Many home business folks for whatever reason struggle in this industry and continue to struggle for most of their careers. Thet are great people, and many have a lot of the skills that are needed to Succeed in this industry.

Many go to seminars, listen to the audios, attend the webinars, are on all the conference calls, read the books and do what they are taught to do. It seems they are on a one way track to Success as hard as they are working.

They make the phone calls. They do the appointments. They retail the product. They do the three ways. They train their folks. And they even do beyond what is required from them. They step up to the plate and are there for when they are needed and truly are a team player. They are well liked, and respected.

These great folks are the backbone of any organization. They are the true “worker bees” and their goal is to make something happen that will produce the results they are looking for. They consistently create activity and they are not shy about telling you about their results.

Or lack of them.

If there was a tonic that could be given to these people- I wish that I had it. But it does not exist. Most people that I just described are thinking about their lack of results, lack of volume, lack of income, and the growing lack of belief.

Sound familar?

This is typical of a lot of home business entrepreneurs today. They are GREAT people, and want the best for their family and team- but it aint’ happening.

And they wonder- “What am I doing wrong? I am making the calls, doing the appointments, and holding the conversations- but nothing seems to be moving forward. I have made a great effort for Success.”

True. But you have not made THE EFFORT in your business. And that One Effort determines everything else that happens in your business.

It impacts your phone calls.

It impacts your emails.

It impacts your prospecting.

It impacts your retailing.

It impacts your presentations.

It impacts dramatically your energy.

As well as your paycheck.

Some people call it THE POWER of Success- and others call it “The Decider” of Success. No matter the industry or venue.

It is called — DECISION.

Most people NEVER Succeed in their home business because they have never DECIDED to Succeed. And THAT is one of the most powerful factors in everything you do.

And I am NOT talking about making a choice. We all choose things daily. That comes from the mind and can be changed. What I am talking about is the FORCE and Power of the HEART. ALL Decision is birthed from the heart and is non-negotiable. It is undeniable. And it is like a non-stop GPS System that is guiding you and empowering you to get to the destination you have programmed it for:

Your DREAM.

When you DECIDE to Succeed, all aspects of your home business are taken to a whole new level. And your strugle starts to dissipate almost immediately.

Why?

Decision can be felt in everything you do including your words and actions. When you decide to Succeed at something, people take you more seriously. They respond to you more positive. They listen more intently. They are drawn towards you versus repelled by you. They LIKE what they are feeling and hearing from you. It is a Force that is felt in the person’s heart- as your heart is unleashing the Power of Decision.

And they want to be a part of something so powerful that it made you to step up and Decide that this was going to take you to the top.

And they want to go with you.

If all of that happened - and your results radically changed- would that increase your revenues?

DUH!

That is the single greatest reason why you need to DECIDE from the Heart that you will not be denied, and no matter what- you will Succeed. That action alone puts you in the top 3% of people in this industry, and

you will start seeing “3% Results.”

Bottom Line: People respond to people that have decided to Succeed much more positive than folks who have not. The Prospect is FEELING from someone who has decided- a Conviction and Confidence that most will never know. They refuse to step out and DECIDE there are no other options and this is their ONLY option- Success.

If you did that and really decided that there was no other alternative- would it change your mind set? Yes. Would it change the tone in your voice? Yes. Would it change the way that you look at your plan of action? Yes. Would it change how you approach this business?

Totally.

Decide today. Put your heart out there and say, “Enough is Enough! I am tired of listening to people that cannot get me where I want to go. Today- I draw a line in the sand, and I Decide that Success is my only option- and my only course of action. Period. No exceptions- no excuses- only Success. It is done.”

Try this little exercise. It can start to totally change the way you look at this business- and YOU.

Would that be rocking for your Networking Home Business Success?

Oh yeah!

How has the American justice system transformed so amazingly over the last few decades? The answer could be a very complex problem to identify.

