How To Turn 1 Article Into A Lead Generation Program
A successful lead generation program can be based around just 1 written piece of content. If you use the content in a mixture of different ways, it can produce backlinks from a number of sources to help you rank higher for your chosen keyword. By using this method you can establish a winning lead generation program that should bring fresh prospects to your business. Finish your article with a paragraph containing a call to action and include a hyperlink to your product or opportunity. 2- Publish the article onto your blog, then make a note of the URL of the article itself, not just the page it’s on, by clicking on the article and copying the link in your browser to notepad. 3- Publish your content to about 5 article directories. If you are going to use Ezinearticles, which is 1 of the most effective for getting your article ranked highly, publish there first, but rewrite another version because they only accept originals, then use the blog version for the other directories. Again, copy all the URL’s of these publications into notepad or somewhere else. 4- The re-written article can then be made into a video, which can be distributed to sites like Youtube, Viddler and a few others like these. It doesn’t need to be long, between 2 and 4 minutes is fine, much longer and viewers will turn off, so just get across the relevant points. Mention your keyphrase in the description and then click on the video to get the URL that appears in the browser and copy that with the rest of them. 5- All the URL’s can then be put through a social bookmarking service, that will then list the content URL’s onto dozens of other sites, then finally, use a pinging service and list all your URL’s here as well and this will inform the search engines that you have fresh content, giving you increased rankings for your chosen keyphrases. There you have it, a simple lead generation program all built around 1 article. If you would like a 7 step daily marketing plan that anyone can do and get results from,CLICK HERE or check out TimIdle.com for more Internet marketing tips and strategies.
1- Write about 400-500 words of content (some article directories only accept this length as a minimum), with your keyphrase mentioned a couple of times in the 1st paragraph, then a few times more throughout the article, but don’t over mention as this will be viewed as spammy by the search engines.

Can't Think Of Any Lead Generation Ideas?
It can be hard coming up with fresh lead generation ideas, especially if you are trying to base the content around the same keywords, so you need to come up with a variety of ways of using your subject matter to attract new visitors to your site. You will be surprised how many lead generation ideas you can get from the same topic, just by re-arranging how you put the content together. 1- What do people need to know? Think about the questions that potential leads might ask about the subject, then put them into a list to offer as a free download from your website. This can then be the basis for your article around your chosen keyword, whereby you would mention some of the questions in your content and invite your prospects to find out the answers by visiting your website. This has the advantage of offering value to your visitors to entice them and in return they may read more of your stuff when they reach your site, therefore giving you more chance to promote your business opportunity to them. 2- Put together a free webinar for your visitors. This could be on a technical help issue that you have overcome that others would find useful. You could give visitors a deadline by doing it live, which might create more leads from stiring people into taking action, but if you’re worried about doing a live event, record it beforehand and offer it as a free download, then the promotion can be done over a longer time period to attract a more steady flow of leads to your business. 3- Give away an ebook. Expand on your article by turning it into an ebook. This can contain a lot more content than an article because you can include links to related information. These links could go to, “how to do” video tutorials that you have done, or maybe link to other articles connected to your subject. By giving away more, you are offering more value, which in turn will lead to more trust being shown in you as an authority, which should lead to more people being prepared to invest in you as a person. The main thing is to keep your lead generation ideas fresh and regular. People won’t be inspired to click on your content if you churn out the same old titles all the time, so come up with something original to grab their attention and make them want to find out more.

Are You Struggling With Targeted Lead Generation? Posted on Betternetworker
Posted on Betternetworker. Are You Struggling With Targeted Lead Generation?
Are You Struggling With Targeted Lead Generation?
