Rain Nutrition Quick Overview
Rain Nutrition is a new MLM beverage company that launched in 2009. Their products contain some of the highest antioxidant levels in any drink product and are more powerful than any superfood known to man. Their two core products are Rain Soul and Rain Rush. Rain Soul is the flagship product and Rain Rush is an energy drink. The science behind Rain has been around for 20 years but Rain Nutrition is the first to actually formulate a product for human consumption based on this exact science.
Rain Nutrition has chosen the MLM or network marketing vehicle to reach consumers. MLM has become a popular way for many new healthy juices and drinks to market their products. The MLM model involves selling products to your friends and family and then recruiting them as distributors. As new distributors reach out to their contacts they can sponsor them as reps and sell products and a duplication process begins.
Rain Nutrition marketing is flawed as with most MLM’s
Here is the problem. The type of marketing taught in MLM doesn’t work for 96% of the people in the industry. These methods may have worked in the past for a higher percentage of people but in today’s market they have become very ineffective.
Rain Nutrition lays out their marketing plan on their web page. Below is a list of activities they recommend to new sales reps. They call this duplication.
#1 Find your WHY
I actually agree with number one. No matter what business endeavor you choose to do you need to find a motivation deep down inside of you that is going to drive you to become a winner. You will not succeed without this desire and drive.
#2 Go Core
This is Rain’s way of saying be committed to your success. This is another good quality to have when starting a new business. You will not grow a business without commitment.
#3 Make A Contact List
Ok, this is where Rain Nutrition slides into a scenario where people start having difficulties. First of all Rain Nutrition preaches duplication. How can someone who knows a total of 50 people duplicate a person who has over 1,000 business and sales contacts? Obviously the person with 1,000 quality contacts has an advantage over the one with few contacts. Duplication does not exist when it comes to people because everyone is different and everyone knows different kinds of peopl
#4 Expand Your Warm Market
This is where Rain tells you to contact everyone you have ever made contact with. They recommend your church, your community, facebook and other social networks. I can tell you that I get emails everyday from people on facebook telling me to check out their business and guess what? They are all different businesses and they all claim to be the best. This type of training does nothing but create a bunch of noise in the market and yields few results. Your warm list of people you know is not the best list to contact and going on facebook to blast your opportunity out to people doesn’t work either. However, this is a great way to lose a lot of friends.
Picture this
“Hmmm… Let me see. I think I will call aunt Helen who is 89 years old and talk her into selling my products. Or maybe uncle Fred. He has always liked me and will do it if I ask. I’m sure he won’t get mad if he makes zero dollars and spends a whole months worth of pay on products.”
Am I making sense? The people you should be talking to are people who are self motivated and have a drive to hang in there even when it requires and excruciating amount of work. You might have some firends or family that are perfect for your business but most people only have a few if any.
#5 Invite and Follow Up
This means drag your friends and family to an opportunity meeting where they will get a huge dose of hypnotism and be worked over for a sale. Have you ever experienced one of those timeshare presentations? They lure you in with a free vacation and then try to sell you a $40,000 timeshare. Those guys won’t leave you alone. Would you purposely drag your Grandmother or best friend to one of those? Wrong wrong wrong. That’s the wrong strategy and the wrong people to try to sponsor.
#6 Utilize The Right Tools
Get ready to spend some money! You can buy a company DVD, brochures, flyers, business cards and a replicated website. These are all very ineffective ways to market and the cost is not worth the return. I have never known anyone to make any real money from a replicated website. In fact replicated websites drive more people away than make sales. If you are marketing this online I can promise you people have already seen a website exactly like yours several times. It doesn’t work PERIOD.
#7 Host a Party
Now here’s an idea. Why not host a party? You can buy a bunch of food and set out a bunch of product and invite who? You guessed it! Invite all your friends and family over for a selling party. How many people ever really want to go to these? They know they will feel obligated to buy something. Again this is not an effective way to market and you are taking advantage of your relationships to make a buck.
#8 Attend and Invite
This is where you invite your team and prospects to a large opportunity meeting where guest speakers will teach, train and help you sponsor new reps. These are actually very effective once you have the right people to plug in. The problem is getting the right people there.
