Many internet marketers very often talk about the number of leads, sign-ups and various strategies of getting them, while forgetting why they really need all this. I don’t want to sound cynical, and think that I am a realist in believing that there is only one reason why you need to generate leads and get prospects. You do it to grow you business and ultimately earn money out of the time and effort you invested in the opportunity.

When marketers forget about this, their business sums up to hunting for leads and strategies on how to generate those leads. But remember that where there is a need (leads, sign-ups) there will be an opportunity for scammers that will want to rip you off.

I don’t want to beat the air, but those who have tried paid-for sing-ups know what I am talking about – it is not worth a dime where many pay $200. Here are the reasons why companies that offer Mlm guaranteed sing-ups are a clear scam:

1. There are generally 2 types of leads and sign-ups: good and bad. When honest internet marketers talk about sign-ups they mean quality leads and sign-ups, of whom at least 15% will result in sponsored prospects. Companies that sell you sign-ups talk a lot about what they offer but avoid the question of how good this sign-ups are. And their strategy is obvious: they promise you sing-ups (ANY sing-ups) and deliver them, never mentioning how many of their sign-ups are indeed ready to join your business. There are even some liars who run away sooner than that.
2. Guaranteed sign-up scams are focused on newbies who are desperate to get any leads and prospects because they were never taught how to generate quality leads. Seasoned marketers will never fall for it.
3. Such companies simply hire people to create e-mails and sing-up to your company. After they have done so, you will never hear from them again. Managers of these companies claim that they don’t pay anyone to do it because it is too expensive for them, but, indeed if you hire people from India and Philippines they can do this kind of singing up for less than $1 an hour. And in that hour they’ll create anywhere from 5 to 20 sing ups. So if you pay 200 dollars for 100 sign-ups they will pay somebody about 20 dollars to get these ‘ESPECIALLY FOR YOU’
4. Remember that EFFICIENCY is a key word to mlm. If you are really set on paying for sin-ups, please, calculate how many prospects you get from 100 sing-ups generated in this way. You will see that there won’t be ANY. The scam is not concerned about your business – they just want your money.
5. In general, NOONE will manage your internet business better than yourself. So think twice before you outsource parts or all of your business to a third party. You need your business to be effective and your name respected. With “guaranteed” sing-ups you will have neither, but a reputation of throwing you money on the wind.
6. The sing-ups will have little idea of what internet marketing or what your particular company is.
7. The company will sell the same sign-ups to another one like you later one. This is, really, of little importance since these sing-ups are crap. But even if they were quality ones, this would lead to direct competition.

In order to succeed in mlm first get proficient at sure ways of generating leads like article marketing, video, blogging and SEO, and only then experiment with seemingly “fool-proof” strategies. Mlm is an interesting business opportunity but no one said that you could just pay no-names $100 and get it all figured out. Don’t let scammers fool you and don’t throw the money down the drain. If you are interested in generating QUALITY leads in such a way as to have as much as 30% of people get back to you, here is the right system to start with. A system that all top producer online are using top build there team :

Branding is effective positioning of a product in such a way as to create a direct and strong association between the name and the essence of the product on the market.

Have you ever asked yourself why two people selling the same product on-line don’t get the same results? Even though there can be several reasons, all mlm experts single out two key elements to successful internet marketing: internet marketing strategy and internet branding strategy. Unfortunately, they are often confused but I maintain that understanding it, makes all the difference in the world in your sales and ultimately in your pocket.

Internet marketing strategy is the practical aspect of your overall marketing tactics, and includes the marketing system you use, marketing leads scheme to the landing pages, extent of outsourcing, the set of social sites you choose to work with, amount of internet presentations and webinars, and, of course, the choice of products you decide to market – health products, collectables, services, and more. Marketing strategy is vital for any business, I mean internet marketing business in  particular, but the scope of this publication is to highlight the other essential aspect of your work – internet branding. I say internet branding because it has a number of characteristic features that make it special and sometimes different from off-line branding.

Branding is so important that whatever product you decide to market, you will inevitably end up branding or re-branding it. When you decide to build your business in internet marketing, you essentially, decide to brand yourself as the director, manager, user, and distributor of your own company. Thus, you should try to replicate every department that a big company should have, including the marketing department that takes care of the company image. You have probably heard that world class companies sell their products at higher prices because they put in the price the name of the brand. When you hear Mercedes, Vodafone, BMW or Sony, you already have associations with their products. People know  who they are and what they sell. But listen here, have YOU done your homework? and what do people associate with your name and your product? what do you offer them? Credibility, quality, steadfastness, intelligence, support, availability, friendliness…Or, take-it-or leave-it blunt approach to clients because you are so busy generating leads and writing landing pages? Remember that 80% of purchases, especially on0line purchases, are influenced by emotions. What are your feelings when you market your product, and are the feelings that your prospects get from talking to you? Do you get irritated with them? If you do, then get rid of that right away, and consider that your character, and not only your marketing strategy, defines your success and your income.

Two people can do the same thing with different attitudes to their time, work and clients, and one will make $10,000 and go up the ladder of success, while the other marketer only $10 and stagnate at where he is. And this can happen just because the second guy can’t offer people what they need – love, care, understanding, AND the product. People appreciate when others serve them and are willing to pay for acceptance and natural relationships. Business is not production but RELATIONSHIPS and COMMUNICATION.

