Make money online September 2012

I started this blog because I wanted to share my experiences with making money online. Now I’m still sharing my experiences with you but something has changed. When I started I was convinced network marketing was one the most powerful ways to make serious money online and I still do. But I my journey I discovered more ways to make money but also I had to experience that I can lose money. Rolution turned out to be a scam and I lost my invested money. Recently I discovered JustBeenPaid, now Profitclicking. For a lot of people the hardest thing about network marketing but also the core business is finding new members to expand your business. With Profitclicking that not necessary. You can buy your positions, click the three ads a day and earn 2 % every day. No selling, no referring. MLM is powerfull but Profitclicking is way more powerful if you ask me. It’s never been this easy.

When I’ll continue my search for ways to make money online I’ll find more and more awesome ways to make money (on autopilot). I really hope I can write an article about how to become less bored because I’m really making money on the internet. There have been enough moments where I thought let’s quit this internet marketing thing. Until now I’ve learned a lot and I think this blog is becoming not only huge but It contains very interesting information. Like I predicted, it’s becoming a diary about making online money.

I’d like to thank everyone for reading the blog and I hope it helps you to make the right choices. I’ll continue writing about my experience. My next post will most definitely be about Profitclicking. I’ll hope it’ll be about the old JBP positions being reactivated.

NetworkMarketingNew.com

After building my first website with the Global Domains Website builder I started to learn more and more about building websites. I discovered that there’re a lot of things you should find out before building a website. For example you have to start with keyword research. Using the Google Keyword tool, we found out that that the following words are great to use because these words are used a lot by people who are looking for business opportunities. The following words are words we want NetworkMarketingNew to be on the first page: 

• Network marketing 
• Global Domains International
• Rolution 

Of course you can pick a lot of different words and even a lot more but to begin with this is what we’ll focus on. Both Rolution and Global Domains International are the names of the companies/offers that are on the website. Network marketing is the system both of these companies are based on and also these words are used very other so it can get a lot of visitors a month when the website is on the first page for that. Don’t wait any longer and go check out the website: http://www.networkmarketingnew.com

Home

People who are looking for information about these offers should find NetworkMarketingNew and of course the goal is to make them sign up. Therefor the homepage is a well written sales page witch has a ‘call to action’ so that people will sign up right away or look for more information on the website. I’ve also added a video, Twitter and Facebook like box on the homepage. This makes it look more ‘alive’ and it’s a great way to share information as well. 

Articles

The second page is the article page. Here people can find articles about ways to build their network marketing business. Over time I’ll write more articles about subject I come up with or about questions visitors ask me. I think people have a lot of the same questions so writing an article about the answer to those questions should be interesting and helpful to others. My goal is to inform people about building a network marketing business. It should be interesting for people to come and visit the website and also share the information on Twitter for example. 

How to start

The third page is about ‘How to start’ a network marketing business. This page contains a step by step guide about the steps you should take to get started fast with your business. I added this page because I think this is a question I think everyone has.

Global Domains International

The fourth page is about Global Domains International. This is the first offer on the website and therefor I think it’s very important to tell people all about it. Also I’ve added the income calculator so that people can get an impression of how much they can earn.

Rolution 

Just like Global Domains International, Rolution is another offer we present on the website. Therefor we have dedicated a page about how Rolution works, what you can earn with it and of course a sign up link. The page is also written as a sales page with a powerful ‘call to action’.

Forum

I’ve also added a forum to the website. Here people can share ideas on building a network marketing business and on promoting it. For example subjects like social media, internet marketing, email marketing or video marketing are thinks people can talk about on the forum. With NetworkMarketingNew.com we want to show people how how to build their own business but we don’t have all the answers and therefore we thought a forum would be a great feature so that people can help each other.

Contact

Last but not least a contact page is very important. When people use the contact from an email will be send to info@networkmarketingnew.com.

