Is Network Marketing for You?

There are no perfect or right type of people for network marketing. There's a common myth that network marketing is all about selling, so many people who don't see themselves as "salespeople" shy away from it. The truth is, most of the people who are a huge success in network marketing aren't sales types, and tend to be more introverted. I'm a good example, since I built my business almost entirely through the internet. I've done only a handful of personal presentations, and I hate selling people things. In my travels and my interviews of top network marketing income earners, I find that most of them hate selling. They build their business by listening for people's needs and wants, and then providing an answer. I ask questions to uncover problems.

People aren't looking for products, services--or even business opportunities; they're looking for solutions to life's problems. Now, I can't solve them all with network marketing, but for many I can. So, I'm not in a sales business; rather, I'm in a problem-solving and dream-building business.

In fact, the biggest reasons why people are flocking to network marketing are time leverage, residual income, and tax benefits. Network marketing is one of the few businesses that doesn't require employees, yet enables the owner to leverage his or her time by building a network of independent businesspeople. This network, which purchases and sells products or services, generates a residual income for the owner. Unlike the income earned at a job, which stops when the work stops, residual income continues on long after the work is completed. As exciting as leverage and residual income are, boomers love the tax benefits of network marketing. Tax expert Sanford Botkin says that a network marketing home business can result in tax savings of $3,000 to $9,000 per year.

The final reason why so many people of all ages are interested in network marketing is the internet. Success requires a business owner to build a large network of people who buy and sell products/services and recruit others who'll do the same. The internet now enables network marketers to build national and international businesses from the comfort of their home. No more early-morning alarms and high-stress commutes; all the work can be done from a bedroom with a computer and telephone.

Thanks to the internet, people can now work from the comfort of their home, and within a few months to a few years, build a large international business. The income from this business will secure their financial future and provide more free time to truly enjoy life. The best part is that anyone can do it.

In the movie The Graduate, a young Dustin Hoffman was told that the future was in plastics. I'm here to tell you that the future is in network marketing, and that future is now.

Why the Interest in Network Marketing?

The main reason so many people are entering network marketing is that it fits the current marketing trends. If you haven't figured it out by now, the baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) are in control. Seventy-six million strong in the United States, and over a billion worldwide, the boomers have dictated what's hot, from baby food to fast food to minivans to SUVs. Now the boomers are looking for products that'll help them look and feel younger, and for ways to secure their financial future and enjoy more time freedom. Network marketing offers the answers.

Tired of the corporate rat race, many people are starting home businesses in record numbers. CNN reported that a new homebased business is started in the United States every 11 seconds. The home-business boom is the next big trend, and network marketing is one of the hottest home businesses available. It offers low start-up investment and monthly overhead, and entrepreneurs can start part-time, while still employed, and build the business to replace their current job income. Age, gender and race aren't barriers in network marketing; in fact, well over half of the success stories are women.

WHO RECOMMENDS NETWORK MARKETING (MLM)?

Fortune magazine called direct selling (of which network marketing is the largest segment) "the best kept secret in the business world." It has experienced 91-percent growth in the last 10 years with annual sales in excess of $30 billion in the United States, and $100 billion worldwide.  Financial experts say it's a "recession proof" industry

For example, our business mentors spent about 20 weeks researching and interviewing the top 100 home business companies in order to find the Best one to team up with!  It's that kind of research and credibility that helps us to feel especially confident with our company!

Look before you Click!

Contact Information:

The Online Opportunity or Home Based Business that you are looking at should provide contact information such as a customer service phone number, email and physical address.  It should exist somewhere in real life.  If it appears that this information is being dodged or avoided on the company's homepage, take that as a red-flag.  When you have located the contact info, be sure to take advantage of that and speak to a real company representative to get a better feel for the company, mission-statement etc...

Another smart thing to do to get a better feel for the company is to contact current current members of the company.  Ask them their honest opinion of the company, compensation plan etc.  Have they made money?  Are they happy with the customer service and training they have received?  Look for members or affiliates who have had at least a year or more with the company to get a better idea for the long-term expectancy.