Regular and effective targeted lead generation is what makes an online business successful. If only it was that simple, we would all be making pots of money. It’s finding a targeted lead generation method that works that’s the tricky bit and this seems to be the area that most people find the hardest to crack, if they only have free marketing techniques to rely on. It’s a different story if you have a large marketing budget to play with, because then it is just a quesion of learning how to set up and operate ad campaigns on the various search engines. However if you are in the home business arena, even this method is harder than it used to be. Up until about a year ago, Google was the number 1 choice to promote you home biz on and the returns if you picked the right keywords were very profitable, but now they have suspended 1000′s of accounts and continue to do so, in a bid to clean out anything associated with “get rich quick schemes”. That still leaves plenty of options such as Yahoo, Bing and Facebook where you can set up PPC campaigns around you chosen niche and keywords. The price you’ll pay for each click very much depends on the keywords and the type of product you’re promoting, but what you have to remember is that on average it takes 100 clicks before you will get a sale, so you need to make sure the profit from each sale is greater than the cost of getting the leads. So for instance, if your cost per click is $1, then 100 clicks would cost you $100, therefore the profit or commission on your sale should be greater than $100, otherwise you’re losing money, which is very common due to people expecting more returns from fewer clicks. The safest option is to start with a very low budget and test the market first. Try spending only $5 per day for starters, test a few different ads and headlines to see which works best, then if the profit ratio is right, you can gradually ramp it up a bit as you rofits allow. Generating free leads takes a lot longer and requires a lot more marketing skills to make it work successfully. If you are starting from scratch with your business, there is no way round it, you have to master these skills if you want traffic to your site. You need to become an expert in 3 areas; 1- Keyword research When these are all being done regularly and correctly, there is every chance that you will have a targeted lead generation system that will bring you traffic on a consistent basis. If you would like a daily marketing plan that anyone can do and get results from, CLICK HERE or visitTimIdle.com for more Internet marketing help.
2- On page optimisation to make certain your titles, URL’s, tags and content are all search engine friendly.
3- Off page optimisation where you create all the backlinks to your site.

How To Put An MLM Business Plan Together. Posted on Betternetworker
Posted on Betternetworker. How To Put An MLM Business Plan Together
How To Put An MLM Business Plan Together
An effective MLM business plan is crucial in the early stages of your online opportunity, as it will keep you focused on what it’s necessary to concentrate on to make your business successful. So, how do you put an MLM business plan together, what questions do you need to ask and what goes into creating one? Most people know the potential earning power of an MLM business, but very few grasp how difficult it is to get right, if you don’t stick to an MLM business plan. Generally, many newbies assume that success will happen overnight and they’re not prepared to tough it out, learn the basics, then make steady progress towards a sustainable income for themselves. Mastering these essential skills should be a big part of your marketing plan and their is no short cut to accomplishing this task, it’s just a question of working your way through the various methods and steps until you are confident that you understand them all. The type of business plan you work to will depend on the niche your business is in, but there are a few key questions that should always be asked when you put your plan together. 1- What do you want to achieve from your MLM business, what is the long term goal? 2- How many hours are you prepared to set aside to make your goals. This could be dictated by whether or not your business is part time or full time? 2- Which type of customer are you targeting with the products you’re promoting? 3- Where will you find these potential customers, which marketing areas will you need to promote into in order to attract them? 4- What makes your business better than the others out there, how will you make yourself stand out from the competition? 5- How much is your marketing and advertising budget? If you have very little set aside, you will have to use free forms of marketing, which can be much harder and take longer to master, before the leads appear, whereas, if you have spare money to start ad campaigns and you know what you’re doing, the results can be instant. 6- When do you hope to be making a profit? Can you sustain yourself and your family long enough to break through and start making the business work for you? Once you have satisfactory answers to these questions, you can then break the plan down into steps that will get you to where you need to be. Don’t be surprised if it takes longer than you thought, this seems to be the case for almost everyone, just don’t become disillusioned when you hit a few setbacks, which more than likely will happen, keep going and push yourself through any obstacles. If you take the attitude that these things are expected to happen and that it’s part of the learning process, it won’t seem like such a big deal when you come across them, then you could be one of the few that makes it to enjoy the fruits of this business.