How to identify a Network marketing pitch

I have to say now that I’m talking to others about network marketing it’s starting to sound a lot like each other. When everybody uses the same one-liners and the same stories to talk about their network marketing product we are all destroying our businesses. Here are some of the things I hear a lot.

I was in dept and network marketing changed my life…

Come on, seriously. I’ve talked to maybe one hundred people who were in dept and they resolved all there problems with network marketing. How stupid do you think we are? This is probably the most heard emotional reason why people joined a network marketing company and also the dumbest. When people start talking to me and they bring up this story I interrupt them and say, wait a minute, cut the crap and cut to the point. Seriously, it’s insulting how dumb network marketers think people are.

I had no energy but when I started using this product my life changed…

Really, again a life changer?! Get out of here. Let’s face it aloe vera or whatever kind of supplement is ok but it’s not like we can’t live without it. Sometimes it sound like a magic drink or something but in reality it’s just one of the millions of other drinks out there. Stop telling people how magnificent something is, stop lying. It’s about making money not about the products. Again, how stupid do you thing we are?! Network marketing is about making money no more no less.

I’ve been doing this for years, I quit my job and I’m having a passive income now… 

No you’re not! You´re lying again! You´re working hard, real hard, extremely hard to build you MLM company. No one want´s to join your company because network marketing has a bad reputation and you´re experiencing now why it has such a bad reputation. You´re lying to sign new people to your business. What are you doing? Get a real job! Everybody wishes they’d have a passive income but no one succeeds. I mean ‘passive income’, what is that? Getting money without doing anything. You’re selling a lie. 

Come on people, we’re working hard but we have to stay true to ourselves and to others. Stop copying the stupid pitches you hear from you sponsor who’s already lying to you. Find out how to build your business for real. Share your experiences and let’s stop ruining network marketing any further.

Network marketing and Twitter

For those who are following this blog for some time now, we think the key to success with network marketing is to use the internet to let others who are interested in a MLM business opportunity find you. One of the things that you can use is Twitter. Every day we use social media and every athlete, actor, singer, politician, tv show and so on are on one or more social media. For now we want to explain to you how Twitter works and you can use it for your network marketing business.

What is Twitter?

You probably know the name and some of you may already have an account. Twitter is a kind of social media but it’s a little bit different from others. With Twitter you can send short massages, some call it mini blogging. When you Twitter about last night’s America’s next top model show other people who are looking for information about that can see you message. Also if you look for That way you can find people who might be interesting to follow. It’s also possible people will start following you because they think your interesting. This is different from Facebook where you can only see what your friends are doing and connecting to other, unknown people is a lot harder. Also the kind of information is different.

How to use Twitter for your network marketing business 

 Now you’re thinking, how can I use Twitter for my MLM business? Signing up and opening an account is the first thing you should do. When you create a username I’d recommend to go for a name with the words MLM or network marketing in it. That way people who are looking for people or information about network marketing will find you more easy. Just like every other website you have to fill out the registration form and you have to create a profile. In the profile you can put a link to you website, share photo’s, video’s and tell something about yourself. Then you start Tweeting about your experiences with network marketing. When you’re active on Twitter people will find you and start following you. You can also look for people to follow, often they follow you back.

It’s hard to express in numbers what Twitter really offers you and your business. Social media is very hot right now so I’d suggest that every company should be active on different kinds of social media, also you and your MLM business. Don’t wait, start today and discover what you can do with Twitter.

Network marketing vs Pyramid scheme

When I started with Global Domains International I receive the following question:

Is it a pyramid scheme? 

Now that I’m working with Rolution to I received the same question/response. I’ve looked into this and I found the following explanation. Network marketing is NOT a pyramid scheme because it has a product. GDI has the .ws domain name and the website builder and Rolution has the Vault and also the possibility to build a website. A pyramid scheme doesn’t have anything, you’re just asked to put in money and together you’ll find more people who are willing to do that. The problem is that when people decide to step out and take their share the pyramid collapses and a lot of people lose their money.