Hyped-up Claims/Vague Explanations:

Something else to watch out for with a prospective opportunity, is the tendency to exaggerate claims for potential earnings or even make guarantees as to what you will make and how well you will do.  No company can ever know for sure how well you will do or how much money you will make, so please watch out for specific guarantees or extreme exaggerations of earnings!

Building Brand Visibility with Social Media: The Top 3 Ways to Use Social Media for Brand Marketing Online

Social Media has a huge power to connect you to virtually any market you want to reach, so if you use it correctly it can be an excellent method of building brand visibility!  But how do you go about using the various social media tools and social networking sites for brand marketing online?

If you really want to effectively build your brand online, then you have to have a plan in place to ensure that all of your online and social media marketing campaigns will work together to really enhance your online brand and the opinion that people will have of you and your business.

“Listening is one of the most important things a brand can do online. If your brand is just broadcasting its own agenda, it isn’t truly engaging in a conversation.” 

― Jeremy Goldman

The Following is a Free Social Media Marketing Plan for Building Brand Visibility:

Be Careful What You Say and Do on Social Media!

1-  Be Aware of How you Present Yourself: Remember that when it comes to building brand visibility and brand marketing online, everything that you do, say or post in the social media world will be a reflection on you and your business.  So be careful to conduct yourself in a positive and professional manner especially in the forums that are directly connected to you and your business.  When it comes to business and social media, there definitely needs to be a line between openness and transparency and TMI (or Too Much Information!).  Some things are just better kept to yourself!

 “Focus on how to BE social, not on how to do social.” -Jay Baer

Connect with Social Media Tools!

2-  Connecting Your Social Media Tools: Another big part of building brand visibility with social media is to be sure to interconnect your social media accounts to further enhance them all for both yourself and your audience.  Tie your blog into your Twitter and Facebook accounts so that when you make a post on your blog it will automatically be be posted onto your Facebook profile and/or Facebook Fan Pages(s) as well as tweeted onto your twitter account.  And vice versa, you can set up your twitter account so that every time you make a tweet, it will be shared onto your facebook!  This will really enhance your entire social media experience, improve your rankings in the search engines and help your audience to be able to find and connect with you on all of your social media locations.

• Another new Social Media Platform you can use to build your business is the fun Pinterest website which has an emphasis on using visually pleasing pictures to capture the attention of your target audience!  Go here to see more Pinterest marketing tips and ideas!

3-  Participate and Be Consistent: Another great way to enhance your brand marketing online with social media is to really participate on a regular basis.  When you decide to use social media for building brand visibility, you need to make a conscious effort to be present and connect with the audience and market that you want to be a part of.  "Like" fan pages that are of interest to you, comment on great topics, and answer any questions or comments that are posted on your fan pages and status updates.  Keep your focus and intent on building genuine and authentic connections and relationships with other human beings.  Remember, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you Care!"

• Be sure to follow the rules of etiquette when using Social Media to market and enhance your Online brand and reputation.  
• 
  

Above all, as you work on building brand visibility for your business, always keep in mind the impression that you may be giving to your target audience.  Your brand is really the reputation that you create through brand marketing online, so always be mindful of what you say and do especially through the connecting avenues of social media.  Promoting your brand in a positive way online will be your most rewarding strategy of building and enhancing a profitable and long-lasting business experience.

 “Social Media is about the people! Not about your business. Provide for the people and the people will provide for you.” -Matt Goulart

I saw the news that one of  Herbalife Ltd.’s largest independent distributors, Anthony Powell, has left the company to join Vemma and is exhorting his 16,000 distributors to join with him. Despite of what the success he has achieved in Herbalife as the first MLM company he joined, I really curious why he pick Vemma now? I am sure many of you who are working in this industry might have a same question as me.



 He said ” First of all, people first product second, people first business second……” . Anthony was drawn to Vemma because of Vemma’s commitment to putting people first. BK, the founder of Vemma has been network marketer since he was very young and nurtured so much about this industry since his father was in this industry.
