Network Marketing - The Secret To Selecting A Product That Really Sells!

In the network marketing world today, there is virtually every type of product imaginable. Whether you want environmental, organic, health, info or e -books, the list is endless. Whatever your passion is, whatever your personality type is, you most certainly have whole lot to choose from.

And this is a good thing.

But the truth is, that no matter how great the product may be or no matter how new or great the company is, etc, etc, ..... People do not like to sold anything. You don't and neither do I.

People like to choose to purchase something, they like to select for themselves, and they love it when they can try out something for free.

This is one important truth, which when used effectively, will actually make it easier for the ones doing the actual promoting of their product. After all it's much easier to give something then to Sell something.

And if the product fills a certain niche, or perhaps fills a currently popular need, that only makes it easier. The product should be able to sell itself!

So here are is a checklist of things to keep in mind when looking into network marketing products:

The Product You Choose:

1.As mentioned above, this should be a product that fills a particular niche and it's even better when that market is growing such as dietary or medical for the health industry or a new and unusual product for effective marketing in saturated or highly competitive industries. Think women & baby boomer here.

The Quality

2. Now this actually still falls into the category above, but there are a few things to be considered here, for instance, do you have a passion for this product because of it's high quality? If you do, it will really come across to your target audience. Does it come with a guaranteed, money back policy, if not you should be wondering why.

The Price:

3.Check out the current pricing first and foremost if your product is a common one. It has to have that competitive edge so it should be competitively priced as well.

The Lead/Sales Generators:

4. Does the product have a sample? Free samples are your advertising tool. They generate good-will, and that leads to potential customers, Note: This should be relatively inexpensive to keep your costs at bay. In the case of certain products where a sample isn't really an option, a Flyer or pamplet should be available, It should fully explain all about the product in colorful detail, convincing the customer why he or she needs this product or simply, why the potential customer would love the product.

When all the above needs have been met, and you have chosen what you have a real desire to sell, then you will find yourself not really selling at all! Because now, You will simply be offering and talking about something you love! And that takes the selling out of selling completely!

Discover 4 Ways to Improve Your Search Engine Marketing

The best ways to advertise online if through search engines. They are used by millions of people every day, giving you maximum exposure. This is why they are so valuable to marketers. When you use Search Engine Marketing (SEM) your ranking in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) will increase dramatically. If you want to maximize your profits, try these tips;

PPC Ads- PPC is the easiest way to get traffic to your website instantly. The only problem is you need money to invest in this method. You bid on keywords that are relevant to your product or service. They appear in the SERPs and you pay every time someone clicks on your ad. You can't just bid on any keyword though. You'll want to make sure that you target the right market so that your visitors convert to customers. Google Adwords is by far the most popular PPC advertiser which also makes it the most expensive.

Paid Inclusion- Paid inclusion is when you pay the search engines for them to display you higher in the SERPS which gives you more exposure. You'll want to make sure again that you are paying for keywords that will convert.

SEO- To improve the quality and quantity of your traffic you need to do well in the search engines. Most search engines assign a page rank(PR) which tells them the quality of your content and thus where to place you in the results. Inserting relevant keywords into your website's content as much as possible without compromising the integrity of the site will increase your pagerank. I recommend going to the advertiser's website to find out how they assign PR so that you know what to improve.

Link building- Link building will increase your PR but you need to be careful when you do this. Some link building sites will actually damage your PR. You need to get quality links from websites that are well established and have a good PR themselves. Good links to your site tell the search engines that there is valuable information on your site and will rank you better for it.

Big Ideas For Building a Big Network Marketing Business

Many people go into a new business venture with dollar signs in their eyes. They dream of turning their new career in to one that provides them with a million dollar a year profit. As most of us know, this dream is rarely a reality. Often you hear advertisements that guarantee to help you turn your company into that million dollar making business if you purchase their book or video. In actuality, all that happens is that you spend twenty-five dollars on a new decoration for your coffee table. Having an unrealistic expectation of what you will accomplish with your network marketing company can lead to added stress and strain on your part. It is important to realize that to reach any kind of profit, it will take plenty of dedication and time to making it a better company. You will not receive a fortune without putting forth a considerable amount of effort.

Companies that empower a multi-level marketing strategy are slowly increasing in popularity. For these types of companies to work appropriately, there have to be the same number of employees selling the merchandise as there are bosses over seeing the production. If you have too many people in charge, you will find that there are not enough people selling the product to turn over a high enough profit for anyone to have a sustainable income. Likewise if there are too many employees and not enough higher ups, they could be a problem with having to divide the profits between too many people and again no one will be able to make a sustainable enough amount to make a living.

