Can You Really Succeed in Network Marketing/MLM?

So you decided to start a home based business or maybe you are
just looking into it. There is a daunting statistic that is staring you
in the face: 9 out of 10 of you out there will never make more than
$100 a month. That’s a far cry from $5k, isn’t it? That is some stat,
and yet thousands of people daily make the decision to dive into
starting their own home based business. Is it your path to financial
security? What is the real difference between the haves and the
don’t haves? The difference between making $0 and $10k
monthly? This gap is no more apparent than in Network
Marketing/MLM. What is the secret to succeeding in your own
home based business? Better yet, do you want to be successful?
That question may seem odd, and you may say “of course I do,
doesn’t everyone?” The answer to that question may surprise you.

20/20 did a story some time ago where they interviewed several
People that were part of Amway. Most of the time we heard from
the complainers. They complained about not being able to succeed
and the garage full of soap they couldn’t sell. Pretty damning
evidence that it just doesn’t work. At the very end of the story they
gave about 2 minutes and interviewed Bill Bright. He was sitting
in front of his palatial home and was asked how he succeeded
where so many others failed. What was his secret? The answer was
simple and not very surprising at all. He showed ‘the plan’ or
business to 1200 people, and this was before the internet made it
possible to contact thousands a month. He had face to face contact
with 1200 people!

Of course not everyone joined him. 300 people signed up. 215 did
not build a business. 85 were serious, 30 actually built a business. 11
made him a millionaire! That was his secret, work. Let me say that
again- WORK! He did the work. What would you do in the face of
900 no’s? Would you quit after 10, 20, 100, 500? Most people do.
The good thing now is that there are systems in place to help people
succeed and it is less daunting than speaking to someone face to face
and getting rejected. Who wants that?! However, you still must do
the work and get your business out there. Thomas Edison tried over
10,000 times to invent the light bulb. The point is, he didn’t fail, he
just found 10,000 ways that did not work.

People have choices, you have a choice. People don’t really fail in this
business - people quit! They quit on their dreams, they quit on
themselves. They get comfortable where they are in life. They start
to dream smaller, and expect less. Very successful people realize
that they won’t hit a home run every time up. Babe Ruth, that
famous Yankee slugger, got a hit only 3 out of 10 times at bat. What
you have to realize is that it will take work and sacrifice to succeed
in anything you do! Where are your priorities? Where do you spend
your time?

If someone is saying that they want success, but are not doing what it
takes to succeed, do they really want success? It’s ok if they don’t.
Not everyone is cut out for this life, although everyone can achieve it,
if they want it.

Network Marketing is the best business to be in because there are
successes like Bill Bright to study. Where else can you start a business
that has the potential to set you free for less than $500. There have
been people before you that have done it! Don’t try to re-invent the
wheel. Learn from the success of others. In this business the only
way you can succeed is by helping others succeed. Isn’t that they
way it should be, we can all be successful together. You just need
to make a decision. Make a decision to succeed, a decision for your
future. That is the reason you are here, isn’t it?

10 Awesome Ways To Attract More Orders

1. Create a free ebook directory on a specific topic
at your web site. People will visit your web site to
read the free ebooks and may see your product ad.


2. Turn part of your web site into a members only
web site. Instead of charging for access, use it as
a free bonus for one of your products.


3. Add a free classified ad section to your web site.
You could then trade banner ads with other web
sites that have free classified ad sections.


4. Create two versions of your e-zine so people
can choose if they want ads included with it or not.
This'll attract the people who hate ads to subscribe.


5. Publish your e-zine only on your web site. Have
people subscribe to a "new issue" e-mail reminder.
This could really increase your traffic and sales.


6. Sell advertising space in your product package.
You could sell inserts, flyers, brochures, booklets,
and digital ads for electronic products.


7. Offer daily or weekly visitor bonuses. This will
increase your repeat traffic and sales because your
visitors will visit regularly to get the visitor bonuses.


8. Allow people to download software or e-books
from your web site at no cost. Just ask your visitors
in return if they'll refer their friends to your web site.


9. Build up the number of people that join your free
affiliate program quickly by temporally offering your
product for free to the people that sign up.


10. Negotiate with e-zine publishers to get free or
discounted ads by letting them join your affiliate
program and earn commissions on the ad you run.

Cheap Ways To Drive Traffic to Your Home Business Site

Getting your self a website and home business set-up is an exciting time. You are finally going to be free. You will be master of your own destiny. You are ready to Fire the Boss. If you can only get traffic to your site. Anybody can get traffic to their site, that's not the trick. Getting targeted traffic is what it is all about!

There are a ton of companies out there that will guarantee you visitors or hits to your home business site. I have seen the ads and so have you, 100,000 hits only 10.95! On the surface that may seem like a good deal, but what kind of traffic are we talking about? I have heard too many stories about people paying for traffic and getting no sales out of it. The reason being is that it is not targeted traffic. It is just visits and maybe not even that. If you are selling an item or opportunity on the web, you don't need some 13 year old that just surfing around to see your website. In my opinion - save your money.

The first thing you should do is join the traffic exchanges. This mis where you will view other people's websites so that you can have others view yours. For a list of the best performing on a weekly basis check out TrafficHoopla . It is a free service that ranks them weekly. Definitely join TrafficSwarm , it is the biggest and probably the best exchange overall. Traffic exchanges are free to join - you can upgrade to pro and pay monthly for good benefits. Keep in mind that other people on those exchanges are doing what you are doing - they are surfing to get credits so others can view their site.

Safelists are another cheap way to get you home business out there. A safelist allows you to send e-mail messages to other members in exchange for you receiving messages from them. Again Traffic Hoopla has a list of the top safelists to view. As a free member of a safelist you can mail usually every 48 hrs to once a week depending on the safelist.

Forums are a great way to meet other internet marketers, exchange ideas and promote your business through your signature. I would not suggest blatantly promoting yourself or your business. a forum is a place to exchange ideas. Your signature will be promotion enough. you must give of yourself, through worthwhile postings before you will see a benefit. Forum members expect that you have something worthwhile to say and will ignore you if you do nothing but promote.

These are a few of the tried and tested methods that people are using to promote their home businesses. If you are short on funds, this is a great way to start. Don't expect the flood gates to open, it does take a while to build, but if you are consistent and motivated it will pay off.
