* How do you choose the channels most beneficial for you?
* When do you make the crossover from virtual connections to handshakes?
* How do you get it right straight of the bat?
* HOW DO YOU DO IT QUICKLY AND EASILY?

For those just getting started, heres ya A-Z...

A ) All the engines. Ask.com, Alltheweb.com, About.com, AltaVista.com-make sure you research your presence in as many places as you can before beginning to network.
B ) Brand and Brightspark. What words do you want to be associated with your name? Decide on your personal brand before pushing it. Use the right tools to meet your targets quickly and easily - http://www.brightsparkprospect.com/?strat326
C ) Classmates.com. Although it may not be dancing in the spotlight with newer social networks, it�s a great way of rekindling old friendships that can become new colleagues & contacts.
D ) Digg.com. For networking? Yes. Used best for establishing content-driven relationships with like-minded industry types. Starting dialogs & discussions.
E ) Endorsements. Erase any doubts by requesting endorsements from past colleagues, mentors, and friends on LinkedIn.com, personal sites, etc.
F ) Facebook.com. Get on it. Use it. Keep it professional. Flourish.
G ) Goals. Make sure you have established goals for your efforts. Know the people you want to interact with & the industry trends you want to be associated with.
H ) �How to Change the World� blog. Read it. Guy Kawasaki�s blog��A practical blog for impractical people� covers everything anyone may need to stay motivated and get ahead, this dude knows his onions.
I ) Identity Management Sites. Check out Naymz.com & Ziggs.com. Great sites to help evolve and manage your brand.
J ) Joking & Jesting. Keep it to a minimum initially. Be sure to establish a presence before taking to informal interactions with other industry professionals.
K ) Keywords. Set up the relevant ones to come to you via Google alerts, RSS feeds, e-mail newsletters, etc. Know your valuable Keywords.
L ) LinkedIn.com. Get on it. Use it. Keep it Professional. Link up.
M ) Market Yourself. Treat your name as a client. Build up your skills, and strengthen your weakness. Make sure you are meeting your audience's expectations.
N ) Netiquette. Be sure to follow the appropriate guidelines when interacting online. Wade in don't jump, never spam, be patient, etc.
O ) Online Reputation Management. Know what is being said about you (and your company) and react accordingly.
P ) Persistency. Get a top-notch coffee maker, rebull is good, subscribe to motivational quotes, and understand. Online Networking is NOT a part-time job.
Q ) Questions. Ask them. Don't shy from embracing your newbie status with online platforms and communities. Ask questions and reap the benefits of the knowledge available to you.
R ) Read everything. No really--read blogs, reviews, summaries, critiques. Be sure you have the full picture of the network you want to infiltrate.
S ) Support Others. There are a lot of words to go under but this one can't be ignored. Be sure to return the favor when receiving industry support.
T ) Twitter. Get on it. Use it. Don't always keep it professional. Tweet yourself a brand.
U ) Use Multiple Tools. Never count on just one platform. Diversify yourself across multiple boards, platforms, networks, etc.
V ) Video Blogs. Anytime you can incorporate your face with your words/knowledge, it's a win-win.
W ) Webinars. Attend as many as you can, host them on your favorite topics, and reap the rewards of this viral interaction.
X ) XING.com. Get on it. Use it. Keep it professional. Go global.
Y ) You. It all starts with you. What are you waiting for?
Z ) ZZZZZZ's...?

So come on people? What did I miss? Is there a tool that has been incredibly beneficial in networking yourself online?

Tactics For Affiliate Marketing:The Pay-Per-Click Method

Tactics For Affiliate Marketing:The Pay-Per-Click Method

by Mike Mullins

Ever since the evolution of internet, there have been millions of people who have earned lots over different ways of marketing themselves. Many business owners trying to sell their products have sought the help of the internet because it's easier to reach any customer all around the world within minutes.

You may wonder how affiliate marketing works. It's quite simple. The affiliate promotes a merchants product over the internet by having their website.

