Went swimming yesterday at Julies parents house. Julie is my girlfriend, soon to be fiance. So we were swimming at her folks house and hers sister was there wither her 5 hear old son Wily. He’s just learning to swim without his floaties on yesterday his courage soared. His father Johnny and I were trying to teach him to dive head first into the pool.
For his first try I was standing in the water and he got out of the water with his floaties till on. He stood on the side of the pool looking at us. He had a divers mask on and he was ready.
Since it was his first try, I remember thinking to myself “he’s probably gonna do a cannon ball”
We gave him the count. One, two, three.
To my complete surprise little Willy struck his arms straight out and dove into the water like superman. He hit the water with a loud slap. It was an amazing belly flop. I know that it must have stung, but he didn’t bat an eye. Within a few moments he was back out and trying again.
I was so impressed. He showed tremendous courage.
It made me realize that many times all it takes to become successful in something is the courage to take that first leap. Maybe things won’t work out exactly like you wanted them to, but then you just get back up, make some adjustments and try again.
If you have not yet found the success in your business that you want. Is there something holding you back? Have you been hesitating because of fear?
Well take it from little Willy. Go for it. You might do a little belly flop, but that’s ok. You can try again. And again, then eventually you will get it right.
One more thing to mention is that Willy had us there. Meaning that he had his father and me to coach him. We showed him a bunch of times how to dive in the water before he ever gave it a try. I’m sure it would have taken him much longer to do it all on his own.
Do you have a good role model or system to follow?
Most likely by now you know the system that I use in my business. If you are not using a any kind of systematic processes in your business then you are most likely going to belly flop for a long time before you get it right.
Grab a copy of Warp-Speed MLM success and find out the system I use as well as the 3 step process that just makes everything extremely easy.
Until next time, have lot’s of fun.

It’s time for some straight talk about your MLM Business and the importance of an MLM Blog. If you are truly building your business, I mean if it’s something that you are really want to see happen. Then you have to include a blog in your business model. It is no longer an option but an absolute must. The world is rapidly changing. The way we communicate,
the way we exchange information, the way we do pretty much everything has changed and is changing more and more each day.
Youtube
It was just a few years ago that we had never heard of any of these. Now it seems that many people can’t function without them. The world is not spinning any faster but the speed and which technology is growing doubles each year.
I recently heard that the fastest computers right now process information as fast as the human brain. In 10 years computers will process information 500 times faster than the human brain.

When it comes to your mlm business there are so many new strategies available to you to help you build your business quickly easily and effectively. Using a blog is a must because of the exposure that it can offer you. Exposure that you can get for free. Not only is blogging a way for you to stay in communication with your team, but it can also help you to attract people to your team, cause or tribe from all across the globe.
Blogs are very easy to set up and connect to other social media outlets.
You can use your blog to generate leads for your MLM as well. By providing solid information surrounding certain quality key words like (mlm blog) you will get ranked in the organic search engines bringing you free traffic. Then by offering something of value to prospects you will begin generating leads. If you stay focused, this strategy alone could generate you 40 leads per day.

