MOST people(99%) who go down to the unemployment office
are in "dire straights" and in need of a job.
Many who are there cant even afford a decent pair of shoes
let alone buy some kit from a mlm and they could
be just one notice away from eviction.

If you got one good rep from your ad in a month you
probably would be doing super!.

Well so much for that idea.

lol:D
Well most people in that position are looking for a way out.  Why not help them?  There are some mlm's that have a "no fee" membership.  I wont mention them (follow signature) but that could solve some problems for some people.  You never know if the person going to the unemployment office is a person who is in "dire straight" but can sell water to a mermaid if given the chance.

The key is to ask yourself who are you looking to attract?  Then game plan where those people shop or gather.  I look to attract serious professionals into my business. Those that have lists or databases of those that would be interested in what I am offering. That is how you get MEGA DUPLICATION. I dont buy leads or anything like that . I either partner with people who have the leads I want or I fish in the pools where those people are. Hope this helps.  Be Creative!

Here's something I do which works great and only requires you to register one domain for your business.

Setup subdomains. For example.

If your url is 'mysite.com' your subdomains could be:

'success.mysite.com'
'wealth.mysite.com'

You can always have your display link as 'mysite.com' and it can point to the subdomain.

The way you make the subdomain trackable is to use tracking software as mentioned elsewhere in this thread and then point the tracking link to one of your subdomains.

Godaddy.com gives you up to 90 subdomains per domain you register. That should be enough :)

For me, it makes more sense than registering 50 domains and wasting a ton of money, but it's up to you.

Hope this helps.

Robert.

The problem I've had is how to track which publications actually generate the most leads.  I have many domain names that are very descriptive and inspire people to click - but I still dont have enough to cover every place could submit to.  If I chose to simply track clicks, then I could use a tracking url - but then I'd lose the impact of a good domain name.


I'm concerned about the same problem.  Anyone got any answers?  You can only register so many domain names, and you certainly want to be able to use your unique name if it's descriptive and conveys an appealing idea.

mfjury,

 I know you were asking what is the best form of marketing to choose.

It is a good idea to start w/a form of marketing, implement and tweak it until you have results. Then as you see results add on another form of marketing.

Your company may provide you w/a turnkey solution that you can get started with first.

In addition to that you can also make up a weekly/daily action plan and focus on implementation. As long as you are consistent and persistent you will have results.

If you choose article marketing - maybe you commit to writing one article daily and posting into directories.

After you form that routine you may add on including 20 craigslist posts daily.

As long as you are consistent and having fun you will be rewarded.

Best of Luck!

To Your Success,

Aniko

Hi mfjury,

Aniko made very good suggestions, and I would like to add the following to your question...

determining the correct avenue for your marketing pursuits takes a lot of testing and tweaking. Although it is a good idea to start with one technique and then branch out to others; keep in mind that you are ultimately trying to get your opportunity in front of as many eyes as possible.

In order to keep your marketing funnel full at all times, you need to utilize a number of strategies and techniques. You can employ many at once by rotating which ones you emphasize each day or each week. You can simply rotate which strategies you use on a daily basis.

Essentially what you are trying to do is brand yourself and place as many sign posts out there that lead back to your lead capture/ lead generation site or splash page that hopefully ties into an autoresponder series that will drip your marketing message to your prospects over time.

These sign posts can take many forms, including articles, press releases, forum posts and signature files, PPC, blogs, some classified ads (not all are effective) and many other ways of getting your name out there as well as links back to your opportunity.

Network marketing is NOT a race, but a process. If you make a consistent effort over a period of time, you WILL be successful.

To your success,

Marc

Don't Forget about Blogging either as Google loves a Fresh up to date Blog with good Content.  Another Key is to Stay Consistent.  I personally use about 3-5 Pillars of Marketing on a Daily Basis...;)

Hi everyone.  I am new to all of this business,  I have been using social places that allow business talk, to promote my sites.  My leads are slowly picking up.  It is nice to build personal relationships with the people you do business with. 

But I might be wrong.  Like I said I am new, have been doing this since Jan.


