If you are involved with a MLM business then you are involved with both an amazing opportunity and an industry that can and does have some problems. So how do you take advantage of this opportunity and overcome many of the MLM business problems?

1. There is no immediate source of income. MLM as a business model is designed to pay you large amounts of money as your organization grows over time. It is not meant to be an instant money maker. The biggest problem with this is that with many MLM companies their products are not retailable for immediate profits. You have to find a large volume of people who want to use the product and who will also find others who want to do the same. So how do you overcome this? Well there really are only two ways to do this. The first is to find one of the few MLM companies that does have products you can retail for profits or to get into the business of selling information in order to generate leads for your MLM business.

2. Many MLM business products are expensive. While your average person may think this is true, the price of products is really relative. For example, if you have vitamins that are more expensive than the store brand ones but yet they work a lot better and save you money on doctors’ bills then which vitamin really costs more? That said, this perception is still there, so how do you overcome it? The main way is to do some research and to find out how much your competition really costs as well as what these products actually do. Develop reasons why people should pay the higher price for your MLM business products.

3. Many MLM business products are not viewed as a necessity in times of hardship. This leads to high attrition and difficulties in getting and keeping customers. Again just like in number 3, you need to find reasons why people should buy your products. The main way to do this is to create a list of all of the problems and pains that your product solves. That said, in times of economic challenges, you may find that you will need to add to your business model or find some products you can sell that are still in demand.

4. You need a large quantity of people to help you make big money. This is true no matter what MLM opportunity you are with. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the whole truth. The biggest way to solve this problem is to find customers first and then to also use multiple methods of finding people. Be crystal clear about who you are looking for as well.

Social media marketing is growing at a very high rate and while many businesses are catching on, others are still not using it. Furthermore, those who are in many cases still do not really understand how to use it to its full potential.

That said, how will social media impact business in the year 2020?

No one knows for sure, but based on current trends there are certain things that can be assumed about how social media marketing will be used ten years from now.

1. All businesses will be using some form of social media marketing. They will have to if they want to continue to be in business.

2. Advertising as we know it now will have disappeared. Display ads, billboards, TV ads. These are all examples of advertising that simply does not work anymore like it used to. Social media advertising will be in many cases replacing these forms of ads.

3. Competition on the social networks will increase. This will make it so that businesses of all sizes will be forced to show their uniqueness, to really stand out, to create strong brands and to let the world know why you should do business with them.

4. Collaboration will increase. Social media allows businesses of all sizes and business owners to work together on projects in ways not possible with other forms of technology and media. We will see that working together so that everyone benefits will be not only crucial in the future but it will become much easier.

5. Bad business will incur viral news about it to the extent that in many cases it will be impossible for that business to survive therefore, making it crucial for businesses to give good customer service.

6. Costs of doing business will go down. Social media marketing when worked effectively is one of the best and least expensive ways to marketing.

7. All businesses will have to hire at least one and in some cases an entire staff of personnel to work on their social media marketing.

What other ways do you see that social media will impact business in 2020?

Katie Freiling released her membership site the Unified Tribe about 3 months ago. Every since there have been quite a few people who have joined and who have began spreading the word about it. That said, is the Unified Tribe really worth the fee you have to pay to be a member? Here is my review of it.

I joined for about a month before a cancelled my membership. At $67 a month I found it to be a bit pricey for what is offered. Here is why:

While the concept is great and really quite clever, it didn’t seem to work like you would think that it should. In case you are not familiar with how it works, here is what it does.

1. You visit what is called the unified feed and then you share via facebook, twitter, or digg or a combination of these sites at least 5 pieces of content.

2. Then you can upload your own piece of content to the feed so others can share your content. This content can be a blog post, a video, an article or a squidoo lens.

3. There is also a place where you can add people whose content you like to what is called your tribe.

4. There is also a private members only forum where you can interact with members and Katie herself does weekly webinars for the members.

While this sounds great and in many ways it is. The biggest problem with it from my experience is that people for the most part share your content over their facebook, twitter and digg sites more because they have to in order to post their content than because they really want to help or because they really like it. During the month that I was a member I shared at least 5 pieces every day and posted 1-2 of my own pieces and while my content was shared a lot, I did not seem a noticeable increase in traffic or subscribers. In other words, it became just another thing to do and all of this sharing and syndication did not contribute to my bottom line.

