How to build your network marketing business on Facebook

Facebook is the ultimate social media platform!  Most people I know have a Facebook profile – even people who were once turned off by computers!

There is a different side to Facebook that you may not know about. You can actually use Facebook as a networking platform for your network marketing business. Before we get into the do’s of Facebook networking, let’s get into the don’ts!

The DON’Ts of Facebook Marketing for your network marketing business

1. Don’t send spam emails to strangers on Facebook and try to sell them on your business opportunity.

2. Don’t post spammy links on people’s Facebook walls.

3. Don’t go to groups and keep posting over and over and over again about your business opportunity.

These are the big no-no’s on Facebook! And I can tell you right now that I constantly hear people on Facebook complain about people just sending them spam emails out of the blue – saying, “Join my MLM company! It has the BEST compensation plan!” Let me tell you, you won’t get anywhere with that tactic!

So then how DO you effectively network on Facebook?

1. Set up a profile that has a good “about me” section and lists all of your relevant websites and profile links. This is an opportunity to brand yourself – so don’t skimp on this step.

2. Look for Facebook groups that are relevant to your business. There are tons of network marketing groups online if you want to network with other networkers.

What do you post on the wall of the group? You post valuable content instead of spammy messages. For example, you can post inspirational messages, network marketing advice, or maybe even online marketing advice. And make sure you interact with the other members of the group. Comment and like their posts.

Also, if you have a blog, you can post links to your relevant blog posts on the group wall -  this is a great way to get comments and likes for your blog – if you are an active member of the group, the members will want to reciprocate the favor. This is just another way to get your name out there.

3. Set up a Facebook fan page! A lot of networkers are taking advantage of this option! You can eventually gain a lot of fans and offer a lot of valuable content to your readers! This positions you as a leader in your field.

You can network with other people on Facebook when you switch over to your fan page profile. You just have to switch to “use Facebook as (name of your fan page)”.

To do this, you have to “like” other fan pages out there, because Facebook will only let you interact with other fan pages when you are switched to your fan page profile.You basically just go to other fan pages and comment on them, interact with their commenters and so forth. A lot of people have gained a big following from doing this, although it does take time!

4. Put an opt-in box on your personalized Facebook fan page. You can set up custom landing tabs for your Facebook page. So if someone visits your fan page (from your YouTube channel or blog…so forth) then they will see a custom landing page – you can put an opt in box on this page. They can enter their information in exchange for a free offer you have.

My wife, Tara Walker, has created a step-by-step video on how to set up a custom fan page here.

5. The last method I will mention is paid advertising on Facebook. You can pay to advertise on Facebook. Have you seen those ads that are on the right side of the page when your on Facebook – that’s where your ad will show up.

All of this is just the tip of the iceberg. For more information on how to market your business online, Click Here for a free video presentation.

Are you confused about the TriVita compensation plan? Here you will find their compensation plan simplified to make it easier to understand.

TriVita is a health and wellness company that markets their products through direct sales. TriVita’s sales representatives are called Affiliate Members.

The TriVita Compensation Plan – Simplified

How much does it cost to enroll in the TriVita business?

Currently, there is no cost to join TriVita.

What are VitaPoints?

VitaPoints – a point system in the TriVita compensation plan allotted to each product. For example, Nopalea is worth 40 VitaPoints.

How many VitaPoints are needed to maintain your status?

At the lowest, affiliate level, you will need to maintain at least 40 VitaPoints per month. You can achieve this with your personal order most likely.

As you progress in your TriVita career, you will have to maintain a higher number of VitaPoints monthly.

TriVita also factors in your total group sales volume in VitaPoints in order to determine your rank. This includes your own personal volume plus the volume of your members and other affiliate members in your downline.

What is the Reward Value?

So, each product has a certain amount of VitaPoints AND its own Reward Value. The reward value determines what percentage of the product you will get paid on.

For 60 days on all new members and affiliate members – you get 100% (reward value)

After the 60 day period – you get 80% (reward value)

Bonuses offered by the TriVita compensation plan

There are bonuses in place to boost your income when you are actively selling their products. For example, they have a weekly bonus and a monthly leadership bonus. How much you earn will depend on your rank and title.

Getting paid on your total team – affiliate members and members

You not only get paid on the affiliate members and members you personally bring in. But you also get paid on your total group of affiliate members and members down through 7 tiers.

