MLM Personal Development

Are there questions that you need to ask yourself about your home business?

Do YOU ever think about if you believe enough in your network marketing mlm?

How would opening up your eyes to answers you did not know exist help your network marketing business?

There are 3 questions that I have asked all over the world in seminars, and today I want to ask you these questions.

If you dig deep, and answer these questions TRUTHFULLY, you will find that breakthroughs for your home based business will be numerous and FAST in their happening.

Many questions need to be asked in network marketing as well as personal development. These questions really get to the CORE of what Success in your home business is about. Personal Development is the KEY to Success in network marketing and mlm, and these questions will GROW YOU if you let them.

Here are 3 of the most powerful questions you can ask:

1) “What if I believe in myself more than I ever have before in my life?”

What would happen to my emotions?
What would happen to my business?
What would happen to my activity?
What would happen to my income?
What would happen to my lifestyle?
Believing in yourself is one of the MUST DOs in your home business. People will FEEL and SENSE if you truly believe in what you are doing, as well as if you believe in YOU. If you do NOT believe in YOU, they will know it….and walk away.

2) “What If I DECIDED to Succeed Massively- how would that change me and my prospect?”

 Never underestimate the Power of DECISION.
Decision creates an “Inner Shift” that is felt and makes you more believable, more credible, more authoritative, and more powerful.
A DECISION will send “signals” to the mlm prospect and they will FEEL the decision in your words and actions. They will sense that you are a NO OTHER OPTION Leader.

3) “What if I REFUSED any other option in my company other than MASSIVE Success?”

 RE-FUSED- putting a new fuse in your breaker box!
Re-Fuse to lose!
How would that change your focus?
How would that change your perspective?
Simply, what you REFUSE in your life, disappears.
That includes all the things that are slowing you down and stopping you in your network marketing business. If you REFUSE TO LOSE, your home business prospect will again, FEEL that in all you do and say and be PULLED towards you with that Power of refusal.
Are YOU willing to search your soul and see if these questions can rock your business and life? if you ask these questions truthfully, you will find that your home business will EXPLODE.

MLM Training- The 2 Most Business Exploding Words in Home Business

July 12, 2012 by 1 Comment

mlm network marketing

mlm success home business

2 MLM Power Words for Success Explosion.

Do YOU ever use these 2 words in your recruiting and home business?
Do you use them when you talk to yourself about your mlm business?
What words could be so powerful for your network marketing success?
Most people today are talked out of their dreams for their life.
READ THAT AGAIN!
They listen to the wrong people, the wrong words, and the wrong conversations.
Negative people.
Small thinking people.
Small life people.
Many are talked out of their dreams by well meaning people.
People mean well talking about small lives and small living.
 But we must understand the “Law of Life Knowing:”
That is ALL THEY KNOW. They do not know anything else that is bigger, better, more bold.
They are well deceived people. They are deceived into believing that all there is to life is what is in front of them and nothing else can happen.
Many talk themselves out of their dreams. They simply talk themselves out of going after their dreams because that is what they learned growing up.
Most are focused on a “What isn’t” life.
Not a WHAT IS  life, but a negative “What Isn’t” Life. That type of focus can lead to excuses and unhappiness many times.
YOU have dreams.
We ALL have dreams.
But the difference between the wealthy and not, is that the wealthy WENT AFTER their Dreams. They pursued them and then caught them and built them into their life.
YOU have dreams. They may be buried deep down in your heart, but they are still there.
Your dreams are precious gifts:

To YOU.

To OTHERS.

To Your FUTURE.

To Your CHILDREN.

To GOD.

You must come to the point of an “EARTH SHAKING” Realization.
It MUST Shake you to the VERY CORE!
It MUST shake you out of your Ruts and habits that are limiting you.
It MUST Shake your very CORE BELIEFS!
Even the wind shakes the trees to get the dead leaves off.
YOU must shake your thinking and dreams up to get other people’s negative opinions and words off of you and out of you.
 Do you know anyone that is living a “WHAT Isn’t’ Life?
I do. Way too many. But that is why I am so passionate about helping people discover the greatness within them!  Someone helped me, and now it’s my turn and YOUR turn.
Are you living a “WHAT Isn’t” Life?
Come one lets get REAL. Are YOU living a life based on what IS NOT in your life, versus what COULD BE in your life?
Isn’t it time that you moved up to a WHAT IS life?
Hello.
How would you life change? it would Transform and Revolutionzie your life so quick it would make your head spin.

