Government Shutdown? End of the Middle Class?

What happens to you and yours if these things come to pass? I just posted about this on my other MLM blog.

Groupon, Living Social and The Customer Advantage

By now you've heard about Groupon and Living Social. They are awesome companies changing the face of local business in a super cool way. And now we have The Customer Advantage doing the same thing but with a serious twist - they pay YOU!

Instead of "just" designing a great deal for the business owner to gather new customers; and instead of "just" orchestrating 50%-off deals or better for customers, The Customer Advantage will pay you for referring those businesses and customers.

You see Groupon has it going on, no one can deny that. Bottom line we all love it when we get a great deal. But they are not too far removed from the typical business that is all about it's own profits. Don't get me wrong, I know they are socially responsible and it is nice that they are spreading their profits around in really cool and helpful ways. It gives us the warm fuzzies, but does that help us pay the bills?

The difference with TCA is that they are designing great deals for local businesses to gain more attention and more customers by offering a percentage of their profits to you for spreading the word. So they are empowering local communities at the local level to really come together locally and thrive where you live! Did I mention it's local and about re-energizing local communities??

It's that boot-strapping thing we all know, where we pull ourselves up instead of waiting around for the government to suddenly, miraculously start working for the people again. It's word of mouth marketing at it's finest, and if you're reading this, and I think you are, then it's something you already know more about than most people.

The Customer Advantage is attractive to people who know nothing about mlm because it's not your typical mlm opportunity. Watch the videos on the main page and join for free today.

MLM and Article Marketing

Are you writing and submitting articles about your MLM product or service yet? Are you doing it by hand, one at a time? If so, you're going to love this new software. And if you're not doing article marketing because you hate writing then listen up:

You can have 100 unique articles ready to auto-post to the directories within seconds of writing just one (or re-working some plr, or outsourcing the writing to a freelancer for a few dollars).

You read that right. Write just one piece of say 300 to 500 words, and parlay that one-time effort into 100 (or often a lot more) unique pieces of content to post to article directories. And if you've shopped around for article spinners and realized they are all junk, you'll be please with this software. I can't explain the technology, but I have seen the output and the articles read well. You just need to make sure that what you start with is high quality (everyone's heard of GIGO by now, right? Garbage In, Garbage Out)

OK, so it'll write you a bunch of articles, but now you're telling me you don't want to sit for 12 hours to do the posting yourself? Then you really need to check this out, because not only does it re-work your writing, but it auto-posts to the directories for you. In a word: Sweet.

So if you're not yet using this powerful Internet marketing technique, for whatever reason, or if you're doing it the hard way, check out this system and you will probably change your mind today. It's that powerful and EASY.

Oh and there's a special offer running right now. No not one of those bogus ones where they pretend the sale ends at midnight:-)

My Husband Went to a MLM Quixtar Meeting...

A friend mentioned yesterday that her husband had been to "one of those multi-level business MLM meetings." The company was Quixtar (which is Amway no matter how you slice it). She said "I told him no way! Those things are all scams."

So I piped up and gave her my opinion, which I had never actually spoken aloud to anyone until then. So I didn't really know just what I was about to say.

Based on my own personal experience, I told her how I really feel about network marketing these days. I told her that MLM isn't a scam, it's a legitimate business model, but it's not right for most people. Because most people burn through their warm market with the initial excitement, and then quit because most of their friends aren't interested in being entrepreneurs or sales people.

This means all the money spent up to that point is lost. Sure you get some good products, and might settle in as a customer (just what the company is hoping) but the income you were imagining never materializes. (I didn't bore her with the litany of companies I've been with, including Quixtar, and only spent money, never made much or nothing.)

I told her that though they make it sound easy at the meetings, it isn't easy in practice. I then told her that, based on his personality, her husband is probably among the small percentage of people who could do really well in MLM. Then I said that even so, I don't recommend it because to be one who is wildly successful, you often must bring in a lot of "sacrificial reps" along the way.

What do I mean by that? Well, I mean those charismatic, outgoing people who are able to persuade and charm people into joining, even though the likelihood of them succeeding too, is slim. And so you won't feel bad for them, you're taught by your upline that those who fail are just losers who won't "do what it takes" to make it and so deserve to fail.

I don't know if he will go ahead and take the plunge, either way is OK of course, but I felt compelled to tell my friend what I feel is the truth of MLM. Most people won't make the big money they entice you with at those meetings, and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

What do you think? I know there are some successful network marketers out there and maybe you're one of them. Or maybe you're new to all this. Either way, please leave a comment as this is an important topic. And keep it civil please.

Cash Flow a Problem as you build Your MLM Business?

Budgeting enough money to get your home business off the ground can be tricky.

Each time you turn around you seem to spend every dollar you have on advertising and find you're still not getting ahead in your business.

It basically will nickel and dime you to death.

You really can't get ahead in your business if you have to spend a ton on advertising, especially when you are first starting out.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone could show you basically step by step how you can build your home business without spending a ton of money while doing it?

Well, there is some good news.

I recently came across something that I think will really help your business as it has mine.

It is a videos series by a guy named Mike Dillard called "Building On A Budget".

In these videos Mike shows you how to build any home business for $500 or less.

I took these free videos and purchased his ridiculously low priced book, and within two weeks of applying the techniques he teaches and am now getting as many as 10 new qualified prospects per day.