Are these changes due to an increasingly larger number of attorneys that have entered the marketplace? Is it because the burden of proof is so undeniably different in the two courts of the law? Or could it be because the capitalistic system that we live in is so dependent upon money that we as a society have to determine blame and assign a dollar amount to it?

Reading fiction books as well as watching network and cable television contributed to my thinking process. The American public including the media has a fixation with murder and death. If you and the vast majority of Americans are like me, then you probably haven’t come across murder and shootouts and street killings unless you are on the front line of law enforcement and need to work those crime scenes on a daily basis.

A couple of trials over the last ten to twelve years that garnered nationwide attention also started my mind thinking in overdrive. Both occurred in the Southern California area. They were the trials of O. J. Simpson and Robert Blake.

In each case the aforementioned parties were acquitted of the criminal charges that had been brought against them. Each escaped prosecution from murder on the criminal side of the law. However, on the civil side of the law each was held responsible for actions that contributed to the deaths of the victims. An arbitrary monetary amount was determined in civil court for those two people to pay to the relatives of the victims. When you stop and think about it, how bizarre can that be?

That came about because the burden of proof is so remarkably different in the two courts of law. On the criminal side the burden of proof is so extraordinarily difficult to prove without a shadow of a doubt. Because of that we have lawless individuals walking the streets of our society because they have attorneys that are adept at putting a seed of doubt in the minds of jurors. Only one juror and in some instances two, can hang a jury or force acquittal. On the civil side only a simple majority or in some instance two-thirds of the jurors can determine the monetary damages that the accused should pay.

Let’s take a second and examine the two sides of law and put the differences in layman’s terms. There has been a crime or action committed. In a criminal court of law the government brings the case against the accused. In a civil court of law the parties are two private individuals. In a criminal case the court must decide if the accused has violated a statute against society as a whole. In a civil case the court must determine if one person has caused harm against another.

To take this example further, the penalty in a criminal court of law is punishment or some sort of rehabilitation. In a civil court of law the remedy is monetary compensation for the loss that was sustained. To accomplish all of this the prosecutor in a criminal court must prove without a reasonable doubt that the accused has committed the crime. In a civil court the plaintiff merely has to prove that the preponderance of evidence supports the claim.

That offers some sort of explanation as to why the outcome in both the O. J. Simpson case and the Robert Blake case caused two glaringly different conclusions. In both cases the criminal prosecutors for the government could not prove without a reasonable doubt that the accused committed the crimes. However, in a civil court the attorneys for the plaintiffs were able to prove through a preponderance of evidence that the defendants were responsible for the deaths of the victims. Hence the court awarded monetary damages to be paid by the defendant to the relatives of the victims.

The crime of murder and the fixation on that crime by our society is one example of how the two courts operate differently. But let’s look at a different crime that occurs in our society. Let’s look at a case of fraud. This could also be explained as a subtle crime, commonly referred to as white-collar crime. It is so different from a murder or a bank robbery.

In a criminal court a crime such as fraud is also extremely difficult for prosecutors to prove. Plus the crime would have needed to be against the government before any charges were filed anyway. And even though the preponderance of evidence in theory works in a civil court, it is so difficult for a defrauded individual to come up with the resources to prove that a fraudulent action occurred.

Under that scenario the defrauded party, who more than likely was cleaned out financially must come up with the money to afford a legal team. In all likelihood they must also fund a team of private investigators. In the meantime, the person that committed the fraudulent act has the financial gains from the fraudulent act to successfully deter any efforts to collect damages. In that set of circumstances the deck of cards is stacked against the plaintiff that is filing suit against a defendant.

Take it one step further. Pick up an entertaining book titled “Lifetime Loser” by James Ross pertaining to this concept and see how it is applied to the game of golf … specifically nicknamed the “gentleman’s game.” It deals with the two separate courts of law and the crime of fraud.

The book might also serve as a notice that there are other crimes in our society that should have as much if not more attention given to them than just the act of murder. Fraud and white-collar crime can ruin lives just as easily. An aspect of the story examines one characters journey through the civil court system and the hurdles that it presents. See how the preponderance of evidence collected by a plaintiff can be difficult to bring forth. In many ways it can be as complex in civil court as the burden of proof is for a prosecutor in criminal court.

