Article Marketing for MLM -5 Elements EVERY Article MUST Have?
August 4, 2011 by 20 Comments
mlm article marketing for home business
Home business and
Article Marketing go hand in hand. The two are made for each other. One is a vehicle and the other helps drive the engine.
Article marketing I have been doing for nearly 10 years. It has been an amazing way to meet people as well as get a message out.
And of course, to train as well as educate the folks on some pretty cool things. Ahem.
Now I am going to get up on my soap box.
Recently I have been observing some articles that are…well…let’s just say are less than quality content. Ezine articles got smart. Chris Knight over at ezinearticles.com decided to go to 500 words per articles because a lot of articles were disguised advertisements for a lot of affiliate marketing, MLM, as well as internet marketing scams.
It is all over the place. Low quality articles that are deceptive at best.
I just shake my head when it comes to social media articles and what I call the teaching and practice of “Deception Marketing.”
It is a total lack of ethics and integrity.
I am amazed by a lot of the social networking articles on the article marketing resources. Many neophytes in network marketing and social media try to come across as network marketing “experts” and social media “experts.” And when a little research is done-you find that many of the authors have not even been in the business 5 years- or even 3. They simply are doing what they have been taught to do and doing it over and over.
And they pitch and sell-pitch and sell- and pitch and sell.
Nothing wrong with that I guess.
Or is that really what articles are supposed to do?
And another thing I have found is that many of their articles contain little or no training or any useful information that will help people in their issues with life.
Now I have a REAL issue with that.
If you are honestly going to write an article as an “expert” – then give them expert advice, training, or something of VALUE.
COME ON folks!
Tough to do-if you have not done it. I have done it a lot-and done it in a big way. The training articles of Deception Marketing also contain mostly the same old warmed over stuff- the same ideas, tactics, and the same verbiage that has been out in the article directories for years. I call it “Recycled Mold.” The info is so old, it contains marketing mold.
What happened to the USP? Or even being unique and SETTING YOURSELF APART?
Or even branding yourself as something different?
Well, maybe I am wrong- but I believe there are 5 Elements that a Network Marketing Social Media article should contain on any article resource directory in Article Marketing:
1) Unique training and information-NOT just useless selling.
Many people are looking for SOLUTIONS-not to be sold something. I have a lot of emails that people are asking why that all the trainings in these directories are a bait ands switch? They promise training but end up getting pitched on the newest deal or “opportunity.”
Been there as well as I have taken the time to look up other topics in article directories and found that good old Deception Marketing. And again- having a resource box with an offer is GREAT and that is how you do it. But let’s just not pitch in the article itself. It gives all of the authors in MLM /Social Media a black eye and bad rap.
GIVE some training / information as that is expected in an article is it not? That is what “experts” do- if there is really such a thing. GIVE something UNIQUE that will HELP people- and solve a problem for them. You will be taking your articles up to a whole new level. Get rid of the same ol same ol and THINK like an expert- write like an expert- and get creative like an expert would. That is the minimum we all should do.
2) A SOLUTION that has PROVEN to WORK.
THAT is imperative. If you are going to get in the article network marketing and social media marketing zone- make your article SOLUTION focused– not selling focused. That is what a Social Media and MLM “expert” does.
People are seeking answers to problems. They are looking for how to’s-not “here -buy this.” Create a solution for people- a REAL solution-not something that is disguised as one to sell something. Build your credibility, not your gullibility.
3) A Presentation- not a Pitch.
Articles are an information source- and a training haven. Professional authors understand that you want to create a BOND and RELATIONSHIP with the person reading your article. They will stay with you and read your blog and other articles. THAT is money in the bank. They will become raving fans of yours- instead of resentful foes that feel cheated by your article.
If you PITCH someone in your article- you have developed a short term relationship. If you PRESENT a solution or an answer- you are well on your way to developing a long term relationship-the secret to successful article marketing.
4) Your Article must contain IMPACT.
