Multi-Level Marketing Vs GPT (Get Paid Today): What's Real and Not?

Not easily accomplished.

Most people are not aware of how wealth is created nor how it should be managed if ever attained. All you have to do is look at the history of lottery winners. Most of them have been ordinary working people without the necessary education to intelligently deal with their windfall. Sure, if you decide all you want to do is have the time of your life and blow the whole reward in a fantastic year, that is certainly a choice one could make. And for some, that would be perfectly fine. But unfortunately, many manage to do just that without ever realizing what is happening to them and before they know it they are right back in the same financial morass they were in before winning their fortune.

One of the main reasons that 5% control 90% of all the capital is because they DO know what money is all about, and how to not only protect it, but make it work for them. The most appealing prospect of multi-level marketing is that its compensation plan, generally, is designed to do for the ordinary 90 percenter what they most likely would never be able to do for themselves, and that is to create a very significant residual income that will continue long after the person stops actively doing the multi-level marketing him or herself.

This happens because the system works by what is known as leverage, whereas one can build a large network of people, all of whom have equal opportunity to do the same, whose earnings are shared with them. The more people one has, the more money, usually, one can make. This MLM system is frequently referred to in many of the presentations one will attend as being a "vehicle." We will frequently hear that "it is all about which vehicle we choose."

There is truth to that. Donald Trump recognizes it. So does Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad), both of whom are firmly within that 5% of big money controllers. In a recent Forbes Magazine article they both declared that this vehicle is perhaps the only way left in the present economy that just about anyone could expect to create a large fortune. In fact, the Donald has even started his own multi-level marketing company, so he put his money where his mouth is.

But is it really likely that our efforts to create this income stream which could produce $10,000/ month, let's say, have a good probability of success? We all hear about the top producers are making even more than that, reaching $40,000/ month and more...month after month. Well, the fact is that in order to actually realize that dream goal, one would need to have in his/her down-line a dozen or more people in the top tier of the company levels. With attrition being what it is, anything less would likely stop producing such significant income within a reasonably short time.

And for those who think they would be happy to create a network which would provide them with a modest $5000/ month, the fact is that for the same reason as mentioned that would only be happening as long as the marketer kept working, keeping the front line populated and managing the 2nd and 3rd tier motivated and busy. The whole deal could collapse if a significant member should stop, for whatever reason, or move. This is just the way it is. The only security is to have a huge network of top earners under you, if you want to not work and just collect big income.

But we all are used to working and frequently for much less than we would like, so at least here you would continue to work, yes, but you would have more control over your life and also the potential for big gains. I know many very wealthy MLMers who got there because that "crazy" person appeared in their downline, that amazing producer who never quits and turns everything into gold. It could happen; not likely, but certainly possible. Unfortunately, that little event is not something one can control or predict.

So, the bottom line we need to look at here is what is the actual value of creating a business that produces even a "modest" $5000 monthly? That's only about $60,000/ year; not enough to replace many of our incomes if we live in a large city like New York or LA, but certainly a nice addition. To create that $60,000 annually, at a 5% return (not easy to find these days) you would have to have a cash pile of $1,200,000 sitting there, working for you. Anyone in the upper 5% of the population likely doesn't even have to think about that. They know. The problem is, it is still too small an amount to be able to have consistently produced for you if you're depending on a firmly entrenched network that you can forget about. To be truly self-sustaining, your network needs to be huge. And if that is the case, you will also be making a lot more than $5000/month residual income.

All the same, multi-level marketing is still a very good way for the right people to make good money. It's just the big carrot that is the unlikely reward for most. But are there alternatives?

Well, yes. There is one I have learned about called G.P.T. (Get Paid Today) and it is something which many might like to consider. Just like multi-level marketing, G.P.T. isn't for everyone. Anything you do will require commitment, discipline, and work. But financially speaking, it may make more sense to some people to consider this alternative and I'll now explain why.

Growing frustration and dissatisfaction with MLM has opened the door a few years ago to G.P.T. which is now becoming very popular. The financial risks of the downline helped to create this system which changes the focus of the multi-level marketing industry from a long-term residual income to an immediate leveraged income.

Building a network is very difficult for many reasons which we all know too well.

� Most people we approach are employee minded people who don't really understand what it means to be an entrepreneur and don't seem to ever get it. We waste a lot of time with them, and time is money.

� Putting together a network that produces $10,000/month means building a downline of thousands. With G.P.T. you can do it with just 10 customers/ month...or less.

� Money today is worth more than money tomorrow and certainly next year. With G.P.T. you get paid today and can invest that money in bona fide residual income systems other than MLM like real estate or the market.

