LocalAdLinks Is The Real Deal

LocalAdLinks has been in business since November 2008 and is fast taking the advertising and search engines by storm. It is helping to bring local customers to local businesses that use it and allowing them to stay in business and prosper. If you would like to know more about this company and how they are help folks grow their local businesses and also help people looking for another source of income make money please visit: LocaAdLink . This company went from number 2 million in the Alexa ratings to under 3 thousand and soon to break into the top 900.
Only one other company has come close to doing this very same this and that was a company that the experts said wouldn't last. That company is Google.

Now I know there's a some bad press out there about LocaladLink, but when a company rises this fast the competitors start worrying and the leaking of the "bad" things about the company start coming out. In reality this is good for LAL because a lot of the information is months old and one article fropm February stated LocalAdLinks would collapse in three months and Google would kick them of thier search engine. Well it's the end of May and LAL just signed another agreement with Google along with a partnership agreement with a company out of Singapore to bring this product into Asia. LAL is also opening up in Australia, and Hong Kong in July 2009 so you really have to look at the critics and ask if they really knew what they were talking about or were competitors of LAL just starting some fires that will eventually burn them? I suggest giving LAL a good close look, I think you will like what you see.

MLM The "Mustard Seed" of Businesses

If you are a Christian you are should be familiar with the; "Parable of the Mustard Seed". If not here's the verse, "

"The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."

- Matthew 13:31-32

If you are not Christian or of any other religious persuasion here's the botanical data for you, it is the smallest seed and grows into one of the biggest trees. (See pictures below)

As you can see some of the greatest things come in the smallest of packages. This is the same with MLM and network marketing, it doesn't cost much to join them, yet they can grow to one of the biggest business based on how "YOU" prepare the soil and tend to the tree you are trying to grow. In fact MLM and network marketing companies do just as well if not better in down economies, please read the article by Rod Cook on this subject. Mr Cook provides one of the best analysis of just how MLM and network marketing programs thrive in bad economic times like we are experiencing right now. Let’s face it, if Warren Buffett sees the benefits of owning 12 MLM companies and in the next ten years more millionaires will be created in MLM and network marketing why shouldn’t you plant your mustard seed there and watch it grow? If you are searching for your own mustard seed please drop me a comment and I will be glad to help you grow it into your mustard tree! Best wishes to your massive success in MLM!

Which Industry Will Create 10 Million Millionaires in the Next 10 Years?

I am sitting here laughing to myself after hearing from an uninformed expert as to how and network marketing aren't good businesses to be in and how they are just scams. Now a while back I would have been taken aback and just might have given his comments some credence. Well times have changed, but one constant hasn't and that's and network marketing have created more millionaires and given more people financial freedom than many, many other business opportunities that were available years ago and are creating even more now. In fact Paul Zane Pilzerin his 2006 book the "Next Millionaires" explains in detail why the 21st century will be known as the "age of the entrepreneur". he says; 10 MILLION MILLIONAIRES WILL BE CREATED THROUGH DIRECT SELLING and "HOME BUSINESSES"! Yes I shouted this last fact and will do so one more time just incase you didn't hear me; "he says; "10 MILLION MILLIONAIRES WILL BE CREATED THROUGH DIRECT SELLING and "HOME BUSINESSES"! Well if that doesn't convince people of the legitimacy of network marketing, then this fact might, Warren Buffet the famed billionaire turned heads on Wall Street in 2002 when he bought a network marketing company. Today he owns three and has said they were the best investments he has ever made. He must have really like these companies because in 2006 he bought not one, not two, not three more, he bought close to twelve more! This is why I laugh at people who criticize network marketing and companies. If Warren Buffet realizes what a great investment they are then why doesn't the common man or woman in the street? Ah ignorance is bliss, or maybe it will keep you from your dreams. Now if that doesn't get your attention then this might. Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump both have said; if they had to do it all over again they would have started network marketing companies instead of building traditional, old style businesses. So you see why I don't get fazed by these comments and neither should any other person in this business or even considering network marketing as a business. Let me leave you with one last thing to ponder. In America we have 300 million people, if network marketing will help to contribute to making 10 million people millionaires and has already created countless other millionaires already, where is the common persons best chances to become financially independent or even become a millionaire? My friends the choice is simple, I know I have chosen my new profession wisely, shouldn't you? If you would like more information please leave a comment with your email and I will reply to you. Best wishes to your success!

