So, in the previous two blogs we talked about Bounce Rate what it is and how to Analyze it. Today we are going to talk about killing your Bounce Rate, well maybe just reduce it substancially.

Killing your Bounce Rate

From your Bounce Rate Analysis via CrazyEgg, ClickTale, or LiveBall you should at least be able to see where folks are “looking” and clicking and make the necessary changes to your web site. Some things might be a matter of browser. Remember you may have your favorite, but there are others out there, Firefox, IE, Safari, GoogleChrome. It could be a matter of getting a high Bounce Rate because your site does not show up well in the browser most people use to get to your site. Check your website out in those different browsers.

Reduce Bounce Rate by actively engaging your visitor

With that being said, remember is the thing about Bounce Rate is visitors pop on and pop off too fast for you to begin to develop a relationship with. A way to extend that “do I stay or do I Bounce” decision is to have more “aggressive” interaction with those visitors.

For example, in the upper left hand part of this blog section do you see that ball next to “Chat with Hunter Williams”? If it is green, you can chat with me (I dare you ). Here are several ways you can catch your visitor and if nothing else gain a little more insight to why folks are contributing to your Bounce Rate.

Reduce Bounce Rate with the following tools

Google Talk – is a free service. You can place a Google Talk badge on your website that shows if you are on line (the ball turns green). A quick panic reducer here, when you sign up for Google Talk you need to use a Gmail account and when you have signed into that Gmail account and have it active, you show up as available. Sign out of the Gmail account the green ball goes. The link to Google Talk is Here.

This is an interesting way to engage a visitor, remember, they are looking for information, an expert. They were pointed to your “store”, they are looking through the window, not sure if anyone is there, but you put a large button up saying “Press if you need help”. to get direct feedback from web traffic

KISS Insights – triggers a popup window in the footer to get visitor feedback. The creators of KISSmetrics developed this website feedback script that is essentially a popup window in the footer of your website and will allow visitors to tell you what they need. You can also customize your questions. There is a free version available. The link to KISS Insights is here.

Kampyle – this service puts a nicely displayed Feedback “We Listen” Button (or popup) on your website which visitors click and fill out a form. What is neat about the forms is that your visitors are engaged with responses. As the website owner, you are given great analytics and reports of the feedback. There is a free 15 day trial but to use long term the cheapest plan is the $99/month Bronze plan. The link to Kampyle is here.

Ethnio – this service applies javascript code to your website and will engage your visitors and recruit them…to provide feedback about your website. Not join your primary business. (Dang!) The link to Ethnio is here.

Survey Monkey – this is a service to use on existing customers and subscribers to ask for their feedback on your website. There is a free and Pro version available. The link to Survey Monkey is here.

All of these tools should help to engage your visitors, and if nothing else, give them the impression you care about their experience on your web page, (which you do). Now again, this is not an exhaustive list of solutions, but I think you will agree, there a enough actionable items here to get you to taking huge chunks out of your Bounce Rate.

Another fix to your Bounce Rate, is to have a compelling offer that fits with what your MLM or Network Marketing blog are all about. For some of the best free training you can receive and make available to your visitors, click here.

PS. Here is a link to the first Bounce Rate blog Bounce Rate are You Doing Online What You Would Never Do In Person?.
I hope you enjoyed this second blog about Bounce Rate, How to Fix it.

With all the Energy MLM’s popping up and seemingly been in business since the light bulb was invented, it is understandable that when approached to “Just Do Momentis” you are checking it out. Good for you.

What follows is an unbiased, 3rd party Momentis Review of the product and business opportunity. If you will allow me, I will also interject some interesting findings of my other research into the company and the MLM/Network Marketing Industry as well.

Momentis Review – A little Background

Momentis is the marketing arm of Just Energy (located in Dallas, Texas and Toronto, Canada). Just Energy is a North American independent energy supplier with 1.4 million electric and natural gas customers. As a Momentis distributor you can currently offer service in Ontario and Alberta Canada. In the United States, California, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Georgia and Texas are currently opened.

As far as the future as a Momentis distributor, in Canada British Columbia, Quebec, and Manitoba are stated to be opened. In the US, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia are on the drawing board.

Momentis Review – Income Streams

Momentis has several possible income streams.

