Read this before you think about submitting to Article Directories
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s time to start getting those creative juices flowing again. I know it’s been ages since you wrote anything, but we did it all the time in school. Think about now as getting paid for helping people with the great info you have.
There are already many tools that people can use to make the process of distributing their articles more easily. Though this is invaluable in getting the contents more exposure, which is only half of the story.
There are some common mistakes we should look at that people are committing when posting to article directories:
1. I think most people are not taking time to think about what they are going to write about, and why they are promoting it.
When writing an article, there are three things that you are trying to do; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.
But the main reason why you are writing an article is to inform your readers or audience. So make sure you focus on intriguing your audience with your article. I think the best way to do that is, by asking you this question. If I read this, would I find it helpful and would I use it to help grow my business.
2. Don’t fail to take full advantage of the promotional opportunities of article marketing.
You might already know that those articles can get you links back to your site, or blog, but I wonder if you knew that you could get better search engine results from those same articles.
Make sure to use your keyword in intentional places, and you could also use anchor text. I will talk about this another time, but this is a good way to get good search engine results.
3. Writing content that does not assist your readers.
Guess what? Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content automatically. Oftentimes, they have some guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting.
In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a little exposure from better links back but on a very basic level. Or enjoy substantial exposure from a little extra time making quality contents.
It will be your choice. You may not be aware of the fact that an article submitted on directories is not meant to have the same level of exposure as highly-targeted content ones geared on a narrow group of people.
Learn the difference between these two and it will surely help you know what kinds of articles to write and to submit.
I hope this helps you, I will be writing more on this subject this month.
Blogging is not a Spectator Sport, Get in the Game Network Marketers!
Posted by: | CommentsI have been talking to a lot of people lately and they want to know why it’s good to start a Blog. Well I went away to the Bat Cave and started to think about the question. I really wanted to offer a good answer that would add value you to their business. Well after thinking about it I have come up with some good food for thought.
First let me ask you a quick question. “Would you buy from a company that had no presence online?” I think for me that question is easy to answer, and it would be “No” for me. Companies spend billions of dollars to convince you that they are the right one for you in whatever they’re selling, and if they don’t have a web presence makes me think twice about them.
I think we need to think like this ourselves but on a budget we can afford. We are not going to go out and hire advertising firm to sell our Network Marketing Business for us. But why not take an approach and put together a serious business strategy as a company would when approaching the idea of advertising there product.
!. Start to develop a Brand Identity. For Example: Think about what is going to be your specialty in this industry and go after that niche. Companies do this all the time, and I have a friend who has done this for fortune 500 companies, and they pay him big bucks.
2. Now you have a Game Plan, Get in the game. I watch sports all the time and love watching them play the game. It’s like a beautiful painting in motion. But how much has Lebron James, Randy Moss, or Yankees done for your business. One thing that sets you apart from then is that they put the jersey on and play. It’s time we take our jersey “called life” put it on, and develop your own fans in your industry.
People follow you, because you are doing what they won’t do, and that is get started period.
3. You got a jersey on and ready to build a following. The best way I have done that myself is start a Blog or Website about YOU! “Not your business”. Set yourself apart from others in the industry and watch your business grow.
Now you are becoming a superstar as the big names I mention before. People following you and buying your jersey “MLM Training or Company you’re in” going to your games “Seminars that you develop to teach people your knowledge” and tell others about you skills and build you a following.
Overall Your Blog or Website will set you apart from others who are not willing to treat this as business. This is not a “Hobby” this is your business; treat it like one.
Caution: Don’t think you are going to just start a Blog or Website and the traffic is going to roll in. Remember Branding doesn’t happen overnight, and you need to build over time. So if you are not adding value and just pitching people to join with you; you just ignored everything I said.
Remember people buy into “YOU” not your business. I could get involve in Ice Cream deal, and people will follow me because of my Leadership and Care for my team.
So add value by entertaining, enlightening, and educating others with your Knowledge. You can do that in so many ways and I will talk about that in other segments.
I have posted a link for a step-by-step video on How to setup a Blog from of the best in the country at the bottom of the page. He’s know for this, and it’s his special niche in this industry along with many other things.

Informative MLM Advertising Tips
Posted by: | Comments
This is just to be funny, I don't think like this.
I want you to be informed before you make a decision about advertising your MLM Business. I want to present a case not on my opinion, but Facts and Truth. This is the time to start, and to do it right the first time. Read Below….
It doesn’t matter what program you start or are thinking of getting into. You WILL be told that you have to do some advertising of your MLM deal in order to make it work or to get the word out about your program.
Once you begin you will hear your company and your sponsor say to make a LIST of at least 200 names. After that they will tell you take massive action. Now, Don’t get me wrong this is good, and I have done this myself several times.
Now there are many methods in advertising your business. Most people prefer these days the internet. But I want to caution you. The things that work 5 years ago, might not work today. You really need to know your stuff, like SEO, PPC, Blogging, and etc.
You could lose more than just money when it comes to most types of MLM advertising.
