SEO Social Marketing Network

SEO Social Marketing Network

Marketing on the Internet can be a difficult job, especially if you're trying to go it alone. There are many aspects that need to be taking into consideration before you can even begin to build a successful work at home business, like your marketing niche along with your keyword.

Knowing your market and your keyword, is very important to taking that first step to building a successful business. Is your niche unique, or is it just part of a niche created by someone else? Is you niche within a highly searched area, and does it reflect a highly searched keyword? If not, it will be very difficult for people to find you because if your keyword is not being searched your web site will not be found.

Furthermore, trying to get ranked for a highly searched keyword is much more difficult, especially when going after it alone. Unless you're a very skilled search engine optimization (SEO) specialist, doing it by yourself can be extremely difficult.

On the other hand, if you can assemble a team, a group of individuals working towards the same goal of getting a web site to rank higher on Google, Yahoo! or Bing for a particular keyword, you can get better web site ranking in a shorter period of time. Enter the SEO Social Marketing Networks concept.

SEO Social Marketing Networks is based on teamwork, a small group of individuals working together for the good of the group as a whole. Teams are the core of this system! As you may know, SEO is a profession that takes knowledge and know-how to accomplish a mission successfully. However, within a Social Marketing Network environment, you DO NOT need to know all aspects of SEO, only the task you are delegated (the one you requested) to perform.

Being a part of a team that is working together and moving in the same direction will benefit every member of that team. I believe that's how the Chilean miners survived underground for 69-70 days. They had one leader and they were delegated to responsibilities, and they ALL survived. That is the power of teamwork!

It's no mystery that everyone marketing on the Internet is looking for success. We are looking for anything, any concept, that will help us succeed! We are constantly searching for ways to help us build our work at home businesses, in a more efficient way. I have seen, and I continue to see, the positive results surrounding the concept of SEO Social Marketing Networks. Teamwork does work!

So, whether you're building a Shaklee, Vemma, Mary Kay, Avon, or any other MLM business, teamwork is the way to go. I'd like to invite you to one of our meetings so you can learn how it's done. The meetings are held in a Vereconference room, on Sunday evenings at 6:00 pm PST.

Avoid Work at Home Scams

Real work from home business opportunities are in abundance. However, the Internet has become a breeding ground for get-rich-quick schemes. It seems to me that for every real job, there are hundreds of duds, and many may even be what some people refer to as scams. Don't become a victim of a scam. Do your due-diligence - research the company, and its principals, before joining any work at home business opportunity.

It's not hard to find a real work at home business opportunity, and it's even easier to see the difference between a real work at home business opportunity and a scam. For example, if some one is making outrageous income claims, chances are, it's a scam. If the opportunity they are promoting is based strictly around money, like pay $50 to join and you will get paid a 75% commission once you get three people to join, it's probably a scam. Real businesses sell products, and are typically product based, rather than strictly selling an opportunity. In the real business world you get paid commissions from products and/or services that are sold, NOT on the number of recruits you sign up. There is a good chance that if the company is paying you for recruiting it's probably a pyramid scheme, which is illegal.

Here is it what the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has to say on this subject:

"Multilevel or 'network' marketing plans are a way of selling goods or services through distributors. These plans typically promise that if you sign up as a distributor, you'll receive commissions—for your sales and those of the people you recruit to become distributors. These recruits sometimes are referred to as your 'downline.'"

"Some multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. However, others are illegal pyramid schemes. In pyramids, commissions are based on the number of distributors recruited. Most of the product sales are made to these distributors - not to consumers in general. The underlying goods and services, which vary from vitamins to car leases, serve only to make the schemes look legitimate."

"Joining a pyramid is risky because the vast majority of participants lose money to pay for the rewards of a lucky few. Most people end up with nothing to show for their money except the expensive products or marketing materials they're pressured to buy."

So, if you're looking for a real work at home business, do your research. The Internet has plenty of site where you can find out if the company/opportunity is real. BUT, you have to do the research! DO NOT rely of what a person is telling you - do the research yourself.

