Create a Custom Email Address

The problem with all these modes of communication is the mechanisms by which we actually make the connection. This involves remembering numbers, area codes, passwords and email addresses, most of which don't have any useful memory triggers included with them.

You can now customize your email address so that your family, friends and colleagues will never forget it. You'll no longer have to rely on people having your address in their contact books and lists. You don't even have to be creative, you can just be obvious.

You can have as many email addresses as you like, so creating a custom email address will allow you to keep your work inbox and your home and friends inboxes separate. If you love sky diving and you want to connect with your sky diving buddies locally and extend your contacts to other states why not create an email address that is really a mini business or introductory card. For example: Steve(at)skydivingfanatic (dot) com, Marsha (at)parachutelady (dot) net, Phil(at)freefall (dot) com or Karen(at)learnskydiving (dot) net.

Custom email addresses allow you to express a bit of your personality in a digitized cyber world. After all, communication is still about two or more people making a meaningful connection. One of the most important elements of that connection is that it is memorable. How many different emails can you actually remember off the top of your head? The answer is probably no more than about seven. The ones you do remember are probably really obvious like Dave(at)home (dot) com or they have a bit of personality injected into them like Sandra(at)bikeychick (dot)com.

Your personality shouldn't be left out of your email address, after all every aspect of our communication should be about making an impression and a connection.

Just imagine that you're a science fiction fanatic and your about to go to a big sci-fi expo. You are going to meet a lot of like minded people and the reality is you will probably want to keep in contact with at least a few of them. Before you go, why not set up a custom email address so that people remember you and your contact details in one easy address. For example: Simon(at)yoda (dot) net, Eve(at)Bladerunner (dot) com or Gary(at)thedarkside (dot) com. You'll be remembered when everyone else will be forgotten.

Custom email addresses are an easy way to have a bit of fun with cyber communication. But they also play an important part in expressing our personality through our hobbies, dreams and career. If you want to make an impression on people, be remembered, or just give someone a little chuckle every time they think of you, then take a couple of minutes to create your own custom email address - it can say a lot more about you than your street address.

The Most Unprofitable Profitable Business - Part 1

Hold on if you are thinking that I am downing affiliate marketing. I am not! Affiliate marketing is a perfectly legal business. And in most cases it is for real. And that is where the problem is coming from. Because it is real, the clever ones are using this to their advantage. Very shrewd thinkers they are. May they hear these words loud and clear as I set out to lower their incomes by a notch, or even more. And I intend on doing just that.

But wait just a minute, before you can receive these great secrets, you must hurry up and pay me $29.95.

Only then will I give you another worthless set of instructions that will send you even more into the matrix of internet confusion. By the way, I am not charging you anything to receive this. FOR ONCE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS FINALLY FREE ALREADY!

Charging is their way.

Newsflash! I will NOT CHARGE you for this information. You get it for free, if you can still remember what free even means, seeing how these merciless butchers on the internet killed the meaning of the word altogether. Don't forget, free was married to grace, and now free is dead and buried. Now grace is a widow with no husband. Do the clever ones have a conscience?

There, I have vented a little bit. Now I will vent out by giving you the most clever, howbeit legal, scam jobs on the internet. For FREE! NO STRINGS ATTACHED. NO HIDDEN MOTIVES. Nothing. Period!

Affiliate marketing for those of you who are catching up to what it even is, is when someone or a company has something to sell. They will allow an affiliate to go out and advertise their product for them. This is done in many different ways. If the product sells, the company or person gets their money, and the affiliate gets a commission. This is perfectly legal. And there is nothing wrong with getting a commission for a job well done.

For some, affiliate marketing is very profitable. But for approximately 90% of marketers, it is the most UN-profitable business there is. Why is that? Well, to come along and explain why most fail, we have the all too convenient advice from those who do succeed.

Scam #1. In order to find out why you fail so miserably at marketing, you must therefore lose even further by PAYING some marketing guru for his/her fabulous advice. Forget about loving thy neighbor. Think deeper my friend, something stinks really bad here.

If indeed such a person is SO SUCCESSFUL, then why in the world must they charge someone else for their advice. If such people succeed at every turn with their advertising products, then why is their ADVICE products the very ones they are advertising? Hello! Is it more true to say that they are succeeding by the sales of their great ADVICE products?

