I see a sad situation in home business where peoples dreams are crushed because they lose money instead of make money.

They join a “hot” opportunity and get very excited but struggle to recruit. As time goes by the end up losing money on product purchases, training seminars, lead generation systems & more.

This video share the alternative to this defeating situation…

I wanted to create this list for people who are looking for network marketing tips on how to use the internet to build and grow their business. There is a lot of information around about what it is that you actually need in order to become a professional network marketer, especially for people who are looking for ways to get started.

What I have found from experience is that MOST of what is taught is not what I would consider to be essential. While it may be good information, after years of experience in this industry I can say without hesitation, that the basics are all you really need to help you create an explosive network marketing business… if you are taught how to use it correctly.

Seven Network Marketing Tips

1. A capture page. This is a web page that you can direct traffic to. Whether you are using the internet to market out onto to the internet, or using as part of your offline marketing strategies, you are going to need a high converting (able to cause visitors to optin to your list) capture page that your visitors can enter their contact details into.

2. An offer. You need a piece of content (down loadable report, video training series or something else) that you can offer for free to entice your visitors to optin to your list. Creating your own content is better in the long run because it brands you as a leader and as a person who knows what they are doing.

3. An autoresponder. Most people know what that is by now. An autorepsonder is a necessary tool for handling all of your subscriber’s details and automating the email sequences etc.

4. A deep marketing funnel with product. This goes hand in hand with your capture page but essentially a marketing funnel is a combination of emails from your autoresponder that direct your visitors to either web pages on your site, blog pages on your blog or videos on a video sharing site. By having product in your funnel you have something there that your prospect is able to purchase that will help you with creating additional funding for your business.

5. Blog. There are so many advantages to you working with a blog in your home business that you simply cannot ignore them. A blog becomes a central place where you can showcase your content, brand yourself as a leader and interact with people who comment on your posts. You can also use a blog like a capture page where prospects can easily enter their details into to access your training.

6. Traffic. If you are not good at driving traffic you simply have no business. And there are so many forms of traffic generation that I could not begin to name them here. If you need information on driving traffic to your capture page there are a ton of great resources out there that will teach you what you need to know to get you started. I use My Lead System Pro for this because of the high content value.

7. Ongoing training. Of course to keep up with the latest trends you are going to need ongoing training on the latest developments in marketing. Again I use My Lead System Pro for this and the reasons are simple. MLSP is currently producing some of the top leaders in this industry from people who have never marketed online before. So the training is obviously very good.

Network Marketing Tips Conclusion

And that’s really what I would consider to be the essential ingredients for anyone looking for network marketing tips. Using the internet as part of your marketing arsenal can be a powerful tool to help you and in fact in this day and age is absolutely essential.

By implementing the above Network Marketing Tips you can be well on your way to building the foundations of prosperity in your life that you are looking for in a home business.

So if the information you have just read has helped you and you would like to find out more about how you can take control of your marketing and dominate in your home business, visit my blog here Home Business Pro. This is where I share exactly how I began to transform my business by keeping it very simple and implementing the above information.

I just read this great article in the New York Times called “Vacations Are Good for You, Medically Speaking” and I thought the info would be good to post here for my readers.

Anyone that is thinking of Global Resorts Network will find this article especially appealing.

Vacations Are Good for You, Medically Speaking (New York Times)

GAS prices are going up, the economy is going down, and it seems hard to justify a vacation when many of us are glad just to have jobs. But now, more than ever, we need to take a break — a real break, not just a long weekend — from our stressed-out lives.

A family at Disneyland Resort Paris, which remains a popular destination despite the stresses of travel.

But, it turns out, even before the downturn, a lot of Americans were working through their vacation time, taking fewer and shorter holidays.

A global study by Expedia.com found that about a third of employed Americans usually do not take all the vacation days that they are entitled to, leaving an average of three days on the table.

This is not so unusual. About a quarter of the workers in Britain do not take all their vacation time, and in France a little less. The only difference is that the British get an average of 26 days of vacation and the French about 37 — compared with our 14 days, Expedia.com said.

According to John de Graaf, executive director of Take Back Your Time, a nonprofit organization that studies issues related to overwork, 137 countries mandate paid vacation time. The United States is the only industrialized country that doesn’t.

Here are some more depressing figures: The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that about a quarter of all workers in the private sector do not receive paid vacation. And the Conference Board, a private research group, said the number of Americans who said in April that they were going to take a vacation in the next six months is at a 30-year low, according to their regular consumer survey. Only 39 percent of those responding said they would go away on holiday over the next half year.

