Using Twitter Drive Traffic to your Site





Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms, especially with the younger crowd where it has in some cases replaced texting as a way to spread current information quickly.
For site owners, Twitter can have a lot of different uses. Twitter pages themselves can represent an individual, companies, brands, individual products, as well as pages for creative types, such as musicians, and so on. These pages can be configured and designed differently in a way to create an impact with their target market.
When it comes to driving traffic, in the advent of an all out assault by Google on internet marketers generally & link building specifically, one needs to branch out as much as possible and look for other types of traffic

It is no longer enough to link build in order to achieve a high ranking on organic search within Google and wait for the free organic traffic to arrive. This may work for you in the short term, but as the playfield keeps being changed with each successive Google update and as updates keep coming think and fast, there is no way to be certain that the organic rankings which are driving traffic to your site this week, will still exist and be doing so the next.
Twitter as a Promotional Platform

You must start thinking about Twitter as a promotional platform. The 140-character tweets are short, but when using an account in a clever way, one can maximize the benefits that may be derived from an account.
Help People When You Tweet
With tweeting, it is a good idea to tweet a few times a day, if possible. However, this does not mean that you need to have, or should have, many new things to say each day about your site or business. What do we mean by that?
It has been found that people like other people who share helpful information with them. This tends to make the receiver more open to all forms of communication from someone that has been helpful. It also creates a basic level of trust in their communications. Therefore, a Twitter account is usually a far more successful driver of traffic to a site if along with promotional content, other helpful hints and tips are tweeted. Think of it as the social media version of spreading the love and it works very effectively.

Building your downline offline


From the desk of Mike Serra    

Most people that join some type of MLM business are normally told by their upline to market to their family and friends which is not a terrible statement.  Then they are directed to internet marketing like video marketing, social media, article marketing, pay per click marketing, email marketing, and many more.  Most people are focused on online marketing and never think about using offline marketing which has been working for centuries.  One in particular is using yard signs, which is commonly used in the real estate industry.

Yard Signs aka realtor signs are a great tool for exposing an opportunity and recruiting locally.  I'm sure you have seen several of these signs driving around your neighborhood.  To be honest I don't know why this method of advertising isn't used more often when it comes to building your MLM or Network Marketing business.  This strategy is very easy to duplicate and is very cost effective.  I place about 15 signs at a time in one area and it normally produces about 10-20 calls a day for about 2 weeks.

I'm sure your next question is how do I get my hands on some of these yard signs?  Cheapsigns.com is a great place to get your signs created.  My preference is Supercheapsigns.com but both are cost effective ways to get your message across.  I learned that it is recommended to use a yellow background with black lettering which gets the best results.
-->

Now it's time to eliminate the tire kickers by wording your sign as such.  $150,000 PER YEAR WORKING FROM HOME Don't Believe It? Don't Call! 888-###-####.  This is just an example so you can word it how you want.  Now instead of getting random phone calls it is a great idea to use a voice mail recording so you can sort your prospects. Phonepower.com and are great tools to do just that.  With phonepower.com you can create an 800 number or a local number depending on your preference.  I have a script that I use for my voicemail that is very direct and to the point. 

Once you get your yard signs, the best place to put them is by busy intersections and highway off ramps.  One thing I would suggest is be very careful of enforcement activities.  Local officials can possibly fine you $100 per sign if not removed in a timely manner. I found that placing signs on Friday evenings and then removing them on Sunday evenings work with no problems at all.

I found that placing signs on Friday evenings and then removing them on Sunday evenings work with no problems at all. To get an even better response you could use some good sales copy too! For example you could write ‘Tired of driving to a job you hate?’ or something to aggravate their pain a little. (You can have that idea if you like!)
If you place these signs in some busy intersections you could get quite a few leads per day.
Also think about where your target market hangs out? Where do your prospects like to go?

