Because of this, I talk to people in many different MLMs available out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why am I telling you this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Because in this story lies a fact that might really help you with your own network marketing business!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;Talking with all of these representatives from all of these different companies is great for my own business and yours too, just keep reading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;Once you join an MLM opportunity, don't be one of those network marketers who "puts their blinders on."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I mean is that I see so many network marketers who think that they have the only MLM opportunity in the world. They're so busy telling everyone how great their comp plan is, how many people their upline has sponsored, how their opportunity/product(s) is "revolutionary" and "groundbreaking" and they  completely tune out the rest of the industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't even tell you how many times I've been approached in some way by one of these "eager beavers" and as soon as they find out that I'm already with a network marketing company, they lose my contact info.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A word to the wise...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;First of all, there are plenty of network marketers who are completely happy with their current company who may still be open, either now or in the future, to getting involved in another company to compliment what they're already building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember how I said I  get people from all different MLM companies contacting me about the &lt;a target="blank" href="http://www.realtimeleadspro.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;free leads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;? Well, I know that it is in my best interest, as well as the person I'm speaking with, to honestly listen to what they tell me about their company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I'm not &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;actively&lt;/span&gt; looking for an MLM opportunity right now. I'm extremely happy with the company I'm currently with and, as of right now, building that organization (as well as my &lt;a href="http://web-social-marketing.info/"&gt;"Web 2.0 Empire Blueprint"&lt;/a&gt; for my subscribers) is my primary focus. However, there are a couple of reasons why I ask other network marketers lots of questions and genuinely listen to what they have to say (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;and why YOU too should have your eyes and ears open to the MLM industry as a whole!&lt;/span&gt;):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is a very good idea to at least know something about a good number of other MLM opportunities out there so you are aware of what else is available to your potential prospects.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Those network marketers who you write off because they're "already taken" could have, at some point, become an &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;already experienced&lt;/span&gt; member of your downline had you taken the time to build some sort of relationship. Remember, sometimes people leave a company because they're not happy &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;OR&lt;/span&gt; some join more than 1 opportunity  if something very attractive is presented to them at the right time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't forget, you should also be &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;retailing your product&lt;/span&gt;, not just trying to recruit and nothing else. Sometimes your best business builder could be that person who joined later on because they were so impressed with the product and customer support &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;they got from you&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Network marketers are simply &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;great contacts&lt;/span&gt; to have in your Rolodex. Because:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;They know &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a lot&lt;/span&gt; of people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;learn&lt;/span&gt; from one another&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You never know where it might lead in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;future&lt;/span&gt; (you &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MUST&lt;/span&gt; always think long term too!)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;Don't you agree that it's wise to not only build relationships with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;people who WANT to start a business from home&lt;/span&gt; (and are free &amp;amp; clear to join your opportunity) AS WELL AS experienced network marketers? Even if they never join your business, they may send you referrals or become a customer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Plus, now you've got a friend who shares your interests!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you see now why it's important to keep an open mind and "take the pulse" of the network marketing MLM industry?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;So make sure you're asking A LOT of questions and, more importantly, LISTENING!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src="http://badged.net/badged.js?u=http%3a%2f%2fnetworkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com%2f;t=Network+Marketing+Journal;dg=y;sp=y;tf=y;tb=y;dl=y;fl=y;nt=y;ym=y;gb=y;nv=y;bl=y;rd=y;bm=y;mg=y;wl=y;tr=y;yo=y;ie=y;em=y;"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-8177018265906090199?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/i5-4GwUZ5z8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/i5-4GwUZ5z8/i-spy-with-my-little-eyesomething-that.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-spy-with-my-little-eyesomething-that.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-8814564791792753342</guid><pubDate>Sat, 01 Mar 2008 06:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-01T00:03:48.293-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">success in network marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">network marketing mlm</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">the problem with some upline leaders</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">training your downline</category><title>What Kind Of Upline Are You?</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;To add to &lt;a href="http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/02/beware-of-mlm-training-programs.html"&gt;my last post&lt;/a&gt;, I just want to do a short rant on a serious problem I see in the network marketing industry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:180%;" &gt;The problem is that people are constantly being recruited into the MLM industry, told they'll get all the "training" they need, and then left all alone to either sink or swim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I am &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;completely baffled&lt;/span&gt; by this behavior! I mean, in network marketing-now, stop me if I'm wrong here-&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;you're success&lt;/span&gt; is directly proportionate to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the success of your entire organization&lt;/span&gt; (aka "downline"-such a derogatory term, don't you think?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Is that correct or am I just completely misinterpreting the entire concept of network marketing MLM?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Now, with that being the case, it's awfully strange how:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;There is a HUGE market for network marketing MLM "training" programs, books, tapes, etc. Now, knowing me and the way I get my hands on everything and anything industry wide, do you know how many "webinars" I've been to that advertised "MLM training" in one form or another then turned out to be opportunity pitches in disguise? Why? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Because the smart marketers behind these "webinars" know the gravity of this huge problem of uplines not doing any kind of training and support!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;So many people I've encountered in my travels online are completely TURNED AGAINST network marketing MLM. This is an industry whose target market is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;people who have no experience building a business&lt;/span&gt;, online or off, and whose "product" is the opportunity to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;OWN YOUR OWN BUSINESS&lt;/span&gt;! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HELLO?&lt;/span&gt; These people join because they are told that they'll be taught how to make this work. In reality, they're on their own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Right now, I am working, on a daily basis, with a woman who has been with the same company as I am for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;over a year longer&lt;/span&gt; than I have! Why? Because her upline just kept telling her &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"it would soon be her turn"&lt;/span&gt; and promising to build her business for her, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;eventually&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Never even offering the option of the chance to learn how to build her business herself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;As I said in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"The Give And Take Of Internet Marketing,"&lt;/span&gt; I am always trying to learn more, hone my skills, etc. Now, when I started with the MLM company I'm with, I was strictly an affiliate marketer. When I was "recruited," I said that I was pretty up to speed on the technical stuff and the getting people to opt-in and what have you, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BUT&lt;/span&gt;, that I would definitely need some mentoring when it came to prospecting and closing and things like that.                                                                                                                                                &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;                                                                                                                                                             Of course, I was told that my "upline" would be there for me whenever I needed him. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What actually happened&lt;/span&gt; was that the person who I spoke to on the phone put me under someone else! Someone who couldn't really care less about building a real business, more or less a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"testing the waters"&lt;/span&gt; network marketer.                                                                                                                                                                                    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;That would've been fine, everyone has to start somewhere and I wouldn't have a problem with being under someone who was inexperienced, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BUT&lt;/span&gt;, in that case, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THEIR&lt;/span&gt; upline should be stepping up to the plate and training. I even received and email when I 1st started that said &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"you recruit them, we'll train them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;Most people would've quit,and I know a lot do-that's the point of this whole post...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I would've too if it wasn't for 2 things:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The company itself. I love the products and I had a really good feeling about the people in charge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;When push came to shove, and I could get nowhere with my upline, I decided to take a chance and go straight to the top. I actually contacted the CEO of my company and told him my dilemma. I showed him the &lt;a href="http://web-social-marketing.info/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Web 2.0 Empire"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  that I had built (and am still building) and explained that I am not about to give up on this company. It is a perfect match to the content that I write for my primary blog and website, &lt;a href="http://web-social-marketing.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"How To Build Your Web 2.0 Empire."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  I told him, without naming names, what had been going on. He replied to my email &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;within the hour&lt;/span&gt; with a video mail. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;He offered to have me come to his house&lt;/span&gt;, if possible (which, is difficult since I live in Pa and he lives in Las Vegas), or at least to provide mentorship over the phone. Do you know what that meant to me? Here's the facts, because of his generosity:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;I'll &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;never&lt;/span&gt; leave this company unless it closes for some reason (which I highly doubt) or they throw me out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Nothing, that selfish upline leaders within the company can do to tarnish things, can change the fact that the CEO is, by far, one of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the finest examples of leadership&lt;/span&gt; you'll ever find in the whole network marketing MLM &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;industry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;                                                                                                           &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;You Can Get His Book, "The Book On Network Marketing" Free Over There To Your Right&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;                                                                                                           &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally asked him permission to give it away because "I wanted my prospects to be able to read it and know how this business is really supposed to be and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;understand the values of the CEO, and my personal mentor&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Even though I was told that my upline had once said, in response to being questioned about why he refused to work with me despite my obvious enthusiasm, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"She's not a heavy-hitter, I only work with hitters."&lt;/span&gt; you can bet your life that I will make it my personal mission to build one hell of a success story through this company. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;With help from the very top, you can't go wrong!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Every single person&lt;/span&gt; who comes in under me is going to be &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;treated right&lt;/span&gt;. I wanted to share this story so that my readers more fully understand the reasons why I am &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;so passionate about training&lt;/span&gt; within the network marketing MLM industry. It's not because it's some marketing ploy to lure in people in the industry, it's because &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I know what it's like to be left there to fail miserably&lt;/span&gt; by my upline.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;I wrote this post and &lt;a href="http://web-social-marketing.info/wordpress/2008/03/01/the-give-and-take-of-internet-marketing/"&gt;"The Give And Take Of Internet Marketing"&lt;/a&gt; for my readers/subscribers. Since I've started the &lt;a href="http://web-social-marketing.com/newsletter.html"&gt;"Web 2.0 Blueprint"&lt;/a&gt; project, I have stated that I am actively taking in "students." Due to the overwhelming number of "false training" ploys I've seen out there, I just wanted to make it clear why I do what I do and the fact that I really don't want anything from those of you who seek help from me. So, there you go, &lt;a href="http://web-social-marketing.com/contact.html"&gt;call me if you need me&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://badged.net/badged.js?u=http%3a%2f%2fnetworkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com%2f;t=Network+Marketing+Journal;dg=y;sp=y;tf=y;tb=y;dl=y;fl=y;nt=y;ym=y;gb=y;nv=y;bl=y;rd=y;bm=y;mg=y;wl=y;tr=y;yo=y;ie=y;em=y;"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-8814564791792753342?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/sgyiuvI5x34" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/sgyiuvI5x34/what-kind-of-upline-are-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-kind-of-upline-are-you.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-2689912449569931997</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 19:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-15T13:09:50.409-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">FTC regulations for MLM</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">MLM scams</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">what to avoid when choosing a network marketing program</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">pyramid schemes</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fake training courses</category><title>Beware Of MLM "Training" Programs.</title><description>So, I just got off the phone with someone who called me about  yet another "groundbreaking opportunity." I feel bad because I gave her such a hard time, but not on purpose. You see, in addition to my primary business, I offer a  free leads generation system which  makes PPC and bought leads obsolete. Since it's generic, as in it can be used with any network marketing business, I get calls from people in all kinds of companies  and I always give them an opportunity to tell me about what they do so that I can help them more effectively with their leads generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, I get the occasional promoter of the infamous "gifting program." Experience has taught me that it's pointless to tell them how their program is illegal. They refuse to hear it. So, now I just politely excuse myself from the situation and explain to them that I can't help them. Some may say I'm crazy for passing up a retail sale but I really don't want a leads capture page similar to mine out there promoting an illegal scam. Sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to my phone call. So she tells me how her program has 2 levels either $5.50 or $100. For $5.50, you get a newsletter and the wonderful opportunity to promote this amazing program. I said, so it's like affiliate marketing only it's not free? She said, "no all of your sales go toward you getting promoted to the next level!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, so what if I come in at the $100 level? She says, "you get a back office and conference calls to explain the compensation plan." The back office includes promotional materials like banners and articles. Sound familiar affiliate marketers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh huh? I'm waiting for the rest. "So, what is the product?" I wonder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, the product is "training" such as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to advertise on Adland Pro&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to talk to your bought leads&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;And you get this awful looking website with a bunch of hard to read text on an almost black background. My 12 year old son could make a more professional looking site. I know I sound harsh but my God, they're charging $100 for the training that your upline is supposed to provide fro free. It's an outrage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to make sure I wasn't missing something, I dug deeper. I said, ok, here's what I teach my organization for free because I want them to succeed. That's what the whole point of network marketing is! I teach them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to generate free leads that are exclusive to them. They use the leads capture system that is provided when they come aboard.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to approach people on social networks, forums, etc. The new web (web 2.0) is here people. Get used to it. Either embrace it or be left behind.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to talk to their prospects (obviously)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I even show them how to build a website if they want to go beyond the 2 sites they are given.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;...So, what does your "product" offer beyond this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I felt bad because she was obviously new and she really couldn't tell me what the product was. She said, about the leads generation, "you mean like traffic exchanges?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not trying to be mean. I did not try to convince this woman that her program was bunk. She'll figure it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the FTC rules, a network marketing business is legal only if there is BOTH an income opportunity AND a retail product that can be purchased without being "recruited." If this is not the case, it's nothing more than an illegal pyramid scheme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I write this, I'm actually sitting here listening to the prerecorded call she sent me to. It is turning out to be exactly as I suspected, a pyramid scheme dressed up with terms like "forced matrix," "automated income," "leverage," and "spectacular income" (yes, that's a quote from the call).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real people don't want to hear about comp plans and forced matrix and a bunch of other crap yet people are getting sucked into this kind of thing all the time. It's absolutely maddening to me so I thought I'd write this article and hopefully save at least 1 person from this fate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://badged.net/badged.js?u=http%3a%2f%2fnetworkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com%2f;t=Network+Marketing+Journal;dg=y;sp=y;tf=y;tb=y;dl=y;fl=y;nt=y;ym=y;gb=y;nv=y;bl=y;rd=y;bm=y;mg=y;wl=y;tr=y;yo=y;ie=y;em=y;"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-2689912449569931997?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/thbffdcLDcs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><enclosure type="" url="http://www.realtimeleadspro.com" length="0" /><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/thbffdcLDcs/beware-of-mlm-training-programs.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>5</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/02/beware-of-mlm-training-programs.html</feedburner:origLink><enclosure url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~5/XhwgKcUv6zY/" length="0" /><feedburner:origEnclosureLink>http://attract-leads.com</feedburner:origEnclosureLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-4596759580595146673</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Feb 2008 12:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-03T04:32:54.892-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">free network marketing mlm leads</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">training within the network marketing industry</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">stop being the victim.</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">stop blaming</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Network Marketing 2.0</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">helping your new recruits</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">network marketing training</category><title>Take Responsibility For Your Network Marketing Business.</title><description>In order to be a leader in the network marketing industry, you must take personal responsibility very seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in training and empowerment within network marketing. But, in the end, it all comes back to YOU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A word that loves to pop up over and over again when it comes to taking responsibility is the word "they."We all love to blame everyone else when we aren't succeeding. "Well if only THEY would've trained me better." "Well, if only they would've given me more/ better leads to get started with." You know the drill. Well let me tell you something. If you want this bad enough, there is no "they," there is only YOU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how many of you have been properly trained out there. I know I wasn't. I had to go out and get myself trained in order to make my business work. Now, because that has happened to me and I didn't quit, I am very adamant about training my organization. But, with all of the horror stories I hear and with all of the people  I get coming to me for &lt;a href="http://www.realtimeleadspro.com"&gt;free network marketing leads&lt;/a&gt;, I am assuming that it's the norm to let your newbie network marketers just sink or swim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, let's just assume that you're on your own. You are responsible for, in any case:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Your personal beliefs and the way you see the world around you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The attitude that you portray.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The choices that you make.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The way that you behave.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The promises that you make and your commitment to following through with those promises.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The work that you do.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Your personal responsibilities.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;What is it that gets in your way? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blame&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Being the victim&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we focus on other people's part in a situation, we are releasing responsibility from ourselves. Blame is a complete waste of our time and energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as being the victem is concerned, instead of looking at the reasons we failed because of what another person did or didn't do, we should instead be looking at the factors that are within our control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of saying that you can't build your business because your sponsor didn't teach you this or that, go out there on the Internet and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;learn it&lt;/span&gt;! No one is responsible for your business but you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly believe, again, that it is a sponsor's duty to train their organization and help them to get started in building their business. After all, the success of a sponsor is directly linked with the success of his/ her downline. That's how network marketing works, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you believe in your company and it's products as I did and your sponsor just isn't willing to put in the time with you either:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Go out and get yourself some training.