<h2>How would you like to earn 100% commission?</h2>

<p>David Wood and David Sharpe, online marketing geniuses, have quietly developed a new system where you get paid <b>100% commission</b>. Something that&#8217;s never been done before! Let me introduce you to:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=RayG" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1638 aligncenter" src="http://www.raygreyling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/empower-network1.png" alt="100% Commission With Empower Network" width="300" height="55" /></a></p>

</ul>
<h2>What is Empower Network and how to earn 100% commission</h2>
<p>The empower network is a community of people who want to make more money online and help others do the same. It&#8217;s people helping people make money fast.</p>
<h2>The 100% commission empower network consists of:</h2>
<h3>A viral blogging and marketing system</h3>

<p>This allows you to start blogging and get content online immediately!</p>
<p>You can blog about whatever interests you. Your Services, Favorite Shoes, Restaurants, Trips, anything and you make money doing it!</p>
<h3>An 8 Part training series</h3>
<p>A comprehensive training series has been put together to teach you the fundamentals and core elements you need to get started quickly and earn money fast.</p>
<h3>A Proven Sales Funnel</h3>
<p>David Wood has proven over and over that nothing converts like his sales funnel. You leads are fed into this high converting funnel, which then generates you 100% commissions instantly (paid directly into YOUR bank account.</p>
<h3>Access to a Proprietary 100% Commission system</h3>
<ul>
<li>100% of the money paid by people joining Empower Network through YOU is paid directly from their bank account into YOUR bank account.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The system provides three different levels of membership:</li>

<p>This 100% commission network won&#8217;t interfere with your existing business, MLM company or whatever else you are doing.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What It WILL Do Though Is Generate You Masses Of Income Fast&#8230;</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ll rather spend my time working on getting paid <a href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=RayG">100% commission</a> than spending the same time earning less.</p>
<p>Some people ask… Why Join Empower Network? My question to you is why not…</p>

<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1584" style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" title="OnlineNetworkMarketing-1" src="http://www.raygreyling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/OnlineNetworkMarketing-1-300x216.jpg" alt="Online Network Marketing" width="300" height="216" />I&#8217;m really fed up with all the hype about <b>online network marketing</b>. If you start investigating any online business opportunity you&#8217;re bound to be bombarded with success stories from online marketers who are willing to show you how to make amazing amounts of money online.</p>
<p>The problem is that these people forget where they started and what it took to become successful at <i>online network marketing</i>. They teach from where they are now , and not from where the audience is.</p>
<p>In this article I&#8217;ll show you what to do now from where YOU are to get you to where you&#8217;re successful in <u>online network marketing</u>. Lets first set a realistic expectation. If you&#8217;re looking for a quick fix this isn&#8217;t going to help you.</p>
<blockquote><p>Building an online presence to generate leads and traffic is not easy, but it&#8217;s worth it!</p></blockquote>
<h2>What You Will Learn About Online Network Marketing</h2>
<p>Some of the things you&#8217;ll get from this article are:</p>
<ul>
<li>You&#8217;ll learn strategies that will help you generate profits right now</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll learn how to get your online network marketing questions answered</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll learn to to take your business to the next level</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Truth About Online Network Marketing</h2>
<p>Keep these points in mind as you build your business, they will help you stay focused and increase your chances of success.</p>
<ul>
<li>Online Network Marketing is a long term solution. It doesn&#8217;t help &#8216;trying it&#8217; for 14 days to see if it works. If this is your mindset then don&#8217;t even bother, you may as well quit now before you get started.</li>
<li>If you follow the strategies discussed in this article diligently and consistently over time you WILL generate leads.</li>
<li>Until you have build a large online brand you still need to get on the phone daily, unless you don&#8217;t need leads in the interim.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t just concentrate on Online Network Marketing but also incorporate offline strategies as well.</li>
<li>Time management is critical. You can work ten hours a day and still not make any money. Develop a good balance on learning what needs to be done and doing.</li>
<li>It is harder to get to generating $1000/month than it is getting from $1000/month to $10 000/month. You need to get to the point of &#8216;critical mass&#8217;, the longer you stay with it the better your chances are of making a success.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How To Become Profitable with Online Network Marketing</h2>
