The Greatest Loss Due to Failure in MLM

People jump out of one business and into another as if they are changing buses or trains on the way to work. This is the world of MLM.

When someone starts a traditional business venture (not referring to MLM or online businesses), they have a 95% chance of failure already stacked against them. With these odds, do you think they go into their venture ready to accept failure? Absolutely Not! They want this so badly but it is extremely difficult to get a traditional business off the ground.

Into the arena enters MLM and/or other online home based businesses. You see people jump in and out of business opportunities within weeks if not days and they are off to something new. What is the difference and why does it appear that failure is accepted in Multi Level Marketing? Think about this for a moment: The Greatest Loss Due to Failure in MLM is the Loss of Self Esteem.
It hurts when you have to admit failure. Your Pride is damaged and your ego is deflated. Am I right?

In MLM, it is easy to walk away and leave your money on the table. You will hear comments like: It didn't work for me, It's only $300, I didn't like the company, etc. We talked with a gentleman the other day that told us he was in this particular program for a year but hadn't started working it. He also did not take advantage of the company's product and we figured he already spent at least $2500.

Most people are not prepared to succeed in business. This is due to being trained to become an employee as opposed to an entrepreneur. We are so use to being told what to do and how to perform task that we do not know how to run our own business. I'm not referring to the day-to-day management of our business as much as the mental mindset of being our own boss.

When we fail to achieve instant success as we hear from the leaders in our industry, we begin to back off until we are no longer working the business. Eventually our business falls apart or just fails to thrive and we go off to find something new. With each failure, we walk away sooner and we put in less effort than we did previously. This is how we protect our ego. We treat our online activities as if it were a game.

It is time to move on and stop playing games. There are 3 things you need to do.

1. Identify your goals and determine if your opportunity will help you meet these goals.

2. Find a marketing system that will work to effectively market your business opportunity.

3. This is the most important item! You need to constantly work on the most important part of this system- You! You have to constantly work on developing yourself professionally and emotionally.

Most people do not fine-tune their goals (frankly, I'm weak in this area as well). Your business opportunity has to be a fit for your goals. Is it possible for your business opportunity to meet your financial goals through your compensation plan? Is this realistic?

Is your marketing system effective for your business opportunity? There are as many marketing plans, systems, methods and programs as there are business opportunities. Be very careful with your marketing efforts and expenses. Before you spend your energy (time) or money, make sure the marketing makes sense.

Most people that attend Business Colleges will study for 4 or more years just to go and work for a company as a business manager. What makes you believe you will be an instant overnight success as an entrepreneur when your only training is by the seat of your pants? I remember a mentor once stating, "I can tell you how successful a person is by the books he/she has read." If you are not listening to successful people or reading positive mental attitude books, what are you doing to improve yourself?

One of my favorite authors is Napoleon Hill. Of his many books, "The Master Key to Riches" often comes to mind in a discussion of improving one's mental strengths. I will leave you with a summation of the Master Mind Principle from Napoleon Hill:

THE MASTER MIND.
Through the application of this principle one begins to experience a new and a greater sense of power which is not available to the individual mind, as it bridges one’s personal deficiencies and provides him, when necessary, with any portion of the combined knowledge of mankind which has been accumulated down through the ages.

Don’t Sell Me, Give Me Benefits

I’m trying to market my business but all I ever get is offers to join other businesses. This is a common complaint we see and hear from others that are trying to market their online business. This is why we tell people NOT to market their businesses directly. You may not hear it directly but your prospects are saying, Don’t Sell Me, Give Me Benefits.

If you do not understand this or have this as an option, then you need to seriously consider how you are making your offer to your prospects. What are your options when you market your home based business? Who are you marketing to? Do you sort your prospects? Can you make money whether your prospect says yes or no?

When I read your email, what are you offering me, your prospect, which will be a benefit to me? When I see a very good advertisement, I measure how good the ad is by what benefit is being offered to me. To give you an example, there are a lot of cars in the $20K price range and there are a lot of cars in the $30K price range. Why would anyone pay $10K more for one car than the other for it to take you from point A to point B? A car in the $30K price range may have more safety features such as anti-lock brakes that would provide for a safer ride for my family. It may have independent suspension for a smoother ride making my trips more comfortable.

Most of us are marketing to people that have a problem. That problem is they are already in another home based business and your business opportunity doesn’t look better than theirs anyway. In addition to this, if they join your business opportunity, they still have the same problem they had before. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO MARKET!

When I read your email, here is what I should see. A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM.

I call this Solution Marketing. You are providing me a solution with my marketing problems. If I’m in a home based business and I need prospects, when I read your email and you offer me a solution, then you have a prospect. I am NOT a prospect unless your offer matches my needs. This is the importance of sorting your prospects. You can not afford to waste your time on people that are suspects for wanting to own their own home based business.

Providing a solution to other online marketers prospecting needs may not be what you had in mind but this will help your business grow faster and be profitable sooner. People that are using this method of marketing their business are quickly becoming more successful in their home based businesses because they are NOT running out of money before their business turns a profit. Many marketers drop out of their business before success settles in because they can not afford to continue to market without a quick profit.

We call our marketing system a Funded Sponsoring Franchise System. If you first show people how to succeed online, they will be more willing to look at your primary business opportunity. Even if they are not interested in your primary home based business, by helping them to become successful, you can make a profit.

Why am I Paying Money in a Free System?

You and I have been around the block a few times and we know that free will cost you something sometime!

You look at the advertising that is pointed your way and half of the ads are trying to give you something for free. Immediately, when I see this, I’m asking how much is this going to cost me. Isn’t this what come to mind for you as well? I don’t know about you but I know there is no free lunch.

When you think of marketing online, the same holds true. With all the free marketing tools and sites and free classified ad site, free traffic exchanges and free this and that, do you believe me when I say free has a price tag? FREE ADVERTISING ONLINE WILL COST YOU TIME EVEN IF YOU DO NOT PAY OUT ANY MONEY.