That is the lowest figure since 1978 and reflects a general decline since 2000, when, in April of that year, 49 percent said they were planning a getaway in the next six months.

But really, should you just stay home, relax in front of the television, read a novel, do a few day trips?

Well, vacations are not simply a luxury. There is increasing evidence that they really are necessary for good health.

Using information from the Framingham Heart Study, which started in 1948, researchers looked at questionnaires women in the study had filled out over 20 years about how often they took vacations. Those women who took a vacation once every six years or less were almost eight times more likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a heart attack than those who took at least two vacations a year, said Elaine Eaker, a co-author of the study and president of Eaker Epidemiology Enterprises, a private research company.

The study, published in 1992, was controlled for other factors like obesity, diabetes, smoking and income, Ms. Eaker said, and the findings have been substantiated in follow-up research.

“It shows how the body reacts to a lifestyle of stress,” she said. “This is real evidence that vacations are important to your physical health.”

Another study, published in 2000, looked at 12,000 men over nine years who were at high risk for coronary heart disease. Those who failed to take annual vacations had a 21 percent higher risk of death from all causes and were 32 percent more likely to die of a heart attack.

So forget about cutting down on cholesterol and exercise — I’m off to the Bahamas.

Well, no. But even if you don’t have heart problems, a vacation of at least one week — and preferably two weeks to really unwind — can help you relax and sleep better. Mark Rosekind, president and chief scientist at Alertness Solutions, a scientific consulting firm, has worked with NASA pilots and astronauts on sleep issues.

In 2006, he was commissioned by Air New Zealand to see if he could scientifically measure the benefit of a vacation. He asked a group of 15 people who were flying from the West Coast of the United States to New Zealand for vacations lasting a week to 12 days to wear a wrist device that monitored quantity and quality of sleep — for three days before the trip, during the vacation and three days afterward.

They kept a sleep diary and took a vigilance test to determine how good their reactions were before, during and after the holiday.

The participants were also hooked up to a brain monitor during the 12-hour flight, and other variables, like health, jobs and gender were factored in.

Here’s what he found. After a few days on vacation — and it usually took two to three — people were averaging an hour more of good quality sleep. And there was an 80 percent improvement in their reaction times.

“When they got home, they were still sleeping close to an hour more, and their reaction time was 30 to 40 percent higher than it had been before the trip,” Mr. Rosekind said.

The trick, these days when going on vacation, is not only to physically remove yourself from your normal routine, but mentally as well. Checking your BlackBerry every few hours or rushing to the nearest Internet cafe doesn’t cut it.

For 10 years, the Faculty of Management at Tel Aviv University has conducted a study looking at what is called “respite effects,” which measure relief from job stress before, during and after vacations.

Professor Dov Eden, an organizational psychologist who has conducted the study, found that those who are electronically hooked up to their office, even if they are lying on the Riviera, are less likely to receive the real benefits of a vacation and more likely to burn out.

Here’s one trick. My neighbor Mark had a colleague who was a workaholic. But when he went on vacation, he made sure to go where there was no cellphone or Internet service.

Mr. de Graaf sees a solution to the vacation deprivation problem, even if it’s a long shot. His organization is working with Congress to consider national legislation requiring paid vacation time. He is hoping that such legislation, currently called the Minimum Leave Protection, Family Bonding and Personal Well-Being Act, will be introduced next year. It calls for a mandated three weeks of vacation every year.

“It’s tough, there’s no question about it, but there’s a lot of interest in it,” Mr. de Graaf said. “There’s less business opposition for this leave than sick leave or parenting leave because it’s more predictable.”

He estimated that it could add an extra 2 percent to 4 percent to the labor costs of a business, but “that would be balanced by less turnover and maybe less sick days.”

.

.

Now that I’ve made such a case for vacations, maybe it’s time to acknowledge that in some cases, these trips — particularly with entire families in tow — can be stressful in their own way. The joys of a holiday can also include lugging around a ridiculous amount of paraphernalia, jet-lagged children sobbing on airplanes, hotels that looked wonderful on the Web but are in reality next to a construction site.

Back in 1979, a journalist, Lance Morrow, wrote an article in Time magazine about how rising gas prices were curtailing the annual family vacations. (Sound familiar?) He noted that “the real danger of the vacation lies in its capacity to compress all family conflicts into an exquisitely focused drama.”

And some years before that, the humorist Robert Benchley wrote that “traveling with children corresponds roughly to traveling third class in Bulgaria.”

