MLM is very attractive, however, because it sells hope and appears to be outside the mainstream of business as usual. MLM is also frequentlycalled network marketing, consumer direct marketing, or sellerassisted marketing and other terms continue to surface. MLM is essentially any business where payouts occur at two or more levels. MLM is all about nexus building and that is all a part of any business.
Products
You market Products through pseudo”Mini-Franchises” that when joined, contain the ability to distribute products to people. This is especially popular now with online ordering and Stores being created with a multitude of products. MLM companiesusually conduct more rigorous testing because public expectations of MLM productsare unusually high, and are usually subject to much broader guarantees or warrantiesthan other products. AdvertisingThe highest-leverageselling process, in which consumers are pulled toward the products/services and theirbenefits.
Success
Success is something that we all seek, and want for our lives, families, and future. Success is a focus to most in Network Marketing, who are seeking Wealth in MLM. Success is predicated upon you making decisions and taking action to lead toward success.
Income
“MLM industry claims of distributor income potential, its glorifieddescriptions of the “network’” business model, and itsprophecies of dominating product distribution have as much validityin business as UFO sightings do in the realm of science. The retailing activity is, in reality, only a pretext for theactual core business, which is enrolling investors in pyramidorganizations that promise exponential income growth. As in all pyramid schemes, the incomes of those distributorsat the top and the profits to the sponsoring corporations comefrom a continuous influx of new investors at the bottom. Itstrue products are not long distance phone services, vitamins,or skin creams, but the investment propositions for distributorshipswhich are deceptively portrayed with images of high income, lowtime requirements, small capital investments, and early success.
Downline
What you have done is create a Network of “Distribution Channels” for your Product( a downline) which you can receive “Brokerage Royalties’ or Overrides on that can be quite substantial. The possibility is always held out that you may become rich if not from your own efforts then from some unknown person (“the big fish”) who might join your “downline. Short of termination, downlines can be taken away arbitrarily. It’s a two tier residual affiliate program and it is obvious I want to build a downline and another income stream with it. You’ll see that they offer something to their downlines much more than just “How to Make Money”.

The health and wellness industry is one of the largest markets, but in order to make a profitable business, it is imperative to find your own niche, or specialized field. There are many fields to choose from in this wide and interesting market. There are even multiple forms of business models for you to choose from. You can have a simple website selling products and e-books, either your own or affiliate programs. Or you can have a cyber store, selling products, like vitamins and food supplements. You can offer a Q & A site or even offer a service like fitness or health consultation, however by far the most popular are the Network marketing and MLM programs.
Finding your niche:
The most important step when choosing a business in this field is to find a niche market. Finding a niche is not as hard as it sounds. As mentioned there are many markets within this large and growing Industry. Choose a few and then check out supply and demand. Whichever ones have a high demand and low supply will be your profitable niche market. You can use the overture search tool to estimate demand, (amount of searches), and look on Google for supply, (amount of web sites).
Tools you will need:
Autoresponder: In order to send mail to more than one person you will need an autoresponder. This will take care of your newsletter, and manage your subscriber list. It will also take care of your other lists like leads and customers. Mailers con be sent out with this valuable tool. There is usually a nominal monthly subscription fee.
Website: Your own website is important to the development of your business. To set this up you will need to build a theme content website. This is a website built around a special field. With your own website you will be able to build multiple streams of income all from one central website.
Newsletter: You should add a newsletter to capture visitors email addresses and gather leads and prospective customers for your opportunity and other products.
Multiple streams of income: Your next step will be to gather opportunities and products that are related to your market. You can start with an MLM business and add streams of income like products, e-books and services, which you can use affiliates to market.
At first start with one opportunity and try to work it for 3 months at least. As you develop your opportunity and start to make money you can then start another stream of income. Gradually you can build up until you have many streams of income in one market. After this you can expand into related markets and duplicate your successes.

As a successful entrepreneur your income is derived from doing one thing and one thing only – selling your products and/or business opportunity to others. How you do this successfully is by communicating with your customer and finding out what it is they want – not you – THEM.
Spending time with them and understanding how you can help them achieve achieve what they want. Shift the focus to them and present your business opportunity honestly and effectively if you want to build a successful career in internet marketing.
Get this ingrained in your brain and never forget it.