Impact is the key to a great article. Your article must create a “Wow” impact- and show them you are a TRUE expert-not someone pretending to be. The social media “gurus” teach personal branding. We have for years as well. But it takes 3 things to be branded as an Expert:
TIME.
EXPERIENCE.
CREATIVE KNOWLEDGE.
Impact is a fruit of “been there-done that” and the social proof that you are truly an expert. Impact is a fruit of having the KNOWLEDGE that experts that can Impact people in a powerful way. And Impact is taking a “TINY” focus- “Their Interests Not Yours.” Their interest in your article for the most part, is learning and solving. Make sure that your article has that within it- and you will have the impact to move people to want to know more about you.
5) Your Article MUST Contain ENOUGH Content AND – Content that is Valuable and Worth Reading.
I see a lot of “articles” of 75-100-words that only there for one reason it seems–to point to the resource box. THAT is what I call an “Article Pitch” or “Pretend Article.” It is PURE Deception Marketing. They use an article to “pitch” their offer and dilute all of the other articles in the directory.
There used to be a commercial asking “Where’s the BEEF?” Well- Where’s the Content? And many of the article directories today have gone to a minimum of 600 words to insure there IS content that is worth reading.
Now yes, there are really good articles in these directories from some really great writers. It is not all “fake it and write it.” There are great newer authors as well as older ones–that are VALUE focused– not Volume focused.
One is focused on giving Value to the reader- and the other to sell Volume for themselves. One is short term and the other is long term.
Guess which one is the most successful at building business? Yep- the Value focused article that delivers.
I have been blessed to write the last 8 years over 1000 on line published articles on over 300 directories-so I know a little bit about this. Let’s quit pretending to be authors and start giving TRUE Value first- THEN build a connection with the reader about what you have to offer.
It is CONNECT –> DIRECT–> BUILD.
Connect with the reader with TRUE Solution Based Value. Direct them to your offer through your resource box. Build a relationship with them then, through a blog,conference calls, or newsletter.
Folks, as we say from my home state of Texas: This ain’t rocket science. It is simply understanding the process.
You will have so much more success in your Social Network Marketing efforts if you are HONEST and INTEGRITABLE about your writing and delivering content via article marketing. If you oppose Deception Marketing like I do, great. if you practice it then do not be surprised if you stay frustrated with your MLM Network Marketing Home Business.

Home Business Training- 5 Reasons Why You Hear the Word “NO?”
August 2, 2011 by Leave a Comment
home business NO
Home business entrepreneurs have to understand that they will run up against resistance.
I do mean Resistance. But not the kind that is physical. It is more mental and psychological. It is more emotional. But it is as devastating to some people as actually physical resistance.
It comes in the form of the word “NO.” Yeah yeah. I can hear you now. “I HATE the word NO!”
Ok…but do you KNOW WHY that you are getting that answer a lot? Have you studied the reasons why? Maybe I can help you understand better why this is happening.
Many people that have a home business face the fact that they get a never ending string of No’s and never really understand why. They end up getting discouraged, and then many simply walk away because they cannot handle the negative outcomes that keeps their MLM business in the doldrums.
Why do people continue to think that what they are doing is going to work if it isn’t working NOW? Amazingly, they continue to say and do the same things over and over and expect different results.
Yeah right. As if that is going to work.
And one of the biggest reasons that they get the word NO more than YES, is they do not understand why the prospect tells them NO. It really is quite simple to understand. But the average distributor/consultant does not think of that. They have an agenda and will stick to that agenda no matter what.
That is why they are average. Ahem.
They simply do not connect to the reality that what they are doing is encouraging the prospect
to say NO, not YES.
What if you could discover the 5 Biggest reasons that prospects say No?
Would that make a difference in your Success efforts? Of course it would. You have a goal of Success in your home business. But your prospect’s results are going to determine how your business goes.
So should you care about why they are telling you NO? OF COURSE! And that is the reason why for this article. So what are the 5 reasons why prospect’s tell you NO?
1) Lack of Perceived or Thought of VALUE.