William Doherty, a professor of family social science at the University of Minnesota, said that “vacations tend to create memories more than any other family activity, and the bad times are some of the best memories.”

He said he remembers, for example, being at the Jersey Shore when he was a child and his father stepped on a shell that sent him to the hospital.

“I got to ride in the ambulance,” Mr. Doherty said. “That was great.”

The trick, then, is to have a vacation that enhances family bonding, but not too much. I’ll let you know how that works out after our Cape Cod trip this summer, where we will be joined by my sister, her husband and three children and my parents.

Let Global Resorts Network Give You The Vacation Of Your Life

.

The content of this post is designed to answer questions and allay fears you might have about selling a top tier business opportunity online such as I do with Global Resorts Network.

Can you REALLY sell a $3k Global Resorts Network membership online to total strangers? What about if you are brand new to internet marketing?

Watch this video below, and then check out my summation underneath the video. You will find that people do actually buy from total strangers online and that you CAN do the same if you want to.

And there you have it. You will notice that we dealt with issues such as…

• Why would a marketing newbie join GRN?
• Why the prospect didn’t join a top marketing guru
• What prompted the prospect to pay $3,000 to join GRN only 4 days before Christmas?
• How I closed this new prospect into GRN without audibly talking to them
• How I used a recruiting technique I learned from Mike Dillard to get my prospect to reverse market to me
• What it was that attracted this new marketer to GRN?
• How I connected with this prospect through social media
• And more…

The reason I put this information here is because there were so many interesting points covered as we navigated our way through the sales process that I thought this information would be very valuable for you to know.

There was definitely a process involved which took a total of 2 weeks from the point of contact to close. But what you will find is that if you are putting quality content out there, and if you are not trying to pitch people all the time, that others will be attracted to you, and if you deal with your prospects with respect and intelligence, that they will follow you into the business.

.

The real point is this… people are looking for opportunity!

.

People are looking for a way. And if you put your stuff in front of them and it clicks with them, that they will make their way to you.

This is what attraction marketing is all about, which was working powerfully here during the sales process.

My Own Personal Concerns About GRN Before I Joined

I had a lot of personal concerns myself about my own ability to sell this product online to people that were total strangers to me. Before I joined Global Resorts Network I had to overcome thoughts like…

• Could I actually pull this off?
• Could I really sell a $3,000 product to people online?
• Could I sell it to people I had never met before?
• Would total strangers find me a credible person that they would want to partner with me in an online business venture?
• And much more…

The point is, if you have fears or hesitations about joining Global Resorts Network, you are not alone.

I think most people are in that boat when they first start. I mean $3,000 is a lot of money to many people, so you have to be sure about what you really want before you join.

But the truth is the product does sell. It doesn’t sell itself, you sell it… but as I previously mentioned, people are looking, they just have to find your stuff and if they like it they will join you.

For me my fears dissipated when I actually sold my first membership to someone from the United States, which was an absolute shock to me because I didn’t think it would be that easy to sell to people outside Australia, especially for my first sale. But it DID happen… and it will happen for you too.

And so there you have it.

I hope you can see that there is real possibility with Global Resorts Network, and that the product does sell in the market place. You just have to make sure that YOU are the person that your prospect is looking for.

Hey there, this is Greg Martin, I am a Global Resorts Network (GRN) internet marketer based in Australia. Welcome to my information page on Global Resorts Network.

.

What Is Global Resorts Network (GRN)?

GRN is a home business opportunity that is on the “cutting edge” of what is currently known as the Top Tier network marketing industry (more about Top Tier soon).

The company is positioned perfectly in this day and age where people are looking for alternative answers and new ways to make money from home, instead of the “old school” way of redundant downline building which was so common in the industrial age type home business opportunities.

GRN’s primary, and only product, is membership into an exclusive vacation club that gives you access to luxury resort accommodation all over the world, staying in some of the most prestigious resorts that are currently only available to the elite “time share” industry, at a fraction of the cost you would normally pay.

.

Why Consider GRN?

If the idea of receiving $1,000 commissions from people on your frontline, as well as $1,000 commissions from people below them to unlimited depth then GRN is the ideal business system for you.

The GRN compensation plan is the perfect system for anyone looking to build a “team” of distributors as this type of compensation plan promotes team building. This is contrary to other affiliate or top tier programs out there where you only get paid across your frontline. With GRN it is well worth the time & effort to build a strong team as the team will reward you generously for your input.