� Professionals are not usually interested in working a few hours a day selling vitamins, or whatever, for a $300 to a $1200 check, so here they have a vehicle where they can realistically pull in $10,000 / month from the start.

So how does this actually work? Most G.P.T. systems are found in what is called "Top Tier" opportunities. They are called that due to the quality of the people they attract as well as the significant incomes they produce compared to a regular MLM. Many of them are set up with a "Two-Up" compensation plan where a product costing $1500-$2000 will pay out an immediate $1000 commission. Originally, these G.P.T.s were getting objections because they did not offer residual income. But that is no longer true! Today, there are growing residual income comp plans and they are getting better each day.

But even without that residual compensation plan, there is another important factor which one needs to consider. And that is when you earn a $1000 commission up front, today, it's the same as getting an entire year of residuals whether the new rep builds out the line or not!

Think about that.

In a traditional multi-level marketing company, how many people would you need to build a $4000/ income? Five hundred? Twenty five hundred? Better double it if you consider attrition and cancelled orders. What if you lose a big leader? Bottom line is that it's no walk in the park to get this bus moving.

But how many customers would be required to make that same $4000 in a good top tier program?

Four. That's it.

That's one customer a week to make $48,000 in a year, and that doesn't even figure in the compensation plan which could dramatically increase that figure as much as ten times.

Also to be considered, as I mentioned before, is the value of the money you get today vs. that which you get down the road. The cost we have to make to keep our MLM accounts active also need to be considered. Sure, many of us actually love the products we need to buy each month, but the reality is that we could easily spend the average $200/ month, or $2400/ year on top of the other expenses we have for travel, etc. So after 6 years with an MLM system we'd have spent a minimum of $14,400, but our total cost for the Top Tier after the same 6 years would still be the original $1500 (average) cost of the product/ service.

That being said, the common objection that Top Tier start-up is too high a cost doesn't make financial sense. The start-up cost for the MLM will be at least $2400/ year and will continue, while the $1500 average Top Tier cost is a one time deal.

And of course the really nice feature about the Top Tier G.P.T. which I personally appreciate even more than the money aspect is that I get to choose who to work with and deal with more sophisticated, serious people. I don't have to put up with cluelessness such as people who really believe that they can start a profitable business with no money! I don't have to hear excuses from people who can't get out of their own way but who say they are "motivated" and want financial freedom. Well, yeah!!

In the Top Tier businesses which in some cases will include complete marketing formulas containing mentoring, software and immediate support, we see the serious business people. They already know how to advertise, have good phone skills, can follow instructions and be disciplined, but have found that it isn't working out too well for them. They are looking to make the big money and can recognize the better opportunities when they see them.

It's well known that we are going to be most like the people who we have around us, so it's really up to us to consider who they should be and act accordingly.

So to sum it up, comparing multi-level marketing to G.P.T., I think we understand that both have certain aspects which work and which need to be considered by any home marketing entrepreneur. The multi-level marketing model is well known, has been around a long time, provides what seems to be an easy entry and has hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of people already working it. Some of the companies, in particular, have very good energy and many people feel confident being associated with these. This is a good thing and is appreciated by many I have seen.

The G.P.T. Top Tier is a model which makes more sense to a more sophisticated person, one who understands money a little better and who can leverage the system to make a huge income without the significant running costs associated with MLMs but often overlooked. It's also a lot more fun to be dealing with people who don't keep repeating "pyramid scheme" like some broken record no matter what is presented to them.

The choice is certainly yours to make. It's just a good idea always to learn as much as you can about something before jumping in, but at the same time I have heard it said that run of the mill, not very successful people take a long time to decide to do something, but they tend to stop doing it when faced with the inevitable frustrations that any endeavor will present. But successful people, those who really make it big are t hose who make their minds up quickly when they see something that they sense is "right," and they just stick with it. They don't quit no matter what junk they are forced to deal with.

After all is said and done, perhaps this is the most important lesson we need to know.

Top Business Ideas - Top Ten Business Ideas for the New Decade and Beyond

Now, there is no guarantee of success for any type of business start-up of course, but if you do your research and study current and future trends (such as demographic shifts), your chances of success will be greatly increased.

So without further ado let's dive right into the top ten business ideas (top business ideas) that figure to be red hot for the foreseeable future;

(1) Home Senior Care for the Elderly - With the ever-aging population and the demand for independent living by the elderly, businesses that can provide personal home care services to the elderly -- cooking, grocery shopping, physical therapy -- can position themselves for growth and profitability for years to come.

