Tips For Internet Network Marketing Success

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

There are so many different network marketing or Multi Level Marketing companies operating on the Internet today. Sometimes it can be hard to know whether or not you are the company you are looking into is a reputable company or if they are someone trying to scam others. It becomes harder and harder with all the new companies being added virtually every day. Here are some tips to make sure you are not taken advantage of.

The first thing you need to look for is when you initially talk to an Internet marketer make sure you are talking to a person. The world of email and auto responders are great. They can assist you in so many ways when building a business in the Internet world, but never discount the value of human contact. Be sure that if you are not actually called by your potential mentor that you call them. Make sure they are really there, that it’s really the person they say they are. The way that someone carries themselves on the phone with you can determine so much about how much you are willing to trust that person as your potential mentor. If that potential mentor does everything to avoid human contact chances are they are not going to be a good mentor for you.

The second thing you need to look for is ensure you mentor, or the Network Marketing company they are with has an actual physical address. Is it a P.O. Box? If it is then why? Do they have an address for the corporate headquarters? After all you may pick a great mentor but the company you are with is the company sending you your check, you really want to make sure they are an actual company. Do a little of your own research. Are they a new company? Have they been in business for some time and have an established record? Now the Internet itself can be a great tool but often misleading. Check your information with the BBB(Better Business Bureau). Make sure they have testimonials from other distributors other than your potential mentor.

The last thing you will want to look for is do some research in the Internet community. If this network marketing company has been around for some time chances are they have done business with a lot of people and have a good or a bad reputation. No matter what any mentor tells you there is no product in the world no matter how good it is that sells itself. Make sure there is a sales plan set up through this company or even through your potential mentor that you can actually see potential results through. The best way to check those results out and is check the Internet community. Chances are there are some pretty dedicated customers or distributors out there on the Internet that are singing it’s praises.

Some of these tips may seem to be common sense, but sometimes potential business owners get so excited and about a new business venture and another source of potential income and simply forget some of the common sense things that we already know. Do your homework and make sure you find the right Network Marketing or Multi Level Marketing company for you.

10 Great Ways To Jumpstart Your Sales.

1. Find a strategic business partner.

Look for partner or mentor that has not only achieved success,
but achieved it in a manner you wish to achieve it yourself. For
example if someone created a residual income off of talking to
strangers and giving them a business card and that's not what
fits your personality and you can't see yourself doing that they
are probably not a good partner for you. Find what fits your
personality.


2. Brand your name and business. You can easily
do this by just writing articles and submitting them
to e-zines or web sites for republishing.

3. Remember to take a little time out of your day
or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually the
difference between success and failure.

4. Take risks to improve your business. Sometimes
businesses don't want to advertise unless it's free,
sometimes you have to spend money to get results.

5. Always market using a funded proposal. Offer a
front end sale and then later introduce your prospect
to your business. This "qualifies" the person for spending
your time with them. Time is valuable. If you get on the
phone with every person who comes to your website and
they are not of the same mindset as you, you are wasting
your time and their time.

6. Include emotional words in your advertisements.
Use ones like love, security, relief, freedom, happy,
satisfaction, fun, etc.

7. Have an auto responder (and your own capture page)
Systems will come and go but you shouldn't have to leave
your prospects when you leave a system. Without an
autoresponder you will die a fast death in Internet
marketing. The money IS in the list. It's essential.

8. Model other successful business or people. I'm
not saying out right copy them, but practice some
of the same habits that have made them succeed.

9. Ask people online to review your web site. You
can use the comments you get to improve your web
site or you may turn the reviewer into a customer.

10. Never stop learning. When it comes to Internet
marketing you must never think you have "mastered"
it. You must always continue to learn. Getting prospects
to your business is the only way to continue to prosper.



I will be expanding on these techniques in the next couple of weeks. Tip to help you out depending on your marketing level look at these items and see what you are doing and what you aren't doing. Then decide what you need to learn first. To give you a hint the first thing you need to start with is a funded proposal. It could be the most important thing on this list.

