How to Succeed in Online MLM

The principle of MLM is not to be dependent upon anyone else after a little while. You need to put in the work in the beginning but, once you understand the principles and follow direction, doing something to market your business every single day, you will have an indpendent, residual income that you never dreamed possible previously.
If you are finally serious about experiencing financial success online you are in the right place. This is where it all begins for you because the newsletter behind this site will share secrets to success and you will have knowledge that has cost me hundreds of dollars in training and development. Nothing that is recommended hasn’t been proved to work. You are cutting corners because someone else has gone before you.

Forget everything you have been taught about generating cash on demand through the Internet. Most of what is sold to good people these days is a bunch of bad advice and general information.

My intention is to ensure you:

• know what you will be doing
• You will know why it will work

That is my promise to you today. This is not a hobby. I share with you serious business opportunities, which you can make serious money if you follow the plan.
Let the lazy opportunity seekers waste thousands of dollars on expensive products and programs that promise the world for doing nothing. You are smarter than that right?

I ask you to do three things:
1. Choose your Online MLM business carefully (Global NPN)
2. Once you have made your decision, Stick with it! Do not move!
3. Do something every single day forever to market your business, online forums, traffic exchanges, solo ads, articles, social networking, blogging, looking after your team, sharing information, emailing your list,…..something

It would be nice to work with you directly in my mlm but it doesn’t matter to me if you wish to go with someone else. Just follow good advice and stick with it. Rome was never built in a day.
Too many people switch from one thing to another without giving online network marketing a chance.
I love Global NPN and you can check out this free report. I love  GDI too. 

Both are proven businesses with solid business plans and generous payment structures. You have lots of choice but if you went with something else and just wished to take advantage of the free information then I will be happy to help.
The Internet is a place for random acts of kindness. I believe in giving and sharing. So happy to help in whatever way I can.

Have a great and successful day! ....... Kevin

Building A Downline Sucks...

Who is Affiliate Funnel for?

Affiliate Funnel was set up to help people get the training and traffic sources to create their business. Focused primarily on free and low cost traffic sources it allows you to have a single point or funnel to send new subscribers to that will help to promote the various traffic generation and tools on the back end.

It works quite well for building traffic exchange, safelists and list program downlines with out the problem of most of the downline builders. There is no back end product being pushed and each member can add their own.

So if you have an MLM you like, you can show it to your downlines. If you don’t like MLM programs and prefer other products you can promote those on your back end. Either way you get to pick the programs.

They have an extensive training section and supply pre-made squeeze pages and pre-made email series to get your list building started.

Add in 3 weekly training seminars, an active forum and it is perfect for the person just starting.

Who is Affiliate Funnel not for?

Because of the focus on free to low cost resources it is not for the person working in areas outside of the make money at home niche. The exception would be the person looking for the training and willing to apply that on their own. For the most part though it would not be a fit for people outside of this area.

Check out Affiliate Funnel and join today. You can join for free but there are advantages for upgrading.

Creating Effective Emails

Now that you are starting to build your list you need to learn the key features of list building that will make you a huge success. Once you learn these steps you will be able to write killer emails that get opened time and time again producing results for your business.

Step #1 Before You Write

It is important to know you will not be writing the best emails right after this course. It takes time but once mastered you will do these steps without even thinking about them. There is one tool you need to add to your arsenal right now. Your own domain name – When promoting a affiliate product or service you are hit with one ugly URL. By having your own domain name you can then redirect a professional looking url to this affiliate page.  For example http://3ab75poorer7t8p3uczeri33bu.hop.clickbank.net/ is a click bank affiliate url.  By owning your own domain you can now direct your readers to http://www.yourdomain.com/recommends/product This looks much better inside an email and encourages a higher clickthru ratio. You can register a domain name with NPN and have your sites hosted by them too.

Before you start writing think about what your intentions are about the email you are creating. When creating your outline there are 5 questions you need to answer.

