The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing Topic - Information Is More Powerful Than Money - Download Free Ebook

If you're already a network marketer, you can see where this is leading to.

Let me illustrate how powerful information is over money.

If you haven't downloaded the ebook "The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing." I enocourage
you to do so.

I sincerely hope you've found this material to be as eye-opening and beneficial as I did when I first stumbled upon it. It's amazing what can happen by simply changing the way you think about something.

The one thing I want to encourage you to do above all else is to continue to educate yourself. If you aren't of this mindset, you will never be able to be successful long-term.

To really make the kind of money that can set you free, you've got to acquire an insatiable appetite for anything and everything having to do with sales, leadership, marketing and business skills.

There's an oft-told story I'd like to share with you.

A number of years ago two men came here from Cuba.

There are thousands of people who risk their lives on tiny little crafts to make it to America every year, but let's just focus on two of them. They both arrived here on the same day, a new life in front of them.

One of them was a dishwasher who worked at a hotel in Havana. He somehow managed to steal $500,000 from the guests who stayed at that hotel and make it ashore with all that cash on him.

The other one barely made it alive on an inner tube with absolutely nothing but the tattered clothes on his back. Not a single penny. But this guy was a brain surgeon in Cuba. One of the best, in fact.

Now imagine 5 years have gone by.

Where's the dishwasher? The one who came here "rich?"

Most likely he's broke and living on the streets. Or perhaps in jail. Maybe even dead.

You see when he got here, he probably carelessly spent all his money on luxury cars, houses, drugs, partying and other impractical things. Once he ran out, the only skill he had to make more money with was washing dishes. But after having a taste of "the good life," there was no way he could go back to doing that. So he probably turned to crime and eventually wound up living in a 6 x 6 cell.

The other guy - the one who came here with "nothing" - has a great house in an upscale neighborhood, a wonderful family, a nice car and in general, a very prosperous life.

Why?

Because he came here with the only real wealth, the only true financial security there is in life...

...the kind that's between your ears!

And no matter how broke he temporarily was, he would always be able to pull himself out of that situation.

You can do the same if you acquire skills that are highly valuable. And as we've discovered, there are no skills more valuable than those of sales and marketing!

However if you're already in one, you can start by learning the 7 lies your upline never ever tells you. You can download the ebook using the link below:

Is Your Upline Lying To You? Find Out By Downloading This Free eBook

If you're associated with a network marketing/MLM company, you must be familiar with the word "upline". Basically an upline means that someone was involved in getting you enrolled into the program. For example, Sue enrolled you, Jane enrolled Sue, and Vivian enrolled Jane. It goes on and on until it gets to the final link of the chain.

In this type of business, your upline is supposed to be your source of support. However, there may be someone in the uplink chain who is knowledgeable with the company and how to run your business, so you probably go to them for support.

Unfortunately, not all of them may give you the proper guidance. What works in New York doesn't necessarily work in Texas. They might tell you that our stuff sells fast in New York but not necessarily in one place.

There may be a time that they will tell you to make a list of friends and relatives. In most companies, it's still practiced by networkers today. There's nothing wrong with doing that, but I believe that you should also attract the right audience. Will you try to force country music on a crowd that likes to listen to disco music? I don't think you would.

Just because everyone is a potential prospect doesn't mean they're among the audience who you should market to. If you holler "I FOUND A SIZE 7 SHOE!", would you reply if you wear a size 10 shoe?

Here's another one. Don't buy into the phrase "We'll do the business for you..." because in reality, you have to do the business yourself.

To make a long story short, download the free ebook called "The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing" by Ann Sieg (click here) and learn whether you should buy what your uplines are telling you. In the author's opinion based on her experiences, she believed that there were 7 lies that your upline was telling you and this was the reason why 97 percent of those who started a network marketing business don't make it.

So to make sure you're steering your network marketing business in the right direction, make sure you download (click here) the free ebook. You have nothing to lose.

Be sure you distribute this free ebook to your business partners so that you can hold each other accountable. A successful team holds its members accountable in giving the proper guidance to their team members.

Good luck in your network marketing business and have a blessed day.

Eliminate The Guess Work In Marketing Via Twitter

Marketing on the Internet is not just a trend. It's a way of life for those who want to work a business from home. It doesn't matter whether you're working with a network marketing company, promoting your own products, or trading your expertise for a negotiable asset.

There are several ways you can promote your products, whether you purchase leads, advertise online or offline with classified ads, word of mouth marketing through referrals, getting on search engines, or pay per click. However, those cost a substantial amount of money to implement and most of us who are just getting started have little or no budgets to spare.