This is still legal, and something is really being sold. There might even be some good stuff in these products too. There would have to be, to even get any attention, right? There is nothing like fake honesty to get the job done, and oh so cleverly. If somebody is such a good salesman, then what is there to fear in revealing all these juicy secrets to others? Is there not enough for everybody, or is the everybody only exclusive to an exclusive club of self exalted internet pioneers? Perhaps these are people that are so successful that we need to appoint THEM to congress and fix everything for us, right?

My advice, do not buy anything from anyone that gives success secrets. If it is not truly free, then only money is going to influence what you are reading. Not a very reliable proposition.

Scam #2. I am a Millionaire scam.

First you will read of how such and such made their fortune. It sounds so impressive and has you on the edge of your seat. Oh boy, if only that could be you. Wow, what do these people do that I don't? Its got to be real, I see the picture of their sports car, and what a smile these people are giving. They must really know something, and I got to have it.

And oh yes, most of these people may really have the money that they claim too. I do not deny it. And you can find out how they did it, but only after you pay a decent chunk of money. That is right, you must PAY once again.

Why in this world must these millionaires charge for their great secrets if they have so much money already? I guess they cannot pay their bills, right? Are they not out there marketing too? Or are they just marketing their marketing secrets? Which is it? Of course it is legal once again, but it is not righteous even by a long shot. Spare me the success photo shots. Now go to the bottom and get rich from the trenches like everyone else.

My advice, do not buy any advice from guru millionaires who have all the answers for you. If it means toughing it out, then so be it. Stop making these fakes so darned rich. They are exploiting people who are in need, and probably do not care about those down below. The feeling could very well be mutual.

Scam #3. The Sub-Affiliate roundup.

What might this be? Here is the biggy. Do NOT fall for this one, for many out there on the net are using this to the max. It is legal, and it is ok with the companies that have affiliates. I must say, that I disagree with any company allowing sub-affiliates. It is a perfect platform for a very clever roundup of unsuspecting newbie marketers.
Much like a Clever cattle roundup if you will.

What is being done to the unsuspecting is border-lining with being outright cruel. It, in my point of view, is an act that has no conscience on the part of the perpetrator. Before I explain this very dirty trick, let me warn you strongly about people's great make money online programs. Many are selling this sub affiliate idea, and doing so with absolutely no conscience of what they are doing.

Let me make up a name. I will use Joe. Joe clicks through the internet and finds real products to advertise, and products that have decent or better commission. Joe knows how vast the internet is, and how much money and time it takes to advertise people's products. So he comes up with a grand idea. Joe invents a way to have employees under him that he is not paying at all.

Employees that he is not legally responsible for at all. Joe puts up ads for people to hurry up and make money online. Of course, he must use a little bit of fake honesty and say mother Theresa things like "this is not a get rich quick scheme." This gives credibility to Joe. He suddenly becomes a great hero. A monetary saviour.

People sign up for Joe's great program thinking that this is for real. And IT IS! For if it wasn't real, then not even Joe could make any money. But that is not what is on Joe's mind. He is out to make TONS of Money. And he knows how to do it. But he MUST keep the unsuspecting from finding this out.

People sign up, and oh boy, look at the speed people are signing up for Joe's program. Wow!

They sign up so fast because Joe has a message displaying on the sign up page to hurry up, for there is only 30 positions left. And if you don't hurry, then you will lose out on Joe's free training material that normally costs a bogus $1000 or more.

Once signed up, you must get a website or other methods to advertise your products. It looks so easy. Build it and they will come is what Joe has made you believe. Just the same as HE BUILT IT and you came. What a fantastic con-job. Good work Joe. You must be laughing in the background. You must be enjoying that posh mansion, huh?

You can see the commissions rolling in. Now you are about to learn what Joe won't tell you up front. Most commission based advertising will wait to see what commissions you built up for the month, and then you MUST wait another 35 days to even get paid. Would anybody like to tell me, that with today's technology, why it would take so long to GET PAID?! That in itself is wrong, but that is another story.

Joe's new unpaid employees go out in fervor to advertise the products. Did I forget to ask how much of your commissions that Joe gets, that he is not telling you about? Do you think that he will be honest with you? Maybe even half-honesty?

