			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The traditional way of working in network marketing tells you to make a list of 100 people you have known before, no matter they are close to you or someone you met once or twice in a seminar or party, and then, &#8220;Show them the plan.&#8221;</p>
<p>Most of us who have been in network marketing had been through that before. And honestly we do not want to go there again. And in the Internet age we do not need to.</p>
<p>In the Internet age, network marketing can be worked differently. You can generate your list of leads without having to make any cold call or warm call.</p>
<p>Most all network marketing companies, especially those built for the Internet, have canned websites, i.e. you will get these websites in your name. Most of these websites are generic, that is every other new representative will get a similar looking on, and these are not what you are looking for to use to build your business.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s not that these sites are not good, just that it does not have enough of your personality in them that can help you get that sign up.</p>
<p>In order to use the Internet to grow your network marketing business, you have to use the Internet as a tool. Use it with great care and good training, it is able to help you. Otherwise you can expect to be burned.</p>
<p>This is a simple list what you can use the Internet for:</p>
<p>- Generating super targeted leads just for your business.</p>
<p>- Following up with those leads as many times as it takes for them to sign up or buy something.</p>
<p>- Creating a funded proposal to pay for all your advertising.</p>
<p>- Allowing prospects to sign up for your business all by themselves (this is really fun!)</p>
<p>- Tracking all your efforts and results.</p>
<p>This is quite an abbreviated list of the options to use the Internet as a tool.</p>
<p>For this article we are going to discuss generating your own prospects.</p>
<p>How do you generate prospects?</p>
<p>It is very important to generate your own leads. Most leads that you buy from &#8220;Jack&#8217;s lead shack&#8221; have been sold several times. The people on the lead list may have opted into some generic page months ago. They are really ice-cold leads, and a waste of your time and money.</p>
<p>To generate your own leads you need a webpage of some sort to gather a prospect&#8217;s information. This is called a lead capture page. This page must catch and keep someone&#8217;s attention immediately. If you do not catch their attention within the first seven seconds they are usually gone.</p>
<p>This page then must be advertised. This is how you get the super red-hot targeted leads. It is very important to advertise specifically to your targeted market. In most cases, with the proper education you can generate these leads cheaper than you can buy super cold leads.</p>
<p>These leads are only for you. They have not been called multiple times by others who bought the same list you did. They will be more responsive to you.</p>
<p>Using the Internet you can build a relationship with these leads through email. Old age or new age, relationships are still very vital to the success of your business. Treat this step with care always.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
Dare to Dream! Continual Self Development is the Key to Success!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://iankwok.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/i-failed-mlm-why.jpg" title="Avoiding Mistakes People Make in MLM"><img src="http://iankwok.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/i-failed-mlm-why.jpg" alt="Avoiding Mistakes People Make in MLM" style="float: left" height="98" hspace="15" vspace="5" width="150" title="I Failed in MLM, Why?" /></a> </strong><strong>Avoiding Mistakes People Make In MLM</strong></p>
<p>Multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing is an ingenious marketing model &#8211; allowing people to start his own business at an acceptable affordable price.</p>
<p>In recent years MLM has been expanded and implemented online, thus bring its popularity to another level.</p>
<p>Given the popularity of MLM, many people are now the ranks of network marketers.</p>
<p>However, not many of them are succeeding in MLM.</p>
<p>This is because many of the MLMers are committing the same mistakes &#8211; falling victim to the same faults like their predecessors had.</p>
<p>What are these mistakes and how can we avoid them?<span id="more-66"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. &#8216;Get Rich Quick&#8217; Scheme</strong></p>
<p>Many people believe that MLM is a &#8216;get rich quick&#8217; scheme but in actual fact this is not the case!  Like in all businesses, you will have to work and work real hard at it before you are able to achieve success.  There is no way you are able to make any earnings while staying idle &#8211; any person who has achieved success in MLM will attest to that.</p>
<p>Hard work is necessary in multi-level marketing, be it operated online or offline.</p>
<p>Only after you have worked hard enough to build your organization can you then generate passive income from the sales generated by your down line.</p>
<p>However, that is still not good enough, you would have to ensure that you establish a group of committed downlines that share the same motivation, devotion and determination as you in order for your organization to stay competitive.</p>
<p>This may sound like a lot of hard work but the end result is that multi-level marketing is still a rewarding opportunity for anyone who is willing to put in the effort, devotion and time.</p>
<p><strong>2. Over Confidence</strong></p>
<p>Some people have the mentality that MLM is easy, this may be true for seasoned and experienced network marketers but for the rest this may not be the case.</p>
<p>It is necessary that we have certain level of confidence before we are able to make any sales for the MLM program.  We must have confidence with the product or program that we are selling before we can convince our prospect to buy from us.</p>
