Online Network Marketing (ONM) is one strategy that is growing by the masses in popularity. Those who start an MLM or network marketing business will want to take advantage of every opportunity available to grow their business. Some advertising for business opportunities make ONM sound like a different ballgame, but it is important to understand that Online Network Marketing is not a business model but rather a strategy for multi level marketing.

Do diligent research on both the company and compensation plan when you are contemplating any MLM business opportunity. In addition, study the saturation of the products on the market. The product or service must be something most people want or need. Ideally, make sure it requires refills, replacement, or monthly fee for service. Take good care of this customer base and will alleviate the need to keep recreating customers. This is important even if the product or service is not something that is going to be reused.

Hanging out on major search engines checking out the products and company will give you a great way to see the level of saturation of the products or service. Saturation is part of what determines how effective your recruiting and marketing efforts will be. The Internet has caused a much smaller global community than when products were sold primarily through offline strategies. Moving to a new location, when the market for a product is saturated, is no longer an option. The company you might be looking at, if their product or service is already saturated throughout the Internet, you will have a more difficult time growing your Online Network Marketing business successfully. Make absolute sure the company that you partner with has a clearly defined mode of business plan. If less than 70% of its revenue is sold to non-distributors that is the legal definition of a pyramid scheme. When you get involved in this type of business you are taking a risk in your investment of time, money, and credibility.

Being persistent on a consistent basis is the main thing to growing your business. As in any great endeavor, it requires that you work hard and spend disciplined time daily. It is important to make connections with people both on the Internet and in your local community to grow your business and generate the kind of sustainable income that you want. When you follow sound and proven methods that include ONM, you will have a greater chance for success in your business. Read the rest of this entry

Internet Marketing Articles – What do you do when you hit the wall?  This isn't the wall you hit when running a marathon however it can stop your progress if you let it.  So many people ask me, "Sherri  how do you come up with continuous ideas for articles?" or "How do you take a topic & turn it into a 500-700 word report?"

Once you get into the habit it gets so easy…I read a lot of business related stuff, watch many videos, attend almost daily  webinars or training calls, interview other people.  I surf online on Youtube for good ideas, find other people's blogs, articles, & videos (by the way,while you're doing this give a great keyword related comment, what goes around comes around).  I also study out  MLM companies  from npros & mlm watchdog, then I do google searches on all that info to do more research on related content so I get to where I know what I'm talking about. The main thing to remember, "Leaders are Readers!"  If you are continually putting good content in, it starts to become you. You must beware that the opposite is true as well…"You are what you read" mentally and emotionally, just like physically "You are what you eat"!

It doesn't have to be online content either. One of my favorite internet marketing articles was from a catchy headline on a newspaper that popped out at me when we were walking into a restaurant.  The ideas on how I could relate it to a targeted category just started flowing.  I try to keep a notepad with me when I'm out and about because you never know when a "light comes on" idea will hit.  Especially have paper & pen by your bed, I don't know about you, but many times ideas come in dreams or hit as soon as I wake up.  They're usually so vivid you think you'd remember them forever.  Learning from wise authors, inventors, and other creative people, those type of flash ideas usually leave quickly as they came.

Once in a while, most of the content idea hits at once, like a big bucket of water dumping on me, so I just get out of bed, go to my computer & write it all out … Read the rest of this entry

GoSmallBiz.com, after many years of study and actually using the service for our own multiple, small business enterprises, I feel can provide a review with some keen insights.

1) What actually is this GoSmallBiz anyway? 
 

Hang onto your seats! You are not going to believe what this does for Brick and Mortar, Ma and Pa, or even Online Network Marketing Business.For starters, this unique company provides actual business consulting, resources and services designed to help entrepreneurs run and grow their businesses. You have access to a comprehensive body of knowledge and tools targeted specifically at the micro business that is normally only available to large companies at a pretty steep price.

Did you know GoSmallBiz.com was founded by Entrepreneur and NFL Hall of Famer, Fran Tarkenton?  This guy didn't retire after football, he started 15 companies since his game days, Fran has always had a passion for small business.  In 1994, Fran extended his pursuit to his desire of helping entrepreneurs, like himself, gain access to the tools and information they need to grow and compete in the new economy.  Hence, the birth of Fran Tarkenton Small Business NETwork, founded in 1996.   The name was changed to GoSmallBiz.com. as soon as they hit the internet.