Joe has now built up 500 advertisers under him, and most of them do not even realize what Joe is getting from their work. Now instead of Joe doing all the advertising HIMSELF, he can now comb much more of the internet by having other people do it for him. For all the sales people make, Joe gets his cut. And he is not even doing the work. Very clever Joe. Where were you when we needed world peace? Or are you going to charge for that too?!

Joe is SO gracious though. He has teaching materials that he claims has a value of at least a $1000 or more. He loves you so much, that he is willing to take a FALSE pay cut, and give it to you for free. What a great guy! Joe gives you videos and reading materials that show you step by step how to PAY for advertising on Google, Yahoo, and wherever else.

You get all this free training, so that YOU get to pay for the advertising expense, while Joe gets to collect from his 500 sub-affiliates. What a deal! Rome could have used you. Imagine that, you get the wonderful privilege of paying for advertising, while Joe sits in his posh home raking it all in. Your hard work sure has paid off for Joe. But Joe will never thank you for all the money that you spent on HIS advertising.

But don't worry. Joe claims to have FREE advertising coupons to give you for signing up. He makes you believe that he wheeled and dealed to get them for you. He did not! The coupons are automatic anytime you sign up to advertise, whether it is for pay per click, Yahoo, etc...

Joe did not do you any favors. But he sure looks good. Now don't think that Joe is not advertising some on his own, for he is. That is why he makes sure that you get all the training you need to PAY for your advertising, while Joe is busy out there advertising for pennies, if that. He does not want you to know the FREE ways to advertise, and especially the MOST effective ways. Oh no, because you might get a little too smart, and leave Joe to advertise just for you. And that would mean competition for Joe. Joe doesn't want to spend too much on advertising, that is why he wants you to do it for him, while he rakes it in.

My advice, NEVER become a sub-affiliate. Make sure that you advertise for you and you alone. Nobody else. Let everybody do their own work. Oh how we see the successful people get on video exclaiming how great their business is going, and how they get all these thousands of dollars. Don't believe it. For in many cases, their bragging is mis-directed. Why would they brag? Shouldn't it be all the sub-affiliates that should be getting the credit?

It is not the great wisdom of some marketing guru in most cases. Peoples success many times is only a reflection of other peoples hard work and great ideas. I would call that credibility theft.

Never, and I mean ever, fall for the "there is only so many positions left catchline."

It is scam central, and spiritually it is flat out LYING. Check it out. Go to these so many position left sites, and see the next day how the available positions miraculously go back up overnight. And also, do not fall for clocks that are ticking down to only so many minutes left until such and such an offer expires. Balogney! Hogwash! The Scam Police have BUSTED you. And we place you under spiritual arrest. Take your scams and leave.

People, do not fall for these people anymore. There is true money to be made in affiliate marketing. Make sure that you go directly through a company, and never through such and such. They can make their own money. No offense to people themselves, but enough is enough already. It is past time to clamp down on internet fakery.

Read part two, and I will tell you more of the juicy secrets that these affiliate gurus are concealing from you.

Honesty is the ONLY true resource that we have left. My name Is Kenneth Vance. I pray that you are helped by what you have read today. I believe that you are. These articles are here to benefit you and others. Join the fight and end the injustice done to us by those who take advantage of others through the use of the internet. I am like you, I strive to advertise and make my living. At the same time, I give you many choices of books and videos to see, as well as articles to read and give to others. Come visit me and what my family has built. You are most welcome. http://simplythebestbooks.viviti.com/landing-page-the-truth-of-who-we-are

Internet Marketing Services For Your Businesses

Would you prefer to do a root canal on yourself if you had the how-to-guide to do it or would you prefer to hire an expert dentist who not only knew what to do, but had the training and experience to handle your teeth (and the world beneath them) with care?

Can you save money if you do your own dentistry?

I imagine that all of you would agree that you would rather have a professional dentist handling your teeth. So question one is a no brainer. Question two can be a little be trickier. On the surface, you might answer yes, because you can save money if you do your own dentistry. However, if you think about it, the end result could be more costly - suffering both physically and financially. Consider what tools you would use, and or what you would have to do if you botch it all up. Nevertheless, let us say that you really want to save the money and do not want to pay an expert to handle your teeth.