One of the biggest mistakes made in networking and in home businesses, is not creating enough VALUE in what you are saying. You need to create extreme VALUE with your products, business, and especially your Leadership.
It is ALL ABOUT VALUE. No matter if it is social media, offline or internet marketing.
Value is what people are looking for. Value is what people are expecting. Value is what people demand, and if you do not create that with your conversation, then you probably are headed for the NO ZONE.
The NO ZONE is where lack of Value lives, and does it’s ugly work.
2) Bad Timing in the Prospect’s Life.
Many prospect’s life is not conducive for having a networking home business. Not every one has the perfect time for that. Some prospect’s have things going on in their life that you may not know about. Divorce. Finding a new job. Relationship challenges with kids. Parental challenges. Emotional challenges.
Many people have different things in their life going on that may prevent them from joining you in your business, or even purchasing a product. Don’t freak if that happens. They may even be in an emotional funk. That is ok. That will pass. You can talk to them again. Don’t get all upset and depressed.
Just go to the next name on your list.
3) Prospect does not feel comfortable with you.
OUCH! This one HURTS!
You may not sense it. You may not feel it. You may be oblivious to it. But it is there. The body language. The looking away. The silence. Not returning your phone calls.
Sometimes, the prospect simply does not feel comfortable with you. You really have done nothing wrong. You may have done a lot of things right. But yet,they do not feel comfortable with you. If this happens, and they say NO, ask them a simple question” “Help me understand this, Did I do something wrong in the process of sharing this with you?”
Odds are they will not tell you the truth, but they will know that you sense something that is not right. Move on to the next prospect and connect to that prospect in a powerful way.
4) They are Assuming the Wrong Things.
Many prospects assume that they have already heard this “pitch” before, and lump you into all the other network presentations they have heard. They assume you are no different. They assume you are only after their money. They assume you are not a professional. They assume you will disappear like all the others did.
Don’t.
Keep in touch and let them know of the updates as well as the Success you experience. Do not let their assuming that you are like all the others become the truth. Do something different. Be a professional. Stay in touch. Do not beg. Forget the business. Focus on the relationship.
You will be glad you did.
5) Bad Experience with a previous Company or Product.
“My mind is made up. Do NOT confuse me with the truth. I am living in the past.”
That is the slogan for these folks.
They simply do want to listen to you as they are still stinging from the last one that did not work. Or the last network marketing product that did not work. Or the last promise that did not work. Or the last person that became a part of the witness protection plan.
If someone tells you NO because they have had a bad experience with another home business company or product- say this:
‘Thank you for sharing that with me and I am so sorry. That is not right for anyone to get treated like that. Please tell me what happened as I do care about this and would like to make it up somehow…that is just not right.” And then listen to the prospect and let them talk. Many times they will talk themselves into doing business with you. Happened to me a lot.
Do not think it will work? Try it. You will be surprised.
These are the 5 Biggest reasons why prospects tell you NO. Learn them, and then turn them into something that will work FOR YOU- not against. Many times a NO is simply a “NOT NOW” in your Networking Home Business. Keep in touch, and keep in the Success Road.
NO is NOT the final word in many instances. They say “NO” because they do not “KNOW” yet. Sometimes, it takes more information, more education, sampling the product, another three way call, another post or video. This is critical that you NEVER accept NO as the final word.
NO = Not Now. Try again in the future. And keep focused on the ultimate goal: Getting a string of YESES for your home based business.
How do you turn your business around in 1 Minute or Less?

MLM Social Media- The Recruiting Phrase that PULLS People In?
August 2, 2011 by 2 Comments
mlm social media recruiting
Home Business Social media
today has many home business owners looking for ways to recruit, sponsor, and build teams of distributors and consultants. You may be one of them. Or you may be considering a home business for yourself but you are still in the due diligence stage.
Been there, done that.
But it is all good.
If you are seeking a home business, then this brief post may help you when you decide which company you are going to go with.
In social media, WORDS RULE.
You read that right.
The conversations you post, comment on, record video, blog about, update about, and tweet, ALL RULE what your Magnetism is going to be in the home business social media arena.
