Who are the best people and where are the best places to find people to join your MLM business?Multi-level marketing or network marketing success it normally at its best when you maximize the people of the network plan which means you earn income off the work of others. As such to be successful you will need to grow a team of people, partners or what is often referred to as a down line.Although general advertising can be effective, experience shows that there are certain types of people who are either more receptive to your business proposal. Who are these people and why should you target them?Other Multi-Level Marketing PeopleOne of the first places you should look at is people who are already in some form of network marketing program. The reason is obvious – you don’t have to over come false notions of pyramid marketing or other network marketing falsehoods told by people who don’t understand laws of rewarding hard work and the benefits of network marketing. (You would think with some of the largest multi-nationals in the world now involved in network marketing some people would realize that MLM is a modern economic reality, but still there are hanger’s on who believe in old industrial models of employment until their bubble is burst when their life time loyalty is blown with retrenchment and lost of their retirement income).People who are already in network marketing can with the right product just transfer it straight to their already existing network. For example – Global Domains International which offers web hosting and domain names package in a network marketing frame work is very popular with other participates of network marketing programs because it provides their down line with a tool they can use to help market their primary MLM product or service.Less training is needed. Because these people are already in network marketing and used to the concepts and practices. Further they already have an entrenched down line to market to.Internet GurusAnother place is to take the ‘Wall Street’ approach. You may remember the popular film in the 80’s about greed and Gordon Geeko and how by capturing the whale meant higher income. The same is true in the MLM world. Capture a whale who already mass markets and your MLM could explode.Ezine and List BuildersThese people already have a list of people normally in the thousands with which they can market an MLM program to. In fact if you are a list builder and you don’t have your own network marketing program with recurring income (like GDI) that you are also marketing to your list you must have rocks in your head, because your missing out on an easy second income.Young AdultsAs you know the older you get the harder it is to make friends. We become introspective and less trusting. Teenagers are natural network marketers. The love the latest techno gadget and naturally ‘market’ to one another all the time – peer pressure and other similar factors mean that if a young person has something that’s popular then you can expect the others in the network to be assaulting their parents wallets demanding to be part of the latest cool thing.Things like Ipods were mainly marketed and gain huge popularity by WORD OF MOUTH. Word of mouth is still THE most powerful marketing in the world – hence why NETWORK marketing seeks to tap into this concept.Young people are also looking at ways to earn extra income without too much labor – with study, uni. and parties taking most of their time – working at a low rate of pay at a takeaways is not the most appealing way to earn money. How much easier to earn money while out at parties and socializing with friends.SeekersPeople who are fustrated with their life or job are the final group of people you should target. Often these people are looking for something different and at least the promise of escaping the rat race. They will normally be willing to devote their spare time to achieving these goals. People who want to start a business, but don’t have the buy a franchise or similar business.If you start with these four groups you may find your MLM program having more productive results.—–85% of people love GDI ws and Join – why don’t you try the GDI FREE trial?http://tinyurl.com/ykwkjhbVideo Presentation : http://freedom.ws/midieklate

 Mannatech has been the subject of several lawsuits regarding both their sales practices and the validity of the claims they make about their products. The group is frequently charged to be cult like, and they are not afraid to mix religion into their recruitment messages. Learning the story of Mannatech is a good way to understand more about multi level marketing in general and how to spot a legitimate opportunity from one that will roll through your life like a tornado.

First, an introduction: Mannatech sells “nutritional supplements.” In particular, they stress a concept called “glyconutrition” which they claim can works at a cellular level to help you achieve good health. They claim that the nutrients they provide in their product cannot be produced in significant enough amounts by your body and that they cannot be received through diet alone. To back up their claims about their products, Mannatech has frequently claimed that the scientist behind the glyconutrition field won the Noble Peace Prize in 1994, and then later that he won a Noble Prize in 1999.

The problem with these claims is that they are so easily disprove. First, naturally, the Noble Peace Prize is not awarded for advances in medicine, and in 1994, that prize went the brokers of that years Middle East Peace Accord. In 1999, the no Noble Prize was awarded for glyconutrition – in fact, none ever has been. However, the company has indoctrinated its sales staff with this information, and they continue to use it as a sales tool, despite the fact that it is plainly incorrect.

Mannatech detractors say that the glyconutrition supplements that they are selling are nothing more than simple sugar pills. Mannatech is very careful on their company website to stress that these are nutritional supplements, but according to many court cases brought by former Mannatech reps and by Mannatech customers, behind the scene reps are taught to tell people that these pills can cure anything from migraines to Parkinson’s Disease. Their reps disseminate this information in person and online, while the head office is very careful to distance themselves from the claims on one hand while encouraging their reps to go out and spread it.

Is Mannatech a scam? There’s no middle ground in that question. Their reps are fiercely loyal, and their detractors consider them to be among the worst multi level marketing scams out there. Before you join their ranks, you should evaluate the program carefully and make sure it is right for you. There is plenty of information on the internet for both sides, so doing your homework should protect you from making the wrong decision for yourself and getting in over your head with Mannatech.

Have you been to those pie-in-the-sky network marketing meetings? Did they tell you that you have to make a list of all your friends and family members? Did you ever try to drag them to an 8 o’clock Saturday morning meeting when you preferred to be sleeping in? Did you run out of friends to whom you can sell your opportunity? Are you now a part of the NFL (no friends left) club?If you like the idea of residual income and tried every network marketing company known to man, then you are not alone. If you find that participating in those expensive co-operative advertising programs put a dent in your pocketbook, join the club.

The Lighthouse Marketing book is a manual that was written by two of the big leaders in the network marketing, or multi-level marketing (MLM), industry. Upon reviewing this book, I have found that lots of the principles they teach in this book are very similar to the techniques taught in search engine optimization (SEO) books.In this book, you will learn some of the most powerful marketing techniques: * E-mail marketing–If you can write an e-mail to all your friends on your address list, then writing an e-mail to a prospect is a piece of cake. * Pay-per-click advertising (PPC)–If paying $250 per month in co-operative advertising in some of the most renowned home business magazines is not your cup of tea, then PPC is the way to go. It is cheaper and much more efficient. * Social networking–If PPC is still too expensive for you, then joining a social networking site is a better alternative. There is nothing better than sharing some of your favorite sites with your friends than by becoming a member of social networking websites such as Digg, MySpace or StumbleUpon. Here you can build a good reputation of being a regular user.If you seek financial security for you or your family, and multi-level marketing piques you, then definitely read Lighthouse Marketing.