The first Momentum Immediate Bonus:

This starts a distributor off. Once a distributor has completed an online Certification, they can qualify to earn Momentum Bonuses of $100 by personally enrolling two (2) pending or active customers (2 customer points) in the first 30 days (thus becoming a Qualified Marketing Representative, QMR). This continues for the first 120 days by getting 10 customer points in 60 days, 15 in 90 days and 20 in 120 days.

The Second, the Mentor Bonus:

Every time a distributor sponsors a new QMR, they earn Immediate Mentor Bonuses. This is initially a $100 bonus that increases to $150, $250, $300, and $325 as a distributor raises through the various Leadership Levels. The bonuses are paid weekly.

The third, MyTeam Bonus:

When you promote to Regional Director (that’s where the Mentor bonus is $300 a week) or above, a distributor is eligible for MyTeam Bonuses. The first three (3) Representatives a distributor signs up are designated as the first generation MyTeam. As a distributor on your first, second, and third generations you can receive a MyTeam Bonus each of those generation’s MyTeam’s MyLeadership Bonuses!

The fouth, MyLeadership Bonus:

MyLeadership Bonuses are designed to reward distributors for helping people get started. When a distributor promotes to the Senior Director level or above, they are paid MyLeadership Bonuses for any Qualified Marketing Representative (QMR) that joins the distributor’s organization that is NOT personally sponsored by you.

These MyLeadership Bonuses go down through infinite levels when you meet the promotion requirements and reach the appropriate leadership positions. Momentis has four leadership positions, and each time a distributor promotes to one of these positions, they will earn more and more bonus income. At each leadership position, a distributor can begin to build a new leadership organization, which can then qualify the distributor for new MyLeadership Bonuses.

The fifth, Monthly Recurring Income:

The residual income aspect of Momentis occurs from a distributors Monthly Recurring Income (MRI) efforts. Personal customers who maintain their Just Energy accounts are count toward a distributor’s MRI. So do the customers enrolled by Qualified Marketing Representatives (QMR) in the distributor’s leadership organization, no matter how wide or deep.

MRI is paid in the month following the distributor organization’s customer payments. For example, when customers pay their bills in June, the distributor will receive MRI in July. To receive this income, the distributor must meet both the one-time Leadership promotion qualifications as well as monthly customer point count qualifications.

Momentis Review and You

Momentis and Just Energy are not a scam, far from it. Just Energy is part of a fund that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Momentis MLM compensation plan is based on a basic building block of each QMR bringing in a manageable number of customers and helping other entrepreneurs build their businesses.
As far as how Momentis is doing in the public arena, Npros.com, a MLM/Network Marketing Industry related website has Momentis’s position in their index ranked at 135 out of 680 home businesses that they actively track in their database.

Momentis has a great compensation plan in that it pays you “now” by growing your organization and it also allows you to develop a residual income via a strong customer base.

But as you may have noticed, the big bucks come from the “growing the organization” income streams, and if you are anything like me, that is what has you so excited…and at the same time worried.

The key you know is having a steady stream of ambitious people (like yourself) approach you to see what you are doing. And the key to doing that is learning Attraction Marketing.

If you are throwing up your hands and asking “Now what…?” click on the links below to learn how you can develop your Attraction Marketing skills and get those leads chasing you.

So if you have found this Momentis Review in your Due diligence search, good for you. You are acting like a real business owner. The next thing you need to do, besides getting with the person who shared the plan with you and signing up, is to ask yourself this question:

If you really want to be profitable in Momentis, you’ll need to fully grasp Attraction Marketing and On-line lead generation. Have a look at the online attraction marketing system I use to get 15-29 FREE leads on a daily basis PLUS earn money from individuals who don’t enroll in my primary business.

I hope you enjoyed this Momentis Review.

With all the many things people are trying to do to achieve success in today’s shoddy economy, one of the best is to build a home business. Now, of course, the type of home business you open matters tremendously. Perhaps network marketing is your calling. If you’d like to learn more about it, check out this article.

Some people will refuse your product as you’re pitching it to them and some of them can be outright rude. It is important that you keep your composure at all times. Never sink to their level and be rude with them. If they refuse you with attitude, politely concede your pitch, and move on to another possible customer.

An important tip to consider when it comes to network marketing is to figure out the best ways to attract your target market. This is critical because if you do not know how to reach them and then draw them in then you are fighting a losing battle. Study your target market and find out what makes them tick.