Furthermore as a part-timer who is still working a job, I found that I just did not have the time to interact in the forums like I need to in order to make the fee you pay worth it.

Would my results have been different if I had stayed with it for 6 months? Maybe. I’m not so sure though.

Maybe I just didn’t stick with it long enough?

In any case, while the site is very well done and seems like it should offer a benefit worth more than what you pay, I am not really convinced.

Are you a member of the unified tribe or have you been a member? What is or was your experience? Please share below. I would love to see your comments.

Work from home scams are unfortunately everywhere. Whether you have already been scammed when looking for a work from home opportunity or you are skeptical, here are some common work from home scams and how you can avoid them.

1. Stuffing envelopes. This work from home scam involves you doing nothing but stuff envelopes with information on how other people can make money stuffing envelopes, mailing them out by the thousands and making a few dollars depending upon how many people request the information. Did you really think that working from home would be that easy? Come on now, just don’t even think about getting involved with this one.

2. Typing from home- while there may be some legitimate opportunities with this one, the reality is that many of these either require you to type so much your hands will fall off in order to make any money or it is similar to number 1 where you all you do is mail out information about how to make money typing from home or post it online and get paid a few dollars based on the number of requests you receive. Do a thorough check on this one before getting involved. Make sure that you can talk with someone who is actually doing this before even thinking about doing it.

3. Toy assembly. This one claims that you can make money from home by assembling toys and selling them. The problem with this work from home scam is twofold. One, you either buy kits and then have to figure out how to make them and sell them using the kits which is quite difficult or you have to make them and send them back to the company and either this is the last you hear from them or they tell you that the toys are not good enough. Just don’t bother with this one, you can make more money sewing or creating your own crafts from home.

4. Cash gifting. This business is just a fancy form of the old chain letter scheme and may in some cases be portrayed like a real valid network marketing opportunity which couldn’t be further from the truth. The old adage still applies here, if you give someone money, assume you won’t get it back.

5. Starting a home business for free. Yes, you may be able to fill out an application for free, but honestly what are you going to get for free? No home business is really going to be free. You are going to have to at least buy some products, or catalogs or both, or you will have to pay for web hosting, an autoresponder and other things in order to make your home business a success.

6. Data entry- just like the typing above, nearly all of these opportunities will require too much work for too little pay or they have very strict requirements. Make sure as above that you can talk with someone who is actually doing it and that the company has a phone number with a live person on the end or else forget even considering it.

7. Get rich quick. You will never get rich quick so forget even thinking about it. No matter what ads or people tell you, it will not happen period. So avoid and run from anyone who tells you otherwise.

8. Free websites and or shopping malls. Sure the site may be free but then you have to get traffic to it to make any money plus if the site is free how many other people have one just like it? Probably millions. So even if you get tons of traffic to it, your sales will probably be minimum at best.

9. Surveys. Sure there are some legitimate ones you can take and earn a small income and prizes but to believe that you can earn even a real part time income working from home doing only surveys is simply not true. In many cases, the pay is really a drawing to win so you have only a chance to win and not a guarantee. Plus too many of these can greatly increase your email spam, your phone solicitations and your junk mail. Do you really want this?

10. Get paid to read email. Sure there are programs that will actually pay you for this but at the rate of 1-3 cents per email. How much do you need to read to really make money? Do the math and you will find that your time is simply much more valuable.

Image Verification Please enter the text from the image: [Refresh Image][What's This?]

Your Passion. Our Script. What is Image Verification ( Captcha )? A security test to determine whether or not the user is human. This will ensure that only human visitors will actually submit the form, and not spamming bots that are browsing the web from site to site and submit spam where they can. It is well known that programmers can do programs for many jobs, including visiting a large amount of sites on the Internet by following links from page to page and collect emails listed on websites, submit contact forms, or even trying to break passwords by trying to login over and over again with computer generated passwords. Fortunately, it is impossible for a non-human ( ex. computer program ) to extract a word or a combination of letters and numbers from an image, if the letters and numbers are not all of the same size and of similar font. This is why, the Image Verification security method ensures that only people actually can submit a form. EmailMeForm Home | Close
