The 10 Minute Step Article Writing Formula For Beginners

May 12th, 2008

Article marketing is a very effective way to bring traffic to your website and improve its search engine ranking, yet many marketers still don’t use it due to the difficulties they are facing when they try to produce them. Lack of inspiration, not knowing how to start and how to end and what to put in the middle, :) disability to concentrate for the necessary amount of time in order to finish it, or constant distractions as they call it, and many other problems or excuses.

I wrote before about article writing tips but today I want to talk about a new method that is suited for beginners that are entering this fascinating world. One of the biggest problems they are facing is that the writing of an article seem to them like a whole elephant they have to eat. And we all know that the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

But what elephants have to do with articles? Read the rest of this entry »

MLM As A Multi Tier Affiliate Program

May 9th, 2008

I wrote before that I consider network marketing as an affiliate program with multiple tiers or levels, but it also has a twist, something that set it apart and distinguish it while giving it more advantages at the same time. But let’s see how an affiliate opportunity, let’s say two tiered, works.

Well, someone goes and join directly to the network or through someone else’s link and his now an affiliate ready to push the product to the world. The first thing he has to do if he is a complete newb is to actually find out how to do it. Yes, I am sorry, I am afraid there is no training and no one to guide you. You have to figure it out all by yourself or spend a small fortune on courses and books that of course can’t guarantee that you would be able to succeed. Read the rest of this entry »

MLM And Entrepreneurship

May 7th, 2008

I mentioned in my last post about the great differences between network marketing and a franchise and how wrong is to try to describe our industry as a form similar to franchise. Actually we do have more in common with entrepreneurship, and the reason is that we don’t replicate a system.

That’s right, we don’t follow a system. No matter how much we boast about simplicity and “all you have to do is to follow the system”, the system itself is not enough. Multilevel marketing is about lead generation. You have to find new customers and distributors. That’s the basic concept and all the work you need to do in the beginning before you build a decent network and start concentrating on training and leading your team. Read the rest of this entry »

Multilevel Marketing Is Not A Franchise

May 5th, 2008

Although self evident to someone in the general public or the traditional business world, many times network marketers in order to describe their industry and the way they operate the describe it as a form of franchise. It’s easier to explain to someone how we operate by making such a generalization and in a way, theoretically, multilevel marketing has a similar form and function and its structure may be perceived as an enhancement of the franchise model.

But no matter how much they have in common and how parallel they seem to operate they also have huge differences that in my opinion set them as two worlds apart. Read the rest of this entry »

Contrarian Online MLM Advertising

May 2nd, 2008

Since we’ve been carried away into contrarianism at the last two posts and mention offline prospecting as an alternative to the crowded world wide web, let’s allow ourselves to delve into exploring some contrarian thinking in the field of online promotion. Yes, even there there are fads and trends within the trend and abandoned, out of the spotlight, ways and methods that you can use to get sales and new distributors.

And of course the latest craze in the circles of network marketing is nothing else but the social networks. “Just go where the people are” they say, which is more than true and sound to do so. But the problems arise when everybody and his neighbor is there, trying to do what you are doing. Read the rest of this entry »
