What is a Pre-Paid Legal Service?

A pre-paid legal service can be compared to having your own lawyer on retainer for any problem that arises. Most people need the advice of an attorney at least once a year. How many people consult one? Not many because the cost of hiring a lawyer usually means a large retainer and an hourly rate, which can become quite expensive.

A lawyer may be necessary if:

• You have received a speeding ticket.
• Are planning to purchase a home.
• Are signing a contract with anyone.
• Are planning to prepare a will.
• Are being sued by someone.

These are just a few of the situations in which you may need the services of an attorney. For a monthly fee you can have access to a law firm that can give you the advice needed for these situations. The great thing is the fee is far less than you would think. Approximately $26 a month can allow you to have your own law firm to consult when legal issues arise.

Providing consultation, contract review, preparing a letter or making a phone call to assist you, trial defense and IRS audits are a few of the services you will receive. In addition, you will have access to many legal forms that you may need. There are several plans available depending upon the state in which you reside. Family plans as well as business plans are available.

How Will Becoming an Associate Benefit Me?

When you decide to open a home based business such as showing people the benefits of pre-paid legal services, you will receive a commission for every person who signs up and becomes a member. All you have to do is talk to them, explain the concept and the benefits they will receive for becoming a member of Pre-Paid Legal.

You will receive the materials needed to get your business started immediately. As well as the support system available from the home office, you will receive marketing supplies, sales materials and the way to use it to create sales and certified training in the field. Support is always available from other associates on your team.

How Can You Become a Representative of Pre-Paid Legal?

The cost is minimal. For $49 you can begin your own home based business. You will receive training showing you how to market the business and how to show people the benefits of having a pre-paid legal membership. There are several marketing options from which you can choose.

The basic selling includes showing people the plan and explaining what it can do for them. Once they see the affordable rates that allow them to have legal services for a variety of life events, you will have no problem enrolling them. When you have done this, you simply send in the enrollment to be processed at the corporate office.

Your commission check will be sent directly to your bank account if you choose. The earnings potential is entirely up to you. The number of enrollments you get are based on how hard you want to work at selling this plan. If you want, you can even get paid on a daily basis.

Tips for Growing this Business

One of the ways of growing this business to realize even more income is to recruit members. When you recruit people to start selling the pre-paid legal plan, if you end up with three people sponsored by you that have bought a membership, you will then be an Executive Director. Then these three people sponsor three more people who buy a membership. As the number of people who sponsor someone else grows, your income grows because you will receive a commission every time one of the people under your sponsorship makes a sale.

The income potential can be quite lucrative if you decide to work hard enough to attain the top level. This can work as well if you sell 75 memberships a month. The hours you want to invest in the business will determine the income you have the chance to achieve.

What is Numis all about?

Founded by Ian Cordell, Chris Kent, and Jake Kevorkian, 3 of the top marketers in the Network Marketing industry, Numis Network started making waves in August 2009. Numismatic gold and silver coins bring a fresh new concept to the MLM industry that I personally love. In a market that is full of selling magic weight loss pills, energy drinks, and a bunch of other products that really don’t help anyone, it’s nice to see they provide a product that actually brings real value and benefits to peoples lives.

Why silver and gold coins?

People love to collect coins and in today’s economy, it is increasing in popularity. As Mike Mezack, the company’s expert Numismatist, says, “If you are going to collect something, it might as well be money!” Gold and silver coins are extremely profitable, don’t have a “shelf life”, and retain their value. What’s not to like about that? Plus, the coins they sell all come with an MS70 certification which is the highest certification in the industry.

How much does it cost to join the business?

The Numis Network has 2 options for you to choose from when joining the business opportunity. The first option is the Basic Starter Kit which costs $75, plus $10 a month to maintain your website. In the Basic Kit you get presentation materials, a company specific website for you to use to help promote your business, and a back office business center to keep track of everything. At first this might look like an attractive option since it’s a low cost start up and very low monthly cost after that, however, in order to qualify for commissions you will need to generate a minimum of $100 in sales per month. In addition, you won’t be able to earn several other generous bonuses the company offers.

This is where the second option comes in. For $495 plus a $99 per month autoship program you can get the Training Qualified Fast Track Complete Package. This includes everything in the Basic Kit plus your first Silver Eagle Coin, a collector box for your coins, training videos, an online marketing system called Numis BBS, a separate special lead capture website and an automatic email marketing campaign for the people who filled in their information from your lead capture page. My favorite part is the email marketing campaign because not many company’s offer this added feature to their distributors. I also like they let you customize these emails and allows you to create your own. The one downside with their marketing system is that it’s not customizable and you can’t add any of your own videos.