The Love Affair That Can Break Your Business

We all enjoy love stories, we all remember our first loves. There's nothing like being in love, the passion, the daydreaming, ah yes to be in love. We all agree there is nothing like being in love, but, not with your product if you want to survive in this business. Love has been the ruin of many a good business career for MLM'ers and network marketers. Early in my career I fell prey to it and it cost me dearly. It is very hard for newbies to understand this key element of the business. I remember an experienced friend telling me, "Greg you have a truly outstanding product and yet I have a mediocre product, but I will make more money than you." Being new I said, "no way, if my product is superior then you won't make more than I will, I'll bury you!" He laughed at me and of course I loved my product, it was heads and tails above his, and this guy was telling me he would out sell me! Not in his life time! Well there's a reason he's been an successful marketer for 20 plus years so I knew I needed to listen as I had gone down in flames on another super duper product recently. He pointed out that marketers don't care all too much about the product, yes it has to do what it says it will do and if it's outstanding that of course is a plus, but it doesn't have to be an earth shaker for you to be successful. The key to the ultimate success is the comp plan. Experienced marketers want to know, will it make me money and if they have a huge down line their folks want to know the same thing. Folks love is a beautiful thing, but when you are growing a business you have to be practical, especially if you are a full time network marketer or an MLM'er. When looking at a product to evaluate it for your next business ask two key questions; 1. Does the product do what it says it will do, and 2. Is the comp plan a good one that will make folks money. The key ingredient in the final analysis will always be,"show me the money." Now if the product is outstanding and it pays well then by all means have a long romance, but if it's great product but a dog in the comp plan break the relationship as soon as possible! Buy it for personal use if you love it, but remember love can be blind and in business you need both eyes wide open if you want to get to the top of the business. Love is a many splendid thing, just not in this business if you want to be successful.

Oh You Are Doing MLM?

Have you ever heard someone say this when you are presenting a product? Usually they say it with disdain in their voice like it's akin to street sweeping. The truth is these folks have no idea what MLM or network marketing is all about. What is funny is that you hear this from folks working two jobs or folks working minimum wage jobs, who by the way could use the extra cash network marketing and MLM's can provide. If a Fortune 500 company sent a recruiter to you and offered you a job is that any different than when we make a person an offer? Well the chances of a Fortune 500 company offering you a job is very, very slim and if you want to know the truth many folks in network marketing and MLM can and do make more money than folks in the Fortune 500 companies and guess what? We own our business and they don't. We want to go on vacation anytime we want and guess what they can't. Another thing we don't have to work the hours these folks do and out up with the garbage they do. We don't want to work one day we don't, they don't want to work one day and they can get fired, while we still get paid for the day we don't work. Network marketers and MLM'ers for the most part sell great products and in many ways the products are superior to the ones in the stores. We offer anyone with the motivation and the desire to succeed a chance at the good life. Where else can a person without a high school degree end-up making more money than a CEO of a company, or folks with advanced degrees? Ever wonder what a university professor makes? Let me tell you, it's not much, but you'll find that they are too smart to do network marketing or MLM and they of all people could use the money. Go figure that out! It just goes to prove the old saying...an education does not make your chances of being a millionaire better than the high school educated person. You might get the job you want with your high powered education, but let's be real, a four year degree will get you a job averaging 40k a year starting out. For some other degrees probably a lot more, but when you factor in the repaying of the student loans and other debts these hot shots aren't doing as well as they think they are. Network marketing and MLM offer anyone the chance to live their dreams, they are also a good secondary income for folks that want to work at their own pace. Network marketing and MLM is a good business, no it's not for everyone, but everyone has the opportunity to join one and the chance to make good money. Folks I had a great career prior to becoming a network marketer, I have a few degrees and am working on another one in something I love to study and now I can do that and still make a lot of money as a network marketer. Network marketing and MLM's can change peoples lives for the better and have done it time and time again. If you or anyone else thinks they are too good for network marketing and the MLM business, 9 times out of 10 they are the ones that could benefit the most! Me, I'll work with the real people and help them make a good living. It's more fun and rewarding seeing them drive the nice cars and live in the nice houses while the "TOO SMART" folks continue to work their 80 plus hours a week.

