			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have an online business, you really need to use Google AdWords.  Here’s how it works.  First, you write short ads that have keywords in them.  These keywords are words or phrases that pertain to your site or business.  Then, when someone is searching Google, or browsing sites on the internet with Google, their search results will come up on a page.  On the right-hand side of the page, your ad will appear!  This narrows down the choices for the person browsing because they’re already interested in your goods or services.  If the user clicks on your ad, they will immediately be led to your site.</p>
<p>If someone is just doing a general search on any internet browser, they will type in words or phrases related to their search.  The page results will come up with approximate results that can be hit or miss.  They may make it to your site, if you have used SEO (search engine optimization) keywords in your online articles.  If you want to be surer, Google AdWords is a great way to attract quality leads and weed out the tire kickers.  Your goal in online advertising is keeping expense to a minimum, but how do you do that while bringing maximum traffic to your site?  By utilizing Google AdWords.</p>
<p>If you aren’t sure what keywords or phrases to use to drive traffic to your site, here are some tips.  What are the goods and products you are offering?  Think of any and all words related to them.  Think of questions related to them.  This is because of the fact that many people type questions into Google search!  Before the internet you had to go to the library and use the encyclopedias to find out information.  Or, you could look through the card catalogue and find a book!  You really had to narrow things down to an exact word or thing when using the library in those days before computers.  Apply the same methods when thinking about your product or service keywords.</p>
<p>Here are a few more reasons to use Google AdWords.  You don’t have to do any searching for anyone.  Anyone can find your site!  It works easier that way in most all areas of life.  Be sought out, instead of searching.  Google’s main avenue of profit is in AdWords.  If it works for them, you know it will be successful for you!  Almost 80% of web users use Google, and it is growing daily.  You can’t lose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are rough economic times.  People are trying to make ends meet.  Many are completely out of a job.  However, there is no recession in the MLM world.  Just the opposite is happening.  As people are looking to supplement their incomes, MLM provides an answer.  It is because of the law of attraction.  People have a need for extra income, and MLM provides an avenue.  People get afraid when financial instability comes upon them.  They are looking for leadership and solutions.  The MLM industry is booming because of this!</p>
<p>People are out of work because of the recession and unemployment.  What better way to begin a new venture than in MLM marketing.  It only takes a small investment.  All the training is provided by the up line.  The worry of having to go back to school and continuing their education is covered.  They would just have to spend more money that they don’t have to get another degree or more training.  And who has the time for that, as you have to consider daycare for the kids, and travel expenses, and time.  Time and money are valuable to most everyone.</p>
<p>Many people don’t feel good about their jobs because they have no security.  If the economy continues to worsen, they may be unemployed.  If you are in the MLM industry, you can help these people not to be afraid.  Being fearful clouds your judgment and blocks your creativity.  An MLM organization can lead many into opportunity now.  MLM leaders will reap the rewards of sowing into someone’s life by helping them financially.  It is hard to think logically when you are struggling monetarily.  Right now many people need the leadership and quality services MLM’s offer.</p>
<p>People are attracted to MLM because it is a home-based business that can be done in the comfort of their home.  As people find their living standards changed or threatened by the economic downturn, they are searching for solutions.  They need a long term answer, not just a quick fix.  They can start today with the help of a MLM distributor.  They know large profits can be made in MLM.  They know it is something that they can start on immediately in their own home.  This makes people feel empowered.  If you have the experience of being a quality leader during this boom in the MLM industry, put it to good use.  Sign up as a distributor today to help yourself and help others make ends meet and thrive!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re not using the internet to promote your MLM business, no one will see it because it won’t be there!  It won’t come up in any searches.  No one will be able to access it or click on your link, if it isn’t there.  If you don’t have a website, how can anyone visit it?  So, to answer the above question, no, and it works the same for your MLM business.  You need to have a web site that has good information to inform users of your products and opportunity.</p>
<p>Content it the most important thing to keep in mind as you are designing your web site.  What is absolutely vital is that you find a niche and produce the content of your site according to it.  This means that you think of one or two characteristics of your product.  You focus on what needs those characteristics meet.  For instance, if the need is lowering someone’s blood pressure, that will be your niche.  You have to think like the individual who is surfing for a solution to their problem of high blood pressure, and go from there.</p>
