How do the Wealthy Get that Way?

The Secret Knowledge Of The Wealthy

I still have that MLM downline and even though I haven't actively worked with them since 2000, I still get a very healthy annual income from the effort I put into building the organization. Now, that's true residual income!

I achieved this success by figuring out how to not only overcome the common objections you get when you present your MLM business, but how to prevent them from coming up in the first place!

The only problem was, I could do it but it wasn't that easy to teach my downline to do it.

One day I had a new distributor join my organization named Donna. Donna and I sat down and did a Goals planning session. Donna told me that her dream was to buy back the family farm that her mother had lost due to financial troubles. The farm had been in the family for six generations and her mother just felt terrible that she had lost it. Donna's goal was to get the farm back.

This goal really touched my heart and I was determined to work aggressively with Donna and help her reach her goal. But two days later, it was as though Donna just came up missing. She wasn't returning my calls. I couldn't reach her. It stung me, it hurt really, really bad that she was now ignoring me.

I realized that what was happening to me was also happening to others. You know, you will be telling somebody about your company and it's in a trillion dollar industry and you've got exclusive products that nobody else has . . . . but you look at the person and it's as though you're speaking a foreign language - nothing connects.

And you think, "They don't get it. What's wrong? What didn't I say right?"

Well, through thousands and thousands of one-on-ones, I discovered that people go through certain phases and it's always the same. They have to become aware of a subject before they can become educated in a subject before they can take responsibility for the subject.

So, it always goes - awareness, education and then to responsibility.

The reason that someone cannot hear the information that you're saying often times is because they're not educated to even know what to listen for.

You see, the biggest challenge is this - the prospects that you're talking to, if they could be wealthy, they already would be.

Are you missing the secret knowledge of the wealthy?

"USA Today" ran a survey called "How do the Wealthy Get that Way?".

What do you think the number one answer was? Would you believe that the number one way people thought you could become wealthy was to win the lottery? Number two was to inherit it.

Hard work didn't even make the list! That's the problem! When anyone puts the responsibility for their income outside of themselves, then they've lost the control.

Give your MLM prospect the ability to know that they can control their income. Wealth is not a mystery. It's a formula and this presentation explains that formula, without mentioning network marketing.

Help your prospect to understand from the very beginning that if they choose to own their own business as a way to wealth, they must invest in their business because when you're in business you've got to make yourself known.

Anyone who comes into your business and is unwilling to invest in products, advertising, buying leads, etc. - why, you did yourself no good by sponsoring them.

If you're a new distributor, you've probably been told to make a list of 200 people you know and call them up and tell them how excited you are about your product and/or your company. I don't know of a faster way to failure.

Your excitement alone is not usually enough.

You've got to know what to say and how to handle the objections that come up.

You're brand new. You don't know these things yet and statistically, only 3% to 5% of new distributors can handle the repeated rejection and failure and give up before getting through the learning curve.

There is a solution to this and that solution is tools and mentors. Tools sort through the objections that a new distributor encounters when starting their business and attracts people looking to generate additional income.

Mentors have oversome common obsticales and more importantly, have helped other distributors overcome obsticals and can provide a proven road map to success.

Follow in someone’s footsteps and DO what they have done and you will HAVE what they have. So people need to understand that this is true even if they are not aware of it. Just like the saying, ‘’You are what you eat”, you are also what you read, think and associate with.

Associate with wealthy people and do what they do, read what they read and think how they think and soon you will have what they have. It’s as simple as that.

5 Tips For Staying Razor Sharp When Starting Your Home Business Enterprise

Starting Your Home Business Enterprise The Right Way

So, you've decided to start a home-based business? Good for you!

You've just joined the ranks of 79 million North Americans who are expected to start their own home based business in the next 3 to 5 years according to Forbes Magazine.

You may be juggling a full time job, a part time job and family life. You know that there are many things you need to do in order to successfully start your business and work from home.

