Making Money from the Internet, without Getting Infected with Scamyosis

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:58:11 +0000

By saying that, I am not going to tell you, hey, but, you know what, I know few places, where you still can make these 5k$/day … Because this is how many of these scams are getting your trust. First, they grab your attention and when you are listening, they peddle you yet another great eBook, get-rich-in-a-week pyramid or sign-them-up-to-a-mild-slavery-for-commission affiliate program. Believe me, I know what I am talking about, I’ve been through it. Now, if someone tries to inject me with another dose of oh-I-gotta-be-ri-i-ich enthusiasm, I know that this feverish feeling might be a symptom of a very annoying disease, which I call scamyosis . Unlike other infection, this one can be caught on-line by anyone who is looking for a way to make some extra money from the Internet. After being infected for quite few times, I had developed several simple checks of Internet hygiene, which really help me to tell if I am looking for a clean deal, or for another scam. Am I immune now? I hope so. There are enough opportunities for making money on-line, however, before signing up to any of them, it is easy to do few checks. I am going to share with you my approach, which worked for me, so hopefully it will work for you. My approach is based on a common sense, it is essentially can be expressed as “prevention is the best protection”. Such prevention is more or less like washing hands before meals or, even better, checking out a kitchen of a restaurant where you are planning to have a dinner. The latter rarely happens in real life, since we trust this job to USDA. In a virtual world things are more hectic, so any professional smoke seller can do miracles there. For this reason, it might be a good idea instead of giving away your hard-earned money in exchange for scamyosis, spend 10 – 15 min of your time for these little checks:

1. Copy all available names of your new affiliate friends-to-be: their business, their program, domain name, their personal names (if any are given) to your favorite search engine, mix them with search keywords: rip off, fraud, scam and spam, and let it run. You may get surprised … and I hope you’ll agree with me, that this is something which is much better (and cheaper) to know before you’ve paid your money. Fortunately or not, this check often will be all that you needed.

However what if you did this check and found nothing alarming about “so-and-so”-dot-com of your choice? Or, perhaps, you’ve seen one tiny complaint which just can be ignored comparing to a ton of happy testimonials? And you really like their offer .. Well, it is not yet time to give your money! Here comes the check point number 2:

2. Did they ask you for a membership fee at sign-up? No – good, yes – hmmm. Honest program will offer you a free trial for a reasonable period of time. Always! Why? Because those who run such program know that all they need is to show you the potential of their business. They also will explain you why they need you and how they will generate their profits from your involvement. If the membership fee is requested upon sign-up – it is a bad sign. Membership fee collection could be the way how this program makes money, maybe even the only way how it makes money. If so, the subject can be cleverly concealed. Like asking for a fee with a guarantee for a full refund. Especially alarming sign is a promise of a refund which pops-up at every introductory page or clause. Watch it. Refund is a different story and you may never get it. You’ve paid — you done. You may get a refund later, probably, it will be a partial one: imagine, smoke costs very little, so profit will be enormous even with a partial refund. Of course, there will be always 101 reasons for not giving your money back (including legally sound reasons). For example, it can be a small difference between the advertising letter, referral page, or sign-up guide and a text which is called Terms and Conditions. You will be prompted to accept Terms and Conditions upon your sign-up. The reason why you will never get your money back could be given in a small clause in Terms and Conditions, cleverly concealed within 10 -15 pages of 8 pt font of legal language. Of course, you welcome to read it yourself thoroughly, mark you questions, and seek legal advice. Any good counsel will gladly help you for mere $400 – $500 / job. Believe it or not, but even by taking this route you still can save some money! Of course, 99.99% of Internet populace will not do that. Well, perhaps it will be better to go through Terms and Conditions with search command for keywords “refund”, “cancel” and alike, you may get something different from what is offered at the sign-up page. If you are lucky: keep in mind that a clever program knows the way to conceal the truth about refund. The very best approach: if you have been asked to pay some excessive membership fee upfront – do not sign up, drop it, and keep looking for a better program.

