What is it that prevents network marketers from actually getting going in their business and taking some action?

Even with the blueprint laid out by Ann Sieg in the Renegade Network Marketer, many simply have sat on the information.

The Renegade Network Marketer laid the foundation for attracting prospects to your business funnel by leveraging off the reach and power of the internet.

Trouble is, while the concept is powerful and can rejuvenate ailing network marketing businesses, network marketers are missing an actual “how to” and instead of going out and learning these new marketing strategies, they seem content to stay in the frustrating school of old offline strategies which in the main, simply don’t work.

The Birth Of The Renegade Professional

Knowing how to use marketing strategies such as article marketing to attract prospects into one’s network marketing business funnel is an extremely powerful way of getting a long and regular stream of prospects to their primary business offer.

In recent times, Web 2.0 has emerged as a powerful new way for network marketers to put their offer in front of a targeted market. Using services such as Squidoo, Hub Pages and Wikidot are becoming more and more popular while using social bookmarking sites is another part of the online equation.

Video marketing is gaining more traction; putting up your own videos whether they be you talking about how to succeed in network marketing or providing a tutorial on how to use a particular service and method can only help brand you as an expert within your field.

The tactics mentioned all working together can make you an irresistable force within network marketing circles and more importantly, will enable you to target the right audience instead of using the hit and miss prospecting tactics of offline network marketing.

Mike Klingler of the Renegade Professional said it best recently…I was downright frustrated - no, disgusted - with the fact that so few people could duplicate any measure of success building their networking business the old way.

It’s fair to say the reputation of the network marketing industry has copped a fair hammering over the years.

There wouldn’t be too many people who haven’t been approached to take a look at a business opportunity.

That’s fine, every one is looking for a better way but in most cases, when you ask what it is, you’re suddenly confronted with a cloud of secrecy and mystery and told to find out more, come to a meeting on such and such a date!

Is The Industry At Fault?

It’s not because the industry stinks - the industry itself is great, but in a nutshell, it’s the marketing tactics forced on distributors who go out in a cowboy-type fashion and harass just about every one in their path.

It’s one of the 7 Lies Of Network Marketing - just follow the simple business plan but in effect, the simple business plan has done more harm to the industry’s reputation than any other.

If this sounds hard then ask yourself why 97% of network marketers never get into a positive cash flow. Is it because the simple business plan works.

The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing

Ann Sieg made some very interesting observations in the 7 Great Lies and while some people may have initially been offended by the claims, the majority would have resonated with her report.

For example, one would assume network marketing would have something to do with marketing. It’s no secret that when you learn how to market effectively there aren’t too many products or services in the world you couldn’t successfully promote.

Well, one of the core principles of the simple business plan in MLM is to treat every one as a prospect. It’s one of the first rules of marketing - never try to sell to anyone who has no interest in your offer.

It cuts to the core of proper attraction marketing principles , such as those taught in The Renegade Network Marketer and brands one as a serial pest even amongst their friends and relatives.

The worst sales message delivered to a targeted market will get more results than a sales message delivered to an untargeted market. If you don’t believe that then you need to take a look at the 7 Lies Of Network Marketing.

Just like Amy Pierce of Glendale, you just bought a PLR pack from New PLR Articles dot com. However, when you looked on Clusty, you found that there were 8745 other articles on the web that were identicle! What do you do?

As you undoubtedly know, PLR articles are a very rapid method to get lots of content. In fact, it is so easy it is almost idiot proof. However, just like Amy you will soon find that if you use those articles right out of the box, they will actually harm your business. The search engines will soon recognize that your content is the same as many other sites. You will then be close to last in the search engine listings. You might even be banned. So, are all those PLR articles worth anything? Yes, because…

Here are three things that can quickly make your article unique with regard to the search engines:

1) Add an Introductory Paragraph

Make up a problem scenario. Look at the first paragraph of this article. It was just made up. But, it got your attention.