The Rain Nutrition marketing system is flawed. They may have great products but as with all MLM and network marking companies they have not developed a system of duplication. A warm list runs out quickly and you are left with no practical way to build you business. What you must understand is this is a “marketing” business. No marketing equals no leads and no leads equals no sales. Without marketing you simply can not build the massive organization you wish to build.
Right before your very eyes there is a revolution taking place. This revolution is called The World Wide Web. The internet is opening doors to people that have never had an opportunity to reach the masses. This juggernaut of information has made it possible for people to literally create fortunes from their home office. Over the past few years some of the brightest minds have been developing ways to grow their MLM businesses online. They have done this without the warm list, without cold calling, without home parties, without flyers and brochures and without telling everyone on facebook to check out their replicated site..
I’m not knocking Rain Nutrition for their marketing strategies because up until now that is all that has been known. However, there is a new and better way and the future is bright with promise for those who take action today. Internet marketing is still a baby and if you can grab hold now you will be in for a wild and thrilling ride. I reach out to Rain Nutrition and all the other MLM’s out there. The times they are a changing and it’s time to open your mind to the wave of the future. If you are looking for a change in your MLM business and a change in your life then Fill in the form below.

The ACN Video Phone is state-of-the-art technology but why is their marketing strategy "Old School" like something out of the stone age? Can’t ACN get up to speed with current marketing techniques?
ACN began in 1993 and has grown into the world’s largest direct selling telecommunications company. Their products range from the ACN video phone to wireless service and wireless phone to long distance service. Their best known product is the ACN video phone that allows users to connect via video and voice communication.
ACN has jumped on the home business bandwagon. They rely on the network marketing model to promote and sell their products. Basically their approach is to move their products through a network of independent representatives who make sales by sharing the business and products with people they know also known as their "Warm List" of friends and family.
This way of marketing has thrust ACN to the front of the line in their industry. Network marketing has been a lucrative way to sell products since 1949 and has become the marketing arm for a very diverse range of products. It seems today that anything and everything is being sold through MLM.
ACN is doing well but I do have an issue with them. With all of the state-of-the-art technology such as the video phone and the other high tech gadgets and service they offer you would think that they would embrace the same kind of technology in their marketing.
First I should state that I am a professional network marketer and I use current marketing practices such as the internet to grow my business. As I mentioned, ACN uses the MLM approach but teaches their distributors old school selling techniques. What many folks fail to understand is the old silly idea of chasing your friends and family and making a warm list is quickly fading away and has already become very ineffective in building a large team of distributors. This is why 97% of the people who join MLM fail to make any real money.
Let me illustrate this for you. Think for a moment about a business. Let’s use a pizza shop for example. If you owned a pizza shop and you told all of your friends and family about it then I’m sure your friends and family would stop by once every few weeks to buy a pizza. That might sound great but what about the days when your friends and family don’t want pizza. On these days they won’t stop in and you won’t make any sales. My point is you need more that just your friends and family to grow a business. In fact you need a steady flow of customers every day to grow any business that relies on retailing products.
This concept also applies to network marketing. ACN teaches you to make a warm list of everyone you know and then invite them to a business meeting where they will be presented with an ACN phone overview and a presentation on the compensation plan. This may work for a short time but what happens when you run out of people to talk to? Your business begins to die due to lack of prospects. Very few people have a large enough network of contacts to keep them in business for any length of time. The only way to continue the growth in your business is to do marketing and attract new prospects every single day.
One of the most powerful ways to market a business is to market online. All businesses are using the power of the internet to reach potential customers. The odd and amazing thing about ACN is they discourage their reps from using the internet to grow their business. I know this first hand because I have conversed with many ACN reps who told me that their upline told them that using the internet to find leads was a waste of time. This is completely untrue. Reps on my team are generating a huge supply of online leads every day to the point that they have more than they can talk with.
You would think that a company like ACN that has a high tech video phone would consider using current technology to grow their business. Instead they teach a backward, outdated style from the stone ages and ignore the fact that most of their reps are making very little money. So I raise the question, “Why not teach your reps how to market so they can grow their business and earn a healthy income?” I suspect that the leaders at ACN don’t understand how to use the internet and are afraid of it.
