Why List Building Is So Important To Your Internet & Network Marketing Success

email-list-building
2 Comments

If you really understand how top marketers in the internet network marketing industry work, you should know the importance of list building. However, many still don’t know the importance and yet refuse to accept this is one of the most important element to the online business success.

My friends ask me, “How you can create a product or join a program and earn money overnight?” I never share this publicly but when my friends ask me, I do share with them privately. The answer is “build your own list”. Do you think all the ads you see from the website about make money overnight are just scam? I don’t think so. I mean yes, they might be scam but why not stop for a while and think what if they are real and what they do to make it become real? I’m not a negative person. What I do is I go and find out their secret. Unfortunately, they have no secret and they just tell you openly they have build a huge list and this make them success to earn money overnight.

Let’s take our Super Affiliate Marketer Ewen Chia as example. Many of us have opt in to get his free gifts, free ebooks, free information and yes, we are in his list. He provides great information to us via email and one day, when he creates a brand new product and recommend to you, saying that this is going to help you in your affiliate marketing success, I let you to do the calculation how many people in his list can’t wait to take the money out from the pocket and get his product.

This is why people can make good money overnight and they simply not scam. Simple math, you have 1000 in your list, 100 buy your product at $10, you earn $1000. You don’t even need to have degree to do the simple calculation. So, the secret is List Building.

In Network Marketing, unless you still doing offline marketing, otherwise list building is just so important for your online business success. Let me share with you a third party’s experience:

My Experience With Network Marketing List Building

I’ve been in and out of network marketing for several years and have made hundreds of mistakes. One thing I’m ashamed to admit, is that I’ve spent A LOT of money buying products that I never got much use out of.

I’ve taken the opportunity to learn from my mistakes. I wanted to know what it was about those products, and the way they were advertised, that made me want to buy them (knowing why you make the purchases you make, you can better apply this in your own attraction marketing).

There was one thing I noticed in common with almost all of my purchases. The people I had purchased from, had all done a good job of getting me onto their email list (or network marketing list if your focus is mlm). They did this even before they tried to sell me anything at all.

In fact, in almost every case, I had read these people’s emails, watched their videos and come to know them through their marketing messages.

They had provided a lot of value to me and my life with their tips and training. Therefore, it was only natural for me to trust them and buy their stuff (The fact that I didn’t benefit from the products is my fault). I have come to know firsthand the power that list building can have on one’s promotional efforts.

This sharing is taken from “How Network Marketing List Building Helps Internet Attraction Marketers Build a Long Term Business”. I recommend you read his full article and you will definitely gain knowledge from the reading.

If you want to know what strategy I use and teach my team members to build the list, just put your name and email to the form below. You will gain access to my Online Biz Strategy Training Center immediately.

So Many Make Money Online Programs, Which One To Join?

choosing the best
4 Comments

You are surrounding with many make money online programs everyday and you probably don’t know which one to join and all of them seems so real yet so scam!

I think I can really understand your feeling and your worry. Why? Because I also started from zero and learnt from scratch about Internet and Network Marketing. Recently I login to Clixsense which this is a program I joined since 2 years back when I was looking for make money online opportunity. Gosh! So many make money online programs there and I myself become skeptical when browsing those websites. Haaa…

If you are totally new in this make money online world, let me share with you some information that you should know. Some make money online websites invite you to join them because they are earning referral commission, which mean if you join them in the programs, they may earn affiliate commission. Give you a very real example, when you refer people to join Clixsense under you, you will earn more and faster than you yourself login everyday click and view the ads. So, what they do is, they create a “make money with Clixsense” website and invite you to join. Yes, you join free and so excited want to make money online with Clixsense. However, if you just login and click those ads everyday, you won’t get rich. This time, you may think that you get scam! The truth is, they are not scamming you, they are just doing marketing to earn affiliate commission. So, what you should do is to create a sales page to get lots of people join under your free Clixsense program. By this way, you then able to earn more and faster.

Another good example is Survey Online Programs. I joined those programs too and guess what, I didn’t get earning from there because I totally didn’t do any affiliate marketing. However, I have seen those who do affiliate marketing actively promote Survey Online Programs earn a lot of affiliate commission.

Normally affiliate commission is one time commission. Unless you choose to promote those programs that give you monthly recurring commission, otherwise you won’t earn residual income. You need to consistently put in effort to promote the products or programs to get the income you want.