The last couple of years has seen an explosive increase in the volume of internet marketing as more and more people now buy their goods online. During the first dot com boom of the late 1990s, the major driving force was the idea of exchange of information using the internet. People were excited by the amount of information available on the internet and soon came to prefer the internet as the number one source of information to other previous sources.This was a new phenomenon at the time and it led to increased traffic and revenue from the internet, as the service provides saw the huge business potential of internet marketing.

But these days things are quite different. Unlike the gigantic bubble that was created during the 1990s, which was based on high demand and low supply, today’s internet boom is much more balanced. People are purchasing more on the internet, seeking more information and sometimes earning their living from the internet. And everyday, new products and services are added to the internet that are meeting the needs of more people around the globe.This has led to a much greater daily use of the internet especially in countries with well developed internet facilities. All this means that internet marketing is getting bigger daily and people are reaching ever larger audiences through the internet.

There are other reasons that have also increased the importance of internet marketing to the average internet enterpreneur. For one, the financial investment required to get results online are a fraction of what they would be in the real world. Advertising can really be cheap on the internet if one is knowledgeable on how to go about it.Infact a person can literally enjoy free advertising if they want by using a number of different methods on the internet. Also,the total and per capita advertising rates are cheaper online than offline, thus allowing little players access into a game that was previously the exclusive to the big players.

The future potential for internet marketing is also partly responsible for its constant growth. More players are now better positioned than they were during the first internet marketing boom of the 1990s. More and more big companies that were established offline have discovered the huge potential of the internet in reaching audiences that were previously unreachable, hence these companies are building ever increasing online presence.The future for internet marketing is very bright indeed as more people are using the internet daily and more companies are establishing online presence. As the demand and supply of internet marketing continues to grow, the overall economy of internet business becomes healthier, which in will in turn lead to more investment.

In conclusion, the importance of internet marketing cannot be overemphasized to the business enterpreneur. Many analysts have predicted that the volume of business being done online will increase several times over the current level in coming years. Infact, some believe that the internet will eventually replace other media and become the main source of customers for most major products worldwide. This therefore implies that in the future, the biggest and most successful businesses will be those that are able to apply the most effective internet marketing techniques to promote their goods and services worldwide.Those that fail to master these techniques will find that they are unable to compete in the business arena of the future. - Show quoted text -

If you are like most people in the United States, it is likely that you have, or will have received an invitation to become part of a network marketing company. You may have considered joining one because your friends were involved, or because you were hoping to be able to bring in some extra cash. It can be hard, however, to tell the difference between network marketing companies that are legitimate, and those that are scams and should be avoided. The most important thing to remember with this kind of business is to do your research before diving in.

So what is network marketing exactly? It really is just another name for multi-level marketing or MLMs. Multi-level marketing is a business distribution model that allows a parent company to market their products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and direct selling. What this means is that the main company offers a product for sale and each person in the business has to sell the product on their own as an independent contractor. If someone just sells the products, a MLM business can be successful; however, usually the real money comes from recruiting more people to do the business under you, because a lot of times MLM companies offer a certain percent commission off of each person under you. There are many legitimate MLM businesses, but there are certain “pyramid schemes” that are not. The scams usually try to get people to focus more on getting others to join under them, rather than trying to sell the products, which are usually of poor quality, if they exist at all.

Even with all the scams out there, if a legitimate network marketing business is found, they can be great home businesses or side businesses. Usually MLM businesses require very little start-up cash, and there is a lot of flexibility in the business because each person is an independent contractor. How you operate your personal “company branch” is entirely up to you. So what is a good place to look for legitimate multi-level marketing businesses? The Internet is probably the best place to find and research MLM companies. There you can find information on many different MLM companies, from the super well know to the lesser know businesses. When considering a MLM company to join, there is no need to worry about being involved in a scam if you do proper research first. Some companies have you get your family’s opinion before starting a business to see what they think of the idea. In many cases your friends and family would be the first people you would sell the products to, and so getting their ideas is a good procedure.