Nowadays, one method of promoting your product that's starting to take off is the use of social networking. Sites like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter are among the most popular. Every popular figure has their own account in at least these three sites. I won't give out names because if you know any of them, I bet you they most likely have one already floating around these sites.

Let's assume you already know the process in advertising online/offline and how your system explains the business to the prospect.

In social networking you want to keep your friend interested in following your updates. There's little or no difference between knowing your friend offline and knowing them online. However, it takes a little longer to build trust when you have an online friend that follows your updates because they've never met you face-to-face.

Now how about using Twitter to promote your business? I assume that you already know the process of setting up a Twitter account. In my opinion, it's the shorter version of using Facebook or MySpace to follow your updates. But here's what you must do to make Twitter work for you.

  • Determine what you need to market.
  • I assume you already have an account. However, you need to set up another account that is related to what you're promoting. If you're promoting weight loss products and coaching services, you may want to have the keyword weight loss in the user name.
  • Do a search on your keyword. From the results, you'll find Twitter profiles who are related to your keyword.
  • Go to their profile and then check out who they follow.
  • Make sure you follow those who are from your niche.
The next thing you want to do is put updates on your new Twitter account.

In advertising your business online or offline, you can put as many words as you like to determine what your ad is going to say. It can be in a blog, a Craigslist or Backpage ad, eBay, or a website.

However, in Twitter, you're limited to 140 characters. Now how can you get your message across with only 140 characters? I know you're used to the You simply announce your article or video post on Twitter and attach the link. Let the article or video that you put together which is providing value take care of it from there and be sure to explain how will they take action.

This is how far I'll take it since you got the idea. If you are serious about Marketing Via Twitter, I urge you to check out the link below. You don't have to, but it will enhance your Twittering experience.

The link below will give you directions on how to make this work for you. Just click here to visit the site and the authors explain why the way they do it will make your life better. Mine is getting better little by little.

The Impact Of Twitter On Promoting Your Business

I just recently started using Twitter and at first, I had no clue on what the impact it has until I started researching it and the power it has in promoting your business.

Twitter is a Web 2.0 application that has become popular among web surfers. Several internet marketers have began to make use of this with drastic results and some were able to get boatloads of prospective leads to their business and were able to monetize those leads.

However, there are some other reasons for using Twitter other than promoting.

  • Build relationships with those you follow and those following you.
  • Self branding for the purpose of gaining popularity. This popularity is based on being able to exchange their talents. You can call this attraction marketing.
  • Keep their friends updated on what's up with them lately, whether they do it through the use of their computer or mobile devices, such as their iPhones.
  • Use it as an alternative to promoting their business through the use of pay-per-click, purchase leads, advertise on newspapers or online classified ads.
You can call this passive advertising. It's against the grain to directly promote your business because nowadays, it seems to be more repulsive for prospects. We all heard that no one wants to be sold. People will consider your business when they're ready to do it to make their life better, regardless on whether they sign up to market the products or services, or just be a regular customer.

Don't forget that networking should be your primary vehicle for marketing. This is recommended by Tim Sales, a strong advocate of networking marketing, a multi-millionaire network marketer, and owner of http://www.brilliantexchange.com who promotes network marketing courses and tools. Be sure to maintain your relationship with the person you're networking with because that person may be able to refer customers or other people to you to build relationships with. You never know when that relationship you built will become your customer or business partner, so don't burn your bridges with them by terminating the relationship because they said no to your product or your opportunity.

Be sure you sign up for all the Web 2.0 sites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, YouTube, and whatever else is out there. This is the best way to build your marketing funnel. One friend you make through any of these sites can lead to multiple referrals who may be interested in what you have to offer.

Another major tool, which I use that you should start using is called http://ping.fm because this tool will allow you to update your status (not limited to) Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, and LinkLn.

Although I mentioned these other Web 2.0 sites, Twitter is the simplest to use. However, be sure you diversify your involvement with these other sites because by knowing them through association, you also add more friends to your funnel through the other sites.

Another site you want to consider using is through http://tweetergetter.com/lesid because according to this site, you can get up to 15,625 following you in 30 days if you can get the others to sign up for this free service. However, you want to make sure that those who follow you are people whom you are associated with, whether you belong to the work-at-home club, stay-at-home parents club, an iPhone user, a Mac user, a Dallas Cowboy fan, or someone who has diabetes club. You want to make sure what you're doing with Twitter (along with the other Web 2.0 sites) is legitimate.

Let me make a long story short. When you use Twitter, you should make the most out of it. Yes, you should do it to help make someone's life better. When you do that, you become an expert and when that happens, you become magnetically attractive because of your ability to solve their problem or make their life better.

So start Twittering and help make other people's lives better and be a solution to their problems. You can follow me on twitter by going to http://www.twitter.com/lesid and check my status updates or see what I've been up to.