Another good option to earn residual income is to do Network Marketing. Network Marketing normally refer to MLM (Multi Level Marketing). Oppss.. some people already start to feel uncomfortable when read the 3 letters – MLM.

Let’s take a pause and read what they say:

“I am often asked if Network Marketing is a Pyramid Scheme. My reply is that corporations really are pyramid schemes. A corporation has only one person at the top, generally the CEO, and everyone else below.” – Donald Trump, Entrepreneur and Author

“Network marketing gives people the opportunity, with very low risk and very low financial commitment, to build their own income-generating asset and acquire great wealth.” — Robert T. Kiyosaki, Entrepreneur and Author

“The future of network marketing is unlimited. There’s no end in sight. It will to continue to grow, because better people are getting into it. They are raising the entire standard of MLM to the point where soon, it will be one of the most respected business methods in the world.” — Brian Tracy, Author and Motivational Speaker

That’s the reasons why today I’m in Network Marketing. Internet marketing is good, but the combination is great! When there are so many Make Money Online Programs out there and confuse you, why not take a look at the Vemma business I’m in.

3 Comments

There are many debates going with this topic. This is a hot topic around town. The best method is the fastest way you can achieve your goals in business for a particular period. The network marketing method that works the best is a smarter choice. Therefore, the best method is the new school method of building your business using the Internet. In other words, it is faster using the internet to do marketing.

Here are some of the disadvantages of old school ways of building an MLM business

When a brand new product is launched, firstly they will be told to create a list of their warm market and then call everybody on that list. It includes try to convince your family and friends to join your network marketing business. Of course, you’re going to have weekly home parties or hotel opportunity meetings in order to meet potential customers. For example, you will have no quality time with your family once a product is launched.

After you go after your warm market list, they will then instruct you to go out buy some leads cold call those leads or go bug people at the mall and convince those people that they should take a look at a home based business opportunity that could change their lives. For example, they will be at the mall to look for potential customers and interested candidates to join them.

It could take you years and can cost you a big amount just to get potential customers. It is not easy to go out to find potential buyers and business builders. When attempting to develop a home based business, your core product or service must be something you truly have a passion about and believe in. It is to ensure that you can do it with all your heart.

Now here are some advantages to the new school ways of building your network marketing business by using the Internet…

Get your own page. Do your website as unique as possible to drive plenty of qualified traffic to your lead capture page. Let the prospect and qualify people opt in while you’re away at work or sleeping. The best part is no face to face rejection. Build a list of wild fans to develop a relationship with to recruit from whenever you feel like bringing on new team members. For example, you can attract people to see your capture page to understand the business better.

People search online when making decisions on starting a home business online and MLM is one of them. For example Jimmy, 35, actor, joins MLM Company for part-time income, ending up being broke. He is very angry and googles keywords related to “MLM scam”. He found an article about how Lucy, 42, property manager, is able to generate lots of money with network marketing business.

Either you have joined GDI or just looking for some information about GDI, the truth is, GDI is a low costs, no risk work from home internet business that suitable for all. I’ve actually written a detail review about GDI and I’m not going to repeat again here.

Today I just want to share with you on how to earn some extra money with GDI program. I highly suggest you join the weekly bonus contest. For every 5 paid affiliates you refer in one week period you’ll earn a U$100 cash bonus. Try to ask yourself the main reason to join GDI. If you just want to use their service (domain name, website builder, 10 email addresses) then is fine not joining the bonus contest. But if you really want to earn money through GDI, it makes sense to join the contest right?

One tip I can share with you is, you don’t really need to join the bonus contest when you first join the program. All you need to do is to take note of the weekly new members you have. If you are able to get 5 affiliates within a week, quickly join the contest so that to qualify the bonus.

I always get questions about what is GDI offers and what they can get from GDI. See, I totally understand that because when you pay money, you should get services or products from the company. Otherwise this is just a scam.

Since GDI is legitimate company, which means when you subscribe to them, you will get:

1) Your Own. WS (Website) Domain Name
2) Quick and Easy Website Builder

“Do I really need the above service?” Well, this is another good question that I get too. Let me share with you this, if you seriously want to have an online business, you need to have your very own domain name and website builder to build your own website. These are the important tools for online business. Without the tools how are you going to have success business online?

Why Attraction Marketing Is Important?