Money Using Pinterest





The Pinterest Business Model
Pinterest is ideally suited for affiliate marketers. The network serves a mostly female audience that loves to shop. They off them is to post, or “pin”, items that would be of interest to these women and link those items with an affiliate link. This is why you see so many pins with items from Amazon.com. Ten times out of ten, that Amazon link will be an affiliate link.
Before you go blasting Pinterest with your Amazon links, you need to do a couple of things.
Cloak The Affiliate Links
If you’re going to post affiliate links to Pinterest, you must cloak the links. Pinterest uses a service call Skimlinks that scans their network for affiliate links, and then change those links to their affiliate ID!
You should cloak your link with a custom short URL. I wouldn’t recommend using a well known service like Bit.ly or Tiny URL. Chances are, Skimlinks have them in their database of links to skim. The best link cloaking service to use is LinkTrackr .
Not only does LinkTrackr allows you to monitor clicks and conversion, you can wrap the links around a custom short URL that will be outside the Skimlinks database. This ensure that your affiliate links won’t be changes to the Pinterest affilate ID, and you’ll get credit for the sale.
Host The Images On Your Server
You should host all the images you pin on your server. Pinterest links all the images back to their source. If you’re pinning items right from Amazon, clicking on the image will take a user to Amazon. Since you can’t link an image with your affiliate ID, it’s best to send the user to the site where you host the image and post the link there.
Don’t Spam
The Pinterest spammers use bots to automate the process of creating accounts and posting pins. I don’t recommend you do this. Like Facebook, Pinterest will get better at detecting and banning spam pins. You should take a long-term view if you want to make money off Pinterest. Spend an hour or so a day and post pins of stuff you love. Link those pins with a LinkTrackr  link and keep building. In a month or so, you’ll have a Pinterest page with thousands of items all with affiliate links, and should make some decent coin from it.
Happy pinning!

Using Twitter the Right Way To Promote Your Business







There is no doubt; Twitter has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. Anyone who owns a website should know that social marketing is going to make a huge impact on their business. Of course, SEO is always going to be important because you have to diversify your link building techniques in many different ways, but it has been proven that social media is going to put you ahead by a long way.
The reason why people are not using Twitter is because they are lazy or because they don’t have time. People are skeptical about this approach and don’t believe that it is the best way forward so they continue to promote their website the hard way with guest posts and web 2.0 links. They may even think that a quick blast with cheap links is going to be the best option. This might be a good choice for a short while, but eventually Google is going to catch you out.

 Why Twitter is a Good Idea

  • Just about everyone uses Twitter and it operates on a global scale.
  • It is a quick way of spreading the word.
  • It is a personal way of getting your message across.
  • You can incorporate it with your Facebook account so you don’t have to switch over every time you want to post to Facebook. You can do both at the same time.
  • You can build up a fan base easily with applications that make it simple.
  • You can put Twitter on your mobile phone which means you can type in a quick message whilst you are having a cup of coffee.
  • It is one of the best ways to promote your business and attract clients.

 Using Twitter the Right Way

Of course there is a right way and a wrong way to go about this. You have to make sure that you take the right approach.
  1. The number one thing to remember about this is not to spam and promote your business in a way that your followers will become annoyed. Think about it from your perspective. Would you want to be bombarded with a sales pitch everyday? This is definitely not engaging with your followers.
  2. Before you start make sure you read all of the rules and regulations. You will be banned very quickly if you abuse the system.
  3. Buying followers is not effective. It is a black hat technique and it is just lazy. There are applications where you can find followers who share the same interest as you and this is the better way to go about things.
  4. Really focus on quality followers. Rather have fewer followers then a bunch of high school students who merely follow you because they want to increase their popularity.
  5. The tweets must come from the same person or someone in your company. You don’t want it to sound like you have hired someone from India who knows nothing about the company to type in 150 words everyday.
  6. Create an exciting, enthusiastic blurb. People won’t want to follow you if you are boring and bland.
  7. Respond when someone sends you a message or tweets you. This is a nice bonus and you should take advantage of it.