I shouldn’t pick on ACN because this is an industry wide problem. Most MLM companies do not teach marketing. If you think chasing your friends and family is marketing then you are dead wrong. When you have marketing in place the leads call you and chase you down. It’s a completely different approach than what is taught in the MLM industry. It’s time for the industry to get caught up with current times.
I teach people how to market their business online and have found that this is the best way to generate a flow of prospects that will allow you to build a huge business over time. See below for more information on my marketing techniques and how you can harness the power of the internet and literally grow your business on auto-pilot. This will work for ACN or any other network marketing business you choose to build.

Before you join MLM Lead System Pro aka MLSP there are some things you should consider.
I have been a user of this marketing system since the very month it launched back in September 2008. I have watched first hand while this marketing system evolved over time and quickly become the leading attraction marketing system anywhere in the world. I am currently one of the top 5 lead generators with MLSP.
The founders of MLM Lead System Pro are Todd Schlomer, Norbert Orlewicz and Brian Fanale. Originally this trio had developed MLSP to teach and train their personal downline to market online through the attraction marketing technique. They had such great success with their personal business that they decided to open their marketing system up to everyone involved in MLM and network marketing. Thus was the birth of MLM Lead System Pro.
MLSP now has network marketers all over the globe using the system to grow their businesses. MLSP continues to improve the system and help it’s members increase their conversion rate into their primary MLM business. Recent changes have been the L-leadership levels and the opportunity to reach a car bonus. These extra bonuses you get with MLSP are in addition to the ongoing marketing training. If your desire is to learn internet marketing then I know of no better source than MLM Lead System Pro.
Here are 5 reasons to join MLM Lead System Pro
Marketing Training and Lead Generation
Not only does MLSP have the best online marketing resources you will find on the net but they continue to bring out new content every single week. Every Wednesday MLSP does a training webinar for all of their members and guest. Each and every week the call is maxed out with thousands of listeners. The key here is to teach you how to market online and generate the massive leads to build your business. In addition to the weekly training calls MLSP has a full library of online training videos that take you step by step and show you how to market online. The value and content here is unheard of in the MLM industry.
Multiple Streams of Income
Built within the system is what is called “The Funded Proposal” This is what top network marketers have been doing since the beginning of MLM. Basically the funded proposal is a way to make additional money outside of your MLM business. For example MLSP pays it’s members an affiliate commission on all of their personal members. This can put a member in profit immediately as they build a long term residual income. There are over 15 different ways MLSP member’s can make additional income through the system. This keeps your team retention rate up because they are making real money.
Building a List
List building is essential to any online business. All companies that market online to this in some fashion. You may even have a website provided by your MLM company where your prospects can leave their name, phone number and email address. The big difference with MLSP is when you capture your prospects information it is owned entirely by you. With other company web sites the system gets your leads. MLSP does not have access to your auto-responder so your leads are owned by you and only you. Why is this so great you might ask? Because the power is in the list. When you have a list of substantial size you have a marketing vehicle that will continue to pay you over and over again. A list of around 10,000 can create a six figure income all on it’s own. You will learn how to do this with MLSP.
Branding You
Many people miss this in MLM. Take a moment and think about the leaders in your MLM. What are they promoting? THEMSELVES. That’s correct. All top MLM leaders promote themselves. MLM Lead System Pro is designed to do this for YOU through their custom landing pages. The templates are already in place so you don’t have to do any programming. All you do is customize it with your content and instantly you are in business branding you. We also do training on how to maximize this through social networks. The sky is the limit with MLSP and Self Branding.
Drives Prospects Directly To Your MLM Business
That’s exactly what MLSP is designed to do. After everything the system does to promote you, generate leads and put immediate cash in your pocket it is after all a system to drive leads directly to your primary network marketing business. In fact your prospects will be exposed to your business multiple times without you lifting a finger and it’s all done on auto-pilot.