Luckily, the TriVita compensation plan offers a uni-level plan with compression, which means that if someone is not active in your team, they will not count in the 7 tier lineup.

There are actually two uni-level plans in the TriVita compensation plan – one is for the members and one for member affiliates – and each offers a different level of compensation. This is where you can truly earn a residual income, and that’s what this business is all about – one of the perks!

TriVita Co-Op Advertising – how does it work?

Basically, you can buy contacts (leads) acquired through TriVita’s advertising. And you can also buy customers. You will earn compensation whenever these customers/contact purchase products in the future.

What other ways can you market TriVita?

Currently, a lot of marketers are learning how to generate their own leads online. This methods brands you as a leader, and in turn, can lead to long term rewards in your TriVita business.

Can you learn to generate leads online?

There are marketing systems in place that you can plug into – these systems give you step-by-step instructions on how to generate leads online. I got started with a marketing system that took me from a complete beginner to now getting leads every single day. Click Here to see a video presentation of the system I use.

Is there a TriVita scam?

Are you doing research to find out if there is a TriVita scam? I have done my own research, and some people are saying that the TriVita business is a scam.

This article will reveal the truth about the business opportunity and if there is any validity to the idea of a TriVita scam.

Why are people saying there is a TriVita Scam?

A lot of these claims are from former TriVita Affiliate Members – the representatives that sell the products and also bring in new affiliate members. Some of these representatives felt like it was harder to earn an income than they originally thought.

This happens a lot in direct sales companies! When you first get in and see the income potential “written on the wall” you may have a false sense of what it takes to make money in a company like TriVita – leading people to claim that there is a TriVita scam when they struggle to earn an income.

Is there a high failure rate in the Trivita business?

In one word – yes! But that’s true of all direct sales companies. It’s really because the primary marketing method new affiliates are taught is difficult to sustain over a long period of time.

Most companies tell their new representatives to market in the following ways

1. Make a list of all of your friends and family
2. Get referrals from your friends and family
3. Do the three foot rule – talk to various people you come across

Do these marketing methods work for TriVita affiliates? Yes they can – but only for some people. Most of the time representatives run into a road block: they have no one left on their list! So basically you have to learn how to market your business through other methods in order to reap the benefits of the TriVita compensation plan.

I remember when I first got started in network marketing a while back – I asked my upline what I should do when I ran out of friends and family. My upline said, “You have to find a way to get leads.” I asked them HOW to get new leads – and never really got a response other than to maybe buy leads.

I tried buying leads. I got some results from it, but I had to buy the really expensive leads and then those leads were shared with other marketers! Not to mention the fact that most people don’t like to cold call.

Now that you know there is no TriVita scam, how can you earn a real income in the business?

It all comes down to one word – marketing! You must learn how to market because this is a real business you are in. Just because it costs less than a traditional business does not mean is not a real business. You can market your business online or offline. Many marketers are choosing to market their business online.

Is there a learning curve in online marketing? Yes, there is. However, it is a viable way to attract prospects to you. You can use the internet to generate leads on a daily basis! Without new leads for your business, you’re not really in business, right?

Online network marketing to attract prospects to you

Today we’re going to talk about a different way to market your network marketing business – using online network marketing.

Some people use this method to supplement their offline methods, and some people actually use this as their primary method of marketing.

With online network marketing, you are not chasing people anymore!

Attraction marketing for online network marketing success

Instead of having the mindset of traditional network marketers, you are going to shift your way of thinking to the realm of attraction marketing. What is attraction marketing? It means that you set up your presence on the internet and lead with value – and in turn, you draw the prospects to you.

To pull off the attraction marketing method, you must offer lots of value and position yourself as a leader. If you think about it, it is similar to offline network marketing. The heavy hitters offline also use attraction marketing – just offline instead of online!

What do you need to get set up with online network marketing?

You can do MLM online for a pretty low price – it may just take you longer to see results. Here are some of the things I recommend to get started with online network marketing:

1. You need to have a blog – a central hub that you drive all traffic to.

2. You need to have a Facebook profile & fan page.

3. You should have a Twitter profile set up.

4. You need to have an autoresponder – an email marketing system

5. You should set up a YouTube account

These are just the bare minimums you should have in order to have a successful start in the online marketing world.