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking its going to be easy. It can be simple but it won't be easy. If it were easy everyone would be rich working from home.How are you going to fit your business project into your daily commitments?

It's easy to become overwhelmed and lose focus. Losing focus will cause you to take no action. Action is essential to moving on from where you are now, to where you want to go.

Here are 5 critical tips for staying focused and razor sharp when starting your home business enterprise...

1. Break It Down:
If you have a large task to tackle, it is always easier when you break it down into smaller components. You'll find it easier to focus because you won't feel as overwhelmed.

For example, 'Register a business name' can be broken down into: 'Think of five business name ideas', 'Find out how to register a business name', 'Get registration form' and so on.

2. Keep A 'To Do' List:
Once you've broken down major tasks into smaller ones, make and keep a 'to do' list. Always keep a note pad and pen with you so that you can jot down any new ideas as they arise.

3. Schedule Your Time:
Every evening, decide on three to five tasks on your 'to do' list that you wish to accomplish the following day. Stay focused on these tasks and only move on to the next tasks on your list once these have been completed.

4. Set Goals:
This is critical. There is nothing that will keep you more focused than setting goals and writing out your goals. Visualize exactly where you want to be in a month, six months and a year. In a month's time, do you want to have registered a business name and have a fully functional home office set up?

In three months time, how many clients or team members do you want? How much revenue do you want to generate in a six month's time?

5. Say No:
Be assertive and carve out more time for your home business. Saying ‘no' to that extra demand by your boss every once in a while can get you home one hour earlier a couple of days a week.

How about cutting back on the amount of housework that you do? How about watching less TV? Thats a BIG time zapper. Imagine how you could channel that extra time into your home business enterprise...

If you put these 5 tips into practice, you'll definitely find it easier to focus and stay razor sharp so you can achieve your ultimate goal of working from home and putting more LifeStyle back in your life.

P.S. Pay particular attention to Tip # 3 above. As a Home Business Owner and Entrepreneur, once you gain control of your time you will eventually have all the time you will ever need...

How We Took Over the Magnetic Sponsoring Community and How You Can 'Steal' The Exact System We Used To Achieve Financial Freedom With Better Networker

How We Took Over the Magnetic Sponsoring Community and How You Can 'Steal' the Exact System We Used To Achieve Financial Freedom with Better Networker

"Great stuff, man. You should be charging for content like that."
- Mike Dillard

Around this time last year, I was sitting in my office watching MLM System Formula on my computer after having purchased it via the first limited release of the course.

The course was a recording from Mike's first ever live seminar and came with a bonus Flip Video camera so I could send Mike a testimonial when I was done studying it.

Aside from it being a fantastic course for the leaders of leaders in this industry, he revealed something to the attendees (and to anyone that bought the course) on what was coming in the next for months for Magnetic Sponsoring.

Three months before Magnetic Sponsoring 3.0 had launched, I got a sneak preview into the new system and gained some insight into the mind of a master marketer. (Mike is a margarita drinking genius, btw.)

MLM Social Network?
Mike also shared plans about his intention to launch the biggest and baddest social network ever created for the Network Marketing industry. Immediately, I started thinking of the potential of a large social network, which exclusively caters to home business owners.

We had done quite a bit of marketing on MySpace and other social networks, but the frustrating thing about those places is that you had to sort through a lot of "coal" and deal with a bunch of spammers.

Bottom line is that the major social networks are not targeted audiences for what we have to offer -- whether it's an opportunity, training or products.

However, our marketing efforts on MySpace and other places forced us to really set ourselves apart in a sea of crap, spammy crap and crap thinly veiled as pseudo-crap.

So when Mike shared that he intended to turn Magnetic Sponsoring into a social community... I was sooooo game!

We've been through 'Web 2.0 Hell' on MySpace, and we were ready to kick ass again.