<p>As you create your content around your niche, you will be using keywords.  These keywords will also attract individuals with problems to your site as they look for solutions.  So, you have to make sure that you, through your site content, sound knowledgeable.  If you sound knowledgeable, you will be able to be an effective leader with value.  The value part comes in because you are meeting someone’s need by helping them to solve their problem.  And, that is what all effective leaders do!</p>
<p>When you establish credibility in this process of helping individuals solve their problems, you will also build trust.  As you build trust, you will advance your business.  This will produce sales and leads for you.  The leads you sponsor will become your down line.  As you become the effective leader with value, you will gain followers.  You have attracted them, and they want to network with you.  This is because you gave them a reason to when you met their need!  The ultimate goal is to continue to keep this cycle going in your down line by helping them do the same for their customers.  Keep in mind, none of this process can happen unless you are using the internet to promote your MLM business!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To be an effective MLM leader, set goals.  Set goals for one week, month, and year, two years, and five years.  If it helps you, set daily goals!  Goal setters and keepers are successful.  Keep your eye on the target as you work towards your goals.  You will drown if you are looking down instead of at the target.  Knowing your product and attracting people to it is part of working towards your goals.  If you understand the product and what it can achieve or perform, you won’t have to sell it.  You can meet a person’s needs or help a person and the product will sell itself.</p>
<p>If you have a product that aids an individual’s blood sugar to stay level with no side effects, and you teach them how to use it, you have a successful product because you have helped someone else.  You have invested in their need (sowing) and you both will reap the benefits (income for you, and better health for the customer).  You have to discover who wants or needs your products.  If you are trying to sell filtered water to a person who only drinks soda and beer, and could care less about water, you are wasting your time.  You may have an excellent product, but you’re talking to the wrong people about it.</p>
<p>This is exactly why you need to know your market.  You have to reach people who want and need the product.  Those individuals who are looking for answers to solve their problems will find them in your product.  Don’t waste your time with others who don’t care.  Knowing your market works into leading with value.  If you are helping someone fix their problem (they don’t like their tap water) by giving them quality water, you are leading with value.  You are investing in them, into their need, so you are leading with value.  It’s a relationship.  In talking care of their needs, yours will be met.</p>
<p>If you do all the above, you never need to sell.  You only have to teach about your product.  This is because people who are proactive and solve problems will naturally want to use your product to make their lives better.  So then again, you know your market.  So, if you know your product, and you know your market is made up of individuals who are proactive problem solvers, you will naturally lead with value.  As you lead with value by teaching, not selling, you have made the whole process a complete success.  Don’t try to teach someone who doesn’t want to learn!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The goods or services you are marketing in your MLM company will make you or break you.  It is important to have a product that is not too highly priced in comparison to similar products.  If you have a new item that no one else has, that is the ideal.  But, since this isn’t always possible, find the value or quality in the product you do have.  Attract people to these aspects and why they need the service or good you are offering.</p>
<p>For instance, if you are selling a specialized herb for women, focus on the functions it performs.  Talk about how it causes no side effects, and how it can keep the woman’s reproductive system functioning optimally so she won’t have future problems.  Choice of product is vitally important.  How much training you have, or lack of training, will also make or break your MLM business.  You may have extensive knowledge of your products and know every detail about them.  You may have read books, listened to tapes, and watched videos on MLM.  All of this understanding is great, but just one part of the overall picture.</p>
<p>Knowledge won’t make you money!  Understanding how to apply everything you know is the key.  Actually if you think about it, this works in all areas of life.  Many people soak up information like a sponge but fail when it comes to applying it in the areas they need to.  Learn how to apply your training so your MLM enterprise will be a success! The old ways of using family and friends to build your business do not work either.  This has been tested and has failed miserably.</p>
<p>About the only thing trying to recruit family and friends to your MLM does, is isolate you from them!  Instead of success, you will experience rejection.  You are chasing and it doesn’t work.  What you want to achieve is to be chased.  Lastly, you do want to use online marketing systems.  All of the exposure you will gain will result in profit for your business.  It is probably the area that will give you the most exposure with the least effort.  If you are trying to do things the older ways without the internet, you will fall way behind your competitors.  Finding ways to attract those who are already interested in your goods or services is the least way to struggle in your MLM.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing you will definitely see if you are browsing the internet about MLM is the declarations that there are magical formulas for making your MLM business work.  I would say there may be some fairly successful methods that usually do work, but is there any one magic formula?  Not really.  It’s like anything else in life that you want.  You will get out of something what you put into it.  If you want something to die, don’t feed it.  If you want something to thrive, feed it, nurture it, and invest time in it.  It’s the law of sowing and reaping.  If you don’t sow, you can’t reap.</p>