Okay, that’s great, but how do you drive traffic to your online MLM blog?

How to drive traffic to your sites – that is a hot topic among us online network marketers! Seriously! When I first got started, I was solely focused on SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I would write blog posts and make sure I followed all the SEO guidelines – hoping for a high ranking in Google.

Well, that just wasn’t enough! If you just build it – they don’t always come! So I had to implement other strategies. Now, I use a combination of backlinking, videos, and social media to make my blog stand out.

I have another online network marketing blog that I focus most of my time on now, and let me tell you, it took a lot of investigation and training to learn just HOW to get Google’s attention. It’s very competitive right now, as you probably know. So you must be aware of up to date methods of how to drive traffic.

But my wife, Tara, and I stuck with it – we felt like pulling our hair out at times, but we didn’t quit. Now we get leads every single day – and there’s proof that it actually works if you have the dedication to stick to it and NOT give up.

If you want more details, we recently did a very detailed attraction marketing blog post called:  Attraction Marketing for MLM Lead Generation. Or if you prefer video, here’s the link to our presentation: MLM Attraction Marketing Video

How did we learn how to get started with attraction marketing online?

We did a lot of research at first. And we eventually joined an attraction marketing system that teaches you exactly how to set yourself up online. This system also includes capture pages and walks you through the process step by step.

I won’t lie – it WAS frustrating to get everything set up. But it is definitely doable if you are willing to commit the time and work. Now we are attracting prospects to us, instead of us trying to chase down everyone we know. Yes, we know that the three foot rule works for some people, but we definitely PREFER the online marketing methods – for sure!

If the traditional methods of network marketing aren’t really working for you, then you need to learn smart marketing strategies in order to become successful in your business.

And remember, there are other options available to you as a network marketer.

To Your Success!

I no longer look up the keyword I’m trying to rank for on Google. I used to manually type in the keyword I was trying to rank for and search for it – to find out which page I was on. Let’s just say that I wasted a lot of time!

It got especially difficult when I began to have a lot of content – more and more keywords to keep up with. Then I learned about Market Samurai.

This software has made my life SO much easier! Now I start each day by opening up Market Samurai – a software that shows me which page I’m ranking on for each of my keywords! Because after entering into the internet marketing world, it doesn’t take too long to understand how your rankings directly affect your earnings! At least, that’s how it is for me!

So how does this software work? First, I enter in my websites I want it to look for. Secondly I type in the keywords I want to rank for. I tell it to find my ranking data, and it pulls up the location of my ranking (for each keyword) in the most popular search engines. It will look for your ranking data on a lot of different search engines, but to make it quicker, I just tell it to look on Google – since that’s the most important one for me.

They do give away a free trial here

The software can also tell you how many back links you have – the number of links from other sites that are linking into your site. That’s a very important number because more back links can significantly increase site’s ranking. With that said – it’s also crucial to have good quality back links referring back to your site – links from sites with a good “page ranking”.

Market Samurai also finds out what your “page ranking” is. In addition, it lets you know how many pages on your site are indexed by Google. So i will tell you – it has certainly given me a lot more time.

Each day I check my keyword rankings on Google – so this software has been great for me. I have to admit, it has a keyword research tool included in it that I haven’t really put to good use yet. I will start using that soon, though. I’ve heard excellent things about it. It can really narrow down a good keyword.

*Market Samurai gives you a free trial so you can try it out first – click here to get the free trial.

To Your Prosperity and Health,

Melaleuca Scam

Find out the truth here!

Are you worried that Melaleuca may be a scam? If you are, you are not the only one.

In this article, you’ll hear about the most common complaints about this company and if there really is a Melaleuca scam.

*This is a third party review – I’m not affiliated with the company in any way

Melaleuca Scam – Not enough transparency on the Melaleuca.com website

On the Melaleuca website, there are plenty of stories. You can hear about the story of the stay at home mom, the business professionals and so forth – how they made money and became successful. This is useful because people like stories. You can relate to a story.

But the problem is – I don’t see any in depth explanation of the business model or compensation plan in plain sight. In this information age, people need to be able to research more in depth on their own, without having to only depend on a representative for explanation.

Of course, this fact alone does not make Melaleuca a scam, but it can make people a lot more wary before joining the company. (And you can find the comp plan on the internet – it’s just not plainly visible on the main site.)

