The Virus You Want To Catch!

How does this Virus Spread? Well, let me explain. This virus is very sneaky, growing every so slowing it's hardly noticed and piggybacks on other hosts using their resources to increase in number. Given the perfect environment it will explode exponentially! Supporting its fast pace growth, is the mere fact that it doesn't have to mate, it simply replicates itself over, and over and over doubling in size with each continuous interaction. OK, don't get all BUGGED out! The virus I'm describing is Viral Marketing.

VIRAL MARKETING DEFINED

Viral marketing is an online term similar to offline terms such as "creating a buzz" or "word of mouth". Viral Marketing describes any strategy that encourages others to pass on a marketing message to others via the internet, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message's exposure and influence. Which is what every Online Marketer NEEDS and WANTS anyway but often has no clue how it CAN  and SHOULD be done. Read More....

Who are the Echo-Boomers-And Why Should Network Marketers Care?

The largest generation of young people since the '60s is beginning to come of age. They're called "echo boomers" because they're the genetic offspring and demographic echo of their parents, the baby boomers. Born between 1982 and 1995, there are nearly 80 million of them, and they're already having a huge impact on entire segments of the economy. And as the population ages, they will be become the next dominant generation of Americans. The oldest are barely out of college, and the youngest are still in grade school many already have blogs and websites.

Whether you call them "echo boomers," "Generation Y" or "millennial," they already make up nearly a third of the U.S. population, and already spend $170 billion a year of their own and their parents' money.
Echo boomers are a reflection of the sweeping changes in American life over the past 20 years. Eco-Boomers are the first to grow up with computers at home, are multi-taskers with cell phones, music downloads, and Instant Messaging on the Internet and many have their own website. They are totally plugged- in citizens of a worldwide community. It has been reported that they tend to be very overachieving, over-managed, and over protected.

Much different than their baby boomer parents they have been taught to be team players by the educational process more interested in building things and being part of a team and have low tolerance for delayed gratification. They value independence, like new challenges, expect bonuses and reward for their their efforts and want the opportunity to make an impact on the world.Worrying less about leadership than follower-ship," lovers on online communities, want to be able to build careers and family simultaneously they are likely to be a great fit for MLM, Direct Sales and Network Marketing.

Article Marketing Simplified

Article Marketing Why?
Because it Strategically Generates More Traffic Guys
Edited by Karen-J.
In my experience as article marketing is undeniable when it comes to utilizing what you have learned about MLM online.  The purpose is to help all MLM businesses make a presence for themselves online, and add more distributors/customers to your down line, correct? Well, what better way to do that, than in articles that YOU write to promote your products.  Your articles should absolutely be of value to the reader; informative and interesting.  The first marketing strategy you should implement is educating yourself about your target market.  Knowing this information gives any writer the ability to better capture their audience and create the results they are after.  Here are some three essential strategies I've learned from my mentors you can use in the form of articles for your marketing efforts.
1) Keyword research is an essential part of article marketing.  You can produce the most articulate and informative articles, but if your potential clientele cannot find them, they do you no good at all.  A keyword tracking tool is what you can use to make sure you are utilizing words that people use in search engine queries.  Keywords that can generate high traffic without great competition are most likely to bring you success.  Remember you must in some way be different from other similar type articles. Why? Because plagiarism can have very negative effects on your MLM online success.
2) Utilize back links.  I know, I know, your asking yourself what are back links.  As I mentioned in previous blogs, back links are basically hyperlinks (like the ones you see highlighted here) that you strategically place in your articles that draw potential clients to your website via an off-site location.  A link embedded in the text is used to encourage the eager readers of your article to see what you have to offer.  Simple right? This is an amazingly affective way to generate success with MLM online.  So, go ahead and try this method. Submit your articles to article directories and other similar online locations and you should see a greatly increased level of traffic.