2) Add a Quote

Pick a related and interesting or even funny quote that you can put in your article like this:

=================

It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.

=================

The quote can add interest to your article and the search engines like Info.com will consider it more unique. You may wish to put the quote at different places in your article if you use it in different places.

3) Change the Ending to the Article

Changing the article ending is not quite as important as the changing the beginning. The reason is, that you normally will also be adding a resource box. And the search engines seem to put more weight on the unique qualitites of the first few sentences of the article. However, it will help you to change the last paragraph or rewrite it.

You can either simply do that by adding another paragraph if that is appropriate. Or you can change the existing final paragraph.

Change the wording of the conclusion. You can make it fit better with your online newsletter. And you can make it more compatible for the purpose of your website. Whether you are trying to send traffic to one special affiliate or your own service, the ending is often important to get the response you want.

In the next part of this PLR Articles series, I will show you how to start using some software to make your PLR article unique.

Free online paid surveys are a fun way for people to “get their feet wet” online especially for newcomers looking for extra ways to put cash in their pockets.

Can you get rich from participating in paid surveys online? Well, the honest answer is no but, you can buffer your bottom line and have fun at the same time.

The income expected from completing online surveys isn’t huge. If you treat this business as a way to earn a little bonus money to go towards your car payment or mortgage then it can be a very rewarding experience.

Free online paid surveys are simple to complete. The amount of money you earn depends on several factors including your location, age sex and your preferences. Remember, companies are seeking your opinion on matters related to their business; it’s not you seeking information.

Under no circumstances do you need to pay to participate in a survey. What’s the point of looking for an extra income stream if it’s going to cost you money.

Beware of those companies charging for information on paid survey sites. The truth is, you can get the same information for free through online.

Giving Away Personal Information?

This is a sticky point. Give too much information during the sign up process and you run the risk of falling for scammers. Things like age and location should be fine because when it’s time to send out surveys and your demographics are a match then you pick up some work.

Under no circumstances part with personal information and be very suspicious about companies wanting any financial information. Run a mile if you are asked to part with personal information unnecessarily.

Free online paid surveys have received some bad publicity during recent years and for good reason. It’s unfortunate the legitimate programs have been caught up in some of the controversy but with a little patience, you can carve out a handy income stream.

Once upon a time, the number of leads you generated for your network marketing business relied heavily on the amount of work you put in. The catch cry we heard over and over was…”Reward Equals Action!”

It was the foundation of your success blueprint. Things haven’t really changed that much except now, working smarter in your MLM business is the key. The Renegade Network Marketer has open up a doorway to working smarter in attracting targeted prospects into your network marketing funnel.

Instead of wasting time chasing untargeted prospects you now have the blueprint for generating prospects who actually chase you. It’s called attraction marketing.

Attracting targeted prospects is one thing though but how do you convert them into your primary network marketing business?

Ann Sieg showed us how to generate cash flow while building your MLM business and this is part of the answer to converting prospects into distributors.

The real answer to converting leads into distributors though is by putting money in their pockets quickly!

Success Blueprint does exactly this. What is Success Blueprint? Well, in a nutshell, it’s a free targeted lead generation program that acts like a high powered fertilizer which can literally supercharge your existing home business.

What it’s not is a program to switch you from your current home business. One of the annoying aspects of network marketing is other MLMers who seem hell bent on wanting to switch you from your current company. Many times, the only reason they can give you is that their opportunity is better!

All they are succeeding in doing is coming across like a desperate marketer and losing all respect with the people they try to convert. In actual fact, these are the people who need to take a look at a program like Success Blueprint.

You only need to take a look at all the free classified services on the internet and realize the dilemma those promoting their businesses are facing. There are millions of classifieds to wade through and all offering a similar message. If you are one of those, do you think your advertisement is going to stand out from the rest?

Not likely but you cannot really blame those advertising because it’s what they were told by their upline. Place a few ads and watch the leads come in.