<p>There are a lot of people doing online network marketing but unfortunately many of them don&#8217;t fully understand the concept and end up quitting after two or three months. The online network marketing scene is littered with the corpses of good marketers that simply got frustrated, overwhelmed or passed away from information overload.</p>
<h3>Three Steps to Online Network Marketing</h3>
<h3>Online Network Marketing Step 1 -  Build A List</h3>
<p>Building a list is all about lead generation. If you don&#8217;t have leads coming into your business, you&#8217;re not going to be in business very long. So the question then is how do you generate leads.</p>
<p>One of the best ways to generate leads is to solve your target audiences problems. Helping people by providing valuable content promotes you as a leader and at the same time enables you to build your list by capturing their information in exchange for your content.</p>
<p>Provide content via your own blog. Blogging allows you to brand yourself as a leader and your blog act as a central hub for your brand. Everything you do both online and offline should drive people to your blog.</p>
<p>Optimize your blog for the search engines, which will drive even more people to your blog where you can capture their contact information.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also need to build a marketing funnel. Your funnel drives traffic from various sources like your blog, social media sites and search engines to lead capture pages. Without a sales funnel people that see your content may leave never to be seen again.</p>
<p>Keep driving traffic by creating content on a daily basis. This includes blog posts, articles and videos. Syndicate this content to various places like, Facebook Groups &amp; Fanpages, twitter, Linkedin, Tribes, Youtube and article directories,  to drive even more traffic.</p>
<h3>Online Network Marketing Step 2 -  Build A Relationship With Your List</h3>
<p>Once you have a list it&#8217;s essential that you connect with the people on your list regularly. Staying in touch with your list enables you to slowly build a relationship with individuals. A few ways to build relationships is by contacting your leads via phone, Skype, Social Media sites like Facebook and twitter as well as via an email autoresponder.</p>
<h3>Online Network Marketing Step 3 -  Monetize Your List</h3>
<p>After you have build a relationship with your leads and solved their problems the last step is in online network marketing is to enroll them in your network marketing company or sell them other products (yours or affiliate products). In this way, you start to generate multiple streams of income.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Online network marketing is definitely a solution for those who want to be financially free. Remember though you need to put in the work, grow constantly as a leader and stick with it. The beauty about online network marketing is that it can be largely automated. I did this in 2009 and use a <a href="http://mlmbuzzmarketing.com/?t=OnlineNetwork MarketingBlog">lead generation system</a> which allows me more time to concentrate on other things.</p>

While a lot of people are looking at traditional investment vehicles many more are searching for the best ways of making more money over the Internet.</p>
<p>One thing I find strange though is that a lot of people are looking for ways of making more money but aren&#8217;t willing to put in the time and effort. These folk will keep looking for the get rich quick schemes and continuously jump from one opportunity to the other.</p>
<p>I have been doing online marketing for years and let me tell you that you can make money online, you can make a lot of money online. The secret is that it takes time, lots of effort and consistency. If you&#8217;re willing to do what it takes it&#8217;ll change your life.</p>
<h2>Having Said That Lets Look At The Best Investments For 2011 From A Different Perspective.</h2>
<p>What I mean here is what are the <i>best investments for 2011</i> that you can make that will open up new opportunities for you to make the level of money that you want.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m suggesting that you look at the <u>best investments for 2011</u> that will set you on the road to financial freedom. Here are two suggestions:</p>
<h3>Suggestion 1 for the best investments for 2011 &#8211; Invest in your own education</h3>
<p>Educating yourself is one of the best investments that you can make. Learning new skills makes you more valuable, and your education is an asset that can never be taken away. Being more valuable means you have more to offer which makes you more marketable leading to your ability to make more money over a longer period of time.</p>
<p>I love online marketing and suggest that it&#8217;s one of the best investments for 2011 because I believe that it&#8217;s an ideal choice for many people because of it&#8217;s many outstanding advantages. Online marketing has leveled the playing field and anybody can get into it and prosper as long as they&#8217;re willing to learn how to do it and work hard.</p>
<p>The start up costs of online marketing is very low and yet it offers huge income potential. It&#8217;s also possible to do it either full or part time.</p>