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Go out and find a better sponsor and company if it's that bad.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://badged.net/badged.js?u=http%3a%2f%2fnetworkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com%2f;t=Network+Marketing+Journal;dg=y;sp=y;tf=y;tb=y;dl=y;fl=y;nt=y;ym=y;gb=y;nv=y;bl=y;rd=y;bm=y;mg=y;wl=y;tr=y;yo=y;ie=y;em=y;"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-4596759580595146673?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/SvscCW9A-HE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/SvscCW9A-HE/take-responsibility-for-your-network.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/02/take-responsibility-for-your-network.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-6014778653093014295</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-22T23:46:20.569-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">free network marketing mlm leads</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">attract leads</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">leads generation</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">attraction marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">magnetic sponsoring</category><title>How To Generate Free Leads Using Attraction Marketing, Part 1</title><description>&lt;embed src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/1043429/how_to_generate_your_own_free_mlm_leads_part_1.swf" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="345" width="400"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.metacafe.co.il/watch/1043429/how_to_generate_your_own_free_mlm_leads_part_1/"&gt;How To Generate Your Own Free MLM Leads Part 1&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.metacafe.com/"&gt;The most amazing home videos are here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-6014778653093014295?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/bctjs2v3X9g" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/bctjs2v3X9g/how-to-generate-free-leads-using.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-generate-free-leads-using.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-4529280001119805750</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Jan 2008 11:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-19T03:57:40.504-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">video network marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">marketing newsletters</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">communication</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">vmail</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">video mail</category><title>Video Mail Says It Better</title><description>&lt;h1 class="headline"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In my research today (yes, I do some research each and every day---the Internet never stops changing) I found an article that suggests why video mail is so much better than text email and I  must agree whole heartedly. Not just because I am in &lt;a href="http://Video-Network-Marketing.com"&gt;video network marketing&lt;/a&gt; but because:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Text email is easily misunderstood because you can't convey emotion.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No body language can be observed through e mail&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can't look the person straight in the eye and speak with conviction and sincerity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's just too impersonal&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;When I send video mails to my new subscribers at my &lt;a href="http://www.LetsStartEarning.com"&gt;Affiliate Marketing Help&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.NewbieBusinessCenter.com"&gt;Affiliate Marketing For Newbies&lt;/a&gt; websites, they are completely blown away. Now, they are not people that I am prospecting for video network marketing either. It's just a personal welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I subscribe to a ton of newsletters and most of them are just sales pitches one after another. I have never seen anyone send vmails with personal welcomes in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like a true pioneer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1 class="headline"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0515/p13s01-stct.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It's all about me: Why e-mails are so easily misunderstood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;Check out this &lt;a href="http://www.vmdirect.com/root.custom/vmd/US/%20shereestudio/become_a_customer.html"&gt;affordable alternative to traditional email&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-4529280001119805750?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/ORPOOxeWFdE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/ORPOOxeWFdE/video-mail-says-it-better.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/video-mail-says-it-better.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-3009882932209126538</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2008 06:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-17T22:21:41.711-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">network marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">mlm-leads</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">get-free-leads</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">network-marketing-leads</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">free-leads-for-home-business</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">business-opportunity-leads</category><title>Free Surveyed Home Based Business Leads</title><description>Just a quick post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got an e mail from the guy who developed &lt;a href="http://www.RealTimeLeadsPro.com"&gt;my waterfall leads capture page&lt;/a&gt;, Jeremy Henderson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, understand that I don't really favor leads companies and I would NEVER pay for leads. But, this is a &lt;a href="http://www.freesurveyleads.com/?ref=2994"&gt;free leads offer&lt;/a&gt;. You get 25 surveyed home business leads a week who have been asked questions like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How much time do you have to invest in a business?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How much money do you want to make?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When can you start?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How much money do you have to invest in a home based business?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Have you ever run a home based business before?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why do you want this?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Plus whatever else these survey people ask.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The bottom line is that I would never teach any of you to rely on free leads or bought leads that you have not generated yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think it's too hard to generate your own leads without using PPC?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think again. This is just one of the 2 systems that I use and I generate more leads than I can keep up with---&lt;a href="http://Attract-Leads.com"&gt;MLM network marketing leads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have NEVER used PPC and I have never wanted for more leads. It's all about attracting leads not chasing leads. But, we'll have to save that for another day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, here are your &lt;a href="http://www.freesurveyleads.com/?ref=2994"&gt;free business opportunity leads&lt;/a&gt; that you can use if you hit a dry spell or something.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-3009882932209126538?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/Cr1jYcGc2F8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/Cr1jYcGc2F8/free-surveyed-home-based-business-leads.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/free-surveyed-home-based-business-leads.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-5372529588204349821</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-16T09:48:12.781-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Network Marketing 2.0</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">stop attrition within your network marketing company</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">the non marketer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">network marketing training</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">give freely</category><title>Give Freely And Reap The Rewards</title><description>I know that we're all here to make money but do you ever think about the long term being more important than the short term?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little bit of background information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a network marketer. That is my main business and how I make at least 75% of my current income. But I stated out as an affiliate marketer. Since then, my affiliate marketing sites have turned into 2 things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;1. Information sites with just a few scattered affiliate links to services that may be helpful to other marketers.&lt;br /&gt;2. Awesome leads generation systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; I first learned as an avid forum poster that by giving away my knowledge with no strings attached, I could actually make more contacts, referrals, and money in the end. By adopting this "non-profit" attitude toward my marketing efforts in some cases, I've actually made more than I would have otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you what it has brought me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now have 2 active students that are learning the ropes directly from me. While it does take some extra work to mentor a newbie, the rewards are fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My 1st student came to me through my subscriber list at &lt;a title="Affiliate Marketing Help" target="_blank" href="http://www.letsstartearning.com/"&gt;Affiliate Marketing Help&lt;/a&gt;. After I welcomed him with a video mail (that's a little extra thing I do that doesn't come with Aweber). I don't remember how he first found me or if I ever knew but he seems to think that I'm some kind of marketing genius because of my "breath of fresh air" tactics. He's not a newbie to entrepreneurship, he's actually a retired professor of Entrepreneurial Science. He and I are in the process of forming a business partnership not only with my &lt;a title="Video Network Marketing " target="_blank" href="http://video-network-marketing.com/"&gt;VM Direct&lt;/a&gt; business but he also wants me to be part of his business coaching programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you imagine a successful professional like this wanting to join forces with a 32 year old retired bartender?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My second student who I just got off the phone with a few minutes ago is a gentleman from the UK. He is a newbie affiliate marketer and wants my help to create and monetize a London travel site. He came to me for help from a work at home forum because he said he enjoyed my honest and thoughtful posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is, as we speak, setting up domain names, hosting accounts, and autoresponder services through my affiliate links. Why? Because I offered my time and advice with no strings attached. I've also been contacting him through video mail and have his interest in &lt;a title="Video Network Marketing " target="_blank" href="http://video-network-marketing.com/"&gt;video network marketing&lt;/a&gt; quite piqued. Sure, I could give him a hard sell but my philosophy is to let him decide on his own. That way, he'll be loyal and work hard to build the organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how my prospects stick around and really make a go of it. Less attrition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm nothing special. As I said, I'm a retired bartender and I'm only 32 years old. The reason for my success is my non-pushy sales techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could say I'm the "non-marketer."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheree Motiska&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-5372529588204349821?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/8ZEN6JtMQjE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/8ZEN6JtMQjE/give-freely-and-reap-rewards.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/give-freely-and-reap-rewards.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-2923118913566566612</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-16T03:53:03.682-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">forum marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">mlm blogs</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">blogging for network marketers</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">network marketing blogs</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">MLM forum</category><title>MLM Forum</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_q_BzMwMuOnk/R43wDaFEIQI/AAAAAAAAAB8/JbJ8YzIU19Y/s1600-h/MLMforum+loga.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_q_BzMwMuOnk/R43wDaFEIQI/AAAAAAAAAB8/JbJ8YzIU19Y/s320/MLMforum+loga.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156041089739923714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I found what looks to be a pretty cool MLM forum the other day and I wanted to share it with you all.