Communication is a two lane highway – it’s about articulating your message clearly and giving your full attention and focus to your prospect. By doing this you will hear what they want you to hear, instead of what you want to hear. If you accomplish this you are well on your way to becoming a leader and others will want to work with you.
During the process of communication it is easy to send mixed messages. When this happens and conversation is misinterpreted, a breakdown occurs and the result will be a missed opportunity to connect with your prospect. Both parties will be left feeling confused and disappointed and the opportunity will be gone for you both.
Think back to the time when the business opportunity was presented to you.
What made you decide to go with your sponsor?
Did he/she keep clear lines of communication open at all times and was he/she able to answer your questions in a friendly, competent and professional manner?
Did you feel confident that this person could guide and train you to achieve the same success as they had?
Did the conversation flow and could you ask everything about the business without feeling like you were taking up too much of their valuable time.
Did they direct you to more information?
Did they inspire you?
Did you feel excited when you finished the call?
If you can answer yes to all of the above, you are definitely in the right place at the right time and that moment can indeed be quite magical. This is the real art of communicating.
When you express yourself effectively you will attract the attention and respect of others. If you are able to speak your mind and listen openly to the views of others, you will notice a difference in the way others perceive you. If you are confident and project a friendly well informed image you will command respect and attention.

Once again I would like to start by thanking you for taking precious time out of your busy schedule to read this article. For entrepreneurs like you, you know that time is the most valuable commodity we humans posses. I will show you how you can take a few simple steps, apply a few simple techniques that will allow you to attract leads for your mlm or business opportunity. This article is meant to provide you with good valuable information and not any fill-in or fluff. I want you to be able to read it, apply it, and succeed from it. If possible please print this article so you can come back to it or you can visit my blog where I post all my articles, a link will be provided in my author bio. So let us begin.
I remember when I first started out in internet marketing. I was very excited to join my first home business venture! I spent hours upon hours navigating through my website, checking out my banners, and looking over the comp plan. I was so excited! This program practically sold itself, (so I thought). I followed all the instructions that came with the 30 marketing plan. And after 30 days guess how much money I made? Drum roll…. $0, nada, nothing. I was buying leads from the companies they told me to, placing banners on websites they told me to, exchanging traffic and nothing happened. I was pretty devastated. Not so excited. What the company didn’t mention was that good quality leads is what will make any business successful. They didn’t tell me how to build a list of followers that would read my newsletter. Heck, they didn’t tell me how to build a newsletter period. Anyway, long story short, I knew I needed to build a list that would plug into my marketing pipeline. I just didn’t really know how to do it effectively. What I found was nothing short of amazing. I learned a way to attract leads to me, instead of going out prospecting and chasing people. I will share with you exactly how to do just that.
First thing’s first. The first thing you absolutely need to do is become an expert in your field. Become knowledgeable in internet marketing or MLM marketing. Become an alpha male. Be a person who people want to follow. By being knowledgeable you become valuable. People are attracted to people who can guide them and teach them. If you can create value for people, people will be attracted to you.
Secondly, you need to market and pitch your knowledge instead of your product or service. Confused yet? Let me elaborate. When I was selling Real Estate I had a newsletter I would publish on a by-weekly basis. The information was pretty general. I published information on local Real Estate trends, market conditions, and home values. I provided good quality information which set me up as an expert. If one of the people receiving my newsletter thought about selling or buying Real Estate, guess who they would call? Do you think they would go through the phone book and play eeneie meenie miney moe? Or do you think they would call the Real Estate expert who would educate them on a by-weekly basis. If I was providing them with information and teaching them, and another Real Estate agent was sending them postcards about his company and asking for business, who do you think they would call? The same applies for any kind of business. If you can provide people with good quality information, they will come to you when they need your expertise. That’s when you get to educate them on your MLM or home business opportunity.
Thirdly, never ever pitch your opportunity upfront. Ever! Always offer a solution. If people want to find a business opportunity, offer them information on how to pick the right company. Educate them on what things to look for. Educate them on how they can succeed in internet marketing. Once they learn to like you and trust you, then you can educate them on your business opportunity or MLM.
There you go ladies and gentlemen. This is a very basic lesson on how you can attract leads to you instead of hunting people down. I wish I could provide more information but this being an article I must make it short. I hope you gained some valuable knowledge. Until next time, happy marketing!

Making money using online mlm opportunities is not hard if you follow these steps.
