About Making Money Online

You have probably heard all of the stories about making money online. The news is filled with stories of those lucky folks who have become multi-millionaires with a few clicks of those mouse and still more stories about people using the internet to develop a sustained and viable business. Can it happen for you? If you’ve have been thinking about making money online, here are some tricks of the trade that can help you get started on your path to internet business glory.

When it comes to online businesses, there is a lot of bad information out there you have to sift through and a lot of potential for falling victim to a scam. Many websites advertise internet business opportunities that require a sizeable upfront investment from you, and these are generally to be avoided. Beware any online business opportunity that sets you up to spam people for pay or that requires you to make a website to try to get people to buy into a business scheme rather than buying a specific product. These internet set ups are just pyramid scams, and they’re not a reliable (or in some cases, legal) way to make money online.

One of the best ways to learn about making money online is to check out the advice of people who have done it. Do a little research and see how some online businesses you’re familiar with have set up their operations, or seek out some online business journals that have interviews with internet entrepreneurs. See what you can learn from them and from their mistakes. If you know anyone who does business online, see what advice they have to offer you. Since so many people have figured out this online business thing by trial and error at this point, you can learn from their stories what they learned the hard way and avoid some of the same bumps in the world.

Apart from understanding the technological aspects of doing business online and figuring out some unique logistics, like shipping to all of your customers instead of having a store if you’re selling a product, online advertising, and the ins and outs of online writing, some parts of online commerce are not so different from starting a business in the real world. You should settle on a business that interests you and that you have some specific skills to bring to the table. Instead of chasing the “next big thing” (these kinds of ideas go boom and then bust all the time on the net), look for a business idea that you will enjoy working on and that can bring you long term sustainability. Do research into your market, figure out your overhead costs and figure out who your competitors will be. These things will all give you the best chance at succeeding in the internet business world.

When it comes to learning about making money online, there are plenty of resources to help you figure out the best path for you. There is also tons of potential for turning your venture into a success if you do your homework. Get to know your online business neighborhood and start watching the money roll in.

Hype or Offering Value - How Should You Build Your Network Marketing Opportunity?

MLM is famous for over-promising and under-delivering.   One thing's for sure: there is a lot of hype in Network Marketing.

Unfortunately, all the hype out there creates false hope and expectations, which contribute to the negative image many people have of the network marketing and home based business industry.

If you are new to Network Marketing (or even if you've been in the industry for awhile), you may be tempted to contribute to all the hype out there. After all, if other people are doing it, it must work, right? It may work sometimes, usually in the short term, but something that will work far more effectively is adding true value to prospects.

People who attract customers and business partners with hype generally don't attract people who stay very long. On the other hand, Network Marketers who attract people by providing valuable information, no strings attached, are likely to attract higher quality prospects and customers. Higher quality prospects and customers will inevitably lead to a more successful business.

Here are a few tips to help you make sure you're adding value to the Network Marketing industry rather than flooding it with hype.

Put Yourself in Your Prospect's Shoes. If you were the prospect, what would you think about the presentation you are giving, the ad you are placing, or the forum post or article you are writing? Would it sound like a sales pitch to you? If so, go back to the drawing board. Find a way to present your information without giving a sales pitch. You'll be surprised at the results you get when people don't feel like your only motive is to get them to buy something from you!

Have Integrity. If you value your integrity, you will be adding value instead of hype. You will conduct business in an ethical and honest way. Always remember that no sale or new business partner is worth ruining your reputation. People appreciate honesty, and when you show you are a person of integrity, people will want to do business with you.

Teach Others. Many people enter the Network Marketing arena with no background in business or marketing. When they see what other people are doing, they naturally join in. They don't know any other way. When you teach others a better way--that they will be more successful in Network Marketing when they add value rather than hype, they will follow suit.

Network Marketing Recruiting - How Can I Get Better At Doing This?

When it comes to the process network marketing recruiting many people give up on the first, second or third try and just end up thinking is way too hard for them to do.

