How do I choose a business?....There are so many....

When I evaluate a company, I look for these key points. Keep in mind, when I join a company, my #1 goal is to make money and to do it legitimately. I do not want to hurt anyone or rip anyone off. This is what I’ve learned and these guidelines will help you determine what company is right for you.

If you are not making at least 75% of the upfront commission when you make a sale, forget it. This means that you are doing all the work and the company and/or the person above you is making all the money.

If you have to have 1000, 10,000 or 20,000 people in your organization before you make any real money. DO NOT Join. Most people will NEVER get there.

If they teach you to hold home parties and invite all your friends. Run away fast.

If they have a sales pitch 2-3 times a day and only 2-3 training classes per week. This means that the company is more interested in selling you than training you how to make money long term

If you can’t break even or get into profit with 3 sales, forget it.

If you can’t speak with the owners or the corporate office via phone or webinar, Forget it. I like to know who I am doing business with before I will do business with them.

If it is a start up or in pre launch, forget. The chances of these companies becoming the next Amway is about as good as winning the lottery. At least with the lottery, you have a chance to win once or twice a week. You might as well go to Vegas and blow your money on a good time. At least you’ll have some great memories, see a great show and have a great meal.

These are not all the rules for success on the internet, but this is a great guideline to follow when evaluating an internet company. Use these guidelines to help you narrow down your choices for choosing a company that best fits yours goals.

Beware of the "Pre Launch" or "It’s Brand New"

Pre launch or it’s brand new is one of the oldest tricks in the book. I know because I have fallen for it so many times. My very first program was a program that promoted multiple income streams. After trying about 4 different programs my first year on the internet and having some success, but never the huge numbers I read about. I started looking for the big score, so I joined every program that was in pre launch or that just started. I thought to myself, if I could just get in early, then maybe I would be one of the people that you read about. All I learned is that most people jump into a program with no intent of staying for any length of time. They ride the wave for 2-3 months and move on to the next pre launch program.

If you are a loyal person and your sponsor gives you a good reason or excuse, "I call it a sales pitch" on why they are leaving and going to this new and improved company, you probably will feel bad if you do not follow your sponsor and you will feel like you let your sponsor down. They make you feel obligated to jump ship with your sponsor AND THEY MIGHT EVEN MAKE YOU FEEL STUPID IF YOU DON’T. So you follow them. I have done this too, but after doing this 2-3 times, you realize that your sponsor will continue to do this to you every 2-3 months, leaving broke and broken hearted.

The best sponsors are loyal sponsors. They stay in a program and work the program. This is the only way to make real money long term. If you are trying to make a name for yourself on the internet, you must have long term success. The only way to have long term success is to commit to a company and work that company long term. Just ask internet trainer "Dani Johnson" She’ll warn you of these people too. This is not a plug for her, but in my opinion, Dani Johnson is the best internet marketing trainer on the planet.

Think about it….If you are an employer, would you ever hire a person that has had 3-4 jobs in a 12 month period. Unless it was seasonal work, their resume’ would be thrown away and laughed at. So, if your sponsors resume’ looks like a high school seasonal employee, run as fast as you can.

Rank high in Google!

Site Targeted MLM Lead Generation With Google Adwords

Google is the largest, most often used search engine on the planet and for good reason. It provides searchers with the most relevant results hence why every advertiser wants their little stake in Googles domain. Traditionally getting your website listed in the search engines was a daunting task involving time consuming search engine optimization and months and months of building up links to your website and everything else that goes into getting a website naturally listed in the search engines.

Along comes the Google Adwords system to take the pain out of achieving that coveted top ten Google ranking. If you've ever done a Google search then you've probably seen the row of ads along the top of the search results and the additional row of little box ads down the right hand column on your Google search results. These are Adwords ads. As an advertiser you can bid on specific keywords and phrases so that your advertisement will show up whenever someone searches for your specified keyword. You pay anytime someone clicks on your ad.

This is traffic that is actively searching for what you have to offer it's absolutely the best you can get. So what would be the second best traffic that you can get? Well it would have to be from a Google Adwords site targeted campaign. What the heck is that you ask?

Google has a program called Google Adsense. Webmasters can signup for the Google Adsense program and they can willingly display Google Adwords advertisements on their website. Google is smart and spiders their website and will serve ads directly related to the content. So for example if the website was about MLM naturally Google would be serving ads related to MLM. If the website was about personal development then Google will display ads related to personal development. Google will display the ads that are most relevant to the websites content and this is an extremely good thing if you're looking for some inexpensive targeted traffic in a hurry.

With the Google site targeting program you can individually pick the websites that you want your ads to show up on. This is an awesome feature because if you know and understand what sites you should pick you can literally have a gold mine of targeted traffic at your fingertips.

How do you know which sites are the best sites?

It's as simple as doing a few Google searchers for keywords and phrases that are directly related to your product or opportunity. I will guarantee you that at least one of the websites that is naturally ranked in the top ten will be serving Google ads on their website. These are the sites you want to be advertising on.