A pyramid scheme is illegal in a lot of countries. There’s no legit company behind it. With network marketing there is a legitimate company behind the product. You can contact the company by email and by phone and they are registered as a real, legitimate business. So before joining a network marketing company check if they are registered and check the company’s history.

I get this response a lot when I tell people about network marketing. For some reason one of the negative things about MLM is that people think it’s a pyramid scheme. Why? I don’t know but I hear it very often. Now that you know the difference you can explain to people right away that your Rolution or GDI business opportunity is not a pyramid scheme. Believe me, if you can’t tell them this right away, your story isn’t interesting anymore. 

The last thing I want to share about the way people think about network marketing is that for some reason it seems that there are more negative thoughts about it than positive. Of course this worries me. I’m thinking should I continue? It’s costing me a lot more to build my company now that I’m creating a professional website. On the other hand I only signed four people until now and those people aren’t really signing new members themselves. I often read that with network marketing the people on top earn a lot of money but people like you and me will have to work hard for almost nothing. I have to reasonable, will I be successful with MLM? I doubt it sometimes but on the other hand I really believe in the solution of combining MLM with internet marketing. My new website is on the way so let’s focus on SEO for now and not give up. I’m not going to lie about this, I have my doubts and this blog is for everyone who’s starting a network marketing business themselves so I want you to see this to. Your probably having the same thoughts so let’s be open about it.

My website’s price

Well, I’ve talked to my guys over at Invendy and they gave me a price for building a website in the niche I want. To develop the layout, put it in a Wordpress system, do the proper keyword research and providing the website with articles it would cost me a little under $ 1000,-. That a lot of money but to be honest I was prepared for twice as much. Now the question is will do it? When I started with network marketing I didn’t plan to invest these kinds of money. Actually GDI and Rolution offer you the opportunity to build a business and an income for just $ 10,- or $ 13,- a month. Now it’s not just that anymore.

On the other hand, how am I going to get customers and build my company without a proper website? I’m confused. I want this and I really think I’m on to something here but it’s starting to look like a serious business. If I wanted to invest this kind of money I would never go for a network marketing opportunity.

I asked them how long it would take for me to get to the first page for the keywords ‘Global Domains International’. They told me it was a very competitive niche but within six months it should be possible. Of course getting there wasn’t free as well.

To make a long story short, I asked them to make me an offer for building the website and getting it to the first page in Google for ‘Global Domains International’. They told me they we’re willing to help me with the SEO part and they didn’t necessarily want a profit out of it. Last night I received their offer. For $ 900,- they would build my website including the keyword research and articles and also a free SEO package came with it. I had a cup of coffee and thought about it and an hour ago I called them to say I agree with the price and they could start the process.

I’m excited but also I’m a bit worried/confused if I’m doing the right thing here. Now there’s a lot of money invested and I really want to see that back. Is this the way to become one of the big boys in network marketing? Am I doing the right thing here? Is this what makes the difference between success and failure in MLM? Who knows, for now I’m focusing on learning more about search engine optimization.

Looking for vs being found

The trend in network marketing is that you should look for people to join your business opportunity. that’s why people go and tell their story to people around them. Just like I signed my boyfriend and my brother in the first week. In a previous post I’ve asked the question: Who do you want in your downline? To be honest my boyfriend and my brother aren’t the ‘best’ members in my downline. They signed because I’ve convinced them GDI is great but until now they’re doing nothing. The people you want in your downline are the people like yourself. People who won’t give up, people who’ll work hard to build a network marketing business. Where do you find these people? A better question is: How can you make those people find you?

I think this is the power of using the internet to build you network marketing business. You can focus on being found instead of looking for the right people. Put your money, time and energy in building a great website and then making sure the website ends up on the first page in the search results. With proper keyword research you’ll end up on the first page for keywords that are relevant for your business opportunity. People who are actually looking for a MLM business opportunity will find you’re website and sign u with your company. These people are actually looking for opportunity themselves instead of you telling people about it who never asked for it.