I’m going to show you a free marketing system today then I will discuss some of the costs of this system. Before I do this, however, I want to be sure not to waste your time. If you do not have a desire to succeed with your home based business or you are not willing to follow a detailed marketing plan to assure your success, this is not for you. I’m not going to go into detail on the exact costs of this marketing plan because this will be your assignment. I assure you, I have no intention of standing over your shoulder to check on your progress, that is the responsibility of your boss at the job you have now. One last comment before we begin. Is it worth a few hundred dollars and a few of your spare hours to own your own franchise that can earn you the incomes that you can derive from a fast food franchise without having to hire and supervise a bunch of unmotivated teenagers?

If you are still with me, let’s talk about the most effective way of marketing your business on the internet. I am assuming that each person reading this information has their own home based business and they are looking for more effective ways to market online. If you don’t, you will have the opportunity to learn how to identify the right business for you to get involved with. (And guess what, It might not even be mine!) I’m going to introduce you to the Funded Sponsoring Franchise System.

Franchises are nothing more than Funded Proposals. I heard a comment from someone that Subway Sandwiches is no longer in the Sandwich business! Yes, they sell sandwiches and plenty of them but they moved into the Diet business. They didn’t change their product but they changed your buying habits through a marketing campaign. Let me give you another example that you can really sink your teeth into. The hamburger franchises such as Mc Donalds, Burger King and Wendy’s sell millions of hamburgers around the world and are know for their hamburgers. The hamburger is their funded proposal and they make enough to bring you in the door. Their profit is in their French fries and drinks.

You have a product that you need to get in front of the right people so your business can grow. Years ago, I was downline from someone that was spending $5,000.00 a month on advertising in one particular program. She did this out of profit. However, a lot of people in her business did not see this success and were paying hundreds of dollars out per month on advertising and it was not working. We are going to talk about a system that will take away that frustration.

With the Funded Sponsoring Franchise System, your primary purpose is not to introduce your prospects to your primary business but to first show them how to succeed online. Remember most people you will run across with your advertising will already be involved in their own home based business. While you are looking for the right qualified prospects for your business, you can still be making money helping others to succeed. The last few statements may seem strange but if you don’t help them, someone else will or they will just be another failure on the internet. If (When) you help them, you will create a small profit and you will gain a friend in the internet business.

I know you are waiting for me to hit you with some cost statements! I know, the system is free, right? Here is a question that will be on your mind. Why am I Paying Money in a Free System? Here is why. The Funded Sponsoring Franchise System is free. What you are paying for is the Funded components (at your option) of the program. The founders of the system provided the entire system for free, the website, the training calls and etc. If you find this anywhere else, you will have to pay for it at least in membership fees or in another form.

The components of the system (the hamburgers) are going to cost you money upfront until you have paying customers. When you have enough customers (to buy your hamburgers), you will have enough profit to cover the cost of your advertising and start bringing people into your primary business (drinks and fries). Would you pay $200-$300 to own a Marketing Franchise that you could apply to any descent network marketing company? I already said I wouldn’t be specific on costs because everyone is different and everyone has different circumstances. The costs involved in the system are optional but it is the component that makes this system so effective.

Be Successful, Franchise Marketing System

This article is one of several articles that I have written specifically about this Marketing System. We have talked about the term: Funded Marketing Sponsoring System. We are going to go one step further and use the term: Funded Sponsoring Franchise System.

At this point after all these articles, why the change in terminology? Here’s the point. Most of you reading these articles are not new to internet marketing. You have a certain mental image if I use terms such as: marketing, internet marketing, sponsoring, home based business, online business promotion, lead generation and etc. If I say the term: Franchise, what is your mental image? Most people immediately think of McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Taco Bell and etc. In this article, I hope to draw some parallels between Internet Marketing and the Franchise System. You also need to keep in mind that most marketing systems are not a Franchise System. You also need to be able to recognize the difference.

First we are going to discuss why a Franchise is important to our marketing pursuits. Then we are going to discuss the terminology of the Funded Sponsoring Franchise System. I like to think of a Franchise as a business in a box. (In the case of a Franchise, it is a very big box.) A Franchise is a complete business. As a Franchise owner for the typical franchise, you are purchasing a business that comes complete with a fully developed marketing plan, operation plan and training program. If, for example, you were to purchase a McDonald’s Restaurant, do you think you would fail if you followed their training program? Do you think your Restaurant is in the best location because of their research work? Unless you go out of your way, it is hardly unlikely you will fail with a McDonald’s Restaurant Franchise. (We will get back to this point later.)

Are there internet marketing franchise systems available online today? Of course there are and there are several of them. But, NOT ALL SYSTEMS ARE CREATED EQUAL! There are marketing systems and there are Franchise marketing systems. Some of the marketing systems are no more than a listing of internet marketing resources. With these systems, it is up to you to EXPERIMENT (with your money) and find out what works and what does not. The problem with this is that you might throw away a perfectly good resource saying it does not work but you missed a critical step when setting it up.

A Franchise Marketing System will not only provide you with internet marketing resources but will also show you how to use them. With a Franchise Marketing System, you should expect a detailed plan on how to market your business. This plan should include resources that have a track record for producing results and instructions on how to best utilize these tools. You can expect to pay a monthly cost for the use of this Franchise Marketing System. (I know of only one that does not charge you for the system.)

If you take internet marketing and divide it into stages, you would have the following 3 stages.
1. General Internet Marketing
2. Internet Marketing Systems
3. Franchise Marketing System

We are going to give you one more stage but it actually is part of stage 3. This is the Funded Sponsoring Franchise System. Before we get to this, I want you to understand what these stages represent.

GENERAL INTERNET MARKETING- You will run across this when you sign up with most companies. They will brag about all the marketing tools and resources they have in their backroom for you to be successful marketing your business. (Most home business owners believe this and this is why they fail. Tools and resources alone are not enough.)

INTERNET MARKETING SYSTEMS- You will see a lot of these marketing systems coming at you through emails from you upline sponsor when you sign up in their business. They will send you all the tools they use (that they have signed up at the Pro level) so you can sign up under them and do the same when you sign up your recruits. Since you never learned how to bring recruits into your business, you basically spend too much money then leave the business trying to find one that works!

FRANCHISE MARKETING SYSTEM- Often, you will see a Franchise Marketing System coming from some of the top marketers that are using not only the tools and resources but they also know you need training and support to make it work. (This is really getting close to where we want to be.)