I’ll explain…
Let’s start by saying there are several different forms of advertising. The most obvious one is advertising such as in a newspaper or MLM magazine. This is an offline technique, and you do have a good chance of reaching a large community of people.
I personally wouldn’t recommend this in these tough times right now. Here’s in article showing that paper circulation is down. Click here
Other offline advertising techniques could be as simple as placing flyers on telephone poles in your city. It’s simple and it gets the word out.
Check your cities codes, you don’t want to pay in heavy fines for doing this type of outwardly harmless MLM advertising.
You could go the route of advertising in magazines and other offline publications and newspapers.
I’ve done it and it can get expensive very quickly – even when you advertise in those penny newspapers and free newspapers. The costs add up very quickly and you most likely will get a very limited return for your investment.
But don’t get me wrong here. There are others that have done this and it helped them, but I personally haven’t seen it in a long time.
Well, go ahead and try it. But buyer beware that there are many more unobserved factors involved with MLM advertising than just repeating what they did.
Now with the internet being used more each year, I’m pretty sure most people have switch mostly to that method in place of this. We went from paper articles, to internet newspapers, and you can place ad-after-ad for free. Especially the age of social networking at all time high.
Success with MLM Advertising Involves More Than Just Placing an MLM Ad
It involves…
- proper wording
- correct timing
- marketable product
- changing people’s perceptions of MLM
- also learning how to approach people who respond to your add
You can get tons of people responding to your MLM ad but if you’re too frightened to call them back and talk to them about your product, or you are nervous with them on the phone – why would they join you?
They won’t, so get books and learn to be leader. If you’re not, “act as if”. All that means is; act as if it was your company and you had all of the confidence in the world for your success.
Also if you can get an MLM advertising expert’s advice, do it. Even some MLM advertising experts may have achieved their success several years ago. There are still gold nuggets to glean, and a lot of useful information and training about MLM advertising. Why? Because most of this advertising stuff doesn’t change much and can still help you.
Let’s move on…
Learn how to avoid the pitfalls of Internet advertising
I know you’ve read in many places about the countless success stories that one can now expect to obtain by advertising online on free ad sites or through using MLM banner ads. This is ringing more true than ever these days.
If someone is telling you that they have a miraculous way to help you succeed at free ad sites or free for all sites – don’t walk… run in the other virtual direction. Nothing is free, and the faster you learn that; the better you will be.
Banner advertising is really becoming saturated all throughout the internet. But if you can attract people to your site or blog; you can make money.

They are many lead capture pages or squeeze page systems out there; they are sales funnels, auto responders, and etc. Just make sure you do your research.
And this type of MLM advertising can be track, and tested to see what is working and what’s not working.
Quick suggestion we be go to this site Better Networker everybody here is so helpful and they are willing to help beginners.
Using free search engine advertising works if you have time to wait. It’s working for me because I’ve set up my websites to work with the engines. I’m getting plenty of MLM visitors and they’re targeted too.
If you want to you too can learn more about this type of MLM advertising. I will have so more info on this in another segment. SEO or “aka” search-engine-optimization is becoming relativity more easy to use. They have been major breakthroughs for average people to apply these techniques.
It would take a whole paper to write on just one area on how to start this process. But there are people who have systems out there that work. Now you need to be cautious on this too, don’t believe everybody that does SEO. You need somebody that works in the niche industry of MLM.
I know just the right two guys who do that, and there systems are doing wonders for people out there in the MLM industry. I will be sure to talk about them more in my SEO category on my blog. MLM Research and Development
If you’re doing more traditional MLM advertising, which is proven and has a long track record, I would learn how to offline and online MLM advertising.
Science behind MLM advertising; particularly working the Online system.
Many companies spends millions of dollars each year to do their advertising, and they’ve spent in some cases several decades to learn and change with the times and to prove what works best in today’s advertising marketplace.
Richard Brooke once tell how he placed an ad that he wrote for his MLM business in a local paper. I think it was for a Chicago paper back in about 1980. His ad was a quarter-page ad, so it wasn’t too hard to miss. He placed it in the inside page of the sports section of the paper on the day one of the biggest US sports-event announcement’s of the year was to be made.
He spent $4,000 for the ad, and Remember, this is a big budget in the 1980’s. What’s do you think that4K would be worth today?… $20,000 maybe $50,000?
The paper had a readership of about 2 million people and Richard figured that even with 1/100th of one percent of a response that he would still make out like a bandit.
Well… guess what? He didn’t receive one response. Not one.
He laughs, but I would grieve if it was me. Its a good thing that now he can educate others on his success and failures.
Research…Research… and learn all that you can about MLM advertising before you jump into any expensive MLM advertising endeavor. Why? Also this can be a costly mistake of time and money. Lose hope in the MLM industry and even yourself.
Remember this if you quit, you have really failed. If you continue to fail, you have really succeeded. Don’t quit and continue to learn from your mistakes.
Do whatever you can to first learn about MLM advertising. Why? So that you go into it informed and make good decisions based on facts and truth. Not on emotions and hope.
I hope this MLM advertising information helps you on this course to helping you achieve your goals and dreams.