This not only makes you invest in the right thing for network marketing success but you also get the right people in your downline. Everybody has the same target and you can learn a lot from each other. The core of why you should focus on being found online is that you can get hundreds of visitors per month and also the kind of customers you want in your business.

Who do you want in your downline?

After my research about pro’s and con’s of network marketing I kept think about why some people are successful with network marketing but also so many people quit. What’s the difference between success and failure. Will I be one of the people that will be successful or is this the beginning of me quitting as well?

While thinking about this I asked myself another question: Who do I want in my downline? The first answer that came to my mind was people who don’t quit. Then I thought about people who are successful with network marketing. I want to have people in my downline who can build their own business, they have to be creative, independent and most of all they have to achieve success and don’t quit. I can sign up one hundred people who quit after six months or five people who won’t quit until they also have found five people each that will be successful as well.

This tells me two things. First I can’t just tell everybody about my business opportunity and hope they’ll join. Telling my friends is ok but only if they are really interested. The thing about telling them and making sure they’ll sign before leaving is now officially over. The second thing is another question: Where do I find people that are willing to invest the same energy, time and maybe a little bit of money to build their business.

I thought about two things to answer this question. The first thing was Google Adwords. I thought I should advertise for domain registration and for business opportunities. That way I could reach people that were looking for business opportunities or who were looking to register a domain. I also thought about advertising for network marketing and MLM opportunities. I’ll start doing this next Monday and I’ll keep you posted about the effects.

Another thing is joining a forum about network marketing, global domains international or about business opportunities. Here I can learn a lot and maybe I can find people to join forces with. It feels good to have new things to try and to realize maybe I wasn’t on the right track yet. I’m excited and I’ll write about my experiences as soon as possible in my next post.

Pro’s and Con’s about network marketing

If been trying to find the answer to why network marketing is described fantastic and as a scam at the same time. I’ll write about the pro’s first and then I’ll write about the con’s as well. You decide what you think about network marketing after that.

Pro

Network marketing offers an opportunity for people to generate extra income or even a fulltime income. Actually there is now limit to what you can make with network marketing. Also you can work from home or even from another country. It offers the possibility to travel and see the world and still be able to earn money. That is of course if you become successful. 

You can make money by finding new members or customers to join the network marketing business. No matter if the product is about health or about having your own domain name, it’s all about expanding your business or network and earing money over the people that joined the business through you. The great thing is that you do not only earn money over the people you directly refer but also for people that join through others that you’ve already signed up. Global Domains International for example calls this the power of duplication. When you think about it and when you use the income calculator you can see that there is a lot of money to be made with MLM. The compensation plan of a lot of network marketing opportunities offer that possibility to make a lot of money.

Con

The great thing about making money with MLM is that when you manage to build a large business all those people will also try to build a large business and you will earn more and more money because of that. When those people are doing well you’re doing well to. But maybe that also one of the con’s about network marketing. If you succeed to build a big network, you can make a lot of money. But what if you don’t? What if you tried to expand your network but nobody seems to be willing to work with your business opportunity? Why do some people succeed and why do some people fail?

I’ve discovered the percentage of people that start with a network marketing opportunity and quit within six months. Are you ready to see how many people quit network marketing early? 95 % doesn’t make a single dollar and quit. It looks like building a business isn’t as easy as it seems.

Another thing I found was telling people you know about your business opportunity and when they aren’t interested you get frustrated. I totally recognize this problem. In the beginning you think people you know will sign up but then you discover they are all having a job or they just aren’t interested in the business opportunity you’re offering them. It’s terrible to discover that you’re frustrated and irritated to your own friend. When you discover that the people you thought you would sign up right away aren’t sign up you start to realize you’re running out of options to expand your business. 

I also have to say that at this moment I’m pro network marketing but what happens when I quit. I’ll maybe say network marketing is a scam because I didn’t succeed. I had a dream of being rich and I’d have all the freedom in the world but when that gets taken away from you your mad.

