Successful Internet Marketing Strategies For Success
Posted by Paul Graham in MLM Wednesday, 29 September 2010 08:03 No Comments
As an internet marketer or business person, you simply can’t afford to ignore the 2billion people online who you can market to, and the associated internet marketing strategies you’ll need to do that effectively. The internet is the most efficient means of spreading word about your product to your target audience. The internet is also the cheapest way to attract the attention of huge numbers of people from all over the world, something that was unthinkable only 25 years ago. In fact to be a success in business today, most businesses rely on some type of online marketing.
Marketing online must always start with your product or service. You need to make sure that you are going to be providing the world with something that they need, sometimes this is a product or service that no one has ever heard of before, but once they do, if you’ve done a good job, then people should wonder how they ever got by without it. The product or service you are going to be marketing can be something that is already widely known and used, but which you have improved on. This is very common within the sphere of internet marketing.
After you are satisfied with your product choice or creation, you need to get started on your marketing plan. The first step of this is the creation of a small website or blog. If your finances are tight, you can design the website yourself using a service such as Squarespace for example, however if you have the funds available, you will want to consider having the website designed by using a professional web design service such as freelancer for example which costs more but can have a more polished look.
When your website is complete, you’ll want to have your friends and family check it out and to act as sort of beta testers. It’s really important that your testers provide you with a brutally honest opinion of the site, more so if the aim is for your website to be your mid-long-term livelihood. Whilst video is great customers actually respond best when the website has a great deal of written content that tells them about the product and/or service you are marketing.
Once you have your website up and running, you need to start developing your internet marketing strategies. There are two areas of marketing strategies that you seriously need to think about. The first is your short term marketing strategies and the second is your mid- long term marketing strategies. The more thought and research you put into developing these strategies the better your chances of success.
The purpose of any short term marketing strategies should be to increase the amount of traffic to your blog or website. The theory is that the more people who visit your website, the more chances you have of making a sale. Useful short term marketing strategies include; paid advertising that promotes your website via Google Ad words, or a similar PPC program, plus being an active member on forums related to your niche, and most importantly search engine optimisation which can be done cost effectively using a service such as ineedhits.com.
The short term marketing plan you come up with is going to be geared towards generating a sudden rush of traffic to your website. The idea is that even if the visitors don’t purchase anything that day, they will have at least developed knowledge of your product or offerings. With a little luck they will have even bookmarked the site. Short term marketing strategies include forum participation, paid advertising (such as Google Ad Words and other forms of CPC), and search engine optimisation. Some other sure-fire solutions for your mid-long term online marketing campaign include social networking, article marketing, list swaps and giveaway events.
However the great thing about internet marketing is that nothing is set in concrete. It is a field that promotes creativity and versatility. The most important ingredient is simply determination because if your marketing doesn’t seem to be working as well as you hoped, all you have to do is try something new and rest assured you will most certainly get there in the end.

The commission that you get paid will depend upon the product and the website or company you are promoting. If you want to know how to make money with affiliate marketing, consider some of these basic steps.
It is important to think about a niche in which you want to operate first. Affiliate marketing requires that you choose a specific market in which to work in. If you fail to do this and you try to promote products to all sorts of different types of people then you will not see a great deal of success.
Once you have chosen a suitable niche market you then need to set up a website. These days it is very easy to set up a website without having to invest any real money whatsoever. You may have to pay a little bit of money for a host, but this shouldn’t break the bank.

Fact Or Fiction For This Multilevel Marketing Company With Tony Rush And Avant.
Posted by Coach Al Rod in MLM Monday, 13 September 2010 09:19 No Comments
I came across some “buzz” on this company and Tony Rush, one of the people involved with Avant. This new company has a “different” feel to it that will either appeal to you or not.
As for Tony Rush, the same can be said. He is a top leader at Avant and has had much prior success in earning income. However, has he been able to duplicate this success for others on his team?
That’s always a sensitive issue as people tend to gravitate to the GURU leader and often times this is a huge mistake (not a reflection on Rush or Avant). I would say this applies to any company and you’re better off to find a mid-level leader that is experienced and committed but not the actual guru so that you can actually get coaching, team building and first hand training, etc.
At first glance, it really doesn’t seem like a network marketing company as the corporate site http://WeAreAvant.com was very professional and focused on personal development.
If you like Tony Robbins and The Secret then you will most likely connect with this company and their products.
The company launched on May 31, 2010 under the direction of Brent Payne, CEO and founder of the company. He and the prior company enjoyed massive success also in personal development and had a great 8 year run before he sold his interest in the company. After some time off and he has formed Avant.
The business model is direct sales meets network marketing and has 3 basic products including Elevate a 72 day home study course with a DVD, CD’s, a journal, workbook and online features to include coaching, social media and accountability grid.
The course comes with a 72 day money back guarantee which I thought was saying a lot about their product.
The compensation plan is a good mix between what is large upfront income and passive income. The commissions are large enough at the lower level; that people can realistically earn thousands of dollars their first 30-days without being some recruiting superstar.
The plan pays on four levels and there is no auto-ship. This alone is an interesting component when you compare it to say a nutritional MLM that requires you to purchase $250 worth a product a month. In one year that’s $3,000 spent on vitamins or juice and imagine how much that adds up to in just 5 years.
This model will attract more professionals who would normally not give a hoot about MLM and that is key and huge if you think of a wider market that can appeal to more people. I say this because personal development is appealing to a broad audience and the business is not built in the traditional sense with home parties, etc.
The Avant model seems lucrative with a team of 50-100 or 200 people and not the thousands and thousands of people required in the traditional MLM or network to make a substantial income.
Al Rodriguez is a long time entrepreneur having spent 20 years as the owner of a multiple mortgage offices, a real estate franchise and real estate investor. A few years ago he turned this knowledge and began a coaching company for these industries and today has transitioned into helping others accelerate their success in a home based business with a “can-do” style and real world marketing strategies.