Is Your MLM Marketing System Working For You? Posted on Betternetworker
Just posted this article onto Betternetworker. Is Your MLM Marketing System Working For You?
Is Your MLM Marketing System Working For You?
If you set up an online business, your best chance of success is to have an MLM marketing system in place. This will stop you from wasting time on uneccessary areas and keep you focused on the daily tasks required to make your business work. However, how effective is the MLM marketing system that you’re currently working to, because there is so much hype floating about that claims to give you fool proof systems requiring very little effort. The reality is that unless you learn the basics of Internet marketing, it’s very hard for anybody new to the business to make any swift progress and start earning a profit from their investment. Everyone would like instant results and it’s very easy to convince yourself that what you’re reading on the sales page is all true, especially if it’s the first time you’ve read this type of ad. You believe it will change your life, you will find financial freedom and that all you have to do is follow the bluprint and 3 months later the success you’ve dreamed of is yours. Of course it is possible, if you know what you’re doing and have access to the right software and a decent marketing budget, but for the majority of us, we get stuck in useless schemes that promise the earth, but don’t deliver. Some of us quickly realise that we’ve made a mistake and seek guidance from a mentor that really can help, whilst others will go blindly from 1 plan to the next, thinking success is only round the corner and that this product is the one to make it happen. To find an MLM marketing system that is going to make your business successful, you need to look for 1 that outlines what you are meant to do on a daily basis. It should start from scratch with all the essential set up lessons, such as buying a domain, hosting, finding a marketing niche, doing keyword research, creating your first blog and learning how to add optimised content, then finally backlinking to create some traffic for your site. Without these skills your business is very unlikely to get anywhere, but most of the opportunities out there fail to fully explain this and they make even less mention of how long it can take to get there, because this would frighten too many people away from investing. I fell for all these traps when I first started and it was about 6 months of getting nowhere and getting myself into even more debt before the penny dropped and I realised the only way was to learn how to generate free leads. It was around this time I found my current mentor and he got me working consistently, combined with more effort, on an MLM marketing system that I could easily do and get results from. His goal and mine is to simplify the web into a 7 step daily formula, so that you feel like you’re making progress each time you accomplish another step and you’re not getting bogged down with too many things going on in your head at any one time.

What To Look For In A Travel MLM Opportunity. Posted in Betternetworker
Just posted this article to Betternetworker. What To Look For In A Travel MLM Opportunity
What To Look For In A Travel MLM Opportunity.
The travel industry in the US alone generates billions every year, so a lot of people are looking into travel MLM businesses as a way to financial freedom. However, as with any other online business, there are loads of scams to fall prey to, so what should you check if you fancy starting a travel MLM opportunity. Below I’ve put together a check list on how to evaluate a travel MLM business opportunity. 1- Find out who the parent company is behind the product. How long have they been trading? Do they have a proven track record? Do they belong to any credible organisations like the Travel Marketing Association, Better Business Bureau, or the Direct Selling Association? 2- When you look into the track record of the company, find out where the revenue stems from. Is it from travel products or from recruiting. Clearly it should be a mixture of both, but if it is predominantly from recruiting, that’s not a good sign, as it means the end product may be weak. 3- Check out the compensation plan. Is it easy to understand and do you receive a fair percentage of the sales as a distributor? How quickly can you start to earn, you don’t want to be waiting months because your upline has taken the majority of your sales commission. Ideally, you want a plan that splits your sales 50/50 with your upline, then you benefit from the hard work you’ve put in. 4- How big is the signing on fee? Is there a monthly membership fee? Do you have to buy any physical products, the chances are unlikely in the travel industry MLM businesses. 5- Is there an efficient system in place to handle all the travel customer business, because you need to know that they are being looked after, as this will ensure the long term survival of the business as much as the recruiting side. 6- Make sure you find out exactly what you will be promoting through your business. What kind of travel opportunity is it? It could focus on time shares, vacation clubs or maybe it’s price driven, so be comfortable that it’s something you can market positively. In other words, “will anybody buy it”, if it wasn’t for the fact it was attached to a business opportunity? 7- Who is your sponsor? What experience do they have and are they prepared to help you establish your business? Will they be honest of the task ahead of you, because this business isn’t easy and your success may take awhile, so it will depend on your determination to learn new skills and see it through as well as guidance from your mentor. 8- Will the product work regardless of the economy or the whims of fashion? Will it stand the test of time, because the best years of any MLM are when it matures and your downline has grown to the extent where you are getting regular residual incomes, even if you’re not involved as much. 9- Is the model duplicable? How simple will it be to recruit others? It needs to be a business model that anyone can do and get results from, as long as they put the effort in and learn how it works. 10- Does your travel MLM company offer comprehensive and effective training on how to generate leads and sponsor potential recruits? This should cover mindset, leadership and marketing techniques for your best chances of success.