IMAGINE- Living your DREAMS!

2 of the Most Powerful words in Success and High Achievement as well as launguage itsself are “WHAT IF?”

WHAT IF?

Those words  ignite the imagination.
They open up possibilities.
They enlarge the scope of what can be done.
They start asking questions that shake your beliefs and force you to look beyond.
Start Asking WHAT IF about you, your life, and your dreams. These 2 words are the CORE of any and all Success in network marketing mlm home business.

MLM Training- A Checklist of Network Marketing Tools For Success

July 10, 2012 by 1 Comment

The MLM NETWORK MARKETING TOOLS Checklist.

Do you use business building tools with your home business?

Are you familiar with certain mlm business tools that will help you build a team?

Are the network marketing tools that you SHOULD BE using and are not?

Tools are a part of the culture of our profession. Here are the tools that I believe will help you build your business.

 As a professional, you are going to utilizing tools that will help you build your business. You need to make sure that you understand what they are, and that you have them on hand to
use.

Here is a list that you will need in your NETWORK MARKETING Success Tool
Kit.

 1. Product Catalogue.

If you are a direct seller, or your company provides this, make sure that you have this catalogue available to show the reality of how many products you offer.  More products are on the way and your company should have something to show the product line.

 2. Business cards.

Make sure that you have business cards to give prospects. Go to Vista Print for cards.

3. Daily Planner.

Get yourself a monthly planner-online or offline– and use it. Keep track of your appointments and commitments.

4. Presentation Brochure.

Make sure that you have the Presentation brochure, and learn how it works. You can do a
complete presentation anywhere in five minutes.

5. Voice Mail.

Make sure that you have a VM set up on your phone and a professional message that people hear when they call you.

6. Computer.

Since we are an online driven business, you will need a computer that you can use to send email, do back office business, and many other things.

 7. Audio CDs-The Decision. 

This is a great recruiting CD that you initially hand out to a prospect to show the possibilities with our company.

 8. DVD or Video for Recruiting.

Many people will want to see rather than hear the presentation. A DVD does exactly that as well as the corporate video that you have to use from your company.

 9. Home presentations.

This is a tool that you will use to expose the business to your friends as well as do trainings for your team. These are getting back in vogue today and more and more popular. Even with Social media meetups and mash ups.

 10. Webcasts.

This online tool is used to recruit your prospects with an online presentation. It is part of the four step recruiting process. It is also a tool used for PassionFire’s Live Webinar Events on Monday nights at 10 pm EST.

 11. Compensation Plan CD.

This will simply walk you through an explanation about the compensation plan and how to
present it.

12. Business Meetings and Events.

These are live events that you can have for recruiting or a presentation. It can be a
dinner, luncheon, or even a “coffee meeting.”

13. Conference Calls. 

These are calls that are done on a conference line where numerous people can call in on the same line and participate in the call.

 14. In Home Presentation CD / DVD. 

This is a training on how to do a presentation in home, from start to finish.

Every Success in Network Marketing has been a result of using tools. Network Marketing is no exception. Use the tools daily, and know that they are a part of the volume in your
downline for success in your mlm home business.

MLM Training- The 4 Point Success Tracking System for Exploding Business

July 8, 2012 by 2 Comments
mlm home business tracking

ml network marketing tracking

MLM Tracking of Activity Training.

Where do you keep track of your daily actions in your home based business?

How do you keep abreast of your network marketing work at home business or DO YOU?

Is keeping track even a part of your daily method of operation in your mlm business?

Most people do NOT keep track or even keep score in their business. It is not a priority and thus, not done or engaged.

Here is an interesting fact:

We did a study in our downline in the 90’s, and found that the leaders who kept track daily of their actions and had goals to hit everyday, had something different then those who did not.

INCOME.

The leaders who had a system and used it daily, had 7 TIMES MORE the income then those who did not. They averaged 7.2 times MORE income after 18 months, then those who did not.

Hello.