If you are like me, you are a do-it-yourself type of person. However, there are some things we just do not want to do ourselves. In the world of internet marketing services, we most certainly can take our web site into our own hands and go to work improving everything possible to make it successful. In addition, we might save a little money doing so too. But, consider this:

Time is money and the time you spend on your website as a novice or intermediate internet marketer could actually be spent somewhere else and you would in theory, double your results? How is that possible? Okay, let's look at it like this. Let's say that it will cost $2,000 to do all of the magical WEB work you could ever hope to do on your Web Site, but done by an expert you will have a magical site that will produce financial rewards from that point forward. If you do not want to invest $2,000 because you think you can save it and do it yourself, why not take the same amount of time it would take you to do the work and put it into something you are better at to make the same $2,000? This way, you can invest less time and still hire an expert which will produce more of a result. Less is more in this case.

Something to chew on the next time you think hiring a professional is too expensive. In many cases, you cannot afford NOT to do something. This is the case of getting the right internet marketing services, that is if you plan to have a profitable web site - which I imagine you do.

Training Your Mind For Online Success

No matter where you are starting from, do two things over the next few days:

Number One. Take 3 index cards and write your goal on all 3: Something like "I Own a Website That Earns Me $200 Per Week of Extra Income". Feel free to reword this in a way that makes sense for you. Now, you're going to tape these to places that you look often: your car dashboard, bathroom mirror, in the kitchen, next to your computer, etc. Anywhere that you will see them multiple times per day.

Number Two. Take 15 minutes every day and go somewhere where you will not be bothered. Then, close your eyes and allow yourself to imagine that you already make $200 of extra income per week from your website. There will be a number of positive changes. Notice these, see them in your mind. Feel how proud you are of yourself to have created this extra income all on your own. How proud you are to have this new skill. Imagine the checks coming regularly.

They may sound silly, but these two techniques WORK. It's that simple. This course can't get into all of the details, but these two changes will, in a sense, smooth out the road for your success. By the way, they work for anything, so feel free to use these techniques in other areas of your life, too.

The index cards automatically reinforce the idea that you CAN succeed. And since you see them all day long, the idea is continually going through your mind. The visualization focuses your mind on the goal you have set and helps you prepare the way for success.

Why Should You Market a Health Affiliate Program?

If you are just getting started with affiliate marketing, you may have already experienced some frustrations and failures. Does this mean that you should give up and call it a learning experience? No. This means that you are on the right path. Even the most successful super affiliates have failed. This is how we learn any new skill or job.

The thing about affiliate marketing is that it is front end heavy. This means that you have a whole lot of information to absorb, learn and apply before you even have a chance of finding success. Once you have the basics under your belt, it is likely that you will be looking for affiliate programs with products to promote.

Choosing a health affiliate program to market is a really good choice. There are many reasons for this. The health affiliate program option, as a whole, is often overlooked by many marketers. Newbie marketers tend to gravitate towards internet marketing products. This is a big mistake, because when you try to promote these types of products, you will be up against some of the biggest marketers on the internet.

Finding a less crowded niche is your best option. Many of the health affiliate program networks have really great products. The products that they have available are generally products that suit a specific market and solve a problem.

The very basic premise of affiliate marketing is to provide a solution to a problem that people are willing to pay for. This does not mean that putting a link in front of them will guarantee a sale. You need to learn the art of the presell, which means that you give your target audience some very good information. Perhaps you can outline the problem and some solutions to the issues. Near the end of your information, you can "suggest" a product and why you think it is a good choice. People are more likely to purchase a product if you give them some useful information, not just a sales pitch.

Many of the health affiliate program options treat their affiliates very well. They tend to pay very good commissions, usually in the 50 - 70% range, which is phenomenal as far as commissions go. This means that if you choose products from a health affiliate program that sell for $120.00 and make a sale, you can expect a commission check for upwards of $60.00. Now imagine that you sell five of those products in a week and then 20 in a month. This means you can start making a commission of over $1,200.00 per month.

Another great feature of many health affiliate program options is that their products are usually the type that people will return to order if they found the product to be useful. This is what we call recurring commissions - the best kind. This means you have already made the sale, now you have secured a customer.

People with specific problems are searching for solutions. If you promote products from a health affiliate program, then you are looking to sell to a target audience. The best way to locate those people is through keyword research. Once you have provided some valuable content using the keywords you have researched, you will likely get natural traffic, containing targeted visitors.