These people are your perfect example of quitters, those who just give up at something and make up excuses saying it was just too hard. Those people blame everyone else but themselves and is very obvious why they are not successful. 

Probably not just in network marketing either!

If you are one of these people then you better start dedicating yourself to get better by developing more skills.  You must not wish it was easier you have to develope more skills and get better.

The only way to get better at something is to keep on doing it until you begin to get it right. Remember it's not all about sales talent but there has to be experience as well. Those who give up too easily are those who never get over the top and succeed.

If you are serious about being successful then you must have the mental strength to endure the rough times that you will undergo. I can give you some basic concepts on the whole recruiting method but when it comes down to it what matters is if you decide to stick around even through the struggles.

When you decide to recruit someone the worst way to do it is by approaching them with your business opportunity upfront. They will not pay attention to you and they will feel that all you care about is to sell them. This was the old school way of doing things years ago and sadly to say there are many network marketers still trying to do it today.

Only, the best and most savy saleman can do it (2% to 5%) today!

But, there is a much better way for the newbie.  It's called a system and you need one to be successful in the new wave network marketing information age.  A system that can create leads automatically, filter through and find the quality prospects worth spending time with.  Plus, it must also pay you even if the majority of these lead don't join your primary MLM company.

Is that possible?  You bet, I use such a system today and so can you no matter what business your trying to build.

Check out how it works....

What Is An MLM Funded Proposal?

Funded Proposals are the holy-grail of marketing.

If you've been smart enough to gain access to the proven online 
Funded Streamline Sponsoring course and system, you're already familiar with this concept, and it has most likely changed the way you build your network marketing business.

If you haven't been introduced to funded proposals yet, then pay real close attention to this article post...

The Funded Proposal concept is the sole reason I went from failure in this industry to success virtually overnight, and it's what the biggest most successful network marketers in the industry have been using to build their legacy's for years.

It's what the entire Funded Streamline Sponsoring system is based upon. It's allowed thousands of MLM distributors from hundreds of different companies bridge the gap from going broke in their business, to making a profit.

Basically a funded proposal is the process of selling an inexpensive, but useful product on the front end such as the "
Funded Streamline Sponsoring" course, or "FREE Leads 4 Life - The 30 Day Step-By-Step Action Plan" to cover your advertising and marketing expenses. Then back-ending the real product or "opportunity, which would be your MLM/Network Marketing opportunity.

Really what it allows you to do is, dive into paid forms of marketing like pay-per-click, Ezine solo ads etc. and still advertise for free.

Now, if you were to try these (and others) different forms of paid advertising without using a funded proposal, we would spend quite a bit of money generating leads for our businesses at an average cost of probably $3.00 to $12.00 each.

We wouldn't be making a penny of that back until we acquire (sell) a customer or distributor into our primary business. Unless, of course you're one of the 3% that are really good at turning leads into distributors, you're going to go broke REALLY quickly.

So here's the rule to follow and give yourself a chance...

If you are building a network marketing business today in the information/Internet age, and you want to get into forms of paid advertising (which produce fast results), always use a funded proposal.
 
ALWAYS!

5 Benefits Of Network Marketing Funded Proposal

Using a funded proposal to build your primary MLM opportunity is the smartest thing anyone could do to insure success in this tough home based business industry.

There are many benefits to why the funded proposal makes real good sense, but I would like to share my five top reasons why everyone should be building a MLM business using this model.

Especially if your new to network marketing or haven't had any real success yet.

1. The high rate of sales that gets generated from an inexpensive information product funds your advertising and increases your business cash flow instantly. You can reduce your marketing expenses to ZERO (or in some cases make a profit) by retailing low cost information products on the front end to your leads. This really critical for survival when you consider that 95% to 97% of your leads you generate or buy will never join your primary MLM opportunity.