There are many more reasons why GRN is the perfect opportunity for “serious” minded home business opportunity seekers which I will highlight here…

• GRN is part of an $8Trillion “passion” industry with a product that is very appealing in the market place
• GRN’s product is currently positioned to capitalise on the growing “baby boomer” generation that is cashed up and looking for either affordable travel or a powerful Home Business opportunity
• GRN is a Top Tier opportunity that pays lucrative commission with plenty of leverage (more about that soon)
• GRN is an opportunity that can be worked offline as well as online, anywhere in the world
• GRN has “exclusive rights” to thousands of luxury resorts that are only available to the luxury Time Share industry
• GRN is a brilliant alternative to offer people who are looking at starting a business or franchise
• GRN is an affordable alternative to the outrageous fees and risk that is involved in starting a traditional brick & mortar or franchise business
• GRN is also a SYSTEM with LEVERAGE. Real wealth & time freedom can only be created with system’s and leverage

And many more…

Global Resorts Network puts in your hands a system; a powerful leverage tool that is perfectly capable of creating incomes well in excess of $100,000 per month or more. While not everyone will make that level of income, the system is well able to handle large incomes for those looking to create them.

A more realistic income that many people who join the GRN system make are $10,000 to $20,000 per month, which when you view the compensation plan video below, you will see that it’s not as hard as it used to be with traditional MLM opportunities because of the revolutionary compensation plan.

Starting a home based business with GRN is a phenomenal way of creating significant change, not only in your financial life but also your lifestyle.

Many people who are successful with this business spend their time traveling to exotic locations and working their business from a laptop computer, at a fraction of the cost it would normally cost them.

GRN Compensation Plan

So how is the money made and how much can you actually make here with the GRN opportunity? Watch this video to find out…

The Global Resorts Network Compensation Plan Presentation

.

.

As you can see by what you have been shown so far, GRN is not your typical nutritional or vitamin based home business opportunity that is so common and so over done these days, where you have to develop very large downlines and deal with large numbers of people in order to create any money at all.

Those old school “industrial age” home businesses are really dying a slow and painful death as people are having to spend more time recruiting more people just to replace those that leave their team. This high attrition rate is so prevalent in the multi-level marketing style business opportunities.

People who join these old MLM programs don’t realise it yet but they are actually binding themselves to an old and obsolete business model that is doomed to failure before they even begin. Not only do they lose their time and money but they will probably lose a lot of self esteem in the process as they watch their dreams and hopes fade away.

GRN is a new and innovative Top Tier program that fits perfectly into this “information age” that we live in, and leaves any of those old MLM based companies for dead.

.

What Is A Top Tier Program?

We all know how much the internet has changed the way we do business and socialise. At the click of a mouse we can logon to our favorite internet community sites and interact with people in ways that only a few years ago were not possible.

From online banking, to video & photo sharing, to real time video conferencing, in less than a decade we have access to a world that is rapidly changing, all from the comfort of our own homes.

New millionaires and even billionaires are being created in faster times than ever before and the speed at which new income streams can be created are staggering, to those who know what they are doing.

It is these changes that have had such a huge impact on the home business industry and the way in which home business is being done, and quite frankly, those who aren’t aware of these changes are simply getting left behind.

Few people realise that it is these changes that the internet has virtually forced upon us that is responsible for almost killing off the multi-level marketing industry.

MLM is almost dead and those who haven’t realised it yet are dying a slow death inside of it.

But with these changes, the internet has given birth to a whole new way of building home business that are much faster, more lucrative and way more efficient than getting involved in redundant downline building.

.

Introducing The Top Tier Program

A Top Tier program is simply a company with a product that is in demand, that has a higher entry dollar point that also pays you higher commissions for every sale you make.

Top Tier programs are the BEST in the home business industry and are completely taking over other forms of home business. Instead of having to build large teams of people where you earn smaller commissions for the products they purchase, you are selling a higher ticket item and earning more upfront commission.

Right now, GRN is one of the best in the home business industry and has already made a lot of money for people who have become involved in it. Not only do you have a great product that competes well in the market place, you also receive high commissions for every sale you make, plus you also have incredible leverage with their unique compensation plan.

No other company is offering this perpetual leverage compensation plan which of course puts GRN way ahead of other Top Tier programs.

.

The Time Is Right For You

There has never been a better time to start a Global Resorts Network work-from-home business.

While some home based systems have found it challenging recently to expand while sales are down, especially the more traditional multivitamin & supplement based industry, GRN has found the current market conditions extremely favorable, and business is booming.