Make Money on Pinterest







make money on pinterest
Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social websites on the net and has the best buying demographic…Females (Just a joke). So why not jump on the train before it gets too full. I’m going to get straight to the point and show you how I make money and get traffic from Pinterist with just 1 account.

Create Boards

I’m not going to go through all of the basics like how to create an account. So I am going to start by going over what type of boards to create.
You are going to want to create 6 to 10 boards with one of them being your niche. The other boards are going to be popular subjects such as motivational, getting healthy, beautiful.
The reason for that is because a lot of people will be looking for them and because that’s where were going to repin popular pins and then other people will repin those pins which will give us more exposure and more people will follow us.

Who To Follow

There are a lot of marketers and bots on Pinterest so we want to not waste our time following them. This is a work in progress but what I found is to look for people that have a low number of followers and people they are following where they are both somewhat in proportion. So I would look for someone that has 30 to 200 people that are following them and they are following. That’s my ideal person to find. Once I find them, I follow them and then go to the list of people that they are following and follow them. In that list I look for more people that I would want to follow so that I can find the people they’re following and so on.
I started following like this because people follow their friends so I want to move that way not backwards towards people that are following them. Because anyone can follow anyone so a lot of the people that are following them can be bots. And if I do end up at a marketers profile, they’re going to want to follow real people, so it’s not bad to follow the people they’re following anyways.
So it’s win-win if I end up at a marketers page or not.

Start Getting Noticed

The next thing to do is to start liking and repinning other peoples pins. Search for something related to each of your boards and repin 10 to 20 of the pins. This will get you content be shown to other people. Then search again for things to go on another board and so on. What all this does is notifies the people you pinned and liked that you did that. So now they know you and if they like your boards will follow you.

How To Make Money

There are several ways to make money from Pinterest such as CPAs and Adsense but the way I like to make money is through Amazon. Since Pinterest started deleting your affiliate ID from an Amazon link the only way to get around it is sending traffic to a website and then sending them to Amazon.
This is how most gurus tell you to make money. They tell you to make a website, put some content with images on it.. And then pin the images to Pinterest and watch the traffic and money roll in. Now, I don’t have doubts that this works but I know that you need to create many accounts in order to get this done and make a lot of money.
That’s just not something that’s appealing to me. It seems like way too much work. So I’ve come up with a way to kill two birds with one stone. I do everything the gurus say by making an account on Pinterest and a website to post pictures on but I already have massive amounts of traffic available to me from where I create the website.

I also don’t like doing the same thing over and over again so I’ve created a way to automate my tasks for Free.
To find out all of this and to get the Free automation tools just sign up to The Lazy Newsletter and I’ll send this info to you right away.
I’m only doing this way so I can control the release on this information, so it doesn’t get over saturated.
Note: My strategies change often as Pinterest and times change, So this post might not be up to date.

Make Money Pinning On Pinterest






With over a billion people using social media, if your business isn’t social then you’re missing out on a great opportunity to connect with your customer base. And if you’re a marketer, you’re losing out on a goldmine of targeted traffic, links and sales. Specifically through Pinterest Marketing. Why? Research shows that Pinterest is now the third largest social media platform and brings in more sales and traffic than any of other big networks (Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn etc). 






So, although, most businesses are utilizing social media, they aren’t doing it properly. Instead, they pay some hack of a social media consultant $50,000 a year to manage their social media campaigns and attempt to increase user engagement. When I first started I found it all too confusing. Signing up to all the networks, actively trying to find and post valuable content to illicit responses from users, and then on top of that trying to build links and not ‘make a mess of things’. It’s incredibly powerful if done right, but utterly useless if done incorrectly.


You see, after 8 years of online marketing and business development, I have learned a lot. The heights and the pitfalls, the successes and the failures, and how easy it actually is to make money online with the right frameworks. That’s right, easy! Simple, quick and affordable.  I have that 
framework, and I want to make you part of the powerful group.