Still STRUGGLING in your Internet or Network marketing business? Then this is the most important post you must read on. Attraction Marketing separates the SUCCESSFUL from the STRUGGLING. You have to understand this, otherwise you will continue to STRUGGLE with your Internet or Network Marketing business.

Let’s put it in a simple way, Attraction Marketing attracts people to YOU and your Internet or Network Marketing business instead of chasing after them.

In traditional selling and what most sellers are doing is, advertise and emphasize on their products. They normally try to tell and convince people on how great their products are. The sellers also do cold call to find leads and see whether these people have urgent need to buy or have the financial means to buy whatever they are selling.

When the sellers find the leads, they will do some kind of presentation so that the prospect are convinced and buy the products. Of course some prospects are not and would throw objections at the seller.

So, in this case, who’s chasing who? Yes, it’s the seller chasing after people.

In fact, all of us don’t like being sold. We really don’t like it when people call us on the phone and pitch us on a product or service. I believe you don’t like it too right? And I guess majority of you have received phone calls from telemarketers trying to “sell” you their products and services. What is your response? ;)

However, people do love to buy. When we talk about shopping, this is the most popular pass times for people. Most people go to shopping malls weekends after weekends to satisfy their shopping cravings and nowadays people can easily shopping online for their favourite products or services.

cheap Amoxil justify;”>Now, how does this relate to you and your Internet or Network Marketing business?

This is actually the same concept. When you are in Internet or Network Marketing business, and what you are doing is to pitch your products or business opportunity to your family, friends or cold calling people, you are SELLING to them. Unless you are very good at selling, otherwise you will get lots of resistance and I can assure that you don’t like it too. Again, people don’t like being sold.

You can avoid all this SELLING by applying Attraction Marketing. In this case, prospects will be coming to you. You are the HUNTED instead of the HUNTER. They will try to find out more from you and start to contact you via phone, email etc.

How to apply Attraction Marketing? How to do that?

The answer is – By becoming a person of value!

People are looking for solutions. Therefore what you need to do is to increase your value to others in the marketplace. Provide solutions to their health problems, financial problems, parenting problems etc. You need to give your very best advices and solutions to their most pressing problems.

In order for you to become a person of value, you must increase your value through education and experience. When you become the expert in your prospects eyes, you will attract them to you rather than for you to chase after them.

Attraction marketing is the most natural and pleasurable way to grow your Internet and Network Marketing business.

FAQ – Multi Level Marketing and Pyramid Selling in Singapore

mlm
1 Comment

If you have questions about Multi Level Marketing (MLM) and Pyramid Selling in Singapore, this is some useful information you may take a look.

What is Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) and Pyramid Selling?

A Multi-Level Marketing or Pyramid Selling scheme will typically require participants to pay an upfront charge. In return, the participants are promised financial rewards for each additional participant recruited, as well as all new participants who are in turn brought in by their recruits – hence the pyramid-like structure.

As more salespersons are recruited, participants hope to recover their upfront charges and earn sizeable profits. However, such a pyramid schemes will eventually collapse when they run out of new recruits, resulting in those salespersons at the bottom of the pyramid losing all their upfront charges.

In the interest of consumer protection, the Government’s regulation effort is targeted at preventing the proliferation of such high-risk schemes.

How do I recognise a pyramid selling scheme?

Many pyramid schemes often disguise themselves as sellers collectors’ items, software, training programmes, etc, when all they are interested is to make a quick buck through recruitment. Members of the public who attend sales talks must be vigilant to such schemes. Illegitimate MLM schemes usually share the following characteristics:

* When the promoter hype about how easy it is to earn money, people can get very rich in a very short time and that the way to earn money is by recruiting others to join the scheme;
* The so-called product that you are supposed to sell is not something you would normally buy at its price;
* Participants are required to invest money into the scheme, whether in the form of a joining fee, or buying inventory.

Remember – there is no easy money, you must believe in what you are selling and you should not put your money at unnecessary risk.

How are MLM activities governed in Singapore?

MLM activities in Singapore are governed by the Multi-level Marketing and Pyramid Selling(Prohibition) Act. The Ministry of Trade and Industry administers the Act.

The original Multi-Level Marketing and Pyramid Selling (Prohibition) Act was first passed in 1973. In June 2000, Parliament approved an amendment to the Act to widen the definition of pyramid selling to catch all business schemes that were multi-level in nature.