One of the benefits of network marketing is that it’s not a 9-5 job, but you still need to block out time each day to do your network marketing activities. Scheduling your “business time” in advance gets you into the habit of running your business without a boss as well as prevents other commitments from getting in the way.

Funding for your new network marketing career should not come from a loan. Network marketing is a risky field to go into as it’s not entirely based on how hard you work. The market has to be there to “sell” to so you can build your downline and make a profit. Losing your home isn’t worth it!

Listen to your prospective clients carefully. Let them tell you what they want, instead of trying to convince them that they want what you are offering. This way, you can tailor your marketing efforts to their specific needs, and you’re more likely to turn a potential contact into a member of your network.

Do not tolerate unethical business practices from those in your downline. If you discover that someone in your downline is spamming the internet with ads, for example, talk to that person right away and ask them to stop. Unethical people make business worse for everyone in your company, so don’t allow them to do that without doing anything.

Stay in touch with your customers. Ask them to answer to surveys about the quality of the product or service they purchased. Most people do not respond to surveys: be creative to make your surveys more interesting. You could have people win prizes or make your surveys look like games.

Free Leads

An important tip to consider when it comes to network marketing is that you should never pay for leads. You can easily obtain free leads yourself with a little investment of your own time.

Sponsoring

Sponsoring a charity can help you get the word out about your business. Often, sponsorships come in various levels based on how much you donate, so you can be flexible about how much you have to give. This will get your name out to hundreds or thousands of people locally who may be interested in what you’re doing.

In order to succeed at network marketing you need to focus on income producing activities and make sure that you spend your work time wisely. When working on your computer, do not waste all of your time logged onto Facebook or checking emails. Spend the majority of your online work time marketing, sponsoring people and selling your company’s products.

People are willing to do some crazy things for money when jobs are scarce, but that doesn’t mean you should leap into any opportunity without being fully aware of what the task entails. Make sure you focus on and apply these network marketing tips above if you want to be successful as a marketer.

To your Success,

The Blog/Article Marketing approach in our How To MLM process can push your resolve to put together and publish a Blog/Article everyday. We all know how busy and hectic your day can get with work, things to do at home, prospecting, phone calls, webinars, and oh yeah your blog entry.

How To MLM – Blogging to Page Ranking

This methodology is not the overnight sensation, flash-in-the-pan approach to getting and sustaining reliable, ever growing traffic to your website. And as you are learning it takes self-discipline, resolve, and a pretty good imagination to keep coming up with ideas.

To be honest the Article spinning thing can be almost as cumbersome as writing an original article so whipping out The Best Spinner software and microwaving a blog or article in 10 minutes is a bit of a stretch.

How to MLM – Legal Shortcut

You may not be aware of it but you can copy someone else’s article…provided you follow the rules. Just for your edification. The following was copied (names were changed to protect the innocent) from an Article website, you will have to review the Publisher Terms of Service for the website you are leveraging:

1. You must not remove “Article Source: http://www.websitename.com” from each article you choose to publish.
2. You must respect the copyright of each author whose articles you wish to publish. This includes but is not limited to 1. resource box, 2. any links provided by the author.
3. You must not change, edit, or reword any part of any article not written by you.
4. You must agree to keep hyperlinks “live” so that users can click on said link and be taken to it’s destination.

So there you have it. A plan B to keep the mojo flowing.

How To MLM – How to Create Synergy

The important part to remember is you must give proper props the to article you are “re-articling”. So what that means is you have to keep their links in the article/blog and you can’t pass the content off as yours. So a great way to bridge the gap between someone else’s article and your blog/article is a bit of honesty. Something like…

I was doing some online investigating about such and such and I came across this article that really made a lot of sense and I thought I just had to share it. I also looked at some of their other articles and you should do your self a favor and check out some of their other posts. Here is what I really wanted to pass on..

The unadulterated article.

Now you have a win-win. You get a little breather from the blog/article creation process, you get some good content and the original author gets more exposure.

To your Success,

You are thinking you need to be in a homebased business, but you can’t determine what would be the best one to be in. You are quite aware of the turmoil the world economic system is in and in the United States, elections are coming up so the spinning is never ending.

Homebased Business Owners need to know what is Next

What is going to happen next? Markets going up, down? What is the next hot product? What will sell in these “troubled” times? Before we take a look at what will happen next, lets take a look at what is happening in the world now and its affect on a particular product.