Why You Should Use MLM Forums In Your Marketing. Posted on Betternetworker.
Some more marketing help posted on Betternetworker. Why You Should Use MLM Forums In Your Marketing.
Why You Should Use MLM Forums In Your Marketing.
Network Marketing is all about building relationships and a great place to do this is on MLM forums. It doesn’t matter which opportunity you’re promoting, the relationship should always come before the product is put in front of people and by using MLM forums you can acheive this and gain backlinks from the search engines if you do it right. The first thing to do is find out which MLM forums are related to your niche, because there is no point getting involved in discussions that have nothing to do with your opportuntiy, as the users are very unlikely to turn into prospects. A simple Google search using the keywords related to your business should bring up a list of suitable forums to join, so for instance you could put in “home business forums” if that was your niche. Your profile and signature is the next crucial thing to get right. Make sure you fill out as much detail as you can about yourself, because when people come onto forums they will check out your personal profile before they decide to connect with you. Remember that most people will only join you if they feel they know you, they like you and above all, they trust you. Your signature is the way you can gain backlinks from the forum to your site. Not all forums will allow hyperlinks, but any that do, make the most of the opportunity by leaving a hyperlink in one of the words in your signature message, that links back to an article on your site. Remember to use the URL of the actual article title itself and not just the page it’s on, as this will be much more effective as a backlink for the search engines to pick up on. Once you are set up you can start to engage in discussions with people, which means not only will you make connections with people, but you will also discover any trends or hot topics in your niche. This should generate some good article topics to write about, especially if you can provide answers to what people are searching for. The golden rule is not to spam anybody, you’ll most likely get blocked if you attempt this, so the best bet is to spend most of your time answering questions and making connections with people who posted those questions, then the rest making friends with those interested in your niche. Relevance is what it’s all about, so understand the conversation and reply with something helpful that adds to the thread of what people are talking about. MLM forums are a fantastic way to build relationships, promote your brand identity and develop alliances into leads for your home business. However, it doesn’t end there, you need loads of leads from a variety of sources and a marketing plan in place to help you to achieve it.

How To Choose Suitable MLM Compensation Plans. Posted on Betternetworker.
Posted on Betternetworker 4.5.11. How To Choose Suitable MLM Compensation Plans.
How To Choose Suitable MLM Compensation Plans.