There is a little phrase that we have used for years, but has proven to be VERY powerful in social media communication. These words have helped recruit thousands of people as well as Leaders. Leaders LOVE this kind of language and communication. and of course so do people that are on social media that you are connecting with as well.
What are the words that have proven to have the magnetism of a Magnet on Steroids?
Imagine this scenario: You are in social media, say on LinkedIn, and you are communicating with a new friend or associate. You are posting and reading their updates, and your friend is sharing a complaint with you about her job…and you simply say…
“Imagine the feeling of not having to worry about that stress anymore…How would that feel?”
or…
‘Imagine the feeling of finally getting away from all that pressure and making more money that you are currently….how would that feel?”
or…
“Imagine the feeling of having that same freedom that your company owner does and take off to Cancun like she just did and not worry about the cost. How would that feel?”
This phrase…”Imagine the Feeling…How would that feel?” has recruited more prospects than almost any other phrase I have taught in mlm social media. It can and WILL work for you if you use it in your social media home business.

Home Business Training- Top 10 Mistakes Made in MLM Network Marketing?
August 1, 2011 by
Home Business Top 10 Mistakes
For Home Business success, it is very important to know WHAT TO DO in network marketing.
No doubt.
if you do not know what to do, then you will find yourself chasing your tail and accomplishing very little. I know. I did that for 3 years. Fortunately there are great uplines as well as trainers that can teach you EXACTLY what to do in your home business including social media, recruiting, internetwork marketing, prospecting, team building, and other topics.
But….
Sometimes it is as good to know what NOT TO DO as well. Mistakes in this profession can not only kill your business, but also your dreams and ambition for Success. if i had not studied Success and leadership, and understood this, I might not be writing this today. I might be flipping hamburgers or something. You never KNOW!
Over the last 25 years, I have found there are 10 big mistakes that are made over and over, and most often do not realize they are making them. So to help you in your MLM Home Business, here are the Top 10 Mistakes that are made in MLM and Network Marketing home business:
1) Listening to People Who Have Never Succeeded.
Amazing.
People that have never really succeeded at anything in their life suddenly become the authority on Success, and try to talk you out of this amazing profession. Do NOT let that happen, as that is like listening to a garage mechanic when you have a serious heart problem- or a tree farmer when you have need of surgery- or vice versa.
Listen to those who have done it and are willing to help you in your home business. I cannot tell you how many people told me not to waste my time when I got started. These people nearly pulled me out of this home business profession. Today, they look at me and say I got “lucky” and could not repeat the Success.
Wrong. It is amazing how people are when you prove them wrong. Even your family.
2) Talking About the Past and what has Not Happened – Constantly.
Folks- THE PAST is OVER. MOVE ON. Do NOT dwell in the past. It is history. LEARN from the past- but do not re-live it or live in it everyday. It simply is too damaging to your dreams for your home business in MLM.
The secret to succeeding outrageously during hard times is keeping you and your prospects- FORWARD FOCUSED. Keep them looking toward where you are TAKING THEM– not what has already taken them.
Did you GET THAT? Keep them focused on where you are taking them- not what someone has said or got them to believe that has taken them for a ride of mediocrity in life.
3) Saying You are Going to Keep Trying.
Although it is Noble and admirable, THAT is a mistake! As trying in network marketing promotes weakness and is bound for mediocrity and will never be anything except the language for the failure.
There is no TRY- it is either ENGAGE- to not. It is either TAKE ACTION or not .
If you take action saying “I am going to try,” then what you are really saying is “I am going to give a half hearted effort and see what happens.”
How about- “I am going to hit this one out of the park – no matter what anyone says. I am finished trying- I am now in the Victory Mode!”
People will FEEL that from you- and respond accordingly. People follow winners and Leaders.
4) Talking to the Same Market.
Get out of your comfort zone in your home business market- and go find some people you don’t know and change their lives. Quit talking with people in the same mindset as everyone else that has told you NO. Get out- interrupt your pattern you have developed- and start a new one.