Imagine owning your own profitable home based business with:

• NO Equipment to Buy
• NO Build out Cost
• NO Account Receivables
• NO Need for Employees
• NO Retail Location
• NO Inventory
• NO Long Term Lease to sign
• NO Signage
• NO Large Capital Outlay
• Minimal Risk
• High Income Potential

GRN is a brilliant system for those people looking to build an alternative income stream or a primary income stream in their life.

For a very low investment, not only do you have access to a powerful business system that gives you a lot of financial leverage, you also have a vehicle for creating significant lifestyle changes for those who are willing to learn and put in the work required.

What Do You Say & Do In A “Welcome” Video That Warms Your Prospects To You?

I thought I would write this post because of the great response I have been getting with my welcome video that I use in Facebook, Twitter, Ning sites and on my Blog here.

Here is my video…

.

.

I constantly receive a steady stream of comments (daily) from people who have watched this video and liked it. There is something about the content in this video that resonates with people that makes them want to comment back to me in some fashion.

The goal of this video when I created it was simple… I wanted to greet them in a humorous way them to REMEMBER me.

I wanted the video to be different, that would get a response, and that would cause people to warm to me without mentioning BUSINESS at all.

Does it work? Like a charm!

So here are my HOT TIPS on creating a welcome video with content that GETS A RESPONSE…

1. Don’t mention your business
2. Don’t try to sell anything
3. Make it VERY friendly
4. Make it personal with info about you & your life
5. Try and come up with an ORIGINAL concept
6. Don’t make it too long
7. Don’t be BORING in your message
8. Include your lifestyle
9. Have fun

In the video I also mentioned things like…

1. The location of where I live
2. Towns that visitors to my area may know

And so that’s it really. Nice and simple and very personal. And like I said the response I get from viewers is exceptional.

It makes it very easy for anyone who has seen this video to remember me when I post in Facebook or other places.

So there you go… think about your lifestyle and where you live and get out there and create a welcome video to send to your followers.

Got comments or questions? Leave them below…

What did I gain from reading Magnetic Sponsoring from Mike Dillard?

I purchased the Magnetic Sponsoring around the end of 2008 and read it a couple of times. I found that it had a profound impact on my thinking and that it brought significant change into my life as a whole, not just my marketing & business life.

Not that the impact was immediate. It wasn’t. But what it did do is show me the mindset that was required to become a leader, an alpha in the home business industry as well as in my personal life. Up until that point I did not have a clue about how my mindset would impact my business ability.

Now I will say this as a disclaimer… I CANNOT say that I have arrived to a total state of alpha leader, nor can I say that I am where I would like to be in my business, but I can say that I am a long way from where I was, not only in my marketing but also in my personal life. The change has been slow and deliberate but it has been ever so worth it and I find myself a much happier person today because of this process I put myself through.

.

.

My belief is that we are all on a journey, you… me… everyone, and that unless you are deliberately guiding your internal self in the direction you want to go, you will by default, end up some place you DO NOT want to go.

Like Yogi Berra said… “If you don’t know where you are going you might end up some place else”.

.

So with that said, here are a few points that I have discovered that helped me to get where I am. Perhaps you can relate to these…

1. Instead of viewing my business activities with a mindset of someone that was just starting out, I began to look at what the leaders in this industry did and how they thought, and began to implement a strategy of being and doing just like they did. Instead of working from the bottom up in my mind, I began to think in terms of top down
2. I began to ask questions inside myself like… what would an alpha leader say and do if they were to create the video, article or Blog post that I am about to create. I entered into the content creation cycle with the thoughts of being an alpha from the word go
3. It set me free from the opinions of others. Alpha leaders are not moved by the opinions of people around them and I discovered a certain sense of freedom when I realized that opinions from others only have a negative impact on my self worth if I allow them to
4. It allowed me to set people free. Rather than trying to project my thoughts and ideas onto others I was able to allow them to be who they are and if they said something that I did not agree with, I was strong & secure enough in myself to allow them to have their own opinion. After all we are all entitled to have our own opinion
5. It set me free to make my own mistakes and that I didn’t care what an idiot I made myself out to be, because we have all been the idiot at some stage in our life
6. It set me free from fear based reactionary responses to negative input from people in my life and business. The world is a very negative place and I decided that I was not going to allow negativity to impact my destiny

.

So there you go… that is a very brief breakdown of what occurred to me after reading Magnetic Sponsoring. My belief is that if you don’t have a copy then get yourself one, it is the corner stone book for leaders within the home business industry.

.

.