Maybe you’ve been looking for an opportunity for a while because your more the analytical type and take your time before making decisions. Or maybe your a true gunslinger, a true, ready fire aim kind of person and have already been in a few opportunities with no luck so far in generating a real income from home. Well, whatever your situation is I
would like to help you when it comes to sorting through MLM opportunities and choosing something that will work for you.
The first thing to consider when looking at getting involved with an MLM is understand the difference between a network marketing company and a direct sales company. In many ways they are the same but they also have some key differences.
With a network marketing company you primary goal should be to build a large team of people underneath you over time. These people will be looking to do the same that you are doing. Mainly offering whatever your companies product or service is to the market place and generating commissions. This can either be done directly to consumers who are only interested in purchasing products. Or to other networkers who are also looking for an additional income stream.
With regards to a network marketing company. Some of the things you want to look for are.
1. A quality product. (Perhaps one that you might use anyway)
2. Company age. I’ve seen companies come and go. It’s tough for a new company to get over the 5 year hump in this industry. Statistically on 100th of 1% actually do. If you absolutely are in love with the product, this could be overlooked, but do so at your own risk.
3. Management Team – Who is leading the company? Do they have experience and have they ever been in the field. This is very important and can easily be researched online.
4. Bad press – I’m sure that every single network marketing company in existence has at leas some bad press. The only way that they wouldn’t is if they were completely stagnant. Just make sure that there is not a ton of bad press. If you are reading horror stories wherever you do your research, then you may want to reconsider.
5. What I also suggest that you do is call maybe 5 different people who are advertising the company on the Internet and speak to them for a few moments on the phone. Ask them to describe their experiences with the company.
These are the main things that you should be looking for when it comes to a network marketing company. Some folks go on and on about how their compensation plan is the best etc. At the end of the day, that matters less then the points that I made above. Most compensation plans pay out enough money to make you rich if you promote the business successfully.
Direct Sales -
Direct sales is a slightly different beast. With direct sales you will be earning much higher commissions per sales. The price point for most direct sales products is much higher than it is for network marketing companies. Generally the price points are between $500 – $3000 but there are programs that have price points as high as $12,000. The income potential with these price points is obviously very high. The market is obviously much smaller as well because fewer people can afford to get involved with programs at that level.
With direct sales programs there really is not “true” long term residual income as there are no recurring costs. It’s a one time deal. Make your commission and move on to the next deal. The rules for picking out a direct sales company are much the same as with picking out a network marketing company. There are far fewer to choose from and there are none that I know of with the long history except for many one or two.
If you are searching for a direct sales company to join then you should certainly spend a good deal of time speaking to people that are working the business. Try to find people that are operating somewhat behind the scenes. In other words, don’t only speak to people at the top of the search engines. Speak to people a different levels and see what kind of support they are receiving as well.
There are many types on MLM Opportunities to choose from but whatever program that you decide to join. More important than the program itself is the system that you are using to promote it. In order to succeed you must be able to generate leads and convert those leads into sales. That’s pretty much the bottom line. If you don’t understand that process then your failure is guaranteed and you will become just another statistic.

Ok, so it doesn’t matter if you you have been with your MLM for a long time or if you are just getting started. This information will be beneficial to you either way.

- Image via Wikipedia
The reason is that regardless of where you are in your business, your ability to take your business to the next level completely depends on your lead flow. So how do you go about generating new leads for your business? There are several different methods actually. The first one is utilizing what is known as your warm market. That method has worked for a number of years and has actually created small fortunes for some. Personally I don’t feel that it’s the best way because it takes a very thick skin to absorb the amount of rejection that comes along with it and not want to quit the business.
The other and much more obvious way to generate a consistent flow of leads for your business is by advertising.
There are some things to think about from the beginning here.
First thing to think about is this.
Are you going to be advertising your products or will you be advertising your business opportunity.
There are two schools of thought here. I’ll give you both and give you some reasoning behind both.
1st – Leading with your product is the first one. The reasoning behind this is that in MLM there is a very high turnover rate. I mean that many people will get started in MLM and be gone within there first 120 days. There are many reasons for that but we’ll save that for another discussion. So the reasoning behind leading with your products is that if someone joins your company because they actually enjoy the product and would be purchasing it anyway, they have much more stickability. After they are a customer for sometime, you could then introduce them to the business opportunity. By building this way the concept is that you have a much more solid team.
2nd – Leading with your opportunity is the second one. The reasoning behind this is very simple. Most people out there in the industrialized world unfortunately are not completely happy with their lives. They wish they had more, they wish they made more money, they wish that they could keep up with the Jones’. It’s kind of sad when you think about it, but for the most part it’s true. Then you add into the mix a global recession. Many people during this time have lost their jobs and are really looking for an opportunity to help financially. These people have a strong need and so they have become a target for savvy marketers. This is why you are seeing such a massive influx of business opportunities and coaching programs all over the internet.
So there you have two very different approaches to building your mlm. I’m not saying that either way is right or wrong. Feel it out and see what makes more sense to you.
Now in either case you will still need to advertise either you business opportunity or your product/service.
There are literally hundreds of ways to advertise your MLM. However, the most successful people that I know really only utilize about 10 or so. These are the only ones that I will list here.
MLM Advertising Choices
1. PPC – Through Google, Yahoo, or MSN/Bing
2. Ezine Ads – Solo ads or buying access to other peoples newsletter subscriber lists
3. Voice Broadcasting – This will mostly work for option 2 above because voice broadcasting may not only be used business to business.
4. Media buys – Buying adspace on Websites
5. Social Media – Buying ads on Facebook Myspace or other social media channels.
6. Video Marketing – Creating informative videos that either teach or give insight into specific topics
7. Article Marketing – Creating unique content on specific topics and posting the content on article directories
8. Post Cards – Sending out post cards to business opportunity seekers
9. Blogging – Create a blog load it with unique and interesting content and then promote the content
10. Social Networking – Communicating with people through Facebook etc. and offer to help others achieve their goals thereby creating relationships or maybe even a tribe of your own.
Now I know that some of you are thinking that I left out a ton of stuff. Yes, there are lot’s of additional ways to advertise your mlm. Like I said though, the most successful people that I know in MLM right now are using the ways that I have listed right here. I’m talking about 7 figure and even 8 figure incomes here.
The order of these advertising mediums is pretty much the way that I would have it. For those that are just getting started I would consider #3 simply because learning google ppc can be costly and if that is a concern then voice broadcasting will be a much easier way to generate inexpensive leads very quickly. This can only be business to business but it is very effective.