Many health affiliate program networks offer excellent tools and resources to assist you in getting your business up and going as quickly as possible. They provide you with great resources because they want you to succeed. Your success means that they have made sales and ultimately, money.

Now for a little about me. My name is Robert Schimmel and I've been earning a living in the Information Technology industry since 1990. Starting in 2008 I began researching, later earning an income, and then writing about the affiliate marketing industry. Early on I experienced what I believe all successful affiliate marketers share which is a "breakthrough" or "ah-ha!" moment. I was obsessed with traffic spending hours on SEO and money on PPC. That's when the "ah-ha!" hit me. It wasn't more traffic I needed just make better use of my existing traffic with products that sold well to a very specific, hungry, and targeted crowd that paid a high commission on each sale. I don't recall the review website I originally found that sparked that moment so I worked with a colleague and web designer to create http://www.tophealthaffiliateprograms.com for my readers. Take a look and see if maybe these [http://www.tophealthaffiliateprograms.com/]health affiliate programs could be the "ah-ha!" moment for you.

How to Use Amazon's Mechanical Turk to Generate Article Topics

Mechanical Turk is a service provided by Amazon. The idea behind this service is that there are tasks best left to real people. Real people can still do some things that computers cannot. For example, if you have a directory of various images and you would like them to be keyword tagged. A computer is not going to be able to look at each image and suggest keywords that describe the content of each image. However, it's a job that would take a human only a split second.

What type of task are best for Mechanical Turk?

The type of task that Mechanical Turk is intended for are simple task for humans, but also task that do not require a large amount of time.

Task such as:

Answering specific questions
Providing simple bits of information
Providing keywords for images

And most importantly for our use.....

Providing a list of questions

How can it be used for articles?

Every article starts with a list of questions about a topic. Who, what, when, where, why and how are the most common. The problems with these questions is you must first have a topic before you can answer the questions. You also can't have just any topic. Your topic must be specific, so specific that the topic becomes an angle. You have to drill down to a microscopic level in order to make to article writing process bearable.

Mechanical Turk can help you with your angle. By asking Mechanical Turk to provide you with the questions (not the answers) about a subject, you are being provided with a list of articles just waiting to be written.

How about an example

Just today I asked Mechanical turk for questions about outdoor grilling. A subject I like and have some knowledge about. I ask people to find 10 questions about outdoor grilling. I was not sure what the results would be, but I thought I would at least have a subject to write about for today if it worked at all.

The results?

I have listed the first response from the mechanical Turk, which can in about 20 minutes after I submitted the request.

When grilling meat, what temperatures should they reach before removing them from the grill?
What is the best way to grill vegetables on the grill?
Which is better, propane or charcoal?
How do I smoke meats using a grill?
How do you go about hooking up a gas grill to an already existing gas line?
Which steak is best for grilling?
What should I look for in a grill?
How much should I expect to spend on a good grill?
Is it worth it to purchase a grill with a side burner?
When is the best time of year to buy a grill?

If you are familiar with grilling outdoors you will recognise enough articles to last quite a while. I would imagine that you will tire of the subject before running out of ideas.

What does it cost?

Right about now I am pretty sure that you are thinking about the cost. You have already spent money on the course, so do you really want to spend money on ideas to right about?

One of the benefits to Mechanical Turk is that you decide what to pay for the responses. The more you pay the more likely you questions will be answered, but the control is yours.

What did I spend?

I asked for 15 people to respond with 10 questions each. The cost I was willing to pay is.05 per list of 10 questions. Less than $1 if I get responses from 15 people.

What if I get results that are unusable?

A nice feature of Mechanical Turk is you must approve or reject all responses. If you ask for questions about cars, and some joker responds with 10 questions about skyscrapers. You have the control, so you can simply reject the users response. When you reject or approve a submitted answer, that also helps to rank the user for other Mechanical Turk request.

In Summary

If you are having problems choosing a topic or angle to write about, the solution may be easier than you thought. Amazon's Mechanical Turk can give you plenty of article writing material at a price that is as close to free as you can get. Empty the change out of your pocket and head over to Amazon to give your brand new article idea generator a try.