They are loads of different combinations of MLM compensation plans to choose from and a lot of them seem very complicated to get your head round. To find MLM compensation plans that will work for you involves a mixture of the plan itself and the product it’s linked to. The compensation plan should be simple to understand and weighted in the favour of the person who has made the sale, because the problem with many of them is that your upline gets the lion’s share, leaving you with very little if you happen to be a long way down the line. This means you can end up waiting months before your first revenue starts to show and this could be the difference between success and failure if your cashflow is tight, like it is for the majority of newbies out there. However, you have to factor in the product you are selling. You may find the most generous plan in the world, but if no one wants to buy into the product, you’re not going to make a living out of it, so it needs to be something that fufills a problem or provides a service that people want. Likewise, you need to pick a product or service that you believe in, as you need to be able to get fired up about what you’re promoting every day, otherwise when you hit a few hurdles, which you inevitably will in the early stages, you’ll quickly give up and quit because your enthusiasm and belief has already dried up. The crucial thing is to look into every aspect of the opportunity. Check out your mentor, are they easily accessible for help, do they offer training? Is the company behind the product reputable and successful, can they show you plenty of satisfied members? Is the compensation plan realistic and fair, how long will it take to get the business on a safe footing? I’ve had experience of a couple of really good compensation plans, that were both weighted in favour of the recruit. The first was called “Get paid today” which is where you receive the full retail sale price of the product directly from the person you sold it to, then you pass on the wholesale price to the parent company and the difference is yours to keep as commission. This way you get paid immediately following the sale and you’re the one being rewarded for the hard work, instead of your upline. The other plan, which I’m currently in, is known as the “Perpetual Leverage Compensation Plan” and this model is used in many other home business opportunities. The beauty of this plan is that it rewards all members the same amount at each level, so the downline get the same amount from each of their sales as the guy at the top. The ability to earn a substantial residual income comes from when the people you recruited start to make sales as well, because you get 50% of the commission on offer for each of their sales. So, if you had 10 team members, you would have the income from all their recruited members, plus all the new ones you were bringing on board as well. Both these MLM compensation plans, plus plenty of others work really well combined with a sound back end product to generate the sales, so it’s just down to your research to find the most suitable for your business.

For Most People An Online MLM Business Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be. Posted on Betternetworker
Posted on Betternetworker, an article about the realities of biz opps. For Most People An Online MLM Business Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be.
For Most People An Online MLM Business Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be.
Has your experience of an online MLM business been a huge disappointment? You start off thinking you have found the road to riches and you’re all fired up by what you believe to be a life changing investment, only to find that it’s far from simple to be successful with an online MLM business. The promises of easy money and few hours is hard to resist, but the reality tends to be that these types of schemes are nothing but hype, however it doesn’t stop people falling for them, again and again. So, you convince yourself that this is the one, sign up for the program and wait for the magic to happen. Quite often there is a monthly membership to pay out and by the time you’ve met this payment, there’s usually nothing left for marketing, since the majority of newbies have no capital behind them and are looking for a quick fix. You then turn to your sponsor hoping for help, after all they made some bold promises to you when they were after your money, but most of them you either never hear from again or they just tell you to stick to the program and it will come good in the end. Generating free traffic and sponsoring people can take months of hard, sustained effort, with loads of marketing and technical skills to be learned along the way if you’re starting from scratch, so don’t be fooled by the sales pages that promise $10K after your first month, because it’s highly unlikely it will happen. Some of you will grit your teeth, work harder and make it through, but the rest will usually quit after 2 or 3 months, through being totally disillusioned or going broke and not having the drive to carry on. I’m writing this not to try and put you off, I love being in the online MLM business, but more as a reminder of what can happen and what you should expect if you’re thinking of taking the plunge and going into Internet marketing of some sort. There’s plenty of MLM businesses that really do work and they can give you a fantastic lifestyle, you just have to pick the good ones. This usually comes from a combination of the right product and finding someone who is willing to stick with you and teach you how to build your business. So check out the person behind the opportunity, find out the type of community you will be joining, do they help each other, can you easily contact your mentor when things don’t go according to plan. If everything is transparent and all the members are working as a team and you can see genuine success stories, then the signs are good and the chances are the opportunity will work for you. If you’re prepared to work hard, can take direction well and be patient with your online MLM business, then the rewards will come and you will enjoy all the highs that Internet marketing can bring to your life.

Are You Struggling With Your Work From Home MLM Business?
