Are You Looking For A LongTerm Or FlyByNight Bu

Are You Looking For A LongTerm Or FlyByNight Business?

by: David Chew

I have received many emails or calls from my network marketing prospects asking me how fast they can start to see profits. My answer to them is simple, How much and How fast you earn depends on your efforts. Most of them Do not satisfy with my answer. They will argue Company Xyz guarantees I will be in profit in my first month, The Sponsor from another company guarantees me to earn Even in my first few hours

Can you really make quick money from the net? Yes you can if you are a marketing guru that has a huge list. I am talking about 10 of thousands. Or you have created A unique product that almost every online marketer needs And no other competitors yet.

If you don’t have anything that I described above then I am sorry to tell you the truth, you are not going to make Fast money. There are too many flybynight programs that are full of hypes and scams out there. กMake $3000 In 30 daysก. กEarn a residue income of $10,000 in 90 days without doing anythingก. If you are still promoting these programs, be prepared to face empty promises.

Other than being cheated, you will be wasting a lot of your efforts, money and time that can be used to build a genuine long term business. You will also destroy your valuable warm market if you get yourself involved these hyped up programs. Your friends and relatives will never trust your again. Why risk yourself? Why don’t you look for a genuine long term home based business. It will be a slow but sure process.

If you have been doing business long enough, you know the truth; there isn’t any magic formula to profit. It is your efforts and hard work that bring in those profits. The person that recruits you cannot tell you the answers; it is entirely depend on your efforts. But if you have a good mentor, your efforts will be reduced as your mentor may provide you a time tested marketing system you can copy. But if you don’t do anything, nobody can help you.

I have downlines that joined and sit down there do nothing. I spent all my efforts to motivate, teach, educate and show him literally stepbystep how to start, where to start but if he is not interested and don’t plan to do anything, he will fail.

Network marketing is a longterm business. Be prepared to have negative cash flows in the first few months. You will start seeing profits when you are able to show your downlines how to do it. It takes times, efforts, investment and dedication to build a long lasting passive income.

Many people failed in network marketing not because the business or compensation plans are bad, they failed because they are looking for quick profits; they want to see profits even in the first month. Once they don’t see any profits in the first 2 months, they will quit and jump to 2nd program. The cycle continues. After failing many programs, they will simply quit the internet world.

If you want to succeed in network marketing, you need

(1) To spend efforts, time and money

(2) A mentor showing you stepbystep what to do

(3) To have a reliable company that exists at least 4 years. Those hypedup and scam companies won’t last for more than 2 years. So 4 years should be able to screen out most of them

(4) To have a duplicable marketing system that you and your downlines can use

(5) To have products that have public appeal and will be able to help everyone.

If you are still searching for the perfect company, I highly recommend you check out my website for the company I am involved http://www.eliteteampro.com

So, before you join the next network marketing company, go through the checklist above see whether your new potential company meet those criteria or not. If you cannot pass through the list, be prepared to have disappointment.

Whatกs Wrong With Your Promotions ?

Whatกs Wrong With Your Promotions ?

by: Larry Johnson

How many times have you been frustrated with your promotion efforts online ?

Letกs face it…most folks working online are amateurs when it comes to promotion. They simply don’t come to the internet prepared with the tools, experience and background in advertising and promotion.

The learning curve can be pretty steep when it comes to learning to promote effectively. There is a wealth of information and resouces availabe. In fact there are some many helpful sites and resources that it is very easy to become confused with the whole process.

Searching the internet for promotion resources provides you with lots of sites and gurus who will promise you the moon in exchange for your hardearned dollars.

Finding a few dependable sites and trusted webmasters who will act as a mentor in your learning process is one good tactic to consider.

Personally, I have developed a small group of allies online with whom I can discuss problems, find answers and bounce my ideas off.

You will discover that the old adage, กNever get in a hurry to buy or sell.ก, is still true today. You can easily run out of money buying this and that amazing promotional gimmick, software, service or product.

There is plenty to buy online, but there are tons of fr*e resources available too.

While the learning curve for learning to promote effectively online is a steep one, you can do it with some determination and with little damage to your pocketbook by being selective in the resources you choose to use.

Where will your promotional efforts be one year from now? Will you still be doing the same olก thing ? Or are you now ready to put into practice a plan of action that will bring you some great results ?

Best of luck with your promotional efforts.

Make More Money with Marketing Metrics

Make More Money with Marketing Metrics

by: Jeremy Cohen

Do you measure the results of your marketing tactcis? You should. Knowing which marketing endeavors pay dividends will save you time, money and effort by allowing you to focus your marketing budget on tactics that work. Learn how to measure the effect of your marketing efforts to make more money.

Do you know how effective each of your individual marketing tactics is? Many small business owners market in a vacuum. They spend money on brochures, advertisements and web sites with no real way to tie specific results to specific endeavors.

If you are unable to associate leads and sales with the specific marketing efforts that generate them you have no way of knowing what is working as an effective marketing mechanism and what is not.

The money you invest in marketing your company is precious. In order for you to maximize your marketing dollars you need to know the results individual marketing efforts generate. When you know the results of your marketing tactics you can make intelligent decisions about how to better allocate your marketing budget.

For instance, if you concurrently run a direct mail campaign, a search engine advertising campaign and weekly ads in industry periodicals without some method to discern results you will not know which effort generates the lions share of any new business.

If you don’t know that your direct mail campaign yielded 90% of your revenue with a 2% response rate, you are powerless to make the wise decision to reinvest in the direct mail campaign and make changes to or drop entirely the other campaigns. What’s more, if you can figure out how to double the response rate of your mail campaign, you can nearly double the revenue your marketing campaign without spending money on search engine marketing and periodical advertisements.

Measuring your marketing results will help you save money by allowing you to eliminate unproductive marketing tactics and at the same time, will help you make more money by allowing you to reinvest in productive marketing tactics.

Do you have a method for measuring the effect of your marketing?

Here are four tips for gathering the information you need to make wise marketing investment decisions.

Use a Database

Start by designing a database to keep track of individual marketing efforts and the leads and sales they generate. Make sure you include fields to track the dates of your campaigns, campaign descriptions, the number of leads generated and sales made. Once you have a central storage location for this information you will be able to make queries to glean the information you need to make wise marketing decisions.

Ask Questions

When you or your staff speaks with a prospect on the phone make sure you ask how they heard of your business; was it a referral or an ad in the local newspaper? It’s such simple way to gather valuable information many small business owners overlook it.

Be sure to ask your prospects how they heard of your business.

Make It Easy for Your Prospect to Help You

Make it easy for your prospects to properly identify the marketing piece to which they respond. If you have multiple phone lines into your office you can easily accomplish this by assigning a unique phone number to individual marketing efforts. This way, you or a staff member can ask what number your prospect dialed or, if you have the right phone system you can look at the phone to see which line the call is on.

Data Entry Should Be Easy Too

Once you or a staff member have garnered the information you seek from your prospect, make it as easy as possible to have this information to be entered into your database system. If you employ a staff, make certain everyone is up to speed on your latest systems. Training is a must.

Move Your Marketing Forward

The idea is to gather as much information as you can about which marketing mechanisms generate the best (and worst) response, who is responding and why they chose to respond.

Once you have this information you will be better able to think like a future client, cater your marketing material to their needs and generate more leads and sales.

What are some other steps you can take to measure the effect of your marketing efforts?