From “The Street”: NEW YORK (TheStreet ) — Gold prices skyrocketed Tuesday to a record close as weak second quarter growth numbers out of Germany and indecisive action from EU leaders spooked investors into the safe haven.

Gold for December delivery soared $27 to close at $1,785 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price has traded as high as $1,789.80 and as low as $1,763.60 while the spot gold price was adding a more modest $14.20, according to Kitco’s gold index.

Silver prices settled up 51 cents at $39.81 an ounce while the U.S. dollar index was adding 0.05% at $73.91.

Seems to me that a sharp Homebased Business person might like to have a basement full of Gold and Silver. That is if you asked me. I mean isn’t that what you want as a business person? A product that can sell, that demand is increasing, a product that has a stable supply, and because of that, the price you can charge increases?

A Homebased Business in Gold and Silver

Back to the basement, you know, the one we just filled with gold and silver. As far as a business goes, pulling your wallet out and paying the driver of the dump truck that unloaded the gold and silver into your basement with a little something out of petty cash may be a little far fetched. But what if you had a homebased business that gave you a virtual basement full of gold and silver. And then did you one better, gave you access to numismatic coins that can increase in value faster than the value of the base metal, as well as provide protection from the “Gold Confiscation” folks your stockbroker always used to kill any ideas you had of buying anything but stocks (from him).

Homebased Business with a Five Year Money-back Guarantee

So we have this virtual basement full of numismatic gold and silver coins, next question, what could make it better? How about having a Five year guarantee on the value of the item you sell to your trusting customers? Gold and silver go up or go down, or stay sideways, in five years your customer can get back what they paid for the product they bought from you. Have you ever been in a homebased business that had that kind of offer? Have you even heard of one?

Owning a Homebased Business, what does the future hold?

As a homebased business, the last thing you want to be doing is buying a real cheap buggy factory right after a guy named Henry Ford invents a horseless carriage. Here is what a gentleman named Jim Sinclair has posted on his website at jsmineset.com. (Having traded commodites in my storied past, I have been following Jim’s insights on Gold since about 2000, when gold was trading at about $400. By the way, he predicted the current prices and more way back then.)

My Dear Extended Family,

We have to admit $1764 is a significant level for gold. Above that level and the $1800 plus recent high comes into focus. Above that level the hyperbolic potential of the gold price comes into focus.

Some of the finest minds in gold anticipate a very short but brutal reaction in price. The dollar market seems to not agree with a gold correction here.

Market wise, the Fed has thrown the US dollar into the wind. Under .7400 the dollar denies a reaction in gold at these levels.

When gold broke out above $524.90 I asked you to please cease trading as gold had moved from phase 1 into a runaway price phase 2. It is this phase that has given you prices in excess of $1650. $1764 has the same significance as $524.90 because it represents phase 3, the point when a runaway price market for gold would gain exponential properties. Because $1764 is such a significant number, you can expect one of the more serious price battles before the price departs to Alf Fields’ and Armstrong’s predictions.

To sum up the situation, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Regards,
Jim

Those are some pretty interesting words. They are also rather exciting if you own a homebased business involved in the gold and silver markets.

Do you?

Why Not?

To Your Success,

Hunter D Williams

To quickly recount Part 1 and 2 of this recent How to MLM series, it is basically:
1. Put the time in to know what you are doing, and
2. Put the time in to know what you have to do.

How to MLM – Never Quit

The third part is the most important not knowing it has killed more dreams (and probably marriages) than you can imagine. Do you know not to quit?

I did and it is killing me.

When I first got infected with the MLM disease (in some cases it is, can you image the audacity of thinking you don’t have to spend 40 years doing something you don’t like only to end up broke, wait a second, you think the same thing too) it was 1983/84. I was recently out of college, and the lie I had been told was beginning to dawn on me. I had actually bought a car leasing franchise a day or two before my great friend Harold “Butch” Frey had the brass ones to invite me to an opportunity meeting.

In fact, my initial excuse not to do the MLM thing (network marketing as a term was still in its infancy, in fact that was the great switcheroo, Is this multi-level marketing? No, it’s Network Marketing. Oh okay…) was I had just bought a business. But over a little time that residual income and I’ll help you build your business promise made a heck of a lot more sense. So in I jumped.

How to MLM – Where’s the Beef?

