<p>1.	Recognize what went wrong the first time.  This is one of the most important steps to gaining success the second time.  Make a list of everything you can think of that went wrong.</p>
<p>2.	Recognize what went right the first time. This is just as important as what went wrong. In order for you to succeed the second time around, you must know exactly what went wrong as well as what went right. </p>
<p>3.	Make a list of what you will change this time that will make it so that you are more successful the second time. </p>
<p>4.	Be committed to your future success. Develop a strong and solid vision and be determined to make it work.</p>

<br />
One day while attending the University of Utah, I read an ad in my student newspaper. It seemed innocent enough.  They were asking for sales, customer service and people skills. So I called the number and asked for more information.  They answered my questions to my satisfaction and asked me to send them a resume. I did so, and received a call back within a few days for a job interview. So far so good, everything seemed to be going well.  The day of the interview arrived.  I approached the office building with everything I needed to make a good impression. I was dressed up and I had an extra copy of my resume and references on me just in case, I needed them.  </p>
<p>I entered the building and the receptionist said, “Have a seat, and someone will be with you shortly.”  I waited for a few minutes before a woman approached me from another room.  She said, “follow me.”  I followed her into a much larger room with lots of chairs and a white board facing the chairs.  She said to me this will be a group interview and we will get started in a few minutes after the rest of the people are here.  Within the next ten minutes the room filled up with people.  I started to get nervous and to wonder, “boy is this really the kind of job interview that I thought it was going to be.”  At this point, I still wasn’t really sure what was going to happen.</p>
<p>Then it started, a man got up in front of the room and began talking to us all about their “opportunity”.  He told us all kinds of testimonials about how great their vitamins and water filters are.  He asked the audience, how many of us had ever been or currently were in sales positions where we were paid on commission.  At the time I was working for my local ballet department in their marketing and sales department so I was working for hourly plus commission.  He then proceeded to explain that the positions they were offering paid a lot more than your average sales job. </p>
<p>However, what came next is what got me really upset that I was wasting my time. He said that we would have to buy our own kit to get started for about $200. Then he began talking about going door to door to sell their products and at that point, I got up and started to leave since I realized that I had been tricked into a network marketing presentation instead of a job.  The woman who had placed the ad and invited me briefly asked me why I was leaving and I simply said, “This is not what I thought it was.”  I then left and was quite annoyed at the whole situation.</p>
<p>Has this ever happened to you?  If so, what did you do?  At the time I thought I would never start a network marketing business. This was one of many similar situations which had me persuaded that network marketing was not for me.<br />
Well now after over 4 years as a network marketer, I can say that with the right company and the right opportunity, nearly anyone can succeed and even thrive.</p>
<p>Are you tricking people in order to get them to listen to you? If so, stop, the reality is that honesty really is the best policy and people will not join you if they think you have lied to them.</p>

<br />
Do you want to quit your MLM business? The reality is that everyone wants to quit from time to time including very successful and long –term leaders.  Running a MLM business is hard work and everyone has days when they think they just can’t take it anymore and they want to throw in the towel. However, leaders and those who are committed to their why, know that quitting is not the solution.  So what can you do to keep going even when you want to quit?</p>
<p>1.	Take break from working your business. Sometimes if you are really down and you really want to quit, then taking a break for a few days or even up to a week can really help.</p>
<p>2.	Listen to some uplifting training calls or other audios. These can do wonders for your attitude and help you to develop a long-term vision.</p>
<p>3.	Reconsider why you started your MLM business in the first place. Do you need to add to the reason or make changes?</p>
<p>4.	Make a list of everything that is going right with your business and read over it. This can help you to have some perspective. </p>
<p>5.	If you already have a team, think about what it will do to them if you quit. Responsible leaders do not give up on their team. Instead they keep leading forward even when it is hard.</p>
<p>6.	Think about how great it will feel in the future and about what rewards you will have if you continue to persist.</p>
<p>7.	Call your sponsor or someone in your upline and have a chat with them. This can help you to feel better about yourself and your situation. If you keep it to yourself then you will be more likely to explode and give up.</p>
<p>What else have you done to keep going even when you feel like quitting?</p>