Are you an alpha, pre alpha or a beta? I would really love to hear your feedback on this subject.

Requirements To Build A Six Figure Monthly Income From Home

Hi there and welcome to the Blog post.

What we are going to cover with the information in this post is vital to those of you who are looking to Build A Monthly Six Figure Income from home using the internet.

The goal of this information is to equip you mentally and emotionally for what is actually required to create that level of income, and also what is not required.

This list of points is not meant to be a detailed list of everything needed, but a brief look at the main ingredients for your home business success.

The first question you need to honestly answer is…

How badly do you want to make your A Monthly Six Figure Income From Home?

The reason I ask, is that this is a key to your success because if you really don’t want to put in the effort and it’s just a wish for you, then it probably won’t happen. But if you are absolutely serious in your desire then read on to get  some valuable keys.

So, exactly what are the requirements that you need to have in place in order to build your Monthly Six Figure Income From Home?

.

Personal Attributes

Firstly we will take a look at the basic personal attributes required to accomplish your income goal from home business.

Mindset – You need drive, desire & ambition to achieve your goal without a doubt, but you will also need to adopt what is called an Alpha level mindset. Most people in life fall into the level of beta or Pre Alpha, but it’s the Alpha leaders that stand out from the crowd and are sought after by others… especially in business.

I first became aware of this alpha mindset for home business markets when I read Mike Dillard’s book Magnetic Sponsoring. If you don’t have a copy of this manual and a six figure monthly income is your goal, then get yourself one. It’s that simple. This book will reveal to you the attributes of an alpha leader and will change the course of your life.

Leadership – This is vital because the whole of the home business industry is built upon leadership. To lead and inspire others to take action will determine the success of your business.

The three levels of leadership that people need to be aware of are…

1. Following a leader – you need to be able to spot a leader and follow that leader
2. Become the leader – you need to become the leader yourself that other people want to follow
3. Train the leader – as mentioned your home business is built upon the foundation of leadership and you must acquire the ability to lead and inspire others to take action and turn them into leaders as well

As the old saying goes, give a person a fish and you feed them for a day, teach them how to fish and you feed them for life… and you ultimately feed yourself as well.

These are just two of the very necessary personal attributes required to build your business. Now let’s have a look at the tools that you need.

.

Foundational Tools

Blog – A definite tool to have when it comes to personal branding is of course your own Blog with your own domain name. This needs to be a WordPress self hosted Blog and not a free service Blog. It also needs your name or some variation of it as the domain name. A Blog constitutes your own piece of real estate online that nobody but you owns and controls which will then become a central part of your marketing. The Blog must have pictures and information of you on it as well as being optimized for the search engines.

Lead Capture Pages – These also form a vital part of your marketing system and are another great way of personally branding yourself. Lead capture pages or marketing funnels as they are also called is where you capture your prospect’s name and email address in exchange for free information like an eBook, a report or some form of other training or information.

As an example in my case I have a free video course at www.onlineMLMgold.com where I teach new people how to create their own marketing funnels, drive traffic and generate leads and upfront cash for their business. Your own marketing funnel is where you can also educate your prospects on who you are and what you have to offer. My recommendation is that you learn how to create your own marketing funnel and if you don’t know how to achieve that already then the course at www.onlineMLMgold.com is a great place to start.

Autoresponder – An autoresponder is essential for you to capture and store all of your prospects into a database that you can continually drip feed information to and make sales to over and over again. Autoresponders automate your email campaigns from the time someone decides to opt in to your website all the way through to making sales and also through to joining your main opportunity.

The database of prospects that you build with your Autoresponder becomes a powerful asset in your business. The bigger your database the more power you have in your marketing and the more money you will make.

Products To Sell – This category can be broken down into several components…

1. Your Own Info Products that you create, such as an eBook or a video training course etc
2. Affiliate Products that are relevant to the industry and to your subscribers. Examples of this are Mike Dillard’s products like Magnetic Sponsoring, MLM Traffic Formula and others
3. Tools such as Autoresponders, webhosting, websites and other 3^rd party tools like Traffic Geyser. As an example I make considerable money each year from selling Autoresponder subscriptions with webhosting and Blog setup to people in my team
4. Your primary business opportunity

Marketing systems – this is simply just the usual means of getting you and your message out there in front of the masses and branding yourself as a leader. Examples include but are not limited to video sharing, Twitter, social media like FaceBook, articles, eBooks, reports, podcasts and others.

You can also produce Blog posts and have them syndicated all over the web, but whatever it is that you do, it all constitutes a major part of your marketing tree that continually feeds people into your marketing funnel.

