			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 0px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.markmcculloch.info%2F2012%2F02%2F02%2Fwhat-is-multilevel-marketing%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.markmcculloch.info%2F2012%2F02%2F02%2Fwhat-is-multilevel-marketing%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>Multilevel marketing otherwise known as (MLM) is an online business structure where products are marketed directly to consumers by sales representatives known as distributors. These distributors earn an income based on the amount of products they sell for their parent company, (Think Avon, Amway, Melaleuca, Mary Kay and tons of others) as well as the product sales of the distributors whom they have personally recruited to the multilevel marketing company.</p>
<p>Any new distributor they personally recruit, is placed into what is called their down line, MLM sales reps/distributors do not receive a salary. Their income is based on commissions and/or bonuses given; no salary is given. So an MLM distributor can also be described as an online &#8220;commission sales person&#8221;. Think, (Real Estate sales people, Vehicle sales men and women, Door To Door sales people in the real world,) same thing just online.</p>
<p>However while many multi-level marketing companies like those mentioned above are legitimate, MLM companies, the structure of MLM marketing closely resembles the structure of what is known as a pyramid scheme. Now Pyramid schemes are illegal in most countries as they are set up to purposefully rip people of by doing business the way they do, so it is very important to recognise the differences between these two different business models. One (MLM) is a proven successful method of making money online, The other (a pyramid scheme) is a proven successful method of ripping people off.</p>
<p>So the moral is do your home work on the company before you go signing up to any MLM company. Look at How long they have been in business, who is in charge of the company and what business experience those people may have, how financial is the company and what is its focus, what sort of products are they selling, are the products actually beneficial to the people that buy them, how much will you have to outlay per month on that companies products etc. Also check the credentials of anyone endorsing the company&#8217;s products. You can find out all this information with a quick Google search.</p>
<p>One very quick way of sorting out the cons from the good ones is to check and see if their focus is on selling the products or recruiting people. Recruiting people should be the last on the list, the main aim of the company should be on selling the products it makes, if it is not, say thanks but no thanks.</p>
<p>There are a lot of reputable MLM companies around that do sell great products and have done for years, just be careful when selecting the one you want to work with. You can earn extra income from a MLM company however they are not a good choice for those that are low on funds and need extra cash now, they are more a long term residual income opportunity precisely because they are one of the more expensive ways to earn an income online.</p>
<p>I hope that has helped clear up the confusion for you.</p>
<p>Now everyone knows that we all make &#8220;choices&#8221; in our lives on a day to day basis, that&#8217;s a given, and we know that some choices we make are good and that others are&#8230; well&#8230; not so good:) and that includes discovering what is multi level marketing</p>
<p>To that end, I have put together a host of information, not only about multi level marketing, but also about starting your own home business.</p>
<p>This information will show you &#8220;exactly&#8221; what you can expect, warts and all, if you do decide to start your own home business.</p>

First of all, we can all agree on that if people receive to much rejection, they will quit. So recommending your downlines to purchase Leads and start to cold call them will almost guarantee that they just loose their money and quit.</p>
<p>So if you are like most network marketers out there, then you probably want to learn how to get free leads, and also duplicate that knowledge to your downline.</p>
<p>The truth is that the Leads that you purchase from different Lead Companies are usually shared with a lot of other network marketers. Those kinds of Leads have just answered an online request on for example, if they are interested in, &#8220;Making Money Working From Home&#8221;. So that has nothing to do with, if they are interested in working with you, and your particular MLM company.</p>
<p>Once you learn how to get Free MLM Leads and traffic to your website by using the power of Articles, Press releases, Ebooks, Social networking, Videos and Blogs, then it will be totally different, because then you will have Leads that have opted in for the right reasons. The main reason for that, is because those Leads have opted in because they want to receive more information from YOU, and your particular product and opportunity.</p>
<p>Another benefit is the viral effect you will get with those advertising methods, when other people start to spread your content and links around the Internet. So using these advertising methods correctly, is definitely the easiest, cheapest and most effective way to generate tons of Free Leads for your MLM business. In comparison with other advertising methods, these methods are not only highly effective and free, but also time-less, so they will always be effective.</p>
