For me it began with a strong desire to want a better life.  I was tired of working the family business that my parents built.  I always felt the obligation to help them see their dreams through, after all…look at what they had done for me.

Where It All Begins

 Even though I worked the family business, late nights I spent online training in network marketing hoping one day it would change my life.  When my dad passed away a few months ago I knew it was time for me to move forward with my online marketing.

I knew the basic things about work a home-based business(MLM):

-recruiting techniques with a script

-applying the 3-foot rule

- cold calling

-Building downlines

and everything associated with MLM.  I could also write articles with targeted keywords.  BUT what I didn’t know is that I could control practically everything myself.  I didn’t need a self replicated website to market for me.  I just needed a system, a leader, a group, to train me.

Taking It To The Next Level

Several months ago I kept getting emails promoting a new training that was about to launch.  The had a fantastic e-mail campaign going on with short tutorials to peek your interest.  I couldn’t wait to get these emails because the content was awesome!  The day came when the launch was to take place and I stayed home just to get in on it.  I got in on the first round and I was ecstatic…I even got bonuses!

As thrilling as that was,  it was no comparison to the way I felt when I look into the back office for the first time.  I was speechless!  The training was the most unbelievable layout that I had ever seen.  Only God could have guided the hand that created this, because no doubt they were about to change 1000’s of lives, including mine.  I never dreamed that there was so much to learn and a system that had it all!  I knew that my life would never be the same because I was on my way to making dreams come true!

Finally I would be able to build my own list of leads.  The time had come to buckle down and build my own blog, create my own lead capture pages, and start my e-mail campaign.  And just think…this one training site has taught me everything.  So what are you waiting on? Don’t you deserve the right to take charge of your own business?

All you have to do is click this link  & for $49.99 a month this unlimited training laid out in away anyone could follow, is yours.  Okay, so maybe you just want it for a month…that’s okay.  You can get out at anytime, and get this, if you find absolutely no value your first month they will refund your money!  But I promise, if you are a serious networker, you will be part of this training for a long time to come…who knows,  maybe you will take them up on one of their many jobs they offer!

I could have listened to my misconceptions but instead I listened to those that were having huge success stories with the network marketing industry.  The time had come to learn everything possible about this ever-changing industry.  To achieve the success they were having I had to realize a few things:

-Success in network marketing does not depend on where you live.

-Success in network marketing depends on how well you network with potential clients and business partners.

-Success in network marketing depends on your marketing strategies.

-Success in network marketing depends on how well you present these to others.

So, no matter where you live there is absolutely no reason you cannot have the success you desire in network marketing.

Location Has Absolutely Nothing To Do With Your Success In Network Marketing

Many failing network marketers blame their failure on their location, actually believing that the location of their home has a direct impact on their network marketing success or lack of success.

Network marketers who live in small populations complain that they can’t build a business in that area because they don’t have enough people to talk to about their products, services, or business opportunities they offer through their company.  They claim that if they were in a larger population they would have a successful business.

On the other hand, if you talk with the network marketers that live in the large populated areas you would find that they feel the same, only that their problem is that the population is to large.  They will tell you that people are skeptical about business opportunities and that they can’t find enough prospects to look at their opportunities.  They are sure they could succeed in a smaller population.

It doesn’t stop there though.  Network marketers use other reasons for their lack of success, such as the low income of the population won’t allow prospects to afford the opportunity, or the higher income indiduals just don’t need the opportunity because they already live the good life.  This cycle goes on and on, never ending!

This is the facts though, it really doesn’t matter where you build your business.  Third world countries have very successful network marketers despite the average household incomes ranging around $300 to $500 a month.  As for the upper class, you know those guys who already have it all, they have network marketers building huge businesses with several distributors in their organizations who already earn six and seven figure incomes outside of network marketing.  Because no matter how much a person earns, they always think there is a better way and just maybe they are right.

So face it…your area is only an excuse that you are allowing to hold you back.  Stop believing that lie and begin building a successful network marketing business.

The Power Of The Internet

Today we are living in the age of sharing information, from place to place and culture to culture, the the use of the internet.  this has given network marketers the power to operate their business from literally anywhere in the world and have huge success.

So, stop the excuses!  Either make the committment to build your network marketing business in your area or find an area you are comfortable with.  Then use the power of the internet to build it ther never letting small excuses beat you out of big opportunities.

What is Advertising?

Advertising is making both repeat customers and potential new customers aware of an individual product or service that you’re selling.  Each advertising plan targets a single product (or service).  The advertising of every product or service is unique.  Advertising is in many forms:

* commercials

*newspaper and magazine ads

*emails

*brochures

*Flyers

*cold calls to potential clients (word of mouth)

What is Marketing?