Working from home can bring you some extra monthly income, or it can help you to become financially free. However, that is strictly up to you. You have to set your goals. You have to decide what you want to get out of your hard work. You have to make the decision. Nobody can make that decision for you. You have to check out the work at home opportunity, because people will try to sell you on their opportunity. And if you're like the majority of people, you probably do not like to be sold. If you find the perfect work from home opportunity for you, and the company is legit, have fun and work to make your dreams and goals become a reality.

Best Work at Home Businesses

What are the best work at home businesses? Is any work at home business better than another? What makes a work at home business great?

These are just a few questions that come to mind of people when looking for a home based business. However, the fact remains that many people are in dire straits and need money immediately. If that's you, then the best thing to do is go get a real paying job, because most home based businesses are NOT quick fixes for money problems.

What I have found throughout the years of marketing on the Internet is that the majority of "get rich quick" work at home business opportunities are nothing but scams. If you're looking to make money fast, chances are that the opportunity you are considering is a scam. Why? Because the majority of individuals offering this type of opportunity knows your situation, you're desperate, and they pray on your emotions to make themselves rich. It's all about them and has nothing to do with your well being.

It's a known fact that desperate people take desperate measures in desperate times. And many people jump at those ridiculous "get rich quick" schemes. I guess a beautifully painted picture (even if it's only in your mind), of a rosy future, goes a long way to entice someone to join there business opportunity, even if it is a scam. An artist can can make a scam look like a beautiful business opportunity, but in the end, no matter how gorgeous it looks, it's still a scam.

So, what does make a work at home business great, or better yet, what does a great work at home business look like?

First off, a great work at home business has to have viable products and/or services; it cannot be based on money alone.

Money only businesses, like getting paid money when someone signs up under you and pays their money, are scams. However, if you get paid from a product or service sale, from a person you introduced, that is called a commission. Getting paid commissions on products or services that you are directly or indirectly involved with is legitimate.

Now if the person that bought that product, loved it so much, that they wanted to sell the product on their own (by becoming a rep - personally sponsored by you) you would get paid a commission on the product, or service, sold by that rep. That "indirect" product or service sale is not just limited to the person you sponsored, but would also include a person(s) that your personally sponsored rep sponsored. And depending on the company's compensation plan, you could possibly get paid 6 or 7 levels down.

The scenario listed above is what most MLM (multi-level marketing) or network marketing businesses are all about. And, the majority of work at home businesses are network marketing businesses. Why? Because it's the best way to earn a substantial amount of money. However, let me caution you about the money. If you do it strictly for the "money" and forget about helping others, you may find yourself with a lot of people in your organization, but without anyone doing a thing.

Work at Home Advice

Why do most work at home businesses fail? Is it a lack of will power or desire? Is it a lack of knowledge of "business" or just the business that you're involved with? What about a burning desire to succeed, or the willingness to be coached? Do any of the items listed above have anything to do with the high rate of work at home failures?

I believe all of the items listed above can be the downfall of any home business. However, the one factor I believe that caused the most failures in work at home businesses is the failure to listen. Yes, you read that correctly, the failure to listen. You see the majority of people love to talk. They talk about themselves; they talk about their family; they talk about their business; they talk abut their products; and they talk about just about everything else that involves themselves.

In all actuality, what these people are doing is selling. What are they selling? They are selling themselves, their business, and their products. And you know what? Most people hate to be sold! People love to buy, but they hate to be sold. So, if you want to become successful with your work at home business, ask questions and listen.

There is a lot of wisdom in the previous paragraph, because very few people ask questions and then stop to listen to the other person's answer. However, if you find a successful work at home business owner I can almost guarantee you that that person is very good listener.

I received the following excerpt in an email this morning. I'd like to share it with you.

Will You Stop Talking Long Enough To Listen?

Have you ever been in the instance where you simply could not wait to blurt out what you wanted to say?

Have you ever wished you had said what you had said?

How many times have you gotten into an argument with someone, when neither person was listening to the other person?

Have you ever been in a discussion with someone, only to discover a little later, that both of you were actually saying the same thing?

"Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so"

There is a big difference between hearing and listening

Listening involves 3 processes:

1. Interpret: This is where you begin to take in the information and assess it. As you hear the information you begin to make judgments on what you hear. You begin to either agree or disagree on the information.
2. Evaluate: This is when you begin to determine what you will do with the information. Is it useful or not useful? How will you find the information if you find it useful?
3. React: This is where you have actually evaluated the information, and you have made a full determination of what you think about it. This is the most challenging of the 3 processes; because it is so much better to respond than to react.

There are 4 basic types of communication which people have:

1. Phatic: This is the "getting to know you" or the "building of relationships" kind of talk.
2. Cathartic: This is the release of "pent-up emotion" kind of talking. This is the spilling of emotional information, troubles, concerns, etc.
3. Informative: This is the sharing of information, ideas, or data.
4. Persuasive: This is used to reinforce information or ideas, or to change attitudes to produce a specific action.

"Our listening habits are not the result of training, but rather the lack of it"

Studies have shown that we spend about 45% of our waking hours listening.

It is interesting that we spend almost half of each day listening, yet it is one
of the least taught communication skills.
Tests have shown that immediately after hearing a 10-minute lecture, which was properly heard and understood:

• Only one half of the information was retained
• After 48 hours, only 25% is retained

This means that of all things listened to, only 25% will be understood and retained for any real time period.

Good listening habits can be taught, yet they seldom are.

Learn how to listen, and your life will take on great new meaning.

That email, courtesy of the fine folks at Help End Hunger Now, is great for any line of business. If you deal with people on a daily basis you need to know when to talk, when to ask questions, and when to listen. If you do not now how to listen, learn! Yes, you can learn how to listen, and I believe it is necessary to succeed in any business, especially a work at home business. Why? I mentioned it before: "Most people hate to be sold!" On the other hand, most people love to buy.

If your work at home business can get a person out of debt, or can make a person some extra money so they can purchase that new car or home, they will buy into your business. However, do not try to sell them, but rather ask the right questions, and then listen to their answers. When they give you their answer, ask another question, and once again, listen to their answer.

It may take some time to get used to this process; but, if you are persistent and you learn the skill of listening, your chances of becoming successful with your work at home business will greatly increase. If you learn the skill of listening together with asking the right questions, I believe you will be successful.

Work at Home Business

From time to time people ask me what I do. Taking the low road, I usually say I'm a web designer and SEO strategist, even tough I love my TriVita business. So why would I not tell them about TriVita, and that I'm in a network marketing business? Like so many of us, I believe it's the fear of rejection. The fear of loosing a friend, or being accused of working some kind of a pyramid scheme. Whatever the case, bugging my friends to join me in business has never been a passion of mine.

So many individuals that have a work at home business bug their friends to death about joining them. I've seen plenty of relationships destroyed over network marketing, and I'm not about to join that group. However, after reading an article on Google, I may have to change my mind. Below is an excerpt of the article, which can be read in its entirety by going to, http://www.scamxposer.com/trivita-business-opportunity-reviews.html.

...How refreshing!

It took almost 50 years, but there actually is 1 Network Marketing business (well, Trivita is actually called "Cooperative Marketing") that has FINALLY figured it out!

ALL of the problems people have ever had with network marketing - MLM absolutely do NOT exist here!

You know... SIMPLE things like "where do I find a constant source of people hungry for the products?" -or- "I don't like talking to friends & family about my businesses" -or- "" can't figure out how to recruit anyone... or don't like recruiting period" -or- "I don't want to stock products at home" -or- "I never see long term residual income because 95% of my downline quits every year" -or- ... (fill in the blank with what you hate most about MLM)

With Trivita, you can build a consistent, reliable & huge RESIDUAL income entirely from home WITHOUT having to bug friends and family or have any sales or marketing skills whatsoever.

Not only is this a legitimate, highly profitable home based Internet business, but it is now my #1 recommended business opportunity... and the ONLY network marketing business that I currently recommend... and will probably EVER recommend!