FUNDED SPONSORING FRANCHISE SYSTEM- We went all the way around the block to get here but we finally made it. Sometimes it is important to see what we don’t want before we can recognize what we do want. Marketing in general WILL COST YOU MONEY! There should be no surprise in that statement. Yes there are FREE MARKETING tools online that you can use but to be successful, you will spend some money on advertising. Here is the twist. When we talk about a FUNDED SPONSORING FRANCHISE SYSTEM, we are talking about covering the costs of your advertising dollars and Funding your advertising costs.

Remember, I said I would get back to this: Unless you go out of your way, it is hardly unlikely you will fail with a McDonald’s Restaurant Franchise. With the right system, you will succeed if and when you decide to succeed. I say that because it is just like owning a restaurant or hotel franchise and closing for weekends. Many of us have multi-million dollar businesses that we have sat on because it only cost a few hundred dollars to own our home business. If we bought a Franchise like a Subway Sandwich Shop, would we market for it if we felt like it this week or abandon the Franchise Marketing Plan.

At some point, we will have to talk about the cost of your Funded Sponsoring Franchise System. You will see how this is the most cost effective way to market online. Right now, just to wrap up, I want to leave you with some background information that I shared in one of the first articles in this series related to Funded Proposals.

I was first introduced to this concept many years ago but unfortunately, I did not see how it would fit into a Network Marketing concept. Two of the top internet marketer I had spoken with at various times about how they covered their costs of advertising with this concept. They were using the internet for direct selling and I really did not see how to use this concept for Network Marketing because of this. What they would do is sell a product for $8- $10 but not more than $20. This would generally be an information product that they could deliver over the internet after the purchase is completed. The product would have to have a broad appeal. They would use their marketing resources to advertising this product sometimes costing them thousands of dollars in advertising. (They also knew their resources well! Hint! ! ! ) The entire cost of their advertising was covered by the sales that resulted from this campaign.

Now, pay close attention and you will be quizzed later.

If I told you nothing more, you would think these guys were nuts! They would spend thousands of dollars just to break even! NO, they received very, very, very targeted leads and covered their cost of obtaining them! Now these customers have a relationship with them and they are SATISFIED CUSTOMERS! (HINT!) Now the marketer knows what their customers want and they have virtually no cost selling to them. And what about the SATISFIED CUSTOMERS that the Marketing Gurus continued to sell to.

Make Money Online by Sorting Your Prospects

Marketing is a sorting process. When you use a Funded Marketing Sponsoring System, your primary objection is not necessarily to recruit members into your primary business. This may be hard to swallow at times. Your primary task is to show how the marketing system will assist the prospect solve their problem. That first task is to show them how to make money online. (Period) Marketing your primary business opportunity is actually the third step. (I hope this doesn’t scare you!)

You see, marketing should be like recruiting a new employee for a corporate job. Let’s say a big corporation in your city is hiring a half dozen entry level positions and 2 upper managers. They may list the jobs in the local newspapers but they probably will also list the upper manager positions in trade publications and business journals. The entry level positions might be open to accept applications for 2 weeks and the upper management positions may list their openings for 2 months. These are 2 different positions and they are handled in 2 different hiring plans.

I could go on but you get the idea. When you are looking to “recruit” into your own home based business, you are also going to sort when you use the “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System”. First, you are going to invite your “Suspects” (remember, they are not yet “Prospect”) to look at your marketing system. They are “Suspects” because you suspect they might want to be involved in a home based business or are involved with one. After they look at your system, they either raise their hand and say they want more information, sign up or they move on. Just like the hiring team for the corporation, they will not contact everyone that places their application just the ones that qualify.

At this point, they have only passed the first test and they have no idea what your primary business opportunity is. That first test is this: Do they want to make money online? You don’t want to waste your time with “suspects” that expect you to talk them into a desire to make money! Either they want to make money or they don’t.

In the article, (“How To Make Money Online Marketing to Prospects and the Competition”), I mentioned there will be more information related to some points expressed in that article that would be clarified further in this article. One of those items is from this statement: (The first is to help them start a home based business that will assist them in fulfilling financial goals. The second is to solve a problem for our prospects that the products or services of our home based business can remedy for them.) When offering the “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System” to a prospect, we have to offer them assistance building a home based business then communicate about our own home based business second and not in the reverse order.

This is where it gets a little foggy as I mentioned in the previous article so stay close as I attempt to clarify the waters. This is where we are going to look at 2 methods of online marketing and 1 method of offline marketing using the “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System”. They are as follows:

1. Online method #1: Solution Marketing #1a- Using the Funded Marketing Sponsoring System to build our primary business opportunity.
2. Online method #2: Solution Marketing #2- Using the Funded Marketing Sponsoring System to MARKET TO YOUR COMPETITION.
3. Offline method #1: Solution Marketing #1b Using the Funded Marketing Sponsoring System to build our primary business opportunity.

To be effective, you have to run a solution based advertising campaign. We have talked about this in the past but you have to solve a problem and your “suspect” becomes a “prospect”. In Online method #1 and Offline method #1 above, you are concentrating your efforts on placing your advertisement where prospective home based business seekers are looking for business opportunities. You are offering them a marketing system and showing them how they can quickly make money so they can cover the costs of their advertising. (Remember, you are providing solutions and the first solution is to eliminate their costs as soon as possible and start making a profit.) In these 2 marketing methods, you will be showing your prospects the marketing system then your primary business opportunity.

In Online method #2, you are marketing in areas where you expect to find other home based business owners. You are sharing a marketing system with them and demonstrating how they can be making money sooner (to cover their business costs) and they can “expose” their business opportunities to more prospects. With this method, you might also find prospects for your primary business. (Just a side note, most people marketing on the internet use this to “directly” market their business and most people fail.)

Here is a specific note on Offline method #1. Through the training, you will learn how to develop advertising campaigns and “test” them. It is far better to develop the advertising campaigns and test them online before placing them offline. The reason is because of the costs of offline advertising and the way you can advertise online by paying for your results. (This is another article in itself and I do not know the timeframe of this article, sorry.)