3) When selecting keywords and setting up back-links, you must ensure three things:
  • use the keywords correctly to maximize your online MLM success. Simply select the words used in your title carefully, then spread them throughout your article. 
  • ensure that your articles are free from gramatical errors- Did you catch that? Lets try that again. 
  • ensure that your articles are free from grammatical errors. OK, that's better! Readers will likely follow your articles if what you say makes sense.
  • increase your article marketing strategic skills and by all means be different!

    OMG!!! Branding Yourself Why????

    Appeal to the Customer

    Why Branding Yourself is Important

    Edited by Karen-J

    There are numerous elements to internet marketing.  One of the most important is being able to brand yourself.  While some people may choose to make a purchase from you based solely on the product description, this is not enough to capture many people.  To experience MLM success, you must be willing to be different from your competition so your customers trust you.  Branding yourself within your particular business is one of the key elements of encouraging your customers to purchase from you based on a relationship of trust.  Sometimes entrepreneurs focus far too much on other marketing methods without taking the time to build a relationship with their prospective clientele.  There are many reasons why this is so important.

    First, consider who you make purchases from.  Whether you are discussing an online or offline venue, you buy from people you trust.  If visitors to your site who are considering making a purchase are not drawn to follow through, it is most likely because they do not like you.  Rather, they like someone else more than you and choose to take their business elsewhere.  Perhaps they feel like they know little to nothing about you so they still feel a lack of trust.  In this way, your vagueness keeps you from being different while if you were to brand yourself, your MLM success could skyrocket.

    The process of branding yourself begins quite simply.  In your initial contact with potential customers, introduce yourself as well as what you stand for.  State your accomplishments and what you can promise to anyone who will buy from you.  After your initial contact, keep in touch with these people and continue to brand yourself.  A phone call, letter or personal email to each individual can have an amazing effect in your MLM success.  Customers want to feel special, and this is how you can give them that feeling.

    Last, you should follow up after your personal communication.  Many people stop before they reach this step, but you can be different and draw your customers' attention.  This will keep them aware of you when they need to make a purchase again.  Also, never forget the power of word-of-mouth from satisfied customers.  By being very positive in the eyes of your customers, your MLM success will grow as they pass on the good word about you and how you brand yourself.  Pre-written emails and impersonal contact will never cut it if you are to be successful in MLM online.  To learn more today click:  www.mlmsuccesskarenjsway.com

    "Riches Is What You Have, Wealth Is Who You Are

    From Broke, Bankrupt and being a Welfare Recipient, this Blazing Network Marketer has turned her story into her glory!

    Read this amazing story about  about a women who was losing everything she ever owned through bankruptcy, repossession and multiple foreclosures along with a failing marriage. Aside from all of her tragedies she found out that a new addition to the family that would be knocking on their door in 8 short months. Fast Forward nearly 3 years, and you would never guess that a thriving, determined, savvy and driven business woman, who has graciously climbed up the charts in her Primary Business while breaking nearly every record in the #1 Attraction Marketing Company, could have ever faced such trials and survived!


    http://hubpages.com/hub/Who-Is-Nicole-S-Cooper-The-MailBox-Money-Queen

    WHY FINDING A JOB HAS BECOME A THING OF THE PAST


    NETWORK MARETING HAS SURFACED AS THE NEW ECONOMY!

    It doesn't take much to see that our economy is struggling, and those without jobs feel hopeless about ever getting their lives back. In the past 5 years, more stories of doom and gloom have been told than we'd prefer to imagine.


    However, what many people don't hear about is the rise of the "new economy" from an industry that will be merged with the technological and information age. It will also be one of the underlying pillars of turning things around in this recession because of the income it's generating to help boost consumer sales......That industry as you may have guessed it, is Network Marketing!

    You might be wondering how I can be so confident, but the reason why so many people have decided to partner up with the "home based business industry" is simply because there aren't many jobs out there.

    I was watching CNN yesterday where a lady that had 3 degrees shared how challenging it has been to get a job. It now appears that having degrees can be a negative rather than a positive due to companies offering only low paying wages to avoid sinking financially themselves!

    The term "over-qualified" is what most hear who are highly educated...and not to mention the degrading feeling of excepting an $8 an hour job when your student loans cost more per month than your monthly earnings! Talk about humiliating!