It’s important to be able to have something you can customize because the only way to really be successful with your own business is by marketing yourself, not the business. It’s a proven fact that company generated websites don’t work. If you ask any of the network marketing guru’s out there if they built their business promoting a company generated site everyone of them will tell you no. This is because people will only buy your product or join your business if the know, like and trust you and you can’t achieve this with a generic website.

If you plan on joining a company like Numis that doesn’t provide you with a customizable website you will have to find a marketing system or create your own website from scratch. Of course there are tons of options out there so spend some time doing research on what fits you and your personality best before you spend a single cent of your hard earned money.

One thing that you will have to realize if you are getting involved with a funded proposal is that all of your ideas will have to change immediately. You might have some fundamental business knowledge at this point, but this will have to change if you want to be successful. Basically, you will not be trying to sell your opportunity immediately, as this will not be done until later.

Rather than selling the business opportunity, what you will be doing is selling inexpensive products to your prospects that you know they can use. In many cases, these products will be information that can be used by your prospects to further their own marketing endeavors. A small trick is to include information that can be used in conjunction with the business opportunity that you will be offering later on. By giving your prospective clients this information, you are actually increasing the quality of the leads that you have, which will definitely be good for business. Eventually, these prospects will turn into your marketers, so you will want them to have as much knowledge as possible of internet marketing.

Another great thing about offering inexpensive products to customers up front is that you will now have a way to keep in contact with them as you lead them towards your end product. This business is all about developing quality leads and once you have convinced a potential customer to invest, it becomes a lot easier to take them the rest of the way with you.

Once someone has already done business with you, that person becomes a much higher quality of lead. This is especially true if the products that you have sold them are actually useful, rather than the useless information that many MLM marketers provide. By selling high quality information, you will immediately become a more trusted individual in this industry, which will aid your success in the future. You will also cease to be a complete stranger to the customer and people are much more likely to do future business with someone that they already have a relationship with.

The next thing that any MLM marketer needs to learn is what to do once he or she has a quality lead. If you have provided someone with the information that he or she wanted, you must make the move to keep this person as a customer and slowly convince this person to purchase your end product. One thing that helps is to provide them with some free information along the way, perhaps in the forms of a newsletter or ebooks. Make sure that the information that you provide them with is just as good as the information that they have paid for, as this will help convince the customer that you are full of great products and information.

Keep in mind that this information is in an investment in your own future, since this person will eventually be selling your end product. Think of this portion of the process as being like teaching future employees how the industry works, so it is definitely worth giving it a try. While not every trainee will end up working with you, the ones that do will be ready to sell your end product.

Throughout this time, you will have been making money and you will not even have sold your end product yet. You can use the cash flow that you are gaining from these small products to continue to market your business and help it grow. Basically, your funded proposal gives you the chance to make money, market your business, and develop quality leads all at the same time. This is why this method has been so popular with the heavy hitters for such a long time.

The first thing that you will want to have is products that will actually sell. This is non-negotiable because without products that people want, you will not attract anyone to your company. If you become recognized, however, as a company that produces great information and genuinely want others involved with the company to succeed, you will have a great deal more success. You cannot always be focused on your next paycheck in this industry because potential customers will generally be turned off by this behavior. You need to put the focus on something else in order to keep people interested in your company and the solution is something that you might not have thought of before.

The basic idea here is that you will brand yourself, rather that the company as a whole. People who are involved with the MLM industry have heard of nearly every type of business opportunity possible and, therefore, there is very little that you will be able to come up with that will impress them. Therefore, they need to be able to trust the person that you are, as well as believe in the opportunity, so it is best to focus on yourself. You should make an attempt to get to know your leads personally and communicate with them on an individual basis. While it might be a lot easier to simply write a sales letter and send it out to as many leads as possible, you will definitely get better results if you take a more personal approach because this is what the public currently wants.

When branding yourself, make sure that you focus on all of the good qualities that you have, as well as the successes that you have had within the industry no matter how small they may seem. Once again, make sure that you develop some personal relationships with people throughout this process, as this will definitely drive your success in the future. At this point, you should not be worried about the growth of the company, but rather about the growth of your connections. The rest will come once you have been positively branded to these people, but it is not the time to focus on your business yet. Of course, it is fine to associate yourself with your company, but do not become an in-your-face type of MLM marketer because this definitely turns people off in a hurry.