PinPioneer – Pinterest Marketing Software

To maintain any kind of social media presence, whether it’s from a marketing standpoint or a business standpoint, you need content. Something your users can engage with. Until now, acquiring this content was either time consuming, expensive or both. PinPioneer is a proprietary application and training course developed by Software Syndicate makers of other popular apps – Answer Assault, Torrentator, Answer Swipe etc.
As shown in the video above its main purpose is to create links, conversions and natural growth through Pinterest. No spam. No mass liking and mass re-pinning in the hope of reciprocation. Instead with the fastest technology available, PinPioneer grabs a plethora of content under your niche, lets you SEO and tag it accordingly, and then uploads it to your Pinterest account (amongst others). One click.
·                     Socket Based System – The fastest pinning system in the world (1000 pins per hour)
·                     Automatic Board Creation
·                     Easy to link Pinterest with Facebook, Twitter and other platforms, automatically

·                     Spintax (never post the same message twice in a row, automatic spinning)
·                     Replace Pinterest source URL with your own
·                     Auto following/unfollowing based on keywords/people/boards etc.
·                     Set and forget with Scheduling options.
·                     Mass liking support

Your Purchase Is 100% Protected



You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I’m so confident that PinPioneer will speed up your marketing that I’m offering a “No-Questions-Asked” 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

But wait, there’s more!

To sweeten the pot, and to encourage you to take action and get PinPioneer, I’m going to throw in some cool bonuses that are going to help you achieve better user engagement, higher sales and increased traffic faster.

Bonus 1: Pinterest Top Niches 2012 Report

I know how long market research takes, particularly when looking for a niche, keywords etc. So, I have collated a year’s worth of data to give you the exact lists of best Pinterest niches, best performing categories and those with the highest user engagement. No more trial and error!
·                                 A wide selection of both graphical and numerical data for Pinterest
·                                 A reduction in time spent looking for a profitable niche
·                                 Personal comments and suggestions on what to look for entering a Pinterest niche


Bonus 2: Setting up Pinterest ’Niche’ Sites eBook

Written from scratch, this eBook contains an easy to read guide covering the processes of quickly setting up websites specifically for Pinterest, in order to increase affiliate commissions, opt ins and ad sales.
·                                 A list of personally selected resources for building a Pinterest Marketing empire.
·                                 A step-by-step guide of setting up a lucrative landing page to funnel Pinterest traffic to.
·                                 What You Didn’t Know About Pinterest: A separate document uncovering the small hiccups in Pinterest’s architecture to help you with your marketing.

If you take a closer look at the value I’m offering today, I could easily have asked for $150+. Especially, since all of our competition prices their products at, at least $150 all the way to $300. However I choose not to do that because I think it’s unfair to play off  the appeal of big bucks to convey value. Instead, I find it much more rewarding to hear stories of your successes as a result of what I helped with. And since I know this will change your entire marketing perspectives for the better, I assume you’ll tell family and friends about PinPioneer and myself included. It’s a good feeling, and it’s good business. And those things are priceless.