Huge Announcements At The Streamline Funnel System Millionaire's Summit

Paul Birdsall's Streamline Funnel System just concluded it's millionaire's summit in Las Vegas, NV Saturday September 26th with huge announcements. This meeting included Internet marketing gurus such as founder Paul Birdsall and many of the co-founders Chris Pearson, George Briere and Karl Airey. Many announcements at the summit included system upgrades and changes for it's users. Also announced the next stream of income included in the system. With the phase two already being launched in August of 2009, phase three has now been added and is making the Streamline Funnel System one of the most lucrative MLM Internet marketing systems available.

The new Phase 3 of the Streamline Funnel System now includes a new incentive pool being added. Starting this month it is going through a 90 day test phase and this pool will start at $10,000 for the month of October. This amount will go up monthly with the new members funneling in each and every day. The payout amount will be based on the number of members that the Streamline Funnel System user has either brought into the system through their own marketing efforts or through lead packs purchased or the links that are included with the system's membership subscription.

There will also be new system advances that are included in this phase 3 process but those will be rolling out slowly over the next few weeks. These upgrades including not only updated capture pages for users but multiple pages to pick from. There will also be the ability to have your own auto responder within the Streamline Funnel System as well. With effective “Web 2.0” marketing techniques being taught each week by leaders the auto responder tool will become more and more effective and helpful to it's users. Using “Web 3.0” technology as the software used for the system has been coined, these updates seem to make the Streamline Funnel System the perfect learning curve of any MLM Internet marketing system out there. The user now has the ability to learn cutting edge Internet marketing techniques but at the same time have their link going out and generating sales for them while they are learning, taking those sales and essentially plugging them into 3 streams of income just so far to date.

One more thing....I received an award while I saw in Vegas! Check It Out!!

Create An Auto-Pilot MLM Building System

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

Many Multi Level Marketing companies are now finally starting to realize the importance of having a system in place for their distributors to now build their businesses on the Internet. The possibilities seemed to become endless when MLMers realized the true possibilities that were available to them by using the Internet. Gone were the days of making a list and contacting every distant relative you had ever known. We fast forward now to the days where prospects can be generated virtually in any place your company is present. The lists that used to be made have not become auto responders. The friends and relatives have now become calls to prospects that have opted in to that auto responder that we cherish so much.

It has now become evident to many of these distributors that the importance of a MLM building system has become more and more needed. Business owners seem to be taking over the Internet, especially in many well known hot spots for them. The problem for the prospect is they may indeed be interested in having their own business and joining the Multi Level Marketing industry, but what do you have to offer them? Sure you have great products! Who doesn't? You have a great compensation plan! Most MLMs do. What do you have to offer that prospect that is going to set you aside from everyone else out there? Oh yes...the system!

Prospects need to see themselves doing what you are doing. If you are calling a prospect telling them anything and everything they have ever needed to know about your Mutli Level Marketing company they are thinking it sounds great, but I can't tell people all this stuff. This is where the MLM building system comes in. You must have something that is to some degree on auto pilot. You must be able to concentrate your efforts on teaching your prospect soon to be business builder the basics of Web 2.0 advertising and traffic generation while letting a system do the selling for you. Many Multi Level Marketing companies now see this and are making the switch. If your company hasn't and has you doing business presentations either find a system that is generic that you can use or build you own. There are so many things out there that building your own system is not that hard anymore.

You may be thinking to yourself but I do great giving my business presentation. You may be. You may be the top recruiter in your company and could sell anything to anyone. The problem is can your prospect? Can your down line? Can you success really be duplicated? If not you are bottom line never going to go anywhere. It really pains my heart when I see some poor soul advertising their company product web page. It's probably not their fault, they don't know that they either just wasted a whole lot of money or a whole lot of time. They can never get that prospect back again.

In closing think about the basic things that you need to be a successful Internet marketer in the Multi Level Marketing industry. You need the system, an auto responder, a web page or splash page as it is sometimes called and you need a presentation. Every single one of those things needs to be duplicated all the way through your organization. Wrap it all together and you have the MLM building system you need to really take some steps forward for your true success.

Will Systems Be The Death Of Your Business?

Let's face it there are a lot of great "systems" out there. Some of these systems are designed to "close and train" your members, some are designed to generate some extra advertising money.

My questions is are these systems going to be the death of your business? Are you relying on these systems to develop and train your prospects? Are you using the system in the way it's intended to be?

.......using it as intended? That's an interesting question......