Get Uncomfortable- as that is the secret to Success in a Home Business. Talk to people you do not know to stretch your possibilities and grow your skills.
Hold 2 Conversations a day with NEW people you do not know. CONNECT with them in the social media arena, or out in the grocery store. Now you are talking a wealth mindset.
The 2 Most important 2 words to create New Success: “New Conversations.”
5) Continuing using the Same language that has proven NOT to Work.
Patterns and Routines can kill your success. Especially one that do NOT WORK.
Many people will continue to talk themselves out of this business. They will continue to say, “I hope this works,” “Well, I will see what happens,” “I am just not good at this.”
WRONG! You are GREAT at this!
Release that part of you deep inside. Quit talking the language of the Mediocre and putting yourself down. When you do that, unknowingly, you are programming yourself for that to happen.
Change your language- and focus.
Start focusing on what you are going to SUCCEED at. Start talking your “Success Language.” “This next quarter is going to be the best 3 months of my life- and my business is going to be INCREDIBLE- no matter what recession happens. I am going to show people how to thrive during it.”
6) Going the Same Places as You Always Have.
Change your locations that you do business. WHAT??? I LOVE My grocery store. Great. Just go to a different one for some frozen food and start new conversations with people you do not know.
Folks, THIS INCLUDES Social Media. Find new niche sites. Find new social networking sites that few are working. Find new groups on facebook and LinkedIn and join them, and then start befriending them.
LEARN THIS: The Huge Success you are looking for will be hidden in conversations that you were afraid to Start.
7) Thinking You are a Part Time Distributor or Consultant.
You are in a part time wealth vehicle. And you are NOT just a part time rep. You are working a secondary business that will end up being your primary income. (READ THAT AGAIN.)
If you just got that- then people will start feeling something totally different in your words- and start responding in a different manner as well.
MYTH: You have to leave your kids and family to work this business as it needs to be worked!
Wrong. You do NOT have to constantly leave your life and go and work this business leaving your family behind. That is a formula for stress and guilt. You work this business as you live your life. You take it with you. You leave it behind with people. You let it talk while you do what you do when you are living your life.
It is called ‘Lifestyle Marketing.” You live your lifestyle and work your business as you do. Let off the pressure and guilt. Live your life- and take your business with you and talk to people as you are out and about. Talk to people about who they know. Talk to people about how you love your secondary business- as it is portable and flexible.
You will FEEL SO Much better. People will be thinking, ” Now, I can do THAT!”
9) Following Up, and NOT Following Through.
Most people do not know this, but when you think “follow up,” you are totally agenda driven and people FEEL that in your words and in your actions. It has a “I want something” tone to it.
A “Follow through” is a SHIFT– and it is not wanting something- but COMPLETING something. And psychologically, people will respond to that in a much more powerful fashion. We taught that to our Leaders for years- and they ‘got it.”
The secret to Phil Mickelson’s mind boggling golf game- according to him- is his Follow Through. If your follow through is great, everything before it worked too. He COMPLETES the golf swing– not just takes one.
Follow through has a whole different feel to the prospect than follow up. If you do that, you will see what I mean. People LOVE the Feeling of someone completing something.
Why? Many folks simply do not so that.
10) Thinking it is what you DO that will create Success for you the Next 90 Days.
Let me be clear about something- ALL actions taken produce results. Right or Wrong. Most people get the wrong results continually.
Why?
It is NOT about taking action that will produce Success for you in the next 90 days. Millions will take action and still struggle in their home business– with network marketing, social media, internet marketing, and whatever they do.
It is NOT about Action- but what is BEHIND THE ACTION.
It is not that a race car can go 250 miles per hours that is pushing it. It is what is behind it and inside of it that makes that possible. Same way for an athlete. It is what is BEHIND the action and Inside of it that drives it. It is the same way in a great presentation. It is the emotion BEHIND it that drives it. Same way in Networking.