Melaleuca Scam – Shady marketing practices used by some Melaleuca reps

What kind of shady marketing tactics am I referring to: misleading ads on Craigslist, reps twisting the facts about the fees and monthly requirements, and I could go on and on. Seriously, these types of complaints are easy to find on the internet.

And yes, there will be bad apples in this, and every company. But that does not mean there’s a Melaleuca Scam. You see, it is impossible for a company to know exactly what each rep is saying at any given time.

I personally believe that having integrity in your Melaleuca business is a must. But there will always be those who are more driven by money. Most of the reps in these types of companies are genuine and are looking for a legitimate way to earn an income.

Melaleuca pyramid scam – Is it a Pyramid scheme?

First, let’s find out exactly what a pyramid scheme is.

Let’s let the Securities and Exchange Commission define it for us:

“In the classic “pyramid” scheme, participants attempt to make money solely by recruiting new participants into the program. The hallmark of these schemes is the promise of sky-high returns in a short period of time for doing nothing other than handing over your money and getting others to do the same.”

“The fraudsters behind a pyramid scheme may go to great lengths to make the program look like a legitimate multi-level marketing program. But despite their claims to have legitimate products or services to sell, these fraudsters simply use money coming in from new recruits to pay off early stage investors. But eventually the pyramid will collapse. At some point the schemes get too big, the promoter cannot raise enough money from new investors to pay earlier investors, and many people lose their money.”

So basically, according to this definition, Melaleuca is not a pyramid scheme. They do have legitimate, quality products, and there is not a large investment required to become a distributor.

Finally, there a Melaleuca scam?

Even though there are some Melaleuca complaints, it is not a scam. Of course, it’s not the right business for everyone, but if you are committed to learning the right way to market, and you have the motivation to succeed, it may be the business for you.

Talking to your friends and family to get the word out is one way to market this business. But there are other, legitimate ways to market your business – by using the internet to find interested prospects. Click here to learn how to attract people to you online – now that you know that there is no Melaleuca scam!

To your success!

How much does it cost to join Visalus, and how lucrative is the Visalus compensation plan?

Visalus Compensation Plan – Cost to Join

There are three different options when you join ViSalus as a distributor:

Choice Number 1 – Basic Distributor – $49 , plus the cost of a product kit. The most inexpensive option would be the $49 product kit. So the least amount of money you can pay to become a distributor is $98.

Choice Number 2 – Executive Success System (ESS) option – $499. You do not have to purchase an additional product kit since the products come with this option.

Choice Number 3 – ESS plus samples – $999. So basically you get everything in the ESS, plus additional samples to hand out.

As you can see, with the ViSalus compensation plan, there are many options for becoming a distributor. This is helpful because pretty much everyone can afford to join the company.

You must be an active distributor to earn income with the ViSalus Compensation Plan

How do you remain active? There are two options:

Option 1 – Have an autoship in the amount of $125 per month (Personal Qualification Volume).

Option 2 – Have $200 in retail sales monthly (PQV).

What type of Comp plan is it?

The ViSalus compansation plan is a unilevel with compression.

What is a Unilevel compensation plan? Basically you can only recruit people front-line to you. The more people you sponsor, the wider your organization grows.

What does “Compression” mean?

With a Unilevel plan, you get paid down to a certain amount of levels of your organization. So, say you get paid down to the 5th level of your organization – due to your current level in the company. If one of those distributors is not active, then you won’t lose that level. That level will be skipped so that you will get paid the full five levels. So that inactive level gets skipped, so you can earn the full commission off of five complete levels.

What are the 8 ways to get paid in ViSalus?

Direct Sales and personal comissions

First Order Bonus – A bonus goes out to the first four active upline associates when a new distributor orders personal products at the time of enrollment.

Rising Star Weekly Enroller’s Pool – For Rising Stars. A portion of 2 % of the company’s bonus volume from the previous four weeks. This is available only to those who qualify for it.

Fast Start Bonus – You must achieve the rank of director, then you can qualify to earn a bonus on some of the products within each ESS sold in your team, to unlimited depth.

Team Commissions – earn commissions on the product sales generated throughout your team organization.

Leadership Depth Bonus – You must achieve the level of Ambassador. Then, when your organization grows beyond 8 levels deep, you will receive a bonus from your 9th level and beyond.