<br />
When starting an online MLM business it can take a while to start earning residual income. However, you do have to spend money on your web hosting, domains, autoresponder and other similar items in order to succeed with online MLM, so how do you monetize your online MLM business and make it so that you can afford to spend what you need to while you are working on building your downline which will eventually give you the desired residual income?</p>
<p>Here are 10 ways you can monetize your online MLM business while you are still working on creating a residual income:</p>
<p>1.	Use a funded proposal.  Mike Dillard’s Magnetic <a href="http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/magnetic" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/magnetic';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Sponsoring</a> is one of the best for online MLM business owners, however there are others out there as well. These programs help you earn additional commissions that you can use to fund your business.</p>
<p>2.	Put adsense on your blog. You want to be careful however, that you are not giving away your traffic and that the ads that appear do not compete directly with your company and business. The best way to make this work for you is to blog about something that is not about MLM or a home business and put your ads on that blog.</p>
<p>3.	Find a few select products that are useful to people that you can sell as an affiliate. If you do this right, you can easily bring in anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars more to help fund your business.</p>
<p>4.	Retail your products. Depending upon your company’s product line, this may or may not generate the kind of cash flow you need. If there is little or no money in retailing your products you may want to think twice about the opportunity you have chosen. In the long term, the best MLM companies have a product that you can retail and earn an income with.</p>
<p>5.	Create your own information product and sell it. This works very well, however, you will need some online marketing experience before you can do this effectively.</p>
<p>6.	Teach seminars or give speeches on any topic familiar to you and charge people to attend your event. These can be very effective at not only at generating cash flow, but also at getting the word out about your business.</p>
<p>7.	Learn how to monetize your leads by using any of the above methods. Set up a sales funnel so that all of the leads you generate online are given the opportunity to not only join you in your business but to also purchase your products, or make some other kind of purchase that will give you an income.</p>
<p>8.	When someone says no to the business, offer them the chance to purchase your products.</p>
<p>9.	Ask for referrals from all of your leads. Learn to ask them who they know who might also be interested.</p>
<p>10.	Always be looking for new ways to increase your online MLM business’s cash flow.<br />

<p>Does the idea of writing articles and then turning them into leads for your business appeal to you? Have you tried writing articles but you didn’t get the results you hoped for? Here are eight things you can do in order to turn your article marketing into a lead generation tool.</p>
<p>1. Publish a large quantity of articles.  Many people are under the mistaken impression that they can publish only a few articles and that is good enough. The reality though is that the more you publish the better and you will need to publish at least 50 articles in order to see any visible results.</p>
<p>2. Include a powerful signature file at the bottom of your articles. Make sure to tell your readers who you are but to also include a call to action with an invitation to grab a freebie of some kind or another action step for the reader to take.</p>
<p>3. Post on heavy traffic sites. Although this may be obvious. It can be more difficult to do than to say. Getting even one article on a very popular site can generate more traffic for your business than 100 articles on less popular sites.</p>
<p>4. Use targeted keywords. Your articles will be much more successful and generate quite a few more leads for you, if you do some keyword research first and you make sure to use the keywords that have a lot of searches for the article’s topic.</p>
<p>5. Include 1-2 live links in the body of the article whenever allowed. This can increase the SEO of your keywords and can also increase the likelihood that your readers will visit your website.</p>
<p>6. Link to your articles on your website or blog. This can not only provide them with increased visibility but also with increased search engine rankings.</p>
<p>7. Share your articles on Facebook and twitter. People will read them and it provides value to your friends and followers.</p>
<p>8. Share your articles on message boards.  By doing this you will ensure more publicity and you can gain valuable feedback about changes you may want to make to your <a href="http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/articles" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/articles';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">articles</a>.</p>