As you get started with you MLM career I can’t even begin to convey the importance of getting some solid training. How you get started in the business can literally be the difference between losing money, being frustrated, quitting or having a legitimate business that gives you the type of lifestyle and income you’d hoped for and was the reason that you got started in the first place.
Now here is where I give you some straight talk. Mostly when you go online to websites/blogs and people are reviewing products and services it’s because they are an affiliate to either one or all of those recommended products and if you buy one, they make a commission. Now there is nothing wrong with that. In fact I would recommend that as you build your business you do exactly the same thing. It’s called affiliate marketing.
Having said that, it’s important that you actually use or believe in the product that you are recommending. That’s something that not all affiliate marketers do. Many affiliate marketers will simply find a product that has a nice commission and promote it, hoping that you will buy it.
I just want you to know that every product on this blog that you ever see me promote, I either use continually or have used in the past with solid results. If that’s not the case, I will tell you so flat out.
Now that we have that out of the way here are my recommendations for you to get some solid MLM Training.
OK, so at the top of my picks list is MLSP
This is a complete system that includes on-going training, tracking features, capture page creation and tons more. It was founded by 3 great guys whom I’ve had the privilege of spending time with in Vegas. I personally use this system each and every day and I only have the best things to say about it. MLSP will enable you to turn many of the people who say no to your primary business into income. This is a powerful concept that I definitely encourage you to adopt. I am an affiliate with MLSP along with using the system so if you try it out I will get paid, but I will also be there to help your personally.
For some FREE training from MLSP, visit this banner. 
One of the products that I actually offer as a part of the MLSP system is a product by a guy named Mike Dillard, called Magnetic Sponsoring. Now you may already be familiar with this product because it really changed our entire industry actually. Mike was actually one of the brains behind a concept called the funded proposal. This concept has allowed Mike to actually create an 8 figure business. That’s right, not 7 but 8 figures. That’s pretty impressive, considering that he did it in about 6 or 7 years. Needless to say that he knows what he’s doing and has also helped a number of other people achieve a tremendous amount of success as well. Here is the banner for Mike and Magnetic Sponsoring. BTW I use this and have a made money consistently with his program.
The next system and person that I would recommend to you is Daegan Smith and his Maximum Leverage. Now just so you know, I’m not a paying member of Maximum Leverage, although I am on Daegans list and listen very carefully to the things that he says. If you visit his website and get on his list he will give you great content for free via video and his blog. Daegan has been around for a while and has become one of the mlm guru superstars. He’s the real deal and I recommend him as offering a very powerful training platform.
I also am an affiliate for Daegans Maximum Leverage. So if you clicked that link and tried it out I also get a commission.
Finally I’d like to recommend to you. Mr. Jonathan Budd. This guy is really something else. At the time I’m writing this blog post I think Jonathan is something like 26years old and he’s already created a 7 figure business. He’s just one of those special guys that got it done. I had a the opportunity to hang with Jonathan a couple of years ago in Florida and he’s just really a great guy. He offers tons of value for free as well so just by visiting his site and opting into his list you will get some great nuggets for free. Just so you know I’m an affiliate of Jonathans products so if you buy anything through my link, I’ll get paid a commission. Just letting you know up front. Here is his banner.
Now I’m not saying that these are the only mlm training systems that are legitimate on the internet. What I’m saying is that I believe with all my heart that these program for sure are great. Obviously my #1 pick is MLSP because it’s what I use every day, but I trust all of these guys to lead you in the right direction as well.
Whatever you do, please please please make sure that you get started with some kind of system. Why not visit all of these sites and see which one seems to be the best fit for you.
As far as actual systems that encompass everything I would choose MLSP, Mike Dillards Black Belt Recruiting or Jonathans system. Deagan is focused more strictly on Lead generation which is probably “The” most important skill for you to learn in your business. I’m just not sure if his course includes lead capture page creation or tracking software.
I hope you get that I’m not just sharing a bunch of crap with you. These systems and trainers are the best out there. Until I complete my own system these are the best.
I hope this post helps you in some way shape or form. Even if you just get the free training from the sites mentioned above. I’m sure that you will gain tremendous value.
One final thing. If you do join with MLSP just wanted to mention one more time that you’ll get access to me to help you with your business. When people join with you, I hope that you will do the same.
That’s all for now.

