What is Network Marketing and How Does it Work?
What is it?
We do word of mouth advertising without even realizing it. Brian Tracy said,
"Fully 84 percent of sales in America take place as the result of
word-of-mouth advertising. Some of the most important sales promotion
sales activities are those that take place between customers and
prospects, between friends and colleagues, in the form of advice and
recommendations on what to buy, or not buy, and who to buy from."
Network Marketing is simply word of mouth advertising that you get paid
for. Have you ever told someone else about a great dining experience or
movie? Did the restaurant or movie theater pay you to share your
positive experience? NO! Have you had any services performed on your
vehicle or home that you we're satisfied with? Did you tell someone
else about it? How much did that business pay you for referring a
friend or family member? Nothing!
What it is not! "People who do not understand Network Marketing point
at it as a pyramid, when the truth is that they are probably involved
in something that truly is a pyramid!" Bob Proctor
Some people are confused by mixing the terms Network Marketing and
Multi-Level Marketing together. They are not the same. Actually they
have nothing to do with each other. Multi-Level Marketing refers to a
pay structure. If you work for a Company, Government or Educational
System you are in a Multi-Level Pay Plan - meaning the person at the
top position makes the highest income and the person at the bottom
position makes the lowest income - and there is very little to no
option of moving from the bottom to the top. http://www.myspacerelayout.com
In Network Marketing anyone can move from the bottom to the top. The
top is open to anyone who is willing to work for their success.
How does it work? Find a product or service you can relate to and
believe in from the DSA, Direct Sellers Association or
totalimageint.com/healthy4u. Once you have personally EXPERIENCED your
product or service of choice start 'sharing with others the results you
have received and invite them to experience the product or service too!'
If you hate selling, but enjoy talking with others you will love
Network Marketing. Statistically for some reason Teachers have the
highest success rate in Network Marketing.
Why is it growing fast?
Bob Proctor said this about Network Marketing, "It's the most moral form of compensation I have ever seen."
Network Marketing is growing so fast for three primary reasons. It
offers hope, relationships and money. Hope makes current circumstances
bearable. Developing relationships is the driving force that carries
the message. For the masses Money is the reason why people work. But
what if you could work your job for the skills you will learn and you
work your business for the money. That is exactly what I do.
What are the benefits?
Speeding up the ability to semi-retire or retire sooner, after all most
of us work for 40 + years for what reason? Make a living and save
enough money via IRA, Keogh, 401k, Social Security so we can have an
income during our retirement years.
Do you like people, then how about more friends? Travel! A greater
sense of purpose! Career goals or improved personal skills, what about
college educations, money for retirement? sgtwlak

One of the biggest problems we encounter in our consulting with
businesses, and our students is time management and organizational
techniques. This article will concentrate on some good organizational
strategies. Two of the best organizational techniques I have found over
the years are the Tickler File and the Chron File. This article will
concentrate on how to use them everyday in your business.
A Tickler file is used extensively in the legal arena. A Tickler file
is a file in which you put items that you need to take care of by a
certain date. For example, an accordion file is used in the legal
office, the accordion file has dates from 1-31 with monthly folders
(January-December). If a court case is to go to trial on June 13th with
depositions to take place through May, the case would be put in the
accordion file in April, so that letters could be sent out in April to
those who need to be deposed in May. The letter for a particular
individual would be placed in the appropriate day for May that the
person was to come in, or even the day before with a note to call and
remind this individual they have an appointment. Anyway you get the
idea. The tickler file allows you to put notes, files or letters in
them as a reminder (tickle your memory) for you to do something. The
tickler file is also a great way to get all the papers off your desk.
When I am done at the end of the day, I place my to do list (with the
items to be done), in my tickler file. My tickler file is a legal size
accordion file, which is numbered 1-31. I have made up my own monthly
files. Yes, you can purchase manila files with the months already on
them, however, they are expensive, an expense I don't think is
necessary. My tickler file is in the drawer of my desk. When I am
finished at the end of the day, all of the items I am still working on
are placed in my tickler file for the next day. So the tickler file can
serve a two-fold purpose, clearing off your desk at the end of the day,
along with acting as reminder and keeping track of what need to be done
in the upcoming days and months for you.
For those of you running your own Lease Purchasing business it also
allows you to tickle a reminder to yourself to run your ads on a
consistent basis, utilize your marketing strategies, Real Estate
meetings, speeches, and articles to write, along with the other items
you need to do.
I know many of you use computer programs that act as tickler files do.
This is fine, as long as you use them. I know you can set up a system
like this one in Outlook and many of the Personal Management Programs.
That's fine. However, I find that most people don't follow through with
the computer programs, and have found when consulting with businesses
that the old fashioned way makes them more comfortable, since they are
handling paper and files and don't have to bring up a specific program
to look for something. However, if you are more comfortable with a
computer program, please feel free to employ one. Just remember, to be
organized, you do have to use it. http://www.myprowealths.com
Another issue that comes up quite often is finding a particular letter
or memo in a file. One of the best ways to keep track of correspondence
is by using a Chron File. A chron file is a chronological file of all
the correspondence you send out on a monthly basis. You would have
chron files for all twelve months with the letters sent out that month
in date order. If you use client files, you can still use the chron
file, just make a second copy of the letter for your chron file. It
might seem extra work for you, however, I have found over time, not
everyone can remember a particular clients' name, and it is much easier
to remember they did a letter in a particular month, and find it that
way. Chron files are very handy for those businesses that don't send
out a lot of correspondence and don't want to have to make a file for
one piece of correspondence. Your correspondence is organized by month
and year and much easier to retrieve if you need to. I keep the current
monthly chron file and the past two months in my desk drawer before my
tickler file.
For those running a lease purchase business, your chron file is perfect
for those follow-up letters from telephone calls to sellers, marketing
letters to mortgage brokers, real estate agents, etc. You don't need to
make a separate file for those type of letters, just place them in your
chron file. sgtwalk