In this website, you will find a few links that will direct any visitor who clicks on it to the merchant. The usual way of being compensated is when a visitor clicks on the link. The more customers a merchant will have, the more money an affiliate will receive.

There are different ways an affiliate is compensated for the marketing efforts they provide. One of the most famously used types of compensation method is affiliate marketing pay per click. In addition, affiliates are paid by two other methods that include the pay per lead and pay per sale.

Why do you think the affiliate marketing pay per click method is so famous among affiliates? This is because the compensation for an affiliate is confirmed the moment a visitor clicks on the link.

In other words, the affiliate's website will carry a few advertisements and links that will direct a visitor to the merchant who has the product on offer. So the moment the visitor clicks on the link, the affiliate can be sure of getting paid.

Some advertisers tend to prefer the pay per sale or pay per lead method instead of the affiliate marketing pay per click method. Why do you think this is the case? Studies and recent surveys show that some publishers carry out fraudulent acts with regard to affiliate marketing pay per click method in order to make quick money.

The affiliate marketing pay per click method lets the affiliate earn lots in a short period of time.

The main drawback of some websites that use the affiliate marketing pay per click method is that there are search engines that regard these sites as spam. Even though the site is a legitimate one, these search engines tend to regard it as spam, thus disabling the chance for customers to go through it. - 20490

Legitimate Network Marketing Business

Legitimate Network Marketing Business

by Farid Beck

Network marketing is a brutally unforgiving business if you do not do your own due diligence. In essence, choosing the right network marketing company is similar to choosing the right boyfriend or girlfriend. Inevitably, bad choices will affect your finances and career in ways that you will never imagine when you fall in love for the first time (yes, it applies to companies you fall in love with as well!)

How does one differentiate between a legitimate network marketing company compared one that is not?. Most of the time, there are many grey areas and some companies stand on that thin line where it sounds legal but is in fact unethical!

Here are a few ways to differentiate between a good MLM opportunity and a bad one:

Always do a thorough check on the background of the business. Do they have a good management team? Do the people in the company move from one business to another? You must be very careful with this because if they uproot and move to another company or project, you will lose thousands of downlines overnight!

Are the products legitimate? A litmus test of a solid product is one that sells very, very well even at its retail price. Most companies will try and force an unrealistic mark up on their products in order to pay out down to many levels in the organization but in actual fact, the product is only consumed by the people who are doing the business and are useless competitively speaking when sold outside the network.

Would you still be consuming the products when the company shuts down or would you auction whatever is left off on eBay at a very low price? Never fall for the trap thinking that the product is very good just because you are doing the business.

Do they require you to purchase a lot of inventory? Do they require your downlines to get lots of stock before anyone can earn any money? Beware of these hit-and-run companies because they will be gone when the market hits saturation.

Is your upline member a network marketing junkie who treats the company as a fad rather than a long term business? It is better to join a team that is here to stay compared to one that moves from fad to fad. You will never know when your current upline might leave and will even pinch your downlines along to his or her new business so beware of whom you are allying yourself with.

As you will be spending a lot of time and money with the company, these are all important areas to consider. So make sure you do your due diligence! - 20490

Internet MLM Problems and Solutions

For most people, an MLM means having to chase people you know to join up and this isn't a welcome thought. You may even be the type of person who is reluctant to approach strangers when you're out each day. Most people do not like it when they are told to make lists of every single person they know and they are told that they will have to try and make all of them join up. Basically, just because an individual knows who you are, doesn't mean that they are going to want to join your venture because in reality, network marketing isn't for everyone. Often the family member or friend will be interested in the product but have no interest in its business angle.