(2) The Boomer Revolution - As the baby boomer generation continue to age, opportunities for the astute entrepreneur will be bountiful. It is expected by the year 2020, that 80 percent of North American-born workers will be older than 50, this according to entrepreneur magazine. This will open up tremendous growth opportunities in area's such as retirement real estate, retirement recreation, resort services and personal care i.e. nutritional counseling to help boomer's look and feel better. I could go on and on. There are literally hundreds of money making opportunities that the opportunistic entrepreneur can tap into in the 'Baby Boomer Economy'.

(3) Wellness Industry - The wellness and natural health care industry is expected to exceed the mainstream healthcare industry in the very near future. As a matter-of-fact, the wellness industry is expected to hit the trillion dollar mark by the year 2012. Nutritional consultants and those who distribute wellness/natural health products and services will be in great demand here.

(4) Healthcare - According to the U.S. Department of Labor 10 of the 20 fastest-growing occupations are healthcare-related, and the industry will generate 3.2 million new jobs by the year 2018. This growth is due to aging population (graying boomers) which will result in the expansion of the home care industry (expected to increase by 50 percent over the next decade).

(5) Advanced (skilled care) Home Care for the Elderly - There will be an increase in demand for services that help the elderly that have temporary or permanent disabilities and illnesses, which will require 24 hour around the clock skilled nursing and medical care.

(6) Mobile Marketing Consultant - Now that mobile devices are part of mainstream society, there will be a growing demand for mobile marketing consultants that advise businesses on how to promote and market their business on mobile devices.

(7) Social Media Consultants - With the explosion and or dramatic increase in popularity of social media networks such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, there will be a tremendous demand for social media consultants who advise business on how to best position themselves and benefit from these social media networking sites.

(8) Home Improvement and Handyman Services - With no end in sight to the current economic crises, cash-strapped homeowners will be staying put in their homes and thus you will continue to see a big demand and need for handyman and related services.

(9) Outsourcing - With companies desperately looking for ways to trim cost and streamline operations, they will look to outsource what has traditionally been in-house functions -- human resources, accounting, legal and IT jobs -- to independent contractors.

(10) Children's Educational Programs and Services - Because of major cutbacks in school budgets due to the economic crisis there will be a big demand for tutoring and related academic programs and services.

While this does not cover everything, you need to, as stated above, do your own research on consumer sentiments that tap into future economic trends.

3 Best Practices for Exceptional Webinars: How To Deliver Top Notch Virtual Presentations

Best practice #1: Prepare slides with maximum visual interest. Use lots of pictures and as few words as possible. Words you write may not be as visible to presenters with a smaller screen. Make an impact with images and photos. Take the time to prepare slides that are visually appealing and capture the audience's attention. Having fewer words, rather than more words also helps to protect your intellectual property. The webinar should ideally be a combination of stellar visuals combined with solid audio content and fun interaction.

Best practice #2: Expect your audience to multi-task. Research shows that over half of all webinar attendees do something else during the session. This includes checking their e-mail, playing games or engaging with social media. Think about your own experience as a webinar participant. Didn't you multi-task during the session at least once? The reality is that we have a shorter attention span when we are on line, as opposed to being in a live setting. Rather than wishing your audience's attention wasn't divided, accept this as a normal part of webinars. Take it as a challenge to keep your material engaging!

Best practice #3: Make. Every. Word. Count. Eliminate the "um"s and "ah"s from your presentation. Because you know that many of your participants will multi-task, you are doomed to lose them if you ramble or babble. Keep your verbal content crisp, clear and concise. Learn how to convey your content without reading from a script and use your voice to convey how excited you are by the material. The more "into it" you are, the more "into it" your participants will be. Capture them with concise wording delivered in an energetic way.

Getting More Business, The High Tech Way

Human nature dictates that when they are looking for a particular site, they will only choose one of the top five listed when they have sought out how many companies are doing any particular work. It is logical therefore for anyone, who has a service or product to sell, to want their site right up there where the world can see them. Very much like conventional shops in a mall, the customer will naturally veer towards those at the front of the mall, near the entrance, and not go digging around in the back of the mall where there are literally dozens of small stores vying for attention. This is the same with the internet and the sites that appear first are the ones which glean all the business for sure.

Of course, pay-per-click advertising is used quite a bit these days, but this can turn out to be a little expensive without the guarantee of any results. Some owners of these sites will opt for the PPC method and spend days looking trying to promote their own website. This is in an effort to shift that site to the top of the list. This does smack of buying a dog and then doing all the barking themselves, but it is probably the only thing that they know how to do.