<p>Another advantage that is of critical importance is, that those advertising methods allows you to stand out from the masses, and other people will view you as an expert in the network marketing arena. So spending the necessary time, so that you learn how to get Free MLM Leads and traffic by using those advertising methods will probably be the smartest move that you can ever make.</p>
<p>Here are 4 strategies that will help you to position yourself as an expert and also help you to generate endless amounts of Free MLM Leads in the same process:</p>
<p>1. Learn how to use Free advertising methods that Brand YOU, and that also have the potential to put your primary MLM business on complete Autopilot &#8211; First of all: if you don&#8217;t use Free advertising methods, then you don&#8217;t really get your Leads for Free, because you paid to get your prospects to your website in the first place.</p>
<p>Second: Article marketing, Press release marketing, Ebook marketing, Social networking, Video marketing and Blogging are advertising methods that will help you to Brand and position yourself as an expert, which is of critical importance for MLM success.</p>
<p>Third: All those advertising methods have the potential to generate endless amounts of Free MLM Leads, plus putting your MLM business on complete Autopilot.</p>
<p>2. Design an effective Lead Capture Page and give away a Free Ebook in exchange for your prospects contact information &#8211; It&#8217;s one thing to get traffic to your website, but a whole other game to generate Free MLM Leads. The goal here is to GIVE away something of great value that has preferably YOUR NAME on it, so that you also win peoples trust and respect. The golden rule is: The better and more relevant your offer is, the bigger the chances are, that you will get peoples name and primary email address.</p>
<p>3. Use a &#8220;Tell A Friend&#8221; incentive &#8211; Offer an incentive if people pass on your Ebook to for example 5 of their friends.</p>
<p>4. Make a Video and post it on YOU TUBE and also on other &#8220;Video Sharing Sites&#8221; &#8211; Video marketing is an extremely effective strategy in order to generate Free MLM leads. Here you can give away some of your secrets in the actual Video and leave a link that points back to your website. Once your prospects arrive at your website you show them the rest of your video in exchange for their name and primary email address.</p>
<p>When you have everything set up correctly, you will Brand yourself and at the same time potentially generate tons of Free MLM Leads in the same process.</p>

Thousands of companies and businessmen have already made some changes regarding their marketing approach towards the public. They have followed the right path of marketing, as they have upgraded the way to stay connected with their clients and future consumers. Easy, fast, and effective, this is how the businessmen described the experienced that they have had by using mobile marketing through SMS. According to statistics, cell phone users in United States have increased to 203 million from 34 million in just ten years. It is also a fact that at the end of year 2009, there were nearly 5 billion people that are using mobile phones in the whole world according to the International Telecommunication Union or ITU. With these information alone, the businessmen and companies now have the idea to improve the quality of their marketing method, and that is to use the cell phone&#8217;s popularity, sending product information in to someone&#8217;s mobile phone in order to promote and advertise their showcase.</p>
<p>However, the company or businessman should ask for an authorization coming from the person that shall receive the promotional text messages. Without this, the company or businessman will not be able to send the person any kind of product promotion as a part of the company&#8217;s or businessman&#8217;s text message marketing campaign. This kind of marketing program is one of the main components of a strong and effective as well as consistent customer interaction, and when the businessmen and companies have these key factors then they can expect for a higher chance of customer growth.</p>
<p>No doubt that those companies and businessmen that have applied this kind of marketing technique will certainly encompass a larger scope of connectivity towards the people, and greater connectivity means a good business relationship which is the most important thing in business marketing. In this way, the businessmen and companies can successfully reach credibility. These are the benefits of good product advertising, like what the business owners and companies do in using text message marketing.</p>
<p>An accomplishment is better known as success, and in order to attain this, a well planned business development should be followed. Good efforts are not only the basis of business development, but also the procedure of how to do it, and the marketing method to use for it.</p>

Are you searching, struggling, flailing and ultimately FAILING to make any real progress with your online business? It really doesn&#8217;t have to be difficult&#8230; and the real secret to making easy money online is surprisingly straight forward! The sad truth is that most people will NEVER make $100 dollars online in their lifetime, let alone per week&#8230; or per month, or even per day.</p>