Some of you are very new to the whole mlm world. It can be a very confusing and frustrating endeavor when you are first getting started. There is so much information out there that many people wind up not taking any action but rather moving from program to program and system to system. I know this is true, because I found myself in the very same
dilemma when I got started in the business. Even after I had success I still found my self getting off track from time to time thinking that there was an easier and faster way to make my fortune.
Here are 5 tips to help you navigate the choppy ocean of mlm.
1. Set some very small and simple goals at first. $50 per month in income or something like that. the reason is that many times people set the big goals and when they have not reached them in a couple of months they become frustrated and move on to the next deal. By setting small goals and reaching them you will know that you are moving in the right direction.
2. Find 1 or 2 good mentors. People that have had success and are willing to show you how they have achieved that level of success. This does not have to be a one on one coaching situation although that would be best. It could be in the form of a program or blog where you get trained.
3. Learn how to market. One of the main reasons that people give up in the business is that they run out of warm market leads and/or are facing a lot of daily rejection. That can be a difficult pill for just about anyone to swallow. Especially when the rejection is coming from your warm market. One of the best skills that you can learn is lead generation. If you have lot’s of leads coming in on a daily basis. A certain percentage will sign with you, and the ones that say no won’t make you feel as bad because you know that you’ve got lot’s of new leads coming in every day.
4. Create a blog. If you really want to see a high level of success in your business it’s important for you to begin branding yourself. One of the easiest and best ways to do this is by creating a blog about you and what you do. You can share your experiences and thoughts with others who are in a similar situation. As you continue learning and add more tools to your toolbox. You can share the information and create better relationships.
5. Use a System. It’s important that when starting you start out the right way. By this I mean that you have a system in place that allows you to do a number of things. First it allows you to collect leads. Next it gives you the ability to generate income even if your prospects don’t join your primary business. This is key because it will give you a marketing budget. Finally you want a system that automates the training of your downline. There is no way for you to train every person joining your team one one one. By having a training platform in place this part becomes automated giving your team the training that it needs and giving you the time to focus on your leaders and on marketing.
If you use these 5 Tips then you will ensure yourself a much higher chance of success.

What I’d really like to talk about today is the concept of a network marketing scam and what that really means. Well if you look up the word scam in Websters dictionary what you will find is the following.

- Image by Getty Images via Daylife
: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation <an insurance scam>
Now I know that you already knew what the word meant, I just want to make everything absolutely clear here.
Many people out there look at the entire network marketing industry as a scam and I’m sure that each person has their own reasons for feeling that way. They may have a legitimate gripe with a a company. Or maybe that actually did get scammed. In other words they paid for something and did not receive what they paid for and were not given a promised refund. That is very possible.
That said, there are very legitimate companies in the industry that have been in business for 50 years. It seems that it would be pretty difficult to stay in business for such a length of time if one were truly a scam. I just wouldn’t happen.
If you are trying to determine whether the company that you are considering joining is a scam or not here are some things to do.
1. Do research on the management team or founders. Goolge truly knows all.
2. Call some people that you find on the internet and ask questions. Make sure that you don’t ask just 1 person, you want to speak to at least 3 or more. When doing your search, don’t just call the top 3 but go down through the pages of google so that you can speak to someone who maybe isn’t as successful as the top dogs. That way you get different perspectives.
3. Try out the product if it is consumable. Most will have a money back guarantee if you don’t like it.
4. Go to the company convention if you are able to.
5. Follow your gut.
The last one may seem a bit unconventional but I’m a big believer that your instincts are mostly correct, so if something just doesn’t feel right then listen to that. It may not even mean that the company is shady, it may just meant that it’s not right for you.
Understand that there are hundreds of network marketing companies out there that are completely legitimate, just do your due diligence and don’t make an emotional decision.

