Mannatech has been down over the past few years, but it’s far from out.  The company’s stock was recently named one of the top 100 ‘fastest growing’ small cap stocks. (NASDAQ:MTEX)

Leadership changes this past year have most likely helped, as well as the popularity of Osolean™, a new weight management supplement in the product lineup. The company also introduced the ESP (Economic Stimulus Plan) in February 2009 to assist distributors with recruitment efforts.

Update: June 22, 2009

One of the only ‘negatives’ remaining in this online mlm marketing system has been addressed. Both users of Get Response AND Aweber can now easily place their lead capture box code into the templates. So whether you are new marketer, and you want a choice of autoresponders, or if you already have an existing autoresponder account with one of these companies, you are all set.

The Online MLM Mastermind system was created by network marketing expert Jonathan Budd. Now, let me say that I am admittedly biased towards Jonathan, as he is in my direct sales company and a team leader. (so there’s my disclaimer!) But even if he wasn’t in my upline team, I would still endorse this system.

Internet Marketing Meets Network Marketing

He started out on the Internet himself, just a few short years ago, and knew absolutely zero about Internet Marketing. What he did know was that recruiting new distributors into his primary mlm business was extremely difficult. Cold calling, three way calls, warm market lists…he has told us that he tried it all. He is extremely successful now, and it’s a result of his determination to learn everything possible about internet marketing.

This is not an ebook, but rather an online marketing system designed for network marketers. If you are a sales representative for a company that has a pathetic web site, or maybe they don’t even allow you to recruit with a web site at all (yes, there are many of those still around)–this will eliminate plenty of frustration and wasted time.

The Online MLM Mastermind System was created from the perspective of a new marketer and what they would want and need. Most people in network marketing don’t have any idea how to create lead capture pages, write good sales copy, or put together a comprehensive marketing ‘funnel’ that can bring prospects into their business.  This system, which includes lead capture pages, tracking, and list building is a complete method for online network marketing. Also included are training videos on specific topics, like Twitter and pay per click marketing.

There are multiple capture pages to choose from and he’s even made it simple to integrate one of the two big autoresponder services (Get Response) right into your account. The whole premise of integrating the autoresponder is that he wants new marketers to begin building their own marketing list as soon as possible.

All I can say is, I wish this system was available last year. It would have seriously saved me some money and headaches.

A Complete, Turn-Key Marketing System for Networkers

In my opinion, it’s a valuable online system for network marketers. It’s generic, so you can use it for any company or opportunity. Is it for everyone? If you are apprehensive about technical things, such as how to set up and use an autoresponder, it may be intimidating.  Until you are more comfortable with some basic internet marketing, it might not be the best fit.

However, if you want to put your team on the Internet fast track, I highly recommend this program. You won’t need anything else.

UPDATE, January 2009:

Jonathan’s Online MLM Mastermind System has recently undergone some changes.

• You now have TEN capture pages

• Three custom capture pages

• Dynamic Keyword Insertion (very, very powerful)

• More video training and live webinar events

New MLM Companies

I have been getting a large number of emails lately regarding new MLM start up companies. While there are new network marketing companies opening every year, it seems to have picked up this year (2009).

This is most likely due to the down economy, which is actually INCREASING interest in the home based business industry. This is a good thing!

Mike Dillard will open MLM Traffic Formula 2.0 today. (MLM Traffic Formula 2.0)

If you are not familiar with Mike’s story, he struggled in multilevel marketing for several years, as many people do.  Once he created a specific strategy, based on leveraging the internet, he saw explosive growth and success within an 18-month period of time. He first revealed his methods in 2006, and compiled it all together into a course called MLM Traffic Formula. Since then he has earned millions of dollars in the network marketing industry and is now the second largest earner in his company.

Mike’s new updated MLM Traffic Formula will show the exact formula that he uses today, in 2009, to build a 7-figure MLM business from the comfort of home, using specific internet marketing skills and strategies.

To gjve you a preview,  watch this free 38 minute video.  He will show you:

• How he generates over 600 leads every single day for free
• How he adds dozens, sometimes of hundreds, of new distributors each month to his business team

Get all of the details here:

MLM Traffic Formula 2.0

Just today someone posted a comment to the blog, asking the following questions: (and I’ll paraphrase)

1.  How much can I expect my upline to help me?

2.  How much do I need to spend/invest in marketing each month?

Well both questions are difficult to answer — but here goes…

I made the mistake of expecting a lot of help from my upline when I was brand new to network marketing.  I started making more money when I
began relying on:  1) myself  AND 2) online marketing systems that help me leverage my time.