If I had a dime for every “Where’s the Beef” tape I bought and passed out, the hotel meetings, the product pickups, the How to MLM mini-meetings, the Free Enterprise Weekends, I’d have a decent amount of money. And it was at one of those weekends that the Diamond on stage pleaded about “If you can’t build it fast, build it slow. But what ever you do, Don’t Quit.”

I do not want to cast any dispersions my first MLM was Amway. It was, is, and will probably continue to be a fantastic opportunity. And with Amway it was the old me-you-6-4-2. But with Amway as with most any Network Marketing company, the emphasis is on fast and furious.

How to MLM – Fast and Furious, the why

The reason for fast and furious is it makes more efficient use of your time. When you are doing a business fast, it builds momentum, and gets a synergy going that starts to self-propagate itself. If you are building it fast, the 20 folks you talked to this week will more likely get in and (here is a key) the folks you signed up prior to this week will more likely stay because they can “see” the growth.

How to MLM – Fast and Furious, the pitfall

Because of this appearance of “easy” money (Honey, EVERYBODY is getting in!) folks will some times see and expect the MLM business to meet their short term cash needs. Now, I am not going to say that is not possible. We have all heard stories about 30, 60, and 90 day wonders. And with the internet we’ve even heard of 6 hour and 1 day wonders as far as recruiting and money making.

But as we have all come to realize, these are usually the exceptions, and if they did happen there was a massive amount of effort that most folks don’t realize was invested. So when it doesn’t happen for them, it is the highway or the next great opportunity.

How to MLM – The key, Never Quit

That Diamond I was talking about, knowing the effort it took “back in the day”, because back then it was a 3 to 5 year plan, and you had to work it hard because there just were not the communication tools available that we have now. Added to his statement, and at the time I dismissed it. I can claim youth, and a pigheadedness that I was going to build it fast.

(A quick aside, a Diamond back then earned about $100,000 a year, and it meant he/she had helped 6 people “Go Direct”. Perhaps think of it this way a Direct was worth about $15,000 a year, give or take residual and leadership bonus).

How to MLM – The results of Never Quitting

Please understand the power of the next words he spoke. “But if you can’t do the 6 in 3 to 5, just do 1 every year. Just help one person reach the Direct level every year. You won’t believe how even that will change your life.” What a loser huh?

That was probably about 1985 when I listened but did not hear those words. Heck, the year 2000 was still about 100 years away, more or less if you know what I mean. That was 26 years ago.

Understand I am not saying this next part with sour grapes or as crying into my beer (okay maybe a little), but 26 Directs at $15,000/year residual comes to $390,000 per year, residual.

Please, I beg you, if you are young, just getting started, or what ever, hear/see the power of this MLM/Network Marketing business. Take your lumps, your awkward encounters, your “horrible” presentations, bundle them up with flowers, FedEx them, plant them in a hole in your back yard.

But don’t ever quit this business.

To your Success,

In continuing to learn how to MLM, You need to understand this business is hard work to begin with, it gets exponentially harder when you are subconsciously sabotaging yourself. No way, you say. I would agree with you, IF, you know this second thing. And what I mean my know is right now, sign me up in your business, and tell me what my next three steps are. Now, no batting an eye, no stammering.

How to MLM – Confronting your Self-defeating Tendencies

Have you ever thought about this? That one of the reasons you don’t follow-up with a lead on the phone or email, don’t stick your hand out to some sharp desperate person (Hint, right now everyone in your office, in the store, on the bus, train is desperate) has got nothing to do with “phone skills”, or “personal self worth”, or having memorized any scripts or cute things to say?

It has to do with the fact, that right now, above all that, the most terrifying thing that could happen to you is have someone knock on your front door, and say “Man you are hard to find, I used a reverse algorithm on the email your auto-responder sent, cross referenced it with a random search on Google and found your address…SIGN ME UP BABY! LET’S DO THIS THING!…what should I do next?”. Show me how to MLM.

How To MLM – Know the Next Steps

It seems pretty insidious doesn’t it? But honestly, do you know what to do to get someone signed up in your business? How and where to send them for training? Where the next meet-up is? What their next steps should be if they want to do the internet thing or do the belly-to-belly thing? Do you have it written down someplace?

Let me ask you a question, as a new person in YOUR organization, am I out of line expecting any, some, or all of those questions to be answered?