With the current state of the U.S. economy as well as the global economy, it’s no wonder that so many people around the world are looking for alternative ways to generate income. Many people from the corporate world that would never have considered network marketing or direct sales are running out of options and desperate for a way to put food on the table.
This of course is causing quite a stir in the mlm home business world. Many who have been in the industry for sometime are looking seeing an amazing opportunity with thousands of new distributors joining companies on a daily basis.
If you find yourself in a similar position looking for an opportunity to generate income from home then here are some things to consider.
You must understand that many companies and distributors in the industry have built their organizations on a lot of hype. Dream selling is unfortunately something that has become the norm. Many will ask you how you would like to earn $10,000 per month from home? How would that make you feel, how would you spend the money. But not many will actually tell you what it’s going to take to generate that sort of income including a time frame.
You must be careful in the industry not to make decisions based on emotion. You must clearly understand the math. The cost of a lead, the cost of a new distributor and how many new distributors you will need to earn that $10,000. You must calculate these numbers so that you know where you stand. If you are not doing these types of things then you are sailing a ship without a rudder.
If the person trying to recruit you has no idea of these numbers that I suggest that you look in another direction.

There will be those that say this is network marketing and all that you need to do is contact your warm market. They will say that this type of business building has been successful for a very long time. I would say that very few people actually make it to the top in this way. Some do, yes and make a lot of money in the process. But very few people are built in such a way that they can take the amount of rejection that you will face when building with only a warm market list.
Understanding lead generation and utilizing it will greatly increase your chances of success. Then you can see on paper exactly what you need to do.

These days many people are more interested then ever in creating home based business that pays a substantial income while allowing more freedom in their lives. When looking into potential business models, there are so many factors to take into consideration. Start up costs can be exorbitant and keep many folks from being able to afford the ability to
start a business. However, some network marketing companies can be a godsend to those entrepreneurs who want to hit the ground running and start earning an income. One company that has become a popular choice is Genesis PURE.
Genesis PURE is a company that was founded on the idea of providing the best in nutrition to people who want to improve their health and vitality. The company believes in three core principles: Cleanse, Balance and Build. In addition, their business opportunity is based on an amazing rewards plan and a great management team that guides business owners to success.

According to the management team at Genesis PURE, they support business owners 100%. They believe that they work for the independent business owners as they are the lifeblood of the company. The company uses ingredients in their products that have been around for thousands of years. The company was named because of its central focus of making sure that the products are pure.
When it comes to the business opportunity, Genesis PURE has developed a rewards plan that is hard to beat. In fact, they have created a commission plan that allows for 55% of the total sales of commissioned products to go back to the independent business owner.
The company believes that success is directly correlated to a business owner’s attitude, abilities and desire to truly help others achieve their own dreams and hopes. They want the independent business owners to really feel good about their business and work hard at it.
Genesis PURE has a rewards plan that includes several facets. The company wants to mesh pure health and nutrition with a great opportunity. Aside from the 55% commission on products, there are also other parts to the program that are important to note such as leadership pools, revenue sharing pool, car bonus, team earnings, retail sales, first order bonus and generational check match. Because of all of these opportunities, business owners have the ability to begin earning immediate income from retail sales.
Using the compensation plan, there are several ways to make income including buying the products at wholesale and selling at retail. This allows business owners to simply keep the profit in the middle. Genesis PURE also allows business owners to enroll their retail customers directly into the company system so that they can receive their products directly at home without the owner having to be in the middle. The profits will be sent to the business owner in their next check.
There is also the first order bonus opportunity where an independent business owner (IBO) can earn a bonus on the initial order of each new IBO that they bring into the business. There is also a revenue sharing pool that allows IBO’s to share in 2% of the total company commissionable volume on enrollments into the product pak of 300PV or more.
There are so many other parts of the Genesis PURE rewards plan. People who are interested in joining this company should read over the compensation plan guidelines to get a better idea as to how viable an option this is for their own situation. Understanding the commission plan is very important as it directly relates to the income that can be earned. After all, this is a money making venture!