The Online MLM Mastermind System is an excellent tool, in my opinion. With it, you will learn to brand yourself (Attraction Marketing) and it will teach you the finer points of internet marketing skills, exactly as they apply to growing a network marketing business ONLINE.

My two recommendations for online mlm marketing systems:

As for what you need to invest into the marketing itself?  That depends on your situation.

If you have more time than money, you need to invest TIME on free and low cost marketing methods, such as video and blogging.  If you have more money than time, then you can invest MONEY into paid methods, such as pay per click advertising or direct mail.  If you have a little bit of time and a little bit of money, create a plan for doing a bit of  both, on a monthly basis. For example, you can carve out a couple of hours each day, so you spend 20 hours per week on video marketing, blogging and articles (very low cost and free methods)

Or, maybe you have almost NO free time at all.  Invest $100/ per week into pay per click marketing or ezine advertising.

It all depends on your situation, how fast you want to get things rolling AND your risk tolerance. Why risk tolerance?  Well, some things will work.  Some things will absolutely fail.  The important thing is that you never give up.  Continue to learn from your mistakes and missteps and move forward.

Whether you choose free marketing methods or paid marketing methods, don’t waste time getting started.  Time is precious and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

If you want to learn pay per click (ppc) marketing, here’s a course created specifically FOR online network marketers. If you want to focus in like a laser on PPC, check this out: (click below)

All Custom Content is a ghostwriting service that offers a variety of writing services for online businesses. They can do everything from articles, ebooks and press releases to blog posts and email messages. They also provide internet-based research services and transcription services. (be sure to ask)

How It All Works

Submit your request for articles with an email form. I always get a reply back within 24 hours, unless it’s a holiday. You will receive a basic quote and a questionnaire to complete.

Once you submit your completed questionnaire, they forward a final quote and an invoice for 50% of your project fees.
Then the writers get to work on your project and return it to you within the agreed upon time frame. (I usually request 5-7 days and this has worked just fine) If something needs to be changed, tweaked or rewritten, they are usually happy to oblige, as long as you are not taking the writing outside of the original scope of work.

How to get the best possible results

When working with a ghostwriter, it’s helpful to provide as much detail as possible in order to get the end result you’re looking for. The questionnaire that you must fill out helps ensure that content is created to your specifications. You can request American English or British English, to better fit your target market.

If you’ve ever worked with ghostwriters, you are aware of potential drawbacks to having content written for you. All Custom Content really seems to work to overcome these in the following ways:

They manage a team of qualified writers, whose first language is English. When you place an order with All Custom Content, you deal with a project manager who is in charge of ensuring your project is completed to your complete satisfaction.

• All of the work is professionally researched and proofed
• Work completed for you is confidential. They do not use any client work as samples.
• You pay the final amount when the work is completed
• They do edits and make sure the work is done to your satisfaction.

Want to order some content right away?

Go now to http://www.allcustomcontent.com. Tell them NetworkMarketingReview.NET (Cathy Yeatts) sent you to ensure the best service possible. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of content from this company and I highly recommend that you give them a try for your article marketing efforts.

Blogging, in my opinion, is a skill that every online network marketer must learn.  It’s inexpensive, fairly simple to do — and can be a great FREE tool for attracting fresh, interested prospects into your business funnel.

If you are a brand new blogger, I suggest that you head over to Wordpress.com or Blogger.com, where you will find that it’s quite easy to put up your first couple of pages.  Check out some of these listed below for some inspiration.

Here’s a really great one that I just found today:

• Funnel Marketing

My favorite one for internet network marketing training, advice and motivation:

• Sponsoring Success

Some Renegade Professional members:

• http://michellemoseley.wordpress.com/

• http://jasoncardamone.com/

And some miscellaneous mlm blogs:

• Network Marketing Health Products – Josh Boxer here with some information on do’s and don’ts of network marketing health products. There are two schools of thought when it comes to making your products stand out in the world of information bombardment. …

• Network Marketing Health Products « Natural Colon Cleansing and … – Natural Colon Cleansing and Health Information. Natural Colon Cleansing and Health Information for Healthy Lifestyles.

• Health and Wellness « Network Marketing – Health and Wellness – Network Marketing – Health and Wellness. The Opportunity of a Lifetime. Health and Wellness. Do you know what the top three leading causes of death are in America?

• An Open Letter To The Anti-Network Marketing Media… – Network marketing, MLM, direct sales, etc … are just vehicles. If you must bitch, bitch at the drivers, not the vehicle themselves. It’s not in good taste, it’s poor journalism and there’s plenty of negativity out there as it is. …