Magnetic Sponsoring Launches October 2007
When the Magnetic Sponsoring Community went live in Oct. '07, as other networkers wandered aimlessly through the site and started throwing crap up in the form of articles, videos and forum posts... I simply went into the community and started observing...

I didn't interact for a few days and just kinda got a feel for how the site worked and what others were doing. I was studying the behavior of the majority, which was both interesting but a little concerning.

Fortunately, my concerns were alleviated when leaders such as Jim Yaghi, Shiraz Khan and David Schwind quickly emerged as the marketing authorities on the forums.

These were the guys I wanted to get to know...

Well, after studying what was going it was time for me to take action.

So What Did I Do First?
I started doing the exact opposite of what everyone else was doing... I simply started teaching. I shared a year's worth of study, research, courses, the internet marketing work for Hwa Rang Do and $50,000 in investment Raymond and I had poured into our growth as business owners.

At first, I didn't make any big waves.

I was just focused on adding value and NEVER once promoting my opportunity.

Even my signature pointed to our website, where people were able to get even more FREE training on internet marketing through AMF.

I don't think Raymond and I were even selling our AMF course yet. We were just giving away what was practical to give away via articles on the MS site and via email newsletters to our list.

"SEO A-Bomb" Video
Then one day in the middle of November, I decided to conduct an experiment and see if I could attract some of the leaders that had established themselves on the community.

I turned on the Flip Video camera which I got when I bought MLM System Formula and recorded a video of me discussing the topic of SEO. Particularly, I discussed some pretty advanced and powerful concepts on something called Silo Structures and the Co-occurrence Matrix, ( a La Theme Zoom).

I posted the video on the community and started a thread on the forum titled, "Google Search Algorithm Cracked?"

The first response I got on the forum was from none other than Mike Dillard:
That's all the social proof I needed. The responses to that forum thread started coming from Tim Erway, Jim Yaghi, David Schwind, Shiraz Khan among many other members.

That video and the discussion on that forum was an instant hit, and quickly became the most viewed forum thread in the entire community and continues to be 'til this day.

What was even more interesting was that for the first few days, the only people commenting on that thread were the top leaders in the industry.

I think back now to the community's reaction to that video and it really seemed like everyone who had been spamming their opportunity had been frozen in their tracks, not really understanding why with one video I was able to get the attention of so many great leaders.

My experiment had worked. I specifically posted that content to attract the top leaders in the community and it ended up getting the attention of the world's top authority on internet network marketing.

Eventually, Raymond joined me on the MS Community and we became a real dynamic duo, producing valuable content for everyone to read for free. Helping thousands of entrepreneurs with their marketing and literally posting thousands of dollars worth of advice, on the forum at no charge.

Continued with Quality and Value
From that point on, Raymond and I continued to post quality content on the Magnetic Sponsoring Community, we developed a system for marketing on the site and we continued to make a name for ourselves.

Amazingly, a few days after I posted the SEO video I was on the phone speaking to Mike Dillard and Tim Erway as to how we could help them with SEO on the site as well as teaching to the MS Community on a more official basis.

Wow! To think that only a year before, I was listening to MLM Traffic Formula LIVE in my bedroom and learning from Mike, Tim and Tom just like everyone else who had purchased the course, wondering if this stuff would really work.

Our AMF brand flourished as a result of this exposure and we became the authorities on the topic of SEO in this industry, (we actually know a lot more than just SEO). ;)

Fast forward a few months later and on May 2008, Raymond and I led 100 networkers in the first (and only) MLM Traffic Formula LIVE Workshop in Austin, TX.

It was Mike's MS brand, but he stepped aside and allowed us to lead the event, develop the content and run the show. It was a huge success and now we are living the life we had dreamed of since we got started in this industry 3 years ago.

A month before the live workshop, Ray and I walked out of our corporate jobs and retired from the Aerospace Industry and left behind a cushy $80,000 per year J-O-B in exchange for our freedom and time to make a real impact in this industry.