Avant Multilevel Marketing Business Review. The Truth About This Compensation Model.
Posted by Coach Al Rod in MLM Saturday, 11 September 2010 08:33 No Comments
Avanta has a “different” feel to it that will either appeal to you or not. I don’t know I this company is right for you or not but here are some things to consider: At first glance, it really doesn’t seem like a network marketing company as the corporate site http://WeAreAvant.com was very professional and focused on personal development.
If you like Tony Robbins, The Secret, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, The Law of Attraction and related information then you will resonate with the company as this is their arena of doing business as opposed to vitamins or juices.
This company launched on May 31, 2010 under the direction of Brent Payne, CEO and founder of the company. A couple of years prior he was the co-owner of another personal development direct sales company that enjoyed massive success for an 8 year run. He sold his interest in the company, took some time off and no formed Avant.
The business model is direct sales meets network marketing and has 3 basic products including Elevate a 72 day home study course with a DVD, CD’s, a journal, workbook and online features to include coaching, social media and accountability grid.
The course comes with an unheard of 72 day money back guarantee which I thought was saying a lot about their product. It seems they really have faith in their product.
The compensation plan is a good mix between what is large upfront income and still has passive income. It offers great upfront money while still has the residual or passive component of an MLM; which I found interesting once I reviewed the actual details. As an example, a $4,000 monthly income is realized by just making one sale per week and that isn’t counting other bonuses or residual income.
The plan pays on four levels and it is basically a uni-level but there is no auto-ship and even though the cost of entry is higher it really is a more affordable business due to the lack of a $150-$250 auto-ship as in a traditional MLM.
Avant model will attract more professionals who would normally not give a hoot about MLM or ever want to promote a lotion, potion or pill as the next awesome solution to mankind. I say this because personal development is appealing to a broad audience and the business is not built in the traditional sense with home parties, etc.
The compensation is pretty straight forward and people can understand it as well as “pick” the level of their involvement. This model does not require thousands and thousands of people like in the traditional MLM or network marketing companies in order to get into a realistic six-figure or multiple six-figure annual income.

Value Of Your Multilevel Marketing Business As A Customer Or Distributor.
Posted by Coach Al Rod in MLM Friday, 10 September 2010 09:54 No Comments
I am referring to the total profit of an average customer over the lifetime that they do business with you. This can include all future sales and upgrades; one-time and passive. This is not the gross sale but the commission earned.
Let’s say the average customer/distributor brings you $10 per sale (ie: 10% of $100 monthly purchase).
They re-purchase 12 times in a year and their average order amount is $100. On each $100 reorder, you make $10 gross profit. We know that an MLM distributor or customer will not be there forever so the “lifetime value” is relative to the average time they might be with you. You can decide what this length of time is but I will use 4 years for this example.
Therefore, you earn $10 commission, per month, per customer/distributor and that’s $120 per year or $480 in 4 years. Does that make sense so far?
How much can you spend to bring in one customer?
If the average distributor earns you $480 over this period of time; then you can gauge what is prudent to spend in marketing in order to acquire this customer or distributor.
So if you could generate these distributors for a cost of $40; then you can add as many as possible and you are in a good position here. Now, before I get any flack on this; I am in no way taking sides on this and it could easily be argued that people in MLM may not be around 4 years as there is too much churn. I will leave that up to you…
One quick note: use this to calculate potential earning. Such as if you had 1,000 distributors and you earned $120 per year, per distributor that would mean ($120 X 1,000) $120,000 in annual earnings If they spent $100 on average and if the true payout of your MLM was 10% (reports indicate that even with check matching bonuses, other bonuses, this and that it’s closer to 5.6% payout).
A separate article will cover product and compensation plan breakage and shed light on the actual payout of plans in MLM. Suffice to say that if the actual payout is closer to the reported averages for MLM at 5.6%, then the above would indicate an income closer to $67,200 annually for this organization of 1,000. Final point about this is the viability that people actually duplicate and if a 1,000 person organization is reasonable in your mind.
1% of MLM distributors think about this. You want to spend everything you can justify to bring in a customer as long as that customer costs you less than they earn you. If you can’t afford to spend more than the entire profit from the first sale, remember you’ll be making money just in a few months from them. Start out spending what your cash flow can justify. After a quarter or several months after their re-order profits come in, then you can step up your ad budget.
A much bigger profit upfront in MLM such as those commissions in business models outside of this profession it has to be consider. In real estate and mortgage we earned large incomes upfront but nothing in the way of residual or passive income. The question is…is there something that can achieve both lucrative commissions upfront and passive income.
This is not only important to your potential income but can determine how much you can justify to spend in marketing to acquire a distributor and even the caliber of that potential business partner.
Imagine passive income but also upfront commissions of $1,000 per distributor and a lifetime value of that same 4 year period of the area of $13,000 to $20,000. Certainly the need to build an organization of 1,000 or more people is not necessary and six-figure income can be had with 100 people; even less.
Add to that the large initial commissions and there is no need to be a sponsoring superstar and just a few upfront commissions can be a much shorter time period to actually earn a decent income which is a complaint of many that say that MLM typically requires 3-5 years to build a decent residual base.