The 1,2,3's Of MLM






Network Marketing, 'MLM', and Multi Level Marketing are all terms that refer to the same type of business model. While many close-minded people outside the industry (and others who've tried it and failed), have biased or negative wrong impressions, and despite the fact that it is used and abused by many crooks and con-artists, this business model has exceptional performance potential.
There are bad apples in every bunch, and this industry has more than it's share. But it can produce outstanding results if you know how to find the right company. And to maximize your potential, there are a few simple concepts whose understanding is critical to your success.
Unlike franchises or conventional businesses, Network Marketing, MLM, and Multilevel Marketing are the only business models that take advantage of all three of the important, yet misunderstood principles of:
Passive Residual Income - Leverage - and Geometric Growth.
And the combination of all three of these elements is what gives the Network Marketing business model it's synergy and exceptional performance potential. In fact one outstanding company I'm aware of has actually built designed synergy into their business model.
7 7 Poor Reasons to l forces with a minimal investment of time and money!
Whether it's a franchise or conventional business, both require major investments of time and money, and special skills if you hope to be really successful. Even the relatively small percentage who achieve true success usually take years just to break even.
On the other hand, with the advent and popularity of the Internet and the rampant quest to "Get Rich Quick for Doing Nothing", many people have gotten all excited about affiliate, associate, referral, or co-op programs as they are sometimes called. But very few of the thousands of these being promoted have any real chance of making any significant money for the vast majority of people who get involved.
A perfect example is an email I recently received from one of these programs who claim to be 'the best'. They bragged that they were paying "over $400,000 in commissions each month!" and have "now grown to over 650,000 affiliates!"
Those are interesting statistics some might get excited about. Let's see... if they're true... They're paying an 'average' of $.61 per affiliate... That's sixty one cents ! Wow! How would you like to retire on that?!
They claim later in their letter that some are making $10,000 a month. If that's true, then to come up with an 'average' of sixty one cents each, the vast majority have to be making absolutely nothing.
There is a much better way to achieve your dreams!
But you have to:
1) Take the time to understand these three critical principles -
PASSIVE RESIDUAL INCOME - LEVERAGE - GEOMETRIC GROWTH
Then...
2) LEARN TO ASK THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS! - so you can teach what you know to others.
If you're even moderately successful in networking, you undoubtedly understand and believe in the three principles above. If you haven't yet had the success you desire, you may not completely understand these principles, or how to get them across to others. Highly successful networkers have learned how to ask the right questions, then help others understand and take advantage of these important and powerful concepts.
Unfortunately these principles are not well understood by the majority of the population. And that's just one reason why so many fail at network marketing. There are lots of other reasons, and it would take a book to cover them all. But this is one of the more common ones. Because if you don't understand or believe in these principles, it's impossible to help others fully comprehend and appreciate them.
Let's face it, our educational system trains (or brainwashes) us to be conformists, to do what others tell us to do, and to prepare for a JOB, not an entrepreneurial business opportunity. So those of us who crave our independence and freedom, head in that direction in spite of our education, rarely because of it.
And even though many people claim they'd like to be their own boss or own their own business, only a small percentage of the population possess the necessary desire for success to risk stepping out of their 'comfort zones' to pursue their dreams.
Most people are afraid of failure, and for them it may be better and easier to live life in a rut. Others are satisfied or even happy with their jobs, incomes, or lifestyles, and that's great for them. But if you're one of millions who yearn for more freedom and control in your life, you must understand the following three principles to achieve True Success in Network Marketing.
Residual income is recurring income that continues to come to you long after the work you've done to produce it has ended. There are lots of ways to produce residual income. But many people don't understand it. Others have never thought about or been exposed to it. And unfortunately, many ways of producing it are out of reach for 'average' people.
Successful authors, actors, musicians, and insurance agents are some of the more familiar avocations that produce residual income. Probably the simplest and best example of passive residual income is interest earned on money in the bank or other investments. It gets paid or credited to you without you having to invest any more time to produce it.
Using the "virtual millionaire" concept I will explain below, if you had a million dollars in the bank earning 6% interest, that would produce about $60,000 of annual income (before taxes). So if you have any source of passive residual income producing $60,000 or more a year, you are a "virtual millionaire".
And with the right business, that can be much easier to accomplish than trying to overcome all the roadblocks to accumulating a million dollars in the bank. Instead of Uncle Sam fighting you all the way (taxing all your income), he actually becomes an active partner by giving you all kinds of tax breaks and incentives to succeed.
There are only two sources of money:
1) PEOPLE AT WORK, and 2) MONEY AT WORK...
THAT'S IT!
The simple goal of Retirement & Financial Planning is to make sure you accumulate enough money (or income producing assets), so that when you decide or are forced to retire, it will produce enough PASSIVE RESIDUAL INCOME for you to enjoy the lifestyle you choose for as long as you live.
The same concept holds true in Network Marketing. But Leverage, and Duplication or Geometric Progression, can help you build it much faster in the RIGHT Network Marketing program.
One of the first questions I often asks prospects is:
"If you had the choice of doing a job and earning $500 once, or getting paid $100/mo for the rest of your life, which would you choose?"
You'd be surprised at how many answer $500! These people either, 1) are not good prospects or, 2) need some education. That question is one quick and simple way to pre-qualify people. Those who don't understand that principle may never achieve their true potential.
Obviously $100/mo. will surpass a 'one time' $500 relatively quickly. And if it lasts for a few years, or better yet - the rest of your life - it will really be a blessing. Producing enough passive residual income can make you a VIRTUAL MILLIONAIRE in a relatively short time, compared to working for someone else and scrimping and saving for 30 - 40 years.
A VIRTUAL MILLIONAIRE is someone who has enough money coming in every month, WHETHER THEY WORK OR NOT, to support the lifestyle THEY CHOOSE, for as long as they live. It's also nice to have something SIGNIFICANT to pass on to your heirs or favorite charity.