2. It's always going to be easier sponsoring an existing customer than trying to sponsor a complete stranger. You should never try selling your prospects on your networking opportunity the first time you have contact. You always sell them an inexpensive information product that offers value and helps them solve a problem.

3. You get to position yourself as an MLM expert instead of of some sleazy sale person like every other networker that doesn't know what they are doing. You start to offer value, build trust and gain respect with your prospects because you offer them more than just another opportunity. You offer a solution to their problems, a system to plug into, and your help.

4. Your prospects get pre-trained and educated on how to generate an endless supply of leads independantly so one day they can become a leader who just might be your future business partner. Instead of just trying to sell them on hype and false promisses which is extremely short sighted. So, why not sell them a retail product that will turn them into a better business owner and future leader right from the start?

5. Using a funded proposal gets your new reps into a positive cash flow situation immediately. Offering a low-priced, fast selling retail product first, funds theirs and yours advertising campaign which gets your new reps into making money as soon as possible. This creates momentum in your team and will decreases attrition or distributor fallout.

This is the smart way to recruit in network marketing in the information age. This is how the masters of this industry make it happen. Do you think they do home meetings or buy lead and make cold calls?

No.

They market information, which pays for their advertising, which serves as a never-ending source of free leads for their network marketing business!

You use a funded proposal online system, (like the 
Funded Streamline Sponsoringsystem itself), as a way to earn immediate profits, which means you can afford endless advertising, which means you can always generate endless leads, which means you can sponsor more reps.

It's like a perpetual online MLM marketing machine that just keeps feeding off of itself.

Our ads drive targeted traffic to our Funded Streamline Sponsoring course or FREE Leads 4 Life bonus for us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, completely hands-free...And it does the same thing for all Funded Streamline Sponsoring system users.

Retail profits from generic information products = Free Advertising = Endless Leads = Endless Home Business Growth!

I hope you too are starting to see the benefits now :-)

How To Talk To A Woman In Network Marketing (MLM)


“Closers Wanted", or "You Have To Close The Deal”, or my personal favorite "ABC - Always Be Closing"

Have you ever heard these clowns using their guerilla closer tactics tell you, “Bring everyone you can find into the meeting and I’ll close ‘em for ya”?

Maybe, your still in one of those companies where the biggest, beefiest super guerilla closer of them all is supposed to close all the dull-whitted prospects you manage to bring to a tele-call everyday?

You have probably also heard the super fat cat awesome closer gets the big box because he is so important that he deserves that reward the most.

Have you ever noticed it is the guerilla closer tactician that gets the lime light up on the stage? What with his power suit, power shirt, power tie, power watch, and yes even power under wear? Man, watch him strut! Can you tell how much he loves it? 

Those guys think they are so cool because closing is the most important thing on the planet, and only they know how to do it because they have cevelar skin, titanium bones, and liquid nitrogen blood. They just know they are “all that”.

What Is Missing Here?  Did you see one mention of the word “she” or “her”? 

No. 

Why do you suppose that is guys?

HINT: None of the gals are guessing.

Guys, until now I have stuck it to you, a lot like you stuck it to the girls you have “scored on”, to get your attention. 

In network marketing men seem to think that the faster and more often they can “score” .. oops … er, uh … I mean “close” the better.

Wake up fellas! 

If the girls you tried to "close" in the back seat of your dads car did not want that back then, what makes you think that things have changed just because the game is now MLM or Network Marketing? 

Grow up!

Network Marketing & MLM FACTS About Women:

1. Women make up 80% of all network marketers according to the Direct Sales Association. 
2. Women do not like to be pushed into anything.
3. Women hate to be closed.

Remember back on that first date guys? 

Admit it … you knew she did not want to be dragged into that back seat to be closed! Heads up … she still does not want that and she never will.   And she feels the same about you and your “close” in MLM.

I know you are probably thinking, “So what’s the big deal? What do they want?”

OK Bubbu, come here and let me draw you a picture.