Choosing the appropriate style of network marketing for you can help you to reach a little closer to your million dollar mark than other companies might. It may be beneficial for you to be involved in several multi-level networks at the same time. One network may not be able to help you reach the necessary income that you are in need of, where as two or more together will increase your profitability of a livable income.

If you decide not to venture into your own business, but choose rather to join a direct marketing company or MLM that make sure you choose one with a good name and good solid business leaders. If the company sounds too good to be true, then it usually is. Try to find a company that has been in business for several years, as the probability of going bankrupt is considerably lower after a three to five year period. Be weary of companies that sell you on the idea that you are not required to sell their products, only add other recruits to the business. Keep the types of profits that you will make in perspective. The only real way to make more money is to dedicate yourself to marketing the business and not waiting for others to hand the money to you. You will want to join a company that is honest is run by good smart business people and that has room for growth. When choosing an upline sponsor shop more closely. A good marketing leader will make you allot of money down the road.

Online Marketing - The 6 Proven Steps To Getting Traffic To Your Website Using Internet Marketing

All around the internet marketing world, more and more people need help trying to create traffic to their website. Getting traffic to your website can be hard work, trying to find different online tactics, then spending tons of money on those tactics, just only to see your web traffic increase by 1. Don't worry. I have the solution right here. These 6 proven steps will get you the traffic you want and the best part about it, is that it's all free!

So let's get started shall we? DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

THE 6 PROVEN STEPS TO GETTING TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE!

1. Article market your website, product, service, company, whatever. ARTICLE MARKET IT AT EZINEARTICLES.COM! Google loves ezinearticles.com so you can get more publicity this way. When I created my article, by the third day that ezinearticles gave the okay to post my article, that article was already on the first page of google with my keyword. So this is a great way to get tons of traffic to your website. Make articles upon articles about your website, and before you know it, your web traffic will increase by a vast amount. I promise.

2. Create a squidoo account account about your product, service, company, etc. Google loves squidoo, so I suggest that you start making at least 2 lens' about whatever your trying to get traffic for, for every 5 articles that you submit to ezinearticles.com. Squidoo is another great way to get publicity to get a lot of traffic to your website.

3. Linking to your squidoo from your articles is a great way to publicize your squidoo account. The more you link to your squidoo, the more your squidoo account's page ranking will increase. Thus creating a more web traffic to your website. Also, if your selling an affiliate product, I suggest that you make a squidoo account about that affiliate product and use that as your landing page, that way your audience will trust you more and you can create more of a public relationship.

4. Digging your squidoo account is vital. This will even give you more publicity because when you digg your squidoo lens, digg.com automatically creates a digg account for that squidoo lens and puts it into google's database. So now you have 3 publicized ways for people to get in contact with whatever your trying to get traffic to. Did I mention that google loves it when people digg your squidoo lens? That means, A HIGHER PAGE RANKING FOR YOU!

5. Social bookmarking your website, and squidoo account. Social bookmarking is a great way to get backlinks from websites with public relationships of 4-5 or more. Since it takes forever to go to each major social bookmarking website, I suggest that you use onlywire.com as your one stop social bookmarking website. But you have to be signed up with the different social bookmarking websites that onlywire.com is using in order for this to work. Don't worry it's free to sign up for those websites and it's free to sign up with onlywire.com, but make sure not to use it too fast, if they catch that your submitting information that's the same, they'll delete your social bookmarking account. You don't want that. So play it safe, only upload maybe 3 websites or squidoo lens' every hour with 15-20 minute breaks in between each submission. This is another way to get google to increase your page ranking.

6. Craigslisting your website and squidoo lens will get you great publicity with google. Cragslist.org is a free advertisement website, and google loves it when you use craigslist advertising. It's free to sign up, so don't be scared. When you use craigslist.org, it automatically creates an account for you and sends it into google's database. So now you have another source where people can get access to your website.

So to wrap this up, if you are to use these tactics, you would create more than 4 different sources where people can get access to your website, or product, thus creating more web traffic. I am positive that if you use these tactics and other internet marketing techniques, your web traffic will skyrocket!

SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

Make Money Online and Work From Home - Try Email Marketing

Email marketing is an excellent way to make money online and work from home. It is great because you do not need your own website, or even your own product, to make money using email marketing. You just need a list of people to contact

You may never totally stop building your list, but your list does not have to be large in size to make money e-mailing to it. Let's take a look at four ways you can use e-mail marketing to make money online and work from the comfort of your own home.