Need I say more?

Keeping track with a system will ACCELERATE and ELEVATE your home business volume and income. It also will explode your team building efforts as it will duplicate with your people who you bring in as they are taught that from the VERY beginning.

Does THAT get your attention?

it does not matter whether it is activity in social media, mobile recruiting, or more traditional methods- it ROCKS YOUR BUSINESS!

What is a system that I suggest?

There are many out there, but one of my favorites and simplest is “The 4 Point System.”

What is THAT?

The Four Point System of Success

You must have a Tracking System to keep an account of what you do on a daily basis. Your goal is to keep track of the points that you earn everyday in your NETWORK MARKETING business.

Most do  not as I said, but YOU SHOULD.

The Points are focused on NEW BUSINESS and ONLY new business and actions. That is the lifeblood of growing your NETWORK MARKETING business.  Each Point leads to a forward moving action that will move your business forward and create some beginning momentum for your work at home business.

Here is how you keep score.

You earn:

 1 Point – If you find a new lead.

 This is ANY lead that you get- online or offline. This is simply a lew person to talk to about your work at home business and products.

2 Points – If you Reach Out or Call a New Lead. (This can be also a Three-way call with another Reseller.)

 We know that it does NO GOOD if you have leads and do not reach out to them. In social media and mobile recruiting, you still need to get the prospect on the phone or skype at some point to develop a relationship that ENDURES.

3 Points – If you make an appointment with a new lead or they view a video.

 Setting online or offline appointments is CRITICAL as they are the first exposure and can lead to more exposures of your business.

4 Points – If you do a presentation to a new lead online or offline.
(This does include appointments, but 8 Points maximum for each Session).

 This can be a webinar, or a face to face appointment. This is where you tell the story of your company.

Your goal is to do a minimum of 4 points per day, or 20 points each week.

NOTE: Many of the leaders we tracked were doing at least 10-15 points a day and some were doing 60-80 points a week.

So…You may want to STRETCH yourself and do 30 or even 40 points per week.  We have found that as you increase the Points you do each day, your NETWORK MARKETING Paycheck will increase proportionately.

Keep track of your points, and work up to where you are doing a minimum of 15 points a day, and you willfind your business EXPLODING in your mlm network marketing home business!

MLM Training- 3 Cold Hard Realities About Prospects You Know

July 7, 2012 by 5 Comments
mlm prospects network marketing

mlm home business prospects

MLM Realites of Prospects You Know.

Have you ever gotten a negative response from a person you know about your network marketing home business?

How do you respond to your friends that come against your home based business?

What did you do to move your mlm business forward?

There are certain cold hard realties of this home based business profession, and if you understand a few things about the people you know, your life will go a whole lot easier and you will smile more.

Understand the Realities of Getting Started in this Business:

When they first got started, all successful Resellers/Distributors have experienced the same emotions that you are experiencing or will experience- positve or negative.

There are three Realities that you MUST know about starting this business and people you know:

 1) You will find that some people aren’t immediately interested in your NETWORK MARKETING when you first tell them about it, and that’s okay because they will most likely still be interested in your Membership and products, and they’ll probably purchase them from you.

Why aren’t they interested?

Many people are too focused on living their lives the way they currently are, and aren’t open to living a more exciting, growth-oriented, income-expanding life. Many are living paycheck to paycheck, and simply do not believe there is any other way to live.

2) Not everyone is going to be as positive as you are, and some of the people you approach might even be a little negative.

 NOTE: Don’t Take It Personally.

You will run into people that are negative, and some can be VERY negative as that is just who they are and what they do.

That is just the way it is.

In this  great profession they are called “Dream Stealers,” and many times they are the people closest to you – Spouse, relatives, and friends.

DO NOT LET THEM STEAL YOUR DREAMS OF A BETTER and More Rewarding LIFE though NETWORK MARKETING!

Understand that they have not seen what you’ve seen, and don’t know what you know yet, so you shouldn’t necessarily expect them to believe and embrace what you have. Accept that some folks will be negative no matter what you are doing, and if they are not open to the Products, then ask for referrals and move on.

 3) It is an effective numbers game, and if you understand that, you can win BIG in NETWORK MARKETING!

