The concept of attraction marketing is gaining momentum in the network marketing arena as more and more people realize there is a relatively simple way to keep their cash flow on a productive level while they build their MLM business.
Cash flow is the biggest enemy of network marketers trying to keep themselves afloat after joining the business.
The problem with the old style network marketing building process is yes, duplication is fantastic when it starts to happen and your downline begins to grow and duplicates your efforts on the front line, but the process is a slow one and the truth is, most don’t have the resources to maintain it.
Ann Sieg touched on creating cash flow from day one in your network marketing business in The Renegade Network Marketer and the concept broke new ground for many struggling MLMers.
Suddenly, the light came on and people were able to see that they could generate income while building their business. Attraction marketing is basically getting prospects to come to you instead of you chasing them.
It means no more tackling friends, relatives and acquaintances with your super-duper business opportunity - no more trying to work your opportunity into a conversation with people and no more looking at every person at a social function as a prospect for your business.
Targeted leads are what you need to grow your MLM business, both over the long term and to generate funds from the moment you start a business.
The Renegade Network Marketer has planted the seed for many MLMers that attracting people to your business means using the power of the internet and all it has to offer in reaching out to people all over the world.
Network marketing doesn’t have to be about just approaching people you know anymore.
The ability to attract prospects in droves and better still, people who want to listen to your offer means you have the opportunity to get on the same level playing field as those who know this and have kept you in the dark during your struggling networking days.

MySpace Marketing Advice
Whether you are nobody or somebody, having an account on myspace these days is more of a cultural status symbol. MySpace has literally exploded from just a few members to millions of members around the world within a very short time span. It has become our favorite place to be and a virtual necessity for those who want to make friends through an online community or find old friends with whom they have lost contact

The incidence of online survey scams seems to be on the increase despite the publicity they receive. Why do people continually fall for these scams?
The lure of easy money is the main reason people will fall victim to paid survey scams. Getting something for very little work appeals to most but be realistic, if it was so easy then wouldn’t every one jump on board and retire from their jobs.
Isolating the bad from the good takes a little skill. More and more people are going online everyday and it’s these who are most vulnerable to scams. Many of these newcomers comprise the elderly who seem easy targets for online paid surveys scams.
Just like in the offline world, the elderly are targets for those looking to make a quick buck. That in itself is true irony. The very people who get ripped off are the ones attracted to making easy money. Yet, it’s the scam artists offering these incentives who in actual fact, score big.
How To Spot Scams
There are several dead giveaways that all is not right. - Outrageous claims. If it’s too good to be true run a mile.
- Outrageous testimonials. Testimonials are easy to fabricate. People look for a reason to take part in something.
- Guarantees and documented evidence. Guarantees in most cases are not worth the paper they’re written on. If you see a guarantee such as “make this in 60 days or we’ll give you your money back” simply scroll down to the disclaimer section and read the fine print. Quite often, what’s being promised is often contradicted.
- Being asked to part with money to take surveys is a complete no-no. Ask yourself this…do you pay your employer for the privilege of working for them. A legitimate paid survey company makes their money from the companies they are representing. Don’t fall for this scam.
- If you cannot find any contact details on the site then give it a wide berth. One rule to live by when doing surveys is if you cannot contact the people you’re working for then it’s more than likely in the category of online survey scams. You could even go as far as simply ignoring an email contact and demand that there be a phone number you can call.
Don’t you just love those programs who install all of the extra stuff on your computer system
Bottom line is no - you do not need them. But you have plenty of space so it usually not an issue
that they are on there.. The only thing we do not want to happen is for them to auto-load when you start your computer. In your case, Easyshare probably does load itself. To check, all you need to do is look to the lower right hand of your computer screen where your clock is located. You will see icons for all programs that were loaded when your computer started. You should see an A in a blue box for your virus software and a few others.
Do you see a yellow K - that shows Kodak easyshare. If you are not sure what the icon is for, just stop your mouse pointer on one of them and a description should pop up.
The more icons here, the more power gets pulled from your computer system. As I said some of them are needed, but most are not needed. Normally you can right click on the icon and click exit to remove. You can get other tips on speeding up your performance at laptop
You’ve probably heard of SEO, since it’s very hot right now. It stands for Search Engine Optimization. SEO is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a site by designing the site content so that the site ranks high in the search results of a search engine.
The higher a website ranks in the results of a search, the greater the chance that a user will visit that site. Let’s face it, most people are lazy. Read about my .
Unfortunately, the quick-buck con artists have figured this out, and they will put up a site that has a front page that is totally littered with keywords. To give you an idea, a normal keyword density for the main keywords is about 3-7%. What these people will do is have something insane like a 25% keyword density on their front page. Then that page ranks #1 in search engine results when users search for that word. Once the user is on the entry page, they’re likely to enter the site.
Search engines used to use meta-tags to search for websites. This was nice, since the meta-tag was a hidden area of your page where you could put all the relevant keywords and not have to worry about making your content sound awkward by overusing certain words.
How much money will I make? That is always the burning question. Well, the sky is virtually the limit, but let’s start by making sure that you get the best commission possible. A good guide to this is Marketing Quickies 2
When you look at affiliate marketing programs, this should be one of the first things you look at the commission per sale. Again, this may be portrayed as a percentage, or as a dollar figure. If the commission is presented as a dollar figure, it is important to locate the sale price of the product, and figure the commission percentage.
Typically, you want to go with affiliate marketing programs that offer a 50% commission. If the product is high priced, you may consider going as low as a 20% or 30% commission. But for lower priced products, don’t accept anything less than 50% on the 1st tier.
You should also consider how many sales it will take to earn the income that you desire or require. 100.00 per sale may sound like a lot, but if you require 4000.00 a month to live, you will have to make forty sales each month. This is very realistic for some products, in some markets, and not realistic at all for other products in other markets. Consider what you are selling, and whom you are selling it to, and determine whether the number of sales needed to make the money you require is indeed realistic.
If the number of sales required is not realistic, you will need to either look for something different to sell, or look for additional products to sell. You could also start small – with smaller commissions – and work your way up. This is what many super affiliates do.
Super affiliates often show the product owner/affiliate manager that they have the ability to make a large number of sales each and every month, consistently, and then they negotiate directly with the product owner for a higher commission. They prove themselves by making those sales first, and then they are in a position to negotiate.
When looking at the commission, also consider what it will cost you to promote the product. You cannot afford to spend more on promotions than you are making in commissions obviously.