Baby Business
Of course, you don't have to make fresh, organic, and local
underlining values of your baby food business. Perhaps these attributes
are not as important to parents in your area. However, as I have
already shown you, the market for products that have these qualities is
growing rapidly. And the fact that your baby food is fresh, organic,
and local is unlikely to turn people off. But you may loose potential
customers if your food doesn't have at least one of these attributes. http://www.sgtwalk.com
Why Organic Foods For Babies?
-Existing regulations on the amount of pesticide residues that
non-organic foods may contain are based on 'acceptable' levels for
adult consumption. Babies and young children are at greater risk
because the immaturity of their body systems makes them more vulnerable
to toxins.
-Because children's diet is often restricted to just a few types of
less processed food- like apples, potatoes, carrots ' they may receive
higher exposure to toxins.
-From conception until one year of age, children are at their most
vulnerable. During this critical stage of development cells are
multiplying at their peak, yet the body has limited diet to draw upon.
-A baby's digestive system is also more efficient that that of an adult
at absorbing foods, enabling nutrients to be used more quickly, but
also making the body more vulnerable to toxins. Immature kidneys are
not as proficient at excreting harmful substances, so they may
circulate in the body for a longer period of time.
-No one knows what effect genetic engineering may have on food products
and the health of those who consume them. So the best way to protect
yourself and your baby from possible problems is to choose organic.
Organic baby foods are produced without genetically modified
ingredients. http://www.myprowealths.com
Why Local Foods For Babies?
-Eating local means more for the local economy. According to a study by
the New Economics Foundation in London, a dollar spent locally
generates twice as much income for the local economy. When businesses
are not owned locally, money leaves the community at every transaction.
-Locally grown produce is fresher. While produce that is purchased in
the supermarket or a big-box store has been in transit or cold-stored
for days or weeks, produce that you purchase at your local farmer's
market has often been picked within 24 hours of your purchase. This
freshness not only affects the taste of your food, but the nutritional
value which declines with time.
-Locally grown fruits and vegetables have longer to ripen. Because the
produce will be handled less, locally grown fruit does not have to be
"rugged" or to stand up to the rigors of shipping. This means that you
are going to be getting peaches so ripe that they fall apart as you eat
them, figs that would have been smashed to bits if they were sold using
traditional methods and melons that were allowed to ripen until the
last possible minute on the vine.
-Eating local is better for air quality and pollution than eating
organic. In a March 2005 study by the journal Food Policy, it was found
that the miles that organic food often travels to our plate creates
environmental damage that outweighs the benefit of buying organic.
-Eating local protects us from bio-terrorism. Food with less distance
to travel from farm to plate has less susceptibility to harmful
contamination.
-Supporting local providers supports responsible land development. When
you buy local, you give those with local open space - farms and
pastures - an economic reason to stay open and undeveloped

A lot more people than you may think make money from home in successful
home based businesses. Whether they work at their businesses full or
part time, they are able to make money from home by providing quality
products or services to the local community at a personal level or
globally via online services.
http://www.myprowealths.com
You may be able to make money from home by doing things you love to do.
Wouldn't it be great to profit from your hobbies and interests? If you
enjoy making craft items you can create them and then market them
either locally or online to a broader global community. You can even
take a good idea and tailor it to a particular niche so that it is
unique.
The number of home based businesses has grown considerably over the
past decade as the internet has enlarged the opportunities available to
make money at home. As technology and online services have improved, it
has become easier and less expensive to set up an online business and
get it operational. Websites can be set up inexpensively and quickly.
You need to learn about internet marketing and you're on your way. A
way to quickly make money from home is to work online as a freelancer.
This way you don't need to establish a website immediately, you can
begin to establish your reputation as a freelancer by obtaining work
from freelance writing sites. You just need an email address and
professional skills to make money from home. You can bid on jobs
(contracts) at freelance work auction sites. Some of the most popular
forms of work available on these sites are computer programming, web
design, and freelance writing. Once you begin to build a good
reputation and a solid client base, you can expand your business by
marketing from your own website. This allows you charge higher rates as
you are not directly competing with very low bids.
Another popular way to make money from home online is to become an
affiliate marketer for other people's products or services. An
affiliate is someone who is paid a commission for sales gained from
their referrals. To be truly successful as an affiliate marketer it is
important to have your own website; it is also necessary to belong to a
number of affiliate programs that are all linked in someway to your
website's theme so that you don't waste targeted traffic.
If you would prefer to create and sell your own products, you might
consider information products such as eBooks, streaming videos, online
training courses and audio downloads. Information products are ideal
because once they are created there is no further cost of production
and you make a hundred percent profit as long as you are the sole
provider of the products. The most successful information products
offer specialized information that people are prepared to pay for. http://www.myprowealths.com/affilate.html
More and more people are making radical changes in their working lives
in order to change the quality of their whole lives and make money from
home. It takes a decision, courage, the willingness to learn, the
ability to do something well that people are willing to pay for, and a
dose of patience. But the result is certainly worth it for a lot of
people.