MLM Lead System Pro is designed for the serious networker who wants an abundance of leads to grow his/her business. I hope this article helps you understand what MLSP is and what it does. Thank you for reading my article and please contact me if you want further details.

What is Attraction Marketing?
The first thing you need to know is attraction marketing is not a new concept. It’s a very old concept with a new name. Attraction marketing has been in existence since people started influencing other people. Why is it some people become a famous actor or actress? Why is it some people rise to power and leadership?
The reason is because some people are better at attracting other people. Certain people have developed a leadership skill set or they have mastered the art of connecting with others. Some people are just born with a natural way of connecting and attraction others. Don’t be discouraged, however, because attraction qualities can be learned with practice.
Simply put the attraction marketing definition is the concept of creating a desire or interest in someone by relating to them through written word, through voice and visually.
I like to study T.V. ads and watch how the commercials try to connect with people. Often times a T.V. ad will show a celebrity using their product. They do this because they know a huge part of our population are connected to this celebrity and by associating the celebrity with their product they will cause people to buy their product. This is a perfect example of attraction marketing.
Another example is a T.V. ad showing a couple snuggled up by a warm fire in their cozy little room with snow blowing outside their window. Each of them are holding a warm steaming cup of hot chocolate. Sitting next to them on the end table is a canister of the hot chocolate mix the advertiser is trying to sell. You see what they are doing. They are painting a picture of a happy couple feeling warm and toasty while they drink hot chocolate. This is another form of attraction marketing.
Attraction marketing is connecting with your audience. People who become the most successful in sales or business are great at attraction marketing. One of the things you do in sales is to connect and relate to your prospect before you close the sale. This is an important part of the sales process because you need to build a bridge of connection first to gain the trust of the buyer.
Attraction and connection is vital in society and it plays a gigantic role in business. All successful businesses have used some form of attracting in their marketing. Another way to put it is attracting customers. Instead of beating the street and knocking on doors you are attracting customers to you. In other words they call you and knock on your door.
So what is meant by the term attraction marketing and how can you use it in your business?
Attraction marketing today has been springing up all over the internet. People are re-creating themselves through attraction marketing. You can see this all over the net through video, social networks, blogs and the like. The internet has leveled the playing field for many folks because the cost is so low. Before the internet it was very expensive to do attraction marketing. It took money and lots of it to produce a video or a brochure and get it out to the masses. Today and with the internet you can have a personal webpage with your pictures, video and story blasted out to the masses at practically no cost. Lots of people are using attraction marketing to promote themselves. The people that do this correctly are creating fortunes online. It all really comes down to how well you market yourself. Many people are trying to market a product or a company and they are getting nowhere. It’s real simple. Just market you and you will find success.
Here is one final point. It’s important to be yourself. People are attracted to different people for different reasons. It’s funny how often I am told that I remind people of an uncle or a brother or a friend. People are relating to me on different levels.
A perfect example is the T.V. show American Idol. Isn’t it amazing that someone you think stinks at singing stays on week after week. Now think about the show. What are they doing? Not only do the contestants sing but they conduct interviews, they show video and they tell a story about the person. This is precisely why some contestants stay on even when they can’t sing. There are obviously lots of people out there who think they are great and it’s called attraction marketing.

Maakoa is a new pre-launch network marketing company. Their flagship product is Koopuwa a healthy juice designed to compete with Monavie, Xango, Juice Plus and others. Not only does Koopuwa taste great but it’s packed with Anti-oxidants, B1, B2 and B3 (Niacin) vitamins, and essential amino and fatty acids.
If you are considering joining Maakoa here are some things you need to consider. As with nearly all MLM business models the key element to driving sales is sponsoring new reps and setting them up on an auto-ship program. As a rep you will be required to automatically buy Maakoa products each month to qualify for commissions. This can become very costly especially when you are not making money in the beginning and it’s the #1 reason why most reps drop out before 90 days.
The typical training you will receive is to create a warm list of friends and family and call them to schedule a visit to their home or a visit to and opportunity meeting. Other training will be to prospect strangers, make flyers, business cards and buy opportunity leads.
Here is the problem.