A more effective partner may be someone who has shown interest in home businesses and has requested information from you. There are many people making good incomes by using the internet as their tool earn an income and almost every MLM gives their distributors a free web site they can use. Don't forget to also sign up for a VoIP service. Having the (http://businessvoip.jp/best-voip-softphones/) best VoIP softphone you can get as well as the (http://businessvoip.jp/best-voip-software/) best VoIP software you can afford will help you have better communications with your prospects. These sites are useful to lead prospects to after they have already pre-qualified. To get them there, you might want to look at a Squidoo lens, a blog or a web site of your own so you can promote this site.

Setting up one's own web site or blog acts as an introduction to oneself before the company. If you learn how to market your MLM via the internet you will be able to find a large number of business partners whom you would not have come across otherwise. Your whole business can be run right from home and you can teach and train people virtually.

MLM and network marketing are all about working closely together and even though it is on the internet it is still a relationship. Constant effort should be made to build and maintain good relationship with the leads that you sourced and also all new people in your team. You may be able to any of the internet services such as Skype so that you are able to talk to people all around the world, completely free of charge and there is always free instant messaging offered by Yahoo, MSN and several others. No longer do you have to be worried about the costs of communication like people were a few years ago when calling long distance meant huge bills.

You can build your MLM network free of cost or at a low cost through internet and it need not be expensive at all. If you put it a lot of hard work, the results might take some time but you will succeed if you are patient and hard working. You may find that it is also worth making sure that you avoid anything that implies or claims that they will build the business for you. This particular type of marketing is what attracts all of the people that are searching for something for a little of nothing and no one within the network has been able to become successful this way. Most people become successful by being completely focused and determined enough in order to put in all of the effort that is required. - 20490

Communications are key in any business including MLM so consider VoIP. By getting the (http://businessvoip.jp/best-voip-softphones/) best VoIP softphone you can practically afford as well as the best (http://businessvoip.jp/best-voip-software/) VoIP software you are doing yourself and your business a huge favor.

Sure Fire ways to expand your Network with Email Marketing.

by MLMAbsolute

In networking business, you need to network with people. The best way to maintain contact with people online is through Email Marketing. You can use it for many purposes; appreciation for joining/ purchasing, product updates, promotional updates.

The invent of online Network Marketing created a gap in the personal touch in marketing. You need to fill up the gap to succeed in Network Marketing

Before you can contact your customers, you need to have their contact. Doing business online, the main contact information is usually the Email address. You can collect email addresses through your website through a squeeze page or opt-in page. The main advantage is that the leads are targeted.

These are your potential cash cows. You need to follow up with them, update them regularly, forming a relationship. The purpose of doing this is to increase their awareness of your company or product. Imagine, today if you keep seeing the advertisement of, say, MacDonald's, the next time you make a decision on where to eat, you will probably be thinking of MacDonald's. You need to get them to see your advertisements. The easiest way is to send them emails.

In order to maximize the results of your Email Marketing Campaign, you need to do more than just sending them information. There are more things to take note when you start your Email Marketing Campaign.

Email Like a Pro

Here are some sure fire tips to emailing like a professional.

- Who is it from?

You need to identify yourself in your email address so people will be less reluctant to open your email. Use emails that shouts your identity e.g. sales@yourcompany.com. Such emails can be created very easily as most hosting plans give you free emails under your website URL.

The next factor that you should pay attention to is your subject line. Your subject must have the power to make people interested in your email. As a rule, keep it under 50 words.

- Main body

After your reader decides to open your email, you have to grab this opportunity to sell your purpose to them. Identify your self and the purpose of your purpose to them immediately. Keep the style of the email close to the style of your website. State the referrer if you have.

Improve conversion of your Emails

Increasing the effectiveness of your emails means to increase action rate. Action in terms of the people reading the emails to visiting the website. Here are 6 tips on how to improve your emails to increase your conversion rates.

- Brand yourself/ The Company

Remember to brand yourself or the Company, whichever you are representing. Good branding will make readers remember you, or your company. Keep to the branding you choose, and use it consistently, every time you email them. Use the branding in your from line or subject line, so they can recognize you.

