    How to Make Money For Real!
    I have tried EVERYTHING on the internet. I have always wanted the freedom to stay at home with my kids, and not have financial worries. I will be honest that I have not made the kind of money these programs say or in the amount of time they say, but with persistence and patience I have just quit my job and am earning a modest income. I am raising three children, have a mortgage, a car payment, and credit card debt. With the way things are going now I will be credit card debt free within three months. I finally have money to spend and I am not pinching every penny. Please realize that you have to spend money to make money. As cliche as this sounds it is very true. I know from first hand experience. It does not take a genius to learn these progra
    ks. No checks. Threats of losing it all. Losing it all. Etc. Etc.

    But above it all I would never make claims to earnings that I hadn't personally experienced. It just goes against my internal 'grain' when I see others doing this.

    Why would you want to tell someone that they can/might make half a million a year when you yourself are only making $12 a month in your deal.

    Oh, of course the POTENTIAL for MLM success is there, right?

    Yeah. And the POTENTIAL is there for ALL of us to be the NEXT Dexter Yeager.

    You see, if we're going to legitimize this industry in any way MLMers have to stop writing those types of ads to suck people in. And MLM wannabes have to stop believing in those types of ads and responding to them.

    Viral Email Marketing: Give Your Readers a Reason to Forward to a Friend
    One of the big advantages of email marketing is the potential for new customers to see your message through Forward to a Friend. Just because you have a strong subscriber list and an aggressive emarketing campaign does not mean your email will be sent on by your readers. Give them something to talk about though, and you may get impressive results. Here’s what you may want your readers to say to their friends, and some ideas about how to encourage them.“Got this great coupon and thought you could use it too” Offer an online coupon that gives real value, is only available to your subscribers and then give them permission to pass it on to their friends. If you give 20% off coupons in every ad, then don’t expect any viral marketing here.
    I've been taking a close look at a lot of the MLM success type advertising that people do for MLM online. And to say the least, it's amazing.

    It's hard to believe that MLMers, or MLM wannabe's, actually still think that people will believe you if you write in your ad...

    'Make $575K This Year!'

    or...

    'Enroll 100's With Our Easy System'

    or even still...

    'Guaranteed Income. People Beg To Join.'

    It really amazes me that people still think that we're that stupid, yes - stupid, that we would fall for these ads. Especially online.

    Who would actually believe that they could make over half a million dollars in less than twelve months? Think about it.

    I know that if I could have that kind of MLM success and make that kind of money then I would be doing everything I can to keep making it day after day and year after year. I wouldn't be telling people how to do it because I'd want to keep it to myself until I had the millions I wanted.

    But do you really think that with all the hundreds of ads like these that one sees online that there are really that many millionaires doing MLM?

    If so many people have an MLM success system that automatically enrolls hundreds or makes money like mad or is so easy people will 'walk over broken glass and then pour iodine and salt in their wounds' to phone you and join your deal, then why are so many people failing at MLM?

    Kind of a tough question to answer.

    But let me give you a couple of insights that I had on all this MLM success stuff a while back.

    Most of you know who Dexter Yeager is, right? He's the guy who started out in Amway in the 1950's when it first got started.

    Now he's a billionaire. Literally.

    Now, do you think it would be fair to people to tell them that they too can be an MLM success story like Dexter Yeager? No, of course not.

    But this is what is going on with these ads that we see.

    People are being told that they too can be successful in MLM. It's easy. Simple. No work involved. All one has to do is join the MLM deal and wait for the checks to roll in.

    But do you think this is realistic? Is it realistic to believe that anyone can do today what Dexter did back then?

    I'd say that nowadays it's virtually impossible to reach the level of MLM success that Dexter reached. Why?

    Because the world is different. People are different. Economics are different. Technology is different. And 60 years of MLM history are involved now.

    Back in Dexter's day MLM was a different beast. Not necessarily easier.

    Just different.

    So would it be moral and ethical to tell someone that they could have his level of MLM success in the 21st Century? In my opinion...No.

    So let me ask you...Why do people still believe that it's okay to prey upon the unsuspecting by telling them all that income and enrolling stuff I described earlier?

    Why? Because that is what people want to hear today. They still want to believe that they can be the next MLM success story.

    They still want to believe that they can be the next Dexter.