BMW Bonus – Must be a regional director or higher. You can earn 600/month to be used for a black company branded BMW. If you don’t get the BMW, then you can receive $300 in cash/month instead.

Leadership Pool – For the Presidential Directors and Ambassadors. It goes off of a point system, and you can take part in receiving a bonus that is collected from 2 % of the total company bonus volume.

Ambassador Star Bonus – Paid to Star Ambassadors based on the Vi-Net® Pro/SUCCESS subscriptions within their organization.

Is the compensation plan lucrative?

There are a lot of ways to get paid with the ViSalus compensation plan. The BMW plan is catchy and adds credibility to those who qualify for it – in their warm market/home market at least. There’s a lot of motivation and energy pushing this company, and right now there is a lot of buzz going around about this company.

I would say that yes, this company does offer a lucrative compensation plan. But, with that said, you have to know how to find prospects and recruit – that’s the number one problem people face in this industry!

You have to overcome this hurdle and learn some real marketing techniques. To learn how to start attracting prospects using the internet, take a look at this free training.

Why are MLMs doing so well?

It’s no secret that MLMs are doing so well now. MLM a.k.a. Multi-Level Marketing has been notorious for a mixed wave of personal feelings and epithets that would make the average person run –run really fast. But why do so many still join? Why do so many people continue to hate MLMs? After many years of finding this amazing industry, I still wonder why there is such a huge divide. Just like many things in the world, there are people who are for it and people who are against it.

You just have to make sure that before you make any decision about what you think, make one without the influence of someone else’s decision. Do your own review and homework about the industry? What you will find is a whirlwind of stories which consist of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

So what’s so good about MLMs?

I’ll start off with the good about MLMs and then get into the crazy beliefs that people have.

Over 10 years ago, I was first exposed to the direct sales and MLM (also Network Marketing) industries. And of course, I saw the money first. Most people do. Without money being the most important driving force for the masses, I would find it difficult to believe that MLMs would have the same amount of interest. That’s what is the most important goal in this world, isn’t it? Without money, we would not be able to live a life that’s worth much, unless you lived in a tribe or something.

The best part about MLMs is the pure freedom of free enterprise and the “right” to start your own business. It’s the privilege to be a business owner in some way, even if you didn’t create the brand or even establish the company. You have a method of franchising or licensing market shares of the given MLM Company. One would have a difficult time finding alternative methods for starting their own business without this method.

Is it impossible for the majority of people to be entrepreneurs or self-employed? I wouldn’t say that it’s impossible, but very unlikely. The masses don’t have the investment capital and business savvy to start their own business. You see, we live in a system where the majority is “taught” to work for other people. That’s the traditional thing to do.

But for the minority, this is not exceptional. Some people see past this lifestyle. Where they know in the beginning or get hell bent and worn out from the job later, this type of person will never succumb to the life of a typical employee.

MLMs have and “will” continue to be the driving force of creating the newest millionaires. And for that, I have a great deal of respect for the industry. Also, it teaches people valuable lessons otherwise not learned in their average careers. Whereas some people learn these skills, many will never develop them.

What are some long term benefits of MLMs without the thought of only money?

• Leadership Skills – pretty much a skill that people rarely develop
• Communication Skills – more people develop this, but still lacking in the traditional sense
• Prospecting and Closing skills – very rare for the average person to ever develop and a skill definitely worth the sacrifice of learning
• Time Management Skills – another common requirement in the traditional sense but not when a person juggles a job and works their business part time
• Presentation Skills – to work on 100% commissions gives you the determination to improve this skill
• Time Freedom – to work on your own terms and own your on schedule
• Marketing Skills – I think you’re starting to see the making of an entrepreneur here

And you know there is so much more, but I’ll stop right here.

You see, the average person usually doesn’t acquire these skills over in their respective career. So you can understand how much of benefit just these skills are. Nonetheless, the money is great too.

Let’s get into why these skills or the lack thereof cause MLMs to get a bad rap.

The “bad” that so many people unfortunately focus on about MLMs

People naturally have an instinctive way of dealing with that which makes them feel uncomfortable or out of their natural environment. The aforementioned skills can be intimidating for many people to ever develop. In fact, just the time investment alone will shake a person’s character.