1. Who are you?
2. What do you want?
3. Why should I care?
4. What’s in it for me?
5. What do I do now?

Step #2 Your Subject Line

When your creating your subject line you need to spark curiosity while giving away a small hint at what is inside. An example of this would be “Secret revealed that will blow your competition away!” This inclines the reader to open up the email to find out what this secret is.

Another tactic that can be used is by asking a question but to make it as general as possible within your niche. An example of this type of subject line would be “How often do you make this mistake when XXX?” XXX would be the name of your niche you are working in.

A third tactic is to make your subject line benefit oriented. An example of this would be “You can boost your income by 20% overnight” This makes readers wonder what this new tactic is and that they can put it into place and get results fast.

The forth and final tactic is a scare tactic which has been used with much success lately. An example of it would be “This is for serious marketers only!” It creates a sense of exclusivity and prompts the reader to open your email and find out more.

I can provide you with a list of subject lines. Drop me a line if you want them. You will find my address in the report you requested.

Step #3 Your Email Content

Now that they have opened your email you need to create value to keep the reader wanting your product . Within the first few sentences be sure to get to the point and tell the reader what this email is about.

Within the body of the email create key bullet points that make your product or service unique from others and how it will  save them time or money. As you are writing the body of your email make sure you include small key phrases to keep them wanting more such as… As a result, Let’s not forget, Why? and Guess what? This keeps your readers engaged and wanting to read more.

The most important step is your closing. Without a good closing your reader  will not click on the link and buy or sign up. You need a strong call to action here on what you want your reader to do. Do you want your reader to buy a product? Then tell them how to with further steps. Do you want your reader to spread the word of your website to their friends? Show them the affiliate program and how they can easily do so to earn a commission.

You need to give your reader a reason to act now. If you don’t the could hold off on buying your product forever! Creating a reason to take action now can be done in many ways. Offer a limited time discount on the product, limit the number you will be giving away before the price goes up.

Hope this helps .... Regards from Kevin

Are You Feeling Overwhelmed and Confused?

If you're feeling overwhelmed at all with all the information

and training...I just want you to know...it's OKAY...

Take a breath...relax...and lets just take this a step at

a time.

You know, feeling overwhelmed and confused is one of the

MAJOR obstacles that MOST online marketers face at some

point in the process. It is to be expected. Realize that you are learning and attempting to master brand new skills.

You are growing and developing yourself as a marketer.

This is a process... and you must be willing to go through

the discomfort and face the challenges of learning with

perseverance and determination.

Expecting to learn it all in one day is like expecting you to

start kindergarten and graduate with a PhD in 3 weeks' time.

It just isn't gonna happen..... but....

You are SO CLOSE. You can only fail if you give up!

Honestly. You've got everything you need to make money

online included in our Global NPN system.

There isn't ANYTHING else you need right now.

You have your website, your capture page, your autoresponder,

a complete sales funnel, your m0ney making programs, and you

now have the knowledge to DRIVE traffic to your website.

The secret now is to follow a simple, proven marketing

strategy and stick to it until it produces results.

Focus on the fundamental marketing strategies that continue

to produce results. Stop surfing the net looking for some

magic strategy, silver bullet or blasting software.

Don't waste your time. Commit to completion.

The strategies we teach here are used in one form or another

by all of the top successful marketers. I did not create

this myself. I learned the strategies from some of the top

income earners online. I follow it every day to generate

leads and sales in my business.

Use the training here to put together your own marketing

plan that focuses on your favorite techniques.

The secret is to implement and to stay CONSISTENT.

I am always here to help ... regards from Kevin

6 Sure Signs of the Best Home Business

There are many, some say millions, of people looking for the best home business that will fit them. The best home business for your needs must fit your requirements.
Here are six areas to look. The best will have all six fit you perfectly. Only, you will have to try them on first. Success is a function of learning from your failures. The only way to guarantee failure is to quit.

