New people joining a network marketing business are often stuck wondering what to do next. You’re

left wondering now that I’ve joined, I’ve called all my friends and family, now what do I do?

Of course you need someone to teach you how to network both online and offline. Your presence, your

brand marketing skills will be enhanced once you recruit that one person. You’re going to feel

on top of the world and successful, once you are able to put that one person in your downline.

Don’t let it stop there; keep the momentum going.

One way I continue to build winners on my team is by calling folks on the phone, and talking to them.

I don’t just jump into selling my business to them, I try to spend a couple of minutes getting to know

them. It shows that I care, and believe it or not, I’m really trying to make friends. My focus isn’t

just on making money, I want to make friends first. When I make friends, then the relationships

will last forever and I now have a vested interest in them.

Network marketing is about developing relationships that turn into prosperity. Become skilled at

relationship building and you can become successful at any network marketing business.

If you’re new to network marketing, then keep reading these articles, because I will walk you through

successful downline building without spending too much money.

Here’s a tip that works for me: Be creative. Twice a month I have GBG 10-in-1 parties (GBG is the

network marketing business I am a distributor for). At these parties, I provide samples of the

product, show a quick video about the business, and allow participants to engage with one another in

an effort to learn more about the exciting ways they can make money with GBG. This results in at

least 4 new distributors a month.

Try having a getting to know you party for your network marketing products and let me know how that

works for you.

Legitimate Affiliate Programs That Make Money

Teasastips — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 21:32:42 +0000

Because I’m always blogging about making money online and making money from home, I thought it was only fair that I show some evidence of my labor. This is a stretch for me, because I never talk about how much money I make online. I think it’s tacky and lacks class. However, I also understand that so many people are bragging about how much money they make online, that it is only fitting that I show how I am doing. Before I do that, let me give you a little background on the three streams of income I currently have going.

Affiliate Marketing (CPA Networks)

I am an affiliate for Hydra Networks and Monetizeit. These 3 networks are very reputable companies that pay their affiliates monthly for cost per action leads. Cost per action (CPA) leads are usually offers you see everyday online that require you to enter your email address, or to take a free trial. Whenever you take advantage of a free trial from one of the networks I am promoting campaigns for, then I get paid. The payouts vary, anywhere from $1.30 to $45.00 per lead. You can imagine that the more you promote, the more you make.

What I am going to show you is the income I earned last month from Monetizeit. June was a slow month for me, however, July seems to be picking up speed, and my income should be more lucrative. Here is a screenshot:

Hydra has been running a little slow for me. In the past, I’ve been able to earn $3000.00 per month; however, June only brought in a little over $800.00. I anticipate future earnings to be in the area of $800-$1000 per month. Here is a screenshot of June 2010 earnings.

Multi Level Marketing (MLM)

Another stream of income that I am developing has more residual income capabilities. GBG 10-in-1 Liquid Multivitamin is an MLM opportunity I recently began to focus on. I haven’t earned anything from it yet, however, I am looking to sign up distributors. It’s free to join, but you will want to order a monthly supply of GBG just so you can at least talk about the product to others. The product is $39.95 per month, and setting up an autoship every month puts in a good position for future earnings. The compensation plan is exceptional, and as soon as I begin to work some of these leads, then this business will soon take off. If you’re in the St Louis area, look for an invitation for a GBG party soon! If you want more information about GBG, click here

Email List Marketing For Business Profit

Your List = Your Asset

You might wonder why it’s a good idea to build a list. After all, it probably seems like a lot of work to find prospects, get them to accept emails from you, and find new things to send out to them on a regular basis. You might also think it will take a lot of hard work to get people to buy. You know that you can’t just send them low-grade content and expect them to buy simply because you sent them an email.

And if you think these things, you’re right: building a list is very hard. And making sales from lists is also hard. It takes time and it takes attention to detail to do things right. And this is exactly why many marketers never do it. But that is their mistake. You aren’t going to make that same mistake. Building a list and marketing to it is one of the most profitable things you can do in IM; and this guide is going to show you how to do exactly how to go about it. So why is building an email list a good idea? There are many reasons, but these five are probably the most important:

List item 1

Building lists allows you to reduce the cost of acquiring new
customers. Contrary to what you might think, it is much, much
cheaper (on a unique-sale basis) to presale and pitch to one person
until she buys than it is to pitch to different people until one of them
buys.

List item 1

Building lists allows you to maximize the profit that you generate
per customer.

List item 1

Having a list means that you can participate in major launch events.
Next time there’s a big launch, you can benefit by being one of the
first affiliates to offer the product.

List item 1

Having a list allows you to test your copy. With a captive audience,
you can run controlled experiments to test your copy’s conversion
rate before you pay to send the same advertisement out to a larger
audience.

List item 1

Having a list allows you to bring more to the table in future joint
venture partnerships. Rather than simply offering to do part of the
product-creation work, you can now offer to market the completed
product to your list.

For these five reasons and many, many others, list building is one of the most profitable things you can do as an Internet marketer. Not only will it help you to monetize your current sites better, but it will also open up new avenues for partnership and marketing.

NOTE:

As I was working my list this weekend, I discovered that calling subscribers first is more professional than sending out an initial anonymous email, particularly if you are trying to get them to sign up for a home based business opportunity. My goal of contacting my list members was to get them to listen to an opportunity call, so I wanted to make that call prior to emailing them. It’s not something everyone will do, but it’s what I did.