How To Make Money Online Marketing to Prospects and the Competition

When you prepare to market your online business, you often envision placing your advertising in front of endless streams of prospects waiting for those to step forward and enroll in your business. Unfortunately for you, those endless lines of prospects are also waiting for you to enroll in their online business.

Remember what advertising is all about: "Find a Need and Fill It!" We often lose track of the purpose of our online advertising (and off line advertising as well). STOP SELLING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, SELL SOLUTIONS AND BENEFITS!

We are going to address 2 aspects of internet marketing in this article and one of offline marketing. In my last article, ("Make Money Online When They Say Yes or No"), I promised to discuss marketing in "both directions". (Be sure to find this article on my marketing blog if you haven’t already read it.) By "marketing in both directions", I’m referring to marketing to enroll people in your primary business as well as enroll new signups in your marketing system. The marketing system that I am referring to is the "Funded Marketing Sponsoring System". Again, I will refer you to my blog to read the article that discusses the need for this type of system: ("Why is Directly Marketing Your Online Business Wasting Time and Money")

For the purposes of this article, let’s wrap together Solutions and Benefits (the concepts we are selling) into the term: "Solution Marketing". We have 2 Solutions to fulfill in the process of marketing our home based business.
1. We are marketing a solution for our prospects that our product our service of our primary business can fulfill.
2. We are marketing a solution for our prospects (that are not interested in our home based business and are engaged in their own) that our marketing system can fulfill.

These are 2 totally different directions and 2 different marketing plans that we will use the same "Funded Marketing Sponsoring System" to provide the 2 solutions for. As mentioned before (We are going to address 2 aspects of internet marketing in this article and one of offline marketing.), we will combine these aspects and marketing plans into this discussion.

Solution Marketing #1- Using the Funded Marketing Sponsoring System to build our primary business opportunity.

When we are marketing to build our own business opportunity, there are 2 problems that we want to solve for our prospects. The first is the help them start a home based business that will assist them in fulfilling financial goals. The second is to solve a problem for our prospects that the products or services of our home based business can remedy for them. To give you an example, if you are marketing a nutritional business, you would specify how the products would benefit their health or help them with weight problems.

Some of this is a little foggy but it will be further refined in another article that will be published soon. The next article will assist your understanding of the order related to this marketing system. That article is: ("Make Money Online by Sorting Your Prospects")

In Solution Marketing #1, we will market this online with advertising campaigns designed to target prospects that are specifically looking to join a home based business opportunity. These advertising campaigns will be directed to advertising methods such as search engine advertising and ezine advertising in ezines that focus on new people to the make money online crowd.

Solution Marketing #2- Using the Funded Marketing Sponsoring System to MARKET TO YOUR COMPETITION. The goal really isn’t to "market to your competition", but to "sort" your prospects. This will be better explained in the article: ("Make Money Online by Sorting Your Prospects"). Just for the sake of a basic understanding, you are separating the tire-kickers from the car buyers.

This is the most important reason for using the "Funded Marketing Sponsoring System". When your prospect looks at your marketing system, "IF" they see the potential, they will use the system regardless of whether or not they join your business opportunity. The "SYSTEM" is designed to market any business and offset the cost of advertising your primary business opportunity. The "SOLUTION" you offer your prospect is "How to Successfully Market Online and to Make Money Online whether or not your prospect joins your primary business opportunity.

This is a win/win situation for you and your prospect. When you help your prospect make money in his/her own home based business, if they have a problem that your products and services can solve for them, who are they going to call?

Make Money Online When They Say Yes or No

This is kind of confusing for some people but it shouldn’t be. It is very obvious why people will sign up if they say yes but it isn’t as obvious why they would sign up if they said NO. Let me give you this example. You are asked by someone that has plenty of money, If they offered you $250 thousand dollars, would you jump out of his airplane for that sum without a parachute? The obvious answer you give is an emphatic: NO WAY! If you had said YES, I WOULD, you would be walking around with $250,000.00 in your pocket! We often fail to ask for the details with something that seems so outlandish. You see, the plane was parked on the runway and all you had to do is jump from the door to the runway.

Let’s look at the details of what we offer people that we are marketing to. If you directly market your Home Based Business online, you are pushing your stalled car uphill. You might get it into the gas station 3 blocks away but it may take some time. (There is another gas station ½ block behind you, which is downhill.)

If I were to offer you a way to make money marketing your online business thru a “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System” that will make money for you whether or not your prospects were interested in your primary business would this be of interest to you? If you said no and you are directly marketing your home based business online, I hope you have a lot of money! The obvious answer is to say, “I want to take a look at this”. Why would you want to take a look at this? There is a benefit to you and we need to sell benefits and solutions online. (No matter what the product is.) We are so wrapped up in the features of our products that we forget people want to know what it will do for me.

Here is the Benefit of the “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System”. When you share this system with others, many of those prospects will not be interested at all in your primary business opportunity. Many of these prospects are searching for a “solution” to their marketing failure. The Marketing System is that solution. As they begin to use it to market their own online business opportunity, you earn some additional revenue. Hence, you solve their problem marketing their business and you make money. This money can and should be used to “FUND” your advertising campaigns.

The next article to follow this: (“How To Make Money Online Marketing to Prospects and the Competition”), will demonstrate how to “split” your advertising to market for your primary home based business as well as deriving the benefits from marketing to your competition. So far, we have really addressed marketing to your competition, which is what you primarily do when marketing online. In the next article, you will see how to market in both directions while using the “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System”

Your Internet Marketing Tools Don’t Fit My Online Business

I bet you can take out a sheet of paper and number it from 1 to 100 and list 100 internet marketing tools. Some people think you can’t run an online business without them. Maybe so but it does make marketing easier.

How many people do you know that you could hand a torque wrench to and tell them to torque those bolts to 100 pounds. (Doesn’t that give you this mental image of someone that doesn’t understand pounding on the bolts with the torque wrench 100 times until you scream about them destroying your new torque wrench!) Giving them the torque wrench is just like giving them the Search Engine Submitter and telling them to get their site on top of the Search Engine- IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!

Often, I am asked to explain the “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System in its simplest terms. Here it is in one sentence: The “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System” is a marketing system that provides resources for marketing tools, training to use those tools properly, and a method of promoting your business in such a way to allow you to cover the costs of advertising.