1. A company and its track record.
I wonder what the attraction is to prelaunch, brand new and get in before anyone else does. Participating in these kinds of offers will almost guarantee your failure if you have never participated in a home business before. If you are looking for the first time or never made a real profit from a previous home business we suggest you only look at companies that have passed through the hoops that separate losers from winners.
Any business less than two years old is still in post dream building stage. One reason your friendly government over sight pays so little attention in the first two years is most companies don’t see their second birthday. Companies in the two to four year age group that are thriving suggest everything is in place for the long term and you still have flexibility and huge potential. Companies over four years old that are growing and thriving are the next best place to be trained in what works. Global NPN has been her 5+ years.

2. What does the company have to offer?
Whatever the company is selling or offering be sure it is something you already use, want or need. If it saves you money, time or both that’s even better. There are people who can promote something they could care less about. The rest of us however cannot fake sincerity.
There are products we think are always overpriced. Selling information is number one. With a little time spent at your favorite search engine you will likely discover it or its exact copy can be had for no cost somewhere online. All too often information is window dressing for an overpriced, worthless money game of one sort or another. The next ‘product’ not worth your time is anything that will likely cost less in the next two years or sooner. Everything related to communication and most technology ‘good deals’ are in this group. Something that sells for $100 today, that was $400 only last year will cost $20 next year, be free or be obsolete in two.
Reread number one. Companies with a good to great track record have products that people want and are willing to pay to have. Anything consumable, especially if it tastes good, has serious potential for extreme long term growth. If it’s unique and makes a difference right now give the company and its products a long, long look.

3. Cost of entry must fit your budget.
If you haven’t heard CASH is in short supply when you start any business. There will be dozens and potentially hundreds of things you ‘need’ to support your new business. Besides the cost of entry there are monthly costs and marketing can send you to the poor house unless you maintain a tight budget. If you have a current job, you may increase your take home pay because you have ‘new’ tax deductions you have been spending money on for years. Identify all, or at least as many as you can, of the monthly costs you will incur to operate your new business. Can you and are you willing to spend the money for the next six months or longer before you break even? The flow of life often has a ‘funny’ way of calling you on your commitments. Something will happen that tests your mettle. Those who stay the course, win.

4. Keep it simple, the fewer the steps the better.
Unless you really like to play store, or already have one, you do not want a program that has you do anything besides find new people. In today’s world a garage full of product is not only illegal but unnecessary. Production, packaging, shipping, billing are all done by the company for every legitimate home business program today. Personal use and samples should be the total of your monthly product requirements. Find another company if that is not the case.

5. How do you attract new customers with the company’s marketing plan?
The marketing system in use must be something you will use that fits you. Again review number one above. There are many ways to market products and opportunities. If you are unwilling to learn new ways, strategies or your only commitment is in using your skills not related to the company’s plan you may want to consider a different opportunity more in alignment with you. Another consideration is the additional cost some companies ask of you for their ‘marketing’ system. If you or they have a system you can easily plug into that allows potential customers to find you easily, the process is much simpler and profits occur quicker.

6. Compensation plans must be understandable and show you how to succeed.
Even if you are only paid an hourly wage you know what needs to happen and what you need to do to have your wages increase. In the beginning it is usually only a time function. The more time you work the more money you make but as your experience and productivity increase so does your hourly wage. Every company has a compensation plan. Many are tortured examples of the unexplainable. In general the best ones all work based on the longer you participate and the more people you find. A quick way to look at home business compensation plan is to ask how many people must be in your organization purchasing the average monthly product order to make $1000, $10,000 and $20,000.
How many people will you have to find to have one person ordering every month? Typically the more levels you get paid the less each person is worth. If you know how many people you need to produce the income you are after what you must do to find them will become clear. The other consideration is how many people does it take to break even? The more complicated and the more levels paid the more people it will take in the beginning to break even. If it takes over a 1000 to make a $1000 and you need 10 or more to cover your costs each month and most people only average two ever you may want to keep looking.
If you spend some time with a company’s compensation plan it will show you where and how to spend your time and energies. Find out how often the company has changed their plan and did it cause people to leave or make more money? The industry has come a long way in the last 60 years. There are compensation plans that really are a work of art, that produce a remarkable amount of income in record time and once you see their power you will never go back to a salary or hourly job again.