3. Perhaps an advice to drop program (or, better not to sign-up to it) sounds too radical, but usually this is the best thing that you can do. Of course, the designer of scamyotic program knows how to reach its goal, i.e. make you to sign up. Even the membership fee can be convincingly justified. So, you have to keep watching for some other symptoms of scamyosis. Here are few typical ones:

- An undisclosed, often vague business agenda. This usually is substituted with massive verboserrhea about how good to be rich. There can be variations, watch for mentioning of drinks with small umbrellas as substitute for boring daily job routine – this is usually a sign of acute form. Run.

- Easy going membership discount pop-ups. Can’t pay $64 now? It’s OK, pay just $46, of course, you will never get a chance to receive this exclusive VIP package, but you still get the basic benefits of our program, and so on. Run.

- A lack of contact information. Customer service phone number may pop-up when you are going through sign-up routine. It is a good idea to write it down as soon as you’ll see it. You may never see it again. I’ve been subscribed to programs where, “Contact Us” page which opens upon “member login” carried no phone number, no contact e-mail, but only an anonymous comment field. These are the signs that as signed-up member you are the least welcomed person at this site. Unfortunately, this happens after you’ve already paid your membership fee. Too late to run, welcome to scamyotic ward.

Internet is full of money-hungry sharks, but if it would be true that almost everything on Internet is a fraud, the web would never existed in a first place. Majority of Internet programs run by honest people and offer excellent service and a real opportunity to make good money. Good luck to you in your quest.

Aviod Affiliate Scams

admin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:28:24 +0000

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a bundle of money quickly, with minimal effort, working at home in your pajamas? Of course it would. I for one have money flowing into my bank account. Working only a few hours form home, so I’d have more time to spend with my wife and kids, with out any boss looking over my shoulder.

Whether its real estate investing, selling by classified ads, stock market investing, internet affiliate marketing, or something else, we’ve all seen the fantastic claims people make about making tons of money, AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. I can tell you now that 99% of these people are total frauds. You may have even fallen prey to one of these scam artists, selling you their latest “get rich quick” program. Me too. I’ve bought so many of these programs that I cant even recall how many. I don’t know why, but I tend to find the “good” in people, and I was “sold” by these marketing schemes time and time again, even after being scammed by another. Finally, after so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this fascination we all have with get rich quick programs, and find out if there really were any LEGITAMTE programs for making money.

I literally contacted the administrator of every get rich quick website I could find. Posing as an investor, I managed to convince the owners that I was seriously in purchasing their entire website and business. That way, once the dollar signs flashed in their heads, they would give me free access to their member’s area to review what I would be “buying”. Well I was disgusted with 99% of what I found. Many of the owners actually boasted about how many people bought their useless programs.

I quickly realized that these so-called Get Rich Quick programs were totally useless. And the owners knew it, they were laughing all the way to the bank! I never responded when they asked if I was still interested in buying their website. Surprisingly, while searching through all of the scam artists’ websites, I was able to locate a couple of individuals that actually ran legitimate programs.

The owners were everyday people like you and me who had found a legitimate way to make extra money working from home on their computers. Their e-books contain good quality information on how to make $100-$200 per day on your computer doing very little work. But don’t take my word for it, you can visit the sites below. See what you think.

They do charge a minimal fee for access to their e-book, which is to be expected for any legitimate company that actually puts their time, money and staff into helping you get started.

Well, my search for legitimate Get Rich Quick programs has come to an end. I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly advise that you do not take the chances joining any other programs that the two listed below! What ever you do, I wish you a healthy, prosperous year for you and yours.

All the best

Don’t Buy Traffic

admin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:58:23 +0000

What is a Traffic Scam?