Recruiting Prospects Into Your Business

If you have been around the network marketing business for any length of time you know that you have to maintain a steady stream of prospects to your business. If you are strictly using the Internet to get your prospects or using it in combination with traditional techniques you'll find there are many different tools such as classified ads, capture pages, squeeze pages and landing pages or whatever the new systems are called that get you prospects to your door. I like the traditional methods for recruiting, but I have tried a number of them and found that many of them just do not work. It's not that I haven't made sure I used them correctly, I just found that many of them are just no good. If you need to use these (which as more and more people are using the Internet to make money so you need an edge) go with the ones that are proven. For me I have finally found that one that has given me the production I have been looking for and it is cheap. (I like free things so this had to be good for me to get it!) The Magnetic Sponsoring System works for me in fact within two days of getting this course I had started getting prospects. It is a well put together system by Mike Dillard and I have already paid for it with the prospects that turned into recruits. Give it a try, hey have a free seven video series that can give you a great insight on how to succeed in this arena. What have you got to lose if you don't have any prospects to begin with? You can only go up! Here's the link; Magnetic Sponsoring

MLM and Network Marketing are Pyramid Schemes!

Recently one of my associates was in the process of a business presentation for our network marketing program and the person they were presenting to replied, "network marketing is an pyramid scheme!" My associate froze and then completed the conversation and then spoke to me. I asked her, do you know what a pyramid scheme is? She said only that it is illegal, but that was all. I asked her do you think your prospect knows what it is? She said she didn't know. I replied that there's a 99.99% chance your prospect doesn't either.

Now this response from a prospect is not unusual, in fact it happens quite often because our news media when pyramid or ponzi schemes as in the news fails to properly describe what they are. The result is folks hear this and then when we do what we do they think we are doing the same thing. If we don't know what they are, how are we going to correct this misinterpretation? If we can't answer this question we lose the prospect because they think we are trying to lure them into an illegal activity. Nothing could be further from the truth! But the prospect doesn't know that. We then have the responsibility to educate the masses and assure them what we are doing is 100 percent legal. Here's a brief explanation of one of the 5 examples that the FTC cites to look for as a sign of a pyramid scheme; "Pyramid schemes advertise that they are in the "pre-launch" stage, yet they never can and never do launch. By definition pyramid schemes can never fulfill their obligations to a majority of their participants. To survive, pyramids need to keep and attract as many members as possible. Thus, promoters try to appeal to a sense of community or solidarity, while chastising outsiders or skeptics." For more information on this subject the FTC (click on FTC) has a great site dedicated to his subject. Here's how I would respond to a prospect or anyone else that throws this at you. My response is as follows. "No we are not a pyramid scheme, we have a viable product and our success is not solely based on recruiting people into this business. We can sell our products to health food stores and other entities that wish to present our product to the public." That's it, keep it simple and don't attempt to insult the prospect's intelligence because this is really an honest question thanks to the misrepresentation of what these schemes are to the public.

Network marketers have a tough job and the more we educate our associates the better prepared they are to answer questions like these. Remember, knowledge is power, once we harness that power the more successful we will be!