<p>All businesses take effort!  You can’t just sit back and do nothing.  It is true there are some things you have to do first to achieve the results you want later.  Sometimes then it may feel like you are doing nothing.  But that is in the reaping stage.  You have already put in the hard work that leads to the harvest.  The effort you put into learning about your products in turn leads into applying the knowledge.  As you apply the knowledge to your target market and lead with value, you will be successful.</p>
<p>As you contact leads, remember who you should invest your time in.  If you have a lead, get a feel right away about the individual’s need.  If you can meet that need with your service or product, you are investing in you contact lead.  That investment, in turn, will reap in benefits for you and the individual who wants a particular area or problem solved with your product or service.  If you have a lead that comes up a dead end, forget it and go on.  You can’t teach or help someone who doesn’t want it.</p>
<p>As you practice this process over and over, you will become more adept at leading with value.  When you know your product or service, and know how to help someone who has a desire or need, you are leading or teaching.  You are not selling.  You are investing in a relationship.  You are sowing into someone’s life by helping them.  That’s why all of these principals work entirely different than selling.  It’s why chasing after something doesn’t work and attracting something does work.  It’s the difference between the hunter and the hunted.  And, it results in great rewards in the end.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the law of attraction, not everyone attracts the same people, friends, or acquaintances.  The same principal is at work in your MLM business.  Not all marketing strategies work the same for everyone.  If at first you don’t succeed, then try again.  You have to find what works for you, and then stick with it.  When you do find something that achieves results for you, continue to work at it.  Then you will get out of it what you put into it.  There are many successful strategies to use.</p>
<p>Attraction marketing may work well for you in MLM.  As a marketing strategy, you can use it offline or online.  For online methods, you need to have a website or blog that someone can access.  That someone has to have a need or desire.  For instance, they take their need and do an internet search.  You just happen to have the products or services they need to solve their individual problem.  Then, you educate them about how they can best use the product or service to solve their problem.  You will be leading with value.  That’s the basic process of attraction marketing in a nutshell.</p>
<p>There are many marketing strategies out there.  Articles, video, social networking sites, and pay-per-click are a few of them.  You can use all of these on the internet and some are exclusively for the internet.  For instance, PPC (or Google’s AdWorks) is a pay-per-click service you can enroll in.  You only pay when someone clicks on your ad.  When a user browses with Google and puts in keywords or phrases, search results come up.  To the right of the search results are ads.  When someone clicks on your ad, it will lead them straight to your business because they are already interested in your services or products.</p>
<p>Using social networking sites provide another popular MLM marketing method.  This may expose someone to your business who may not be searching for a product.  They may be an old acquaintance from high school or a friend.  Since there is already some level of attraction at work, they may become further interested in your services or products.  The different marketing strategies are just various ways to reach more people and expand your leads.  If you sponsor them, your leads become your down line.  So, try one or try them all.  Find which ones work for you.  Maybe even come up with some new ones!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before the advent of the World Wide Web, advertising and marketing were limited to newspaper, radio, and television.  They each have advantages and disadvantages.  Television is the most expensive of the three, but the most effective.  This is because it combines sound, print, and animation, while newspaper only provides print, and radio, sound.  Now, consider the internet.  The web is a wonderful mix of all three advertising mediums.  It is a multimedia medium!  It combines the best of print, sound, and animation, and allows the user to be directly involved with a click of the mouse!  The advantages of using the internet for online marketing systems are obvious.  Coverage is not limited to any location.  It is international.</p>
<p>Attraction marketing is not a novel thing.  Mankind has done it since the beginning of time.  People do it every day without realizing it.  Understanding attraction marketing and applying it are vital to making your MLM work.  In the same way as you attract particular people, friends, and acquaintances to yourself, you will attract those to your business.  The key is that they will be drawn, engaged, or otherwise enticed by something that your industry provides.  This is not the same as selling.  Not everyone attracts the same people, and it is the same with your business.</p>