Once you have chosen your network marketing company to be a part of or even if you decide not to get involved, the rest is still up to you. Be sure to follow the instructions that your MLM parent company lays out for you. Dedication and prompt action are the keys to a successful multi-level marketing business. If you never talk to anyone about your business, you will never be able to sell any products, and you will never make any money. Good luck in your business!

This is one strategy used by many marketers today. Whether you’re a pro online or a beginner, there is one thing that is common between the two —- And that is Traffic ! Having a good website is great. Having a good salesletter is great also. But if there’s no traffic coming to your site then you need to find a way to get it there. The way that I have found to get that flow of traffic is thru this particular form of marketing you are reading right now. And that is “Article Marketing.”

The reason why so many people give up on writing is because they write two or three articles and sit back to wait for the flood of traffic to come and it never does. Because article marketing doesn’t work that way. Consistency is the name of the game here! You will increase the traffic flow by writing more. Just spend a few minutes a day focusing on the subject at hand and you will be amazed. And if you don’t have the time to complete an article a day, then shoot for every other day or once a week and then you will begin to notice a difference in the flow of traffic over the course of time.

Another reason why many people give up on writing articles is because they say that they run out of things to write about. And that there is a limit of things to talk about when there is just a few subjects at hand. Well that may be true, but when you begin to write you bring a uniqueness that nobody else has. When reading articles some people don’t receive the same information that another person might receive from that same article. Because there are so many forms to writing. That is where you come in. Nobody has what you have. Just begin to talk. And as you talk, start writing. And before you know it ,you’ve written an article —— congratulation !

Using article marketing to get traffic to your site, you also have to have good content. This is why I love using this method. To bring good content you need to know a little bit of what you are talking about. So that sort of force you to go out and learn something new that you probably didn’t know before. Which means that you are growing. And the more that you grow —- The more you know —- and The more you know — The more you talk — and as you talk remember — start writing — and Bingo ! Another article.

After you’ve written your article, don’t forget the resource box. That box is reserved for you to introduce yourself and a call to action. There you will have your chance to direct your reader to where you desire them to go. That is why it is important to have good content in your article. If you’ve capture the readers attention long enough to get to your resource box then consider that article a success. Everybody is not gonna be interested in what you have to offer, but that’s ok. The main thing to concentrate on is to develop good content so we all can benefit from and we all can continue to grow and write articles.

Links are one of the most important parts of successfully running a search engine optimization campaign. As a matter of fact, having well-placed links will do a lot to help to push your website to the top of the search engine result pages for the keywords of your choice. Although there are many different ways for you to acquire these links, there are some ways which are almost automated in nature. By taking advantage of every aspect of your link building campaign, you can not only get your website listed in the search engines quickly, you can also be benefited by the incoming links for a long time to come.

One of the easiest forms of linking that exists is that which is found in directory submissions. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of directories for you to choose from on the Internet where you can post a link to your website. Some of these directories are free to post links and others charge a fee, either a one time fee or a recurring fee. It is up to you to decide if it is worth the effort to post to the free directories and if it is worth the cost to post to some of the paid directories.

Some of the paid directories are very important for you to be listed in, regardless of what the price is. This is especially the case if you are a little bit experienced with search engine optimization and are fairly confident in your ability to get your website listed well on the search engines from your efforts. Some of the paid directories that you want to make sure you’re part of include Yahoo and Joeant.com. Yahoo is fairly expensive at $299 a year but by having a link in the Yahoo Directory, you will be giving your SEO efforts of major shot in the arm. Popular directories such as Joeant are an excellent way for you to position yourself with some back links as well.