A traffic scam is designed to give a false sense that you can spend any amount of money and you will magically begin to get high quality traffic. This cannot be any further from the truth. These scams are designed to bring you fake hits, popup, popunder and proxy based traffic. The worst quality you can imagine and none will ever yield a sale. Below you will see a list of the above items and what they actually are.

Popups These are ads that rudely popup into a surfers face when they are browsing or surfing the web. These were widely used in the 90′s and now have been ported into rollover or flying ads that again are very intrusive to a surfer.

Popunders These types of ads are a bit more sneakier as they do not appear until all browsers are closed and there is an advertisement sitting on your desktop, again very intrusive.

Fake hit machines Yes, these exist and most of these traffic scams use them in a massive way. They setup scripts to change the referrer of a faked hit to make it appear like it is real and coming from somewhere.

Proxy hits This is by far the dirtiest tactic of them all. Server proxy lists are put together, shared and sometimes even sold to other people to use as a mask to hide themselves while they spam, spoof hits or possibly even worse like sending a virus from an internet cafe.

How to spot one?
Spotting out these hits is really not that difficult at all. Your average visitor will stay at the page for sometime before closing it. So have a look at your logs and see how long these guys stay. Take your average user and weigh that against some of the more suspicious ones. Keep in mind that bots such as Google or Yahoo Slurp will identify themselves very clearly in your logs and might have a short visit period. The unique visitor that stays 2 seconds and seems to stay only 2 seconds visit after visit is most likely a “fake” hit.

These companies even use these fake hits to boost PR and Alexa ranking. So don’t judge these guys because they have a high ranking. It is very hard to find a really traffic provider that is not scamming to some degree.

If everyone is a scam then what is the solution?
Well not everyone is a scam but most of the “cheap hits” programs are. So we advise you stay away from all of them and just build the traffic yourself. Search engine traffic has proven time and time again to be the highest quality of traffic to a website. It is completely targeted to your audience because the user was searching for you.

The answer to building your traffic is quite simple – content is king. The idea is to build as much content as possible so that the search engines will come around spider then index your pages. Relative content will yield the results you seek. For example if you put together articles related to your “widget” and keywords appear in your article about these “wdigets” and what they do then there is a greater chance when some one searches for “super widget” that they will find your site.

There is a lot of calculation in a search engine algorithm but it has been proven that the one thing that remains the same is content out weighs all other factors.

How to I build effective pages?
We have designed our software Maximum Traffic with search engines algorithms as the primary goal. We allow you to build your pages quickly and effectively to get you the highest possible rankings in the search engines. Our 15 day trial version will even yield results in that short of a time.

Using the software once might work but to be successful for the long-term effect you need to build build build and then build some more.

Who are the scammers?
We cannot name the names of the site for legal reasons but we can say most of them are the same site moving form domain name to domain name because of getting a bad reputation. These sites saturate the market and then move the domain to a new one and claim that they are the new kid on the block with the best traffic. Don’t get duped by these guys, do a Whois on the domain, call the company up, find a physical address and call these guys out. Do not let them take your hard earned money and give you nothing in return.

Conclusion
We hope that this article has shed some light on this internet craze. The thing to remember is that search engine optimization takes time and most of all patience. Lack of patience will just have you spending money in the wrong places. We have developed a line of products for people to use that will get them results – end of story. We are in this long term and will be around for many more years to come.

Creating a successful product allows us to never have to worry about customer satisfaction or having to pickup and move our shop because of a bad reputation. We feel that if we are upfront and honest with each and every person then in the long run they will understand that we are all in this together. We all should be helping each other have successful web sites and no trying to steal each others profits.

Put yourself in the surfer’s shoes for a moment. Would you open any of those intrusive ads? So then why would anyone want to open yours or furthermore want to use your service by finding it in a popup or popunder ad?