YOU make your internet business and your product different from your neighbor’s, and appealing to a specific group of customers that are like yourself – have the same interests and priorities in life. So let people know you… AND the product you sell. Here is what you can start doing today:

1. Position yourself as the leader. If you can’t be the boss of your own company then get back to your regular job or learn how to become one. You can outsource everything but not your role of the leader;
2. Position yourself as the teacher, guide and an expert in what you do;
3. Understand that as the leader of your business you, and ONLY you, have the  information they need to get. Make this information VALUE and not VOLUME oriented;
4. They can probably buy the same product from somebody else as internet marketing does not produce anything on its own. But you need to brand and promote YOURSELF and not the product they buy from you. They need to buy it from YOU.
5. Let the world learn about you and your name. Your name and the product’s name should always go together;

Now you probably agree with me that branding yourself is one key factor to your success but how can you accomplish what you just read ? Lot people get confused and overwhelmed when it come to brand yourself online even for the best marketers. It could take weeks and months to create all the neccesary stuff to start branding yourself online and lot of money. That’s why some top internet marketer came together and create a 100% customizable system to help YOU brand Yourself online.

Even though Internet is a fast growing marketing tool for network marketing, huge numbers of self-employed individuals, over 90%, can’t make it the job of their dreams. Many get frustrated and give up in their first year because of a lack of counsel and direction. They are given generic marketing theories to build their business on which are a far cry from everyday marketing reality where people make real money. Newbies have a vague understanding of what they sell, how to sell it, and where to find people who would be interested in buying their product. The inexperienced marketers experiment at generating leads and contacting prospects but give up soon. Others get desperate because they indeed have understood the rewarding nature of the internet business and would want to make mlm their full time occupation, but can’t do it because of a low number of leads, few responses and numerous objections from prospects.

Orlewicz, Fanale, and Schlomer tried to observe what make a success in mlm, and had taken invaluable experience from all the years of trial and failure where at some point their debt amounted to 150,000 USD. Having cracked the secret of making extravagant money, though, they started their own business sponsoring from 30 to 50 prospects every month and getting to the 7 digit number of profits in the first 12 months. They have already paid out over 500,000 dollars to their students who did nothing miraculous but diligently followed the blueprint explained in “Conquer The Internet” DVD, and confidently claim that their company will be number company of the niche in a year.

“Conquer The Internet” DVD entails all their experience and practical secrets that can make you successful in any mlm company. The DVD doesn’t only explain but also shows how to:

One of the first questions to come to mind when a newbie gets to internet marketing is “Can I do it part time, because I have a full time job right now?”

It’s definitely a legitimate concern because you are not paid just for doing something in the internet business full time. The idea behind any opportunity for self-employment, and internet marketing is certainly one of the best ones, is not how much TIME you spend on it. Let’s look realistically at any job. Your employer is not interested in keeping you full-time if the volume of work is just for 3 hours a day, or if you can do your share of work faster than in conventional 8 hours. You are paid by your PRODUCTIVITY in a certain period of time. The more you produce, the higher the payment. Of course, production is tightly related to time that is allocated for a certain task. It is very unlikely that one can sell 5 cars an hour – a month would be a more realistic deadline even for a good seller. Consequently, you can’t hope to make 20,000 dollars a month in the mlm business just because you put in it 20 hours of day, 7 days a week. Time is just one of the ways to MEASURE your productivity and it’s not the most objective one.

Another assessment tool for the internet marketing business that tells by far much more about how you work is the number of leads you generate and the number of prospects you can sponsor in a period of that time. If you know how to generate an average of 10 leads in an hour of work, or 5 new prospects every 10 hours of concerted effort you put into your internet business, I will say that you can do it part time or full time because your productivity allows for that. On the other hand, it you are able to only come up with 1 lead a week and 1 prospect a month, you will have a hard time with internet marketing doesn’t matter whether it’s part-time or full-time.

So the keyword in your business is PRODUCTIVITY. And here are steps that you need to take if you want to become more productive and, consequently, successful doing internet marketing part-time:

1. Change your attitude to work. Employed people think in terms of time: full-time/part-time; businessman think of how much they do and analyze the RESULTS of their work. What have done in these 10 hours a week? How many good leads have I generated this week? How many prospects have I sponsored? And finally, the question you have been working on: HOW MUCH MONEY CAME TO MY ACCOUNT?
2. Find an experienced marketing mentor who will be willing to practically lead you through the whole process of internet marketing with some tangible final results. It’s better to see once how it’s done than to hear about it ten times.
3. Define your strengths and weaknesses. A mentor could potentially be of great help here as well.
4. Time is like money. If fact, it can become your money. If you invest in Zimbabwean currency don’t be surprised when you go broke. You could have invested millions of dollars but the problem is not in what you invest but how you go about it. You need to invest in quality time. Get rid of any distractions, even phone calls and family. Only focused time with a concentrated attention to what you do, whether you talk to your prospects, write content or manage your mlm system will eventually count. Organize the time you have decided to invest in your internet-based mlm business in the best possible way.
5. OUTSOURCE.  There are many things to internet marketing and you can’t be good at everything. If you want it to be part-time, the best solution is to understand what needs your foremost attention and what can be managed through outsourcing. Discover your strengths and outsource your weaknesses because they could be somebody else’s field of expertise that will improve your overall productivity. You can even find help among family, friends or students in your neighborhood who would be willing to help you. Just check them out. You are the boss and bosses don’t do everything themselves.

So my answer to the question: YES, it is possible to succeed in mlm being involved in it part-time but you need to know what to do and how to do it. If you haven’t found a mentor, identified your strengths, understood what to outsource or organized your time properly, and need professional advice and help, be sure to get in touch with us at :