Submitting your website to the free directories is also an excellent way to give yourself a boost in the SERPS as well as getting yourself listed on the search engines initially. Google does not necessarily give as much weight to these free search engine submissions but remember, Google is not the only kid on the block. Yahoo also has the ability to send you a massive amount of traffic if you’re positioned well in their search engine results and MSN can send you traffic as well. Each of these lesser search engines will place a lot of weight on many incoming links from these free directories.

All in all, submitting to directories, whether free or paid is an excellent way to set yourself up for success in your search engine optimization efforts. Make sure, however, that you don’t stop with just a few simple directory submissions. Make it a part of your overall efforts to continue improving on your rankings in the search engines.

Network Marketer has a dubious past. As in every profession, there are individuals that take the low road. However, it is comforting to know that a dishonest network marketer does not make it to the top of their company, because their organizations lack the foundation that duplication brings. One’s team members cannot and will not duplicate dishonest behavior.

Sometimes new network marketers are making a presentation to a prospect about the company and the prospect will ask; is this a pyramid scheme. A new network marketer will become uneasy. Honest companies with great products and great compensation plans are being lump together with illegal pyramid schemes. A new network marketer will become uneasy. However, all he or she has to do is present a copy of the company’s code of ethics. If your company is a member of the Direct Selling Association it has agreed to abide by it code of ethics. At http://www.DSA.org/ethics, it states the following:

· The cornerstone of the Direct Selling Association’s (DSA) commitment to ethical business practices and consumer service is its Code of Ethics. Every member company pledges to abide by the code’s standards and procedures as a condition of admission and continuing membership in DSA.

· The DSA Code of Ethics speaks to both the consumer and the seller. It ensures that member companies will make no statements or promises that might mislead either consumers or prospective sales people. Pyramid schemes are illegal and companies operating pyramids are not permitted to be members of the DSA.

· The DSA Code of Ethics is enforced by an independent code administrator who is not connected with any member company. The code administrator will do everything possible to resolve any complaints to the satisfaction of everyone involved, and has the power to decide on remedies. All member companies have agreed to honor the administrator’s decisions.

One can also go to the before mention website and read the entire code of ethics to which one’s member company has agreed and to which a network marketer has agreed if his or her company is a member of the Direct Selling Association.

Personal Ethics

Ethics is a big issue in business and many other areas. Some individuals want to make it to the top of their profession or just make a lot of money and are willing to compromise their values to do it. They may bend the truth or omit information that they think will lose them a sale or a recruit. There is no reason or place for this in network marketing. Network marketing is a great way to for people to change their lives. Whether their profit is $500.00, a month or $100,000.00 a month or anywhere in between a family’s financial situation will be changed. There is no reason to misrepresent your product or company if you believe in them. You many not get a recruit but you might get a loyal customer, whose good will may bring you a recruit.

Remember your prospects are not just looking at the product, service, or company, they are looking at you. If they join your team, they are joining because of their impression of you. If they purchase product they are buying for you and will refer their family and friends to buy from you. Good will goes a long way when comes to the success of a company, product, service and a network marketer. Remember, ethics is not doing the thing that looks right, Ethics is doing the thing that is right.

· These are some of the things an ethical network marketer wants to avoid to preserve the good will:

· Do not encourage recruits to purchase large amounts of product they cannot sell or personally use.

· Do not make unsubstantiated claims about your product or service

· Do not make unsubstantiated income claims or enticing income claim, because you that the amount of time and effort one has to give their network marketing business play a major role in their earning potential.

When you present you product and business, leave your prospects and customers with a position and accurate representation of your product and opportunity. They will think of you when some is looking for a product like yours or may even give your card to a friend or family member looking for a business opportunity. They might say I know some you can call she an outstanding and honest person check out her business.

Nowadays there is loads of advertising methods used by marketers in order to expose their products, drive traffic to their websites which results in generating sales. Among those methods is video marketing as the one of the most effective ways to make money online.