Select a marketing system that enables your downline members to also duplicate the system.
Select online mlm opportunities that have been around for at least 2 years. Make sure that they are paying their members on time.
Research the company online, see what other people are saying about the company. Take a look at a large number of opinions, there will be some bad and some good. You are looking for what the great majority of users opinions, are they good or bad.
Make sure that the product or service is of real value for the end user. Don’t get involved in money games, where there is no real product or service involved.
Follow the marketing system, take the marketing actions. Motivate your downline members to do the same. This step is of the highest importance.
If you don’t market the mlm, you will not build your income. You don’t get something for nothing in mlm or any other business.
Online mlm is not a get rich quick scheme that involves minimal work. It takes a lot of hard work in the initial stages before you create momentum in your downline.
Once you take massive marketing action and create momentum in your downline, you income will start to grow month after month.
Most people give up before this momentum takes effect. It’s like rolling a snow ball up a hill, once you have reached the top, it’s easy. The down hill journey of the snow ball does not require much effort from you.
As the snow ball rolls down the hill it starts to create more mass and also accelerates down the hill.
When you get started with online mlm, you might not have much of a marketing budget to make things happen quickly. You will need to learn to use free traffic generation tools to help you create a residual income that can provide for paid marketing services.
Your online mlm downline will start to grow slowly at first, just keep on using the free traffic methods. Keep on testing your marketing methods. Take massive action on the free methods that are working.
If you keep focused and take massive, consistent action, you will get there.

Article Marketing MLM is all about implementing a brilliant and sure fire traffic method to greatly increase you lead generation, social influence and visibility online. The under-lying concept that should over-rule all else is: Always provide Value! If you remember this one simple statement in all of your content creation you will see significant success with Article Marketing in MLM.
Here is a 7 step Blueprint guaranteed to generate leads and cashflow with Article Marketing MLM. Follow these steps exactly and you will spread your valuable content all over the web and interested and eager prospects will be thankful they found you.
1. Decide on your Keyword – Article Marketing in MLM requires carefully selected keywords. You will find yourself primarily going after what are called Long Tail Keywords which simply mean a longer variation of a popular keyword, generally 3+ words in length. Keyword research does not have to be a huge arduous task however. You can use Google’s free services to locate a keyword that is relevant to your audience has a good amount of traffic and not a lot of competition. This is what I like to call the “Sweet Spot” and will maximize the reach you can achieve.
2. Create a Killer Headline – After you have picked an appropriate keyword your headline is the part that you should spend the most time on. If you don’t invoke curiosity or poke an emotional cord in your potential reader they will NEVER click on your headline to see the rest of the article.
3. Create your Content – this is, of course, the main body of the article. always write your article as if you are having a conversation, you don’t have to worry about being an English Major or have perfect pros. Just write from the heart and as if your are speaking to a good friend. You can keep your article short infact 450 – 550 words is a really good length to shoot for. You will lose many potential readers if they happen across your article and realize it’s 3 pages long. Short and to the point wins the day. ( I shoot for 500 because some directories have a 500 word minimum.
4. Build a Killer Resource Box – the resource box is where you get to share your links and outside of the headline is the most important part of the process. Don’t skimp out here. What i like to do is act as if the resource box is a continuation of the actual article. I include 2 links, 1 to add link juice to the original article and the second to my lead capture page which is where the focus of the resource box will be. (That’s the click I want)
5. Post your Article – Post your article first in the place you would like to see on the first page of the search engines. I usually use my blog for this but sometimes I will use a specific article directory if I think it will have a better chance of getting to Google’s coveted page one.
6. Bookmark your Article with Onlywire – Onlywire is a social bookmarking service and I find if i submit my main or original article here immediately the search engines will pick it up and index it very quickly. Once the main article is indexed you can move on to turbo charge your results.
7. Spin and Mass Submit your Article – Here is where the rubber hits the road with Article Marketing MLM. Once you have created your original article it’s now time to syndicate your content all over the internet. A great way to do this is with an article submission tool. The one i use exclusively is called Automatic Article Submitter. Sometimes the ‘Internal Traffic’ from these directories can be quite significant not too mention all the traffic that comes from your article being republished. But the main purpose here is to build links that will lead back to your original article thus propelling it up the search engine rankings.