You must talk to people about your NETWORK MARKETING business. Some people will talk to a few, and then their businesses start rolling! Others will have to talk to many more, but still win BIG ultimately!

There is no accepted average of the number of people you need to talk to. It is different for everybody. You are just looking for good customers, and good Resellers. If anyone is negative with you, understand this:

They don’t intend to be hurtful; they simply do not understand what you are doing.

Don’t argue. You will learn later with your company what to say about your mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Training–LEARNING THE BUSINESS BUILDING TOOLS

“It’s the START that STOPS most people!”

Anonymous

Have you ever tried to get a new person off to a fast start in your mlm home husiness?

Did it ever not go so weel/

Have you ever gotten off to a quick start in your home based business and did everything perfect?

I believe that that part of that process is going through the paperwork-online or offline- and  learning the business building tools that are avaialable. That included any online tools as well. You will find more better tools at makersfestival.

How do you get a New Reseller or Leader off to a quick start?

Those new NETWORK MARKETING Resellers that START are the ones who have the chance of becoming STARS!

You MUST Get Started in NETWORK MARKETING. Understand that the people you share your business with WILL MIRROR what you do.

It’s called:

The Rule Of DATP!

 “Duplication Always Takes Place!”

What will they be duplicating?  Will it be a Rapid Pace for Success?  Or will it be a Turtle
Pace for Building?  Either is ok, as each will build your NETWORK MARKETING business.
Whatever you do, odds are, your people will take that as a clue, and do the same thing.

“It is easier to Work this business FAST… than Slow!”

Slow Pace can increase frustration, and procrastination.  Think FAST PACE, to get
your business going.

OK, now you are ready to get your business going!

What is the first thing that has to happen concerning the company tools?

Go over them as well as the paperwork.

 1) The first thing that we need to address is your application.
How does enrollment in NETWORK MARKETING work?  What is the enrollment process from start to completion?  Make sure you understand this process, and are able to teach it simply and thoroughly. If you have any questions, ask your
sponsor or NETWORK MARKETING corporate office.

 2) Next, let’s cover the Order Form, and what decisions need to be made before you or someone you enroll orders.  Understand that wherever you started with your initial investment of Membership or products to get your business started will become a “Silent Standard” for your group. What standard do you want to set?

We recommend that the best place for a new Reseller to start is somewhere between ‘Scared and Nervous.’

That could be $195.00 to one person, could be $495.00+ to another, but either way, it’s got to be an amount that’ll motivate you to get out the door in the morning or at night and share the business and incredible product line.

 3) Go over any other forms and necessary documents (online as well) with your sponsor, and learn how to properly complete them. Make sure you review them ALL! Necessary Forms include your “Contact List” which should include everyone you know well and others you know by association.

 4) Review the company literature, brochures, catalogues, and any marketing tools that are available to you in your Reseller Training System. Become familiar with EACH NETWORK MARKETING brochure and catalogues and its purpose. Then you will know with whom it will be appropriate to share it. Don’t memorize it, but understand its POWER to communicate the NETWORK MARKETING message! You can check ecdel for more about network marketing.

 5) Next, go over any and all CDs, audios, DVDs, conference calls/web casts and other website tools that are available. Learn the NETWORK MARKETING message of each tool, so you’ll be familiar with which ones to use when you retail the product and when you recruit. You need to order adequate supplies of each so you have them in your “Success Tool Kit.” Find out the time and webcast url or conference call number of the next company Recruiting call, and have a guest on it!

Time / Date of
call-webinar__________________________________________

Number
________________________________________________________

 

Getting off to a SCORCHING Start is critical in mlm. This post lets you know how and why as well as some tips for network marketing home business fast start success.

MLM Training – The 7 Secrets of FREEDOM in a Home Business

July 4, 2012 by 2 Comments

home business july 4th

network marketing july 4th

MLM July 4th Feedom training.

What is FREEDOM to you in your network marketing home business?

What does July 4th REALLY mean as far as success in mlm and direct sales?

A professional in our wonderful profession understands that FREEDOM is what we all want. Our forefathers faught and died for it. They literally gave their lives so we could be free today. And your home business is worth giving it all you got like they did is it not?