How to MLM – The Next Steps

If you do not know or have the Sign-up process readily available check with your upline first. What I do is this:

1. Congratulate the person for taking responsibility for there future, for believing in their dream. Give them your phone number.

2. Get a paper form with pen in front of them or them in front of a computer and get to your company’s sign up page. From the dazzle ‘em with your awesomeness aspect, you may want to have a directory on your blog or website that has all the steps and websites listed and hyperlinked. For example: www.myblog.com/mymlmsignuppage or something.

3. Once the credit card confirmation is approved, kick them out. No, wait… I’m kidding. Establish your relationship. For example, “John, I’m excited to be working with you, and I want what is best for you. We can approach our relationship in one of two ways. I can be your friend or I can be your business coach and help you build your business fast. Which one would you prefer? (Just a note, you are trying to lead them to the coach/mentoree relationship). When they say Coach, say great. (To be blunt, then start telling them what to do.) Okay, go to this website, or okay get your cell phone out and starting at the top, go through your contacts and list everyone you would no mind going on vacation with.

4. Be ready with websites for training, presentations, addresses for group meetings, your companies main website where they can go to get literature and “stuff” like that.

5. Discuss time commitments and goals. The specifics of these can be the subject of a whole nother blog. The point here being, find out what they want, help them establish an idea of the time required, assign tasks like attend any required training by such and such. Find out what and where they would most like your help.

How to MLM – Conclusion

There it is done. You now know what to do if someone actually says YES! to your opportunity. You have thought it through, created a plan and/or a template that can be used to duplicate.

Most of all, you have filled a gap in your knowledge base and comfort zone that may have been keeping you from whole heartedly building your business.

To your Success,

MLM training may be the one thing you will probably never find it difficult to get in your network marketing business. However, with that being said, getting MLM training, and going through training that works well are two completely different things.

Time Value of MLM Training

It is important to realize the “time value” of the MLM training available. Thomas Edison and even some of the recent “millionaire” internet marketing gurus created their fortunes in times much, much different than what we currently have. The things I learned and practiced when I first got into MLM (tapes, am I dating myself or what?) just will not work in today’s market place.

The trouble with that statement is the fact that it’s not completely accurate. As an example – try duplicating what J.P. Morgan did to create wealth. Getting yourself into business this year differs from getting into business was in the early 20th century – and the same thing relates to your MLM business.

To continue this discussion, today is quite different than yesterday, in terms of rules, regulations, and the advent of Social Networking just to name a few things. So to help you with your MLM business I’d like to share 5 different ideas about getting the right MLM training.

MLM Training Secret 1

1. This first idea is the most important. DO NOT QUIT! It may be hard, it may beckoning to you like a siren, no more phone calls, or putting up with folks who are intent on pulling you into the dark rut they live in. Incorporating the correct training ideas, methods, and systems will (and have) bring so much prosperity. Fight the good fight.

MLM Training Secret 2

2. Understand the way to success 30 to 40 years ago was to bring in 30 to 40 front line distributors. That was the foundation for a Network Marketing empire. Today, the most important skill is to learn how to sponsor large numbers of people. It is the most efficient way, it works with the need within the industry to have larger numbers to get your needed and desired leverage. The downside there is needing more people, the upside, it is easier to sponsor today. With the proper skills and application of those skills you can pull 30 to 40 people per month using the internet. Those numbers just were not possible in the “old days”.

MLM Training Secret 3

3. Yesterday’s methods of mall walking, drop cards, cold calling were very time intensive (although they can still have a place in your marketing today) when compared to the capability of reaching thousands of per week, even per day, that are actively pursuing the exact business or product you are marketing. As such, you need to focus your training on teachings that emphasize those methodologies and skills.

MLM Training Secret 4

4. The impact of social networking has yet to be fully understood, but suffice it to say the impact is huge. Just like email marketing was the first millionaire maker on the internet, followed by PPC, and Google, etc. Social media is the next thing. It is essential to unlock the secrets of lead creation using social media. Some of the organizations that have been built through social networking and the relative shortness of time needed are staggering.

MLM Training Secret 5

5. I debated where to put this idea, but this last one is not the least and it comes with an asterisk. Find a mentor. The caveat is, the mentor must be getting results in today’s market place. As I have been trying to stress here, your efforts will be so much more productive if you are following some one who is using techniques that are working in 2011 and not working with someone who knew Edison (metaphorically speaking).

To your Success,
