What is Multi-level marketing (MLM)?
Some organizations are developed by either building an active customer
base or recruiting a downline of independent distributors who also
build a customer base. As a result such organizations expands. In
addition, distributors can also earn a profit by retailing products
they bought from the parent company. Distributors earn a commission
based upon the sales efforts of their organization, which includes
their independent sale efforts as well as the leveraged sales efforts
of their downline.
Is Multi-level marketing legal?
The most legitimate companies and organizations pay to their retailers
and distributors ONLY on sales of the company's products. Such as:
webhosting services, affiliate marketing programs that are based on
selling their products. In fact no one can receive money only by
(Free-sign-ups)
In a marketing plan you promote a brand or a product which is legal.
What is pyramid or Ponzi schemes?
It involves exchange of money for enrolling other people in to the
schemes without selling anything. Many pyramid schemes claim to be a
legitimate MLM business.
Why is it called Ponzi schemes?
In 1920 Charles Ponzi,was an ex-convict who promised the
Italian-American community of South Boston that he would give them a 50
percent return on their money in just 45 to 90 days. Mr. Ponzi claimed
that he could pay such a high rate of return because he could earn 400
percent by trading and redeeming postal reply coupons. These coupons
had been established under the Universal Postal Convention to enable a
person in one country to pre-pay the return postage on a package or
letter sent back from another country. For a short time after World War
I, fluctuations in currency exchange rates did create a disparity
between the cost and redemption value of postal reply coupons among
various countries.
However, Mr. Ponzi discovered that he could only make a few cents per
coupon and that handling large volumes of coupons cost more than they
were worth. He stopped redeeming any coupons but continued to collect
investors' money. When he actually paid a 50 percent return to some
early investors, his reputation soared and more money flowed in from
around the country. Mr. Ponzi bought a stylish house in the best part
of town and purchased a large minority interest in his local bank, the
Hanover Trust Company.
Eventually his scheme began to unravel, bringing ruin to the bank and
thousands of investors. When Mr. Ponzi began to overdraw his accounts
at Hanover Trust, the Massachusetts Banking Commissioner ordered
Hanover Trust to stop honoring Ponzi's checks. The bank refused and
even issued back-dated certificates of deposit to cover Mr. Ponzi's
overdrafts. A few days later, the Banking Commission took over Hanover
Trust, and Mr. Ponzi was arrested for mail fraud. In the end, Charles
Ponzi owed investors over $6 million, an enormous sum of money for that
time. He was convicted of fraud in both state and federal court and
served ten years in prison. ( source: FTC )

How to do online business?
In the automated world of marketing system, it is not feasible to just
waiting for receiving a passive income. You should work for your online
business in order to give you the effective results. What you do in MLM
system is that you sign up under person nr 1, you sign up for the
program under person nr 1, you market your system/product with your
links to person nr 1, person nr 2,person 3. You earn money by selling a
product.
There are programs such as spiderweb marketing system that provide you
opportunities and startegies to grow your business. It gives you some
free tools and let you to build your affiliate business program.
When you want to market your free marketing system, you should
understand that something free will cost money. There are always some
scammers that build their pyramid of scam and deceive people in the
name of free online. Yes. The truth is that the internet is a world of
information and misinformation at the same time. We, humans are
equipped with the power of mind and real world of logic. Nobody can say
that I was deceived since nobody under any circumstances can force a
person to do anything.
We choose what we do.e people might think that a free marketing system
is like running around in a circle and waste their time and money.
There are a lot of newbie out there, running around and using every
affiliate program without getting any result. The solution is that you
should stay organized, work systematically, concentrate on one thing at
a time, read and learn what the others have done in the past in respect
of doing online business.
If you want to do business online, do some researches. When you feel
that you are ready, make a commitment to the program.
Make your ads more appealing such as:
* Reach a target audience and market: Find where your advertisements
have market. Many people do some mistake on Google Adwords and put the
target global:" the entire world". BIG MISTAKE! You get clicks,
alright, but you lose your money without making any sell!
Some countries government will not let your website be viewed because
of their particular regulations such as: China, Cuba, certain Muslim
countries etc.
* Make sure your ad. be visible for those who want to see the ad and
click on it. So do not use Google Adword standard campaign.
Use key word bidding strategy.
* Write a persuasive ad copy: Read some e-books on effective copy
writing.
* Be passionate about your product: When you talk about your product
with enthusiasm, your readers will also become excited about it.
* Give to your audience what they want: Think! who would be interested
in your product?
* Does your product solve a problem? Reflect the resolution in your ad.
* Produce key words with different bidding: Put some values on a group
of key words ( 300 keywords per ad in a group campaign.)
* Apply headlines H1, H2: You can employ tags and break your ad copy up
with each headline. Your headlines should summarize the ad (text
block). Make it interesting and appealing.
Put yourself in your audiences shoe, then choose the right words.
* Avoid applying negative words such as:If, maybe etc. Try to keep your
ads as short as possible: People get bored easily.
* Make it risk free and create a sense of urgency. Have you seen some
ads on some WebPages that put a clock ticking in it? They are able to
sell their product.
* Put some bonuses and discounts
* Advertise some free stuff along with your ad. People get attracted to
free items.
* Ensure people with security and give them confidence in order to
purchase your product
* Let your potential clients know that if they do not buy your product,
they make a big risk for not buying your product. If you do that, you
make sales big time.
Link exchange
As you know that internet (www) is the world of links. You receive more
links, you get higher ranking on the search engines. As a result you
get more potential visitors who may find your ad interesting or if you
have adsense on your pages, you may get the click. There are always
methods to exchange links manually. However for accelerating getting
higher ranking,there are some software that can be used due to spare
time. Because asking various websites for exchanging links is very time
consuming!
You should know that traffic exchanges, have a lower conversion rate
than organic (search engine) or paid (PPC) campaigns. Why? Because
people don't really care about you or what you're selling. They only
care about themselves and getting traffic to their own sites!
If you get over 50-100 links or more on your website, you get higher
ranking.The links that you put on your website must be relevant to the
theme. You can't add a link about computer games while your website is
about clothing.
Copywriting
Another way to get traffic is writing on forums,refferal and free
traffic social networking websites. All you need to do is to
concentrate more on getting an opt-in rather than a sale. You can
continue to sell to those that sign up for your newsletter.
Newsletter
Send every couple of weeks newsletters and keep your
members/subscribers updated. Do not spam and respect your subscribers
privacy.Stay as poplular as you can. It is good for your business.
We should rank our beliefs not by plausibility but by the harms they
may cause!Go for the gold, dream big, believe in yourself and your
inner powers --> work hard AND--> you will see the results!