Primary Income Producing Opportunity

Of course the major part of your income will come from your primary business opportunity. Your ability to create substantial financial change in your life to a large extent depends on the effectiveness of your primary opportunity that you offer your subscribers.

You will need a system that is fully congruent with the internet age that we live in and that has the ability to produce results fast. The last thing you want is something that is outdated and slow and MOST multi level marketing systems these days fall I to that category.

A great primary income opportunity I use is CarbonCopyPro because of…

• Low Startup Costs… It had to be easy for people on small budgets to start. I didn’t want those that are struggling financially to be left out because they couldn’t afford it. I know there are entrepreneur’s out there that are gifted and talented and who are just looking for the right opportunity but who, for one reason or another, are struggling financially. It was these people that I DO NOT want to exclude.
• Massive Leverage… I wanted the opportunity to have massive income potential. I am talking about multiple 6 figures per month type potential where an entrepreneur could start at the bottom level and build huge monthly profits within a very short period of time.
• Real Proof… There had to be proof that other people who were using the same system were actually making the big money from starting small. I wanted to know that the system was capable of delivering the results it was claiming to deliver.
• Up To Date Training… Most old school network marketing home business opportunities are still employing industrial age based thinking in their marketing. I wanted training that was totally up to date with today’s internet based marketing strategies. In fact I was looking for THE leaders in this field and because of my technical background I knew exactly what to look for.
• State Of The Art Marketing Funnels… I didn’t want to have to build my own sales funnels with follow up email campaigns for this opportunity. I wanted to begin marketing immediately so that all I really had to do was create an article, a video or a blog post and refer people to my company affiliate page and that the system would take over for me and close my prospects automatically.
• Duplication… The system had to be very easily duplicatable. If it was easy for me and people in my team to duplicate then success would come easy for me. And if it came easy for me then it would also come easy for those in my team.
• Not MLM… so your income is not dependent on the performance of those below you

These are just some of the many reasons why I choose to run with CarbonCopyPro.

Mentoring And Training

I mentioned this point AFTER the income producing system because as a member of CarbonCopyPro you get all of these as part of the package.

You need to be plugged in to training that can transform your marketing and your thinking so that you know what it takes to become a top producer.

To use a metaphor, imagine for a moment the branches of a tree. The branches of the tree receive ALL of its nutrients and growth from the main trunk of the tree which is also part of the root system. If the branches abide on a weak tree with weak roots then the branches will be weak. Alternatively if the branches abide on a strong tree with strong roots then the branches will be strong.

You too… if you are looking for a strong business then you simply must be connected to a strong system that can produce the results you are looking for. Nobody is looking for weak results with their business and the strongest income producers online are those who are connected to strong systems.

And that concludes the post on what you need as the requirements for building your six figure income from home in the new millennium.

From experience with building lists and working with people in the home business industry I can guarantee you that there is a big difference between having a list and having a tribe of followers who like you and want to deal with you.

You have to remember that some of the biggest income earners in the home business industry online are developing tribes of people that they regularly interact with and add value to. If you aren’t pursuing this in your online business career then you are definitely leaving some serious money behind.

Anyone can acquire lists of people. Heck you can even buy them and send regular SPAM emails to them, but that does not mean you have a tribe of followers. And remember, when it comes to home business success… you definitely want followers.

You may have heard of Seth Godin’s book called “Tribes” where he outlines the differences between people who build tribes and those who don’t. In short… tribe building is a major part of your online success and I have some tips here to help you develop a tribe from your list.

Personal Attributes To Help You

This is a brief list of attributes that you need to consider to help you build your tribe.

1. Transparency – Be real with your people and be available. Most people get turned off when they suspect that you are hiding something from them or that you have an ulterior motive in your business or marketing. When you produce content, especially video content where people can see you, make sure you are genuine in what you say and offer.

2. Value – Everybody loves someone who can help them solve problems or that can add value to their life. If you can be that type of person that positions themselves where you can help those in your list you are well on your way. The premise for this of course is that you have knowledge in the first place that can actually help people. If you don’t have knowledge to help those in your list, go get it.

3. Authentic – Be a person who is worthy of belief. I notice some people online, especially in video marketing, that carry on very unprofessionally. If you are setting out to build a large six figure monthly income then consider your posture when it comes to being authentic. Do you come across as someone who you consider to be believable? If not then change the way you deliver your message.