I have found that most successful people, entrepreneurs and celebrities alike, have certain skills that had to be developed over time. But they STILL did it, didn’t they? They still paid the price. This is why MLMs get a bad rap. It’s easy to blame anything outside of yourself, isn’t it? Where there are direct sales opportunities or business opportunities, there are many failures as well. Most sales professionals struggle at first, but the commitment and investment of time in improving their skills usually prevails.

This type of tenacious unshakable character is difficult to find in most people due to the thoughts and perceptions that have about themselves and their environment. And when people struggle, fail and then eventually quit, that negative energy and those negative thoughts travel at lightning speed. In fact, people still talk about the negative past of MLM and also focus on the common setbacks in the industry.

There will always be controversy in most things in our lives, but what we choose to focus on is our business.

MLMs will be here for much longer if not permanently. Only the future will hold the unseen truth of what’s to really come. So how do you separate yourself from the person who has a bad or negative perception due to the consistent struggles they experience? The first thing you have to understand is that MLMs will NOT build your business for you. You cannot completely ride on the coat tails of companies. You have to “create” your own name with in the industry. You have to create your own personal brand. That is what most people fail to understand. So really, it comes back to the lack of training, perseverance, and experience. These attributes in the MLM or network marketing industry are what many people have and duplicate. This is the problem within the industry. But there is a better way? There is a “choice” to develop your skills.

So now this brings us to the Ugly about MLMs

Although I’ve had my good experiences with MLMs in general, I have also experienced “The Ugly”. This is enough to deter most people and can have a lifelong effect on someone’s perception. Where there are good companies and good people in MLMs, there are also a bunch of snakes, liars and con-artists. But what really is the problem here? Is it the concept? Or is it people who mostly cause this perception?

It does suffice to say that people can sometimes be bad. Allow me to elaborate…

If one took an honest, objective look at the MLMs industry as a whole, they will find that many companies have indeed stood the test of time, have outstanding sales professionals, maintain honesty and integrity and sell MORE products and services than recruit new people. However, this cannot be maintained at a consistent level because we are dealing with people here, and people are not perfect. They lie, cheat, and sway the masses into deceptive spirals of false beliefs.

Company owners (people) make false promises and do some pretty nasty things to their sales forces. They jack up prices that are unreasonable and attach some cheesy product to the compensation structure. They mislead and encourage people to do things that sometimes are downright immoral and unethical. But in truth, these companies and the people behind them usually don’t last long.

Unfortunately, what tends to last and last sometimes a lifetime are the negative thoughts and perceptions that are created with these illegal MLMs. And this is a sad state of affairs for the honest companies in the industry.

Thought I give both sides of the story for the person looking to compare.

And for these reasons is why people will have mixed feelings about MLMs. They either have had an experience like the ones I’ve described or have heard of someone they know having the experiences.

Only you can decide for yourself to focus on the positive. Only you can decide what you want to do with your life, not someone who doesn’t have what you want to accomplish. There will always be pros and cons about most things—yin and yang so to speak or good and evil.

So what are you going to decide about MLMs? Are you going to always go through life focusing ONLY on the negative side of things?

That would truly be a failure.

To Your Prosperity and Health,

David

Generate leads online with article marketing. Many people want to work their network marketing business from home but are limited on funds. They must find an effective way to generate leads on a budget. Article marketing can even give you a solid advantage over the paid methods, such as pay-per-click.

Generate Leads Online

One advantage of article marketing is the low cost, as I have mentioned before. But there are a couple of other advantages to article marketing as well. First of all, when you write articles, you position yourself as an expert in your field. You are building immense quality for yourself as an internet network marketer while generating leads.

The second advantage is that your articles are on the internet to stay! Sometimes pay-per-click marketing can be a bit tricky. The rules can change and PPC ads may not be ranked as they once were, or worse yet, the ads can be yanked from the search results completely.

With article marketing, your articles will remain in place – for months and years to come! That brings about a certain level of stability once you have a good amount of articles out there. It’s like having internet marketing real estate! With that said, just because you write an article, that doesn’t mean it will get ranked high in the search engines. In order for your articles to be effective, people must be able to see them! You must use techniques that get your article that much needed attention it needs -to be on the first page of the search engines is the goal!