Now It's Your Turn
Now I know I've gone on for a while sharing our story with you, but it's for a reason.

We started from nothing and used the power of social networking to achieve all this. And we did it by providing value to the MS community and following what Mike taught us via his Magnetic Sponsoring courses.

Well, now Mike has decided to start all over again, build from scratch and recently launched BetterNetworker.com (replacing the Magnetic Sponsoring Community).

Powerful new features in this community now offers a ton of potential for even the newest person in this industry, an easy to use interface and a goldmine of opportunity to expose people to your business, when use correctly.

Ray and I wish to be your guide through this process and help you achieve the results you desire.

Right now, there are only two things you need to do, neither of which will cost you any money:

1) If you haven't done so already, click on BetterNetworker.com and create a profile, (if you already had a Magnetic Sponsoring profile, use your same username and password).

2) Then after you have a profile, join our 'Better Networker Results' Mastermind Group for FREE.
Via this group on BetterNetworker.com, we'll be providing you with the very best advice and strategies to make the most out of your efforts and participation in this new cutting edge community.

Along with learning from us, you'll be encouraged to take action and share your results with only this
small group of entrepreneurs so everyone can learn and use your successes to establish yourself as a leader in this industry.

Better Networker Inner Circle - By Invitation Only
After a few weeks, we'll be selecting the highest performing members to become a part of a private group called the 'Better Networker Inner Circle'.

All content, advice and memberships will be kept strictly private.

This is where we will share the exact system we initially developed to make a name for ourselves in the Magnetic Sponsoring Community, and work together as a team to apply that marketing system to the new Better Networker Community to achieve the results you want for your business.

If you still dont' believe that we are capable of producing some awesome results, check out this list when I searched for "magnetic sponsoring" on Google, today:

In SEO, there is something called an 'indented listing'. Through our work on the community and posting of content, we managed to get my profile listed in the search engines right under the Magnetic Sponsoring listing.

Unfortunately, since the MS community is no more, we'll have to start all over to produce similar results. But we're not worried... we look forward to the challenge.
Join Us!

So in conclusion, go get your profile then join our little mastermind group, and get to work. is
We've posted some articles within the group area, so you can start learning proper way to use the BetterNetworker.com community to grow your business.

You can also get free training at BetterNetworkerProfits.com, which includes links to every article we've ever published, and info on other resources.
Enjoy the gifts!

Controversial Evidence Of CNN Mind Control Tactics...

So it's a rare occasion... I'm sitting here poking around the net at midnight while watching a special on John McCain which was preceded by a special on Barack Obama.

Now just for the record, I'm neither a Republican or a Democrat. If anything, I'm a Libertarian and if I had my choice, I'd be voting for Ron Paul. If you're a fan of Obama, great. If you're a fan of McCain, great.

Yet as I sit here on my couch, I'm utterly shocked by what I've seen tonight...

Obama's special positioned him as a golden boy who's destined to change the world. McCain has been portrayed as the cheater, the liar, and an opportunist. His wife, as a drug addict and a thief.

Now I respect your views one way or another, and once again I'm not fans of either candidate, but what I'm witnessing is nothing short of intentional mind control...

You see, I'm watching these specials as a marketer and a copywriter, (which is in this case a script writer).

Having acquired the skill of copywriting, I'm absolutely speechless at what I'm seeing. The producer/writer of these episodes is utterly devious, and disgustingly talented...

As I watch the McCain episode, I'm just counting and listing the subconscious implants as they flood through my television...

The following words were pulled out of the McCain "report" in less than 20 minutes...

"odd couple, scandal, cheater, drug addict, divorce, would test patience and tenacity, opposition, label, lied, short votes, frustrated, anger, ugly side, constant struggle, furious, his only worry, attacks, viscous, out of wed-lock, angrily, smear, you got beat, bitter, complained, disaster, not enough resources, flirtation, repair, disastrous start, debacle, lose, combative, unpopular, calculating, oldest..."