Take a look around but you should definitely get registered and start showing your expertise as well as asking questions and learning as much as you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, of mention is a thread that names a bunch of really good network marketing blogs. All you network marketers should at least be out there blogging even if you don't yet have your own content site. &lt;a href="http://homebasedbusinessforums.com/forum6/3163.html"&gt;Here you can find the best MLM blogs&lt;/a&gt; according to the MLM forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy posting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheree&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-2923118913566566612?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/SHttoIRgfM4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/SHttoIRgfM4/mlm-forum.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_q_BzMwMuOnk/R43wDaFEIQI/AAAAAAAAAB8/JbJ8YzIU19Y/s72-c/MLMforum+loga.bmp" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/mlm-forum.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-6329926338284347665</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2008 23:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-14T15:21:26.195-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Network Marketing 2.0</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal responsibility</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">take back your own life</category><title>Personal Responsobility.

As you recreate yourself&lt;br /&gt;into the type individual that commands&lt;br /&gt;abundance for you and thousands of others in&lt;br /&gt;every area of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure you probably can't fathom having&lt;br /&gt;thousands of people you influence to&lt;br /&gt;greatness along your path, but the truth is&lt;br /&gt;you will and as you look back you'll smile&lt;br /&gt;knowing you've made the world a little bit&lt;br /&gt;better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too many people focus on the negative things&lt;br /&gt;when it comes to starting a business that not&lt;br /&gt;only has the power to create great wealth for&lt;br /&gt;you, but gives you the vehicle to create&lt;br /&gt;great wealth and abundance in others as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say it's too hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say it's a scam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say you'll never succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can be lonely leading the field at times,&lt;br /&gt;but never loose sight of how important what&lt;br /&gt;you're achieving really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't let the dream steelers chip away at&lt;br /&gt;you. That's how they win. Silence them and&lt;br /&gt;charge ahead knowing you don't have all the&lt;br /&gt;answers and never will. Be fearless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I look back on my path of creating a&lt;br /&gt;large organization  in just the last two short&lt;br /&gt;years and earning a pretty penny last year&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to share a few trade secrets with&lt;br /&gt;you about exactly what it means to be Sheree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means more than just convincing people to&lt;br /&gt;join a business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means putting yourself on the line first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means taking more knocks than the average.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means being a constant student.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means being a constant teacher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means setting the example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means growth in all ways shapes and forms&lt;br /&gt;even when it's uncomfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means being bigger and better than you&lt;br /&gt;think you can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you look back down the path it won't be&lt;br /&gt;the dollar amounts that matter the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will matter the most is things like&lt;br /&gt;coming home from a long vacation and&lt;br /&gt;rummaging through a pile of mail to find a&lt;br /&gt;lone letter from someone you helped thanking&lt;br /&gt;you for just spending a little time with&lt;br /&gt;them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be the times when you're teammates&lt;br /&gt;have struggles and you're there to pick them&lt;br /&gt;up no matter what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are what it means to be Sheree. Take&lt;br /&gt;great pride and joy in this and charge ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use the stories of those that came before you&lt;br /&gt;to lift you in your darkest hours. You'll&lt;br /&gt;always find untold and new wisdom each time.&lt;br /&gt;If you're unsure of what to next, if you&lt;br /&gt;feel like the world is against you take this&lt;br /&gt;and let it guide you in your darkest hours:&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-6757549578586847503?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/Q3cpmyB_81Y" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/Q3cpmyB_81Y/cool-email-that-i-just-got.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/cool-email-that-i-just-got.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-5342243542238970629</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 12:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-02T04:27:25.385-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">web 2.0 Internet marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">web 2.0 email marketing</category><title>What is Web 2.0, Really?</title><description>Sure we can create a definition for Web 2.0 marketing. We can call it the social interaction on the Internet, we can list the various Web 2.0 type sites such as social networks, social bookmarking sites, wikis, lenses, hubs, forums, and video board sites like You Tube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;But what is Web 2.0 really?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have a great example that really gets down deep into the heart of what this Web 2.0 Internet marketing is really about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, I sent out individual video mails to my subscribers to wish them a Happy New Year. I didn't do it because I was pitching a product or an opportunity. I did it because that's who I am. I am building relationships with my readers and I want them to realize that I am a real person who cares about their needs (I am constantly asking them for feedback as well). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was working on this very large and time consuming yet very fulfilling task, I received a reply from one of my subscribers. He said something like "nice autoresponder, how did you get it to personalize like that?" See, we are so used to being responded to on the web without a real person ever getting involved, he couldn't believe I was actually sending out individual video mails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I responded back to him telling him that I am a real person and I I said his name over and over so he knew it wasn't an automated response. He emailed me back and was absolutely floored by this. He said he never heard of anyone personally contacting all of their clients like that. He then told me if I needed an affiliate, I have one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, my friends, is what Web 2.0 is really about. People connecting with people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember this is your network marketing efforts always and you'll do well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheree&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-5342243542238970629?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/NrsxwTYs2Pw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/NrsxwTYs2Pw/what-is-web-20-really.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-is-web-20-really.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-4128474881036903312</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-01T18:37:33.736-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">leads generation</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">leaads capture systems.</category><title>Building Leads vs. Buying Leads</title><description>Here is an article by 2 friends of mine who I met in a forum. They are dedicated home based business builders in the network marketing industry and are committed to helping others achieve their goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the article they wrote which won an award where it was submitted. Be sure to check out Wayne and Adrian's site at the end of the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building Leads VS Buying Leads&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pros and cons of building leads and buying leads are important for the internet marketer to understand. Leads are people who may be interested in a businesses products or services. Building Leads VS Buying Leads will help the marketer understand the importance of Lead Generation for an online business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building Leads&lt;br /&gt;Leads are one of the most important key factors toward success on the internet and learning how to build leads for an online business will be of great benefit. There are many different ways to generate leads, such as effective advertising, building capture pages, creating opt-in lists and offering free products or services are just some of the ways. Offering others the use of internet marketing tools is a good way to build trust between a marketer and their leads. It shows others that you really are interested in helping them become successful. Building a leads list does not cost anything but time. A marketer doesn’t have to spend a fortune when there are free tools out there to help anyone generate leads. Of course spending time on building a leads list will be well worth it because every single lead collected has already been personally verified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buying Leads&lt;br /&gt;Buying leads from the internet marketing world is another option for building a leads list, but be very careful. Most leads lists out there are repeatedly bought and sold online over and over again and can end up costing a pretty penny for marketing an online business. This is why most internet marketers prefer to learn how to generate their own leads rather than buying leads. Most of the time with purchased leads, the marketer will try to call the people on the leads list and they find that the leads don’t even want to talk to him/her because they’re probably the hundredth internet marketer who’s called them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether building leads or buying leads, it is very important for the internet marketer to really educate themselves about the advantages and disadvantages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Goal is to Assist and Educate Internet Marketers&lt;br /&gt;Contact Wayne and Adrienne Amable&lt;br /&gt;1-866-718-7173&lt;br /&gt;Email: wayneandadrienne@homebusinessalberta.com&lt;br /&gt;skype: w.amable&lt;br /&gt;skype: a.amable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://homebusinessalberta.com"&gt;http://homebusinessalberta.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://workfromhome.sitesell.com/awamable.html"&gt;http://workfromhome.sitesell.com/awamable.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-4128474881036903312?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/apMe2xg59FA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/apMe2xg59FA/building-leads-vs-buying-leads.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2008/01/building-leads-vs-buying-leads.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-7879348320540743607</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Dec 2007 06:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-28T22:22:30.986-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">technorati blog claim</category><title>Claiming My Blog, nothing to see here guys.</title><description>&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/claim/6jvxpvarry" rel="me"&gt;Technorati Profile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-7879348320540743607?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/E51SclO7x8U" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/E51SclO7x8U/claiming-my-blog-nothing-to-see-here.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/12/claiming-my-blog-nothing-to-see-here.