There are 7 secrets to FREEDOM in MLM and Network marketing, And I want to briefly cover them in celebration of out July 4th holiday.

We are going to take the word FREEDOM and break it down.

“F”  stands for FAITH.

If you do not have faith in what you are doing with your home business, you never will be free. You must have faith in the system your company has provided as well as the training and the vision. Faith must also be in YOU. You must have faith in your God given abilties to CRUSH IT and rock with the good times as well as the not so good.

Have faith that you WILL create financial freedom.

“R” stands for REACH.

Simply, a weak approach and REACH to tbis business is going to yield you weak results. Most of the time, a less then aggressive approach to this business shows a lack of belief in what you are doing and will shorten your reach a lot.

BELIEVE in what you are doing and let the force of belief ignite an agressive mindset to GO OUT AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.

REACH for what you want and what it takes to succeed in business. This will result in much more success then you could ever imagine. I am not talking about being pushy, but REACHING to help people help themselves. Don’t worry about your Reach being too powerful. That is not going to happen. REACH for your Freedom by reaching out to others and helping them obtain their freedom in life.

“E” stands for ENGAGE.

You must ENGAGE this business, not just try it. Trying it is going through the motions. ENGAGING is going through the EMOTIONS to put your business IN MOTION. Get PUMPED and ENGAGE the prospecting, the recruiting, the online social efforts, and all that is required for success.

Engage your HEART in all you do. that will create more FREEDOM in your life then you ever could imagine.

“E” stands for EXCELLENCE.

There is NO true FREEDOM without Excellence in everything you do. Your business must be built on a foundation of FREEDOM as well as as EXCELLENCE is your vision and approach.

Excellence is a lifestyle and a decision. It is a POWER that can transform the ordinary into the EXTRAORDINARY. Focus on Excellence and watch your business SOAR.

“D” stands for DEMAND.

You MUST DEMAND the BEST from YOU.

You have a powerful success force inside of you. Demand from it. PULL from it. DEMAND the Big You to show up. DEMAND the results you want. DEMAND the skill set that is needed and then acquire it. DEMAND from your team the BEST each has to offer. DEMAND that winning be the only focus and the only result. If you demand the best from you, then you will see FEEEDOM coming towards you like a freight trin.

“O” stands for OPEN.

FREEDOM in network marketing is based on you OPENING new conversations, new doors and new possibilties.  Opening your mind to BIGGER results is a beginning to FREEDOM. Opening your eyes to a higher success and more powerful result is a beginning to FREEDOM. Opening up the mind of your team to being number one on the company is the beginning to FREEDOM.

Open up your mind, heart, and eyes to the HUGE Success that lies before you, that leads straight to FREEDOM in life.

“M” stands for MORE.

There is MORE inside of you. Give it.

There is MORE that can come from you. Give it.

There is MORE thinking that you can do. Give it.

There is MORE belief in yourself inside of you. Give it.

There is MORE Success waiting to be unleashed from you. DO IT.

If you take these 7 secrets of FREEDOM and apply them to your business, as our forefathers took to to the battle field, your success and freedom will always be there in your network marketing home business in mlm.

Happy July 4th!!!!

But many people have not set up their account nor maximized their youtube account and what it can do for their business. That is why I wanted to focus on youtube.

2. Add key social media information to your Twitter background. Include url to
social networking profiles, other YouTube channels, blog, website, twitter

business, products, and differentiation and keywords your audience is seeking.

4. Subscribe and/or become friends with other YouTube channels in your home business industry or niche.

5. Subscribe and/or become friends with realted YouTube channels in your
industry or niche.

platforms for our home business.  Make it relevant and give the viewer a reason to do such.

8. Add tags/keywords relevant to your target market audience, content and industry or home business niche.

9. Add to videos opening and closing title slides or captions that include your

10. Create a video that describes how to best engage with you and your home business brand via the different social networks.

11. Create a video describing an upcoming offline, in home, or an event online that the prospect can attend.

12. Record a video of a client providing a testimonial.

13.  Record a video at the next local networking event asking people a
question related to the home business or network marketing industry or niche.

14.  Record a video about a recent blog post you wrote that your audience
liked.

This will help you accelerate your success on youtube with your mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Training- Secrets to Marketing a Powerful Ebook in MLM

June 30, 2012 by 2 Comments
home business ebook

network markting ebook

MLM Ebook Training.