<p>Online marketing training can take anything from a few months to years. Actually once you&#8217;re up and running and practicing online marketing you&#8217;ll find that it&#8217;s a continuously changing field and you&#8217;ll need to keep learning to stay current. What works today in online marketing may be completely obsolete in six months.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re going to need to learn to adapt and change.</p>
<p>Most online marketing training is available online which means that you can do it from anywhere, anytime.</p>
<h3>Suggestion 2 for the best investments for 2011 &#8211; Start Your Own Business</h3>
<p>Now before you go off and say yeah right I&#8217;m going to start my own business. Consider what Robert Kiyosaki author of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of books calls the business of the 21st century.</p>
<p>Network marketing offers anybody the opportunity of getting into business for themselves by joining an existing company with a proven business model.</p>
<p>I do online and network marketing every day and I know that it works if you&#8217;re willing to work at it. So make one of your best investments for 2011 and get started making money online. You could do it to supplement your existing income or to fire your boss. Start by learning how to do Online Marketing. Here&#8217;s <a href="http://mlmbuzzmarketing.com">My Lead System Pro</a> the system I use to generate online leads for my business.</p>
<p>If you want to start your own Network Marketing business I recommend looking at <a href="http://numis.MLMbuzzmarketing.com">Numis Network</a> the business I chose and what was one of my best investments for 2011.</p>

<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1208" style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" title="unemployed" src="http://www.raygreyling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/unemployed.jpg" alt="employee termination letter"width="194" height="224" />Most people, especially in today&#8217;s economy live in absolute fear of getting the dreaded <b>Employee Termination Letter</b>. To them it means the end of life. To me it means opportunity, and the beginning of a new life where I&#8217;m in charge and making money from home.</p>
<p>The advent of modern technology and especially the Internet has had major effects on the job market. Firstly many jobs previously handled by individuals are now being automated and done by computers or other machines. Secondly and more importantly is the fact that the Internet has made the world smaller and many jobs are being outsourced to countries where the cost of labor is much lower than in the US.</p>
<p>The struggling global economy is not helping the situation either and more and more companies are laying people off.</p>
<p>You may not want to think about it, but YOU could receive that <i>employee termination letter</i> today, tomorrow, next week or next year! Are you prepared for it?</p>
<p>If you should get the dreaded <u>employee termination letter</u> today will you be able to maintain your current lifestyle? Could you maintain your car, pay your utility bills, pay the rent or mortgage on your house, pay your children&#8217;s education. The answer to this depends on how well you&#8217;re prepared. Sadly most people would have to admit that their lives would be turned upside down and they couldn&#8217;t meet their financial obligations.</p>
<h2>Don&#8217;t Fear the Employee Termination Letter But Embrace It</h2>
<p>Receiving an employee termination letter can cause serious stress and even lead to a heart attack if you&#8217;re not prepared for it. Instead think of it as an opportunity to start making money online from the comfort of your home. I know it&#8217;s difficult but instead of dwelling on questions like &#8220;why me&#8221; or &#8220;Why now&#8221; jump at the opportunity of building your future and not being a slave to the corporation.</p>
<p>Instead of trying to find a new job  I invite you to consider the profession of Online Marketing. This is a very simple strategy of making money from home. You also can&#8217;t loose your job because you&#8217;re working for yourself and building a better future.</p>
<h3>Don&#8217;t Wait For The Employee Termination Letter, You Can Start Making Money Now, Regardless Of Having A Job</h3>
<p>Even if you haven&#8217;t received an employee termination letter, or even if you do not expect to receive one, you should still consider online marketing. Just about everyone can do with a little extra income. Also by starting online marketing now you can begin generating an additional form of income and then when you&#8217;re ready to quit your job or are forced out you&#8217;ll already have a head start on the rest of the crowd.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why I&#8217;m advocating online marketing as opposed to other forms of making money it&#8217;s because the Internet is the way of the future. More and more companies are using the Internet. The Internet is becoming more accessible to people everywhere and as such new markets are opening up. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if you knew how to tap into these markets and make money online.</p>
<p>Online Marketing also gives you the freedom of being able to work from anywhere, all you need is an Internet connection.</p>
<p>With online marketing you can combine several marketing strategies to build multiple streams of income. These may include niche marketing, viral marketing, affiliate marketing and even using the Internet to generate leads for your MLM or Network Marketing business.</p>