I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not but every system...or system of value is designed to build a list. Your prospects visit a website, look at a compelling website that drives them to put in their information at the bottom of the page to go to the next page. More often than not the landing page is full of a lot of hype and excitement to drive your prospect to fill out that form!

Once your prospect is in the system they will start receiving emails from the auto-responder setup by the owner of the system. Normally, this series of letters is designed to promote the system your prospect came through with the intent to have your prospect upgrade to a paid member.


In essence, most of these systems are designed to sell something to your prospect, whether it's a product, service or membership.

But the first thing that happens is your visitor becomes a prospect by filling out the form.

So where am I going with this ... well, the problem as I see it is that many of these programs change or disappear or become obsolete. And that is where people stop, it's at this point they blame the system on their own failure to grow.

The truth is ... the system generated prospects for you and if this system goes or changes ... you still have prospects from the system that you can take with you.

Systems come and go, they are redesigned to capture a new market. Capture pages will always change but in the end they actually are the same. Systems are developed to build lists.

So instead of focusing so much on systems you need to focus on what is most important building your list.

Focus on what's important ... building your list. It's your list that will help you become successful in business ... without one, you are sure to fail. Focus your online advertising on a system that is building your list. If the system changes, simply edit what you are advertising and continue to build your list.

Whether you are using System A, System B or your own lead capture system ... keep your focus on the people you are connecting with not on the 'system' you are using. Systems come and systems go ... people are here to stay.

Get to know your people.

To Your Success,
Karen Pore

You Can Get Generate Targeted Website Traffic, Not Traffic Accident

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

You can generate targeted website traffic to your website pretty easily if you just dedicate a little time each day to it. It is the number one way to build your business. But how do you do get people to visit your website? How do you ensure that when someone Googles key words associated with the content reflected on your website, that it is your site that appears at the top of the search results? Simply put: you must promote your website through a number of methods and channels. And pick those channel appropriately so that you generate targeted website traffic. The people you really want to see it! Here are some of the most effective ways to bring traffic to your website:

One thing you can do is get listed with multiple search engines. Don’t stop at Google, as there as numerous search engines out there, including: AltaVista, Metacrawler, Ask, Yahoo, MSN and newly launched Bing. Make sure you are listed with at least three major search engines. Statistics show that nearly 50% of website traffic results from search engines. The three biggest search engines out there are: Google, MSN and Yahoo. Don’t stop there, though. Keep in mind search engines that are in your area of interest/expertise; in other words, do your research to find out which engines people use to find out about the product or service you’re promoting.

Create a blog. It’s so easy and it’s so loved by search engines. Once you’ve created a blog, don’t forget to update it as frequently as possible. If you can post something on it daily, then do so; at the minimum, make sure you consistently post on your blog once or twice a week. When you are posting thing of keywords that are related to your business or website and be sure you post a link at the end of your blog entry back to your website. By sticking with keywords that are relevant to what a prospect will be looking for to find you, this will generate targeted website traffic back to your site. Stale content is bad for search engines. Don’t forget to link your blog to your website.

Promotion through social networking. Maybe you don’t like Facebook because you honestly don’t care what somebody ate for breakfast. But don’t forget that social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and even basic emails are vital marketing tools. Combine this with business cards and face-to-face communication and you have a recipe for marketing success. Studies show at least 20% of website traffic results from word-of-mouth, so get connected and never stop promoting your business.

Banner advertising. Studies show that banner ads tend to be better remembered than other forms of advertising. You can pay to post your banner ads on other people’s sites, or why not look into banner trading? Seek out other companies that are not your direct competition and see if they would be willing to trade banners with you. You may be advertising for them, but they’re also advertising for you - and it’s all for free. Check it out.

These are only some of the ways to increase traffic to your website. The most important thing to keep in mind is to keep your content fresh, link to as many affiliate sites as possible and to promote - whether through social networking, face-to-face or emails. Think about the broad keywords out there that will drive the right traffic that you want. Drive traffic to website, not away from it.

Welcome to the superhighway, where rush hour is welcome - and traffic accidents are to be avoided.

The Right Steps For Starting An Online Home Business

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

If you have recently started an online business, you are probably starting to realize that the biggest obstacle to overcome is learning how to market correctly. The right marketing campaign will target your audience and draw traffic to your website. The wrong marketing campaign will wind up frustrating you and costing you a lot of hard-earned money. Starting an Online Home Business is not the hard part – it’s developing the right marketing campaign that can be a bit of a struggle.