When A free Bottle of NingXia Red

Many people have a hard time understanding this FACT and mistakenly chase false promises of quick or easy money. That's why there will always be crooks and con artists in the world pitching "get rich quick and easy". Successful people ignore them. Naive or greedy people usually get burned.
Residual income is NOT about "get rich quick", even though with the right opportunity it's possible to produce a small fortune in a relatively short time.
If you're especially talented or have the time and money to invest, you may have some success in less than a year. And many people do. But without a major investment of time or money it takes most 'typical' people a year or two of part time work to generate a decent income, and another year or two to really hit the big time. But achieving success with 2 - 4 years of part-time effort beats the widely accepted 'standard' plan of slaving 20 - 40 years working for someone else to make them wealthy!
Most people who fail at network marketing either choose the wrong company or just give up too soon and quit because they expect INSTANT results. But because the real beauty of residual income is on the back end, not the front, once you build it you have the financial security and time freedom to do anything you want the rest of your life!
The RIGHT network marketing opportunity allows anyone, with no prior experience, special skills, or large capital outlay, to build long term, passive residual income. 

A critical component to building long term residual income is offering high quality, high demand, value-priced, 'consumable' products or services that people use and re-order month after month.
Because of this simple fact, the top industry in Network Marketing by any measurable standard is Nutritional Supplements and Personal Care products. Some people refuse to consider this industry because they don't take supplements themselves or don't understand the 'Big Picture' and successful business model of this industry.
Do you think Burger King and McDonald franchise owners invest hundreds of thousands of dollars because they like to eat fast food burgers? Not hardly! They understand human nature and trends in society. We're a convenience oriented society, and a large part of the population would rather eat low cost convenience food, even if we know it's not good for us.
But there's also a booming trend toward improving your health, improving your life, and developing personal and time freedom. Many 'opportunity seekers' completely miss or ignore these trends in society. If your business is in front of multiple long term trends, you dramatically increase your chances for success.
I'm not saying it's not important to believe in and use your own products, because it is! But for true success you have to recognize major trends in society, and your products or opportunity must meet ALL the highlighted criteria above - high quality, high demand, value-priced, and 'consumable'. (And in this case, 'consumable' does not necessarily mean just 'edible'. It means used and/or re-ordered on a regular basis.)
And with the right business the rewards can be much more than just financial! It's hard to put a price tag on the goose bumps you feel or tears that come to your eyes sometimes when someone thanks you profusely for introducing them to a product that has had a major impact on their health, their life, or their financial situation.
Unfortunately some people never grasp the importance of this additional benefit. Most good people want to feel they are doing something worthwhile with their life. And it's not just about making money, even though many narrow-minded or greedy people will try to convince you it is. It's also about helping others. And doing both , can make the right business doubly rewarding!
But your business also has to have profit potential. Some 'price-based' products or services have lots of competition and limited profit potential. If you choose a business like that you have to do a lot more volume and it's hard to build loyalty, which is an important element in producing long term passive residual income.
Every successful person or business (in or out of Network Marketing) takes advantage of leverage. There's only 24 hours in a day! And no matter how talented you are or how much you get paid per hour, if you don't take advantage of leverage you're limited by the number of hours in a day. By learning to leverage your time, you can also benefit from a percentage of other people's efforts, and dramatically increase your income and freedom.
If you're reading this article on the Internet (on my website or someone else's), or in a magazine, that's one simple example of leverage. I don't have to be physically present to teach you something. I may be sleeping, or vacationing on the other side of the world while you are learning or sharing this information.
Unfortunately in most traditional businesses, the only ones who benefit from leverage are the owners or stockholders. The loyal, hard-working employees do most of the work. The unique and wonderful thing about the Network Marketing business model, is that everyone has the same opportunity to become the 'owner' of their own business - with a fraction of the investment of time and money of a traditional business or franchise.