2) What does GoSmallBiz do?

Here's the bottom-line scoop. They provide  unlimited e-mail and fax access to consultants for any business related matter. Questions are researched for up to one hour and responded to by the following business day. Topic areas include:

    * Tax
    * Accounting
    * Marketing
    * Finance
    * Advertising
    * Technology
    * General Business

Pretty extensive and impressive right?  Real and I have been in constant Q and A with them, combined with a business legal plan, for many years.  Our local business bookkeeper advised us to avoid some business tax breaks because they might raise a red flag. My husband Real brought this up through the system where a former tax advisor/CPA replied that the tax breaks were legitimate with exact rules and laws of  proof.  We were able to legally save $5000.00 on taxes that year, which payed for our program for many years to come. That, my friends is only one incident of many that saved our bacon in our small businesses.

Home Based Business Leads – Are Your Prospects Jumping Through Hoops Just to Get to You? 

Picture a dog agility training course.  Some are trained to jump through a large hoop knowing there's a favorite treat on the other side.  When the task is accomplished,  they're given a smaller hoop with another favorite treat, and another, and another until the entire series is complete.Would the results be as fruitful if the trainer chased the dog around trying to get him to jump through the smallest hoop.  No way!  That dog would be running from him as fast as four legs could carry him.

It's the same thing with your home based business.  Most people market stupidly by chasing potentials, leading blatantly with their business. So what happens? Prospects want to run or avoid them.  It's natural for them to feel that way as you can see with a simple dog training example. Can you now imagine attracting and incentifizing qualified home based business leads with a "hoops and treats"  MLM marketing system that produces success results on autopilot?

Getting a  targeted MLM lead for your business can be one of the most daunting tasks you can ever accomplish. If you are doing it the way 90% of network marketers are doing it by leading with your business, and chasing people who aren't even looking for a business, then it makes it a more near impossible task.

However, if you have the right tools and knowledge, it is very easy to work smarter, not harder. Just set up a simple MLM marketing system that will continue to generate endless
leads for you automatically. Before promoting any Online Network Marketing Company, you will need a lead magnet that pulls targeted prospects in to get to know you, like you, and trust you.  Something in place to handle and manage your efforts so you can leverage your time and be ultimately successful.  This is where you set up your 3 personalized, MLM magic "hoops and treats".

Be sure to write these down and apply them now: Read the rest of this entry

MLM Lead Generation…You suckered in? You fell for it?  If you did a trial run or paid for an Online MLM Leads System, maybe the trial ended or you've paid a couple of months, but still  have absolutely little or no MLM Leads…What happened?   Most of us do the above – BLAME!  That is a Rip-Off! Those guys are LIARS!!  Come on, you have to admit, we've all experienced it – being taken or assume we've been ripped off, right?

Well, all I'm saying is, let's take some stuff out of the BIG BOOK and do a little inventory here.

FIRST:  What did they claim? 

The best MLM Lead Generation System we've found, has testimonials of people having more, fresh MLM  leads than they have the time to follow-up with. Many say they don't have to buy leads anymore or even pay out for advertising, which was the major cost to keep their business up and running.   Then there is the ultimate we all love to hear…no more cold calling,  harassing your family, friends, or anyone within three feet garbage.  And NO MORE desperation of lead poverty instead  into the full profit mode. 

Did they have a trial period that's now over, the monthly fee has kicked in, and you're ticked off because you are not in the "GaGa Lead Land" they claimed would happen?
 

SECOND:  What have you done? Read the rest of this entry

Exclusive MLM Lead? How great it is when we get just one from an MLM leads list?  How funny it is in the online network marketing or MLM homebased business industry when people hang on to the glory of that one successful MLM marketing lead and get stuck basking. I don't know what happens to cause this stall. Instead of pushing the pedal to the medal, they act as though they have Arrived!

Another thing that happens is we think we are doing a crazy ton of work, getting results with our targeted MLM leads, and then we find out other people are doing 10 times
the work, getting 50 times the results!  How does that happen?  Massive Action  is what is happening and it's conducted daily by many individuals. That's what creates Massive Results working lead generation MLM lists. Let me share how it's done.

First of all, it's not done with cold calls from the phone book! It's done on the phone with 50 – 100 exclusive MLM leads per day that have been attracted to you through a system.  People who have pre-qualified themselves as being interested as an MLM marketing lead. Online network marketing leaders practicing massive action have a set of safety nets they put their targeted MLM leads through–nets starting big and get smaller and smaller, filtering down to highly qualified MLM leads.