No matter what was going on in your head, or what your vision of the future was, that girl knew she would have to carry your baby for 9 months, and then care for it and nurture it for at least another 18 years. And get very little....if any "support" from you the closing gun slinger who's just out for the thrill of the kill!

Meanwhile where is mister Romeo?  Dragging some other poor girl into the same “close”.

That girl knows that in today’s network marketing world it takes weeks, or even months just to build good relationships. They need to be sure your not going to just take off after you get what you really wanted, the "close". 

That takes trust, understanding and support!

Then it will probably take another 1 to 3 years for those relationships to pay off in the form of a long-term, residual income. And of course by this time that girl, who became a mother is now a grandmother so she may be needed to help with the next generation of new network marketing youngsters.

That girl … no … that woman knows all this takes is first trust, planning, and passion. That woman knows what most guys have yet to learn …

Here Is What Women Know...

It is NOT all about the “close” or the first sale. 

She hates being “closed” as much as she hated being treated and talked to as a “score”. 

She is NOT a thing to be “closed”, she is a person.  Building a long-term business customer base takes a lot of understanding people needs, patience in training, and nurturing.   Starting out with a long-term mind set is most important to success in MLM.

Huddle UP Guys!

So guys, do you really want to be the big stud in network marketing? 

OK, then here is the big play. 

Spend all your time talking about how the women you meet in MLM can build a powerful, long-term customer base. 

Oh, and you might also want to discuss how those same women can find a few good business partners to build strong for the next couple of generations. 

Heck, maybe by then, if you are still around, you might actually find that they want the same thing you do.

Are You Using A Sharp or Dull Axe In Your Network Marketing Business?

Imagine walking up to a man trying to chop down a tree in the forest. He's struggling with all his might and yet he's barely made any progress.

You look at him and you see that he is chopping at the tree vigorously and he's been at it for quite some time and he's intent on getting the tree to down.

He has a single focus and is using all the proper leverage and perfect technique, but as you get close you see there is one thing out of place.

He's using a dull blade.

You say to the man . . .

"Hey buddy why don't you just sharpen your blade, you'll get the job done twice as fast?"

He replies . . .

"No time, can't you see I'm trying to chop down this tree?"

Well, when I first started network marketing I was this guy out in the prospecting forest trying to chop down my tree of successfully building a downline.

I hacked at it. I tried all the techniques I was told were proper and I was intent on using them with all my might until my goal was reached.

Unfortunately, the guy in our example above had one advantage over me.

He had someone actually come up to him and point out his problem.

The sad truth is . . .

If someone had done this for me I probably would have given them the same response that our man with the axe above gave.

I would have said . . .

"Can't you see I'm trying to make cold calls and build a downline?  I don't have time for that!"

While in the act and exerting all our energy to a task we give very little time to reflection on what may truly help us be more successful. We think that if we just keep hacking away that sooner or later we will be successful in achieving our end.

While this may hold true . . .

Wouldn't a sharper blade make that struggle a whole lot easier?

I hear a question brewing . . .

"Paul, you say a blade, but what does this equate to in network marketing?"

HOW YOU MARKET YOUR BUSINESS...Silly!

All I'll say is this . . .

You can't consistently recruit 10 - 20 people in a month with personal contact or with the phone, but when you learn to leverage the awesome power of the internet using "funded proposals" to your advantage you end up with a mighty sharp MLM/network marketing blade that can!


Here's a super sharp axe I personally use to build my MLM with...

Quality MLM Prospects Through An MLM Funded Proposal

Finding quality MLM prospects is becoming increasingly expensive and then converting those prospects to sign-ups or sales even more difficult.  MLM prospects are often overly skeptical and hesitant to join a new company if they have been ripped off in the past, lost a lot of money, or simply failed to succeed.

 

The good news is that there is certainly no shortage of people looking for ways to earn extra money and start a home-based business through network or multilevel marketing.