And instead of worrying about training people to become your competitors, in network marketing the people at the top have a vested interest in helping others on their team succeed.
Again, the question I ask prospects here is:
"If you had the choice to receive 100% of one person's efforts, or 5% of 100 peoples', which would you choose?"
And again, if they answer 100%, either: 1) they're not a good prospect or, 2) they need a remedial math class or additional education.
Many talented people would rather just depend on themselves, and have difficulty grasping the importance of this concept.
Obviously 100% of one is always only one. But 5% of 100 is five. That's a 500% increase and is significant! And with synergy, sometimes it can be even more!
Not only will the total result with leverage almost always be a lot more, but your income is not dependent on only one person. If it is, and that person gets sick or injured, disabled, dies, quits working, or decides to go on a long vacation, your income could stop!
<
But if your income is produced by the activities of many, it is much more dependable. Even if something unexpected or negative happens to one or more of those people, it only has a minor effect on the total production. That's what allows people who understand and take advantage of this to live the lifestyle they choose or get paid while on extended vacations.
It's great to get paid while you're on vacation or doing other things you love! That's one of the many advantages of leveraging your time, and is just one of many reasons so many high income professionals from all walks of life are flocking to get involved in Network Marketing.
Many professionals who make great incomes, get frustrated at the 'bottom line' after putting in long hours just to cover overhead and miscellaneous expenses. No matter how much you earn per hour, if you don't learn to leverage your time, your earnings will always be limited by the number of hours you can work in a day. And nobody wants to work 24 hours! But even with a small network marketing organization, you can produce equivalent results to working 24 hours a day, with a fraction of the individual effort.
Learning to leverage your time (and money) is an important step toward gaining Financial Independence and Time freedom.
3) GEOMETRIC GROWTH - DUPLICATION - POWER OF ONE:
The best illustration I've seen of geometric growth is the penny-a-day example. It's also frequently used to illustrate the benefits of tax free compound interest.
If you start with one penny, and double it every day 30 days, how much will you have at the end of 30 days?
If you haven't heard this before or don't remember, go ahead and take a guess. Day two you'd have 2 cents; day three you'd have 4 cents, then 8, 16, and so on. How much at the end of 30 days?
I've never had anyone who hadn't heard this before come close. So don't feel bad if you don't, and I promise not to laugh. Ready? Did you pick a number?
Would you believe over FIVE MILLION DOLLARS?! ($5,368,708 to be exact!) That's right! Most people don't believe it until they punch it out on a calculator. And even then it's sometimes hard to fathom. But it's true. Isn't that amazing?
That's a simple illustration of how networking can work. If I can teach you, I've doubled myself. If we each teach someone else, we've doubled again. And as this goes on and on it can produce amazing results in a relatively short period of time, just like the penny example.
The easier your program is to do and the lower the cost to get involved, the more people you can appeal to and the more potential for geometric progression to work. Programs that are too complicated or expensive for 'average' people to do will always hinder your growth.
Great salespeople can succeed at almost anything they apply themselves to. But not many people have the talents, skills, or desire to be great salespeople. IT'S NOT DUPLICATABLE!
The Network Marking business model is about a lot of average people doing a little, not a few talented people doing a lot.
While lower cost of entry can be an advantage, many programs that are 'free', don't offer any real potential for significant income, and often attract people who aren't willing to work to build their business. So REALISTIC INCOME PRODUCING POWER is an important area to consider.
Joining a 'downline club' or any other program that promises any variation of - "we'll do everything for you" - will never produce significant LONG TERM passive residual income, because the majority of people who join are looking for a free ride or are too lazy to build anything significant. None of these programs have ever worked long term and none ever will. It's a simple fact of life successful networkers accept early on.
The penny a day example is a great model for illustration, but in 'real life' it never works exactly like that. Some people never recruit anyone, and others find 10 - 20 - 30 or more. It helps to understand human nature, and an IMPORTANT, but little known reality called REVERSE GEOMETRIC GROWTH.
Understanding this important principle is also critical to your success! If you'd like a more detailed explanation of that important concept, send me an email or give me a call letting me know you want to learn more about REVERSE GEOMETRIC GROWTH. I'll be happy to send you a VALUABLE FREE REPORT.