Another thing that many in the MLM industry are now doing is completely separating themselves from their companies in an attempt to earn the respect of potential customers. By becoming an active participant in online discussions, without pushing your product, you can definitely become a more well rounded person in the eyes of these customers. They will see you as someone who truly cares about the downline of their company, rather than someone who is in this business to make money. Remember that unless your downline succeeds, your MLM company will not provide you with a residual income. Because of this, it is very important that you get people to buy into your system, but do not force-feed them this information unless they are truly interested in joining.

By making yourself into a more respected member of the online community, your business will definitely grow over time. This is the way that this industry has to be at this point, as too many get rich quick schemes have hindered the reputation of MLM. The truth is that there is money to be made in this industry, but you will have to do things the right way and be prepared to show others your commitment to doing things the right way. Otherwise, you are sure to be just another one of the failed MLM stories that we always hear about.

There entire course is divided in 10 modules. In this MLM Traffic Formula review we are first going to take a look at the content of this course, so that you get a feel of what you actually get:

• 11 Audio CD sets- These are training calls by the experts Tim Erway, Mike and Tom Bell. They will share the marketing secrets and methods of making money online with you. The importance of increased traffic towards your website will also be taught and the ways to increase the same will be discussed.

• 2 Video DVD tutorial sets- Here the experts will show you how to set up your PPC or Pay-Per-Click account and use the Search Engine Optimization to your benefit. Search engine optimization is the most vital thing that determines the traffic to a website. Hence, you are going to understand the intricacies of using this particular technology to get good amount of traffic to your website.

• 220 Page binder- Here Mike has given a written account of his teleconferences and also revealed the exact formula he used for his business.

• Magnetic Sponsoring Affiliate Marketing System is also offered to the buyers

The original price for the MLM formula is $997 but it is available at $297 as the owner has decided to offer a 70% discount! We wanted to find out if it is really worth the money quoted and to our amazement, it proved worthier than we thought it to be. Some people would refer to the course being too expensive but others who have benefited from it might say it is worth the money! Well, at the end of the day, the worth of your investment really depends on how seriously you follow Mike and his course! If you are able to follow everything then you are bound to see the results within a short period of time.

There are a lot of other similar courses which claim to be the ultimate in building your online MLM business but such claims often fall flat on their faces. There are some courses that omit important information about traffic creation or discuss methods that are already popular and the customer is not going to gain any extra knowledge. The vital part of this course is that Mike has discussed about his unique formula or strategies and that is going to give you an edge.

Lastly, in my MLM Traffic Formula review I would like to add that this is a comprehensive training material for enhancing the traffic results. If you want your business to thrive, you will not find a better alternative to MLM Traffic Formula.

Tribes are a group of marketers that help promote each other’s business by commenting on their blog, tweeting about them, digging their articles, giving testimonials, rating and commenting videos on Youtube, and anything else that will help build the names of the people in their group. If done the right way this can be extremely powerful.

Finding people to work with is very easy, all you have to do is ask people you know that are in your own business opportunity, and people that are in groups on your social networking sites like Facebook or LinkedIn. Explain to them that by helping each other you build credibility in other people’s eyes and that’s what grows a solid business in this industry.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do this. The wrong way is to have a small group of 3 people and keep giving each other 2 way link backs. If you are using this technique for SEO marketing, doing it this way will completely defeat the entire purpose of what you are trying to achieve. Search engines hate this and can easily detect this activity, which can get your site blacklisted.

The right way is to get a large group of people, preferably at least 15-20. Then divide people up to help each other. For example, I decide to help promote my friend John’s content, he promotes Suzie’s, and Suzie promotes mine. See how that works? One way linking is how you improve your ranking in search engines. The more people you have in the group, the more one way link strings you can create.

Anyway, Jocelyn was telling me about her TVI Express Presidential Group and how they use the Tribe concept in an unique and highly successful way. Unlike most downline groups or teams in traditional MLM’s where they use original Tribe Marketing to build individual teams, Jocelyn’s team promotes the group and divides new members equally among the team. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a member or how many people you’ve personally recruited either.

