Magnetic Sponsoring Video Bootcamp

I'm entering this post because I want to share something I think is an extremely valuable source for understanding the power of the "funded proposal" form of online marketing. If you are serious about learning about online marketing I highly encourage you to sign up for the free Magnetic Sponsoring Video Bootcamp.

Mike Dillard has a really down to earth way of explaining things that I relate to and hope you will too. I bought the $39.00 Magnetic Sponsoring Book and read it five or six times. It is an amazing education on the subject. I have chosen to work with the Pay It Forward 4 Profits system because I believe it offers a more complete way to accomplish my goals. That being said, I still highly encourage anyone who is serious about earning money online to study Mike Dillards stuff, starting with his free video bootcamp and newsletter. It is POWERFUL STUFF!!

I hope you enjoy!!

The Death of Network Marketing

Hi Again...

Jim here...

I just got an email about Ellie Drake's and Mike Filsaime's Free Report called - "The Death of Network Marketing"

I will admit, like you may also be feeling now, that I thought it was some hyped up offer to get me to buy something...

...Turns out I was wrong.

The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes that Network Marketing, as we know it, may be dying.

When I read this, I immediately thought of sharing it on my blog

The times are changing for us and it would be a shame for you or anyone to not read this report and fail like many will.

I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.

I recommend you take a break from whatever it is you are doing if you can and get access to this report now.

Consider your future success by going here now...

http://www.the-death-of-networkmarketing.com/?see-why=4051

Thanks,

Jim

PS - Mike and Ellie say it will only be available for a few days or so, so do not delay...

What Is Best Home Business Opportunity For You?

What Is Best Home Business Opportunity For You?

One of the biggest questions people have when looking for a home
business opportunity is whether they are all about equal or are
some superior to others. That question is hard to answer because
of the many variables involved. There are really two main
categories to be concerned about first. They are the legitimate
home businesses and the ones that are basically just out for
your money.

The internet, along with other forms of advertising often are
overwhelmed with home business opportunity offers. Usually it is
hard to determine initially which ones are legitimate. Sometimes
there are large upfront membership fees without much indication
of what benefits you will receive. Sometimes there are unusually
large product purchase and monthly reorder requirements in order
to qualify for bonus checks. A lack of personal contact info is
another red flag to be concerned about in looking at a home
business opportunity.

Once you have identified what you feel is a legitimate home
business opportunity, there are some variables that you can
control. As in any other business the more a person puts into
it, the greater return can be expected. In other words, the more
you work, the greater return on your investment. Your ability to
succeed is also affected by the type of service or product you
are working with.

For example, a business selling snow cones probably won't do as
well in Alaska as it would in Florida. Any product being sold
must have a local market. Also, a truly good home business
opportunity will generally have consumable products, meaning
products that people will buy again when they run out. Selling
burial plots for instance, may make a few sales, but repeat
customers would be quite unusual and expecting residual income
would be foolish.

Additionally, many companies price their products high enough to
pay a piece of the commission on any sales to multiple layers of
distributors. Be careful here because the result can be a
product that is overpriced or of inferior quality.

In searching for the best home business opportunity for you it
is necessary to consider these factors: your location, the
market and repeat market for the product, and its price relative
to its competition. Look at the demographics to determine if
there is enough demand and the level of your competition. Once
you have done your research and joined a company, it is your
work ethic that will be the biggest factor in determining your
level of success.

Advantages of Online Home Business Over On-Site Business

There are definite differences between an online business and
on-site (real-world) business, despite their similarities. This
is due to the fact that the communities where they each grow are
not the same, which suggests that, the nature, usefulness, and
function relies primarily on the environment in which it was
developed and constructed. Because of the differences in these
communities, the businesses within each will have distinct
advantages over businesses in the other communities.

Minimal overhead is one of the biggest advantages of an online
home business. Land tax and expenses associated with
electricity, heating, and other utilities necessary to maintain
a physical location (such as a plant, store or factory)
virtually do not exist when a business is located entirely in
cyberspace. Only things like monthly hosting fees, business
taxes, and electrical bills are to be expected, aside from
merchandising and advertising expenses. Therefore, overhead is
minimized and more funds are available for the business itself.

Another big advantage an online home business have over on-site
business is the fact that they need much less operating space.
An online store consists of multiple pages covering business
mission, disclaimer, registration, order interactives, product
presentations, and even forums for technical support where
replies are posted for all to see, (in this way, other’s
contributions add additional insight for the benefit of all).
Because the entire business is online, shoppers need only get on
their computers, do a search and enter certain keywords or a
specific web address and conveniently do their shopping anytime,
day or night without ever leaving home.

This brings up yet another advantage of online businesses:
inquiries into services or product orders can be made instantly
through the integration of interactive software. If queries are
made, support can sometimes be almost instantaneous. Order
receipts are sent immediately to personal email accounts and can
be stored away. This makes the entire process quick convenient,
and easy to accomplish.

Last, but not least, online businesses are accessible world
wide, ensuring that business dealings can be carried out on a
daily basis while on-site businesses are limited to local and
regional areas. People in Europe and Asia, for instance, can
shop the product line of a single American mother of three who
is operating her venture from her small home somewhere in
central U.S.A. With online businesses, the service and clientele
possibilities are virtually endless.

The internet network is simultaneously a compact and sprawling
environment where millions do business all day and night every
day and night. Virtually any business will find ongoing
expansion and growth here because of the sheer numbers of
participants.