<p>However, being over confidence will only become an obstacle to attain success in MLM.  It will make us rest on our laurels &#8211; not making any improvements and putting in enough efforts, something which we cannot afford to happen in this line of business.</p>
<p><strong>3. Leads are Useless</strong></p>
<p>Some people feel that they do not need leads and that they are useless.  They are dead wrong!  In fact leads are the the lifeblood of any MLM.  They are your prospects and recruits!  Without them your MLM campaign is doomed to fail!</p>
<p><strong>4. Complacency</strong></p>
<p>This is another fatal assumption that many newcomers to network marketing has.  Many newcomers think that once they have generated a certain volume of leads they would be able to succeed in their campaign and they can stop looking for more leads.</p>
<p>This is not true!  Lead generation is a continual effort.  Not all the leads that you have generated will become your recruits.  What happen when you exhausted all the leads that you have?</p>
<p>In order to maintain or expand your income potentials in your MLM campaign you have to continue to look for more leads.</p>
<p><strong>5. Lack of Focus</strong></p>
<p>Some people think that they can join as many MLM program as they want so that they can generate more income from the different programs combined.  However, this is not advisable because by doing this they are spreading their effort too thin.</p>
<p>When you engage in too many programs at the same time you will not be able to concentrate all your effort to achieve success in one program.  By engaging in too many programs at the same time will only result in each one having partial or no success at all.</p>
<p>The best way to do this is to put in effort in one program, established and make it a success first before venturing to another.  You can consider it established and successful when you can earn residual income in a sustainable and substantial level.</p>
<p>Doing this you are at least ensured of income from the first program while you work on the new one.</p>
<p>Above are the common mistakes made by a lot of multi-level marketers &#8211; remember and learn from them so that you do not fall prey to them.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://iankwok.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/choosing-the-right-mlm.jpg" title="Choosing an Online MLM Program"><img vspace="5" width="102" src="http://iankwok.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/choosing-the-right-mlm.jpg" hspace="10" alt="Choosing an Online MLM Program" height="144" style="float: left" title="MLM Program, Which is the Right One?" /></a>Choosing an Online MLM Program</strong></p>
<p>In order to make the most out of an Online MLM campaign, you must first enroll yourself with the right MLM program.  But how do we know if the program is right or viable?  How to choose the right Online MLM program?  Here are 7 tips which can help you determine which program works best for you.</p>
<p><strong>1. Credibility</strong></p>
<p>As in all investment, the first and most important thing you have to do when choosing any campaign is to determine the credibility of the program / company.  Is the company reputable with years of experience under its belt?  You don&#8217;t want to work for a company only to find out later that it is a scam, do you?  Do your research before signing up &#8211; do your due diligence!</p>
<p><strong>2. Popularity</strong></p>
<p>The next thing to do is to determine the popularity of the product you are going to sell &#8211; choose a program that sells proven products for a proven market.  You don&#8217;t want to promote any product that is hard to sell!  All the marketing tactics you know in the world will not help if the product is hard to sell.</p>
<p><strong>3. Affordability</strong></p>
<p>The selling point of the product must be accessible / affordable to many people.  Success in MLM does not merely depend on the number of sales you get but on the number of recruits you are able to invite to join you.  This is important because you can only derive residual income from the recruits that join you as your downline.</p>
<p><strong>4. Belief</strong></p>
<p>You have to belief in the product that you are promoting or selling.  If you want to sell your product efficiently, you must understand your product and have confidence in its effectiveness.  If you lack confidence in your product your prospects will be able to feel it and the deal is as good as dead. </p>
<p><strong>5. Competitiveness</strong></p>
<p>A product that is highly demanded in a hungry market will work best for you &#8211; the law of supply and demand.</p>
<p><strong>6. Compensation</strong></p>
<p>Know how deep is the payment plan of MLM program.  Having put in your effort to build your organisation, you would want to earn some residual income from the program through the downline in your organisation.  This is the  commissions from the sales made by members in your organisation.  Usually this goes down to the third tier &#8211; that is you can earn from the sales generated by the members of the own line of the members of your down line.  In general, the deeper the tier system, the more profitable is the MLM program.</p>
<p><strong>7. Commission</strong></p>
<p>Know the commission rate of the program.  Although it may seem important but it is not the most critical.  This is because a MLM program may offer astronomic commission rates but if it is not sellable or highly demanded, you would not be able to realise any profit.  Thus you should not make commission rate as the primarily determining factor when looking at a MLM program.</p>
<p>A good Online MLM program would score well in all of the above tips.  However, when confronted with several choices, give yourself time to study and consider.  Evaluate your options and choose the one that best complies with the above tips and your interest.</p>