Looking at the pro’s and the con’s I have to say I can relate to both sides of the story. I’ve also read somewhere that “quiters don’t win and winners don’t quit”. When I quit my network marketing business already without really trying I definitely won’t make any money. I have to find a way to find people who are willing to build a MLM business just like me.

The silent treatment

We’ve talked for two hours, his heart rate was going 150 bpm and he’d call us the next day to tell us he wanted to sign up and he already knew five people to join his business. It sounds too good to be true and so it was. It’s been two weeks and we haven’t spoken to him ever since. For some reason people are finding it hard to disappoint us. Personally I’d have the decency to explain why I changed my mind but for others just giving you the silent treatment is a better solution.

I’m really wondering why people are so enthusiastic and when they leave something happens and they change their minds. Of course me and my brother discussed this. First we were like we shouldn’t let people leave without signing up but then we realized that we were forcing people to sign up that way. It would be like, ‘hey how are you doing, I have something for you’. When they walk into your door they will never leave without being signed to something they maybe never wanted. It’s frustrating that people are interested and then all of the sudden they change their mind but it is their decision.

What’s going wrong here? How can we prevent that people go from positive to negative so fast, even before trying to earn money with the network marketing business opportunity. A better question would be, what changes their mind? There is something to network marketing that people are finding scary. To be honest I was skeptical in the beginning as well. I thought it sounded great but I also thought it was too good to be true. When I took a closer look at some network marketing companies and also read some testimonials and some stories of well know network marketers I started to believe the power of a MLM business opportunity.

Unfortunately we didn’t hear/learn why our friends changed their minds so we have to find the answer to that question elsewhere. Just like I did some research about MLM and about different network marketing companies I’ll do some research for reasons why people quit MLM. I’ll be writing about my conclusions in the next post.

Doubt

We had mixed feelings after this experience. First we were disappointed that we spend almost an hour explaining to him how GDI works and it now looks like he didn’t understand a single part of what we had been saying. To be honest it was a little bit irritating to me. Second of all it was strange that he didn’t contact us at all and then texted us saying he didn’t what to join. The third thing was that he tried to find 5 people so that he could get his 5 in 7 bonus but he didn’t succeed and gave up already. Fourth disappointment was that he said he talked to a lot of people about GDI and they weren’t interested. How can he talk about GDI without signing up first and really knowing what GDI is all about? 

My brother and I know a lot of people who we consider a friend of mine as well as a friend of my brother. We discussed what we should do with those people when we should sign them. The first option is a competitive option. The one who contacts the person first and explains the business opportunity should get the customer. The second option is that we will sign people who we both consider as our friend in the downline of my brother. That way we would both earn money over that sing up. I thought the first option would motivate us but my brother thought of that as unfair so we went with the second option.

We’ve invited a friend who we thought, is interested in making money this way as well. He’s always in for a new opportunity and he likes to think outside of the box. Since I had more experience this far with telling about Global Domains International I started off with my little over ten minutes elevator pitch. This way my brother could learn for the next time he had to tell the story himself. It was a lot of information but he looked like he also understood he could make some money with it. The freedom of filling in your own time and being able to make as much money as you’d prefer seemed interesting to him.

 I noticed he kept talking about selling domain names directly to others and he was already thinking about who he could call to expand his business. I explained that the power of duplication is where the big money comes from but he kept talking about the people he knew and I started questioning if he saw the total picture. After 40 minutes we came to point where we asked him if he would sign with us. He was very enthusiastic but he said he wanted to think about it, talk to his girlfriend about it and also he would call some people to see if he could interest them already for his new network marketing business opportunity. He left and we haven’t heard from him since that day. Last night we’ve got a text massage that he didn’t know anyone who would like to buy a domain name so he didn’t want to sign up.

I think this experience teached us a lot. If we would do this meeting again I would say, are you in or not? Sign with us, give it a try for at least six months and if it doesn’t work out you quit but at least give it try before quitting. Also I would tell him to keep it to himself until he signs and really knows what GDI is all about. The last thing I learned is that I have to keep in mind that if somebody wants to join my business opportunity he or she is more than welcome. If he or she doesn’t, no matter the reason, I have to let it go. I was a little bit irritated about the fact he didn’t understand the business opportunity and he didn’t give it a try but I should let that go, especially because it’s my friend.

