by Trisha Frauenhofer

Have you been promoting your business online and your target market knows how to find you? Well this is a great start. You probably think you can coast now, but wait. There is a lot more to go on this. This is a two-way business. Yes, it is important that your niche market finds you, but you also have to contact them. There are programs out there such as the online traffic formula which covers how to communicate effectively.

Traditional businesses hand out cards and brochures that have your Web links on them so they can sign up for your online newsletter. This is a great strategy. You must however follow through with providing them quality content.

After you get your prospects information you can start promoting your services and products to them. Auto responders are perfect for this and are very strict about spamming. Your list of clients will love the free letters and product offers they will get every week. You can offer Free eBooks which are easy to make and will make your list subscribers gain trust in you.

You also want to make yourself seem as if you are an expert in the field. Write articles or hire someone to write them for you. These articles are not to sell the product, but to pre-sell. At the end of the article is your name and a link to your website. You can then submit these articles to different websites that it would be relevant to.

Speaking of websites, yours must be of good, relevant content. Don’t stray away from the subject of the product you are trying to sell. Keep your target market interested and don’t bore them with too much text.

Your website must have good, relevant content. Try to be focused on the product you’re selling so that your customers don’t get confused. You want to keep your customers interested and not bogged down with hype or jargon.

A great free method which should be part of your online traffic formula is using blogs and forums. These are excellent free methods of advertising your links. Be sure to seek these out with care for relevancy.

Green Premiums for Janitorial Business

by Michael Richmond

Most of us remember the “Orange Era.” It was a time when citric-based cleaning products were initially introduced to the market and it left a very stubborn belief that these products were overly expensive and did not work as well as conventional cleaning products. The “Green Era” has brought a new generation of very effective products that can replace conventional products. Better yet, the cost of “Going Green” with these products is estimated at about 2-4%. This can be offset by other realized benefits.

It is a slow process, but companies are starting to realize that there are other financial considerations to “Going Green.” These benefits are referred to as Green Premiums referring to other factors that offer more than a clean building. While we can still enjoy a clean building, the Green Premium refers to the health impact and costs that also hit the company’s expense list.

Instead of slowly aggravating the health of the employees, the Green program is designed to avoid harmful practices and introduce healthier alternatives. This new practice will alleviate acute and chronic illnesses, and that has a financial reward that can be a financial asset.

Absenteeism is always a cost factor because the employees make business (and revenue) happen for the company. Health costs may be a concern for the insurance company, but those costs are returned to the company’s bottom line through increased premiums. Part of the cost for health is paid in out-of-pocket expenses, but health costs are a big expense item to any business. It makes sense that a healthier workforce will lead to better health insurance rates.

While thinking about Green Premiums, consider the value of a more alert and productive workforce. We have all found ourselves in a situation where something triggers a headache, depressed feeling, or aggravation of a condition. It make by a powerful smell, second-hand smoke, or diesel exhaust. Your office can be filled with small detractors from worker productivity.

Consider the tax implications for sick people that exceed what you see in your company’s costs. The cost of caring for the sick and chronically ill person is also a burden to society. Even after these people are off our payroll, they continue to need medical care, and someone has top pay for that. There is also the concern for all the trash and waste we produce which must be handled by local, state, or federal governments. The invisible cost of all these things are seen in constantly increased taxes.

As we consider the Green Premium, it is realized in savings through healthy employees. Health insurance, health costs, and taxes are part of the overall equation that we pay in one form or another. Therefore, the 2-4% costs of moving to a Green workplace seems powerfully overwhelmed by the health and tax cost savings.

MLM Real Time Leads - What Makes Them So Good?

by Don Reid

Most poor misguided uplines tell their newly sponsored recruits to make up a list of 100 names. These names are apparently meant to come from your friends and family. I’ve done this little exercise and its really hard.

I think its tough because we all judge whether or not our friends and family will want to be in a MLM business or not. Will Aunty Mary really want to be an MLM superstar?

Well I finally built my list and with the help of my upline we soon got through contacting them all. Guess how many we sponsoredyeah you know it, none. It turned out Uncle Bill didn’t want to sell soap powder. My mother was the only one that showed some support by buying the product. To this day some of the people on that list are still wary that I’m about to spring a home business opportunity on them.

Modern network marketers know not to even bother going down that old dusty unproductive road. 21st century networkers use professionally generated leads and leave uncle Bob to his Sunday comics. Even to this day some of my relatives still shy away from me at family gatherings in fear I might want to rope them into some soapy business opp.

Since the explosion of the internet into our lives many professional lead generation sites have sprung up. This is because leads are a huge business these days. Absolutely millions of leads are being generated every month. You can buy professionally generated leads that come from the USA, Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. The choice is getting bigger all the time. So no matter where your business grows to, you should be able to get leads for it.

There are many different types of leads. The very best leads available are Real Time MLM Leads. The main reason for this is the lead is (usually) delivered to you the instant it is generated. Sometimes you can talk to the lead while they are still on the lead capture page! How cool is that? Obviously real time leads are super fresh. The advantage of this freshness is the lead will remember filling out the form and is probably eager to hear from you and ready to learn about your work at home business opportunity.

Most lead companies offer options with real time leads which can make them more effective and really laser targeted. For example, you may want people that can invest a certain level of funds into a new business. Or you may only wish to speak with people in your area code or state. These are only some of the options which can make using real time leads the most positive and productive leads you every buy.

Most lead companies provide a free backoffice to manage your real time leads. You can adjust how many leads you receive per day and usually even pause the campaign. So if you need to go away for the weekend, you are not wasting any leads. In summary, real time leads are best because they are very fresh, responsive, eager to hear from you and targetable.