Summary

One of these six areas will push your hot button. If one positively hooks you remember the other six must rise to some level of acceptance too. Once that occurs, you may ignore or quit looking any further. Compare and ask what if. Sleep on it more than one night but once you know you have found the right one for you, jump in with both feet as soon as possible. Put your blinders on join NPN and stay on the path for six months minimum and for real value one year. If you could purchase a brand new McDonald’s you would not expect to break even for two to three years and not be in six figure monthly profit for five years. Do you have a couple million dollars to begin? There is a home business out there with your name on it that meets all six areas for you and will provide you with a McDonald’s income in the same five year time period if that is what you are looking for. Come and join me at Global NPN. Go on, I know you want to.

Winning Flags

In my last post I looked at six red flags. Six areas that when they
appear we suggest you at least raise a caution flag regarding your
participation. This post will take a quick look at winning flags or
when touched on suggest your look further at the opportunity.

Time is your most precious asset. You and everyone else gets the same
24 hours a day.  Global NPN was built in such a way that if you dedicate
a couple hours a day to find others who do the same you will leverage
your and their time.  Programs that only pay you one time on your
effort are old school and usually are only found at a job.  JP Getty said,
"I'd rather have 1% of the effort of 100 men than 100% of my own effort."
The more time you spend helping others the more people who will help you
get what you want.  I recommend you spend 95% of your time marketing,
building your list in as many ways as you can find.

Patience … gestation … NO ONE, NOT ONE TIME, has made a fortune overnight
at anything, ever.  You must be prepared to go at least six months without
being in profit.  Given how much you get at little cost at Global NPN I
recommend you give this one year before you even consider quitting.
Many people are in profit their first month and so can you.
Commit to having it happen even if it takes you twelve months. The gestation
period, the time it takes from when you plant the seed until the seed
breaks ground and then the time it takes for the plant to bear fruit is
obvious when you plant a garden the second time.  Give yourself time to
have your plans break even and then produce long everlasting fruit.

Spending money to make money is a common refrain.  Global NPN was designed
so you do not spend money on hosting, websites, program management,
autoresponders and other features everyone else offers as required ways
to spend money to make money.  Once you have set up your site and have some
number of people on your list, it is time to spend money, to prime the pump.

If you are unwilling to spend $20 per month for a membership in a moneymaking
program...QUIT, immediately! You are wasting your time! You must spend money,
to make money...Period!

Income streams and residual incomes for most people are nonexistent.
A job is NOT an income stream. It is at best a good pump that as long as
you ‘work’ it, the income you produce pays for some of your effort. Your
work is an income stream for your employer and all the governments you
pay taxes based on your ‘income’ but not for you.  If you find a ‘job’
that pays you for ‘work’ you did yesterday and last year I want to know
about it. In the beginning you will have to continue feeding Global NPN
with your daily efforts and at some point the income will become perpetual.

Your best efforts at adding leads will make the difference.  Learning the
various methods of adding leads to your NPN site will take time, patience
and eventually money.

"Red Flag" Marketing Techniques

Marketing is finding people who already want and are looking for what you have to offer.   The ‘sale’ is much easier if what you have is what they want.  There are a number of techniques used in marketing that we think should raise a red flag every time you come across one.  Be cautious when you are surfing and viewing sites.  The following techniques work and work especially well with those of us uneducated in the ploys of marketing.

There are six methods we find to be the most obnoxious and could be called our biggest pet peeves.  This email will only touch on the six now and in a later email I will develop each one in more detail.  Once you identify these six methods you will begin to see them used all over the internet and everywhere else for that matter. The more of the six used in one ad or web site the more likely the ‘product’ is a waste of your money and especially your time.