1. Sell e-books, reports, or articles on your list. How to information is great if it solves a person's problems. So to make money this way you need quality information that delivers to the reader. ClickBank is one place to find ebooks. You can always create your own reports and ebooks out of private label right products too!.

2. Sell advertising. If you publish an online newsletter you can sell advertising it to your other subscribers or to people willing to pay to place their ad in your newsletter. Many e-mail newsletter publishers will sell solo advertising to their list.

They will also include classified ads in their newsletter and charge according to the placement of the ad itself. A top sponsor ad could command a higher price than say a classified ad placed in the middle of the newsletter.

3. Sell products.This is where affiliate marketing is so valuable. When you find a product you like, you can offer it to your list, and make money when some of them purchase at. For every sale you make you get paid a commission. You do not have to come up with a product idea, develop a way to charge for it, or do any shipping, when you are an affiliate marketer.

4. Sell subscriptions. If you find a membership-based product that can relate back to the niche of your mailing list, you can offer that in an ongoing residual income for making one sale. The nice thing about selling subscription or membership-based products, is that people stay subscribed to those allowing you to build a huge walk away income over a period of time.

This is four ideas on ways you can make money with email marketing. How you choose to do it is a personal choice! It all starts with building a list of your own, but the income can be excellent if you are willing to work at email marketing.

How To Speed Up Your Marketing Business

Have you ever joined a network marketing business that promised you a lot of help to get started, but never really delivered on their promise?

Here are words of comfort, you are not alone! This happened to me, as well as, millions of others who have joined one or more MLM or network marketing businesses.

The result of this is that only 2- 3% of the people who join any kind of internet marketing business are successful. This of course means that 97- 98% are unsuccessful, and end-up losing money instead of making the money they were promised.

There are several reasons why this is happening, and here are the three main ones.

1) People who join are new in the network marketing business, and cannot do it on their own. 2) Their upline or sponsor is unable or unwilling to help them. 3) The company they joined is not a good company with a compensation plan that can help them make a profit.

If you have found yourself under these 3 categories, you were doomed from the start, and there was no way you could succeed at all. It was not your fault.

If you have found yourself under the second category, there was very little chance you could succeed, unless you would be able to find help somewhere else.

That is what happened to me, I found myself in a network marketing opportunity with not much help, so, I had to get help somewhere else. It did not happen over night, however, because I was new in the network marketing business. I found the right help after months of searching.

Unbeknownst to me though, because of all that, I found my true calling which is helping people myself where they need to be helped. However, you do not have to go through the ups and downs I went through before you get where you want to be. You can use the experience of others to avoid the long painstaking road they might have had to take to be where they are now.

How do you find these people? By searching throughout the internet, using key words relating to what kind of help you are looking for. How do you recognize if they genuinely could help you? By the way they really want to help instead of just selling you something, and by the amount of time they are willing to give you for free.

If you are not successful in your network marketing endeavor, the questions you need to ask yourself is: Why am I not successful? And, what can I do about it?

When you find the answers to these questions, you need to take action and find the right help for you. Help might be closer than you think.

Make Money Online - 3 Quick Ways to Increase Traffic

The main issue when trying to make money online is acquiring traffic or visitors to your website. You can make money online easily with ad sense or affiliate marketing if you master the art of generating traffic. A few fast and proven ways to increase traffic are pay per click, article marketing, and blogging. I will be listing some tips and tricks on how to do each of these traffic generating techniques effectively.

Pay Per Click (PPC) allows you to easily test your market and is used to drive targeted traffic to your website. This makes it a very valuable tool. Since Google is larger and more efficient than Yahoo I suggest starting out with it. Other search engines are really not worth your time or effort. They just don't produce enough traffic.

You should bid on a large number of keywords, but not necessarily the most popular ones. The most popular keywords will be the most expensive because there is a lot of competition for them. Don't get into a bidding war for the top position for a keyword. Being in the top 4 positions will bring you plenty of traffic. A lot of the time the first ad is clicked on by habit rather than interest, which means you will loose money. If your ad is further down, it's more likely that the person is reading through the search results and interested in your ad.

Keep your ads simple and read through the Google AdWords tips sections. This really helps out when your trying to write your ad. Remember it should be an attempt to get the reader to visit your website, not buy your product.