Now Obama's turn. This is the second airing of his special, and the following words were pulled from the first 10 minutes...

"biggest crowds, under-dog, caught fire, yes we can, rock star, magnet, making history, next president of the US, unlikely candidate, possible, fascinating, opportunities, wonderful, pure Americana, spectacular, loving, sweet, right vs. wrong, strong, persistent, dream, promise, win, smart, charisma, hopeful, bright eyes, joyful, outgoing, vibrant, brilliant..."

You've got to be kidding me.

My friends, if you don't believe in the power of copywriting, subconscious implants, and persuasion, then you'd better wake-up because you're mind is being controlled by the mass media, and I've just sat here and watched it happen once again from a network that's supposed to be unbiased.

Now just in case you've fallen for that load of BS, "unbiased" doesn't exist in businesses that are out for profit, which are controlled by people who are out for power.

There's always an agenda, and if they can try to frame their twisted content as "unbiased" in order to make it more palatable for us to swallow, they will... And they do. (Every network).

In my opinion, copywriting is the most powerful skill in the world... Nuclear weapons have nothing on the hypnotic power of the spoken, persuasive word, and are in fact, servants of their verbal master.

It is the single, most valuable skill I've acquired.

If you have not invested in your copywriting skills, and mastered this power, you are spinning your wheels and for the most part... Powerless.

Powerless to engage people. Powerless to grab attention. Powerless to interact. Powerless to persuade, powerless to motivate, and powerless to sell.

Those who have mastered the skill of copywriting dominate this market. They produce the most leads, sell the most products, sponsor the most distributors, and make the most money.

If you're computer and book shelves aren't over-flowing with books and courses on writing compelling copy, you're making a HUGE mistake. That's my foundation. That's where I started and what changed everything for me.

So what should you be reading right now? Here's some of my favorite resources...

"The Ultimate Sales Letter", by Dan Kennedy. This is a simple $15 book you can find at Amazon or your local book store. It's a great first-step for everyone.

"Scientific Advertising", by Claude Hopkins. You can find the free PDF of the public domain work with a simple Google search.

"The Copywriters Guild" This is fantastic piece of work that was put together by David Garfinkel, and my business partner Tim Erway. It's an online video course so you can access the content instantly without having to wait for a book to be shipped to your home.

Obviously I'm a little biased towards CWG here, because I know the authors of this product personally, and the content is fantastic, so if you're going to take my advice and brush up on your copywriting skills, I recommend The Guild as your first stop because it's provides the biggest bang for your buck.

The Dirty Little Secret About Attraction Marketing

Corrisa Malone posted a great article on MagneticSponsoring.com that makes an important point about attraction marketing.

Written by Corrisa Malone
Are you ready to pull your hair out because you can't figure out why your visitors don't opt-in to your site, take action after watching your YouTube videos, and just plain outright ignore you?

Then rest assured that it's something that you can fix.

It's either something you're saying that's turning them off to you, or you're just not turning them on.

You have to learn how to speak the "language" of your prospects.It's a skill that takes time to develop.

Copywriting is that over-looked aspect that people either don't understand or just plain ignore because they think it's not important.

I think of copywriting as using words to compell your prospects/visitors to take the desired action.

Copywriting is everything, as is the words you say.

You use words to sell yourself in your videos, in your articles, on your website, in your ads, in your podcasts, in your profiles at social networking sites, and everywhere else in between.

I admit this area is not my strength.

And it may not be yours.

But it has to be something that you're striving to get better at or you're going to have a tough time getting people to respond to you.

The fact of the matter is that you can have ten or twenty website pages on the first page of Google and have over 30 videos on YouTube and still not get any significant amount of traffic or opt-ins...if people don't like what you're saying.

Attraction marketing to me is not just about putting your links all over the Internet hoping someone will click it, but about building a better you that makes people more attracted to you.