1.    Branding is more than the logo or the name.  It is over time a reputation earned.  Great reputations can be lost with one bad act or mistake.  Some ‘brands’ make it an art form walking the line between great material and a con job.  You have seen the “TOP SECRET” promotions by “Guru” names promoting ‘must have’ information that without it you will continue to fail. Somehow the pages of marketing copy never say what ‘it’ is.

2.    You have no doubt already met the friend of the hard sell. The fear of loss is an old technique now seen just after you take the bait and is most often used with programs you have no idea how it will work or perform. It is the One Time Offer or OTO that when you say no they have another one and often one more too good to be true after that and every time saying it will never be available again.  If you pay attention you will discover the OTO will reappear sooner or later with the same dire warnings. If what was being sold was really worth it you would never see it as an OTO.

3.    The one technique that makes the least amount of sense is ‘you don’t have to do anything’ to make money except fork over a paycheck or some portion every month and they will do the rest.  What do they need you for if there is so much money why don’t they just ignore you and take the opportunity for themselves?

4.    Guarantees have their place. You will begin to notice that the previous ‘do-nothing’ opportunity usually has a great guarantee.  Most of you know that the extended warranty is a money maker for the store and the salesman.   The longer the guarantee the less likely it is implemented.  Companies offer guarantees to secure your trust and when most are either forgotten or lost the vast majority did their job. They moved you to the cashier to spend your money.

5.    The “Rag to Riches” stories of down to their last tube of ketchup and in the shortest time possible they are a millionaire are laughable! The got rich quick guys we know all spent years of preparation before they got rich quick.  Just because it’s too good to be true does not make it false. It does raise a red flag.

6.    After seeing a fantastic movie your testimonial the next day to everyone you know sells some tickets.  They didn’t send you a commission either.  All too often, especially on web sites, you will see the same names and pictures supporting with their testimonial what a fabulous opportunity this is.  Tie this in with number one above and you will begin to notice a new trend in joint ventures where “Gurus” of all stripes promote and testify about each other’s great product.  Again this may not be wrong and if you have bought a book lately the jacket cover is full of testimonials by other authors of similar material.  Red Flag it and the more red flags a site has the less likely it could possibly live up to its copy banter.

There is nothing illegal about these six red flags and depending on the context they may only be a bright yellow caution flag instead.   In a later email I will share six flags we strive for. There are flags that like the checkered flag waved at the race winner or battle flags that are a sign of a group to be reckoned with and there are flags that we stand and salute.  There are at least six such flags in network marketing.

That's why I am with Global NPN. A global opportunity with a steady and safe company. Why not join me?

The Number One Tool for NPN Success

Today I found a great article from my friend Dennis Koray...Here goes:

I want to share with you what I believe is the number one
tool that you have in your arsenal to becoming a long term success
in Global NPN/network marketing.

But before I do that I'd like to ask you,
"What do YOU think your best and most effective tool is for
growing your MLM business?"

Is it your company's audio program, DVD or online video presentation?

Is it your company magazine, brochure or sizzle cards?

Could it be your company's or your team's replicated website
recruiting system?

Perhaps it's your team or company's online training system where
you can get your new distributors up to speed.

All of these are fantastic tools and there's probably a lot more
tools that I didn't mention and each one is important.

But if you're like most MLM companies...

...even with all these great tools to find, recruit, and train
distributors, I'll bet you still experience a very high attrition rate.

Why is that?

Why is it that even with the most advanced technology and even
the greatest programs aren't enough to keep people in the game?

I'll share with you my opinion and observations.

Usually the reason that people quit, is because they simply
don't have a good enough reason for continuing on.

You see, this business can get difficult at times and the normal,
everyday person isn't equipped to handle the ups and downs that
you experience in MLM.

But I'm a firm believer that most everyone can do just about
anything if they have a big enough reason for doing it.