Once you get through your warm list of friends and family and spend a ton of money on worthless opportunity leads that yield little or no sales you are left with nowhere to turn. Who are you going to call now?
Bottom line is these out dated silly pitch and chase methods DO NOT WORK!
What you need to understand is that you are involved in a Network “Marketing” company. The key word is MARKETING. When you are chasing friends and family and making cold calls what you are doing is Sales and not Marketing. You are basically just a sales rep making the company money and not YOU. When you have a Marketing System or a Marketing Program in place you don’t need to worry about where your prospects are coming from. You will have a steady flow of prospects coming in each day and your business will continue grow and ramp up each month.
If you want success in Maakoa or any network marketing company it is essential that you have a business plan and marketing system in place.
Don’t end up like the 97% of failures out there who lack quality leadership and severely lack marketing training. There is an easier and better way.
If you have the ability to learn and have a determined attitude then all you are lacking is the tools and knowledge.

Yoli and the Yoli – Blast Cap is soon to emerge. Do we really need another MLM drink company honking their horn and claiming to be the next best super drink?
Hello friend and welcome to yet another network marketing juice drink called Yoli. Have you heard about Yoli and their Blast Cap? When is it all going to end with these drink companies? Can all of these different companies really compete?
Yoli and the Yoli – Blast is the latest and greatest MLM launch in 2009 offering a health drink. Their product is called Yoli and the Yoli Blast Cap which delivers the perfect, most powerful, and freshest preservative free ingredients to be found anywhere. They have a nifty comp plan and a crisp clean look to their web site along with some great leaders in the industry and will certainly capture a large market share. They have done an excellent job of making their company look different and unique.
But here is my beef and I’m not picking on Yoli or their Blast Cap.
It seems every few months a new pre-launch starts with the latest and greatest everyhting. They all claim to have the best product, the best comp plan and the best leadership. More and more companies are emerging and jumping on the MLM bandwagon.
There is a lot of confusion out there.
If you search the web you will find MLM companies selling everything from juice and vitamins to cell phone service and energy for your home. This has created a huge problem in the industry. Everyone is trying to out scream the competition and people are jumping ship every day looking for the next Holy Grail in home business.
In the current network marketing environment retention is horrible. I have watched downlines of hundreds of people disintegrate in under 30 days because a leader decided to switch companies. Incomes that have taken years to build are evaporating overnight.
Yoli as with other start up’s usually see a huge spurt of growth in the beginning until the real test comes along. This real test is Retention Rate. Will people stick around even if a new MLM with a new product starts up next month and entices them to join? Or will they be like others trying to promote 5 or 6 different companies with no success in any of them?
Let’s talk briefly about what happens to the typical MLM prospect. They are often convinced to sit in on an opportunity meeting where a very influential speaker gets up to talk. This is unusually someone who has had a great amount of success. Several testimonies are given and after about an hour or so of brainwashing the prospect is directed back to their sponsor with money signs flashing in their eyes ready to join the opportunity.
After arriving at home that evening the new home business owner suddenly realizes they have no idea how to grow their business. They are taught to contact their family and friends and work through their warm list. They might sign up a few reps or they might not but what they soon discover is that they have run out of people to talk too.
What happens next is very typical.
The rep works really hard for about 30 to 60 days but is getting nowhere. Meanwhile one of his two newly sponsored members quits and cancels their auto-ship. The frustrated rep starts to buy leads but again is disappointed because the expensive leads turn out to be worthless. After about another 30 days the rep throws in the towel and decides it must have been a bad product so he goes in search of the next business opportunity. What a crazy cycle to be on.
You will find a similar story with Yoli and their Blast Cap. There is nothing out of the ordinary about Yoli from other MLM’s. They have repackaged a business plan with yet another great health product. The results with Yoli will be the same as with other home business opportunities you have seen before. This is nothing against Yoli it is just the facts.
There is however a solution to this madness and this solution will make a difference for you in Yoli or whatever network marketing business you decide to build.
It’s ironic that we call this industry Multi-Level “Marketing” or Network “Marketing” when no one actually teaches marketing.