MLM marketing leads initially find you through your safety net filtering system giving them value, education, something that will help them with what ever it is they are looking for.  From there, these leads for MLM information "lookers" will relate to you through your website training and offerings, they'll  leave you their name, e-mail, and their phone number. When you are calling a minimum of 50 – 100 targeted MLM leads a day, you don't have time to feel down. You're pumped right up and will find yourself in what we call "The Zone!"

When you're in "The Zone," you're confidence on fire comes through on your phone calls, which continues the process of turning those MLM marketing leads into purely qualified, exclusive MLM leads, ready to follow you anywhere. You're confident enthusiam extends to their answering machines, voice systems, etc. Since with the use of these systems, people are screening their calls more and more, this must come across in your voice messages as well.

The best way to stay in tune to Read the rest of this entry

MLM  Lead List–If you truly want to build your own Online Network Marketing empire you have to guard your own Exclusive MLM Leads like they are your most prized possession. 

People pay thousands of dollars for lists like you are developing. To some ruthless people and or companies they are also worth stealing, many times without you even knowing .

Once you start to gather leads or prospects, do you use some sort of system  to manage and follow-up with your list? This is imperative. It's where you are planting seeds to later reap your harvest.

Is your particular company involved with the MLM leads you develop?  Are you in exclusive control of  what you must deem as your property? This is what you have to really WATCH.

For instance, let's say you invite Tim from your list to a webinar given by either  your company,  your upline, or even someone not on your team…You really want him there to listen to Mr. Dynamo!  Mr. Dynamo is known to close prospects.

That's all fine and dandy, but when Tim signs in to attend, guess who now has his name and email on their follow-up lead list???  Read the rest of this entry

Success In Network Marketing has absolutely NO chance of succeeding, unless you wipe out Stone Cold FEAR.
It will literally Stop your best efforts and your business Stone Cold DEAD. 

Sometimes it's not even recognized.  I'm sure you have witnessed this, maybe even from your own experience.  A Newbie comes in all excited, raring and ready to break all records with their MLM success. They start with an "I will succeed no matter what!" attitude. 

Before learning some simple way to present their complete program (through an online system or by appointment only) they go off and start to babble every ounce of infinite
wisdom they think they have on their wonderful new project to anyone they know or get to know. 

What happens?  They get shut down and snubbed immediately, that's what happens. That is usually when it begins…Fear  starts out as a form of procrastination.

It is when a person will start to put more time into getting ready to talk to people than in talking to people.  If an appointment is made and the other guy doesn't keep it,
fewer and fewer appointments are made.

Pretty soon the telephone becomes the enemy. They start to avoid it like other people are avoiding them…if they came into the game with some "phone phobia baggage" that
magnifies the Fear one hundred fold. The network marketing success dream looks impossible now.

My husband Real, on the other hand, seems to have this love affair with the phone. Read the rest of this entry

MLM Secrets revealed here today are not for the faint of heart.  For any true MLM secrets to work it is not enough to receive, we have to receive and then ACT!  "Daily Discipline Determine Dreams," is my firm belief.

There are five Critical secrets to success in network marketing that are a Must to learn, practice, and then teach by example. Take copious notes, read through to the end, and I'll hook you up to my article that gives the daily SPECIFICS to online network marketing success.

    *  FIRST: It's time get your Dream Board out! 
 
I don't care how old you are, if you're a man or woman, a dream board allows your goals to be tangible, to feel more alive. WRITE your goals down on paper first.  Even if you are a techie, physically write them down.

Then look for pictures that represent the goals you want to achieve. Stick them up on a bulletin board where you'll see it every day. This helps to activate more of your senses and brain involvement in the goal getting process.  When  discouraged, FOCUS on your goals.

What's your completion date?  Be realistic, but stretch yourself too.W rite the date you will complete a goal and break it down backwards. ie…What date will you be half way there, one quarter there, and so on,  and in each increment write specific daily things you MUST do, to get there.

For instance, if one of your financial goals is to be earning six figures annually within 3-4 years, in most compensation plans, ratios come out to sharing your program's complete presentation to 5 people per day, Monday-Friday.  Some company's pay out more and the product or service is a little easier to transfer, so the numbers might be a little different.  If you want to earn more faster…