    If you are trying to find a job, or in need of generating some additional income, here's why network marketing is the way to go:

    1. Be Your Own Boss - There's nothing more exciting than being able to be in "control" of your life! If you've been forced to clock in and being told when you can eat lunch and when you can or can not take off to pick up your sick child from school, the desire to be in control of your life should be music to your ears.

    As a Network Marketing Business Ownerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8OEDz-WIUk, you set your own schedule and have the flexibility to spend a lot more time with your family.

    2. Can't Be Laid Off - In 2008, over 2.6 Million people were laid off and the unemployment rate is currently sitting at nearly 10%, which means at any given moment, 1 out of 10 people will be handed a pink slip to tell them "your future is now unstable"!!

    Now more than ever, the future is very uncertain, especially for those that rely on a job to pay their bills. Living pay check to pay check is a struggle and we know that most people are just one pay check away from being on the streets! It is imperative to have a back-up plan, or a "Plan B"! Without one, we live that great quote that says:

    "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail!"

    3. Unlimited Income - The beauty about being in the home based business industry is that what you earn is purely up to you! If you want to earn a few hundred dollars a month, you can do that with a network marketing business, but if you're a very big thinker and would love to earn in one month what it takes most people to earn in one year, then Network Marketing is the way to go!!

    The home based business industry creates more millionaires than any other industry that currently exists and you don't have anyone putting a cap on your monthly earnings. In this industry, we're able to leverage our income by combining the efforts of multiple people, instead of your earnings being totally up to you!
    Now's the time to equip yourself and set a plan in motion to change your financial future. If you wait for everything to fall apart before you position yourself financially, then you will be apart of the "world crisis statistics".

    However, if on the other hand, you desire to become apart of the "New Economy" and the "New Rich", then Network Marketing is the way to go! Yes, there is a strategic process of making this happen, but if you align yourself with the right partnership and with the right experienced leader, then you can get the treasure map to the inside secrets of earning a great deal of income within this industry!

    Choose to partner with a leader today, so that you can bask in the joy of being on the right side of money in this Secretly Flourishing Economy. Join the fastest growing Network Marketing County in the Health and Wellness buisness:  http://www.themillionairesecret.net/

    10 IMPORTANT NETWORK MARKETING TIPS

    Number one: Always schedule time to work the business. If you don’t work the business, it won’t work, it’s that simple. Block off the time you need. You won’t magically get more time during the day or night. Just take it. Make it a priority. Don’t waste time on the computer playing games or emailing your friends. There will be time for that later after the business is established and you’re seeing the money you want to see.


    Number two: Have a plan for when the business takes off financially. What are your plans for the money? If you don’t tell your money which direction to go, it’ll still go and you’ll wonder where it went. Always put some back into the business. This is so important in the startup stages. You have to invest some money to make a lot of money.

    Number three: Grow intellectually as you work your marketing business. Out of all of the network marketing tips you’ll learn, this one should be memorized. There is always more to learn about marketing and more to learn about how to use that knowledge for your company’s benefit.

    Number four: Don’t be impatient. When you’re planning your strategy, know ahead of time when you’ll see your profits take off and plan accordingly to stay afloat until that happens.

    Number five: Before you invest in any product, do your research first and find out if the parent company is at a standstill both financially and recruit-wise. If a company isn’t growing, it’s actively failing.

    Number six: How reachable is the company upline? You should be able to get help when you need it instead of being regulated to an automated system. If you’re someone’s upline, then you need to be reachable. Remember to put yourself in the shoes of your perspective downline. Did you once struggle financially before you became a marketer?

    Number seven: Make sure you follow up with every single lead – every single recruit. Follow up is ingredient that binds your team together.

    Number eight: Learn from the success of other’s who are also in the network marketing business. Pay attention to their network marketing tips and apply them in your own life.

    Number nine: Don’t jump ship without a life preserver. If you have another job, but you want the marketing to be your full time income, don’t quit what you have now until it provides for your financial needs.

