Tips for Network Marketing and MLM Success

Many people have bad view of the Network Marketing Business. Give yourself a chance. Network Marketing, according to Robert Kiyosaki, is The Perfect Business.

What are the Tips For Network Marketing and MLM Success?

Do your due diligence, choose your company wisely. Check the network's company rating with "The Better Business Bureau" and find out how long it had been operating and how much products has it sold within its years while in the industry.

Speak to the leaders and people in the lower ranks to get a feel of the business and if there are a lot of negativity then you got to think twice before joining. Please understand there is no perfect company and there are bound to be some negativity especially from those who are not getting good results and usually it is because they didn't really put in enough effort to build the business!

• You must choose a product that you are enthusiastic about. Understand the benefits of the product and use it so that you can truly endorse it for others to use. You got to be your own best customer.
  
• You must understand the compensation plan. Learn how much commission you can earn from your sales and what you need to do to receive your initial commissions.
  
• You must have good training and support. Most MLM companies provide good training and support . Be willing to invest in training and support materials to grow your business. Learn as much as possible and ask questions. Attend training as often as possible and ask the experienced leaders to share how they became successful! To be successful, copy what the successful leaders are doing!
  
• You must be teachable and willing to commit time, money and effort to learn from those who are successful. You must help the people you bring into the business to be successful because their success is your success. This is why this business model is so powerful it is based on win-win. There are many people who are willing to help you be successful.
  
• Look for good leaders who will support you, do not make your upline an issue, this is your business and if you cannot get the support from your sponsor, work further up with your leaders because there is always an active leader up the line who is willing to support you!.
  
• Help your organization to be successful. This business is about building lifetime friendship. The first 90 days is critical to your success, you must follow up closely on those who are new to the business and constantly give them training, support and encouragement.until they have achieved a certain level of success.
  
• You must duplicate yourself. MLM or network marketing is a business of duplication. Do the right things and your organization will grow, expand and prosper!
  
  This business is about working smart, leveraging and building a great team. A great team may take one to two years to build and that is why you must have the patience to give your business one to two years to grow. Don't have the get-rich-quick mentality that has gotten many people into money games that encourage you to invest substantial amount of money or even small amount of money with big promises of lots of money with little effort from you!
  
  You must waterproof your people from negative thoughts and sharkproof them from "sharks" who promise people the moon and leave them in the mud! That is why it is very important you ensure your people attend training as many times as possible.
  
• You must leverage on the Internet. More and more people are using the internet to promote their business. Learn to set up a simple website and how to capture leads with an autoresponder. Your leaders will help you to set up a simple system to capture leads.
  
• You must give yourself at least one year to see good results and again, this will depend a lot on your commitment of time, money and effort to make it happen. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the cause of it all?"
  
• Many businesses start with a capital ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 and takes two to three years to break even – to recover their initial capital - which means they haven't made a cent yet! In MLM or network marketing, you can start with about $500 and you can break even in one to two months and start making money in your third month!

Top leaders will usually work hard for three to five years to build a strong organization before they take things easy because you must keep the momentum and build the business to the extent where it will take a life of its own with strong leaders building the business whether you are there or not!

MLM or Network Marketing is a wonderful business based on universal laws and you must work with these universal laws such as The Law of Cause and Effect, The Law of Averages, The Law of Multiplication, The Law of Gratitude and The Law of Multiplication. These universal laws will always ensure your success.

If you are not happy where you are today and you want to work smart and leverage your time and effort to create a lifetime residual income, you must do yourself justice by taking a good look at the MLM or network marketing opportunity your friend is offering you.

Everything happens for a reason and there is a saying: "When a student is ready, a teacher will appear."

I leave with you a powerful quotation by Elbert Hubbard, an entrepreneur, philosopher and author, "Don’t sit in the meadow and expect the cow to back up and be milked, go after the cow!" Just do it! MLM or Network Marketing can certainly help you achieve your dreams!

The Luck Factor ...

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune.

I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research and, over the years, I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.

The results reveal that although these people have almost no insight into the causes of their luck, their thoughts and behavior are responsible for much of their good and bad fortune.

Take the case of seemingly chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not.

I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside.I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying: "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $250." This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high.

It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it. Unlucky people are generally tenser than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else.

They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.

Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles.They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

Towards the end of the work, I wondered whether these principles could be used to create good luck. I asked a group of volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like
a lucky person.