When you think marketing for your online business, think traffic. Getting traffic to your website is the number one way to build your home-based business. But what you want is to not only drive initial traffic to your website, but to make sure you maintain a high rank with search engines so that your target audience will keep coming back. So, if you’re Starting an Online Home Business, pay close attention to the following advice:

Firstly, get your website listed with a number of search engines. You may want to list yourself with search databases that are in your area of expertise. For example, if you have a website that sells travel packages, do your research to find out which search engines are primarily used for travel. Google, MSN and Yahoo are the three most popular search engines, so your first step is to make sure you are listed with at least one of these engines, if not all of them.

Secondly, anyone who is Starting an Online Home Business needs to understand the importance of content-based Internet marketing. By getting articles and press releases written about your online business, you will increase your traffic flow by an average of 30%. If you’re not a writer, not to worry, as there are many affordable article-writing services out there. Articles and press releases establish your online presence better than any other form of paid advertising will.

Thirdly, either start an e-zine or submit articles to existing e-zines. Don’t forget to provide your website link and contact info at the end of the article. Really focus on all you can get out of e-zines: trading banner ads and classifieds, submitting articles to all available free e-zines out there and starting an online forum or message board linked to your e-zine of choice. If you’re Starting an Online Home Business, think e-zines and the multiple benefits you will get from using them.

Finally, anyone who is Starting an Online Home Business needs to immediately pool together all the available social networking mediums that are out there: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, MSN, email lists and blogs. You don’t have to use all the mediums out there, but make sure you’re using two or three (for example, Facebook and one or two blog sites). Social networking mediums such as these are free, simple to use and great ways to connect with people and market your product.

The world of home-based businesses is like any other entrepreneurial industry – it takes work, commitment and a willingness to never stop promoting. The reason so many people fail at their online business is because they don’t understand the fundamentals of developing an online marketing campaign that works. Don’t be left in the dust by your online competitors: develop the right marketing campaign when Starting an Online Home Business today!

MLM Website Building, This Could Make Or Break Your Business

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

You have seen thousands of business opportunity websites out there and guess what, they all look the same. If you are using a replicated website from your company I am sorry to tell you it's not going to get you very far. Not only are you potential prospects probably seeing a pretty generic website, they are seeing multiple times from many other people. Now we all know that a prospect does need to see your website quite a few times before they may act. But when you are using a replicated can you be sure they won't see your and then act on someone else's? Something to think about huh?

MLM website building believe it or not does not have to be complicated! I really does. Having your own auto responder is actually I would say ten times more important in mlm website building than the website itself. Why you might ask? After all you have to have an attractive website to get prospects to see it. Well that's true, but if you do the work or spend the money on the advertising to get them to your website and have no way to follow up with that prospect days, months even years later you just wasted that money or time to get them to your website.

Again as I said before prospects usually need to see the same things multiple times (the usual number is 10) before they ever even begin to act on anything. So what should you do? You may need to use a generic website if you business provides their business presentation within the website..you don't want to have to give a presentation yourself so they best way around that is build a general capture page. MLM website building can be extremely easy. There are a lot of programs out there with simple easy templates to use. You can write a few little tag lines, add a picture or video (videos perform a lot better) and just enough information to entice your prospect to fill out your auto responder for to either get to your presentation or replicated page. Depending on what your business or program you can decide where to end that prospect to after they have filled out the form.

I found the process a little intimidating about a year ago, but now I find myself throwing together websites of different areas I want to target in 10-15 min. There are so many programs out there.

Here is the easiest website builder I have found that I use a lot and find simple and easy.




So don't get intimidated by all this. MLM website building doesn't have to complicated or cost you thousands of dollars. Just follow it one step at a time and with practice it will become perfect.

How Can I Generate Qualified MLM Leads

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

If you are like many marketers out there you are probably wondering how in the world can I generate qualified mlm leads? After all we can all spend tons of money on leads, spending tons of time calling them and get a big fat no where! But don't worry, there are alternatives out there. The best way to great leads is to generate them yourself! Easier said than done you might say...well that's not really true anymore. So much of the mlm marketing world has begun to happen on the internet. That is such a great thing. MLMers are no longer limited to just people they personally know anymore. They are able to have basically able to have the world at their fingertips.