Choosing What to Sell Online

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:21:01 +0000

If you are deciding what to sell online, your basic choices are:

* Tangible goods,

* Intangibles,

* Electronically deliverable information,

* Services,

* Referrals, and

* Advertising

Tangible Goods

If you plan to sell tangible goods, have them drop-shipped by a third-party provider – so you won’t need to have a storefront or warehouse and employees (Ugh!). Re-think your business plan. Take your business off the street. Doing so will vastly improve your profit margins, better serve your customers, and free up a lot of cash.

Intangibles

Intangibles are an important category, the most common examples being insurance and travel reservations. Intangibles aren’t really “things” – you cannot put them in a wheelbarrow – yet people buy them all the time. Intangibles are very profitable – so you should expect stiff competition.

E-Goods

The next category is electronically deliverable information. This category includes e-books, e-courses, software, subscriptions, etc. In this instance, make sure they are good ones. If you over-deliver on quality or your customers won’t come away feeling dissatisfied and angry. They will not return – but they can, and will, think of ways to hurt your business.

Services

When it comes to selling services online, think it through. Offer your prospective customers goods and services that can be delivered instantly, or that other people deliver. Instead of thinking of your business as one for which you are always trying to get more work, think in terms of having a business at which you do less and less work – until you have more cashflow than you need AND all the free time you could want.

Referrals

As for referrals, you will need to find service providers looking for more work. I know a man who sold his services sealing asphalt driveways. Now his website drop-ships asphalt-sealing tools and supplies and he is paid for referrals for such services that others provide. He made a small fortune in this way and now lives in a beach house on the Caribbean island of Anguilla.

Advertising

Still another very profitable category to sell online is advertising space on your website. There are several ways to do this – some highly desirable – some less so. Google Adsense might be profitable options for you.

Website Structure

Sales messages, generally referred to as “landing” pages, should always be on Tier 3 – two clicks away from your home page (Tier 1) and one click away from your hub pages (Tier 2). Search engines prefer this structure, and your human visitors will appreciate it. This methodology works vastly better than any of the alternatives. Use Text Links To get your site visitors from your pre-selling (Tier 2) pages to your Tier 3 sales messages, use “contextual links” – text links embedded in your pre-selling informative content.

If you are (as you should) providing relevant high quality information on your Tier 2 pages, then those visitors who actually want what you sell will be almost compelled to follow your text link – if only to get that extra tidbit of valuable information that the link might provide. Selling online is very profitable. I wish you the best.

What Exactly Is Acme People Search and How Can You Earn Money With It?

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 03:46:37 +0000

Acme People Search (APS) is a home internet based business opportunity. It is an affiliate program that integrates 8 income streams into 1 platform. Upon joining this business, it provides you with your own fully, automated people search engine which is branded with a name handpicked by you.

Your goal is to learn how to promote the two opportunities; the people search engine and the affiliate program. Acme People Search has excellent training tools. The owner of APS holds three webinars weekly where you can ask questions about the program. It has an awesome forum because most affiliates provide advertising, SMO and SEO tips and tricks and answers to all questions posted. I have never seen a forum where everyone truly offers to help you. There is one post that lists over 1,000 free advertising tips. It also offers the opportunity to become a forum Super Sponsor. Once you have achieved this status, Tissa Godavitarne will pay several of your operating expenses up to $133.85, such as, your hosting expense, GVO expense, etc. and an additional $100 for advertising expenses.

By promoting your people search engine (hint: your leg up on the competition is your search engine provides free results as compare to Intellius, US Search, etc. that charge to get results), you can earn commissions from Clickbank, HD Publishing, MyLife and AdSense as follows:

1. Clickbank – When someone utilizes your people search engine to perform a reverse phone lookup, social security lookup, etc.

2. HD Publishing – You can earn commissions from Net Detective and National Alert Registry. These products target different customers. Net Detective, is online software that allows subscribers to perform background checks. National Alert Registry is an online database of sex offenders where the subscriber gets daily updates on their neighborhood and other information. The subscriber could also perform specific searches on any person.