Growing a Profitable Melaleuca Business

Melaleuca is a great company that has a track record dating back to 1985 and has received many public awards and accolates for both CEO Frank VanderSloot and the company itself.

The Melaleuca opportunity is one that isn't easily rivaled, as they provide quality consumable products used in everyday life, resulting in frequent re-orders and upsell opportunities.

Some challenges that Melaleuca has is in the company marketing plan presented to new representatives. The average representative will be asked to refer friends and family to the business by asking them to "change stores." While in reality, that is all that's being asked, they don't seem to explain how to overcome some of the prospects skepticism.

Let me illustrate the challenge with that marketing approach, which while it can be effective, it isn't for the average distributor. Let's imagine that you are having happy hour with your friend, and he comments "Have you seen the new movie that just came out? If not, you should go as I think you'd like it." Most people in that scenario would consider going to see the movie.

Now, imagine the exact same scenario as above, but your friend also owns the only movie theater in town. Now when your friend recommends a movie, will your reaction change? Most people will be a little skeptical of the recommendation, as their friend benefits monetarily regardless of whether the movie is blockbuster hit or a flop, as long as people pay admission.

The key to overcoming the above is to be able to demonstrate the value provided by your products and also market effectively to find people who have a want, need or desire for the products you have. Simply put, find a demand in the marketplace and fill it with supply.

With the proper marketing plan to ensure a consistent stream of prospects, the Melaleuca brand and opportunity can provide a formidable business earning opportunity.

Network Marketing - Frustrated, But in Need

For various reasons, from childcare expense to tedious commutes, working from home has certainly become the preference of choice. However, with such a huge array of choices and options that bombards us each day in our junk mail folder, how do you go about pursuing the answers to questions like:

IS THIS A SCAM OR IS THIS A LEGITIMATE OPPORTUNITY?

IS THIS OPPORTUNITY RIGHT FOR ME AND MY CIRCUMSTANCE?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BEGIN A REVENUE STREAM THAT I CAN COUNT ON?

Very prudent questions that, when the right answers are achieved, can save you a considerable amount of wasted time and money. As so many before you, through the years you may have run from one network marketing opportunity to another looking for the promised "financial independence" that seemingly so few seem to achieve. However, network marketing is not to be discounted because it can and does work, "If You Know How To Work It".

So many individuals have been "burned out" using techniques and methodologies for building their business that worked 20 years ago, but not today. What makes this so problematic, is that you tend not to find out the things that are ineffective until you are six months up the road, a couple of thousand dollars in the hole, hours of lost time and many broken or damaged relationships with family members or friends that you approached for the "TENTH" time with another, once in a lifetime, fantastic product or business opportunity.

That's enough to make anyone frustrated and shun network marketing. We cannot lose sight of the fact that it is still a highly recommended form of home-based business and can be unimaginably profitable if done correctly and with some good leadership. Let me share with you a few thoughts that may keep you from becoming frustrated again as well as loosing the confidence and dream of building and developing your own PROFITABLE home-based business.
There are two things that I find to be particularly distinctive in starting, reviving or building to profitability your home based business.

Before I share them with you, let me explain the difference in being different. It is the same parallel as that of the hand tool and the power tool. A "regular screwdriver" will certainly get the job done for the task at hand that calls for one. However, you can get so much more done in a quicker period of time by using a "power screwdriver". The same principle applies to the use of the tools that you employ to build your home-based business. This will greatly minimize, if not even eliminate your frustration when you know and understand the tools that the current leaders of this industry are utilizing to achieve success.

Now, the two things that I have found be effective in giving me a leading edge as follows:

I. Essential Services
II. Attraction Marketing

Essential services are those daily, practical things that people either cannot or will not live without. When times are hard and the budget is tight, people tend to shed luxury and non-essential items that their surplus or discretionary income allowed them to purchase is not there anymore. So things like energy drinks, soaps, vitamins, travel and the like can tend to lose their momentum to cost savings avenues such as your Super Walmart and Cheapticketscom. Often times the products tend to be at a premium price and when you added taxes and shipping cost, the re-occurring sales of those products or some services become a burden, especially when incomes have been trimmed or eliminated by layoffs.