    Number ten: Never, ever stop generating leads. It’s the growth of your company.



    How to Promote your Online Home Business Opportunity Using your Signature

    The most powerful ways to use your signature to promote your online home business opportunity are in the Author`s Resource Box or Bio Box as well as the Author`s Profile page when you write articles and submit them to the article directories and in your signature when posting in Forums.

    By setting up your signature correctly you can tell the reader a little about yourself as well as anchor your keywords and the url of your website, thereby creating back-links to your website. This is all part of optimizing your articles for the keywords you have selected. Ideally you should write articles based on the theme of your website and place your keywords in the title of the article, the body and in the resource box.
    By creating back-links to your website from the article directories via your published article will not only increase the placement of your article in the search engines but will help your website gain a higher placement too, especially if you are submitting to article directories with a high Google page rank. It is far easier to get your own article on the first page of Google than it is your website, if you choose and use your keywords correctly. So if your article is really interesting and informative and holds the readers` attention to the end, there is a great chance that they will click through to your website from the Author`s Resource Box to find out more about what you have to offer.

    Bear in mind that once you submit your article to an article directory, it in turn syndicates your article to other article directories and the back-links to your website are increasing all the time which will promote your online home business opportunity to a higher position in the search engine results.

    Forum Signature:

    In Forums you also have the opportunity to set up your signature, although the code is normally different to that of the article directories, but you can find instructions for setting up your signature under the FAQ (frequently asked questions) Section in the forum. The large forums are frequently crawled by the search engines so when you start a new topic or make a post in a forum your signature will be providing back-links and advertising your online home business opportunity automatically.

    The Benefits Of Fully Utilizing Your Signature:

    The article directories get crawled by the search engines often so by submitting articles on a regular basis will ensure that the search engine finds your back-link and in turn will crawl your website regularly too.

    If your website already appears on the first page of Google for certain keywords, and you write an article optimized with the same keywords, it will be no time at all before you will occupy at least two slots on the first page of Google.

    You can go one step further to achieve absolutely magical results. Instead of submitting the same article to a few directories, take that article and change the title and body of the article around a bit and optimize it for different keywords that your website receives high placement for and submit a different version of your article to different directories. Be sure to redo your signature with the new keywords. In other words you will be submitting more unique articles to the directories thereby supplying fresh content. You could then see different versions of your article from different article directories all appearing on page one of Google along with your website!

    Although the effects of article marketing take a while to kick-in before you start seeing the results of free organic traffic to your website, once you start submitting articles regularly and consistently you will be gaining valuable, free and targeted traffic to your online home business opportunity website.
    Articles spread far and wide very quickly on the internet and stay around for years, resulting in a very solid and rewarding method to promote your online home business opportunity

    An Autoresponder an absolute must for any Network Marketer

    I want to share with you how important having an autoresponder is for your Online Marketing Campaign. Having an autoresponder is an absolute must for anyone serious about generating money online.
    Here’s a few good reasons why.
    An Autoresponder is the beggining of your marketing funnel. This is where your prospect enters your channel. This is where you can engage them and even more importantly follow up with them. The average person does not respond to any sales offer until between 5 – 12 follow ups. Consistency is Key!. Build rapport and establish a relationship with your prospect. Offer Value and content thru your emails. Keep your emails short and sweet, preferably small paragraphs. Sending them in intervals of 2 – 3 days is enough for you to stay on the top of their minds. Any shorter then that and your content comes across as being spam. Any longer then 3 days in between messages they may forget who you are and consider it spam also.
    Their are 3 core activities you want to acomplish with your autoresponder
    Build your list:(prospects, clients customers)
    Build relationships with your list:(find out what your prospects needs are)
    Monetize your list:- find out what tools(affiliate or your own) can help them

    If your not using an autoresponder today, your not even considerd to be marketing online. Any prospects that come to your site, will glance and their on their way out. You have no way of retaining them and their up for grabs from your competitor. Lastly their are tons of autoresponders out their, my personal favorite and those that almost every top marketer uses is Aweber. by Caesar Quick,