Generate leads online with these techniques

I’ll summarize some techniques for getting your article noticed. First of all, the search engines like it when there are a lot of back links to your article. It tells the search engine that your article is popular! There are several different ways to get back links to your article. One way is to use a service called Onlywire. You can install this application right into your WordPress blog. From there, when you post an article, you just submit it to Onlywire. Onlywire will submit your article link to the top social bookmarking sites on the internet-giving you those much needed back links.

Another way to get back links is to submit your article to video directories such as YouTube. Just do a short little intro to your article and why people should read it! This helps because you will have back links to your article from the video site, and video sites themselves are very popular so you will get traffic that way as well! The last method is submitting your article to several different article directories. You can put a link inside the articles that you submitted to the directories-that link will go back to your original article-the one that you want to rank high up in the search engine results. That’s another way of getting back links.

Also, article directories such as Ezine Articles get a lot of traffic, and they are ranked high by the search engines. You can post articles there with links back to your blog or other site.  Set up your Author profile with Ezine articles as well and build your credibility online.

And finally, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is very important when having your article ranked for Google and other search engines. There are so many rules with SEO so you will have to do some more research on this. A few SEO basics to optimize your content and generate leads online include…

- Having the right amount of keyword density

- Including formatting such as header tags, bold and italics

- Having backlinks in your article

- Having the keyword in the title

Since there are so many different ways to optimize your articles in the search engines, there are tools available to help you out. If you don’t want to take the time to research and learn how to do SEO, then you can take a look at this SEO Tool.  I use it and it really helps to increase your rankings.

As you can see, to generate leads online you must play by the search engines’ rules!

It is a complex process of achieving those much needed back links and optimizing your SEO in order to rank you high in the search engines. There are also other methods of getting your articles noticed, such as keyword research and so forth.

ASEA REVIEW

This ASEA review will break down in a nutshell what one needs to know if they are looking to join     ASEA. ASEA was founded by Verdis Norton and James G. Pack. Together, these co-founders have broad business experience, offering expertise in areas such as business strategy, sales, management and marketing.  ASEA is located in  Salt Lake City, Utah.

According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website, ASEA was incorporated in 2007, making it a newer company. Currently, the BBB has received no complaints regarding this company.  The business side of ASEA is legitimate, so how does the product stack up?

ASEA Review – The Product

ASEA markets a product that contains reactive molecules. What are reactive molecules? According to the company website, reactive molecules are the key to activating the antioxidants in our body. Without reactive molecules, our body would be unable to process antioxidants. Antioxidants help our body to stay healthy and fight aging.

There has been 16 years of research leading up to this product. According to the company, ASEA is “the first and only stable, perfectly balanced mixture of these reactive molecules that exists outside the body and can be used to help maintain proper balance inside the body to support the immune system and healing process.”

One of the main complaints going around the internet right now is that it’s just overpriced salt water.  The product is actually made up of saline and water. So how is it any different than regular salt water? According to their website, the solution must go through a complex electrochemical process that takes several days to complete. The process includes tightly controlled parameters including temperature, concentration and flow. All of this is supposed to create a stable form of the reactive molecules so that it can benefit your body.

ASEA Review- Product Price

The company offers two different customer prices for ordering ASEA—as of the date of this article. One case contains four 32 ounce bottles of ASEA. The retail price is $150 per case. The preferred price is $120 per case. In order to get the preferred price, the customer must be on an autoship program.

ASEA Review- Business Opportunity

ASEA is a direct marketing company. Their business starter kit is $30.00. In addition, at least one case of the product needs to be ordered—at the price of $120.00. There are seven ways to get paid in ASEA, including team commissions, check match, director’s bonus, fast start bonus, leadership pool, preferred customer bonus, and retail commissions. In order to earn commissions, the distributer must maintain 100 PV (personal volume) per month.  ASEA has a binary compensation plan, which means it is made up of two legs.

ASEA is a legitimate company with strong, knowledgeable leadership. The science behind the production of the product is complex, and complex science can yield positive results from very simple ingredients. The real test will be to take the product yourself to find out if you get any results. The compensation plan offers many ways to get paid, and a binary compensation plan is a good way to go.

ASEA Marketing – how to market your business

If you believe in the product, ASEA can be a great opportunity for you. With that said, this is a network marketing business, so marketing training is a must in order for you to become successful. The lack of marketing skills causes many people to fail.