<p>Starting now, think of the employee termination letter not as the end of life but rather the opportunity of beginning a new life where you are in control of your future and wealth.</p>
<p>The first step is to learn how to make money with Online Marketing. Here&#8217;s the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mlmbuzzmarketing.com" target="_blank">system</a> I use that generates multiple sources of income for me while also pointing tons of leads to my primary business which in my opinion is the <a title="Best MLM Opportunity" href="http://www.raygreyling.com/best-mlm-opportunity/">best opportunity for building wealth</a>.</p>

While most people have some idea what keywords are, very few actually do proper <b>keyword research</b> and design their online business with relevant keywords in mind. Some people write their content around specific keywords but fail to consider the value of the keyword and then wonder why they get little to no traffic to their website.</p>
<h2>Introduction to Keyword Research</h2>
<p>In order to better understand <i>keyword research</i> we first need to define:</p>
<ul>
<li>what is a market</li>
<li>what is a niche and how it relates to a market</li>
<li>the role of keywords and why they&#8217;re important</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>A market</strong> &#8211; is a community of people who share a common interest in a particular subject or activity. Markets often have their own language using terms and acronyms unique to that market. For example the photography market uses terms like SLR, F stop, ASA etc.</p>
<p><strong>A niche</strong>  &#8211; is a subset of a market that relates to a specific topic within that market. To use the photography market as an example niches within this market could be Digital Cameras, Traditional Film Cameras, Video Cameras, Camera accessories etc.</p>
<p><strong>Keywords</strong> &#8211; are words or phrases that members of a market type into a search engine in order to explore a certain niche. You can think of a keyword phrase as a key that opens a specific door to a market niche. The number of people using a keyword phrase to explore a particular niche varies greatly and as a result a keyword has a value based on the number of people using it to access the niche.</p>
<h3>The biggest success factors to online marketing are:</h3>
<ol>
<li>The Market you choose</li>
<li>Keywords you target</li>
</ol>
<p>If either of these are wrong you won&#8217;t succeed, and this is where most online marketers fail.</p>
<h3>To Succeed You Need To :</h3>
<ol>
<li>Research Your Market</li>
<li>Identify Profitable Niches</li>
<li>Conduct <u>Keyword Research</u> and Target Specific Keywords</li>
<li>Follow A Plan</li>
</ol>
<p>In Online Marketing You Will Spend As Much Time Building An Unsuccessful Business As Building A Successful One</p>
<h2>Keyword Research &#8211; Relevant Keywords</h2>
<p>Understanding keyword research is vital to identifying profitable keywords around which to build your website. I think of keyword research as panning for gold.</p>
<ul>
<li>You start with a large number of keywords (your bucket of gravel).</li>
<li>You then filter out the keywords that are obviously not relevant (removing all the large stones in your bucket of gravel).</li>
<li>Now you look at how much traffic those keywords are getting (sift out medium sized stones in your gravel).</li>
<li>Take these keywords and look at how much competition they have (you&#8217;re getting close, filter out the small stones).</li>
<li>Lastly you look at the commerciality of your keywords (pick all the really small stones and particles)</li>
</ul>
<p>At the end what you&#8217;re left with are a few <strong>&#8220;Gold Nugget Keywords&#8221;</strong>. The 4 golden rules in doing keyword research are:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Relevance</strong> &#8211; keywords need to have a high level of relevance to your website.</li>
<li><strong>Traffic</strong> &#8211; The keyword needs to generate a decent amount of traffic</li>
<li><strong>Competition</strong> &#8211; There must be an acceptable level of competition</li>
<li><strong>Commerciality</strong> &#8211; Must be high.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Keyword Research &#8211; High Traffic Keywords</h2>
<p>Over 90% of all keywords have insignificant levels of traffic and are not worth using. Many people target keywords at random and receive little to no traffic.</p>
<h2>Keyword Research &#8211; Keyword Competition</h2>
<p>The level of competition is the most important factor in keyword research. In order to get a steady stream of traffic to your website you need to be on the front page of Google. Unfortunately there are only 10 spots available on the front page for each keyword phrase and there are often thousands of websites competing for those 10 spots.</p>
<p>There are also two important aspects of competition that you need to consider.</p>
<ol>
<li>The amount of competition i.e. how many people are competing for that keyword phrase.</li>
<li>The strength of the competition. Many people fail because they don&#8217;t access the strength of the competition they are targeting.</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Doing proper keyword research will save you years of frustration!</h3>
<h2>Keyword Research &#8211; Commerciality</h2>