And that can be only done when you start speaking the words your prospects wants to hear; i.e. How can you solve my problem?

You answer that question in the words you write and the words you say.

That's attraction marketing.

You either begin learn this now or you'll be pulling even more of your hair out a year from now.
Trust me on this one.

How To Overcome Your Prospects Skepticism

I want to talk to you about something key to your overall success. A topic if understood and used persistently will surely increase your conversion rate from prospect to signup in your business.

If you are to set yourself apart from your competition thisis an extremely easy way to do it.

First you must understand that for the vast majority of your prospects are highly skeptical about you and your business and are actively looking for a way to dismiss you as someone who's just like all those others out there.

They all carry the attitude of "I've tried something like this before and it didn't work, what's going to make this go around any different?"

And well you can try to explain why you and your business are so great, but that's what the average guy does and so it's not so effective.

There is a better way, and it's actually easier than spending your time trying to verbally sell your prospect on you and your business and it's this . . .

Let your successes do the talking for you!

Here's what I mean.In all that you do be sure to archive proof of what sets you apart, any small minor success that you've had is potent weapon you can use and in fact you should be using.

If you have people on your team that you've helped achieve,ask them to write you a quick note about what they think about you.It doesn't matter if you only helped them gain one new prospect and they're excited about it, it's just as powerful to that skeptical prospect as someone saying you helped them make a million dollars.

In fact, it may even be more powerful because your prospect must first bridge the mental gap between where they are now to actually doing what you're doing and to be honest if you flash them a statement saying you helped someone recruit 20 people it may scare your prospects away.

It's to big for them at the outset.They simple need to see that what you do works and it's easy to get started and that you're a good person that others are excited to work with.

And well these little notes your team members pass you are just what they want and need to see.

Third party validation is a powerful thing. Don't underestimate it. Instead, take a couple minutes to ask your team members to shoot you a note about why they enjoy working with you.

And over the course of time you'll have more than a good reason for your prospects to join you.

Now don't think that's all you can use.

Use your own success, use your own stats, take screen shots of what's working for you and use these too. If you don't have many on your team now, well your own validation is what's going to be doing the lions share ofthe work in showing your prospects what sets you apart from
the other guy that just tries to hype them over the phone.

Your prospects want the truth, provide that and the hardest part of your work is done.

How to Earn Money from the Funded Proposal Model

Most network marketing systems today are based on the funded proposal model. If you are intent on creating your own strategy for your network marketing business, using the funded proposal model allows you to generate profit even if people don’t sign up with your company in the end.

What is the Funded Proposal Model?
A lot of network marketing businesses end up failing simply because their initial advertising costs are greater than the profits their businesses are able to generate. The funded proposal model was created to give network marketers a way to offset advertising costs and earn money as well even if people decide not to join their network marketing company.

Elements of a Funded Proposal
A funded proposal takes time to create because you’re devising a strategy that has to be duplicable and able to work for all types of network marketing companies, products, and services. A funded proposal is also designed to help solve problems that commonly beset network marketers. Your funded proposal will be effective if it possesses the five essential elements stated below.

Business Building
Funded proposals must include time-tested and proven strategies for building a network marketing business. Establishing your business online will always include building a website and making use of various Internet marketing tools to generate website traffic. Your funded proposal must help network marketers achieve their business building goals without hurting their pockets too much.

Prospect Listing
Another important factor to incorporate in your funded proposal is prospect listing. You should teach your affiliates the best ways to create a prospect list for their own business. And of course, this step must be accomplished within the person’s budget.

Lead Generation
Funded proposals must also eliminate the need for buying MLM leads. Funded proposals must include tested and proven strategies for lead generation. Getting high quality leads is more likely if you’ve generated them through your own efforts. By giving affiliates full control on how to generate those leads, you’re also giving them the opportunity to have access to leads that are tailor-made for their business.