Have you ever written an ebook before for your home business?

I have, and they are fun to do- or can be a pain.

Do you have the skill set to write an ebook for your mlm business?

Are you willing to be coached on how to so that for your network marketing success?

Ebooks havce been around for about 12 years, and are books that are electronic and read on the internet. There are a gazillion ebooks out there. You need to have several workjing for you building your brand.

The rise of Kindle and Nook book readers are a GREAT reason that you should be focused on writing an ebook. It is not that difficult.

I found a great post on Stompernet, one of my favorite sites to read, and wanted to share it with you as I believe that this post is one of the best i have read about doing an ebook.

If you want to write or markete an ebook- here is HOW:

There are several really good reasons to create an ebook for your business, but for the sake of
this article, I’m going to focus on three main reasons.

1.  It Adds Credibility to You Personally

When you have an ebook available on your website, as well as on Amazon and other online
bookstores (you better be thinking big if you’re going to go through the
trouble of writing an ebook, but we’ll talk more about that in Part 2 next
month), congratulations! You have established yourself as an expert in your
field. You’ve also instantly raised your credibility. Put yourself in the shoes
of the customer who is visiting several websites or even just looking at the
meta description in an organic search. They see you listed as “Author of (Make
sure your title has a relevant keyword)”. BAM…instant credibility! You
are the expert. You are the person they will trust.

2  It Adds Another Revenue Stream

It seems that some online business owners have gotten in to the habit of offering ebooks as a bonus or a giveaway. Sure…bonuses are great. But there’s no need to give away the farm and devalue your ebook. If you’ve actually created and written a quality ebook, it has real
value to your customers. They are willing to pay for the information you have,
so set your price point correctly. (I’ll discuss more about setting a proper
price point in part two of the article.)

You can offer the ebook on your website for an added revenue stream. You can also have additional ads and landing pages to bring in more revenue. Moreover, you can offer your
ebook on Amazon and other online bookstores. All of these can bring in additional
revenue with little to no cost to you.

3. You Reach a Niche That’s Inaccessible in Traditional Publishing

I admit it, I still love going to a traditional
bookstore. I love browsing through the rows of books and picking up books and
flipping through the pages and looking at the back cover to get an overview of
the book. While I do a lot of my research online, if I have a topic that I know
I will need a significant amount of information on, I like to make a trip to
the bookstore. I grab an armful of books and head to a squishy chair, or I go
to the coffee shop, and sit down at a table with a cup of tea and start
browsing through the books to find some information that will be helpful.
The other day I really needed a book about a particular subject on which I was going to do quite a bit of writing. However, there were no books on the topic at the bookstore. To me, it was an important subject. I realize that it was a fairly narrow subject. But when I visited an
online bookstore, there were plenty of ebooks available.

Ebooks have opened up the doors of publishing on a broad range of subjects. You can talk to a target audience that a traditional publishing house would not have been willing to invest the time and money to produce a paper book. Ebooks and digital publishing has done for the literary market what digital music has done for the music market. Back in the day you
had to get signed by a major music studio in order to have any hope of getting
your music in hands of consumers. Similarly, you had to get signed by a
traditional publishing house or spend the money to get your book self-published
and printed in order to put your book in the hands of readers. In order to make
it worthwhile, you would need to have a fairly large target audience for the
publishing house to sign you, or to make a return on your printing investment.

With an ebook, there is either little or no cost to publish and print for the writer or
author. A smaller audience can be targeted. It allows a specific target niche
to be reached, which is good for both the author and for the reader. As a
reader, I love the fact that I can find a book or several books on almost any
topic in ebook format.

How to Write an Ebook the Easy Way

Once an online business owner decides that writing an ebook is indeed a good idea, a bit of panic tends to set in. The thought is, “okay, it’s a good idea, but I have NO IDEA how to do this”. Typically the idea gets shelved until they are more comfortable and guess then
that is? Usually never. I’ve found two ways work best for an online business
owner that is ready to take the plunge and write an ebook.