The title of this article is: “Your Internet Marketing Tools Don’t Fit My Online Business”. This is to specify the importance of not only using the right marketing tools and using them correctly but also to lead into the fact that many marketers leave a bundle of money on the table.

Of course many of the internet marketing tools cost money on a monthly basis and you can market your affiliate site so you too can make extra money while marketing your online business. You don’t want to ask me what I think of this idea other than it being a distraction from marketing your own business.

With the “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System”, the system markets your business. All you have to do is offer it to people that are interested in a marketing method that will pay you to market it. You take your primary business and plug it into the marketing system.

In a previous article I wrote: (“Why is Directly Marketing Your Online Business Wasting Time and Money”), the aspect of the true costs of marketing was discussed. In the article, it was related do directly marketing your online business to your “competition” as opposed to offering your “competition” something that would be of benefit to them. Hence: assistance marketing their business. Did you ever think that helping your competition market their own home based business would be so profitable and create success in marketing your own home based business?

There will be a continuation article entitled: (“Make Money Online When They Say Yes or No”). Please keep an eye out for this article on my marketing blog. This article will address the aspect of marketing your primary business with a “Funded Marketing Sponsoring System” to indirectly market your own home based business by sorting through the crowd of online business owners that need your help. The important concept to remember for this next article is this: YOU HAVE TO OFFER SOMETHING OF VALUE TO YOUR PROSPECTS WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS.

Why is Directly Marketing Your Online Business Wasting Time and Money

If you have been marketing your online business for a while now on the internet, you have spent a lot of money to be successful or you haven’t reached success yet. You may have spent a lot of money and still didn’t reach success!

You are wasting Time and Money by directly marketing your business online. Let me rephrase this to give you another perspective: You are leaving a lot of money on the table by directly marketing your home-based business online.

Did that get your attention? Let me give you an example. I’m going to pick 2 popular avenues of internet marketing. The first one is using safelists and the second one is using traffic exchanges. Who advertises here? People that already have a home based business. What are you offering: their own competition.

There are ways to market online but let’s keep in mind the idea of efficiency. If you are marketing a network marketing program, can your downline do what you are doing? If you have enough money to pay high dollar advertising, can the people you recruit into your business do the same? If you pick an advertising method that has a low efficiency, will your downline stay with you?

There are a lot of other factors but I just wanted to enlighten you on a few for the purpose of this article. Let me take this time to introduce you to a concept calls a Funded Marketing Sponsoring System. After you look at this, you will see your program not only in a different light but also a brighter light. When you do online advertising, you have to have some value to offer the person reading your advertising. If you are working with a Funded Marketing Sponsoring System, you are offering anyone reading your ad a way to market their online home based business. What are people looking for on the internet? They are looking for a more affective way to market their home based business! You have a match!

I heard a successful marketer comment that he would not mind spending as much as $10 for each person he recruited into his business. (He wasn’t talking about recruiting into his primary business either!) Have you looked at the price tag on high quality leads lately? You could pay $10 just for the lead and the “prospect” isn’t even interested in your business! I have this saying: “If you call your leads, they are suspects, if your leads call you, they are prospects”. By “suspects”, I mean they think something is up!

What if you paid $10 to get a signup in a Funded Marketing Sponsoring System? If the system is set up properly (referring to “FUNDED”), then after you get it started, this $10 price tag comes out of the revenue you have set up to “FUND” your Marketing Sponsoring System. Let’s go a little deeper with this. You just spent $10 to sponsor someone by showing them what they need to successfully market their home based business. If you were Directly Marketing your own internet business, probably less than 10% of the people you recruited into the Funded Marketing Sponsoring System would be interested in your business. Let’s just say 10%. This would make your cost to recruit one person into your business $100.00. (This is just an example to show you some of the variables.)

NOW, look at the big picture. With a Funded Marketing Sponsoring System, you paid up to $10.00 to recruit one new member and that cost is covered. Without the system, you paid $100.00 to recruit one new member and that cost is not covered.

2 Questions:
Which one can your members do?
Do you know how much money you are leaving on the table?

Another aspect of this Funded Marketing Sponsoring System I would like to share with you in the future is this. If you are involved in the right primary program, it will develop a good long term income for you. In the meantime, wouldn’t you like to be paid by people that said no to your invitation to join your home based business?

Internet Marketing Success, Turn Your Leads into Prospects

If your leads call you, they are prospects. If you call your leads, they are suspects.

When you start in this industry, you will become familiar with the term: Cold Calling. For your own sanity, DO NOT get too familiar with using this concept of marketing your business. Cold Calling is an old style of marketing that is not for the faint of heart. There are people that are really good with this type of marketing but they are in that less than 2% group of internet marketers that are successful. If you do not have a hard heart that can handle this type of hard line marketing and you still desire to be a part of the 2% successful internet marketing business owners, then you need to learn how to turn your “suspects” into “prospects.”

Buying Leads is the fastest way to kill your business. If you want to be successful in your internet business, Stop Buying Leads! You read that right! Unless you personally know the person selling the leads to you, you will have no way of knowing how these people became leads. Most of the leads out there are suspects at best. This means that someone suspected the person might want to start a home based business. The “suspect” probably gave their information online to enter a contest or register for something entirely different than the reason you are calling them.

What does it mean to have this lead become a prospect? To make this short, your lead or prospect needs to have some level of exposure to what you have to offer and they need to have a desire for more information. If you took this last statement alone, you will realize why Cold Calling is so ineffective. When you buy leads from a lead dealer, you are buying generic names, email addresses, phone numbers, and etc. Your leads registered for something and they may be shocked or angered with you contacting them (especially by phone). After calling 100, 200, 500 or more people and having maybe 2% of them take interest then run you around (not making calls, not going to your website and etc). Then, frustration sets in!

It doesn’t have to be this way if you have prospects and not suspects.

To be successful in any business venture, YOU MUST ADVERTISE. From your advertisement(s), you generate leads. If your advertising is describing your business, then your leads are targeted leads. With the competition we have today with internet home businesses, we have to be working with highly efficient marketing strategies. What is the best prospect for any business? If your leads call you, they are prospects. This is the best prospect bar none.