Google determines your spot in the search results, not only by how much you pay per click, but your click through rate (CTR) as well. Therefore, if you try to improve your CTR, you can get yourself higher up in the search results. Improving your CTR will make a big difference in the amount of traffic you generate and how much you pay for that traffic.

The final and most important part of PPC is turning your visitors into customers. You need to have an effective website and focus on what will push the visitor to buy the product. I always try to put myself in their shoes, what would convince me?

Article Marketing is free but requires a lot of time and effort. It directs targeted traffic to your website in two ways. The first way is by convincing the reader to click on your direct link to your website. The second way it generates traffic is by increasing your rankings in the search engines.

You should have an original, relevant article title. The title is really one of the most important parts of your article, because it pulls the reader in. It should be original so that you can track the progress of your article. To check this, search it in quotation marks in Google. If you don't come up with anything, great! If you do, find yourself a new title. This will allow you to check the progress of your article by later searching it in quotation marks and viewing how many results you come up with. Submit your article to many different article directories.

In addition, you should write about something that you are fairly knowledgeable about. If you are not you should do some research and reading of your own to set yourself apart from the average reader. Do not write too technical or lengthy and keep your article organized. Your article should be between 350-750 words. You want to appeal to the average reader. Make sure to include your website's link at the end of the article.

The results from article marketing are not long-term. You should constantly write and submit new articles. The only cost is your time. I try to write any chance I get. It's like anything else, practice makes perfect. Also, the more articles you have, the more traffic you get, the more money you make. One last tip: I am one of many people who sit down to start writing and my mind just goes blank. In order to get my creative juices flowing I usually read some articles on the topic I am writing about.

Blogging is very similar to article marketing. It is also free and it helps increase your search engine rankings. Your blog should include good content and a link back to your main website. There are many different free blogging platforms, so you can maintain the same blog content and post it on different websites. For your blog to do well you will need to update it regularly, or it will drop in the search engine rankings. So before you decide on a topic for your blog, make sure you have a lot of information that you can add daily.

Article Marketing - What Will it Give You?

If you take a trip through the many Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) forums on the internet, you'll see countless people discussing article marketing, all trying to figure out whether it's a good or a bad thing to do and whether it's worth the effort.

To be able to figure out whether article marketing is right for you, you first need to understand what you will get from it. Article marketing, properly executed, will bring you three things: traffic, backlinks and a reputation.

Many webmasters make the mistake of believing that submitting articles to ezine websites or article directories for reprint will result in instant traffic. This is not true. Article marketing can take time to have a sustainable impact on your traffic. This is because the traffic will not come predominantly from the article directory site that you submitted the article to. It's far more likely that the traffic will come from the many other websites that have picked up your article either via syndication, RSS or simply through reprinting it with your author links. This takes time.

Given that your levels of traffic and the number of backlinks out there to your site are inextricably linked, the real benefit of article marketing is not in the direct traffic it generates but in the backlinks created to your website via the author links. Although you can't really control the quality of sites that reprint your article in this way, there is still no substitute for quantity. You can then work separately on ensuring a decent number of high quality links are also established. This boost in the number of general backlinks to your site will reflect well in the search engine result pages (SERPs), possibly moving you higher up the results and improving your pagerank in the long term. There is still some debate in the SEO forums over the importance of backlinks and pagerank in search engine positioning, but it is generally accepted that having large numbers of quality backlinks and a resulting high pagerank is desirable.

One of the keys to successful article marketing is to ensure you always write on a subject that you have a sound knowledge of. A high quality article will be picked up and reproduced much more quickly than one thrown together or poorly written. Take time to think about your subject matter, how popular it might be, what keywords people will use to find it and what angle you want to take on the subject.

Don't get caught in the 'quantity over quality' trap. Yes, you will need to be able to write lots of articles to get significant benefits, but they will also need to be high quality articles. Don't sacrifice quality - you'll benefit in the long term. This is how you build your reputation as a specialist in your subject area. With hard work, quality articles and a little time, your article marketing strategy can establish you as a specialist in your field that others will seek out for more information. The only way is up.

The Best Place To Learn How To Build A Online Business

Are you tired of the same online marketing that is out there? Are you as sick as I am with all these e book course put out by these internet marketing scammers, uh I mean internet marketing gurus that say they are going you to help become rich online but never truly deliver. I mean where does it all end? I have bought into so many of theses broken promises.

But I have found a few (very few) that had a little help full information. But there always seemed little pieces of the puzzle missing.The main thing is a real plan to follow and there was no one to go to when you were confused or stuck.

Well there are few e books I found help full.. And I think there are a few marketing gurus out there on the internet that think there are helping.