Good investment strategies

by Zigfred Diaz

Months ago my Dad asked me to attend a multi-level marketing seminar which involves Voice Over Internet Protocol (V.O.I.P) products. He wanted to attend the seminar personally but he asked me to attend the seminar primarily for two reasons first, he just did not understand what the product is all about and second he had another meeting to attend. So I just attended the seminar in his behalf.

A very eloquent and well dressed american gave the presentation. He sounded very convincing. Without a doubt, the product was equally good as well. However, what interested me was the sales pitch he made when asked he people to join the company.

He said that if you are an entrepreneur and you wanted to get rich a good business strategy is to find something that would be the trend of the future and start developing it. If you are an investor then one of your investment strategies is to invest in companies that does this.

He further makes his point by stating that the Microsoft, a $ 200 Billion dollars company which happens to be one of the richest and one of the most successful company in the world, is one of the companies that employs this business strategy. Surely you would invest in Microsoft if they would knock on your door and ask you to invest in their company.

Let’s say we have the ability to time travel and go back to the year 1978. Several casually dress, long haired, hippie looking geeks asked for a meeting with you. Their agenda was to ask you to invest in their company or even work for them. They said their product called “computer software,” something unheard of during those days would eventually change the world in the near future. A skinny little geek insisted that you do invest with them because if you dont you would regret it. Do you think you would be convinced with their investment strategies? Are you sure you would have invested your time or your money?

Those who did decide to invest became millionaires and even billionaires later on. Some of those people left after several years and months while those who remained and stayed with the company for a long period of time became very rich.

For certain, nobody expected that those casually dressed, long haired, hippie looking geeks later on would be included in the list of the world’s richest people aside from the fact that they shaped and changed the world that we currently live in. But one thing is certain those who invested in those casually dressed, long haired, hippie looking geeks certainly reaped the benefits.

The speaker ended his presentation by asking people to have the foresight and take the chance by jumping at the opportunity to join the multi-level marketing scheme involvoing the VOIP product. Without a doubt both the the product and sales pitch were good. But sad to say, experience tells me that any multi-level marketing (MLM) based business will only be good after a certain time. Most MLM based business switch to traditional marketing after the market becomes so saturated leaving those at the bottom of the with nobody to recruit. It would have been a different story of the speaker asked people to buy shares of stocks. Certainly, I would have bought some. Investing in companies who has the foresight to know the trend in the future is always part of good investment strategies. Before I forget, the company he was referring to was Microsoft and the skinny little geek wearing the blue shirt is of course, Bill Gates.

Get Explosive Business Growth with One Simple Technique

by Mark Hall

I am going to share with you a principle that exist in all humanity. Not only will I reveal this principle, but I will demonstrate how it can be used to dramatically grow your business this year. Well, lets get going.

I understand that there are no two people who are exactly a like. We all are unique in our own way. However, there are some things about each of us that are similar. No matter what your cultural or geographical background we all look to other to decide right and wrong. Better put, the behavior of others helps us decide upon appropriate behavior.

Do you know what the number one risk factor that decides if a teenager uses drugs? Is it if the parents talk to them about the dangers of drugs? That’s a good thing, but not it. Is it participation in drug prevention programs like D.A.R.E.? That’s a good thing, but not it. The number one risk factor that determines if a teen will use drugs is if their friends use them. This is example illustrates the influence that groups of people have on the behavior of individuals.

If you still aren’t convinced consider a popular tactic used by the best advertising firms across the country. How many times have you seen some celebrity endorsing a certain product? They do it because it works. We see the celebrity and figure if its good enough for them it must be good enough for us.

Do you ever wonder why Consumer Review columns and magazines are so popular? People like them because they do all the thinking for them. They evaluate the products on several key parameters then make recommendations based on their findings. These recommendations help customers choose the products they purchase. Consumers value these recommendations because they appear unbiased and thorough.

We now understand that we have a natural tendency to look to others to validate our decisions. How can we utilize this principle to grow our businesses? The proper implementation of this principle could explode your business. Here are 5 ways you can incorporate this principle into your current marketing mix.

Testimonials are gold include actively present them to your prospective buyers.

If you find you have a product with low refund request, let your prospective buyers know. For example, “Last year only 3% of people requested a refund after purchasing this product.”

Always measure your results. Let your prospective clients know, “48% of people who took a look at this presentation became active distributors.”

Reference any Celebrity product users.

Measure customer satisfaction. “94% of customers report that they were satisfied with their purchase.”

by Brad Nathan

Running searches online for Coastal Vacations could land you up with an endless list of opportunities. But when you check one of those sites the main thing you need to check is whether it is the official website.

For the Coastal Vacation business opportunity there are many distributors. All the websites of distributor look alike the only thing that sets them apart is the distributor’s personal information. And when you sign up with one of them they provide you with 4 different websites for:

1) Business opportunity

2) Retail

3) Presentation / Lead Capture

4) Business incentives

They also provide you with a few tools and material that help you to build your business and they also provide you some training on how to make money with the help of the business. This is in addition to the 4 official websites they provide you with.

If you are serious about a coastal vacation business opportunity for yourself, then you are not going to get all the information in this article. For this you got to go to their website and read it completely, only there will you get the complete and the best information.

Their pay plans are real simple; they pay you a commission which is different for the different packages you sell. But in the process of the business there are different levels set by them which you can achieve. Director is the level most people aim at. The diagrams in the websites make it easy for you to understand the pay plans and the levels in the business.

Their ‘Direct Sales Marketing’ is really important; it must read and remembered. I short it says that they have independent sales persons and so you and the distributors would need to purchase the packages from one of these sales persons. And to get more information about them their website would be the best place.

Search for coastal vacation on the internet when the list appears check a few and see if this is the opportunity you are looking for. And unless you go through their website you won’t know what they have to offer to their distributors. And only you can decide if it is the best opportunity for you.