Victor Frankl was a psychologist and also a jewish prisoner
in a German concentration camp during World War 2.
He watched many people give up and die and he also witnessed
many people stay the course and survive.
From his observations, he wrote a book titled,
"Man's Search for Meaning."

In it he concluded that the common thread for those people
who survived was that they had a powerful reason for staying alive.
He said, "He who has a 'why' can bear with almost any how."
By that statement he meant that if you have a reason for doing
something that is deeply motivating and inspiring, that there's
almost nothing that can stop you from doing that thing.

That's why I've found that the people that stay the course
and go the distance, no matter what obstacle is in their way,
are those people who have an extremely powerful reason for
doing the business.

So let me ask you, what is YOUR reason for doing this business?
Do you have a reason that is so motivating that no matter how
much ridicule or rejection you face, no matter what mistakes
your company makes, no matter what your upline or downline does,
no matter how many people quit on you, you still hang
tough and stick with it?

If you don't, I predict that eventually you'll quit this business or
you already have.

Let me share a little secret with you. There have been many
times where I've wanted to quit this business. Yes, it's true.
Even leaders in your company want to quit sometimes.

But every time my thoughts go there, I think of why I'm doing this
business. I think of my precious daughter and my little boy
and my amazing wife. I think of their security.

I won't go into details, but I have an illness that will require
a major surgery in the next few years. Every surgery is a risk.
 You just never know what can happen on the operating table.

If something happens to me, I want my family to be well taken
care of. That my reason. That's my "why."

So what I've done is I've taken a little 3x5 card, printed
a photo of my family on it and written what I call my
"Why Statement" on the card. I carry it with me everywhere I go.

When I feel depressed or down, I take out that card and
look at it and it reminds me why I'm doing this business
and why I need to make that next phone call or invite that
next person to view my company's presentation.

It gives me strength and helps me to rededicate myself.
So my "Why Card" has been the key to me staying in the game.

I suggest that you find out what it is that motivates you.
Do this. Write down 20 reasons why you're doing this business.
Narrow it down to the single most powerful reason and focus
on that. Make that your "Why Statement."

And once you have yours, immediately help your team members
to create their "why statement" so that they have the staying
power they need to be successful.

Help every new person that you bring into the business to create
their own "why statement" and "why card." It should be one of
the first things that you do.

This will become the most powerful tool in your entire MLM arsenal.

Blog Update - First for 2010

"Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success."
-Napoleon Hill

Good morning or Good Evening, Depending on where in the world you are.

Today I am going to talk about creating trust with your
list.

In order to establish credibility and trust with your prospects
you should focus on:


1.Following up with your prospects right away through email and
phone.

2. Broadcast regularly (send a email) - You may be thinking what do I say or do.

Talk about you and why you are in this industry. One of the easiest things to do believe it
or not is get your webcam (I've just bought one) and just talk about what you have achieved for the day.
Maybe you just figured out how to get leads, share that with your list.

You can even just do a simple 1 or 2 min video just to let your prospects know you
found something really special they need to check out. Sometimes you may read a
good blog post somewhere or someone else has video that you liked , send them
that information. Don't always think about how you are going to profit from it!

You should be thinking how are the members of your list going to benefit from that
knowledge. Believe me if you are the person that points them in the right direction
they will remember YOU.

3. Establishing credibility takes time, it is normal to have someone on your list for
months and than one day out of the blue they decide to buy something off of you or
join your business. People love to buy => they don't like being sold. People do love
to buy on their own terms.

4. Always respond back! - If you see a prospect trying to get in contact with you and
you have their phone # Call them! They are looking for you OR the first person that contacts them.

5. Start your own blog and whenever you write in your blog share that
link with your list via rss feed or broadcast. I recommend having lots
of pictures of you and your life on your blog. Write about whats on your
mind. A good way to monitize blogs besides affiliate links is through
ad networks, such as Adsense.

All of this might seem difficult at first but it does get
easier as time goes on.