Leadership and Support
Funded proposals also require interaction between the proposal creator – that’s you – and its subscribers. You must accept and embrace your role as a leader to them if you wish for your funded proposal to work. As a leader, it’s your job to motivate them and give them all the encouragement and support they need to attain their goals in network marketing.

The lead generation techniques your funded proposal taught them to use will give them access to high quality leads, yes, but it’s your leadership and support that enables them to make excellent use of those leads. Without appropriate skills, opportunities can still slip through a person’s fingers. It’s your job to make sure that doesn’t happen to any of your affiliates!

Their Profit
The success of your funded proposal would generally be based on the amount of profit it is able to generate. Your proposal must also help network marketers earn money regardless of which company they’ve joined or whatever it is they’re selling.

Your Profit
Lastly, and this is to ensure that you still earn money from your funded proposal even if they don’t become a part of your network marketing business, remember to charge a reasonable rate for access to your funded proposal system. If it’s as good as you think it is, people won’t mind paying for it!

Help Your Prospect Get Where They Want To Go Faster And Easier Than If They Tried On Their Own

It took me some time to learn this, but in all you do in your prospecting efforts there is a much better way than following a cold calling script and putting undue pressure on both yourself and your prospect for the close and it's much easier than you think.

Once I really understood the power of doing this one thing my business took off.

Here it is.Instead of going for the hard sell, BE what your prospects are looking for.

Very subtle what I just said, but more powerful than you can imagine.

Instead of reading a script and getting nervous about whether or not you're going to close that particular lead into your business shoot right on past it. Start training them from the outset.

What are you as a sponsor?

A coach that is going to help your prospect get to where they want to go faster and easier than if they tried on their own, so my philosophy is this . . .

Start teaching and training your would be recruit BEFORE they are a recruit and just watch what happens.They won't know what's happening, but you'll be attracting them towards you like a magnet INSTEAD of forcing them into your business with all your might with the hard sell.

Speak to your prospect about what you do, give them advice,steer them in the right direction WHILE they are still prospects and watch how naturally most will want to BE apart of whatever it is you're doing.

Using A Funded Proposal System To Generate Responsive Leads

Jose posted this about funded proposals on HomebasedBusinessForums.com

When you search the internet these days, you are bombarded with many online lead generation systems out there and I wonder who else hasn't heard about "funded proposal".

As a beginner in internet network marketing, I would like to know more about this group of people who have yet to hear about online lead generation system and how to effectively reach them.

Can you please share your ideas/info.
Thank you.Jose

In response to your inquiry Jose...
People in a network marketing business usually lose enthusiasm building their business because they either:
(1) Run out of leads
(2) Run out of money while trying to generate more leads.

A common problem with struggling marketers is paying for leads that are not responsive to the offer the marketer is promoting. Frustrated, the marketer gives up.

So, how do you generate responsive leads without going broke? Why, you get them to pay you of course. This is called a funded proposal system. In other words you get PAID to generate leads regardless if they join your network marketing company or not. It’s very simple.

What network marketers want is more leads, and more cash.

A funded proposal system teaches network marketing prospects how to generate more leads and more cash - exactly what all network marketers want to learn all about. People who use a funded proposal system are able to build a relationship with other network marketers - people already SOLD on the idea of network marketing and looking for a leader to follow.

Effective funded proposals position the marketer as a leader who provides solutions to a problem, in front of people who already have a need, a desire, and are actively looking for a solution to their problem. This targets a generic network marketing crowd.

This is a business about marketing pursued by people who have never marketed anything before.

They need help by someone that knows what they are doing and will hold them by the hand to show them how it is done. The alternative would be for the networker to learn by trail and error, a very costly and frustrating course to take.

With this in mind, a highly effective funded proposal would do well to attract network marketers if it teaches how to market products and generate leads.