These exercises helped them spot chance opportunities, listen to their intuition, and expect to be lucky, and be more resilient to bad luck.

One month later, the volunteers returned and described what had happened.

The results were dramatic: 80% of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and, perhaps most important of all, luckier. The lucky people had become even luckier and the unlucky had become lucky.

Finally, I had found the elusive "luck factor".

Here are Professor Wise man's four top tips for becoming lucky:

• Listen to your gut instinct -they are normally right.
• Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine.
• Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.
• Visualize yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call.

Luck is very often a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Developing Your Talents To Yield Results

Achieving a high level of success is something many people aspire to do. Most people naturally have the desire to achieve a high level of success in all areas of their lives. Some of these areas include relationships, work, sports; etc. To achieve success in any of them however, a few key components such as discipline, hard work and persistence must be present.

When it comes to your career or how you choose to make your living, many people aren't exactly sure what road they want to take. Simply put, they don't know what they want to do with them selves. I approach this problem with one premise. Develop your talents and natural abilities.

Those that achieve high levels of success are usually doing what they are naturally good at or have "knack" for. Congruent to that, is the fact that these same people work extremely hard but their work is a "labor of love" so they don't even really view it as work. The work that they perform consists really of them developing and improving these talents to reach their maximum potential.

Take professional baseball players for example. For most of them, baseball either came fairly easy to them or they loved playing so much that they played consistently and eventually developed a great ability. Either way, a professional baseball player is an expert in his field and he loves what he does. I've never heard of a successful pro-ball player complain about his job.

I believe that every single person is either given some God-given talent or possesses certain traits or abilities that are unique to them that they can use to develop and improve talent. With that talent, they can then create a certain advantageous platform for them to expand upon.

The first step in this process is to take a minute and think about your hobbies. Think about the activities or events that you seem to participate in and the actions that you seem to perform the most frequently for sheer enjoyment purposes. Write them down on a piece of paper. After doing so, take a good look at each one and think about what it is exactly about each one that seems to bring forth enjoyment to you or why you find it entertaining.

Perhaps you love listening to music and deep down inside you have desire to create your own music so that you can provide that level of enjoyment to someone else just as someone has done for your or at least share it with them. Or maybe you are a sports fanatic and beneath it all, you admire that strategic planning among the opposing teams or the burning desire to achieve victory.

What ever your reasons for enjoying or being entertained by certain aspects of life, I'm sure that buried deep inside of you, are qualities and or abilities that relate to those aspects (which is why you identify or admire them so much) that you can harness and then develop to their maximum potential to position yourself to be successful. How you can market them is another process but before that, you must identify them.

Now even if you believe that these abilities do not exist within you, don't worry. You can develop them from nothing. That's right, you can develop them from nothing and the process is fairly simple. The fact that your even reading this article tells me that within you is the desire to improve some aspect of your life and to ultimately become a success. The key now is feed the desire with what you already have or what you can transform pretty easily.

People usually spend a lot of their time doing things they enjoy. When you spend a lot of time doing something, you tend to become better at it. So here's the key, if you can identify what it is about your hobbies that you enjoy so much and apply that component to something productive that can yield a result (like extra income for example)you can be on your way to achieving success. Talent develops similar to the way compound interests works with a savings plan. Each time you improve 1 element of talent you become more confident and that alone will multiply your abilities exponentially.

When you couple this process with modeling other successful people, the results can be tremendous. Before you can model others and strategically plan how you will market or sell your abilities, talents or services, you must first identify them. The exercise described above is a great start.

Why Some People Almost Always Make Money Online...

Sunday, August 5, 2007
From The Offices of Michalis "BIG Mike" Kotzakolios & Diego Hernando

Listen, we're not going to lie to you and tell you this is some big secret industry. You've seen it, you've participated in it, and we would bet our own houses that you know (or at least know OF) someone who has paid thousands of dollars into it - if you haven't done that yourself.

Until now, this opportunity has been "hidden in plain sight". In fact, you might even be driving past one of these million dollar businesses on your way to work every day.

And not in some big, unmarked building, either. These businesses have advertising & marketing all over them. You can't drive within a block of one of these places without seeing or hearing SOMETHING about the business.

These guys are everywhere!