<p>Commerciality is a measure of the profitability of a keyword. You can get an idea of how valuable a keyword is by looking at what advertisers are paying for adwords in Google.</p>
<p>Doing keyword research will quickly show that most if not all the broad keywords have too much competition and one needs to look at long tail keywords to find keywords that fit the 4 golden rules namely relevance, traffic, competition and commerciality.</p>
<p>Long tail keywords are keyword phrases containing three or more words in the phrase. One can also differentiate between:</p>
<ul>
<li>Long tail derivative keywords &#8211; which are phrases that contain the theme keyword phrase</li>
<li>Long tail semantic keywords &#8211; which are phrases that are related to the theme keyword phrase.</li>
</ul>
<p>With this understanding of keyword research and why it&#8217;s important we can summarize our site building strategy as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select one main theme keyword &#8211; which is the main subject of your website &#8211; market</li>
<li>Select a number of niche keywords &#8211; which make up different categories on your site &#8211; niches</li>
</ul>
<p>The content on your site should contain articles around</p>
<ul>
<li>your theme keyword</li>
<li>category keywords</li>
<li>long tail derivative keywords</li>
<li>semantic keywords</li>
</ul>
<p>In this way you&#8217;ll be attracting highly relevant, targeted traffic in sufficient numbers and with low enough competition to be profitable to you.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-893" style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" title="online-marketing" src="http://www.raygreyling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/online-marketing-300x282.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="282" /><b>Online Marketing</b> is all about using the Internet to market your business. You may have an online store or a more traditional brick and mortar business but either way there are some basic techniques and strategies that have been proven to work. Ultimately what you&#8217;re trying to do is to generate leads for your business and then convert those leads into customers.</p>
<p>In this post I&#8217;m going to explain what <i>Online Marketing</i> is all about and what the successful marketers are doing to set themselves apart.</p>
<p>Before I get into that though I&#8217;d like you to think about why you want to do <u>online marketing</u>. The reason I say this is that too many people try doing online marketing and then quit because they&#8217;re not getting results. You need to understand what your long term goal is but more importantly you need to set short term realistic goals to help keep you focused and moving forward.</p>
<h2>Lead Generation &#8211; What Works</h2>
<p>The first step in Online Marketing is generating leads. This is unfortunately where 90% of online marketing fails. It is especially true with those trying to promote Network Marketing or other work from home businesses. We&#8217;ve all see things like the following:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">*** Ray Limited Time Only*** I Will Help 10 People Make 10k In The Next 30 Days&#8230; ***</p>
<p><strong>Nonsense!</strong> How many people do you know that can go into a new business and make 10k in their first month.</p>
<p>The best way to generate leads is to solve peoples problems. People are looking for information, community, product &amp; services and entertainment. Offer what they&#8217;re looking for and you will generate leads.</p>
<h3>To succeed in Online Marketing you need to</h3>
<ul>
<li>build a list of your leads.</li>
<li>build a relationship with your list</li>
<li>market to and monetize that list</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ll say it again if you want to have happy long term customers you need to FIRST build a relationship with them. Send your leads to a capture page which could be on your company website, blog or a landing page.</p>
<h2>What to do with your leads</h2>
<p>This is the second area where online marketing fails. They forget that they need to build a relationship with their leads. So here&#8217;s what you do:</p>
<p>You capture their email information so that you can market to them repeatedly over time. This is how you build the relationship. People aren&#8217;t going to buy from you the first time they see your offer, it normally takes around seven contacts before they&#8217;re ready to buy.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re effectively building your list because it&#8217;s more effective marketing to existing customers than it is to find new customers. I use Aweber, which is an email marketing service that allows me to keep in touch with my list. You then monitize your list by providing solutions to your leads problems. This could be information, products or services.</p>
<h2>Online Marketing Tools</h2>
<p>You can easily do Online Marketing without spending a lot of money but if you&#8217;re serious about building an online marketing empire you&#8217;re going to need to leverage your time. Many of the strategies are time consuming and as your business grows your going to find that you need to use some tools to automate your online marketing.</p>