Someone who has invested the time, money and effort to learn how to generate quality targeted leads has information that is of great value to someone just starting out in MLM and needs new leads to grow their business. Leads cost money unless the method used to generate leads also generates money. This is where the FUNDED part of a funded proposal comes in.

Your funded proposal needs to have three parts.

(1) A low-cost high volume retail product for under $50 that pays for your advertising and generates a constant source of MLM leads for you.

(2) A medium to high cost backend product that pays your bills and makes you money.

(3) A network marketing opportunity that creates long term, exponential, residual income and grows your downline organization.You see, the average person can not afford to pay for the costs of marketing their business while they learn to build it, eventually spending themselves out of business with advertising costs before their business has a chance to grow into a profit.

A funded proposal generates the needed cash flow to keep the expenses of advertising going until the business pays for itself.Most people just advertise their network marketing business or website and hope someone joins, while a true leader solves peoples problems.

People will always pay for solutions and convenience.

So a good funded proposal makes network marketers lives easier or offers a solution to their most pressing challenges.If they are willing to invest in your program (even if they do not join your network marketing company ), the system pays you a commission based on the sale. So not only are you getting great targeted leads of people interested in what you have to offer but, you get a generous income as well.

Are You Carrying Buckets?

Written by Yanik Silver

I let my personal trainer, Jeff, borrow a copy of "Rich
Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. A few weeks later during
our workout session he blurts out, "You know what -- I'mcarrying buckets!"
"Huh?" I replied.

Jeff reminded me in the "Rich Dad" book Kiyosaki gives the
example of someone carrying buckets to supply a town with
a water and another person building a water pipe line to
carry the water. It took longer for the pipeline to be
built but once it was done - the money would continue to
come in with or without him.

What are you doing?

Sadly most people are carrying buckets. They are getting
paid based on the hours they work. Even if you are a
highly paid surgeon or attorney your income is still
limited by the hours you can work. Everybody has been
taught to think the harder you work the more money you
make. What if that's completely wrong? What if it's the
smarter the work, the more money you make?

Personally, I prefer to work once and get paid over and
over and over again. And there are lots of ways you can
create recurring revenue for yourself. It could be via
royalties from an invention, a song, or a book. It could
be from network marketing. It could be from real estate.
It could be dividends from investments. Or it could be
from a multitude of other ways aside from the typical
9-to-5 grind.

The majority of my income day-in and day-out is a direct
result of work I did 1, 2, 3...even 6+ years ago or more. For
instance, if you create an information product to sell
(like a report, ebook, software, video, etc) you only have
to do the work once of creating it and once to write the
sales letter.

Then if you set up some automatic promotion avenues like
an affiliate program or autoresponder messages - you can
continue to get paid for that product indefinitely. One of
biggest income streams is a product I created 5 years ago
and still makes me a nice six-figure income each year.

Frankly, I couldn't turn off my recurring revenue streams
right now if I tried. That's because much of what I've
created has fed on itself. One product refers people to
another. Our affiliate network (over 35,000) refer people
to our sites. Some of our sites cross-promote our other
sites, etc. etc.

When you keep working on activities that have recurring
value you'll create a momentum that's tough to stop. But
the truth is -- it IS hard work in the beginning. It's
like a rocket taking off in which it burns most of its
fuel on lift off.

You need to put in the hours and effort upfront and then
you can ease off the throttle. But if you don't put in the
extra effort upfront you'll never achieve lift off and get
that momentum you need.

The more you think about doing the work once and being
paid multiple times the more creative your mind will
become. Ask yourself the right questions and you'll get
the right answers.

In fact, even this article, if I'm lucky, will become a
recurring income producing activity. I wrote this material
once and the publicity from it will hopefully get a few
people to my websites and into my marketing funnel.

Now of course, I'm not saying that every activity I do
each day is highly leveraged because I still do some "dumb
stuff" like checking email or filling out tax forms. But
I'm working on outsourcing as much as I can and focusing
just on income producing activities (just like you
should).