<p>The reason? In my view, it&#8217;s because we are all conditioned to believe that you NEED things to succeed online, or that there are a series of educational requirements, or &#8220;scams&#8221; you need to fall for, or strikeouts you need to experience, before you hit your first home run.</p>
<p>I say that&#8217;s complete and utter nonsense. (even though I personally have experienced much of the above, unfortunately!)</p>
<p>You DON&#8217;T need to learn a zillion new things. You don&#8217;t need to buy any expensive software, follow any online guru&#8217;s or believe any more of the bull that permeates the online marketing landscape.</p>
<p>You need 2 things.</p>
<p>    * A community.<br />
    * And a curriculum.</p>
<p>Or said differently a LIST and an OFFER.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s really it. And the REAL secret to making your first $1000 is NOT in selling 100 $10 dollar ebooks. Instead, it&#8217;s selling FAR fewer people on premium priced services that you can offer for premium dollars.</p>
<p>For example, it&#8217;s MUCH easier to sell 10 people a $100 personal consulting package than it is to sell 100 ebooks.</p>
<p>And believe it or not, it&#8217;s actually EASIER to sell 5 people a $200 dollar consulting package than 10 at $100.</p>
<p>Of course at some point there does kick in a level of financial resistance, depending on what you have to offer and the value that it brings, but a good argument could be made that if there is something you are really good at, it makes the MOST sense to simply package it at $1000 and sell 1 person. (with a goal of selling many people that same offer, once you demonstrate you can deliver)</p>
<p>The fact is, the people you hear about making millions of dollars online are almost NEVER doing that with high volume, small ticket items. Instead, they are selling far fewer actual &#8220;units&#8221; than you would believe&#8230; but their prices are so high, that it translates into big, big bucks.</p>
<p>So TOO can you &#8211; and in an honest, ethical and contribution oriented business model that values your efforts and abilities AND your bank account to boot!</p>

Rather than starting simply and proving their concepts, many entrepreneurs invest months that stretch into years building a convoluted business model.</p>
<p>You Don&#8217;t Have to Have Everything In Place to Start</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a mistaken belief that the way to start a new business is to have perfect business cards, a variety of polished marketing materials, an elaborate marketing plan, a complete social media marketing scheme, perfect keywords, finalized website, list generation tools, products to sell for passive income, merchant accounts, and ability to take credit cards, the perfect legal entity, and whatever else a business could possibly need.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to start out with all this in place. You&#8217;d be gambling massive amounts of work, effort, and money on an unproven business. It&#8217;s fairly common for new business owners to spend considerable work and time, and never launch the business, attract any clients, or make any money.</p>
<p>It seems that we&#8217;ve all bought into the idea that business start-ups require ALL THIS before you can be in business. That&#8217;s a mistake. It&#8217;s too easy to sit in the house and keep twiddling and fiddling, preparing to launch a business &#8211; all the time actually avoiding doing any business at all.</p>
<p>Keep It Simple To Start</p>
<p>Start simple and prove your concepts first. Tweak your business model as you go. Have financial success before you invest additional time and resources into the business. Don&#8217;t get all sorts of expensive marketing materials, until you know your business is viable. Don&#8217;t pile marketing strategy on top of marketing strategy until you&#8217;ve got a regular stream of paying clients. Don&#8217;t spend all your time learning about social media marketing, keywords, and the latest technologies when no real business is happening.</p>
<p>Start Simply and Build Your Future Business Empire From That</p>
<p>What is the barest strategy you can start with to try out your ideas and what is the most direct way you can execute it? What single service can you start with? There&#8217;s nothing wrong with this being the core strategy of what you hope will be your future &#8220;empire&#8221;. Business empires do grow from humble beginnings. Start simple and add complexity as it makes financial sense. When you start simply, you can build a solid foundation for that empire &#8211; as the business grows.</p>
<p>What Is Your Simple Starting Point Strategy?</p>
<p>Of all your grand ideas, where is the simple starting point? What should be the focus of your immediate and short-term (up to two years) activity? What do you want to be the foundational strategy for your business? What would be the easiest way to start the business &#8211; with the least risk and the best likelihood of quick and reasonable success. Don&#8217;t fantasize about becoming a millionaire in two weeks. Choose activity you LOVE doing.</p>
<p>Keep your startup strategy simple. Get out there and make the business happen before you get complicated.</p>

You hired an excellent web designer to craft a perfect home page and satellite pages that will really draw in the visitors and inspire them to buy. You have a beautiful catalog of products with detailed descriptions. You have a section dedicated to the services you provide with praises from past customers. And you have the best online shopping cart service out there so that you customers can buy from you with no hassles and next day shipping. That&#8217;s great! Now where are your customers? </p>