If you are new to network marketing or just don’t know what to do, the team will even help you find you something and teach you how to do it. Everyone contributes and everyone benefits. In fact, their team motto is “No one is left behind“.

Does this really work? Just ask Mrs. Jones if it does. In 40 days and for less than a $300 investment, she has a downline of over 100 people, has made all of her money back, and has also received a nice big fat $10,000 check. She personally recruited only a few of her 100 group members and got the rest because the team works in mass together allowing them to build a large team in a smaller amount of time than it would take if each individual person tried to build their groups on their own.

So, form your own group or join Jocelyn’s team and let your results reach heights you never thought possible.

Having a home business can easily take all of your extra time, and although it is important to spend time building you business, it’s just as important to sit back and think about why we are doing this in the first place. It’s to have a fun and happy life with the people we love.

Lately I have fallen into the trap of spending every spare minute I have in front of the computer talking to people about network marketing and building my business. I didn’t really even realize I was doing this until I read Tracy’s article. I feel so lucky I came across it. I recently became engaged and should be spending time with my fiancé and our families. My reason for even having a home business is to create a happy and secure life and I have been putting that all at risk by making our relationship second to my business.

So where do you draw the line? Just how are you supposed to make your business successful without spending all your time building it?

In order to make your business truly successful you have to understand that it’s a long term commitment and not something that is going to happen over night. Most people will burn out long before they reach success if they spend every waking minute trying to achieve that success. However, if you create an organized, consistent plan of action it becomes easier to to get in to a routine which ultimately cuts the amount of time needed to spend on your business, giving you more time to do the things you want to do.

Set a schedule. I know most of you out there have heard this from your upline sponsor but this is definitely a tried and true method to success. Why is it important? An average American works between 40-60 hours a week, tack on commuting time and you have a very limited amount of free time. It’s important to control your time by fully focusing on what you are doing at that moment and not allowing outside distractions.

The first thing you should put on your schedule is time with your family or friends. When you first get home from work, don’t immediately go to your computer to check your email. If you are married, spend 30 minutes with them now to talk about the days events. Fully focus on the person, don’t read the newspaper or have the tv on. Give your undivided attention to get the most out of your time together.

What you schedule next is up to you. You can either spend more time with your family or set a block of time to work on your business. Whatever you decide to choose make sure you are 100% there. Try not to think about your business when you are spending time with your family, and don’t think about your family when you are working on your business. You’ll find that you will be extremely productive and are able to get more done in a shorter amount of time.

It’s important to stick to this schedule. If you don’t create routine you will never be able to achieve lasting success. It takes hard work and commitment and people who are only trying to get rich quick without putting in any work will fail.

Lastly, give more than you get. This applies to both business and family. By giving yourself to people, and by really truly helping other’s you will become the leader that people will flock towards. Your family will be happier, you will be happier, and in the end your bank account will be a happier as well.

At the end of the day, all we have is our friends and family. Remember to spend the time to create real memories, and whether or not you make a single dime in this industry, you will have a happy and meaningful life.

The Trump Network is starting with two products. The first product is a test, called the PrivaTest, and is designed to tell you which supplements you should be taking for the best health possible. The second product is a month’s supply of the recommended vitamins and minerals for you. Each month a box is shipped to your door with premeasured packets for your convenience.

The plan is still the basic MLM business plan that has been around the block a few times. You start your business by invite and for a set price to have samples and marketing materials, then you recruit others to do the same. All direct recruits give you a commission of 4%, their recruits 3%, and so on down the line. Once your recruits start becoming managers, then more money is able to be earned.

The recommended way to start with the Trump Network is the FastStart Way. It costs $497.00, and includes product, marketing materials, and instructional DVDs. The website states that other start up opportunities are available, but one must speak to a recruiter to find out.

The largest advantages to the Trump Network are Donald Trump’s name behind the products and it is a new company. Most people who join new MLMs have the most success with the corporation. Another advantage is that vitamins are a consumable product, so creating a repeat business relationship with your clients is possible, and will help ensure income for the future. The disadvantage that was able to be discovered now is the start up cost of almost $500. While this is considerable less expensive than starting a traditional company, it is still more that what most MLM companies expect from new representatives.

If you are wondering what a blog can do for your business, and are pondering whether or not you should start one, the answer is an emphatic YES, and here are the top reasons that you should do so.