 

The opportunity is unlimited. The prospects are there and those who are successful in this business find ways to decrease prospecting costs while at the same time increasing sales.

 

Introducing the MLM funded proposal.

 

The MLM funded proposal is probably by far one of the most effective tools in a network marketer’s arsenal of marketing strategies.

 

The funded proposal is simply a lead generation system that turns prospects into committed customers by first selling them an inexpensive product on the front end and then using that product to educate, build a working relationship with, and sell the customer on the bigger MLM opportunity.

 

In the MLM industry one of the most common front end products to use is an informational product or e-book. These types of products can be produced fairly inexpensively and once created make for pure profit when sold. By selling an informational product (funded proposal) on the front end marketer is able to have the prospects actually cover his or her marketing costs. So therefore essentially the funded proposal is a mechanism for generating extremely low cost or sometimes even profitable leads.

 

The MLM funded proposal can be a very powerful marketing strategy for targeting those who might already be involved with an MLM opportunity but are not having success or are not happy with the current company they're involved with.

 

For example you might produce an informational product that is tied to how to be more successful in network marketing or how to find targeted MLM leads. This is a popular topic among an MLM funded proposals because it is one of the most difficult problems facing MLM marketers. Thousands of people are online every day searching for something that is going to help them turn their business into the profitable cash machine they've always dreamed of.

 

Selling these prospects on how to be successful in their current network marketing business is much easier than selling them on the idea of quitting their current company and signing up with  a new MLM company. Therefore they are much more open to paying a low price for an informational product (MLM funded proposal) that promises to help them be more successful.

 

Once they have purchased your informational product you can start building a relationship with them , not only through the content of e-book, but also through e-mail auto-responder campaigns . Even prospects who have been unsuccessful in the MLM industry before are going to be much more open to following your lead or recommendations on another MLM opportunity after you have built that relationship and credibility.

 

The MLM funded proposal is your ticket to unlimited targeted MLM leads that have proven that they are willing to spend money on the right opportunity.

The "Smart" Way To Build MLM Business - Funded Proposals!

The biggest expense you’ll have in your business is lead generation. 

That's right your advertising and marketing costs will be much greater than the cost to join a network marketing company.

If you can erase this expense, you can stay in the game until your residuals kick in.

Believe it or not, you can even turn your lead generation pipeline into a PROFIT CENTER.

95% to 97% of the people you talk to are NOT going to join you in your MLM/Network Marketing company.  I didn't make that number up or suggest it as my opinion...IT'S JUST A FACT!

That’s just the way it is.

Hey, you just can’t afford to lose 95-97% of your prospects, can you?

Well, that fact is, the smart networkers make money whether their prospects join
them or not…

“How in the world?" You ask...

The fact is, your best “targeted” prospect for your business is someone that has already been in a home-based business...

Whether they’re in a business right now or have been in the past.

You don’t have to sell them on the industry, and they quite often already know other people that they can bring into a profitable venture.

What’s the last thing another MLMer wants to see?

An ad for another "Groundfloor" MLM deal, "Breakthrough" product or "Never Before Seen" compensation plan.

What’s almost every MLMer looking for?

A “how-to” system to make his or her opportunity work!

People Don’t Buy MLM. They Buy SOLUTIONS & SYSTEMS.

People aren’t looking for another deal…

They’re looking for a way to make the one they’re already in work!

So, what do you market instead of your network marketing company?

A Funded Proposal of course.  Even better would be to offer a funded proposal system like the very proven Funded Streamline Sponsoring online system to other MLM'ers.

Here's why... 

A funded proposal is the process of selling an inexpensive, but useful product on the front end to cover your advertising expenses, and then back-ending the real product or "opportunity", which is your MLM company.

Essentially, it allows you to dive into paid forms of effective advertising like pay-per-click, yet still advertise for free, or close to it.

If you're serious about building a successful network marketing business, and your frustrated and running out of money for leads/advertising, always use a funded proposal.