But it seems that most can not understand that when some one is just starting out trying to build a online business that do not have tech skills or experience need more than just a e book). And alot of these membership sites have forums that they tell you to post your questions to ,but these usually has either a bunch of people just as clueless as you are,or people who just try to get you to purchase what they are trying to sell. This really bothers me because they are taking advantage of people who were there seeking help.

Here is something I had to learn the hard way, no matter what what the sales copy says there is no push button over night rags to riches system out there.You are going to have to put time and effort into your online business. There is a lot you have to learn.

And the best advice I can give is never give up, stick with it and keep a positive mind set.(something I have alot of trouble with) and you might want to read "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill. For a book that is about 100 years old it is a big help in the way you think about things and the way you think about gaining wealth.

Wealthy Affiliate University has been a big help to me on trying to learn online marketing and affiliate marketing,but the biggest lesson I have learned from Wealthy affiliate is to never give up. I have learned that I was not alone in my struggle to learn online marketing and that there are many just like me, in fact a lot of the marketers that are now making a full time living online struggled for a great while also.http://beawealthyaffiliate.wordpress.com

7 Secrets to Boosting Your Network Marketing Business Immediately

Network marketing is something that promises so much to so many (20,000 people join a network marketing business every week in America). Yet it seems to deliver so little (97% of those 20,000 fail) Why is that? Well, most of them have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

The seven secrets that I am about to share with you briefly are very well-known in the marketing world. In fact, so well-known that I can only just call them secrets. Yet I guarantee to you they will be precious pearls of wisdom in your eyes.

Network marketing attracts, by it's very nature, people pursing a career in marketing, yet have absolutely NO IDEA how to market. Have you ever heard of a pilot flying an aircraft with absolutely no training? Or a surgeon doing surgery without having trained first? Of course not!! The idea is crazy!! Yet how many of you have no idea about how to market, and have not completed any training for your chosen path to financial freedom.

Well, first off, in marketing, what I am about to share with you is GUARANTEED! The reason I can say that, is that I have seen it produce results time and time again. It's like the training school curriculum at a medical or pilot school. It works because when it is applied to a person who completes the training, it produces a surgeon or pilot. The formula (for those 2 out of 100 that like chemistry) looks a little like this;

Daniel's Seven Secrets + You Doing Them Every Day = Guaranteed Success. Any time, every time.

Well here they are;

(1) Identify your target audience - as hard as it is to believe, not everyone needs your product. I can see you opening your mouth and saying, "But Daniel ..."shhhhh. Whether everyone can use your product or you THINK they should does not change anything. Just accept the fact that you cannot market your product to everyone. Find out how old they are, what their likes/dislikes are, what they do in their spare time, you need to know what makes them tick in every department, then and only then, can you fulfill your target markets need/want/desire for what you have.

(2) Positioning - Whether it is through self-development or courses, become an expert in the network marketing field you are involved in. People look for experts to help them find what they want, not newbies with no more ideas than themselves. Positioning brings people to YOU, rather than YOU chasing THEM.

(3) Action - you may laugh, but how many times have you watched videos, written out schedules, looked over your networking marketing product catalog, but at the end of the evening, you have done ... in all honesty ... nothing? Action is not about hitting home runs, signing up 10 distributors in a week. It's about baby steps, every day, over an extended period of time. More games are won in baseball with singles than with home runs.

(4) Showcase your products benefits - do you know what your product does for people? Obvious question, but a lot of network marketers still could not list off 15 major benefits without really thinking about it. How does it help them? What does it help them to do better? Do they live longer? Run faster? Have less pain? Save money? Be safer? How long does it take to work? What results can YOUR consumer expect when taking YOUR product?

(5) Develop a telephone skillset - you want to be successful? Think outside your home town. If you do that, the only way you can reach them in a personable manner, is through the telephone. A telephone skillset is one of the single most valuable tools in a network marketers arsenal. It is a skill that is LEARNED, not something you are gifted with from birth.

(6) Develop a written word skillset - being able to talk to people through paper as if you were actually there. Direct them to you, so you can fill their need/want/desire for your product or service. Again another must.

(7) Learn how to teach (5) and (6) to others - enough said. Again, despite what people tell you, leadership is a skill, not a gift. Anyone can learned it, provided they are willing to.

These 7 steps take hard work, dedication, and an attitude that says, 'I will not give up!!' If that's you, head over to my website for a free report on how to grow your network marketing business and add 3-5 reps a day!