To truly develop your business, you don’t really have to compete as much as you once thought either. There are methods of marketing that you could assist others that are generally your competition and still turn a profit. You will have to be careful with what your marketing system offers to be sure it has the features that will guarantee success.

Your prospect may not call you but with the right marketing system, you will see their names show up as they begin signing up with your marketing system. If you are new to the internet home business scene, I will tell you the truth right now. You will never succeed by throwing mud against the wall and hoping it will stick. What does this mean? Basically, there are internet marketers with years of experience that will out compete you in this game. Do not try to compete against them. Use a marketing system that is strong in features such as traffic generation, a funded business plan and training. By using a strong marketing system and following the procedures, you will meet with that guarantee of success in your home based business that you desire.

Marketing Systems and Ongoing Residual Income

The goal in any network marketing business is to create long-term residual income. Many online businesses are not necessarily ideal for this type of pursuit. If the program that you are involved with produces short-term temporary income, you may want to replace it with a network marketing business that can provide what you are looking for.

There is another type of short-term income that you need to be aware of and you should consider participating in. These are short-term income resources that assist you to build your program. Remember this statement: “You shouldn’t be doing anything that isn’t earning you money!”

How does earning short-term income become a part of developing your long-term residual income in your primary home business? If you plan your strategy right, you can set up your online marketing plan not only to market your program but to do it more efficiently and cost effectively. The goal isn’t to jump into just any program and run with it but it is to have a marketing plan for your home business.

Keep in mind these 2 things.
1. Your long-term income is the residual income you develop with your primary business opportunity. It is the side of your business development that takes some time to develop but will continue paying you even if you stop building it.
2. Your short-term income is the income you develop in companies that you are engaged in where the income will “dry up” if you were to stop building it.

We will get right back to these 2 points in a minute. First, we need to draw some comparisons so you can relate to this better.

When you work for a wage, your income is totally dependent on your time of performance that you put forth and how you are compensated for this. If you quit your job, you will cease to be paid once the compensation agreement has been fulfilled. (In some cases of employment you may be eligible for hours of compensation such as vacation time or sick time if you terminate your employment.) This situation is your short-term income, which is relative to the short-term income from some business opportunities as represented by position number 2 above.

When you take some of your money and do things to create long-term income, you are creating income that is relative to situation number 1 from above. An example of this is if you were to purchase a house and rent it out, you can develop long-term residual income.

Now that we have drawn some parallels to every day life that everyone can understand, let’s talk about how this can work in you home business. We are going to switch the order from above and talk about the short-term income opportunities. We won’t get into the long-term business opportunity because I’m assuming those reading this already have a primary home business and what is needed is a means to assist in the growth of the home business.

Again, we must approach the question that we will try to define in this article: How does earning short-term income become a part of developing your long-term residual income in your primary home business? I learned a long time ago from some top internet marketers how they created massive incomes online. I’m going to relate this to you from the standpoint of a network marketing strategy that is not only cost effective but also very efficient. (Is there an echo in here?) There are some people that have had this concept but they didn’t even know what it was or even that they had it in their hands.

If you have been on the network marketing block awhile, you probably hear this one: “During the California Gold Rush, who made the most money? Was it the prospector or the man selling the tools? It was the man selling the tools!”

This line has been used on us so much that we would join a descent network marketing business, then we would sign up for a tool to market it with and start selling the tool instead of our business. You wonder what happened to our business? NOTHING!

What is needed is a marketing system that pulls these aspects together to make marketing more efficient. Here is what you need to do. You need to put the pieces of this puzzle together so it fits into a pattern. You would introduce people to your marketing system by a variety of marketing techniques. When you have your information out there, will it invite people strong enough to take a closer look and will it then show them the benefits to market their business or will you be telling them to drop what they are doing because your business is better than theirs is? Will you be insulting them or helping them?

If you really desire to be successful, help others to be successful. The purpose of this article is to show you how a well designed marketing system can not only help you with the growth of your home based business but also show you how you can help others along the way and reap the rewards of lowering your costs and creating a more efficient business plan. I did not cover everything I set out to cover here so you will have to keep a keen eye out for more information on this subject.

What’s the Meaning of Making Money Online?

I ran into a discussion and I thought I would share it with you. The discussion was on money and its value. I thought it pertains greatly to being successful while making money online.

When thinking about money, what comes to your mind? How do you feel about money? People in general are misinformed regarding money. They let money dictate who they are and what levels they will achieve. Some people like money and others are indifferent. Some people would like to go back to the days of bartering but most people would rather use money as a medium of trading to make purchases.

Where does this take us regarding making money online or working from home? If we are dealing with money, are we not also dealing with banks? Of course, after all, banks make money (create it) and they set the value of money. This is where our controversies begin to raise their ugly head. You see, banks control money but most people believe governments control the money.

I’m going to go off on a tangent for a minute to make a point. In network marketing, as a business owner (or affiliate marketer), we are the “go between” between the producer and the consumer. The “go between” is the middle man in traditional or the wholesaler. In banking, the bank is the middleman or wholesale in the trade or marketing of money. Once you understand that, you will see banks in a different light. Banks are merchants in money trade even though they are directly related to the creation of money. The reason there is some controversial issues with money and banking is because of the relationship that exists between banks and money creation. Years ago, money was related directly to precious metals that were held by the banking industry. At that point, money had real value.

I remember, sitting in a lecture where the speaker was talking about the value of money and how it has depreciated over time. He talked about what $100 would have bought 100 years ago. He went thru a list of products and services including a suit, haircut, meal and more. He went on to give the average costs of all those items today and the costs was 7-10 times. After relating the cost of living to the equation, the products and services still cost a lot more.

We are going to get back to working from home in just a minute. We have to look at the person or people that have an affliction to someone working for themselves. Most people living today have this “job mentality”. We all grew up in the “job” world. Our parents had jobs and we have jobs. Our children are either just getting into the job market or are working jobs for the summer. That lecture that I sat in, the people 100 years ago worked for themselves. They were entrepreneurs. Read this carefully: MOST PEOPLE DON’T LIKE ENTREPRENERS BECAUSE THEY ARE JELOUS. They don’t have a problem with the owner of their company that THEY WORK FOR. They have a problem with their cousin, sister or friend that they have known all their lives trying to step out of their “role” of being average (or below average) to becoming something. They secretly wish they were rich but they are afraid to do something about it. They also buy the lottery tickets because this is a way of becoming rich without being criticized.