- Honesty

Be honest and truthful in your email subject line. Don't use false information to trick readers into opening the email. It is also a legal requirement to have accurate subject line.

- Instill Urgency

Use time sensitive words or phrases to create a sense of urgency in readers. Use words like, For Limited Time Only, Buy Now, and Whilst Stock Last.

- Entice them

To further entice them to open the email or action, offer them benefits to action. You can combine urgency and the benefits in the subject line.

- Don't overdo it

In your main body, you can use bolds, colors, and capital letters to emphasize the benefits of your product / service. But bear in mind not to over do it. Using too much bolds, capital letters and colors will not only confuse your readers, it will also piss people and spiders off. Spiders may filter your email and classify it as SPAM.

- Simple and Sweet

Different purpose of email requires you to use different strategy in your emails. But as a general rule, keep your email simple and sweet. Nobody likes to read a long and wordy email. You should keep your email to the main point. If you have too much information to give, it will probably better if you give a short introduction in the email and add a link for people to click to read the full article.

*P.S Include a unsubscribe tab for all your email correspondence. It is a legal requirement for all email newsletter to include the unsubscribe option to reduce SPAM. - 20490

MXI Corp Scam or Viable Business - Xocai Healthy Chocolate

by Jeanett Skoorb

MXI Corporation is based out of Nevada and has introduced new product lines called Xocai. Xocai manufactures a number of chocolate health food varieties based on unrefined Cacao, Acai berries and various other health related ingredients. Research has shown that his specialty chocolate contains elevated amounts of antioxidants which are known to be beneficial. MXI opted out of retail channels and utilizes Multi-level Marketing (MLM), also known as Network Marketing, to distribute their chocolate. In marketing this chocolate a new category has entered the marketplace referred to as Healthy Chocolate.

Historically chocolate is a very popular product. With 2006 sales estimated at close to $16 billion through all channels, chocolate is forecast to grow to #18 billion by 2011, according to US market forecasts for chocolate. When looking at the average personal consumption worldwide, the business opportunity speaks for itself. With the introduction of the health benefits of chocolate, MXI delivers a viable product to the varieties already available. Health products and relationship marketing present a viable model for opportunity seekers.

Business professionals have recognized Xocai and MXI distributorships for significant income opportunities. Sometimes referred to as the Xocai membership, the fee is nominal. Active distributorship entitles individuals to create one or many income streams.

Primary incomes occur from buying Xocai products at wholesale prices and selling retail prices. The distributor retains the difference as profit. Retail prices are determined by the distributor. The next primary income comes from introducing the Xocai business and developing a team of associate distributors. This income is based on a predetermined percentage of each new associates product volume and returned in the form of a weekly check.

The Xocai MLM business plan has been created using a binary compensation strategy. This plan reaches a maximum disbursement of fifty percent of chocolate sales volume. Commissions earned are built on distributed volume of the lowest volume channel.

Hypothetically, a high producing group has thirty thousand in monthly volume, and a lower group has twenty thousand in monthly volume, the compensation check is based on the lower twenty thousand channel volume. The method proceeds as follows. The lower is subtracted from the higher and the remainder moves forward and will remain until the following week. Additionally, a Quick Check of either fifty or one hundred and fifty dollars is paid as an additional bonus for new group members. The bonus amount is determined if a startup package is purchased by a new Xocai distributor.

Respected economists recommend starting and growing network marketing businesses like Xocai Healthy Chocolate. Industry analysts have stated that Xocai is capitalizing on a unique market segment. Business lecturers suggest that telephone advertising, automated Internet mail, direct sale and group training related presentations be employed for successful start up and growth. Healthy Chocolate is becoming a respected business and threat as market share is transferred from traditional brands to Xocai.

The initial growth phase of Xocai is currently experiencing acceptance in mainstream of business. MXI Corporation has seven basic Xocai healthy chocolate lines. Expansion throughout the US, Canada, Australia and Europe are expected to continue. - 20490