Now don't get ahead of yourself. There are strategies that you need to have in place to be able to generate a qualified mlm lead. You don't just want those people who go around searching the internet and opting in to every website they happen to see just to collect some information. I hate to break it to you but 70% of those people will never do ANYTHING..no matter how good you know your business is. The best way to generate a targeted prospect is using a funded proposal. I started using the funded proposal concept this year in my business and wow what a huge difference it has made. Not only are prospects calling me instead of me wasting time calling all those opt ins, but they are targeted qualified prospects.

The funded proposal basically works like this. Offer something of value for a small fee to your prospect..that something of value can vary from online marketing information, home based business guides..there are so many things. It really depends on what your business is. You want to use a funded proposal that suits the business you are in so that you are generating the right prospect. Now as I said you want to charge a small fee. Usually anywhere from $10-$50. Yes your opt in list may go down using a funded proposal instead of just a regular capture page..but wouldn't you rather have a more targeted prospect. You are more likely to have a great prospect to talk to or even calling you rather than that person that went around and opted in to every capture page that they saw. I sure would.

For some great examples of online marketing, network marketing or MLM funded proposals I have co-founded a system called OMS (Online Marketing Success), if you fall in to any of those three categories then the affiliate program I have put together will really help you with getting some targeted prospects. If you are new to marketing online it's also a great place to learn how to start. The system even comes with a free autoresponder. It's a great system for the internet newbie or the internet pro who just wants to broaden their funded proposal portfolio.

For more information on the OMS system you Can visit http://www.KarenPore.com

Does Auto-Pilot Recruiting Really Work?

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

A lot of people wonder if auto-pilot recruiting actually works or if it's a myth. I think for most networkers and people who haven't been around the Internet long it's almost impossible to believe that you can recruit people into your business on 100% Auto Pilot.


I still remember, when I use to HOUND people, chase them down, and struggle so badly to even talk to people about my business (never mind recruit them)...


I couldn't have imagined only a few years later I would recruit 100's people a month without talking to almost any of them.


Automatic Recruiting is not only POSSIBLE...I've found its also far 'easier' & more 'duplicatable'.
Now, that's not to say it doesn't take work, because of COURSE it does.


But it just takes a different kind of work.


Instead of chasing down prospects, harassing people in grocery store lines, buying useless leads to cold call... or any of that GARBAGE we are all taught by the 'old-timers' of this industry.


If you want to experience what its like to have 'Auto Pilot' recruiting happening in your business around the clock...you simply need to teach yourself a different set of skills then you're currently being taught.

For instance... the mechanics of auto pilot recruiting have to do with:


1. Creating a great lead capture page.
2. Driving good traffic to that lead capture page.
3. Setting up a 'effective' sales funnel (such as a funded proposal) that sells your business FOR YOU on autopilot & creates 'upfront' cash to pay for ongoing advertising.
4. Testing and refining your conversion processes.


Now, does all that take work?


Sure it does! It can take a bunch of work.


But does signing up 100's of new people each month without talking to any of them sound like something you'd like to experience? I'll bet you you would LOVE to trade places with me right now. :-)


Because at the end of the day... ANY AND ALL success will come down to the pure 'Energy and Effort' you put it.


Most people are being taught how to do it what I call the 'Old School' ways...


I'm now teaching people how to do it the 'New School' ways.


Where you put TECHNOLOGY at work for you...
You put INGENUITY at work for you...
You put CREATIVITY at work for you...
And you reap benefits, cash flow, and success 10x quicker than what most people ever will in this industry.


So, moral of the story is... Auto Pilot recruiting is no Myth.


Autopilot recruiting is as factual as it gets. You just have to decide which way you want to build the business.

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

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success


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.

Market Your Business Online Using Solo Ad Marketing

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success


There are many ways to market your business or program online. Most of the online marketing ideas that I go through in my blog are free or low cost. The subject I would like to cover today can be costly. But if you look around enough you can find some pretty reasonable rates for solo ad marketing.

If you are not aware of what a solo ad is, or ezine marketing is let me give you a brief explanation. Just like anyone out there is building a list there are many people out there who have built list of many network marketers or online marketers, some even of business opportunity seekers. These people will in a way "rent" their list to you. By renting their list they charge you a fee (depending on how large that list is) and you are able to send your email advertisement to their list of subscribers.