Every year, they quietly rake in millions of dollars in revenue, and their customers thank them for the privilege. The average value of a customer at some of these places is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a large percentage of those customers are actively purchasing more and more over a period of three years - or even longer.

And what's even STRANGER about these businesses? Most customers actually FRAME their receipts, and hang them on the wall!

Okay, so at this point, either you know EXACTLY what we're talking about, or you think you've just found evidence that we are truly insane. In either case, good for you - you've just stumbled upon a big secret!

The Billion Dollar "Public Service"

So, for those of you who think we're insane, we have to tell you what it is we're talking about. After all, what business would have customers SO loyal, that they brag to their friends about it, and hang their receipts on the wall?

Well, let us tell you... Universities and Colleges.

The "Aha!" Moment

Now you see it! Every year, people spend thousands of dollars on education. And when they finally graduate, hundreds of thousands of dollars and several years later, they're proud to be customers. They brag to their friends, write it on their resumes, and hang their receipts (otherwise known as diplomas) on the wall.

But it hasn't always been easy to get into this game...

50 years ago, the only way to get a piece of the educational pie was to spend millions of dollars opening up a physical campus. Paying staff professors & instructors, building libraries, funding sports teams... It was a HUGE endeavor, requiring MILLIONS in capital.

But then, the industry changed...

All of a sudden, a few entrepreneurs had an idea - to create a fully accredited university or college, and deliver courses by MAIL.

It changed the educational landscape forever. All of a sudden, you could learn how to do almost anything - from becoming a locksmith to keeping the books - from the comfort of your kitchen table.

Now, this still required a fairly substantial amount of money to do - but not nearly as much as a physical university campus. Professors could work on contract, from their homes, grading papers that came in the mail. Course creators could write books and send them off to their students, instead of giving long lectures. Physical buildings were limited to a few phone staff, and the executives running the company.

Education became accessible to everyone.

By reducing the operating costs, these schools were able to reduce tuition - and almost anyone could finally afford to get a professional certification.

The big players in the industry quickly became multi-million dollar organizations. Their reach spanned the globe - from North America, to Europe, to Asia. Students around the world were getting their education at home - and paying for the privilege.

We've all seen the commercials - with the long scrolling list of every job you can get after studying the courses from these companies. How much money do you think they have to make to advertise on prime time television like that? Millions - easily.

But the landscape has changed again!

Universities were the first ones to utilize the internet... And now, they're using it to create multi-billion dollar businesses - online.

When online universities and colleges first started popping up, the big universities got scared - they started putting down any degree earned by an online university, and propagating the stories of online "diploma mills" to reduce the value of these certifications.

Still, companies like the University of Phoenix started creating complete programs, delivered via the internet - and they were starting to take over the educational scene.

Trust in these companies grew, and now a certification or diploma from many online universities means as much - if not more - than one from your local community college or technical school.

The cost to setup one of these operations became minimal, at best. Create course materials, install the script, pay for hosting, and get the word out. Accreditation and marketing became the biggest expenses. Some of these companies grew into the multi-billion dollar range within just a few years.

Big names started to catch on.

The universities panicked again, and started offering online courses (a little to late, but they are there...) Big companies like Microsoft started offering their own online certifications. Organizations like BrainBench offered employee certification to Fortune500 companies - and got millions for it. Even "The Donald" started his own online school. Ever heard of "Trump University"?

The barriers to entry were gone. Accreditation was no longer required by students - they just wanted to learn. All of a sudden, anyone could create "the ultimate info product" - and sell it for hundreds of dollars more than before.

But there was still one big problem...

The development. Not course material development, but the creation and management of course delivery. Many of these big places had entire teams of programmers, working long, hard, expensive hours to create course delivery systems.

Others chose free or inexpensive script packages, but ended up spending thousands more on customization and expansion - trying to keep up with the number of students, and the number of script bugs.

Education was still an expensive proposition.

How many of you could afford entire website development teams - even if you WANTED to hire them??

An info-product creators dream.

We saw this problem, and we set out to solve it. After all, home study courses are the ultimate info product - and, creating them should be within the reach of info product marketers!

It wasn't easy, though. It took months of development, and tens of thousands of dollars... First, we had to figure out what it was that you really needed. And THEN, we had to create it!

But finally, its finished - and its ready for you.

Introducing, EZ Lesson Manager!

This product was created with one goal in mind - to make course creation and delivery easier for people just like you!