My second sign up!

My boyfriend is my second team member. I told him the story in ten minutes. Still that’s a little bit too long I think but I had hi attention all the way. He especially asked about how the system works. He was thinking about how everybody gets paid and how the company still makes a profit. I tried to explain it to him and I think I did a good job but to make it even more clear to him I showed him that part of the video where they explain that. He signed up after that. He had his own credit card. My brother didn’t have a credit card so I paid the first month for him using my own credit card. In the future he will paid with PayPal or he will get his own credit card.

My boyfriend didn’t ask a lot of questions, he was think about possibilities to build our GDI business. He wanted to call some friends right away but I convinced him to first study GDI before telling it to others.

After watching the video and talking to my brother as well my boyfriend came up with a good question. What if people want to sign to our business and we all know that person? Who’s going to get him or her in his downline. For that was a simple question. I would say sign the person to someone in my downline so that they are having the feeling they’re having success as well. After all, we all make money over the new member. That brought us to another idea, when I’ve found 5 members I stop signing new members directly to myself. Every new member will sign up through my downline. That way we are working as a team and everyone will feel successful.

I really think network marketing is teamwork. However I often hear and read stories about people who are just sitting back waiting for others to sign up and not supporting them at all. That’s what happened to me with FLP. After a while I quit because I didn’t know what to do and it wasn’t going the way I was hoping.

Now we’re going to find a third person for our organization. The next person is my best friend I think, she’s always interested in me so I think she wants to hear this.

My first sign up!

My first pitch went well, I have my first customer! Well it’s my brother so it wasn’t that hard. It took me more than 5 minutes to tell the story. I have to practice to be able to tell it fast and only the things that matter. There was a point in my story where my brother looked at me like, ‘this is a lot of information and I’m not following you right now’.

When I told him I had an opportunity to make money he was all ears. When I told him he could make his own hours, that there was no limit to what he could be making and that he didn’t have to work for all by his own in really had his attention. We talked about it for over two hours and we both realized that finding the first people can be hard. Especially finding the right people, people who are willing to work for it, just like you. But when you’ve found let’s say 5 people who are willing to achieve the same goal as you, you can start focusing on helping them. After that you can still help the new members but you can also focus on making sure the new members can train new members as well. There is a point when your MLM business growing even when you’re not doing anything. GDI calls it the power of duplication. Making money on autopilot is actually what happens then.

There was one question he asked me that I didn’t know the answer to and it was: network marketing, isn’t that a pyramid scheme? I told him it was not but I don’t know why he thought that. I’ll look up that question on the internet and I’ll write about in one of my next posts.

My next victim (I’m joking) is my boyfriend. I think he’s interested in making some extra money as well. I’ll try to keep my story short and come to the point as soon as possible. In the mean while I asked my brother to watch the GDI introduction video, discover his account and I asked him to make a list of things he thinks are possibilities to find new members, expand our business and actions that need to be made. It feels great o not having to work all by myself.

How to start?

Now that I’ve made my choice I can begin building my business but where should I begin? To be honest I really don’t know. I know you’d expect this post to be about me telling you what steps you should take but I don’t know yet. The first thing I’m going to do is tell some people around me, friends, family and other people I know about my network marketing business opportunity. I think I know some people that are interested in this kind of opportunity. On the other hand I also know people who will say I’m crazy and I should find a ‘real job’. I think everyone knows who to go to and who not to.

How to tell your story?