#1 Express Yourself

Putting aside all thoughts of making money, blogging is simply a great way of expressing yourself. Most of us have either got something to say, or we have an opinion that we would like to be heard. Well what better way could there possibly be than adding your comments to an existing blog, or starting your very own bog for others to join in with? No matter what the subject of your blog is, it creates an absolutely gargantuan opportunity to express your thoughts to a worldwide audience. If your subject is topical, thought provoking, or controversial, it can quickly be picked up, and will spread rapidly like a virus.

#2 The Best Marketing Tool

As any internet entrepreneur will tell you, if you can engage a large audience; if you can interest and excite them about your topics and your views, you’ve got it made. No online business can survive or even exist without clients, and it is through online marketing that you can build your client base. A blog is superb way of putting your marketing message across, either as a direct link into the product or service that you are selling, or as a more subliminal message. Once people begin reading and subscribing to your blog, they will build up a trust and respect for you, and once this is established they will become interested in anything you may be involved in, and by pasting back links to your website on your blogs, you are opening the door for a huge amount of traffic coming your website’s way, if your blog becomes well read.

#3 To Help Others

From a more altruistic point of view, many people create blogs as a help for others. Say that you have faced some tough dilemmas, either in your business, or your personal life, and you feel that others who are facing the same or similar problems could benefit through sharing in your experiences. A blog is the perfect way of delivering that information, and it also gives its readers the chance to interact and share their own personal experiences, with you and others. It can help people to know that they are not alone, and that help is at hand.

#4 Establishing Your Expert Credentials

A blog is a fantastic way of establishing your own expertise in a particular sphere. This is an essential step for the online marketer. By sharing your knowledge and experience with others, offering advice and tips etc, you can become known as someone who knows what they are talking about, and readers of your blog will quickly come to believe and to rely on your advice. But this also creates a two way sword, and carries with it a moral responsibility to ensure that the advice you expound is sound. Good reputations take a lot of work and are hard won, but it takes very little in terms of bad publicity to destroy that reputation in no time at all, and once your credibility is tainted or destroyed, it is extremely difficult to win back.

#5 Keeping up to Date

Another useful function that blogs fulfill is to keep people up to date with the latest happenings and developments in any particular field. Things move very quickly in the developing world, and it can be very difficult to keep abreast of changes and latest news. By creating a blog that people can subscribe to, you can invite people to participate and advise what is going on in that particular sphere in their part of the planet. In business, keeping abreast of what is going on elsewhere is essential. It helps you to recognize and react to new trends, or even start them yourself.

#6 Making Money

You can also make money from blogging itself, although it may not be quite as easy as it sounds; not that it is particularly difficult; but it will take a certain amount of time, hard work and dedication. But there are many people who have made good money through displaying advertisements and back-links on their blog.

#7 Having Fun and Enjoying What You Do

But at the end of the day, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” so the saying goes. It is important to enjoy what you do. Blogging is free, and it can be fun, so remember to enjoy yourself as you go and spread a little good cheer among others too.

If you are ready to start your own blog, make sure to take a look at my video that teaches you how to get it up and running in less than 30 minutes.

Nu Skin boasts giving over $6 million of its sales back to it distributers. It has a generous commission on its products of 42%, and since cosmetics are a consumable product, repeat business relationships can be developed. Since this is a direct sales company, you will be expected to recruit and sponsor new distributers, and will earn residuals off of signing these new sponsors up.

In addition to the Nu Skin line, there is the Pharmanex line of nutritional supplements and the Big World opportunity which is very unclear to what it actually is. If the links supplied are correct, Big World is a technology company and is hosting web space that you sell. This seems very odd for a skin care company to have partnered so far out of its niche. The diversity of the products available to sell is unusual in a direct marketing company.

As far as a business opportunity, Nu skin appears to be very stable. Nu Skin is a publicly traded company, had $1.25 billion in sales so far, and has been in business for 25 years. From the description of the products, they appear to be high quality and different from those commonly found on the market. Since Nu Skin is keeping the initial investment in the company a secret, it maybe a considerable chunk of change to get started, which may be a deterrent to many in today’s economy.

A large advantage that Nu Skin offers is their rewards program. For their top representatives, the company purchases high ticket items like trips and jewelry as rewards for those people. Another advantage would be name recognition; since people in general tend to like spending their money with companies they are familiar. Without more information, listing the drawbacks is mostly a guessing game, but contacting Nu Skin, if this seems like an opportunity for you, is highly recommended.