3. MyLife is a database utilized to find people for free or search who has been looking for you.

4. AdSense is a Google program in which you permit ads to be displayed on your people search engine results webpage and if someone clicks on the advertisements, you earn monies from Google.

When you promote the business opportunity, your job is to get people to join your team. As prospects join, you can earn commissions from the following:

Global Domains International (GDI), a web hosting company Hostgator, a web hosting company Global Virtual Opportunities (GVO), a web hosting company with all the marketing tools essential to build a business. Some of these tools are Eresponder (autoresponder), Easy Video Producer, @Prospecting (prospecting system to generate leads), Conference room (to meet with your referrals online) and a few more exceptional tools. Referral Commissions from Acme People Search when prospects complete all 3 sign up steps.

GDI and GVO are multi level marketing programs. MLM’s offer residual income and allow you to build a downline. As your affiliates begin to grow their Acme People Search engine business, they may join GVO and/or GDI under your referral link and you will earn residual income from them and from some of their referrals. You can earn referral commissions from Hostgator and Acme People Search.

APS is a three step process to join. The steps are as follows:

1. Affiliatize – Create your FREE people search engine in 15 minutes.

2. Monetize – Chose your hosting company to host your people search engine. This costs about $10.00/month. Note: Some people will only see GDI because the sponsor (affiliate) has the forced matrix switched on in their APS backoffice. This option offers GDI hosting only to the new referral. It is a means to build a downline and residual income. This can only be switched if you eligible for Tissa’s Secret GDI “Sign Up” Sauce ingredients.

3. Advertise – APS will advertise your people search engine for 24 hours free after you complete these 3 steps. After the first 24 hours, you must advertise the business using one or all four of the pre-built referral links. After you earn $75.00, you are guaranteed a bonus of $125.00 (your incentive to learn). But remember, the APS forum offers tons of advertising tips, which most are free. Please note during step 3, you are asked to join Tissa’s Trio. This is free for the first 30 days. If after the 30 days, you do not want to pay the $29.95 until you have learned to earn, just cancel the subscription. If you cancel the subscription, this is what you will lose:

a. Your display rate will be reduced to 65% which means your search engine’s affiliate id to be shown to 65% of your visitors. Hence, reduced earnings.

b. You will not be able to utilize the GDI “ingredients” to climb the GDI bonus leaderboard and increase your GDI downline.

c. Your “Super Affiliate Switch” will be turned off and you will not earn APS commissions for step 2 hosting referral sign ups.

I will admit, in the beginning, this program could be confusing or overwhelming due to all the income streams rolled into it. But it offers a great support system and webinars. Just hang in there and take it one step at a time. Don’t spend massive time trying to figure stuff out, just post your question at the forum to get a quick reply. The other beauty of this program is you don’t need to promote GVO, GDI or Hostgator. Just advertise your Acme People Search business links and as prospects sign up they will learn about all the other programs and possibly join.

eCommerce and Home Based Businesses of the 21st Century

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 04:30:09 +0000

ecommercebrokers

An eCommercebroker is the direct sales industry’s answer to the door to door salesman of the 1960′s who canvassed the American subculture with products ranging from vacuum cleaners to pots and pans.

eCommerce Brokers, LLC, The Tour: www.24hourtour.net/ecommerce

In Business Since: 2006

Mission Statement:

The Mission Statement of the Company is : “Our mission is to empower people to become Conscious Consumers and choose a lifestyle of better health and increased wealth. Through our alliances with excellent green companies and the biggest names in retail, we are proud to do our part in increasing green awareness. Our ultimate goal is to make a difference in the world environmentally and socially.”

eCommerce Brokers, LLC, has been able to consistently implement its mission statement through the use of seminars, webinars, live training calls, and live tour calls. Every event has been highlighted and punctuated with making the world and society a better place to live by showing an outpouring of love and adoration for people from the founder of the company to the newest member of the eCommerce Broker team.