It is how you PURPOSELY SEE the result in your mind-which then takes over and influences your actions dramatically-almost “programming” of sorts what will happen. It is kind of cool how God made that, and it really is powerful.
Image the Success result that you want in an action and then once you have soaked your brain with it continually- then take the action- expecting that result. If it does not work a once- keep going, it will. Been doing that for years.
Actions are great to take- no doubt- but Imaged Actions are the type of actions that TAKE YOU- to a whole new level of result.
These are the Top 10 Mistakes that Many Distributors Make in MLM and Network Marketing Are YOU?
May I suggest that you do not in your Network marketing home business. AVOID these mistakes at ALL COST. No matter if you are only doing ONE- get rid of it. It will make a big difference in your home business success.
Triple the Number of Leads you have OVERNIGHT- GUARANTEED!

Home Business- The Social Media Success Path-The 4 I’s?
July 30, 2011 by
home business social media
Home Business Social Media.
There are many great trainings out in the marketplace, and many great trainers. But this article could rock your world.
The plethera of great social media home business trainings out in the marketplace are amazing. I love reading and learning and new ideas. Especially in social media. We have developed more business internationally via social media then we ever thought we would and it has been quite an effort we have put in.
Home business social media training is getting to be one of the most powerful educational field in MLM and Network Marketing. That is why at Passionfire that we have been training for 6 years in this powerful media. There are great people as well that I truly admire that are great in social media as trainers. Diane Hochman, Jackie Ulmer, among others.
Many people like them in social media market products, messages, ideas, books, CDs, trainings, ebooks, audio books, member sites, health products, travel products, legal products, and many other things.
We all are marketing something.
And in every business strategy, there is some form of a process.
A process is a step by step PATH that you can follow and it produces the RESULTS or destination that you are looking for. Many folks in social media follow a process whether on twitter, facebook, youtube, flicker, and any other social site. Just check their online tutorial. It shows you for the most part, a step by step process on how to use the social site.
But what about Marketing?
Most people that are marketing in social media have a message that they are marketing.
Yes, I have a message as well, and it is about Home Business and Social Media Marketing Success as part of it.
Ok. Let’s get REAL.
A message without an audience is nothing more than a great conversation with yourself.
You MUST get it out and in front of people. THAT is how you create a business. Exposure-Exposure- Exposure.
How can you create Exposure for your Home business Message or Products that will MOVE PEOPLE to want to know more and to possibly purchase your program, product, or message?
A billionaire told me this once: “The average marketer moves products. The highly successful wealthy marketer MOVES PEOPLE.”
Amen!
HOW can you start a “People Moving Process” that will help insure your network marketing efforts are not in vain?
We developed a while back the “4 Is of Social Media Marketing.” The last 3 years we have been blessed to increase our online revenues by an incredible amount — by using this process in social media, and in other online marketing efforts. We cannot go into detail the minute details of the process due to lack of time, but we can overview this powerful process.
What are the 4 I’s?
1) INFORM.
The marketing process starts with informing folks of your message or home business products. This is a result of creating an exposure of YOU and your message. You first must connect with people, and build that bridge of trust, and then you can start informing them of your message of VALUE.
You can do this with many vehicles, including free ebooks, white papers, articles, videos, and podcasts.
You can inform people how your message will help transform their life and future. You can see people doing this with some amazing health tips or success tips sent out and info as well. And you can see GREAT information on many social sites and blogs as well.
Giving out HOT information for all to use freely is one of the great secrets of home buiness social media marketing. Lose control of your information and watch it virally market like crazy. Inform people of who you are, why they should listen to you, and what you or your product can do for their life to take it to a radical new level.
Once again, do this with videos, blog posts, mp3s, notes, tweets, pictures, direct messages, social email, free ebooks, and other social tools for exposure.
2) IMPACT.
Your MLM message must IMPACT people.
It must MOVE THEM on the inside so they will take action on the outside. (READ THAT AGAIN!)
This is how you get people to move towards you to learn more about your product or message.