Despite the fact it rarely works in reality like it's illustrated on paper, the principle of GEOMETRIC GROWTH is still one of the THREE PILLARS TO SUCCESS with the RIGHT Network Marketing Business Opportunity. With the RIGHT business and these POWERFUL PRINCIPLES, even average people who are willing to work and to learn can achieve their dreams. And above average people may exceed their greatest expectations.
If you can UNDERSTAND and BELIEVE IN those three principles, and find the RIGHT company, you will succeed in Network Marketing. If you're willing to TEACH these THREE principles to a few others, the results might just amaze you!
The beauty of Network Marketing is that you can get started with very little investment of time or money, and no major changes in your present lifestyle. Eventually, passive residual income can give you the FREEDOM to live the lifestyle YOU CHOOSE, and pursue and enjoy your dreams - whatever they are!
I read somewhere that, "according to IRS statistics, in 1984 20% of NEW millionaires came from Network Marketing. By 1994 it was 50%. It's predicted that by 2004, 70 - 80% of NEW millionaires will come from the booming Network Marketing industry." I don't really believe those statistics. But no matter what the percentages are, certainly many new millionaires are created every year in the Network Marketing industry.
Many positive CHANGES have been made in the industry, and several simultaneous MEGA-TRENDS help make this the best time ever to get involved! The time to start is NOW! But it's important to pick the RIGHT company and industry!
IF YOU UNDERSTAND:
1) The IMPORTANCE of 'CONSUMABLE PRODUCTS' ... 2) The REASONS for the popularity of the Nutritional Supplement Industry... 3) The importance of high quality, high demand, value-priced, products... and 4) The principle of a 'TREND 2000' COMP PLAN ... (see my "Nine Secrets to Success..." article previously mentioned)
YOU'RE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ABOVE AVERAGE SUCCESS!
Successful Network Marketing offers many benefits: Passive Residual Income - No Boss - No Commute - No Dress Code - Income Tax Reduction - More TIME for kids, family, hobbies, or whatever is important to you - Above Average Income - and much more.
If I had to sum it up in one word it would be FREEDOM! - Freedom to work as much or as little as you want, to come and go as you please, and to spend more time doing whatever is important to you. Once you experience this FREEDOM, you'll wonder how you ever lived any other way!
There's no free lunch though. It's like riding a bike. If I asked, "Would you rather ride a bike uphill or downhill?" most normal people would say, "down." But in order to coast down the hill, you first have to ride your bike up. Once you start, you may find yourself enjoying the exercise and additional benefits of improving your strength, endurance, and health. The same is true in this business. You have to 'climb the hill' (learn the business) before you can 'coast'. Many people learn to enjoy the process of becoming better people, helping others, and improving much more than just the financial part of their lives.
There are many routes to the top of the hill. Some people choose to take a gradual incline and may take a little longer to get there. Others prefer the direct route, and choose to pedal directly up the steepest side. The beauty is, the choice is yours. We can show you the routes, and you decide what's best for you. We'll be there to encourage and guide you every inch of the way.