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-8897414464866031353</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Dec 2007 06:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-24T22:41:53.651-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dealing with people</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">how to get what you want</category><title>How to Deal with People to Get What You Want</title><description>&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoBodyText"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;People communicate with each other in various ways for a lot of reasons. And one of these reasons is when you need something from someone. For people in business, this can either be in the form of products or services. You may want to sell a product while the other party must find your product useful for his intention. You may want to offer your services while the other party must be satisfied with the services you render according to his needs. In short, the way to get somebody or anybody to do what you want is to make them want to do it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;To get something you want through intimidation or violence is to invite trouble. Yes, it’s possible but not advisable to use forceful methods because the results are undesirable and at times disastrous. Imagine if you force an employee to take a leave of absence for having apparently violated a company rule. The relationship between management and the employee, or perhaps between management and union (if the employee is a member of it), is likely to be severed. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;To get what you want, give people what they want. Just what do people want? Physical health, family ties, financial security, spiritual growth, peace of mind, a successful career, and fame are the basic needs of people. There is one important yet intangible thing everybody wants and that is appreciation. Being appreciated and complimented makes a person feel important. When you feel important, you feel needed and wanted, and this gives you a whole lot of reason for existence. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Just how do you give somebody the feeling of importance? Say it, act it; just give it freely, honestly, and wholeheartedly. As literal as it is, saying how appreciative you are for a favor received, makes the other person feel important. You may not be able to describe exactly in words the feeling of importance when you’re in the shoes of the recipient. But definitely, what you can not describe is real and priceless.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Pre-empt importance. Give some sort of sign to the other person that what you want from him, will make him feel important. Let’s take charity for example. A recipient wants or needs contributions from the giver. It can either be material or service contribution, or both. Even before the act itself, the giver somehow expects appreciation from the recipient and this will give him a boost of importance. Appreciation may not necessarily be in words. A smile and/or a pat would suffice and they can come from both giver and recipient. The giver shows his feeling of being appreciated. The recipient shows his feeling of appreciation for the gift. Somehow magic or chemistry takes place. It’s a feeling both parties would enjoy happening many times over.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Are you aware that the feeling of importance, brought about by compliments and appreciation, is good for your health, mentally and physically? Whether you are the giver or recipient, it is good for both. There are medical findings that substantiate health effects brought about by positive emotions like compliments and appreciation. Frequent doses of the feeling of importance activate the brain cells and various harmonies in the body that promote good health. To put it plainly, the feeling of importance is the antioxidant of life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Can you think of a better way to nourish other people’s feelings than to show your concern and appreciation? Well, you can show something better than appreciation, and that is - a truckload of appreciation. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;You know what you and I and everybody else should be doing right now? We should go out there and show our feeling of appreciation to everything and everybody. Let’s go!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-8897414464866031353?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/JNIYY85fjrM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/JNIYY85fjrM/how-to-deal-with-people-to-get-what-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-deal-with-people-to-get-what-you.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-6532829091726369751</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Dec 2007 20:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-22T12:26:53.391-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Network Marketing 2.0</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">jonathan Budd</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">video marketing concepts</category><title>Jonathan Budd Interview</title><description>Last night I listened to an interview of Jonathan Budd done by Daegan Smith. Actually, I listened to it twice in a row even though it was after 1am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the interview was about was "Network Marketing 2.0 Predictions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some of the highlights from the interview:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Learning Process:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You should spend at least 6 months just learning as much as you can.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Look at other people's sites, blogs, squidoo lenses, etc. to get ideas.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Test, test, and test some more to see what's working.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;What is "Web 2.0?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Web 2.0 is the social networking/ video communities and the rising social interaction on the Internet.&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You Tube&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;My Space&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Facebook&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blogging&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Squidoo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;These type of sites allow the readers to interact with the site/ page designers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stats:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;My Space has about 215 million people. That's equal to the amount of people in the 6th largest population in the world.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You Tube gets close to 1 billion page views per month.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even those who aren't members of You Tube have been there. The reach is huge.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Video Marketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Video marketing is an awesome tool for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Branding&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Relationship building&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Videos show people who you really are. People will join your business because they like you and what you're about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;This is the key to "attraction marketing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;People Have A Desire For Connection!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Traditional marketing methods are receiving all time low results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big businesses are nameless, faceless, and have no real soul. There is no relationship building done by traditional marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are at a prime position right now where they want "something else."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Focus on the "little things" that people are looking for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Articles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Videos&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lenses&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Blogs, You Tube, My Space, and Squidoo can all be integrated with your site to make your search engine rankings happen naturally and quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a lot of people are taking advantage of this form of marketing as of yet. Smart marketers are going to be using these methods to round out 2007 and ring in 2008 with an explosion in their business building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I know I am, how about you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheree Motiska&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.LetsStartEarning.com"&gt;LetsStartEarning.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.NewbieBusinessCenter.com"&gt;NewbieBusinessCenter.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.RealTimeLeadsPro.com"&gt;RealTimeLeadsPro.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-6532829091726369751?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/oUB9soDFZ6I" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/oUB9soDFZ6I/jonathan-budd-interview.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/12/jonathan-budd-interview.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-1105142432754656385</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Dec 2007 20:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-09T12:54:49.948-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Social Network Marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">The secret to network marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">the home business opportunity of a lifetime</category><title>Network Marketing, Your Ticket To The Good Life?</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Network Marketing, Your Ticket To The Good Life?&lt;/h3&gt;You're here because someone introduced you to Network Marketing and now you're trying to figure out what to do, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, before we start, let me just tell you that you may have just  stumbled upon one of the most amazing chapters in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only reason I say "may have" is because it all depends on you and what you do with the gift you've just been given.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Do you realize that you are now in charge?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're now the president and CEO of your own company! Do you realize how powerful your position is right now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;And better yet, guess what your job is?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You probably think your job is sales or something to do with it, right? Nope, you're ice cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your job is to help other people become successful because the more success stories you create in your organization, the more successful you'll become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;This, my friends, is what Network Marketing is truly about.&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a chance right now to build a big business from the comfort of your own home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, don't make the mistake so many others make. Don't treat this like anything other than what it is, a serious business opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because you didn't pay $100,000 to get your business running does not mean that you should treat it with any less respect than you would a "brick and mortar" business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;If you're not yet involved in network marketing...&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps you've been thinking about it because you heard of a great opportunity froma friend or family member. Or maybe you've just heard about the incrdible fortunes that have been made by network marketers. Maybe you've heard that it will be fun. Maybe you're attracted to the opportunity to build a residula income that keeps paying you long after you've "retired."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Whatever the reason, you're in luck because now you can get some tips on choosing the right company for you and make an informed decision.&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, the product has to be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good network marketer always leads with the product, not the money making opportunity. There are opportunities all over the internet, it's a great product that makes something special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;So, if the product is junk, you're pretty much had.&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How are you supposed to get excited about a product and recommend it to others if you don't believe in it yourself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's how it works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about the last really great movie you saw. Remember how you told all of your friends and family how great it was and urged them to go see it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this is, in a nutshell, the way network marketing works. We've all been doing it our whole lives we just haven't been getting paid to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Get involved with a network marketing opportunity that is built around a product that you can actually use and enjoy yourself.