Stir them Emotionally with NEW information that they can apply, or move them with:
a) HOPE of solving a problem.
b) A HOW TO they have been looking for and seeking.
c) NEW POSSIBILITIES for their life.
e) LITTLE KNOWN INFORMATION but applicable and highly useful information.
d) A DISCOVERY of a new website, new podcast, blog, or video that will MOVE THEM emotionally and give them something that they find valuable.
Become KNOWN that YOU are a deliverer of Practical, Powerful, and Unique information, that points to your message or product. Example: if you market a nutritional product- give out GREAT nutritional tips that will help people via blog posts, articles, videos, or any other media that works for your message.
I call it “Sample Results.” Give them some “samples” of results they can achieve by listening to you and purchasing your products. You do this with great, valuable information they can use.
STIR THEIR EMOTIONS with IMPACT. If you do this, your power to move people will explode.
3) INVITE.
There is a powerful tactic that is all part of social media marketing. We call it the “TIO Factor.”
TAKE IT OFFLINE.
To really market to people in social media, you must Take It Offline. You want to establish a more personal and trust soaked relationship. You rarely can do that by just being online.
You do this, by inviting people to special conference calls, training webinars, live online seminars, and local meetups. This is where you can EXPAND YOUR MESSAGE and EXPLODE your INFLUENCE on a more personal and face to face basis.
Whether facebook or LinkedIn, you can invite people to offline events that will create a more intimate and powerful CONNECTION with them, and you provide even MORE POWERFUL and USEFUL information to the prospect base on the call or webinar. This will POSITION YOU as someone that is worthy of being listened to, and will dramatically increase your perceived expertise in your industry. And You can do the offline event yourself, or do it with multiple guest speakers. You can find events with 4 or 5 people that are the speakers or trainers that bring amazing value to anyone online.
Take It offline to MOVE PEOPLE even closer to you and your message/product.
4) IMPROVE.
This is THE PEOPLE MOVER.
Show people how YOU, YOUR HOME BUSINESS MESSAGE, or YOUR PRODUCTS can IMPROVE, INCREASE, MULTIPLY, or ENLARGE people’s lives and interests, and they will beat a path to your door, and multiply your message all over the internet.
To IMPROVE someone’s business, life, health, knowledge, faith, Success, or income – will dramatically MOVE PEOPLE towards you which will MOVE PRODUCTS for you. (Did you GET THAT?)
Quit just trying to move products in social media. That is how people that mostly fail do it.
MOVE PEOPLE and LOTS OF THEM on the inside and outside through the 4 I’s. This is a powerful social media marketing secret that can help you create results that most only dream of.
No one will see much of anything in their business if they do not have a path or track they can use. This track I have given you will help you in your social media efforts if you use it. You can duplicate this track easily, and it is a step by step process. we have been doing this process for 5 years and has proven to work great. Use this path and see what kind of Success you can obtain in your home business social media efforts.
Discover how social media can explode your home business recruiting success with Social Network Marketing!

Home Business Training- A Billion Dollar Paradigm Shift?
July 29, 2011 by 1 Comment
home business billion dollars
Home business
success requires growth and transformation along the way, no doubt.
Many people today play with their home business.
They refuse to GROW and STRETCH themselves like they should. They need to create a paradigm shift that will take their Thinking, Belief, Expectations, and RESULTS to a level they never thought possible.
If you do that one thing- people will start RESPONDING to you differently. They will be more positive as they will FEEL a level of Success they do not have in their life. You may not be there yet yourself, but you must create that paradigm shift in your mind.
But a BILLION DOLLAR Paradigm Shift?
Yep.
That is what happened to me with the 7 Billion Dollar Networker.He totally shifted my paradigm from thinking MILLIONS to BILLIONS in home business volume.
Think about the change and the level of thinking that would require from someone. A Billion dollars is a LOT of volume and money. So is a Million dollars, but what a shift in thinking that does to you.
When I made the Billion Dollar Shift in the mid 90s it was awesome. I started thinking much bigger and expecting much bigger. And it showed in how people responded to my conversations. “Billion” was not a part of most people’s perspective, and it really STRETCHED people in their home based business.