Let me illustrate this a little…
Suppose you owned an ice-cream store and you told all your friends and family about it. Maybe some of them came in and bought your ice-cream cones throughout the week. But imagine if those were your only customers. Imagine you didn’t have a steady flow of customers walking in the door every single day. How long do you think your business would last? Now let’s imagine you have a marketing plan in place. People are seeing information about your business and are drawn to your delicious ice-cream. Everyday you have a steady stream of devoted fans dying to get theirs hands on your ice cream. Now that’s a business.
The key is MARKETING folks. When you put the “Marketing” into network marketing you get results. In fact you will have people calling you and chasing you down eager to join your business when you do it right. And when you talk about retention look out! Once you teach others to duplicate “Marketing” you will keeps lots of happy members in your downline.
For all of the Yoli and other distributors out there you must know that there is an easier and better way. You can blast your business to a new level. There is no cap on what you can do.

Yes it’s true that Donald Trump has joined network marketing.
Believe it or not Donald Trump has his own MLM company called The Trump Network. Who would have ever imagined that Donald Trump real estate mogul and business man would ever participate in MLM and Network Marketing? Isn’t MLM considered to be a pyramid scam? Has Donald Trump lost his mind?
The truth of the matter is Donald Trump is a genius and The Trump Network is positioned to become one of the fastest growing businesses in the industry. What Donald knows is that when times are tough you need to diversify. He is fully aware of our current economic situation and he intends to capitalize on it.
When One Industry Fails Another Takes Off
History has shown us that when certain industries decline others thrive. Back in the 90’s when the real estate industry was seeing difficult times network marketing exploded. That’s when a stampede of entrepreneurs entered the MLM arena. Donald Trump knows history repeats itself and is positioned for the next big explosion of growth in MLM. Look at our current real estate condition. Look at all of the business professionals out of work. The MLM industry is poised to explode with growth as these folks migrate into home business opportunities.
That is why Donald Trump formed The Trump Network. Trump Network is a network marketing company that sells vitamins and health products not unlike other MLM companies in the industry. Donald also knows that there is one very important element that has changed the face of network marketing from what it was in the 90’s and that is the internet.
Network marketing has always been a belly-to-belly face-to-face business. However, today we have the internet and the ability to meet people all over the world with just a click of a mouse. When you are online your business is global. Many MLM companies already hold a worldwide presence and are moving their products all over the planet. In the past you had you warm list of friends and family and co-workers. Today network marketer’s have the ability to sponsor people all over the world. Imagine sponsoring a new rep in Australia who you met in a social network online. The possibilities are endless.
So don’t think Donald Trump and The Trump Network is crazy. The industry as a whole is on the brink of erupting with growth on a global range. Donald Trump understands this and has staked his claim.

Internet Marketing Strategies Tips For The Newbie
Intro to Internet Marketing Strategies
This article will layout simple internet marketing strategies that will allow the newbie to find quick success online.
With so much noise out there on the internet it’s difficult to determine what works and what doesn’t. Everyone is trying to scream louder than the others and of course everyone claims to have the best system, tool or method. When it comes to internet marketing strategies I am no going to boast about a certain product but what I hope to provide in this article is a simple formula that a newbie can put together and begin the process of taking their online business to a new level.
Below are 5 parts of a formula that when combined together make for a very powerful lead and sales conversion strategy.
Internet Marketing Strategies #1 BRAND YOURSELF
Branding yourself online is essential to internet marketing strategies. People buy from people or organizations they like. When you brand yourself you are creating a connection with your prospect. Once you prospect feels this connection they are more likely to buy from you. You can do this with a short story about yourself or even a video. This is not a sales pitch but a short auto-biography of who you are and what you do. This is a very powerful way to connect with your prospect and ultimately increase your sales.