I’ve been ready a lot about GDI past week and I think I know a lot about it. Questions I had, I’ve found the answer to. For example I was wondering where the money was coming from but now I know. It’s important to be able to answer the questions people ask you when you tell about your amazing opportunity. If you don’t know the answer they could doubt the opportunity or your story. Also I think you should have some kind of an elevator pitch. For those who don’t know what an elevator pitch is, that’s a story in 30 seconds to a minute about you and your product or service. Business men use it a lot. You have to be able to convince someone that they should work with you and that you the best. I think to tell the necessary information about GDI you should be able to do that in 5 minutes. People don’t need to know everything right away, just tell them the most important things like:

1. What’s GDI
2. What’s in it for them
3. What do they get
4. How can they make money with it
5. When can they start
6. Tell them you will be on the same team

Maybe I’m forgetting something or maybe something in this list isn’t important but only time will tell. After every pitch I will evaluate how it went and what I can do better next time. Of course I will post about it on this blog.

Personally I prefer talking to one person at a time so that he or she listens to me and won’t be influenced by others. I’ve seen with FLP that when you have 5 people in a room and 4 are ready to sign up and one person is skeptical and negative about it, no one signs up. Mostly they say, I’ll wait and see how you’re doing and then I’ll join later (which means never). With GDI I’ll go with one on one. I’ll try to tell the story in 5 minutes or less, answer all questions someone has and then I’ll try to sign the person right away. My experience is that when people leave and say they’ll think about, the chance of signing becomes smaller.

My goal is to get 5 people in my team as soon as possible and then focus on them to find 5 people as well and so on. I’ll keep you posted.

I made my decision

I made my decision and I’m proud to tell you all about it. In previous post I’ve explained to you how and why I looked for a network marketing business. Well I did my research, and the proud winner is Global Domains International. Why? Most of all because of the product. It’s a domain name with also promotional materials for your business and a website builder so that even if you’re not an expert you can also build a website.

With Global Domains International you don’t have to purchase products yourself every month, you just pay for you hosting every month. I know that it’s almost the same but I prefer this over having to buy for example a health product to use every month. Didn’t get me wrong, I’m a very healthy person but when it comes to business let’s just all pay our monthly membership and focus on building our businesses.

Like I said before, I was looking for a company that offered something that I could spread online easily. What better to offer online than a domain name and a website builder. Not only can I reach out to people all over the world using the internet I can also build my own Global Domains International website which I can use as a platform to send people to who are interested. This will be the center of my campaign where people can´t find everything they need to know. The best thing is that they can also sign u with Global Domains International through a unique link that each member has. That way I can literally earn money while I´m a sleep.

I can keep typing all night because I´m so excited and I probably will so in a few days I will add a page that explains how Global Domains International or GDI works. If you think you would like to work with another company, go ahead. Personally I don´t think it really matters what kind of MLM company you choose, the goal is the same, expand your network and build your business and income. I think internet marketing is the answer to keep building your business, maybe I´m wrong, maybe I´m right. Let´s how it goes when I get started, just follow my blog and you´ll see what happens. Watch and learn. Do you have another idea? Please let me know, we can all learn from each other.

The foundation

I found several top ten’s and to twenty five’s online. A lot of companies are very popular but for me their product just isn’t suited for the way I want to market it. I also found some additional information on choosing the right company. I would like to add the following things to the list in my previous post:

1. Transparency: There have to be no secrets. Make sure you know everything about the company.
2. Global business: You should be able to get distributors worldwide.Costs: How much do you need to pay per month to be a member? 
3. Training and support: How to start with your new MLM company? Proper training and support will help you and your new members build a network marketing business.
4. I think I getting to a point where I’m going to decide with which company I’ll go. Using these standards I know that I’m looking for the following:

I need a company that’s been around for a long time and has a proven track record based on reviews and experiences from others who worked with the company already. The product has to be suited to be sold online and also worldwide. Therefor I don’t think I’ll go for a health product since those are often not allowed in all countries and also demonstrating the products can be hard when you don’t have direct contact. The product has to be something that can be used online. I don’t want to pay more than fifteen dollar per month to be a member of the company. And last but not least I really think proper training and support is very important. Not just for me but also for the people that will join my team.