<p>Driving traffic to your website is a much discussed and much misunderstood venture. There are a million theories out there that claim to drive tons of new visitors to your site daily. There are services that say they will increase your traffic by an enormous percentage if you will only pay them their small fee over a period of fifty years. There are so-called experts who will place your pages on all the best search engines on the net. They claim that with this kind of blanket exposure, your traffic numbers will explode within days. </p>
<p>But the only sure-fire way to draw productive traffic to your website is through targeted marketing. The important word to notice here is &#8220;productive.&#8221; You can draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to your site every year by hosting a giveaway of some kind. Services that search the internet for freebies will have people clicking a link to your site like crazy. But these people are not there to buy anything from you &#8230; quite the opposite. They are empty clicks. There is nothing productive about this kind of traffic. People looking for free stuff will rarely make you any kind of money. And that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re after, right? </p>
<p>So target your marketing to the people who really want to buy what you have to offer. How? Start by trying these basic steps&#8230; </p>
<p>* Hire an experienced copywriter. The copy that is on your site makes a world of difference in the sales you garner from the internet. Most important to targeted marketing are the keywords found in your title and the metatags in the website&#8217;s code. An experienced copywriter will know how to determine the most effective keywords and place them strategically in your site&#8217;s copy. If you cannot afford a copywriter, do some research and talk to your web designer about inserting metatags. </p>
<p>* You can enroll in pay per click search engines. Obviously, google.com is one of these, but most of the most popular keywords are already taken. If you can think of some original phrases that people use to search for your products or services, you can post your ad next to the text that comes up when people search for that phrase. Every time someone clicks on your ad to go to your site, you pay google.com a nominal fee. </p>
<p>* Submit articles to free ezine sites. This is especially helpful if you are a service provider. You can write, or hire someone to write, an article for you about your area of expertise. Give some free tips, offer your experience, and be accessible in the text. Then at the bottom of the article, you get a link to your website advertising your services. Every time someone publishes your article in their ezine, newsletter or article directory they must use your web address at the bottom. </p>
<p>These are just a few of the many ways to ensure you get &#8220;productive&#8221; traffic. Empty clicks are just that &#8230; empty&#8230; and your wallet will stay that way, too!</p>

You can’t really get what you want in life until you have given it to others.  Doesn’t sound like it makes much sense, does it?  How can you give what you don’t have?  As you open your mind to the possibility and ask this question of yourself, you allow opportunity to come to you and knock at your door.  Then you will find a way that it is possible to give to others what you want, before receiving it yourself.</p>
<p>It almost sounds like a chain letter and in a way it is.  The chain letter is a facetious reference as so many of us have been exposed to them by now and know they are illegitimate scams.  Yet the basic principles are: you give before you receive, and you give with the faith and expectation of receiving.  A similar modern example can be seen in the film ‘Pay It Forward’.  By giving to others, you allow good things to happen to you.  And this all boils down to the simple law of attraction.</p>
<p>The law of attraction is like any other law of nature, like gravity.  And like gravity, it is not one that has been generally ‘discovered’ yet.  As a result, most of us are walking around thinking in a completely disordered paradigm.  </p>
<p>Disordered paradigms of thought are displayed over and over in history, and discoveries of natural laws and observations of reality have brought order to transform the mistaken beliefs that had been accepted for fact.  You can think of many examples, such as the belief that the world is flat, or the belief that we are at the center of the universe.  Or the great changes that resulted as a discovery of the force of electricity and harnessing its natural power.</p>
<p>In this same way, we are able to make a change in our own disordered thought patterns.  Right now 99% of us are probably dissatisfied.  Dissatisfaction means larger life is seeking to be expressed through us, and it is being blocked.  Self-sabotage is a very real process working in the invisible realms of the unconscious mind.</p>
<p>The good news is there are a lot of simple, small but powerful techniques you can use to reprogram that all powerful unconscious mind of yours, to order your own life as you want it.  Yes, there IS a way to eliminate the chaos in your life, and it starts within.  It starts by eliminating the often unseen chaos in your own mind.</p>