In a way it's an indirect route to a top ten ranking for any keyword you want. True it's not going to be your website that is ranked in the top ten but your ad will be parked on a website that is!

With the site targeting program you won't actually be paying per click either. They work it out a little differently. You'll be paying a CPM or Cost-Per-Million. This means you will pay a set price (that you set) for every 1000 impressions of your ad. So if you set your ad budget to $3.00 CPM you will be paying $3.00 for every 1000 impressions of your ad regardless of whether it gets clicked or not. You do have the ability to set a daily budget so that your spending doesn't get out of hand.

From the research and testing that I have done the higher your CPM the better ad placement you will have on the chosen website(s). It's important that you are using a well designed lead capture page that is semi-targeted to the website you're advertising on. If you can keep them closely related your conversion to lead will be much higher.

When running a site targeted Google Adwords campaign it's extremely important that you take advantage of the FREE Google Adwords conversion tracking tool. It's very easy to implement and only requires you to paste a very small piece of HTML code onto the "Thank You" or "Confirmation" page that a prospect would see after submitting to your lead capture page.

The Google conversion tracking will breakdown your actual conversion and cost per lead for all of the sites you might have your ad placed on. It won't take long for you to see which ads are pulling the best and which aren't profitable. Then you simply double up your spending on the profitable sites and drop the ones that aren't.

If you're looking for another source of targeted traffic then you need look no further than Google Adwords Site Targeting you'll be happy with the results.

5 Reasons Why Should You Generate Your Own MLM & Network Marketing Leads.

You'll probably agree that in order to succeed with any network marketing or MLM business you are going to need a steady supply of fresh targeted leads who are anxious to get started in a home based business opportunity.

The lead vendors know this little fact too and they can see you coming a mile away!

This can pose a problem for all but the super savvy network marketers and people with extra-ordinary telephone skills. Let's face it... Not everybody has the telephone skills of an MLM superstar... Wouldn't it be nice if you could custom tailor your leads?

Here are 5 of the most popular reasons you may want to consider generating your own mlm or network marketing leads.

1. Quality - When you purchase leads from a leads vendor you are buying a list of names and contact details that has been generated in a very generic way as to maximize the response rate of the lead generators advertising campaign. These leads aren't necessarily generated from the most targeted means of advertising. They are presented with a very simple generic lead capture page selling them on the benefits of owning a home based business such as time freedom, more money, less stress etc... Not necessarily selling them on any specific type of home based business. When you are phoning this type of lead you really don't know what type of business they may be interested in... you're left to sorting and this can be a time consuming procedure. Generating your own leads with a website you have control over changes the game.

2. Responsive - Leads that you have generated on your own are usually much more responsive than leads that you would have purchased from a leads vendor. Most likely they haven't been contacted by several different network marketers and their name hasn't been sold over and over again by some of the leads vendors out there. Leads that you generate are Real-Time - As fresh as you can get and they are exclusive to you (providing the prospect hasn't submitted to other websites). By simply controlling the advertising message displayed on your lead capture page you can custom tailor the leads you'll be generating to your specific product or opportunity.

3. Real-Time Leads - One of the most popular reasons for a network marketer to generate their own leads is that you can receive them in real-time. This is especially powerful for people who are in the higher ticket business opportunities and they need the highest quality lead they can get. Nothing and I'll say that again... NOTHING Beats having company specific real-time leads in your inbox waiting to be contacted about your product or opportunity. When you run a large successful advertising campaign you can literally sit at your computer and watch the fresh real-time leads roll in waiting to be contacted by you and your team.

4. Custom Surveys - When you are the lead generator you have full control over the questions you want to ask your prospects. This can be a very effective way to do some of that dreaded "sorting" that many network marketers hate doing. You can simply qualify or disqualify leads based on the questions they have answered on your lead capture page. *Tip* It is a wise idea to always run a "Comments Or Questions" or "Tell Me About Yourself" form field on your lead capture page. Not every single prospect will fill these fields out but when they do it will be the most valuable piece of information you receive next to their name and number. Anything a prospect is willing to share with you before the initial contact can be your saving grace when it comes to breaking the ice.

5. Cost - That's right... Generating your own leads can actually save you a lot of money if you spend the time to setup some solid advertising campaigns. You'll no longer be paying the middle man or any commissions that so many leads vendors like to attach their lead plans. Like many leads companies on the web you won't have the high cost of employees either. Your cost to generate your own leads will be your advertising costs and any other tools you may be using such as lead capture pages and/or autoresponders. When you are generating leads of the highest quality and you have semi-decent skills at speaking with them you will need less of them to enroll a new business associate. This saves you time and saves you money. Both are very valuable in the fast paced world of network marketing and MLM.

These are just a few reasons you may want to consider learning a little more about generating your own leads for your specific product or opportunity. It could make a difference in how effectively you market your program.