Marketing is a broader range of activities for a product or service.  Activities involved in marketing a product include:

 *Research

*Advertising

*Sales

*Public relations

*Customer service and satisfaction

Marketing also targets one product or service, but it’s much more technicial than simply advertising a product.  Here’s a look at the different aspects of marketing.

1. Research

Research is very important to effectively market a product or service.  Here are some questions to ask:

Who are the potential customers for my product?

What do those potential customers want and need and can I provide it?

What are my potential customers willing to pay?

Who are my competitors, and what are their strengths and weaknesses?

How can I strengthen the competitors weakness?

What can I do that my competitors can’t? (What’s my niche?)

2.  Advertising

Use your research to create your advertising campaign for your product or service. Make sure you keep the above points in mind, showing the answers in your campaign!

3. Sales

Making sales of your products or services is self-explanatory. If you’ve done your research and created an effective advertising campaign, you will begin to see sales from those efforts. But there’s more work to be done in your marketing campaign.

4. Public Relations

This is your ongoing relationship with the public, and continuous promotion of your business so that people view you in a positive light. This can be done through press releases and the other methods you have used to promote your business.

You can also go straight to the public by becoming more involved in your community through public service projects.

5. Customer Service and Satisfaction

Once you have developed a relationship with an individual and they become your customer you do not want to jeopardize that relationship. Keep them informed with all upcoming sales and events. Do a survey and find out how you are doing in the eyes of a customer. When customers come to you with complaints or questions, make sure you’re there for them and attend to the complaint or answer their questions immediately. This will strengthen the relationship and head off potential problems in the future.

As you can see advertising and marketing are not the same thing. Advertising is just one aspect of your overall marketing plan. The two should go hand-in-hand to help you better meet the needs of your customers and create unlimited sales potentials for you!.

I am a member of a fantastic group with superb training that keeps me highly informed on many things, one being what is needed to operate effectively online.  I was recently attending some of this great training via the website back office videos and came across a training section, Email Marketing.  As luck would have it, right there in the first video tutorial…Autoresponders!

Just What Is An Autoresponder?

Let me start by saying that when you start an email marketing campaign, a crucial component is the autoresponder.  While the email marketing system keeps up with your prospects, where they were generated from, and allowing you to organize these into groups, it is the autoresponder that actually keeps the prewrittten emails in a database and sends the emails out to the desired group of prospects at regular intervals.

An right Email Marketing System that uses an autoresponder does the following:

-  Loads in your leads from various capture pages.

-  Allows you to creat multple lists depending on what source the lead was generated from.

-  Create multiple Auto-Email Campaigns.

-  Can send a single email to anyone on your lists.

-  Link your own lead capture page to your Auto-Email.

-  Put a subscription box on your Blog.

-  Automatically comply with Email Marketing Laws.

-  Automatically optimize Email deliverability.

-  Automatically manage opt-outs.

-  View tracking tools to adjust your subject headlines and topics. 

I know what you are thinking, how on earth could I have ever done all of this on my own?  Trust me, it would have been very confusing to say the least.

Is It Essential To Building An Online Business?

If you plan on keeping up with and continually promoting to your list then you bet it is!  I don’t know about you but I plan on having a huge, huge list since most networkers know that the fortune lies in the list!  To promote to those prospects then it is essential that you relate to them and go to where you first attracted them.  The autoresponder keeps up with that and works for you even while you are sleeping or away on that great vacation.  It is an essential tool for properly taking care of and solving problems for your lists!

Almost four years ago I ran across a little book called “Building On A Budget” by none other than Mike Dillard.  This book changed the course of my training forever…I just didn’t realize it at that time.  I continued to struggle but not as much as I had been.  I must say though, if I had of followed the directions in the book the way it said to I would have achieved success about 3 years sooner. 

Several months later Mike came out with Traffic Formula 1!  I wanted this course so bad but I couldn’t come up with the $1000+ to purchase it.  I was devastated because I had a really strong feeling about this training and sure enough when the training was over I saw 100’s of leaders develop from this one program.  My loss, right?

A few months ago I heard through the grapevine that Mike was coming out with MLM Traffic Formula 2.  I immediately started saving the money because after seeing all of the success storied from the first program, I knew that I could not let the Traffic Formula 2 slip through my fingertips.  Mike was only allowing 350 people in,  so I sat on line for hours it seemed to ensure that I was one of those 350 people 

Happily I got into the Traffic Formula 2 and the cost was a very special price of ONLY $297.  Has it been worth it?  We have only completed 2 of the 10 modules and my business has changed drastically:

-for the first time I have a master plan

-for the first time I can draw people to me with the wording I use on capture pages, ads, etc.

-for the first time I have prospects calling me

-for the first time I am in control of my business

But don’t take my word for it.  Check out this invitation from Mike Dillard himself.   After this I really could not imagine anyone who is wanting to make their fortune on line or off not taking advantage of this huge training and life-changing event.  I hope to see you there!  Just click on this unique link!

To Your Success,