<br />
Do you have an effective social networking plan in place? If not, you are like 95% of people using social networking. They are using these sites because they are popular and fun, but they do not have a clear written plan to help them use social networking effectively.  Here are ten steps you can take to change that for you and to make sure that you do have an effective social networking plan in place.</p>
<p>1.	Decide what your social networking goals are. Write down these goals and make them specific. Avoid being too specific since numbers are difficult at best to achieve with social networking.  Examples of good goals include the number of new people that you will connect with per day, the number of new friends you will add etc.</p>
<p>2.	Determine which social networking sites you will use.  Most people cannot effectively use more than two or three.  Make one site your main focus and then use the other one or two on a regular basis without letting them consume your life.</p>
<p>3.	Determine where most of your target audience hangs out. In some cases it may be <a href="http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/marismith" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/marismith';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">facebook</a>, or it may be twitter, or myspace, or squidoo, or facebook groups or a combination thereof.  Then develop a plan to spend the majority of your time where the people in your target market are.</p>
<p>4.	Write down your social networking plan. Divide your action steps up according to daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly actions.</p>
<p>5.	Use a timer when working on your social networking in order to avoid wasting time.  Determine how much time you have available and then stick to it. </p>
<p>6.	Use a printed out checklist when marketing on social networking sites. Check off each action step as you complete it.</p>
<p>7.	Make revisions when necessary but commit to working your plan without giving up or making too many changes. </p>

However, there are so many ebooks out there that the process is harder than it seems at first glance. Here are seven steps you can follow to increase the likelihood that people will read and respond to your ebook.</p>
<p>1.	Choose a popular niche topic.<br />
This is crucial to your ebook’s success.  The more specific the niche the better it is. You want to stay away from broad niches such as home business and network marketing. While you can certainly write an ebook on these topics, you need to find a specific niche from within that broader topic that you can target your ebook to. </p>
<p>2.	Do research to determine what is already out there.  What can you improve upon?<br />
A great way to create an ebook that everyone will want to read and that will get results for you, is to find an ebook that is already written and then to take that ebook and to change 40-50% of it.  Reword portions of it.  Take out parts that you think are not helpful. Add a few new chapters and do anything else to it that you think will make it better and more helpful to your target audience. </p>
<p>3.	Survey your already existing list and audience.<br />
If you already have an email list and a following on facebook, <a href="http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/marismith" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/marismith';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">twitter</a> or other social networks then you can survey your audience and find out what they are looking for in an ebook. Be specific. Tell them you are writing an ebook and ask them what they would like to learn and read about.</p>
<p>4.	Break up the text with pictures.<br />
Nobody likes reading ebooks that have only text.  Include 1-2 captivating and interesting pictures per page to grab the attention of your readers and to encourage them to keep reading.</p>
<p>5.	Use captivating and interesting copy.<br />
Copy is one of the major things that determines who is successful online and who is not.  Learn to write well and to use words that grab the attention of your reader and of potential readers.</p>
<p>6.	Tell your readers why your ebook is different from the thousands of others out there.<br />
There are so many ebooks available for people to read now that if you want anyone to read yours then you need to make yours unique and you need to communicate its uniqueness to your audience.</p>
<p>7.	Encourage others to share your ebook.<br />
Find ways of making it easy for them to share your ebook. Experiment with things such as including a page inside your ebook inviting your readers to give it away to whomever they please, giving away your ebook on your website without an opt-in being required or posting part of your ebook on your blog with social media sharing buttons located right by it. </p>

<p>When you meet a Golden Retriever they will no doubt come up to you and try to lick your hand, offer to shake your paw or try to jump up on you to say hello, come and play with me.  </p>
<p>Golden Retrievers are very friendly and they want to get to know you from the very moment that you are first introduced to them. </p>
<p>Do you take the time to get to know your <a href="http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/marismith" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://annalaurabrown.com/index.php/marismith';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">facebook</a> friends? Do you say hello to each new friend? Or are you in too big of a hurry to add friends in massive numbers so that you can increase your numbers in order to make you look good? What happens when a Golden Retriever sees a large group of people? The friendly dog will go to each person and wag its tail, roll over and wait to be petted, jump up or extend its paw of friendship.  Do you do the same thing with your facebook friends? What can you do to make sure that you let each friend know that you care about and appreciate them?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.annalaurabrown.com/Golden-retriever-2.jpg"> </p>
<p>What about this sweet and innocent face of a baby golden retriever? Do you really want to get to know your friends and to develop relationships with them? Or do you just see a $ because you want to sell them something or recruit them into your business? </p>
<p>Goldens are non-judgmental. They seek to be friendly and get to know everyone no matter who they are. They like to play and to give before they receive. They will love you and play with you no matter who you are and what you may want from them. </p>
<p>They give first and then receive. Are you giving first on facebook?  If not, you need to come up with ways to give first. </p>