&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can be "a product of the product," it can go pretty smooth for you. I'm not saying you won't have to do any work. I'm saying that you'll enjoy it so much more if you have a product that you can share from the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got into network marketing completely by accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was already doing my thing online as an affiliate marketer but in the direct sales business model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I saw the product I now promote, I immediately saw it as a tool for building my existing business as well as an entity of it's own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It had a use in Internet marketing as well as in everyday communications between friends and family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Maybe I was wrong, but I jumped right in, head first.&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is, if something really exciting comes along, don't wait for the "perfect timing" before you commit. The "perfect time" never comes, my friend. You might miss out on the greatest opportunity of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Just go for it! Take your life by the horns and make it what you want it to be.&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Network marketing is a possible vehicle to do all of those things you've always wanted to do in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's all up to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;What will you do with what's been handed to you?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Network Marketing Resources&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;h6&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.workathomeprofitzone.com/7584174" target="_blank"&gt;Dani Johnson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;This woman is my inspiration. She has over 30 hours of free audio training that will blow your doors off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This dynamic woman teaches the real "secrets" to building a successful business of your network marketing opportunity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What "Secret?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The secret is that this business is not about your product, your opportunity, your compensation plan, or the company you're affiliated with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This business is about people, that's it. That's the "secret" to network marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you can train yourself to think about other people's needs and commit yourself to helping your people achieve success, you will beyond a shadow of a doubt achieve all you've ever dreamed of and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.workathomeprofitzone.com/7584174" target="_blank"&gt;Dani Johnson&lt;/a&gt; can help you do this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go there right now and register as  a free member.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now commit yourself to listening to at least 1 hour of that free traing every day for 30 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not trying to be pushy. I promise you will thank me someday for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;h6&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.realtimeleadspro.com/" target="_blank"&gt;RealTimeLeadsPro.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;Learn how, instead of buying expensive oversold leads, you can generate an endless stream of free leads to your inbox every single day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are leads that are yours and yours exclusively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You won't have to worry that countless other marketers have already called and pitched their home business opportunity to these leads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And free leads are only the tip of the iceburg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll also learn:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to get to the top rankings in Google, Yahoo, and MSN in 48 hours or less for free.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to use only free advertising methods to effectively market your opportunity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to obtain your own lines of unsecured business credit (if you choose to) to maximize your business building potential. This option allows you to be "job optional" as well as giving you the resources to use any of the extra business building tools you want to speed up your success.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;You'll also get 200 free opportunity seeker leads when you provide the correct contact information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll show you a video marketing technology that will put you "ahead of the class" in this huge sea of Internet marketers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because remember, network marketing is about people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to &lt;a href="http://www.LetsStartEarning.com/contact.html"&gt;contact me&lt;/a&gt; directly if you have any questions or comments about anything on my blog or websites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-1105142432754656385?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/WsPa5SJ2zFQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/WsPa5SJ2zFQ/network-marketing-your-ticket-to-good.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/12/network-marketing-your-ticket-to-good.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-7443055840189499674</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Dec 2007 08:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-02T01:38:22.482-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">IAHBE</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Resources for home business entrepreneurs</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SFI</category><title>The IAHBE</title><description>What is the IAHBE?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it stands for the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs. What it does is provide you with a tremendous amount of resources for you, the home business entrepreneur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While there is no way that I can tell you everything about the IAHBE here on this blog post, but I want to give you some insider information about what you really get. I know because I have been a member for quite some time now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually found the &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt; through &lt;a href="http://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/Free"&gt;SFI&lt;/a&gt;. It's free to join as many of you are already aware, but I understand the principal "it takes money to make money" so I wanted to get my standing order set up right away before I even started recruiting for &lt;a href="http://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/Free"&gt;SFI&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, because when you create a standing order which automatically qualifies you each month as an Executive Affiliate, you're setting the example for everyone in your downline. If you're serious about making money, you'll do these kinds of things in the programs that you're going to promote from the heart. How can you ask someone in your downline to create their standing order (so that you can make even more money) if you haven't set the example yourself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to the &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt;. It was my standing order from almost the very start of my joining SFI. This means that every single month, I get a check from SFI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, that's great and all, but the &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt; membership in itself is awesome.Here are some of the things you get with your &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt; membership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok let's look at some of the topics at the &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Getting Started&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What's the ideal startup look like?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Everything's a scam&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take a permanent J-O-B vacation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marketing Tips&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Your words are your business&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Breaking a vicious search engine cycle&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why people won't buy from you again&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Finance your business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Forget what you THINK you know about loans&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Capitalization For Small Business Owners&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Credit Cards Aren't So Bad&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Personal Growth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use history to solve your issues today&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Save Yourself-Quit Your Job Now!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A step-by-step guide to finding your niche&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;These are some of the main topics you can click on this month. They come in the form of free Ebooks, articles, and audios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a list of some of the other tools you'll get as an IAHBE member&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;More than 150 reports and exclusive articles.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hours upon hours of free audio seminars.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Free windows and Mac software for your home business. Let me give you a few examples of what they offer here.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A free video and voice calling service.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A business form creation software.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business plan guide and template.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Free secure shopping cart software for your e commerce website.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A keyword research tool plus a subscription to a keyword secrets newsletter.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tax calculator (because there are great tax breaks when you work at home).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Software for your PC performance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Anti virus software.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adware removal.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Registry cleaner.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Firewall.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spyware removal.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;XP tweak.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hacker alarm.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;And a ton more. The ones I listed here were just the ones for PC, they also have software for MAC users.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Exclusive home based business book and tool reviews.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Marketing aids.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Subscriptions to top business magazines (i.e. Entrepreneur)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Free best selling books that cover every aspect of home based business.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Online resources directory.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blogs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Classifieds and Ezine ads&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Promotion and Marketing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Autoresponders&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business Newsletters&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business loans&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tutorials&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fraud/Scam help&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Essential downloads&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;E-mail clients&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lead generating&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Online networking&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Website design&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Free downloads&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Motivational thought of the day.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Free access to exclusive interviews and advice from entrepreneurs who are doing what you want to do.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;An intro pack with over $1000.00 worth of bonuses.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;12 Free issues of "home Business Connection" magazine.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;15 free leads from CEM's leads generation system.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And more.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;These are just some of the things that you get with your &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt; membership. It is well worth the price and it gives you automatic Executive Affilaite status with &lt;a href="http://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/Free"&gt;SFI&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt that your &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt; membership will also help you grow your &lt;a href="http://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/Free"&gt;SFI&lt;/a&gt; business as well as any other business you may be promoting. This service will empower you and explode your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The drawback?