1. Use Resources You Already Have – Articles

Chances are you have a number of articles that you have either written or have had written for you. Articles that have been used for link building, blog content or other SEO purposes. Compile all the articles that possess, and put them in a logical order. These will form the chapters of your book. They may take a little re-working and may need a some
transitional editing, but it has saved a tremendous amount of time and keeps
you from having to start from scratch. Once you have the body coherently bound,
write a strong introduction and a strong closing chapter, and voila!
You have a great ebook that was quick and easy to put together from resources
you already have!

I will say that this quick and easy ebook will probably be priced a little lower than if you
had taken the time to write an ebook from scratch. Although it will depend on
the quality of the articles that you’ve assembled. Just be honest on the worth
when we look at pricing in part two. It’s a great way to get an ebook out the
door, and get one under your belt, as well. You may want to tackle your first
one using this method, and your next one using the following method…

2. Hire a Ghostwriter

Now remember, we’re talking about doing it the easy way. You can write the entire book yourself, but it’s very intimidating for most online business owners – it’s not what they know how to do. A ghostwriter is a great option. You’re still the author, and you can be perfectly clear that the ghostwriter doesn’t get credit.

Where to find a quality ghostwriter – You can find a quality ghostwriter through a number of avenues. Some authors like to find ghostwriters who are close in proximity and
those who they can work well with. You can always find someone through
Craigslist. This is especially a good option if you live in a college town.
English majors in college can be a great value – but be careful because college
students can be a little flaky.

There are online forums and Facebook groups where you can find ghostwriters. There are also professional organizations to find ghostwriters, but these ghostwriters tend to be quite expensive. Although they are usually (but not always) experienced. You can also hop on writer’s forums and ask writers for referrals for ghostwriters they have worked with
that have been reliable and produced good work.

One of the most popular places to find a ghostwriter is on freelance websites such as odesk.com, freelancer.com and elance.com. Everyone seems to have their favorite
freelance website from both a provider’s and a buyer’s perspective.

I will tell you as a freelance writer: I FAR prefer elance.com. I think the rates are much more fair for their providers. Something to think about as a bu yer: I won’t even use odesk.com anymore because I feel the rates are far below what I’m worth. Granted, I only use freelance work as fill in work, but I’m still only willing to go so low!

Tips on working with a freelance ghostwriter – If you decide to work with a freelance ghostwriter, here are a few guidelines to make sure you follow:

Be clear and detailed in your job posting
– You’ll have a better chance of getting a ghostwriter that is capable of meeting your job requirements if you are crystal clear in what you need. Be very clear in what your time
requirements are. There is no use hiring someone only to find out they can’t
get your ebook done in 3 weeks, if that is when you need it done.

Ask for samples – Make sure that their writing style compliments your tone. If you want a conversational tone, but all of their samples are very formal, they’re probably not a good fit.

Don’t be afraid to narrow down and ask for an interview – Remember, you’ll
be working closely with this person and they will be your voice. Narrow it down
to 3 people and ask for a brief conversation on the phone or via Skype. See
which one best suits your tone.

Set clear milestones – Let your ghostwriter know what you expect in the way of
milestones. Be flexible enough to allow for changes, but set clear milestones
in the beginning that you are both shooting for.

It’s as important that you meet your milestones as you expect them to meet theirs – It’s a two-way street here. Make sure you get edits back in a timely fashion so your ghostwriter can do their job.

Start with an outline – Send your ghostwriter an overall outline to start.
Include your overall concept and ideas for the major chapters that you want,
and other ideas that you want to cover in the chapters.

Ongoing communication – Decide together how you will work together for ongoing
communication. Will it be email, phone, text or Skype? Set clear guidelines on
how soon you will return any communication.

Decide on the fill-in with your ghostwriter – This next part really depends on your topic, your knowledge, and the job posting requirements. Have you stated that the ghostwriter will have to do research themselves? Or will you be giving them the information? Here are some of your choices:

  • Have your ghostwriter do
    the research and writing
  • Send your ghostwriter
    the info you have gathered and have them polish it
  • Dictate the information
    to your ghostwriter and have them put it in to a polished format

I have found dictation to be an increasingly effective way for authors to work with their ghostwriters. Most business owners have the knowledge in their head and don’t mind speaking it; they just don’t know how to make sense of it on paper. That is what a good ghostwriter will do well. Let them to do what they’re good at!