BONUS STEP
8. **Record a Video about your new article – (Advanced Article Marketing MLM) This is used to turbo charge your results. Remember the idea is to get your main, or original article as high up in the search engines as possible and videos are great for building links and link juice back to your original article or blog post. I recommend using a Video Submission Software like Content Buzz (much cheaper then Traffic Geyser) to increase your effectiveness here.

There has been a lot of talk and growth with the company FHTM Canada over the past 4 years. Many people have seen this company and have wondered if it is a good idea to align themselves with it or not. You will soon see the truth as to if FHTM Canada, a relatively new MLM company, is a good idea to join or not.
The Pluses
ONE: This MLM company is designed for its representatives to build a network. Most MLM companies have products that end up becoming the center focus for most of the reps. Since FHTM Canada is a marketing company, there really is no major product sale so the people that join the company really focus on building a network. Because of this focus on building a network, the reps end up selling more of the product and in turn make a good amount of money.
TWO: The compensation plan is designed so that the reps can recap their initial investment quickly. This is something that is huge in business. You want to get profitable as fast as you can. With FHTM Canada, you can literally do this in a day which makes this a very big advantage for creating long term success.
The Minuses
ONE: The major style of training that the reps get in FHTM Canada for building their business is a very outdated and old school method. The training is based on a system that does still work today but for a very small percentage of the people that join the business. Because of this, some of the people that get involved might have to look at other people outside of their leadership for other methods of training that they might need to create success.
TWO: There is a major down fall built right into the compensation plan. With the compensation plan that FHTM Canada uses, as you get promoted, you do not take your people with you. Meaning that every time you get a promotion, you will get paid more for the people that you recruit into the new code so most newer reps tend to lose some of the training that they need to create a successful business. Also the people that you recruited into your last code will not help you get your next promotion. So there is a built in discouragement to really work with the people in your lower codes.
So surly you can see that there are some very big advantages and some very big disadvantages to building a business with FHTM Canada. But no matter whether or not you join this MLM company or not, FHTM Canada will be moving forward with a force.

As a consultant in the MLM space, I’ve spent the last 8 years working, living, surrounded by, and promoting the network marketing industry. Currently, my primary offerings surround forex trading models, mobile ticketing, and on rare occasions, introductions to new network marketing companies.
I know some of the most effective and successful people in the industry and have had the good fortune to work with a number of them personally. Why is this important to you? I’ve built pay plans for companies, literally going through the exercise of white boarding details on product costs, company budgets, and shipping issues in the course of building the right pay plan for companies.
Let me breakdown some quick terms for you.
Binary Pay Plan.
Imagine a store with two sides or isles. There are customers on both sides of the isles and some of your sales come from one side of the store and some come from others.
Your compensation in binary plans are contingent upon either recruiting or sales in that particular “two-sided” store.
Unilevel
A unilevel plan is imagined best the following way. Your directly sponsored distributors are loaded into straight line that features unlimited width. You directly sponsored distributors are allowed and encouraged to do the same. Upon meeting certain qualifications surroundingrecruiting, sales, or team sales, you experience income overrides on varying levels of the straight lines built by your downline.
Matrix
A matrix is simply a Unilevel with “walls” or rules built around the width of its programmingrules. So instead of building to unlimited width like a unilevel, you’re building to the rules of the plan. I’ll share an example in a bit.
Hybrid
A hybrid plan is some combination of two or more plans. This occurs most often when a client comes to a software company and says, “I want the fast growth and cycling of a binary plan while still featuring long term wealth creation present in unilevel plans.”
Unilevels are typically chosen for companies with “autoship” requirements. I.E. the need to order a minimum of product or produce a minimum of team volume to remain qualified or get promoted.
Now that you have the basics, lets dive into the LGN 2 x 2 Forced Matrix.
A 2 x 2 plan built as a matrix means that after establishing your position or business center two additional centers are needed below yours as the first step. Secondly, those two business centers end up with two business centers below them. A total of 7 business centers exist in the cycle. It’s “TWO WHO FOUND TWO” in a perfect world.
In my years of working in the industry with the likes of Hubert Humphrey, Jeff Miles, Scott Arvin, Doug Firebaugh, Larry Kozin, Phil Piccilo, and others, I’ve never seen a faster moving construct than LGN’s.