    Essentially, people still have hope.

    And because of this, that is why we still see these ads that promise instant MLM riches for all.

    Now, there's one thing that really bugs me about all these ads. And perhaps a lot of my angst over seeing them has to do with my personal history with MLM.

    I've had my fair share of experiences with MLM. Ups. Downs. Decent checks. No checks. Threats of losing it all. Losing it all. Etc. Etc.

    But above it all I would never make claims to earnings that I hadn't personally experienced. It just goes against my internal 'grain' when I see others doing this.

    Do You Know How To Find The Best Car Loan?
    People will spend months or even years planning to buy a car. They will work hard to build good credit. They will search for just the right make and model. They will scope out the various dealers and sales staff sometimes even comparing service departments too. Then they will sign on the dotted line for the first loan the sales person offers.What is wrong with this picture?It is important to remember that if you have good credit then you are a dream customer to most lenders. Even if your credit is not perfect you are still an attractive client for many lenders.Repeat this mantra whenever a lender acts as if they are doing you a favor by lending you money: I am going to give them a lot of money. Yes, you are. They can negotiate a sw

    Search Engine Submission DOES Work!
    Search Engine Submission is basically a pain in the rear end. I am sorry to be so blunt but really to get your business into the search engines it either costs you a fortune in time or money.So is it really worth submitting your website to the search engines? Too right it is. I run a number of businesses and for the last 4 years I have been using search engine submission to increase my business turnover globally. This is how I know it works.For the 1st few months I had my websites submitted to the search engines every single month religiously. I noted as the time progressed so did my Google ranking and my global sales. Then I decided to stop. This was a silly move because what happened was my competitors muscled in on my ranking and as my

    Seven Steps To Great Print Ads
    1. Choose the right creative approach.Who are you selling to? What are they buying — really? Choose the angle that will attract customers’ attention, stimulate their interest, and “hook” them on what you offer. Don’t be in a hurry to start writing your ad. There are several components to the creative approach that must be decided before creative work begins.You’ll need to: - Identify the target market. - Define the offer — will you be promoting your overall brand, or a specific product or product line? - Choose a benefit with emotional appeal. What problem are you going to solve? What disaster will you keep at bay? Substantiate the claim. Prove how the company, the service, or the product delivers the benefit promised.

    Underemployment: What It Is And How You Can Avoid It
    Underemployment is typically when you are employed in a position that does not fully utilize your skills and is probably a position that is not ideally suitable for you at this stage in your career.Letting yourself get into this position can cause bigger problems long term but can also have immediate negative effects on your career.In my experience as a recruiter, being underemployed can be dangerous for a number of reasons, all of which can hurt your long-term success:People who experience underemployment tend to feel desperate to change jobs.When you are desperate to change jobs, this usually becomes obvious to hiring managers and recruiters. No one wants to hire a desperate person but if you know you are underemplo

    Yes, I know we're all in this to sign people up into our deal. And even if we can bait them with the PROMISE of big MLM earnings then what's the harm in that right?

    Well, let me ask you - how long do you think your local lottery would be around if they posted an advertisement on every billboard in town that read...

    'WIN $1,000,000 TODAY!'

    Do you think they'd not be shut down pretty quickly by the local authorities?

    Well, how is this any different than reading one of those MLM success ads that state...

    'EARN $500K This Year!'

    It's not any different.

    But for some reason people want to believe it is true in MLM.

    So, what have we learned about all this?

    Well, next time you read these ads that tout this kind of language, now you know what the real POTENTIAL is with that deal.

    Let me ask you, do you think you can be the next Dexter Yeager? Don't take this the wrong way - but what are the chances of you being the next MLM billionaire?

    Slim? Next to nothing?

    Again, the POTENTIAL for MLM success might be there like these ads tout. But it's there for everyone.

    See what is the actuality of the deal. And ask yourself 'How likely is one to make that kind of dough in their (next) deal?'

    So to sum up in one neat sentence...

    Just do what you can to keep a wary, logical mind when responding to any kind of MLM success ad or promotion.

    Sure the promise might be there. But who's going to be there for YOU when the money doesn't come rolling in?

    And if you happen to find a deal that works in reality you'll hopefully discover for yourself your own level of MLM success.

    And isn't that what we all are in this wonderful deal for?