Internet Marketing Strategies #2 LIST BUILDING
List building is the art of capturing a prospect’s information from your web page. When a prospect visits your web page you should provide an opt-in form for them to fill in. You can make them a special offer such as a free e-book or a subscription to your newsletter for filling in the form. This builds your database of potential customers and is an essential part of all internet marketing strategies
Internet Marketing Strategies #3 MULTIPLE OFFERS
Many online businesses have a high end product. However not all people who visit your website will make a high end purchase. By offering lower cost supplemental products you can increase overall sales and cover much of your marketing costs. For example your main product might be an 8 set DVD business coaching course that retails for $995. Along side your high ticket item you could make a smaller offer for a downloadable e-book on “5 Steps To Increasing Your Leadership Skills” for $29.95. This will appeal to the person who is interested in your high ticket item but would like to find out a little more first before they jump in and buy the big ticket.
Internet Marketing Strategies #4 SALES FUNNEL
Once you have captured your prospects information you can begin a drip campaign through an email auto-responder also known as a “Sales Funnel”. As stated before building a list is an essential part of all internet marketing strategies and is extremely powerful. The wonderful thing about your sales funnel is it continues to work for you day in and day out when you are out to dinner, at the movies and even on vacation. The sales funnel becomes your sales robot and can automate the sales aspect of your business. The idea behind the sales funnel is to provide value to your subscribers and continue to make your product offer.
Internet Marketing Strategies #5 MONETIZING YOUR LIST
This is the final step in maximizing your sales online. Monetizing your list can make you a ton of income outside of your main business or product. A healthy list of around 10,000 subscribers can produce an easy $100,000 per year income when done properly. Many online marketing professionals do this through affiliate programs. Affiliate programs offer a wide range of products that appeal to just about everyone. For example you could become an Amazon.com affiliate and sell a book to your subscriber’s that pertains to the interest of your list. I am in the lead generating business and I often offer tools to my list that will help them generate more leads. The key is to make sure you provide quality content and offers. A list is to be valued and not abused.
These 5 steps are the formula or blueprint used by most professionals and can be adapted to just about every business. Hopefully this article has inspired you and offers you some direction to get your business off to a better start.

The #1 Problem with the network marketing industry is people buy on emotion and then are left stranded with no practical means to build their business…
Most people don’t enter a network marketing business with the needed marketing experience to produce MLM leads week after week and day after day. The mass of prospects usually attend an opportunity meeting where they are emotionally mesmerized by a fluent speaker who has achieved great success in his business. Several testimonies are produced and after and hour of brainwashing the new prospect is led back to their MLM sponsor with dollar signs rolling around in their head often times eager and ready to join the business.
Once the new member gets home and the ether wears off they soon come to the realization that they have no idea how to start selling their opportunity. They are told by their sponsor to start with their “warm market” and call all of their friends and family. They are told to create a memory jogger list of everyone they know from their doctor to their trash man and add them to their MLM leads list. They are then encouraged to contact each of these leads and invite them to an Opportunity Meeting. Unfortunately, for most, this will not produce the amazing results promised in the well tailored presentation.
Simply put the warm list is not a good source for Network Marketing Leads. Sadly, for the new member, most if not all of these prospects will not join the business. Some might jump in for a time but quickly drop out because of their own lack of marketing knowledge. The new MLMer is left with little or no business. “It’s OK” they are told. Just hang in there things will get better, buy this book, buy this cd, you just have to BELIEVE more. In the end there is still miserable results, no profits and no new network marketing leads.
In the meantime their sponsor isn’t doing much better. The seasoned MLM rep has had to become a recruiting machine. He is like a hamster on a wheel running and running but getting nowhere. As 2 or 3 new members join his business 2 or 3 drop out. The cycle is endless. He has watched one leg of his downline disintegrate overnight. Hoped for bonuses are lost as autoships are canceled. “When am I going to get paid what I deserve”, he often wonders. The truth is that the efforts of one person are not easily duplicated in the MLM business.
Network Marketing is now a MARKETING BUSINESS and no longer sharing business. With so many different opportunities entering the playing field people are left bouncing from business to business looking for the Holy Grail. They do this because there is a severe lack of marketing training in MLM’s. If people were only taught the right way and the smart way to market their opportunity they would stick with their company. The bottom line is if you do not have a System to drive a stampede of leads to your business every single day then you will lose your shirt in this industry. The system also needs to be easily duplicated and able to be passed on to your downline so they can produce the same results.