We also feel the same way about money. If we don’t have it, how can we deserve it? If we try to make it, then others that we know (and also don’t have it) will criticize us for trying to break out of our place.

Now you can see why working from home is so difficult. This is a mentality that you have to break through. If you need help, here it is: I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO BE RICH. I’m not God and I can’t give you the ultimate authority but if you want, God himself will give you permission. All you need to do is ask! Unfortunately, some of you will go out and ask your broke neighbor for permission to make money and move into the gated community and he’ll laugh and say, “come on, you know money is not for you, I’ll take my vacation when you take yours and we can both paint our houses together.”

I hope I beat the fear of success out of you so you can move forward and make money from home in your own home based business. You can be successful. We were meant to be successful. There is a saying out there: “money is the root of all evil”. The way it is meant is: “the love of money is the root of all evil”. That’s not quite correct either. Here is what it should be: “money begotten by evil means and used for evil purposes is the root of all evil”. Conversely, “money begotten by good terms and used for good terms is the root of success and the path of love”.

What are your goals? Are they of good intent?

If you need motivation to make money, we need entrepreneurs that are willing to put forth the effort to make money and join us as Humanitarian Ambassadors. All we ask of you is to follow your dream and help someone and work to save our environment.

Internet Marketing Training Solutions

Have you signed up for a new internet marketing business and still don’t know what to do? You decided some time ago that you wanted to work from home but you didn’t know how to get started and there is a lot of information out there.

Maybe you found the business that you want to be marketing but you are still confused about where to market on the internet. There is email marketing, safelist advertising, classified advertising, search engine advertising and the list goes on. You even wonder what a search engine is? There’s a difference between free advertising and paid advertising. There’s traffic exchanges and banner advertising.

One of the most important lessons I have ever learned is to have a system and keep track of what you do. If we look at the system, we have to be sure it can function not only for you and me but also for those that will become part of your business. After all, network marketing is a business design that is meant to have a network of people that work together for the growth of the business. The structure is as important as the products that are being marketed.

Let’s put the products to the side for the purpose of this article. The reason for this is because many of us have different companies that we are marketing products for and our purpose is to be a conveyance of products from the producer to the consumer, nothing more. When talking about a marketing system, we are talking about a system to introduce potential business owners to participate in one or more various aspects of the network marketing business. While talking about the marketing system, we are also talking about a marketing training program as well and this article is a component of an internet marketing training program.

We will break it down to a very simple form. I’m going to take one aspect and that is list building. With this aspect, we will not get into advertising techniques except to remind ourselves that it is the internet advertising and also offline advertising (such as newspaper advertising and mail order advertising) that function to bring list building to fruition.

“THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST.” This is the one statement to remember if you forget everything else in your internet marketing training. Whether we are talking about network marketing, internet marketing, direct sales or any other marketing program, business is conducted by people working with people. This even goes for traditional business. What is the most powerful form advertisement? Word of mouth! In business, when you satisfy your customer, you will get 5, 10 maybe 20 referrals. When you let your customer down or act unprofessional, they will tell EVERYONE they know.

List building. List building is the number one activity for any business owner or network marketer. How you go about this is probably another 1500 articles! Let’s keep it simple. The reason for putting someone on your list is so you “hopefully” have a customer for life. You introduce yourself through your advertising and invite the prospect to join your list. Maybe you didn’t get that. This is the most important line in this article. Read it again: (You introduce yourself through your advertising and invite the prospect to join your list.) No matter how it happens, you are asking your prospect to join your list and they agree. This agreement could be in the form of them filling out a form on a website to sending an email to an autoresponder. Your goal is to add as many good quality prospects to your mailing list as possible so you can keep in touch with them through your mail system. Your mailing system could be them joining your opt-in mail, autoresponder, newsletter, ezine or etc.

There’s 2 distinct factors of your mailing list. First, you are advertising to invite new prospects to your mailing list. The second factor of your mailing list is mailing follow up messages to the people that agreed to join your list. Once you have your business(es) up and running, the people on your list are valuable to you. As an established internet marketer, each member of your list has an average monthly value to you. One major marketer commented that each member of his list is worth $1 per month on average. This doesn’t mean everyone on his list sent him $1 every month but this is the average across everyone that was on his list. If this was a market average, this would mean you could estimate making $1,000 if your list had 1,000 members on it. Of course, you have to have the business or sales opportunities and mailings to your list to make this happen.

Now that you see the value of your mailing list, all you need to do is build it. For the purpose of this article, all I wanted to do is show you the value of your mailing list and the importance of having a “System” to build that mailing list with. Let’s go one step further. Remember, I mentioned how you go about building that mailing list can be about 1500 articles? Let’s keep it simple. Instead of going all over the internet looking for 1500 articles (most of them won’t serve your purpose), keep in touch for more marketing tidbits of information. We will discuss building that mailing list with a generic marketing system. Further, the marketing system is designed to market any business that you are promoting. (We hope you are promoting a valid marketing program as well.)

Do You Want a Guarantee That You Will Make Money Online?

What are you waiting for? Grab a pen.

Be prepared to take some notes and put your reading glasses on so you can read between the lines. I don’t want this to be oversimplified but all you really need is commitment and a system to get you there.

That is oversimplified, isn’t it? Your bottom jaw probably dropped on that last statement. First, let’s take care of commitment. Without this, nothing else matters. If you don’t have a commitment or do not desire to develop one, you will be as effective if you unplugged your computer. (You could save money this way also.) Commitment is something you develop. Most people trying to develop an online business are looking for something for nothing. They don’t want to pay for memberships, tools or marketing costs. But, the most important part is they don’t want to change who they are to become a successful business person.