The best part is that I did not spend much money while doing it.

Now I have the tools to grow my business without getting nickel and dimed to death.

You can get free access to these videos by going here...

Enjoy your new found wealth,

Get Cash Back When You Advertise Your MLM Business

I came across this system a few days ago and got involved today. It took me awhile to be sure I understood correctly that they pay me continually for a one-time purchase of $79 worth of advertising that I can use to promote any business I want to.

The program I joined is their $12k in 10 Weeks plan. I joined for $86.90 ($79 plus a 10% processing fee) and am now positioned in the Steel and Copper matrices. About now you are wondering what the heck I’m talking about so just click here and start the learning process for yourself: Advertisers Get Cash Back.

I assure you that once you “get” this, you will want in, too. Just sign-in as a free member and then you can surf around the back office. Go to the Member Support area and watch the videos there. The most important is the $12k in 10 Weeks one, but watching them all will get you up to speed quickly.

They have conference calls and training calls throughout the week, and I and my upline are here to help you with any questions.

This is a powerful program that will knock your socks off when it clicks for you, I promise. The gist of the $12 in 10 Weeks is getting two people signed up under you in your first week and helping them do the same. If it takes longer that’s ok, because you will still get there! How? Because the company is constantly advertising for you, and places people in your matrix for you if need be, so no one is left out. You get paid faster if you can bring 2 people in, but if not, you are still golden.

I don’t put my name behind very many things, and had to pick over this in detail before joining and promoting it here. Take a look. You will be pleased that you did. It’s a product that everyone marketing online needs -advertising that works - combined with an ingenious system that pays us all cash back for using the system. Faster if we promote it ourselves, too.

Check it out now: Advertisers Get Cash Back.
There are other levels you can join at, too. Higher and lower than the $79 I mention here.

If all your retirement is in stocks, here is a great reason to start a home business now

Dow Industrials plunge 300 points

NEW YORK - Wall Street plunged again Thursday, extending an almost relentless downward spiral after problems at Countrywide Financial Corp. confirmed investors' fears that credit problems are spreading. The market shrugged off the Federal Reserve's injection of $17 billion into the banking system, and the Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 300 points.

Read the rest here.

I know many people who have their life savings in mostly stocks. This is not a good idea. For a relatively small investment, you can begin a home business, your own income producing asset, that grows based on your and your teams efforts, not at the whim of the markets.

Hope you didnt get walloped.

Be well,

Tracy

MLM Success Secret: Attraction

''If you work hard on your job, you could make a living. If you work hard on yourself, you could make a fortune.

Your income is primarily determined by your philosophy, not the economy.

Success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person. It's not something you pursue.''

~ Jim Rohn quotes

How to succeed in MLM?

Become and attractive person.

All else being equal, the one who has spent the energy and time getting to know what they desire, why they want it, and what inspires them, will be more attractive than 1 million who follow the time-worn and super embarassing 'ignorance on fire' approach to MLM.

What do you really want from your life? Know that and you will attract others who also know that about themselves.

You will begin to attract the people who, like you, know that MLM can make dreams come true, but only if you know what your dreams are. Those are the people you want in your organization.

Vague ideas that lots of money would be cool, don't cut it once the initial thrill has worn off.

Gahndi's words are apropos for so many situations, and fit quite nicely here: ''You must be the change you want to see in the world.''

You must be certain of what you want, and then certain that of all the ways to get it, MLM is the best vehicle for you. If it isn't, keep looking because it is not as easy as most people want you to believe.

Steer clear of anyone who tells you it's ''so easy anyone can do it''. But before you say no, ask them to please define easy:-) Then come back and tell us what they say. (In other words, post a comment).

All my best,

Tracy

MLM Breath of Fresh Air

I came across Kim Klaver awhile back, when I was still licking my wounds from a disasterous experience with old school MLM.

I thought anyone who called herself "Ms. Stud" was just another woman in man's clothing "getting 'er done" the old fashioned way.

I'm happy to say how wrong I was. And that I have become a raving fan of Kim Klaver and the work she is doing to improve the image of MLM and the success rate of women in the business.

And I hope you, sir, are paying attention, too. Why? Because as of this writing, 82% of new people joining MLM are women. Stop trying to make them ignore their intuition and instincts with the old school marketing tactics.

If you learn some new ways to communicate with women, you just might see your business stabilize and flourish. Might take a little longer though, and I know that's hard to hear.

Here's a snip from one of Kim's 2006 posts I just came across:

New School of Network Marketing by Kim Klaver: "How to talk to a woman": "I have always believed that starting a business of your own is a little like having a baby. While the boys may like the score, anyone in business knows that developing something long-term requires caring for it, nurturing it, and usually for years to come. Plus working with one or two others in the beginning, and sometimes for years, is a process that takes time.

There's much more to building a successful business than signing up or making that initial product purchase.

I believe that's why women are not as quick to say 'yes.' First we not like to be talked to and treated as a 'score' or something to be 'closed.' Second, many of us know that building up a viable long term business with regular customers requires caring and nurturing over several years, the first of which are the most important."

Who in MLM is telling reps these truths? Why are they not taught across the board? Could this be the reason most fail (95%) and why network marketing has such a bad name? Hmmm...

Stayed tuned by subscribing to my blog. See the form up there to the far right?