<p>So, you will need to get people’s attention who are searching for a particular thing, then give them a motive to want to buy or work with you.  This is generally achieved by taking your MLM business online with exposure and using content driven marketing.  This means that you will continue to hold existing customers while engaging future customers.  As in all initial attractions, you then want to build your relationship.  As you build trust, you will naturally do this.  And, the advantages far outweigh selling!  List yourself in an online business directory under the category of your goods or services.  Use social networking sites and renew your site if needed.</p>
<p>Learn qualities of leaders.  Learn your leadership styles and strengths.  Then brand yourself by leading.  You will gain followers, especially when you lead by example.  It works just like the golden rule.  If you help your customer or client to be successful, then you will be successful.  If you help an individual find a product or method that helps them, they will prosper and you will be leading with value.  You are cultivating seed into the lives of those who are following you by valuing them, and you will both reap the benefits.  Eventually, the customers will identify you with your business brand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens when you try to sell something?  Have you ever noticed the examples in the world all around us of selling?  Whether it is a product, an idea, a religion, or even themselves, people rise or fall according to how they sell.  Maybe that is why selling is so unsuccessful.  To sell something, you have to pursue, chase, or otherwise convince someone that they need what you have.  But what if they don’t want it?  Do you then proceed to argue with them?  Usually that just convinces them to stay away from you for good.  It doesn’t work!</p>
<p>That’s why people who want to be successful leaders need to learn how to teach, not sell.  As you endeavor to build your MLM business and build your relationship with your customers and down line distributors, lead by example.  You do this by following a very old rule.  It’s called the Golden Rule.  To paraphrase it for your MLM business, never do something (in your business) that you wouldn’t want or expect your down line to do.  To put it proactively, always do what you would want your down line or followers to do.  Another old saying, “actions speak louder than words” also applies here.</p>
<p>As you lead by example, making sure your down line sees you talking and acting and doing like you would want them do, you are being a quality leader.  If you are leading with your good example, your followers will see this and replicate it.  This will translate into success for you.  This also follows the law of sowing and reaping.  You will get out of something what you put into it.  As you lead by example you are leading with value.  This is all teaching, not selling.  Can you see the difference?  It is the law of attraction.  Correctly teaching attracts.  Selling repels!</p>
<p>An effective leader will also teach and lead by example by keeping the distributors informed.  Always advise distributors of anything you would want to be notified of.  Steer your distributors by helping them to assist their customers.  Know your product.  Help your distributors know the product.  Plant and keep planting into your down line and you will grow as they grow.  It is a continual process.  You couldn’t do it without your followers, so value them and remember that.  You are all part of the process of success when you teach in your MLM business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you value your family?  Do you have good relationships with them?  What about your friends?  Do you want to alienate any of them?  Of course you don’t.  You want to continue to have relationships with your family and friends that grow and thrive.  If you are in the MLM market, then you will want to remember this.  Don’t try the old method of trying to sell your MLM to your family and friends.  This is not a good strategy.</p>
<p>Peddling your MLM product to your family and friends is the best way not to get invited to the next summer picnic.  You will gain embarrassment and frustration by trying to involve your family and friends in your MLM.  It all works the same as the processes of teaching versus selling, or leading versus following, or being the hunter versus being the hunted.  What is it about the psychology of family and friend relationships that makes it so hard for MLM?   Well, probably because they know you too well, and they think you’re just going off on some flight of fanciful dreaming.</p>
<p>How many times have you had a family or friend say they’re going to do something, only to fail?  Many times we probably contribute to their failures by snickering behind their backs, making sarcastic remarks, and discouraging them.  Maybe we have seen them fail before and even believe it less the next time they try something else.  The same kind of thing happens with MLM because it seems like an unreal, get-rich-quick scheme.  Usually your friends and family will be the first to try to pull you back into reality.</p>
<p>The answer to all of this is, don’t peddle your MLM product and opportunity to your family and friends.  Just shut-up.  If you do anything, just let your good health be an example of what the products can do.  Let your lifestyle be the promotion of what the services offer.  If you wife was working when you started your MLM business, and now you can afford to let her stay home with the kids, don’t go out and announce it.  On the next family picnic or reunion, remark in passing to family and friends about the success.  Wait for them to notice.  As they see your success or health or changed lifestyle resulting from your MLM business, they will ask.  But you have to be patient.  Don’t worry.  It will be worth the wait!</p>