With Essential Services, people must have services, such as electric and gas service to their home or business. Home, business or cell phone services rarely make the budget chop list. It makes sense to me to alignment myself with revenue streams from industries or services that will, for all practical purposes, never stop. Secondarily, the market place is endless in that just about every one of the 275 million or so people in the U.S. uses some type of essential service. Consider the health or dental needs individuals. At some point or another, every single person in the U.S. will need this. Energy, wireless telecom and healthcare are all in and of themselves, multi-billion dollar industries. It makes sense to me to alignment myself with businesses that offer products or services that people are willing to make sacrifices for because they "have to have it". This is money that people will spend anyway and not considered to be an added or extra expense.

Attraction marketing is that power tool that I was alluding to earlier. The magic here is not having to bother any and everybody that comes within "3 feet" of you about your business opportunity. Using the proper tools and with little to no cost, you can literally have qualified people approaching you. You can honestly have more qualified leads than you know what to do with. These are the things (power tools) that the successful leaders are doing, but for some reason or another keep as a highly guarded secret.

People are hurting, losing their jobs and homes, children missing out on their education all because of the lack of money. What makes it so bad is that there is plenty of it out there for you for the getting with just a little time and training. Attraction marketing does not have to be closely guarded secrets anymore. We have to show and teach people how to make it happen and you can do it from the confines of your home without a bunch of hype, just some education.

Did you realize that now you can even have your own infomercial without the expenditure of thousands of dollars. This is available to you now at little to no cost. Can you imagine that calls or e-mails you could generate from a single infomercial to a small market of 10,000 people? The remedy to most business woes is traffic, leads or the attraction of interested people that are coming to you for your products, services or opportunity. The first step of avoiding frustration, even before you start your home-based business, network marketing opportunity is to educate yourself. This will save you so much in lost and wasted time and money.

How Am I Supposed to Build My Network Marketing Business If I Cannot Advertise?

Now, let us say your name is Joe Smith, and you were screaming I am Joe Smith and you love the color blue and all the homes should be painted blue in Chicago. Now, many people would think that you need to be committed to a mental hospital. Now, maybe you also scream that you love Glidden paint. Now, the people hearing you may think you are with Glidden. Now, some gangs in Chicago hear this, and they start to paint homes in Chicago blue in the middle of the night. I would imagine that it would hit the news, and the news media would want to talk to Glidden to find out who this guy from their company was, and why Glidden started painting homes of those who did not want it, painted them blue? What if someone decided to sue Glidden? Now, this could be real bad press, and Glidden would have to defend their name. Does this mean Glidden has a bad product? No!

This is exactly what the companies fear in the policies and procedures, not that you will paint peoples homes blue, but they have to care about what you do and say. It is their reputation, not yours. Now, Joe could be a painter, and he was trying to boost his business because Glidden had the best paint. But who had to defend themselves. Now, magnify this to the number of representatives in your networking company. One bad apple in a basket, can spoil the whole basket. Now, it your in the same company, do you want to be responsible to what all the others do? Of course not. When you became a distributor, you have become an independent distributor or business providing products to your customers. Who are your customers getting the product from? Your business and no one else. What happens if you are marketing products and you find a better supplier? Will you say you are with company ABC now, instead of XYZ? No. You are still your own business. Just like Walmart, they distribute many companies products, but when you are a customer, who are you a customer of? You are a customer of Walmart.

So, can you advertise you? Yes. Can you advertise the benefits of the products you sell? Yes. Can you use the company name? NO! Can you use your business name? Yes! This is one of the biggest secret tools that most networkers do not get, is the tool of positioning. You need to position your business and provide to your customers the benefits that they get by coming through you. If you do excellent business, people will be attracted to you. If you do bad business, yes the people will come after you.

Now, beyond positioning you need to know how to position yourself with the products. I could go into several articles on this, but sometimes, it is better to be trained and an education on how to build a business. Their are many people out there that can help you, find someone that you seem to understand and get with that person.

I have built several networking businesses up, and since I have seen a need in each of the companies, I am helping people learn what you need to do to build a business that will reach success. I have worked on developing a training course as well as tools that are helping people build their businesses. These practices have worked for people in my business and over the years of being in the industry, I could not believe how many people needed just a little guidance and then they could build the business that they desired. I was in a technology company and I bring to the MLM industry automation at its finest to assist others. Contact me and I would love to have a consultation with you for FREE.