Warm regards,

Janet Niehoff

The key is to not overwhelm yourself, start with 1 form of marketing, work on that till you have mastered it and then add another source of marketing to your daily activities, you have to be consistent. You also have to track your results, there is no point spending 5 hours marketing with something that doesn't bring you any results at all.

At What Cost Do You Call It Quits In A Home Business?

All home business owners have at some stage questioned whether the cost of running their homebased business was worth the long term gain.

Money seems to flow out a a rapid rate when we set up in business, whether it be for inventory or buying leads & mailing lists. The aim of the game is obviously to choose activities that are cost effective and that provide a good return on investment.

When you get started in business, you do so to make money. Because we work in an industry of duplication, what we do is what others will follow. Because of this what we're really all looking for are cost efficient ways to build our businesses so that others can do the same.

When we choose our methods of advertising our businesses, we either select manual activities such as flyering, talking to people in the street or leaving a "paper trail wherever we go OR we buy expensive Home Business leads or mailing lists. We do this because we're too frightened to give the Internet a go on our own. What we're missing when we do make this vital error are the latest, most efficient and revolutionary Internet marketing techniques available to date.

While it's the most time efficient of the activities available, the Internet is ruthless. Today, succeeding in the “work at home” arena is harder than ever with the painful advertising costs and “expensive” cut throat competition. Spending a small fortune to keep our businesses afloat, most of us find ourselves throwing in the towel before we even begin.

Aspiring and success driven entrepreneurs who have little or no money to advertise, can send themselves broke within months trying to learn the most potent ways to build their home businesses.  Believe it or not, the inventors of Google didn't have our business success in mind when they created Adwords. As one of the most profitable companies in the world, they certainly didn't get there by giving us everything for free.

If we want to succeed in creating solid businesses using the latest online marketing strategies, (in many cases without spending a dime), we need to learn how to combine both advertising online and Internet tools like Blogs, Articles & Search Engines to generate endless leads and instant cash for our online networking businesses.

Anyone truly wanting to build their business on a budget can. You just have to build it smart and with your long term goals in mind.

I was small business owner before I turn myself into work at home.
You see, when you mention about cost, normally we shall first consider about the fix cost eg, phone charges, electricity, rental (you can save on if you work from home) etc. My experience shown that the profit from work at home business usually overcome the fix cost (that why you choose to work from home). Some others charges/expenses may be vary, it is all depend on your own.
 
$500 is a good figure to start off with!

Yep the key to getting traffic is having daily marketing activities that you stick to, you have to do something every day to get the word out about your website, the more places the link to your website is the better, it's simple but it takes effort.. most of us are lazy that is the truth.

Thank you so much for those kind words.  Sometimes I feel like an idiot doing this.
I have joined some sites that takes 30 days to get it set up.  There is a lot I don't understand.

Thank you,

MFJury,

    First off your posting your question in here was probably the most intelligent thing you could do, for their are some very fine networking minds here from all that I have read so far.

    Secondly, there are many "programs" or "systems" out there that will allow you to plug your current existing business in their system that will allow you to fund the advertising costs of such a proposal.  I wont name any system names for its fairly easy to find these programs.  Also in programs such as these, there is normally a wealth of training and teaching tools i.e. live calls, recorded calls, video to show you step-by-step what to do with many programs, forums, and written instruction on some of the best free and/or low cost advertising mediums out there.  Many of these systems are set up by some of the biggest names in the industry.  Duplication of someone that has already done it and done it well is probably one of the main keys to building any network marketing business successfully.

     I sincerely hope that you find the answers that you need, and continue on with building a successful business and subsequently a happy and fulfilled lifestyle :-)

To Your Continued Success,

Dean L Leverett

Honestly, I don't track which sites generate the most leads. I use a program that submits to about 200 article sites and then I focus on just writing. You can PM me for the URL.

May I know the detail please?
Which software did you mean?

If you are in a business that does not offer the magnetic signs, are there any companies that make these - this and the bumper signs.  I'd like to have something on our auto's but my business, that offers everything else under the sun, does not offer these.

I suggest you create a free ebook, an information product that you have an expertise in, and distribute them to Joint Venture affiliates. That won't cost a dime and your ebook will become 'viral' and spread like wildfire. Just like a syaing 'give people what they want and you shall receive'.