<p>The technique in this article is only one of a vast array that you can use on a daily basis to improve your life dramatically.  In this article you are learning how to use the law of attraction to attract to yourself what you want.</p>
<p>The law of attraction, like gravity, is undefiable.  You will attract what you are sending out.  Your thoughts are real in the world of attraction.</p>
<p>If your mind is resonating with patterns of anxiety, stress, anger, sadness, envy, grief, or any other negative emotion, you will be attracting more of the same in your life.</p>
<p>One step you can take to change this is to focus on giving to others before you receive yourself.  In this way you are changing your vibration and your focus.  And you open yourself to receive what you had been closing off before.</p>
<p>It is very simple to give.  Give of what you have, and everyone has something to give.  We all have innate value to offer the world.  An abiding philosophy in the law of attraction is to always offer an increase in value, to give back more in value than you receive in money.  In this way you continue to give more than you get and attract more and larger life back to yourself.</p>
<p>Take a moment to look within and find something, anything, no matter how small or simple, to give to anyone, friend or stranger.  Start the practice of giving, and you will take one step towards raising your level of vibration and enhancing the value of what you attract in your own life.  Give something selflessly today, knowing that you will receive it multiplied back in your life, tenfold.</p>

You just have to know a few copywriting basics known to journalists and writers as the 5 W&#8217;s. Throw one &#8220;H&#8221; in there and all your copywriting basics are covered.</p>
<p>Who? Tell the reader who your product will help. This should be your target market.</p>
<p>What? Tell your reader what your product or service will do to improve their lives. In other words, tell them the benifits they will receive, what&#8217;s in it for them.</p>
<p>When? When is the offer good for? If there is a special offer, when does it expire? When will the product or service help them, immediately or over time?</p>
<p>Where? Where can you order the product or service? Where will it work?</p>
<p>Why? Tell your reader why he or she needs your product or service. Why will it benefit them? Why should they sign up or order today? Why is the quantity or offer limited?</p>
<p>How? How do they register or order? How much will it cost? How much return will they see for their investment? How does it work?</p>
<p>Sounds pretty simple, doesn&#8217;t it? There is no trick &#8211; it really is as easy as that. Put yourself in the shoes of the reader and answer the questions you would likely ask or want answered about your product or service. Answer those questions clearly and thoroughly and your Web copy is complete.</p>
<p>These copywriting tips and copywriting techniques will work not just for Web copywriting but also for direct market copywriting, other online copywriting, and offline copywriting as well. </p>
<p>Below are a few other copywriting basics that will help you write your web site copy:</p>
<p>1. Keep it simple. No one wants to drudge through a long, drawn out confusing explanation. If you can&#8217;t say it simply, that&#8217;s fine. But by all means, simplify when you can. </p>
<p>2. Make sure your copy urges a call to action either in the body copy, or text of the article, or in the headline. Words like &#8220;Act Now,&#8221; &#8220;Limited Time Offer,&#8221; or &#8220;Limited Supply&#8221; will urge your readers to contact you sooner rather than later. </p>
<p>3. Keep it honest. Don&#8217;t make wild claims just to get business. Build a good reputation by being up front and honest with your potential customers. In addition to appreciating your honesty, they will recommend you to others as a business owner who is true to your word and claims. </p>
<p>4. If you make an offer, make it one that is hard to pass up. Don&#8217;t waste your readers&#8217; time with small, worthless offers. Think about the coupons you see in magazines and newspapers. Do you take time to clip them? If so, it&#8217;s because the offer is of value to you. </p>
<p>5. How long should your copy be? As long as it takes to adequately answer the above questions for your product or service.</p>
<p>An unanswered question is considered an objection in your potential customer&#8217;s mind. So, be sure to answer all their objections.</p>
<p>Keep these Internet copywriting basics in mind as you prepare the articles or sales letters that will appear on your Web site. Don&#8217;t be intimidated because you don&#8217;t have any professional writing experience. Most people want to do business with an honest person who knows the product or service well that he or she is trying to sell. </p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a professional writer to do that. The only requirement is that you truely believe in the product or service which you are trying to sell. If you do, your enthusiasm will shine through your writing. If you do not believe in your product or service, your lack of enthusiasm will shine through also.</p>
<p>So, in summary, answer the above questions as clearly and simply as you can, be honest, avoid hype, make an irresistable offer, and be sure to include a call to action.</p>
<p>If you do all these things you will master the copywriting basics and should have no trouble converting your Website visitors into customers.</p>