Pro’s: eCommerce Brokers, LLC is joining the concept of comparison shopping on the internet by setting up dynamic, personal, malls on the internet where you can shop at several stores by saving gas and helping to reduce the amount of emissions that is released into the environment.. It delivers products to customers either by UPS or Federal Express delivery as well as offering “in store pickup” at some of the largest vendors like Best Buy.. In this Direct Sales home based business, its brokers take the product of its online website portal directly to the customers by way of a live tour call as well as a one on one demonstation of the 24 hour tour in the privacy and intimacy of one’s home.

The core business of eCommerce Brokers, LLC is all about relationships. I was involved with eCommerce Brokers, LLC when it was virtually a new startup with less than 100 vendors and the training was just evolving from groups of less than 20 people called “brokers”.

While servicing the customers, the company also collects product-preference data from its customers in the form of “support tickets”. The data include the likes and dislikes of the customers and information on what kind of products each individual customer wants. The company analyzes the data and then locates manufacturers to create personalized products according to preference of the customers.

Cons: Unfortunately, eCommerce Brokers, LLC has not been in business long enough to generate a track record of success stories over the years. It has a limited Public Relations Department that is growing.

I started as broker # 3773 in May of 2008 and now there are over 100,000 brokers in the business with a customer service department that has been growing and improving every day. Because the growth of the company is so dynamic, the company is striving to keep up with the amount of customer service reps needed to handle customer complaints. It is fortunate that the company has such smoth operations that there has not been any operations issues.

The Business Model: There are three ways to become involved into the eCommerce Brokers, LLC Business Model:

A.) The Preferred Shopper is known as the “litmus” test as to why www.ecommercebrokers.net is a legitimate business and not a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes involve the need to PAY money to recieve money in the form or anything classified as commission to rebates. A preferred shopper can join the ecommerce revolution FREE of charge and “test drive” the business model while earning the largest cash back percentages known to be paid in the direct sales industry. There is a phone number to call on the ecommerce brokers website to call if you have any questions. Most online opportunities like this direct sales opportunity do not provide a phone number and real live person to work with the consumer.

B.) The Business Builder is known as “The Referrer” and gets paid to refer other individuals or businesses into the eCommerce Brokers, LLC Opportunity. The cost to be a Business Builder is a one time fee of $99.

C.) The Website Owner is known as “The Shopper” and gets paid to shop online in the form of tax free cash rebates. The cost to become a Website Owner is a one time fee of $349.

D.) The Broker is known as the hybrid of “the Referrer and the Shopper” and gets paid to shop and gets paid to refer. The cost to become a Broker is a one time fee of $448.

If for any reason the referrer, the website owner, or the broker wants to opt out of the business within the first 14 days, all of the fees paid are 100% refundable.

Compensation Plan: eCommerce Brokers, LLC has an interesting Binary Hybrid pay plan but just like a lot of Direct Sales Companies, you need to recruit and duplicate, as well as lead by example to make any real long term money. Typically if you recruit 1 new distributor a month you will build a solid organization and create recurring revenue within 24 months. I recruited 10 brokers in my first 30 days. In 13 months I have recruited 23 brokers and I have over 885 brokers in my business. My earnings are into five figures after just 13 months.

In business you must be willing to follow direction and know about the products and organization if you are to succeed. Recruiting is done by the team, placing new brokers, website owners, or business builders in your businesses, thus helping newer brokers getting paid. eCommerce Brokers, LLC has a basic philosophy as taught be its Founder. “We get paid to shop and we get paid to refer. The more we shop and the more we refer, the more we will make.”

I started as broker # 3773 in May of 2008 and now there are over 100,000 brokers in the business with a customer service department that has been growing and improving every day. Because the growth of the company is so dynamic, the company is struggling to keep up with the amount of customer service reps needed to handle customer complaints. It is fortunate that the company has such smoth operations that there has not been any operations issues. The only other disadvantage is that the company has not yet started its own eCommunity like ebay where its members can sell their own products online such as a craigslist community can.