Do you know what you’re doing with your work from home MLM business? Have you got to the stage where you ought to be? If the answer is NO, it’s probably down to a combination of being confused, overwhelmed and not having enough time to devote to your work from home MLM business.
It’s a common problem, you seem to work very hard, in fact at the beginning you seem to spend every spare minute on your business, but no matter how many hours you put in, the results you’re expecting just don’t appear to be happening. This gets you confused and frustrated because you know the Internet works, as there are 1000′s of others out there who have made a dream lifestyle for themselves, so why isn’t it working for you?
This makes you research even more into supposedly winning techniques to try and find the answer, but you end up attempting to juggle so many different ideas that the result is information overload. You now have so much stuff inside your head that you don’t know which bits to process and usually what happens is that you jump from one thing to the next, without making any of these methods successful.
At this stage you’re still positive that success is only round the corner, you just have to keep going and everything will be OK, when in reality, deep down you’re starting to question whether you can make it through.
If any work from home MLM business is to succeed it has to have a set daily structure that gets results, so you need to know which bits to concentrate on to ensure that this will happen.
You have to master the basic marketing methods one at a time, become an expert in each one until the results start to show, then move on to the next step. This is where it’s crucial to follow a daily formula that has been tried and tested by others, then you can be confident that if you stick with the bluprint, it will work.
By working rigidly to a plan, it stops you from deviating into other areas and wasting your time on stuff that’s not relevant to the progress of your business. It should also save you money, by not tempting you into trying the quick fix of buying useless “overnight success products” that never work, but do put a drain on your finances.
The type of plan you pick will very much depend on the mentor you’ve put your trust in. Do they have a training plan ready that you can follow and be successful with, because it’s no good expecting to earn money from day 1, it just won’t happen, so they should explain how the process works and what you need to know to make it happen.
I was in exactly the same position for the first 6 months or so and ended up wasting a load of time and money I didn’t have, on products and methods that were useless, but luckily I found a great mentor just in the nick of time and he’s steered my business through to success. I just wish it had happened a lot sooner, so try not to fall into the traps I found, however tempted you might be.
There is no substitute for regular and persistent effort, combined with a proven daily marketing plan.

Use These Online Marketing Promotion Methods To Make Your Business More Visible.
Visitors have to be able to find your site, so using online marketing promotion is crucial to the success of your business. The variety and number of online marketing promotion techniques you implement, comes down to how much time you have available to devote to it and the skills you have in each area.
Try some of these as part of your daily marketing plan.
CONTENT
Users will keep visiting your site if you provide them with regular and fresh content. This could be in the form of articles with news updates, help topics, product reviews, or you could add videos, photos, maybe include a few surveys or opinion polls that visitors could get involved with. All these things keep the site active and if you optimise each piece of content with your keyphrases, then the search engines will promote you up the
rankings.
FREEBIES
Always a great way of attracting new business and keeping your current customers coming back for more. You could offer regular promotions where there might be a giveaway, discount coupons or possibly a prize winning competition of some sort. Not only does it attract new users, but it also gives you a reason to contact your existing customers and encourage them to check out your site again.
SURVEYS
You can promote your site more effectively if you know what your customers are thinking, so surveys are excellent for this, as you can gather important info that will improve your business. However, remember to keep them short and simple, nobody can be bothered with endless and complicated questions, but if it has to be longer, give people an incentive for filling it in.
AWARDS AND TESTIMONIALS
Including awards and testimonials on your site gives visitors confidence that you can deliver what they are looking for. Dedicate a page to this topic, but also highlight the recent ones somewhere on your homepage and this will immediately build up trust in anyone who is searching your site for the first time. Getting involved with local newspaper or magazine awards is a great way to promote your brand and bring attention to your business.
CHAT ROOMS AND FORUMS
If your site involves technical training or complex products, you could provide a forum or chat room where customers could find help or offer advice to other users. This would provide a big incentive to new and existing customers if they knew that there was somewhere to receive ongoing support if they had any issues that needed to be sorted out.