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;You can actually get lost on this site all day if you're not careful. It's hard to get through here and get all of the benefits of this membership. Some months when I'm really busy, I actually feel ripped off if I didn't get to access the &lt;a href="http://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been a member for quite a long time and I STILL haven't had a chance to access all of the benefits that I'm entitled. I get busy with my actual marketing and forget to even visit! Then I get my check from &lt;a href="http://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/Free"&gt;SFI&lt;/a&gt;, and it's all ok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, there you go. A look into the &lt;a href="https://www.moreinfo247.com/9754471/IAHBE"&gt;IAHBE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-7443055840189499674?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/U93dFpmOqYw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/U93dFpmOqYw/iahbe.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/12/iahbe.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-5022919073425091918</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Dec 2007 07:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-01T23:48:15.111-08:00</atom:updated><title>No Money, No List, No Experience Neccessary.</title><description>You’ve  been waiting for a long time and finally its here- an affiliate program  that will blow all the others out of the water!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The already popular  TheSecondTier affiliate training center has undergone a complete  information and visual makeover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an affiliate you’ll get more tools  and they’ll be more powerful than ever. This translates directly into  cha-ching!  Here are just a few things that make this affiliate program the most  effective affiliate program out there:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Huge commissions on both first  AND second tier sales!!!  • Product tools for all types of affiliates. &lt;br /&gt;• Full training center with access hours of video and audio training. &lt;br /&gt;• Live affiliate manager blog where you can get your affiliate  questions answered. &lt;br /&gt;• Weekly live training calls (every monday morning!!!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russell Brunson's unique philosophy that affiliates should be provided  not only with powerful tools but the knowledge to use them has pushed &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TheSecondTier to the top of competing programs. Russell has taken  affiliate training to a whole new level. He understands that he can  have hundreds of affiliates that don’t know what they are doing and get  decent sales OR he can give them the knowledge and tools they need to  create explosive amounts of money AND share with them a very generous  portion of the profits from each sale they generate! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are just a few of the things that you'll learn inside of  TheSecondTier: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• How to choose the right product for you to promote - One of the  biggest mistakes that almost all affiliates make when they first start  out, is that they try to promote too many things at once. This video  will show you exactly how to choose the right one or two products that  will make you the most money.&lt;br /&gt;• How to set up an "Affiliate Squeeze"  page - Less then 2% of all affiliates use this powerful technique, but  after you implement it into your affiliate promotions, you will see  your commissions grow exponentially.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• How to drive targeted traffic to your "Affiliate Squeeze" pages for  FREE - Once you learn this simple (and free) concept on how to drive  traffic to your "Affiliate Squeeze" pages, you will be able to start  literally writing your own paychecks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• How to build an huge targeted  opt-in mailing list - You will learn how easy it is to build an opt-in  list, and use that to exponentially increase your affiliate commissions  EVERY week! &lt;br /&gt;• How to strategically place "Affiliate Land Mines" and watch your  profits EXPLODE! - Follow this one simple strategy and you will start  getting checks in the mail every month! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• How to dominate your Pay Per Click ad campaigns - It's very powerful  if you learn how to do it right. This video will walk you through the  process to get high converting PPC ads!  • How to use teleseminars to close ten times the clients in 1/2 the  time - One of the secrets to selling a lot of products as an affiliate  quickly is doing teleseminars. I was nervous when I did my first few,  but now I can't stop because every time I do one, my affiliate checks  from that day are anywhere from $2,000 - $15,000 (and it's a lot easier  then you'd think). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• How to broker JV deals and make a fortune on your 2nd tier - Many of  our affiliates earn thousands of dollars each month from the efforts of  others. These videos will show you exactly how they find super  affiliates to add to their second tier. • How to protect your  commissions from thieves while increasing your conversions - One of the  number one concerns that affiliates have are people stealing their  commissions. You will learn the techniques that will protect your links  and also guarantee that even the worst thieves will gladly give you  their commissions instead of keeping it for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• and a whole  lot more.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russell does not discriminate against less experienced affiliates. In  fact, he’s already taken countless numbers of people from knowing 0 to  being listed among his top affiliates. It is so effective that some  people actually pay to sell products for him! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The products Russell puts out are of top quality and always in demand.  In fact, people call his office months before products are ready just  begging to know when they can get their hands on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combine this  with all the promotional and training tools Russell provides and you’re  already half way to making serious affiliate commissions. The other  half will be done when you take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime  opportunity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  target="_blank"  href="http://affilaitesheree.thesecondtier.com/thesecondtier"&gt; &lt;img  border="0"  src="http://www.thesecondtier.com/tools/banners/thesecondtier/secondtier-250x72.gif"  width="250" height="72"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resource Box:&lt;br /&gt; ----------------------------------------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;TheSecondTier is a free affiliate training center for those interested  in learning how to make money online as an affiliate marketer.

Not only that, but I manage 2 websites and 2 blogs other than my main business venture. I like to help people and I like to stay on the cutting edge of Internet technology so I'm always researching and trying out new ideas. Whatever really creates momentum, I pass on to my subscribers and readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this activity is no excuse for my lack of blogging. I'm always telling my subscribers to do it so I ought to practice what I preach. The real reason is that I hate to type. I always write my newsletters and courses out on paper before I type them and most are being redone in video format anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But despite the popularity of video on the Internet, there are still plenty of people who want to read a good old fashioned text blog. Plus, it's a good way to get yourself out there as a human being as opposed to a website. Somehow blogs are better able to translate the tone of an individual better than websites, I think. It's just a necessary part in the overall structure of a home based business entrepreneur's empire. The more you get out there, the more you'll be seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I've given blogging a thumbs up all around, I feel that I can be forgiven for my lack of blogging initiative.  I will try to do better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real reason I'm posting today is to tell a little network marketing story that warms the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I had the computer death, I had been in contact with some people before the crash who were interested in hearing more about the business. I disappeared for a little while because I had no computer to use (I was trying to fix things and finally got help) and was afraid that some of the prospects I had gotten might forget that they requested information by the time I got back with them. I couldn't call them because I had everything stored online in my prospect manager. It was a good thing they were there instead of somewhere else on my own computer because they were still there when I got my computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I sent out some videos mails just in time for Thanksgiving and was pleasantly surprised by the reactions I got.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sent vmail out to my subscribers from &lt;a href="http://www.letsstartearning.com"&gt;Lets Start Earning&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.newbiebusinesscenter.com"&gt;The Newbie Business Center&lt;/a&gt; to tell them I was back and would get right back to work on putting some parts of my &lt;a href="http://www.newbiebusinesscenter.com/newsletter.html"&gt;newsletter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.letsstartearning.com/webmasters.html"&gt;webmaster's course&lt;/a&gt; on video. I heard back from a few who thought it was very neat and "out of the box" to do it that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I sent video mail out to the people who requested info through &lt;a href="http://shereestudio.mynewvideobiz.com"&gt;my site&lt;/a&gt; and wished them a happy Thanksgiving and guess what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually got someone's attention to the point where he asked me on Thanksgiving if he could sign up in my business!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This just proves everything I keep telling my readers and subscribers about "self marketing" and building relationships. This &lt;a href="http://www.helloworld.com"&gt;video email, video blogging, podcasting, and live webcasting&lt;/a&gt; is such an amazing tool for Internet marketers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People obviously want interaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just be yourself and really focus on the individual people in your target market. Show your prospects that you really take an interest in them and you won't go wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's so easy to be average but if you really want to get noticed and build your business beyond your wildest dreams, try to think outside of the box. Be confident with your product and opportunity if you truly believe in them. If you don't, maybe you should look into something else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must be able to get excited about your business every day if you're going to build momentum in your organization. Instead of trying to sign up as many people as you can for the quick buck, try to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;sign them up&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;get them trained&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;get them excited&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;get them making money&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;If you do this, you'll keep them and they'll be an asset to your business. This is the way network marketing is supposed to work. This is how the big guys build massive fortunes. They go above and beyond and create loyalty within the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this blog post inspires you to get on the phone and call your newest recruit and see how they're doing and if they need anything. They'll remember that when they feel like giving up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-8207884422607163238?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/L-CYkP8XkrM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/L-CYkP8XkrM/thanksgiving-surprises.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/11/thanksgiving-surprises.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-3057140596343314566</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2007 00:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-23T17:33:42.007-07:00</atom:updated><title>Network Marketing Works When You Focus.