What about YOU?
What about thinking about doing a BILLION DOLLARS in volume in your home business?
Does it seem POSSIBLE?
Does it feel like it would FORCE YOU TO GROW?
It makes you MAGNETIC.
It would DRAW people towards you, as most do NOT talk billions. And when you tell someone that your goal is to help the company build a Billion Dollar Business….
THAT will get people’s attention in a whole new way. Your home business would take on a whole new level of image and power.
Have YOU thought of moving into the Billion Dollar Zone?
The first time I was introduced to think a Billion Dollars, I laughed. It was so foreign and out of reach. I was struggling to pay bills. But once I got a hold of it and understood that it is just a different and higher level of conversation, it eventually started feeling normal and natural.
And since then, and because I embraced the possibility…I have been blessed to build a Billion Dollar Success story.
Billion Dollar Prospecting is about that ONE THING:
Moving your prospecting success to a level that maybe may feel uncomfortable, but I can tell you- it will transform who you are when you move to that level.
Yeah, you may get the nay sayers and the neg-heads as I call them. But you will start seeing what is REALLY possible in your home business and MLM.
Do YOU have the gumption and the GUTS to take it to a Billion Dollar Level and Zone?
If you do, then you will enroll in the Billion Dollar Prospecting Course.
Do NOT be just the “freebies” takers that are not willing to invest in their home based business. Most people spend more than 37.00 at a dinner that is unhealthy and will not change anything their life.
Folks, we are talking LIFE Transforming here and Business Transforming education.
I encourage you to move to the Billion Dollar Level of Success! That is what Billion Dollar Prospecting will do- take your Lead generation to a whole new level and create a radical prospecting paradigm shift.
But do you have the GUTS to DO JUST THAT?
ENROLL NOW in the Billion Dollar Prospecting Course…
… and QUIT PLAYING WITH YOUR BUSINESS and SUCCESS.
It’s TIME to GET SERIOUS Folks. NOW! If I did not think this would help your business — I would not be talking about it.
If you are in network marketing, start RISING to the Level of a Billion Dollars at least in your mind. That is so critical as it will set you apart from the majority of people in network marketing. YOU are the BEST and deserve the best that life has to offer. RISE to the Billion Dollar Level NOW!
That thinking and belief level alone will start transforming your Success in your MLM Home Business!

Network Marketing- The Words that Turned My Business Around in 30 Seconds?
July 29, 2011 by 1 Comment
mlm billion dollar words
Network Marketing
Home Business Success can be a challenge to say the least.
I used to be the world’s most prolific quitter of this network marketing business.
Or at least was.
I quit on the average about 4 times a month when I was in the fire of things and recruiting like crazy.
Let me clarify….when I was struggling like crazy.
Sound all too familiar?
I often said “This is stupid. I am NO good a this. I can make more money bagging groceries.” And then I would think for a while and then decide to try again.
And I tried.
And I tried.
And I tried.
And I got REAL tired of trying network marketing and nothing happening. My home based business was becoming a Home BOMB Business because I was bombing out big time.
For the life of me, I could not think of why everything I was trying…was not working. Folks, I am talking for THREE LONG YEARS- I was like Moses in the desert.
I tried everything.
All I was getting was a bunch of sand.
Then my mentor, who I call “The 7 Billion Dollar Networker” said something one day that hit me like a ton of bricks. I always had a tremendous amount of respect for his genius in this business. But that one day, my respect for him grew even more because of what he said.
He simply said, “Trying something guarantees weakness. There is no power in trying. I have watched you as you ‘ve tried this business for over 3 years. Quit trying and start DOING what needs to be done and do it powerfully. DOING is 1000 times more likely to Succeed than just trying.”
Wow.
Those words changed my whole career in the Home business profession.
And all it took was 30 seconds for him to turn my business totally around. THAT was a Divine Revelation and a Power Boost for my Home Business Success that is STILL working in my network marketing success.