The Business Model: There are four ways to become involved into the eCommerce Brokers, LLC Business Model:

A.) The Preferred Shopper is allowed to test the business and website model of eCommerce Brokers, LLC with the ability to earn cash back from the person or entity they enroll under when they shop on the website.

C.) The Website Owner is known as “The Shopper” and gets paid to shop online in the form of tax free cash rebates. The cost to become a Website Owner is a one time fee of $349.

D.) The Broker is known as the hybrid of “the Referrer and the Shopper” and gets paid to shop and gets paid to refer. The cost to become a Broker is a one time fee of $448

If for any reason the referrer, the website owner, or the broker wants to opt out of the business within the first 14 days, the all fees paid are 100% refundable.

Compensation Plan: eCommerce Brokers, LLC has an interesting Binary Hybrid pay plan but just like a lot of Direct Sales Companies, you need to recruit and duplicate, as well as lead by example to make any real long term money. Typically if you recruit 1 new distributor a month you will build a solid organization and create recurring revenue within 24 months. I recruited 10 brokers in my first 30 days. In 13 months I have recruited 23 brokers and I have over 885 brokers in my business. My earnings are into five figures after just 13 months. In business you must be willing to follow direction and know about the products and organization if you are to succeed. Recruiting is done by the team, placing new brokers, website owners, or business builders in your businesses, thus helping newer brokers getting paid. eCommerce Brokers, LLC has a basic philosophy as taught be its Founder. “We get paid to shop and we get paid to refer. The more we shop and the more we refer, the more we will make.”

Here is a list from an internet survey of the top 25 most popular, but not necessarily the most successful, Network Marketing Companies. Therefore, if you google or research that network marketing company in the area you live in you may be able to find recruiters that you can expose your opportunity to. They have a chance of understanding your business better than someone with no MLM experience. And since those companies are the most popular, those prospects are likely to fall into the 97% category of those people who have not made any money in that business because of poor training, poor marketing, or poor compensation plans.

And the best way to recruit a recruiter is to ask a simple question?

“I know that you are successful, and I am always looking for another income stream, is it possible that you can evaluate this presentation for me??

And just stop talking! Exchange business cards and tell that person (never ask) that you will be following up with them tommorrow about the same time you have exposed them today.

And now the secrets of recruiting prospects like a professional:

1.) Remember that you are exposing, sorting, and nerver, ever convincing a prospect of an opportunity.

2.) Any good MLM opportunity will have a short, concise, video or powerpoint presentation for you to show. If the presentation can not present the company so that an eighth grade student can understand it, then you will have a very difficult time recruiting people into your business.

3.) Never, ever try to convince someone to become engaged in your business because that tactic is not duplicatable and you will fail to duplicate your business. If your opportunity is legitimate and your recruit is ready for that opportunity, then you will never, ever need to go down the route of someone begging for beggars.

4.) Be organized and keep a record of all of your recruits. Never approach a “no” for at least 30 days. And if you do approach that person, never ask them directly what they think. Your conversation should be light and about anything other than your opportunity. If they are interested they will ask. After about 3 subsequent exposures, then, and only then, should you bring up the question, have you come across anyone who might be interested in the opportunity we spoke about? The next question you can ask them, could be:

“I am about to expose my opportunity to an old friend from college, and being that you were not interested, can you help me “role play” my next exposure as I am looking for some help from you from a coaching aspect?”

It is important to use REVERSE psychology in sales and recruiting because hitting somone over the head with a recruiting hammer never works.

5.) Dress for success! Never speak to anyone about your opportunity unless you look successful and are about to go on a date. I can not tell you how many times I have observed MLM drones who attend seminars and business overviews in dirty tee shirts, old frayed shorts, unkempt hair styles, and reeking of body odor that no amount of cologne or air freshener would make the odor go away.