Looking at my criteria I think I’ve found a company but I’ll post about it when I’m sure. I don’t want to make a precipitated decision. I hope you the information I’m giving you right now is useful. I personally think you have to think through every step you make to be able to build a successful business. The things you decide now will be the foundation for the rest of your MLM career.

Making the right choice

What to look for in choosing a network marketing business? Well, I think that’s personal. I’ve worked with FLP in the past and the products they’re selling are very good. A thing I was finding hard was to tell others about the amazing effects and how you almost can’t life without is. Let’s be honest, it are great products but humanity was doing very well without them. In my opinion the product is good but at the end of the day it’s all about making money. I’ve learned the supplements or other health product aren’t my thing with MLM.

There is another important standard for me in choosing the right business. I want to focus on online marketing so it would be great to have a product that is for example digital so that everyone around the world can use it online. That way building a website about the product is a great way to create some kind of a platform. For example the health products ask for the house party’s to explain how it works and to show the products. Personally I hate doing that by the way.

I did some research already and I’ve discovered that there are a lot of MLM companies. The compensation plans vary a little bit but it looks the same in most cases. I’ve compared ten well know companies for this.

Something I’m doing now is looking for reviews and other user experiences for the companies I’m interested in. Like I said before, there are a lot of positive articles about network marketing but also a lot of negative ones. Also the time that the business has been around is a factor that indicates the reliability of a company.

So let’s make a list, where do you need to look for when choosing the right network marketing business:

1. What kind of a product are they selling and are you able to sell it online?
2. What do you think about the product? / How do you feel about the product?
3. How is their compensation plan?
4. How long has the company been around?
5. What do people say about the company? (Look for reviews)

When you sum up the answer to these questions I think you can make a good decision. I will make a decision now as well. If you prefer another business then I will come up with in my next post, that’s just fine. I think it’s important that you go for the business you prefer the most based on you own standards. Promoting the product will be the same. In the next period I will try to post as much as possible about getting new prospects, building a website and most of all, making sure people around the world who are looking for a business opportunity just like can find you!

Online guide to success with network marketing

Hello and welcome to my blog about network marketing. Why network marketing? Years ago I’ve worked with Forever Living Products, this was the first MLM company I ever worked with. In the beginning I was more than enthusiastic about the company. Why I looked at the earning system behind it I really thought I could get rich! After six months I quit. Why? To be honest I didn’t know how to expand my company. In the beginning I told about the business opportunity to all my friends, family, my neighbors, friends from friends and even people I didn’t know. I was under the impression that all those people would react to my story just like I did but they didn’t. Instead of being just as enthusiastic about it as me they we’re all like it’s a scam, don’t believe it and must of all don’t bother us with it. I was surprised and sometimes I got a little irritated about it as well. Why wouldn’t anyone listen to my story without judging it right away. And why where they all so skeptical about network marketing?

I started searching the internet and I found a lot of stories of people that where very successful with MLM. I started to think that when I wanted to attract new members for my company I would also spread around positive stories about my business opportunity. I looked up some articles about the other side of network marketing and I discovered that there are just as much negative stories than there are positive stories. I found people that were having the same problems as me and after six months I gave up.

Years after my first experience with network marketing I was looking for ways to make money online. The thought of having a source of income that’s up and running twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and also worldwide is very interesting. In my search I found a lot of different possibilities. I’ve tried some of them but I found out that making a lot of money with it was hard because of the poor compensation plans. That’s when I thought about my network marketing experience years back. With the power over online marketing I could reach out to people all around the world. That would solve my problem I had before of not knowing who to tell about the opportunity anymore.

I realized that I needed help to build my MLM company. I didn’t have that with FLP and that was one of the reasons I quit. This is the reason I’m starting this blog. I want to share my way to becoming successful with network marketing with others so that they can build their own companies as well. At this time I don’t know what opportunities are out there so the first thing I will do is find a company to work with. Soon I’ll give you an update on my search of a good company. After that I will use online marketing to build my company. I will share all my experiences with you so that you can use this blog as a guide to build your own network marketing business.