This is the true secret to converting prospects into your primary business. Show them how to put $200-$500 in their pocket daily. The truth is, 97% of MLMers have never made a dime. Yet, if you can even add an extra $200 to their bottom line within a week, then you’ve achieved something no one else has been able to do in their networking careers.

You’ve shown them how to physically make money; you’ve given them some belief and don’t you think they now regard you as an important part of their wealth building plans.

It’s part of the Success Blueprint relationship building process. Used in conjunction with the Renegade Network Marketer, it’s a pretty powerful recipe to MLM success.

When The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing first rolled off the presses in 2007, the MLM industry was about to get a revelation.

For too long the industry has accepted the extraordinary failure rate within it’s business building community and it took a struggling network marketer to address them.

If you are one of the 95 plus per cent of network marketers who are still spinning their wheels in this industry and not making any money then there is very good reason.

Let’s remove lack of action for a moment because undoubtedly this will account for many failures within the network marketing business. But the truth is, there are seven prime reasons why today’s network marketers simply cannot get off the starting blocks with their businesses.

Ann Sieg was a struggling MLMer for many years who did everything right in promoting her business. She made a list, attended meetings and poured her heart and soul into trying to grow her business. The fact is, every one is not a prospect in network marketing.

The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing
Bottom line is, just about everything you’ve been taught about network marketing, to quote a passage from her report…”is BS.”

Sieg set about compiling her report, The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and knew deep down she was going to offend some people. Let’s face it, despite more than 95% of people failing in MLM, there is still a propensity to get defensive when someone starts to belittle the industry.

Fact is, Sieg doesn’t belittle the industry. She recognizes it as one of the truly great vehicles for the average citizen worldwide to create financial security for themselves.

- anyone can do this business
- every one is a prospect from your family, relatives, friends and strangers
- you don’t need any skills other than being able to make a list or
- you’ll have your business built for you

Do they sound familiar to you? Truth is, anyone can do this business but only with the right skill set. And those skills should be taught even before they join the business. Most people who join a network marketing business don’t have skills such as marketing and promotion and to some extent sales.

And possibly one of the most irritating of The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing is being told one needs more self belief and belief in the business. Well, that’s true but how does that get you the fuel to build your business, namely prospects.

The Renegade Revolution

The The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing may have hit a nerve or two but now that the dust is settling, the growing numbers of renegade network marketers who continue to emerge every day is strong testimony to the message conveyed within the report.

Just like April Payne of Knoxville, , you just purchased a set of PLR articles from Fresh PLR Packs dot com. However, when you did a search on Excite, you found that there were 5755 other articles on the web that were identicle! What do you do?

As you know, PLR articles are probably the fastest way to get a huge amount of content. In fact, it is so easy you can have thousands of articles on your computer within a few hours. However, just like April you will soon find that if you use those articles right out of the box, they will actually harm your business. The search engines will soon recognize that your content is the same as many other sites. You will then be close to last in the search engine listings. You might even be banned. So, are all those PLR articles worth anything? Yes, because…

Here are three things that can easily make your article unique in the eyes of the search engines:

1) Add an Introductory Paragraph

Make up a problem scenario. Look at the scenario in the first paragraph of this article. It was just off the top of my head. But, it made you read the rest (at least up to here).

2) Add a Quote

Pick a relevant and interesting quote that you can insert somewhere in your article like this:

=================

You are WHAT you are, You are WHERE you are, because of what you put in your mind. You can CHANGE what you are, You can CHANGE where you are, by changing what you put in your mind.

=================

The quote can add interest to your article and the search engines like Excite will consider it more unique. You may wish to put the quote at different places in your article if you use it in different places.

3) Change the Ending to the Article

Changing the ending of the article is not as important as the changing the beginning. The reason {is, that you normally will also be adding a resource box.

Change the content of the conclusion. You can make it more fitting with your online newsletter. And you can make it a better fit for the purpose of your website. Whether you are trying to promote a certain product line or your own service, the ending is often important for that action.