However, as not all multi-level marketing techniques are undesirable, the Government concurrently enacted the Multi-Level Marketing and Pyramid Selling (Excluded Schemes and Arrangements) Order (hereafter, referred to as the ‘Exclusion Order’) to exclude legitimate businesses from the Act, such as insurance companies, master franchises, and direct selling companies which fulfill certain criteria. This Exclusion Order was implemented in June 2000.

My Top 5 Reasons to Use My Lead System Pro (MLSP)

mlsp
No Comments

You are reading this post mainly because you are looking for more information about My Lead System Pro (MLSP) or you want to find out more about MLSP system. Is this system working? Is the system so good or just scam? Or everyone who blog about it just want to make some commission?  If you really want to read some real experience, I would like to share with you my own experience of using this system.

I came across My Lead System Pro (MLSP) when I was doing research on how to effectively promote a program. Later I found that MLSP is a good program that has very compelling opt in page, customized emails follow up and multiple streams of affiliate programs. For myself, I don’t easily sign up a product or program. I would do lots of researches, read people’s reviews and if possible talk to the person who is using the system. The most important is to make sure this is the system that can work well with my program. Normally the final decision is still need to based on own judgement.

Before I go into more about why I think you should use this system if you are in network marketing, let me show you my results for the past one month.


One thing I want to emphasize is – they are all FREE leads. I understand that the first month is very important especially if want to show some results. However, I purposely not doing any advertisement or Pay per Click (PPC) just wanted to know how’s the free traffic and result is. And I actually hit my own target which is to get 100 free leads within one month.

There are 5 main reasons I use My Lead System Pro (MLSP) and why I think you should use My Lead System Pro too.

1.    They have very compelling opt in page
If you are not new in internet marketing, you should know that it is not easy to design or write a COMPELLING opt in page. This is important because if the page cannot attract the attention of visitors, you will lose the lead forever. And, you only have one chance.

For online marketers who really earn lots of money online, they really make sure the opt in page is working well and would spend tons of money to do split test etc.

If you are a newbie, then I assume that you don’t have the skill to write compelling opt in page. The fact is, MLSP actually has many different version of opt in page for you to choose from. You just need to choose the most appropriate theme and it solves your problem of create your own.

I have experience in creating own opt in page. However, the opt in result is not as good as MLSP. So, “compelling” is still the key.

2.    Customized series of follow up emails
If you still don’t know the power of “follow up”, then you probably didn’t make the kind of income from your online business yet. Follow up is very important, either phone calls follow up or email follow up.

Email follow up plays a big role as it helps to build relationship with your prospects. Again, schedule the follow up emails is not an easy task. You need to know how and what to say. Also, when is the best time to “call to action”. All the factors needed to take into consideration and MLSP actually takes good care of all.

3.    Multiple streams of income (more than 20 affiliate programs)
Good programs and products are recommended to your prospects and all of them are very useful and high value. Of course, if they get any of the recommendations, you earn the affiliate commission. So, which means you have income regardless they join your primary MLM business. It really solves the major 2 problems of network marketers which are LACK OF LEADS and LACK OF MONEY.

4.    Advance Internet Marketing Training Center
My Lead System Pro (MLSP) not only helps to solve the problems of network marketers. It actually solves the MAIN problem which is to provide internet marketing training to the members. Most system just lack of this training and I must tell you that the training in MLSP is very advance internet marketing.

One thing I must share you is, if you were to get an internet marketing course from other program or mentor, it simply costs you few hundred to few thousand dollars. And if you were to get from other sources, make sure you make a wise choice about the program or better get a good mentor who is really willing to share.

5.    Attraction marketing system
Yes, if you have read from other people’s review about MLSP, they will not forget to mention about attraction marketing. And MLSP is based on attraction marketing where the combination of all the above 4 points, it actually brand you as a leader in network marketing industry.

People follow people and network marketing is about human business. If you are able to give value and provide useful information, eventually you will attract people to follow you. Therefore, fully utilized the “attraction marketing” of MLSP system is a wise choice.

Anyone using MLSP system in Singapore and Malaysia?

Yes, I get to know lots of network marketers from Singapore and Malaysia who are using this system too. So far the feedback is very good and some of them are totally new in internet and network marketing industry. They are able to set up the first campaign within 3 weeks time just using their spare time after work.

So, it is your time to make your own decision. Only you know yourself better whether this system is good enough for you. What I can suggest is, evaluate the system and test by yourself. You have nothing to lose.