The popularity of video on the internet and video networking sites such us YouTube where thousands of new movies and animations are uploaded on daily basis attracted many people who started turning video marketing into profit machine.The main factor deciding about effectiveness of this advertising method is that you can reach a huge audience for a minimal investment, and make your return of investment coming from it outstanding. It’s also a new way to drive traffic to your campaign and generate huge amounts of sales in result.

Loads of companies are using video marketing as the highest converting tool available online and the most professional presentation of their products within the shortest time possible. Video advertising on the internet isn’t anything new, but the the variety of different formats available makes it develop and give the users complete freedom in expressing themselves using simple or advanced video techniques. That leads to the numbers of ways that video can be used.

What is a private label rights (plr) service and how can it best be used to help you master the net and successfully promote your Internet marketing start-up? What are the pitfalls to be avoided in using plr articles?

A plr service produces a certain number of articles and even full-length ebooks every month for its subscribers. The articles are available to all the subscribers and they have the right to publish the material on their websites or elsewhere. The idea is that plr articles enable Internet marketing start-ups to build content quickly and are an option that many busy website owners are keen to use to add content to their sites under their own names. Plr ebooks may also be republished under the subscribers own name and marketed as new products or offered as incentives to visitors to sign up for their newsletters.

These features are said to give plr users extra credibility and make it more likely that a visitor will return to their site, or even go so far as to buy something.

However, remember at the beginning I asked “What are the pitfalls to be avoided”?

Well, there is just one pitfall, but it is a rather LARGE one that must be negotiated before you rush off to sign up with a plr publisher and start posting articles to your site.

That there pitfall is called “dooplicate content.”

Always remember: Gooogle just hates doooplicate content.

If you publish an article without making any changes to it, it will be identical to numerous articles found on many other sites. Your article will therefore be rated as “duplicate content” by the search engines.

The reason for this is that search engines aim to present their users with material that is useful, unique and relevant to their search terms. So, if 100 subscribers of a plr publisher simply paste and post the same articles on their sites, search engines that lack a “duplicate content” filter would turn up 100 identical articles for their users. As someone who probably searches for stuff on search engines, you can imagine how pleased a user would be with the results of their search if the first ten pages turned up identical sites! A search engine that did not filter duplicate content would soon go out of business as searchers would avoid it like the plague.

If you plan to use plr content, first check out how many other sites are using the same article before you publish it. You can easily do that by copying a sentence from the article straight into a search engine. Place inverted commas around it to narrow the search down to that exact string only. You’ll probably discover that as many as 100 or more sites have already beaten you to it and published the article.

If, on the other hand, you find just a handful of articles, and if it is a Google search you are conducting, don’t jump to the conclusion that your article is still quite fresh and new… Look out at the bottom of the listings for Google’s duplicate content message:

“In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 5 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.”

The last part of that sentence links to the full search results and you will almost certainly find many many more copies of the same article have been published.

So, is there a way to get your plr articles out there without suffering any penalties?

Yes, there is, but there are some steps you must take first. Here they are.

1. Make sure you write your own unique title for the article.

2. Write a unique opening paragraph for the article.

3. Sorry, but you also need to rewrite large chunks of the second, third and probably fourth paragraphs too. Actually, once you get used to the process it is not so difficult. Read a few sentences at a time, then rephrase them, turn them around and mix them up.

4. Write your own closing paragraph.

You will now have four to six paragraphs that are in your own words and that are therefore very unlikely to be counted as duplicate content.

Just how much of the article you rewrite is up to you. The more your rewrite and, the more changes you make, the more original the article will appear to both the search engines and your site’s visitors.

Well, you may ask, by the time I’ve done all that I could have written an original article from scratch. Of course, if you can write articles from scratch that is to be encouraged, and indeed, even if you use plr articles, you should still aim to write at least some articles entirely by yourself.

You will find that writing your own article takes longer than reworking a plr article, however. Plr articles can be rewritten in just a few minutes once you have got used to the process, so they save you a lot of writing time - and they also save you many hours of research.

Used properly, therefore, plr articles are a valuable tool in increasing both your personal productivity and your presence on the Internet.