</title><description>So, the Network Marketing journal continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I want to talk about how easy it is to lose focus when working with the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I found the perfect Network Marketing company, I already had 2 websites that I was optimizing for affiliate marketing. They are content sites and I am obsessed with creating new and unique content for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that an Internet Marketer, especially in the work from home niche, has to really work hard to stand out in this sea of opportunities that the Internet has become. I want people who read my content to know that I've done my homework and that I have something unique and useful to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As much as I understand that branding oneself is a slow and tedious process, I still drive myself crazy trying to make the perfect websites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, I have this great online communication product that I should be promoting because it is amazing. The best part is that no one can get it except through an affiliate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have this dynamic leads capture system and a powerful video presentation website and instead of promoting those, I'm trying to get people to my little known websites. of course, I've gotten some sign ups for my newsletter but I thought not enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what I did? I created a whole course for affiliates on how they can build their own site and brand themselves and pre-sell their affiliate products instead of promoting affiliate links directly. I believe in this method, it makes so much more sense. The problem was, I took more time away from my primary focus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my websites, &lt;a href="http://www.LetsStartearning.com"&gt;Succeed In Network Marketing&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.NewbieBusinessCenter.com"&gt;The Newbie Business Center&lt;/a&gt;, became  masterpieces (finally) and I was happy. So, on to the main event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got to placing ads (only free methods) and promoting my &lt;a href="http://RealTimeLeadsPro.com"&gt;Free Leads&lt;/a&gt; system and my &lt;a href="http://shereestudio.mynewvideobiz.com"&gt;Streaming Video Solutions&lt;/a&gt; components of my business and guess what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things start to happen immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd been going to my company's online video classes and our conference calls hearing exactly what I needed to do to make my business explode very quickly and there I sat redecorating my websites over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, I knew it would work because that's why I got in this business to begin with. I could see past my nose and realize a great opportunity staring me right in the face. I couldn't pass it up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a good thing my other websites were done before my team started thinking I was some kind of flake who couldn't or wouldn't follow instructions to duplicate success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moral of the story?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep Your eyes On The Prize Everyone. It is possible to succeed in Network Marketing if you are with the right company and have the right people behind you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best Network Marketing Companies provide:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Complete Training.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A Leads Generation System.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support from your upline.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support from the company itself.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;And of course, a great product that people want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take my word for it. I am a single mother and I never have to bartend again because of Network Marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone can do this if they are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Forward Thinking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Open Minded&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Motivated&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;With the right reason, you can make happen sooner than you would think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Network Marketing Mom and Newbie Advocate Sheree Motiska&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-3057140596343314566?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/J1wPWiIOO2Q" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/J1wPWiIOO2Q/network-marketing-works-when-you-focus.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/10/network-marketing-works-when-you-focus.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-5458637068337165949</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Oct 2007 07:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-23T00:51:16.580-07:00</atom:updated><title>Network Marketing Journal: Welcome To My Network Marketing Journal</title><description>&lt;a href="http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/10/welcome-to-my-network-marketing-journal.html#links"&gt;Network Marketing Journal: Welcome To My Network Marketing Journal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-5458637068337165949?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/bOJR81_7mFE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/bOJR81_7mFE/network-marketing-journal-welcome-to-my.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/10/network-marketing-journal-welcome-to-my.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-4174844455386310360</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-22T03:52:01.802-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">VM Direct Review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Social Network Marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Hello world</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">VM Direct Affiliate</category><title>VM Direct Review</title><description>I am a proud member of the VM Direct network marketing team and I would like to debunk the myths of "The VM Direct Scam."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most real business ventures, online or offline require an ivestment both of time and money. Just because VM direct has a membership fee for the awesome tools that they provide you to succeed, doesn't mean that they7're scamming you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about starting a brick and mortar business. You'd need:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Insurance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Inventory&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Employee Payroll&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Accounting&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Etcetera, etcetera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Yes, I know that there are a ton of free affiliate programs out there, but what do you get with those?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of banners and a downline who could care less because they have no investment in the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I believe in promoting a real business with a real product. You see, I don't have to just promote an online opportunity like everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get to promote a product that people everywhere can use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only that, but the commission is damn good through this company. Pretty soon everyone will be using Hello World. It's the only product of it's kind at the affordable price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big businesses are paying thousands of dollars to have the streaming video solutions that &lt;a href="http://www.helloworld.com/shereestudio"&gt;Hello World&lt;/a&gt; offers. Why not get it for a much better price?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My upline is the most supportive group of people I've ever met and the forward thinking leads that I come across have no problem understanding the value in this product and this opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to all of you who are saying that VM Direct looks like a scam, you don't know what you're missing. You really could be a part of something huge if you'd take the time to do a little research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheree, Proud VM Direct Affiliate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shereestudio.mynewvideobiz.com"&gt;Check Out The Business Presentation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://RealTimeLeadsPro.com"&gt;Free Leads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3872904743695230080-4174844455386310360?l=networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~4/06Iqy4DKT0A" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NetworkMarketingJournal/~3/06Iqy4DKT0A/vm-direct-review.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sheree Motiska)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://networkmarketingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/10/vm-direct-review.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872904743695230080.post-1091953294845977360</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2007 07:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-22T00:53:20.676-07:00</atom:updated><title>Welcome To My Network Marketing Journal</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Today I was speaking with a gentleman who is on my mailing list who is getting ready to join me in what I consider the best network marketing company on the planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked about a lot of things as he is very experienced in business himself. He is a very forward thinker and is able to understand the value of building a legitimate business as opposed to joining a bunch of freebie affiliate marketing programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I have been on both sides of the coin, I have decided to start this network marketing journal to show anyone who is serious about getting a good look inside affiliate marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started out with a "multiple streams of income" plan of action and had my website set up. That was back when I didn't understand the strategy of building your network marketing business. You see, the programs that I used to join had no product really. They were mainly just telling me to market an opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got quite a few sign ups from one of my programs and, like a good sponsor, I tried to contact them and help them get their business going. That's when I realized the problem with free sign ups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no commitment level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it,if you were to start a traditional brick and mortar business, how much do you think it would cost you? You'd have:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Insurance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Inventory&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Utilities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Employees&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Just to name a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is, it costs tons of money to start a business offline. So, why should one think that starting a business online with no investment is a good idea?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strategic marketing affiliates will invest in a company with a great product and since there is an investment involved, the affiliate and all of  the affiliates who join them will work so much harder to succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is, I'm a single mom who got tired of not making enough money to do the things I wanted to do. I also got very sick more than 2 years ago with bleeding ulcers. After my surgery, I really started to check into how affiliate marketing works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After some trial and error, I learned the truth about network marketing and found the best network marketing company I've seen so far. My team is very family oriented which is perfect for me and my son. I can take a break whenever I need to and the product is something that everyone can use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the secret to affiliate marketing. a product that anyone can use and that you can get excited about. If you believe in the product that you're promoting, are out to help other people with that product and your opportunity, and have the ambition to take your business seriously, then you're bound to succeed in Network Marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mission, besides building my network marketing business has been to assist newbies who want to learn how to succeed in Internet Marketing. It's a jungle out there and there are so many companies who prey on newbies by offering them what seems to be an easy way to make money. Let me tell you that there is no easy way. It takes some work on your part, but it's well worth it if you stick with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just read a report called &lt;a href="http://www.bendingtheweb.com/"&gt;"bend the web"&lt;/a&gt; that is going to change the way we market online. I can't wait until more people get onto the concept that we're all in this together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for today, thanks for stopping by and I wish you all success in your internet marketing journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheree, The Newbie Advocate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newbiebusinesscenter.com"&gt;www.NewbieBusinessCenter.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.LetsStartEarning.com"&gt;www.LetsStartEarning.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shereestudio.mynewvideobiz.com"&gt;Join The Digital Revolution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.NewbieBusinessCenter.com"&gt;Free Affiliate Marketer's Course&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.