Refrain from Buying Bulk Mails

I am sure that you have definitely come across advertisements that read: “1,000,000 email addresses for $29.99”. And these bulk mail companies can even offer you these names in a CD at your doorstep.
Sure, having 1,000,000 subscribers is the best thing that could ever happen to any Internet Marketer and often sounds too good to be true. But very often, it always sound too good to be true.
What many beginning marketers do not really know is that these bulk companies harvest the email addresses using robots and other wares on the Internet. That is how the 1,000,000 email addresses come about, whatever the amount is.

Now, the really awful part is that if you purchase the so-called 1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a waste of money, you are risking being accused of spamming. It is no longer a surprise how you often receive spam mails on Viagra, OEM Software and things you do not even need in your inbox.

That is so possible, because of the 1,000,000 names, no one knows you or even ask to be subscribed to your mailing list.
On top of that, not all 1,000,000 email addresses are really in use because a portion of them can either be own by the same owners (one owner can own more than 1 email accounts) or are obsolete.
When you read such ads again, tell yourself that it is a waste of money.

Article Marketing

This is by far one of the most effective ways of increasing your backlinks and improving your site’s ranking. In a nutshell, article marketing is accomplished by writing a series of short articles and then distributing them to article directories. Each one of these articles has a relevant back link with anchor text that you choose.

To use article marketing to your advantage you simply come up with a list of keywords that you would like to target. Write, or have written, articles that use each of these keywords in the title and several times throughout the body of the article.

In context links are more important to Google

After the articles have been written, submit them to several different article directories. You should choose 20 to 30 quality directories that have a good page rank. Remember that these article directories will be sending link juice your way, so you shouldn’t just post to any directory you find.

The Rich Jerk: Never Trust A Guru

Teasastips — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:09:44 +0000

I was sickened when I read this article. See, that’s why my motto is “Never Trust A Guru.” Self professed internet marketing guru The Rich Jerk, you’ve heard of him, probably seen his ads on guru, you might even be on his mailing list. If you’ve shelled out the $10,000 for his ‘coaching and mentoring’ program, then you are one of the fools he refers to in his public ‘confession.’

Let me give you some background, and I hope this article reads right because in my mind I am on fire! I hate it when people take advantage of other people for their own material gain. Call me naïve, call me whatever, but I am real, know this to be true! I don’t want you to shell out money for products I know don’t work. Maybe that’s why I only promote online games. I will NEVER have my name tied up with some scam artist. These people prey on those who don’t know any better, who are looking to make a quick buck. People who act impulsively and choose to let their credit cards do their thinking.

But as George Hull (not P.T. Barnum) once said, “there’s a sucker born every minute,” yes apparently so. The Rich Jerk (as he calls himself, Google this name and you will see who he is), still makes $1 million a month instead of the $3 million a month he was making (thanks to the FTC.) He is making this money from the wallets of unsuspecting people like you. If not you, then maybe your relatives, friends or neighbors, whomever.

Don’t let anymore self proclaimed gurus take advantage of you. People I implore you to do your research, read about a company before you join one! Don’t be a sheep, don’t be a follower. And please don’t believe the hype when you read, “only 12 left,” or “private launch.” Those words are the biggest sack of lies ever invented; designed to get you to part with your hard earned money as quickly as possible.

You can read the rest of Rich Jerk’s confession by going here: “Just Thoughts (and why most marketers probably won’t promote my stuff anymore.)”

I warn you it is not pretty.

Did You Know Free Reports Build Lists?

Special Reports: Build your List and Make Money

Does your business enterprise need a boost? Consider using special reports to add revenue and build a business contact list for future use. (GET YOUR FREE REPORT BELOW BY CLICKING ON THE IMAGE)

What are special reports?

Special reports are short reports that contain helpful information on a subject. The reports are anywhere from a few to 30 or so pages in length. If you have the know-how, you can write them yourself or hire a writing service to do it for you. There is very little work involved in creating them but they are versatile tools for building an online business.

One popular subject for special reports is how-tos. They direct a reader, step by step, how to do something. If you are knowledgeable with computer software and hardware, that is a perfect niche for special reports on your website. People are always having trouble figuring out their computers and you could help.

Marketing special reports

There are options for marketing your special reports. If you are trying to build a business list of customers, use these special reports as a freebie when any visitor signs up to be a part of your email mailing list. For this type of promotion, use a shorter report like a five page report on how to navigate problems with Windows Vista (if your website has a computer niche).

You can create a five-part course and use the first part as the free promotion. It is your hook. Once they sign up for the mailing list, you can grant them access to the other installments through emails that also advertise your website products. Signing up for a business newsletter subscription can also be the reason to gift a free special report.

Making money

All of your special reports don’t have to go towards list building. Besides your other products or services, you can sell special reports on your website. Many reports sell for between $5 and $20 a piece, but if you offer very valuable information, you can command a higher price. Sell single reports or create various courses to interest your customers.

People love to learn about money-making opportunities. They will pay the money for any information that is a how-to guide to making money on and offline in various ways. How have you made money? Begin there with the subject of your special reports.

As your business grows, create an affiliate program. This gives customers a way to help you make more money and also make some for them. Offer certain special reports as additional compensation for reaching a certain selling level in the affiliate program.

There are a number of ways to use special reports. As you build your library and your lists, alternate the free promotional reports and continue to sell your entire library, creating combination offers such as Buy Two, Get One Free.

While your special reports are building your contact list, they are also making you money. With such a low cost to create them, your profit margin will rise.