Hiring a ghostwriter can be a great way for a business owner to get their ebook written without taking too much time away from their normal day to day business needs.

Be sure and check out my second part in the ebook series when we will take a look at the next steps. Once you have written your ebook, whether from pulling together resources you already have or using a ghostwriter…what now? You’ll need to get it priced right and then get it
marketed.

This is how you get an ebook started with your hime business. Write about what you feel would be relevant to your business. And make sure that you get your ebook to look and feel like a professional book. There is nothing worse then an amateur looking ebook that harms your brand, not elevates it.

These are just some tips that will help you explode your business with an ebook in tyour network marketing mlm home business.

MLM Leadership- The Value of Your Leadership in Network Marketing

June 28, 2012 by 1 Comment

MLM Leadership.

Discover the Value of Your MLM Leadership.

What is Leadership to you in your home business?

How does leadership influence what you do for your mlm business?

Would you like to learn the TRUE Value of your Team Building efforts for your network marketing business?

The Power for Success in any business lies within the Force of your Ability to get people to FOLLOW YOUR IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS, and VISION.

You do this everyday.

You are not even aware of it.

That is why that many people who have never owned their own business before, have the skills and the ability to succeed wildly in a business they work out of their home.

And become millionaires in the process.

Most successful businesses started out of a home.

Hewlett- Packard stated out of a garage.

Microsoft started out of a dorm room, as facebook and Google did as well.

Papa John’s Pizza started out of a broom closet. Mary Kay started in a bedroom. Apple started in a garage. Subway started on a kitchen table.

The list is nearly endless of all the successful companies that started out of a home or a residence.

Nearly all successful companies today that are Fortune 500 companies had humble beginnings and many started out of a one room place.

This actually gave them the focus they needed to move from a small place to a little larger place, to a little bit larger, to eventually a large place.

THAT took Leadership and a lot of it. Many of the founders of these companies today look back at the place they began, and know they LEAD the people to where their Vision was, and nowstand in the place they saw in their mind years ago.

Most of these folks are multi millionaires, and some billionaires. ALL started their company with 3 things:

 

  1. A Picture in their mind of where they were going
    with what they were doing.
  2. A Determined relentless spirit that WOULD NOT BE
    DENIED.
  3. A business vehicle that would help them get
    there that they personally started.

They are NO different then YOU.

They just made a Decision that they were going to build a life and lifestyle that most only DREAM OF- and they did exactly that.

YOU can do the same thing- with YOUR OWN HOME BUSINESS.

Owning your own business gives you many advantages that the average do not have, including tax advantages, income increase advantages, and the hope of a better future that
most could not imagine.

That is why that YOUR LEADERSHIP is a powerful driving force in your life, and with the right business, you can change people’s lives as well as their destiny. You can influence people with you business as well as your Leadership and help them achieve in life what they never thought possible and in turn, you do the same thing.

THAT is leading people in a way that is LIFE CHANGING and Extraordinary.

YOU have that Leadership IN YOU.

You just need a vehicle to UNLEASH the UNLIMITED in your life.

And your own business is THE best way to do that, as it has proven to work for many people- and WILL WORK FOR YOU.

Imagine living the life that you always wanted to….NOW.

Imagine being able to help people that need help….NOW.

Imagine owning your own business and being able to live the lifestyle that you always wanted but could never afford….NOW.

How does THAT sound?

Then you need to ignite your Leadership inside you, and start your own business that will keep pouring Success Kerosene on the fire as you grow. YOUR Leadership awaits your Decision to unleash it.

“Those that Lead see the beauty before anyone else, and experience the BEST before anyone else- as they know that Leadership DRIVES Life and determines the Decisions that ENLARGES Lifestyle.”

NEVER underestimate the power of your Leadership. It impacts many people everyday.

YOU need to let it DRIVE your lifestyle to a level- that you once only Dreamed of, and then help others do the same thing.

You do that….with you own business. Every other business started out that way- and YOU can LIVE a Dream life, if you allow yourself to dream with your Leadership leading the way to a
life….

That most can only IMAGINE.

This Leadership Power will truly revolutionize your mlm home business!