4. Professional – In this game of entrepreneurial mastery nobody likes to deal with someone who is unprofessional in their dealings. Be a business person not a get rich quick opportunity seeker.

5. Presentable – Do you have problem with your appearance? And I am not asking you if you are ugly and have a great face for radio… do you present yourself as someone who is neat & tidy? Especially in your video presentations, consider what you are wearing and also the backgrounds that are behind you. Also consider the tone’s in your voice when you are speaking and ensure that you sound pleasant and easy to deal with.

6. Relevancy – You need to ensure that what you are presenting to your list is relevant to what they need and want. As an example, there was a marketer I know who used to deliver valuable content through video but now all I hear from this person is “save the planet” type stuff. And I am not interested in that type of stuff when I am looking for information on how to market. The content must be relevant to your tribe.

These are just a few to get you thinking but you have the general idea here. You are involved in business, and earning six figure per month is big business. So in all that you do, be the person that other people would want to deal with and you should be fine.

Methods Of Delivery

Now that we have covered the personal attributes let’s have a look at how you put these things into place. There are various levels of interaction that you can use to help build your tribe. You probably won’t be using all of these initially, especially for new people, but this will give you an idea of what you need to aim at implementing.

Level 1. Educational Interaction – This is the level that I am operating at now with you. Providing valuable information that is relevant to what people want.

Level 2. Transactional Interaction – This is where people from your tribe are either buying product from you or joining you in your primary business.

Level 3. Communal Interaction – This is where people from your tribe comment on your blog posts, video’s and articles and/or interact with through social media methods.

Level 4. Virtual Live Interaction – Virtual meaning “online”. This is achieved through live webinars or teleseminars. This method is proving to be a great income producing source for many professional marketers who know what they are doing with their tribe.

Level 5. Community Interaction – This occurs when you provide a place for your tribe to not only interact with you but also to interact with each other. This can be achieved using 3rd party social networking platforms like hosting your own forum or running your own online community using software like Ning, Drupal, SocialGo and others. This is also a great way of increasing status in your tribe as well.

Level 6. One-on-One Interaction – This level is for things like private coaching a running small group training events.

Level 7. Live Group Interaction – This is hosting your own seminars offline at places like function centers etc. This is a great way to brand you as the ‘guru’, plus you can also video record your event and share it with your tribe which is also another great way of interacting and building your status in your tribe.

.

As you can see each level is like another rung in your ladder of interaction with your tribe. If you are only new to online marketing and are wondering what your business should like in the future, this is a great illustration to see what type of activity you will be involved in with your tribe. In fact you could quite easily use this as a business building guide to know what level you need to be working towards next.

I heard this quote the other day and it grabbed my attention as I believe this is an issue that many new marketers stumble over when they begin to market online.

And this is the quote…

Amateurs SELL — Professionals SORT.

In the end, this entire process can be summed up in just three steps…

Now let me start by asking you a simple question.

Would you rather have people eagerly contacting you about your products or services, or would you rather hunt them down and beat them over the head with a sales pitch until they runaway calling you a crazy person?

Well if you like option #1 more than option #2, pay VERY close attention because I’m about to fill you in on how we make that happen each and every day for our members here at CarbonCopyPRO…

The first thing you need to know is that “marketing” is king. Period. If you don’t believe me, let me prove it to you.

(By the way, making a list of your friends, family and business contacts to pitch the latest fruit juice, lotions, potions and pills to is NOT marketing. It’s called “laziness” and does not work)

Let’s say that you have the chance to market what you think is the best new product in the world, so you have the company ship $3,000 worth of it to your front door.

Well guess what…It’s just going to sit there.

Have you ever heard those weird stories about Amway guys who had garages full of product?

Well that happens because products don’t sell themselves… “Marketing” does.

So here’s to make that happen in 3 very simple steps:

* Step #1 — Build a prospect list. This is a list of the people who respond to your advertisements, signaling to you that they have in interest in what you offer.

* Step #2 — Build a relationship with your list. People buy from those they like, respect, and trust, and it’s no different here. The best way to do that is to offer true, honest value.

* Step #3 — Market to your list. This is when you market products and services that will help the people on your list get what they want.

I like to cal this process “building your tribe”. Anyone can easily build a list online but it takes more skill to build a tribe of followers that want to hear from you, that respect you and want to buy from you than it does to simply build a list.

Remember, this isn’t about you making money….It’s about you serving others. The money follows.

So that’s the process in a nutshell and it’s these fundamental steps that the biggest marketers on the Internet are doing to build their 7 figure businesses.

See you at the top.