Enter the third-party companies which take a whole new approach to this thorny issue. What they do, for a monthly fee, is to work out which words stand out strongly as ones which will be linked to that particular site. In this instance, let us say designer shoes for a site which sells copies of designer shoes etc. The company then writes articles with these words scattered in the text but adds some 'back links' which enable the reader to click onto them. Once this is done, the reader is taken directly to the site paying for this service and the deed is done.

The general idea is that some rather interesting articles are scattered in targeted sites around the internet to pick up interest from those who are researching a subject. Thus, by encouraging people to look at a site in a good way, eventually that site will progress up the list and be in the top five before very long.

This third-party company really knows its stuff in that it knows exactly where to target the articles and where they are likely to get referrals from. Indeed, if they do not deliver on their promises, some companies actually keep on with the articles until a definite improvement is seen by its customers.

Top Three Recession Proof Businesses

What businesses can possibly withstand this difficult time during the time of recession? Here are the top three businesses that can still survive the difficult financial crisis brought about by recession.

First is the food and beverage business. Even if people are having difficulty on their finances, it is just impossible to skip on the primary needs which are food and beverages. The most likely scenario is that families and individuals who are tight on budget would spend less for other things like, clothes, travels, jewelries and accessories, so they can still have enough money for food. So, food and beverage business is something that will not be badly hit by recession.

Second is health care. Whether the economy is in progress or not, healthcare is something that is inevitable for most people. It is imperative to put our health among the priorities. When people get sick, they would always resort to consulting the experts and people who are most knowledgeable in the field. This is also not just limited to the doctors and physicians because the health care service includes the other sectors of the industry like health assistants, nurses and others.

Third is the repair service. There is just no end to the things that have to be repaired whether inside the house, offices or other venues. Regardless of economic or financial struggle, clogged sinks, car break down, electronics repair and even carpentry is just unstoppable. Oftentimes, people just delay having to call Mr. Repairman but there will come a point when they just do not have a choice but call and have things repaired. Others would even attempt to fix it themselves but will just end up calling the expert.

Internal Credit Control - Top Tips to Stay on Top of Your Invoices

Does the above sound familiar? Simply introducing a few strict measures into your own credit control procedures could reduce the number of days it takes your clients to pay your invoices.

Never be afraid to ask for payment. After all, you agreed in advance what you would do, what it would cost and when it should be paid. So why allow an extended period of credit at your own expense?

Try incorporating these simple steps into your procedure.

� The first day after the invoice falls due for payment you make a polite call simply reminding your client that the invoice is due

� Seven days after that, call again to ascertain if there is a problem with the bill

� Seven days after that write to the client seeking payment of the bill and remind them of the terms of payment

� Seven days after that you confirm that you will place the matter into the hands of your solicitor if the bill remains unpaid

� Seven days after that, instruct a firm of solicitors with a debt recovery department that provides fixed fees. That way, you know what you will be paying before you provide instructions

Always make sure you note the contents of each conversation, especially if the reply is "No dispute and we will pay".

Try the above and see if it reduces the number of days your bills go unpaid and don't forget to carry out your threats to escalate matters too!

Elements of Top Home Based Businesses

While you search for top home based businesses opportunities online, keep in mind the aged logic: there is never anything for nothing. Most often, in any real life situation, and the internet happens to be one real life thing, the efforts that one puts into a business will be commensurate with the income they rip from it. So if you find an opportunity that promises millions for just 30 minutes of work every day, ask yourself questions.

It is on the internet, you definitely are not the first to see it. So do you know anyone who has taken advantage of that top home based businesses opportunity and made a success? When it comes to this, many people will overlook it and think that the world is so wide and such a person could be on the other side of the globe. Right, but do you take time to Google and see if you can find users comments on that opportunity?

Look at what you are paying for. Why should you give away your money, even if it's just a dollar to a stranger if you do not quite well understand what you are paying for? Most unscrupulous people seeking to steal from you will ask you to pay for something like a starter kit for your top home based business. If you are desperate about getting a job, you will buy that kit without first asking what it contains or why you would need a starter kit for that kind of a job. Do not make such a mistake.

Sell real things and not a business. This is what I mean. If you get an opportunity online where you are supposed to be affiliated to some already established company, make sure you are getting into partnership with the business to be selling its products for a commission rather than selling the business to other people.

You may get some income selling the business, if you manage to convince some people to join the company but how many people will be willing to work for that company. On the other side, online shopping has become a norm to many people so you can be sure that you will have hundreds, if not thousands and beyond, of people buying real products if you do your homework well.

In conclusion, if you think about top home based businesses, think about opportunities that will benefit you for a long time and not those that will send you searching again just too soon. The opportunities must fall within what can logically be true and this is the most important thing.