Commitment is more than attending conference calls. Commitment is more than setting up an autoresponder. Commitment is more than talking to your neighbor about your business this week. Commitment is reading books by Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and Og Mandino. Commitment is learning something new and applying it in your business. Commitment is learning the marketing system that you are using with your business and applying it in your business. Commitment is pushing yourself when you get frustrated, want to quit, or want to watch TV on your business time.

We can write this entire article on Commitment but we need to move on to the main event.

THE SYSTEM

Obviously without Commitment, nothing else matters. But, without a functioning SYSTEM, even the best intentions of Commitment will not be of any value.

We are really stressing a “System” as opposed to throwing undefined efforts of a marketing campaign at your internet business. Just for the sake of acknowledgement, there are quite a number of very successful individuals that do not use a system. They may use one or more marketing procedures and they do all right. Unfortunately for the majority of network marketers, we just do not have deep pockets that we can spend on these marketing programs. Some marketing programs may cost thousands of dollars before you break even and start making a profit. This is fine for someone selling a product through an online business using direct sales. This is not the best procedure or marketing plan for someone that is using internet marketing to build a network marketing business with.

There are a lot of systems out there but let’s get specific. I learned a system years ago but the person that first shared this with me was doing direct sells for his internet business. He was an internet marketer that wasn’t interested in building a sales organization. Recently, I ran across this system (adapted for network marketing) that was being used not only to build a sales organization but further designed to make it profitable for the participants at a faster rate. For the “newbie” network marketer, this is crucial.

The curtain is drawn and out on the stage walks the “new” network marketer. He/she is ready to “make money online”. They tried the offline network marketing businesses, they “bothered” their family and friends and subsequently joined the NFL club (No Friends Left). Now, they are reaching out for the last hope, the opportunity to make up that $300 deficit in their monthly budget, the chance that mom could stay home with Junior that is having difficulty in school.

The dreams are there! Only to be dashed against the cyber wall on INTERNET MARKETING’S GIGANTIC FAILURE RATE!

Is this fair? Of course not. As a reader of this article, is it your goal to throw those dreams away? Do you have COMMITMENT? If you have Commitment, the system is there.

What is the SYSTEM? What I was taught years ago was to concentrate your advertising to focus on a low cost product. The purpose of this is the build your list. List building is one of the most important activities you can do. Your low cost product is not designed to make you money but to cut the cost of building your list. Once you build your list, then you can sell other higher cost products to this list. You already spent the money necessary to obtain your customers on this list. Now you have customers that cost you little to no money to maintain.

The “System” that I’m talking about as it pertains to network marketing is: the Funded Sponsoring Franchise System. In this System, you have a free system that provides the structure and the training for the individual business owner. The new marketer can join for free and look around. If he/she decides to participate with the System, they can participate fully or partially. It is their preference. (They have to ultimately determine their own level of Commitment.) The overall purpose of the system is to provide a means for them to promote their primary business and at the same time eliminate the costs of their marketing efforts. The “System” will provide a means for them to make immediate income that they could use to “Fund” their costs of marketing.

Learn How to Market Any Internet Business and Zero Your Marketing Costs

When I joined the internet after hearing how wonderful it was, I knew I would have fists full of dollars! Here were the benefits:

You can advertise for free
You send your information on Safelist to people that sign up
You sign up to advertise on FFA pages
You get an email address that you plan not to go to

What is wrong with this? Nothing, if you want NOTHING in return.

Let’s get real! Some of this stuff works but will the people using these marketing techniques share how it works? Probably not! Actually, I have had 2 successful people that use Free Safelists tell me how to make it work. I didn’t like either way although it works for them. (So I won’t share it here, LOL)

I learned a long time ago from 3 very successful marketers a system that a number of the “gurus” were using to rake in $millions$. They weren’t doing Network Marketing but they were marketing on the Internet. Their sales was more in line with Direct Sales but they were making money online.

Internet Marketing has a lot of advantages over offline marketing. Most people don’t think of direct sales in relation to internet marketing. If you have a product or service that you want to market through newspaper advertising or mail order marketing, you can use some marketing tests by marketing online to test your marketing campaign. You will learn more about that as you continue with your marketing training.

Everyone else said this was E-A-S-Y, but I won’t. I want to share with you some of what I learned from the “gurus” then I want to show you what you need to be doing if you are doing network marketing instead of direct sales. First, what they told me was to sell a product at such a low cost that most people would not be too concerned over price. This would not put a lot of money in your pocket but it would cover some of the cost of your marketing. They also said this was not designed to even break even. The purpose of this was to develop a “LIST” of customers that you could sell your higher cost products to.

Ok, that is enough from the “gurus” to make a point. Below is a requirement list to make a successful business.

If Your Business Isn’t Growing, You Didn’t Learn to do This

You need to be able to make immediate money
You need to generate your own leads
You need to develop a team
You need to have immediate access to training
You need to have a System that others can follow
You have to be able to develop Residual Income

Now, I can leave you hanging or invite you to get more free information! This is Great, you are still here!

How Did We Ever Put the Environment and Internet Marketing Together?

Let’s face it. We have all been TOO Involved in our every day lives to notice what is happening to the environment. We have found a way to pull together and get something done while we are engaged in building our internet businesses. We want you to be well informed but we also want you to be able to take action as well. (From a Financial Standpoint)!

As you are reading this, many of you are thinking, “I already have a business.” This is fine, really. For your business to succeed, do you need to be here? Do you need customers? We have too many Environmental and Humanitarian needs to just ignore. WE NEED YOUR HELP! HELLO! ! !

If you are building a business, read this. If you are or are not building a business, (either way), we want you to join with us to save the Environment. THIS IS SERIOUS, FOLKS.

We are putting together a newsletter: The Environmental Action Network. The subscription information will be added soon. Through this newsletter, not only will we keep Environmental and Humanitarian information in front of you but you will see how we will financially support our mission Putting The Environment and Internet Marketing Together.

The Environmental Action Network

We are looking for Environmentally concerned people that are willing to learn what we can do to make a difference. It is imperative that we do something now or we will only have a short time to regret doing nothing. ccrider

ccrider:Global Warming is the evidence of many things we are doing wrong by not taking the time to learn and care about our planet. We need to change or face the realities that we are surely not prepared for.

To our joint success in our mission,
Your Humanitarian Ambassador,