Solo ad marketing can be a very successful way to market your business online and at times can work very well to get very qualified subscribers to your list. You can target those ads or your web page that you send in that ad to appeal more towards prospects who either have already had a business or have some experience with online marketing. This can benefit your business because once they get started they have an idea of where to begin. You may have a system that is equally easy for a newbie marketer or an experienced marketer, but we all know it's much easier to start a new business partner that has a little bit of experience.

Here are some tips if you want to use solo ad marketing.

1) Always track your ad.

Use some type of link tracker for your link to easily see how successful that campaign was. It will make it much easier to see if your link was clicked, if so by how many, and you can go from there and see if you want to either change your ad and use the same ezine or safelist for that solo ad, or if you may need to go elsewhere to advertise your business or program.


2) Target Your Advertising

You need to know your audience in solo ad marketing. Are these network marketers, MLMs or possibly business opportunity seekers? Determine what the majority of your audience will be so you can best target your ad.

3) Your headline

The headline can be the most important part of the entire solo ad! You need to get them to open the email. Spend a lot of time working on that headline.

4) Run Your Ad Multiple Times

We have all heard in advertising it takes your prospect seeing the exact same thing multiple times to act on it. So remember that. Also many ezine owners will offer discounts for you buying solo ads in bulk.

5) Don't Try To Sell Your Product In Your Ad

Do not try to "sell" in you solo ad marketing. You need to create enough int rest in your ad that someone would want to visit your website and let your system or your auto responder do the work for you. If you are selling out right most people would be turned away. There are NO products that sell themselves! No matter how much we believe in your business.

6) Don't Use All Caps In Your Headline

If you are using all capitals in your headline the reader may feel like you are yelling at them and most likely will not open your ad.

7) Include a "call to action"

At the end of your ezine solo ad explain exactly to the reader what you want them to do, let them know exactly where to go from that email or ad they have received.

8) Don't Be Cute Or Funny With Your Ad

You might put your readers in a good mood, but it will not convert to opt ins or sales.

9) Offer Something For Free

If you offer something for free when you are marketing your business online the reader is more likely to go and visit you site, or follow that call to action. You could offer a free ebook or maybe a free trail.

10) Subscribe To The Ezine

If you are sending a solo ad when you are marketing online if will help you tremendously to subscribe to that ezine to get an idea of what others may be marketing to people. Watch some of the other ads and make sure you do not sound like everyone else. You want to stand out and honestly you need to know your competition. Sometimes you may also be able to go in and look within the ezine at archived ads or articles and that can give you some ideas of ways to advertise your business online, or just as easily ways you do not want to!

Facebook Marketing 101

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success


If you are a network marketing or mlmer (Multi-Level-Marketer) you have probubly have learned the magic of online marketing. It has expanded the world you are able to find success in your network marketing business to an entirely different level. A place a lot of people have found a lob of success in is in the social networking world such as sites like Facebook and My Space. It's great to be able to do not just connect with old friends and family members, but to generate prospects also with some Facebook marketing.

Have you been in Facebook and gotten some of those messages or seen those posts? I am honestly blown away at the ways some of these people go about marketing on sites like this. They message everyone under the sun and try tell you that their business is the greatest, it's the best thing you will ever find..you have all seen them.

Do you think that method works for people? I don't know about you but it doesn't seem like that would be the right way to go. Yes, have faith in your primary business, abosolutly believe in it but facebook marketing isn't going to work for you if you are shoving information down someone's throat!

Now I am not saying lie about what you do, just be yourself. As with any other area in marketing you want to offer value to your prospect (or friends). If they are interested in your business they will let you know. All you will do is making people avoid you if you are shoving information down their throat. The key to Facebook marketing isn't what you would expect it to be. The key is to just be yourself. Believe that people will want to get to know you by just being yourself!

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

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success


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.


I hope that helps you!

5 Benefits Of Network Marketing/MLM Funded Proposal

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

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 independently 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 promises 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 Streamline Funnel System 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
:-)
If you don't have a funded proposal in mind already check out this today. I love all the information it has provided to me and the extra cash!

What is Real or Scam?

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

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 size able 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.