Let me explain why. The 2 x 2 with LGN fosters growth through a provision allowing or forcing re-entry into the plan. This is done through the delivery of creating high margin, high value, product delivery. Your ONE TIME fee of $299.00 allows entry into the LGN matrix. When 2 get 2 below you, or better said, when there are 6 business centers forced into your matrix by your upline’s activity, you cycle $777.00 whether you’ve sponsored anyone or not. Why is this important? Let’s put it this way, if you are somewhat of a go getter and average the 1.5 recruits that most people average in network marketing, your 1.5 recruits will do the same and within days, you’re still ahead about $450.00.
The LGN matrix doesn’t stop there. When you cycle, you are re-entered into the plan in a new 2 x 2 forced matrix having filled the next spot available in your upline’s matrix. You may actually trigger a new matrix for multiple people by your forced re-entry into the matrix.
If this is true for your upline or sponsor, the same will be true of you. Your willingness to introduce the program to others will have a direct correlation to how fast your matrix cycles.

How to use a no cost MLM business to extend your sales funnel, increase your profits and explode your recruiting to your primary company.
Most experienced network marketers don’t want to work with those new to MLM. They don’t want to spend time convincing a prospect that MLM is . When they get thlegitimate and above board.When someone asks is this a “pyramid” they right away start thinking-NEXT!
This can be a big mistake for two reasons.
1. Sure everyone is looking to bring leaders into their business but you really never know who that is going to be. Automatically excluding all inexperienced networkers shuts you off from many people who eventually may become big producers with the proper mentoring and education.
2. With so many people looking for business opportunities online now, you could miss out on a big part of the boom that MLM is undergoing.
What I recommend is to use a MLM business that is either free or nearly free to join as an extension of your sales funnel. In this way you are able to qualify leaders that you want to bring into your main MLM business. It gives beginners a no risk point of entry into your organization where you can mentor them on setting up an online business without the burden of a large autoship to support during their training period.
If the recruit is unable to achieve success in this feeder program environment, they are able to simply quit without suffering significant financial losses and you are able to avoid a large investment of your time. The program quickly sorts out those who truly want to work and learn to be successful.
The program I use as an entry to working directly with me in my organization doesn’t even actually require any “selling” since the program is free, but does allow the recruit to practice their networking and marketing skills in an environment of little sales resistance.
Some people will be content to only work within the feeder system while others will want to expand into other opportunities to elevate their earning potential as they develop their own downlines. This is perfectly fine as the feeder system should provide enough income potential to make it attractive as a stand- alone proposal.
Here is how it should operate. If you are using a good internet based lead generation system (and you should be), it will be funneling traffic that you generate through your marketing efforts and reducing it down to qualified leads. Many of these leads, while genuinely interested prospects, may not be ready to jump into your primary opportunity. However, it is very easy to recruit them into a free or nearly free program where you can mentor them and you can both determine if they are good candidates to proceed further into the MLM industry. Since you are somewhat limited in how many inexperienced people you can effectively work with on your front line at any given time in your primary business, this ensures that you only recruit people that are proven to be motivated and likely to succeed. They are either producers or people that have shown that they are willing to learn and put in the required time.
In my primary program a $179 per month autoship is required. Although the products are well worth the price and the representative receives tremendous value even if they never sponsor anyone, I still don’t like to sponsor someone and see them pay out money every month while they set up their systems and learn marketing techniques. With the feeder program, the recruit can be earning enough to pay for their entry into my primary opportunity making it into an essentially free program as well. Also, I only choose programs work hand in hand with the other programs I promote so that both programs actually enhance the others ability to function profitably.
This system creates “ultra qualified” leads, a large number of whom join my free opportunity without any contact from me. They are attracted to the no cost entry as well as the lack of any purchase requirement thereafter. There is literally nothing to lose.
However, it is imperative that you make sure that your free to join MLM is a solid and legitimate opportunity that you can confidently promote. If your first recommendation to your new business partner is to join a questionable venture you will obviously ruin any chance of building a mutually beneficial long term relationship with quality people.
After all, that’s the whole purpose of the extended funnel, not to generate quick profit. To be successful in MLM everything you do needs to add value and be geared towards long term results.
By showing prospects a high quality risk free way to enter the MLM industry, you create trust that will reinforce your status as a leader whose advice can be relied upon. You will also find alot of excellent long term business partners that you might have missed out on and substantially increase your income as well.