WOW!!! That's some statement regarding TriVita, wouldn't you agree? I would have to say that TriVita has figured out the network marketing industry. They have created a work at home business model that cannot be beat. It's the only home business opportunity where you don't have to bug your family and friends. However, you can if you really want to show someone how to create a genuine work at home business, and create long term residual income.

I've been working this business for just over two years, and all it has done is continue to grow. And I have one gentlmen in my upline that stopped working the business for 7-8 months, and came back to see the business has grown "exponentially." I don't think you can say that about many other network marketing businesses, of any at all. That is what TriVita is all about!

If you'd like to learn more about TriVita, call or email me. I'd love to share this terrific opportunity with you.

Work at Home Success

When I think of people looking to work at home I typically think about their actual desires to do so. from my experience, I've found that many individuals tell you they want to work at home, but many have no idea what it takes to make that transition. So I have to ask the question, "Do they really have the desire, drive and fortitude to do what it takes to work from home?"

Desire alone will not get the job done. I can desire all day long that I want to be a professional football player, golfer, or tennis player, but if I do not put forth the effort, drive myself to be the best, and keep going when the muscles are aching, I will never make it.

Desire is more than wanting something; it's the will to do what it takes to become what you desire. And that's no different with a work at home business. If you want to become successful, with a work at home business, you have to have what it takes to overcome the pain and suffering when things are not going as planned.

Too often people quit before their, once sought after, desire fizzles out. Why? Fortitude! The willingness to stay the course when things get really tough; the guts to hang in even though others are telling you it's time to get a job; and the courage to continue moving towards your goals when the money is not coming in as expected. That's what fortitude is all about.

Another thing that comes to my mind is discipline! Do you have the discipline to be able to work from home? It's so easy to get distracted by all the things that need to be done around the house. However, to become successful, one has to have the discipline to avoid those distractions and stay focused on the task at hand. Now I'm not saying there aren't important household tasks that need to be taken care of, because all of us have them. And I know there are certain chores that need to be done on a daily basis.

What I'm talking about is the work that needs to be done to build your business. You need to be focused on that and that only, like calling leads, making sales calls, giving business presentations, and helping others in your organization. Unless you're an extraordinary multi-tasker, all distractions must be eliminated. Working to build your home business is the key, busy work does not count.

This holds true for any type of work at home business, including Mary Kay, Tupperware, Arbonne, Amway, TriVita, MonaVie, Send Out Cards, Herbalife, Melaleuca, or the like. Building one of these businesses does not happen overnight, and it's certainly not going to happen by NOT dong the work.

If you have the desire, drive and fortitude, you can build a successful work at home business. However, staying the course, and avoiding distractions is a point of paramount significance.

If you'd like to learn more about a work at home business opportunity that offers terrific benefits and one that is easy to learn, contact me.

A Franchise Business Opportunity

Thinking about buying a franchise business? Well, now may be the right time, especially if you're looking to be in the restaurant business. Huddle House has announced its 2010 Development Incentive Program. For a limited time they are offering a franchise fee of only $5,000; that's a $20,000 savings. Huddle House is also giving new franchise owners five months without having to pay royalty fees.

So, if you're looking to open a restaurant, Huddle House might be the right franchise business for you.

Huddle House has been in business for more than 45 years. According to their web site, the "Huddle House foundation was created in 1964 as an answer to a simple need. High school football fans in the close-knit community of Decatur, Georgia needed a warm and inviting place to 'huddle-up' with family and friends after Friday night games. The idea took off, and one-by-one new communities gathered at their own Huddle House for delicious comfort food and southern-style hospitality." [1]

In their aggressive marketing campaign, the Huddle House is looking for "qualified franchisees throughout the Southeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southwest for single and multi-unit development opportunities." If you fit the bill, this might be the perfect franchise business opportunity to come along in quite some time.

If you don't have the $5,000 needed to get started, maybe what you need is something similar to a franchise business, but without all the up front expense. Although there are a lot of similarities, there is an alternative to buying a franchise business, and that's with TriVita and their Sonoran Bloom Nopalea opportunity.

You now have a choice, put up thousands of dollars to get started, and pay royalty fees in six months, or pay very little to get started, and pay no royalty fees, ever. It's your choice!