<p>There are many ways to do this. Here are just a few:</p>
<p>1. Say hello to anyone new and offer to help.</p>
<p>2. Offer a free report, eBook, video or other free item of value. However, this one can easily get blown out of proportion since you need to make sure that you are not just spamming people’s walls with these. It is therefore best to offer your free report or ebook like a signature file at the end of a content filled article or blog post via your notes application.</p>
<p>3. Develop a relationship before offering to sell something.</p>
<p>4. Stay connected with your friends new and old by sending them a hello message, checking out their blog or website and asking them a question about it or writing a cheerful message on their wall. </p>
<p>5. Repost links on your wall of the content of others that you find valuable and interesting.</p>
<p>6. Comment on photos, statuses and other things posted by others. Offer good uplifting comments.</p>
<p>7. Take the relationship offline and get to know your friends outside of social networking. </p>
<p>8. Use the chat feature to be friendly and communicate with some of your friends from time to time.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.annalaurabrown.com/goldenpuppies.jpg"></p>
<p>Golden Retrievers do not need to be taught how to be friendly. They are cute, cuddly and fun even from the time they are first born.  As humans we too know how to do these things. Consider how easily we made friends as children. However, for some reason when we get online in social networks such as facebook too many of us forget how to be friendly and fun because we heard that people are making tons of money on facebook so we focus only on the money.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.annalaurabrown.com/goldenspool.jpg"></p>
<p>Goldens also like to play and to have fun. When using facebook to build your business, you need to be careful though that you are not playing too much. Learn how to have fun and show your personality and be you without wasting time. Some great ways to do this include:</p>
<p>1.	Telling real life stories that people can relate to. These can include funny stories or embarrassing moments.<br />
2.	Posting pictures of your everyday life for others to see.<br />
3.	Posting videos from parties and events that you attend.</p>
<p>Marketing on facebook can be a blast and you can meet tons of people you would not otherwise meet and you can grow your business like crazy if you embrace more of the qualities of a Golden Retriever and learn to say hello, build relationships and be friendly first.</p>

<p>Starting a <a href="http://www.scentedcandlesclub.com/partyplanbusiness.html">home party business</a> can be lots of fun and very profitable. However, in order for your home party business to turn out the way that you want it to be, you need to make sure that you get started on the right foot and that you partner with the right home party company. Here are some questions you should ask before you start a home party business.</p>
<p>1.	What products do I really enjoy and do I believe that I could sell these at parties for several years and still enjoy them even after hundreds of parties featuring the same product line?</p>
<p>2.	How many parties will I be required to host each month, or quarter in order to stay active? Some companies have high requirements and you need to make sure that you can continue to keep going even when it is hard.  Other home party businesses do not have number requirements and hosting home parties may even be an option rather than a requirement. Which one of these suits you best?</p>
<p>3.	Who do you know that will help you get started with your first few home parties? Already knowing who you can count on to assist you in getting your home party business started will make it much easier for you to succeed.</p>
<p>4.	How much product do you have to sell or purchase each month or quarter? If the amount is too high you may find it difficult to keep up and the stress may eventually cause you to quit.</p>
<p>5.	Is the company I am considering joining a solid one? Will they still be here a few years from now? What kind of support will they give me? It is crucial to spend enough time evaluating any home party business company that you are going to join and to make sure you choose the right one for you.</p>
<p>6.	How will I be paid? Some companies require you to buy all of your inventory up front and in some cases you have to even pay for it at retail price and then you are reimbursed the difference between retail price and wholesale price at the end of the month.  Although these companies can be great opportunities for some people, you will need to have high cash flow in order to maintain this kind of a business. Other companies sell to you at wholesale price or let you order only after the product is sold. These are easier for the part time person or for someone with less cash flow to maintain.</p>
<p>7.	What other options exist for building your home party business? Are you able to also do fundraisers, shows, person to person selling, the internet and other ways of selling? Or are home parties really the only option for building a business?  The more options you have available to you for building your business the better. </p>