<p>I would suggest learning about <a title="Marketing Online? It’s All About Attraction Marketing!" href="http://www.raygreyling.com/2009/08/23/marketing-online-its-all-about-attraction-marketing/">attraction marketing</a> as this is the single most effective way of online marketing. You&#8217;re going to want to plug your leads into a <a href="http://www.MLMbuzzmarketing.com">marketing system</a> to help you convert those leads into customers. You generate leads through providing useful online content (articles, videos and blogs) based around specific keywords. Keyword research tools and article marketing software are indispensable in online marketing and for generating lots of targeted leads.</p>
<h2>Efficiency in Your Day Leads to Online Marketing Success</h2>
<p>As I mentioned previously time is your most valuable resource. Managing your day effectively is going to make you more efficient and enable you to get more things done. Here are some thoughts on building efficiency in what you do.</p>
<ul>
<li>Define your Short and long term goals &#8211; achieving you short term goals is going to help you stay focussed and move you towards your ultimate goal</li>
<li>Daily Tasks List &#8211; I have a list of things I need to do on a daily bases</li>
<li>Email &#8211; Learn how to use your email system more efficiently. Filter incoming massages for example and redirect them to different folders, making it easier to keep track of what needs to be done</li>
<li>Use a Calendar &#8211; What I mean here is that you should set out specific times for different tasks. Have a set time when you follow up with your leads.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Here are four questions you need to be able to answer in 30 seconds to be successful in online marketing</h3>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Who am I</li>
<li>What do I offer</li>
<li>Why do I/you need it</li>
<li>How do I/you get it</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>Anyone can do online marketing successfully if you just follow the basics. At the end of the day it&#8217;s all about knowing what you want to achieve, building relationships with your target market and being consistent.</p>

		</div>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-786" style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" title="dollars" src="http://www.raygreyling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/dollars-297x300.jpg" alt="Dollars" width="297" height="300" />Last night I was on a conference call with <strong>Ray Higdon</strong> doing a question and answer session about <strong>Online Network Marketing</strong>. For those of you who don&#8217;t know Ray, he&#8217;s the top earner in his company, having achieved this in about eighteen months after starting from scratch. He&#8217;s extremely knowledgeable, a great guy to talk to and has a lot to offer.</p>
<p>One of the questions that came up was<em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>&#8220;Is it really possible to make serious money on the Internet&#8221;</strong></em>.</p>
<p>We have all seen the well written sales copy promising six figure earnings doing online marketing. The person asking the question was just starting out in <strong>Online Marketing</strong> and was having doubts about the whole online marketing thing.</p>
<p>Ray&#8217;s answer put Online Marketing into perspective and it&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve heard an Online Marketer tell it like it is. As he explains it, the path to online success is made up of three stages.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 1. </strong>During stage 1 the marketer needs to set up the marketing system. This involves setting up:</p>
<ul>
<li>your sales funnel,</li>
<li>creating a blog or website,</li>
<li>creating landing and capture pages,</li>
<li>setting up autoresponders,</li>
<li>writing autoresponder messages</li>
<li>setting up syndication systems etc. etc.</li>
</ul>
<div>All this needs to be done before you even start working to sell your product or service. Stage 1 sucks and Ray calls it <strong>Sucksville</strong>.</div>
<div><strong>Stage 2.</strong> Only after you have everything set up and have moved on from Sucksville can you start working your online marketing business. This includes:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Research content</li>
<li>Creating content (every day)</li>
<li>Writing training material</li>
<li>Syndicating your content</li>
<li>Back linking to your site</li>
<li>Capturing leads</li>
<li>Following up on leads</li>
<li>Closing the sale</li>
</ul>
<div>While you will start bringing in some money in stage 2, this stage is all about <strong>building momentum</strong>.</div>
</div>
<div><strong>Stage 3.</strong> <strong>Gravy-train!</strong>  You reach stage 3 when all your systems are in place, you have build up a following and you&#8217;re bringing in leads on autopilot. Stage 3 requires maintenance to keep it running but not nearly as much work as stages 1 &amp; 2.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What does it take to do this?</h2>
<div>Well in the normal world working a regular job takes anything from 60 -80 hours or more per week to earn a six figure income. Why should it be any different for online marketing. Be prepared to invest your 60 -80 hours per week in the beginning to make it a success.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">What timeframe are we looking at?</h2>
<div>This is going to depend on if you&#8217;re doing it full time or part time. I you&#8217;re doing it full time be prepared for the following (part time will take longer):</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Stage 1 (Sucksville): 1-2 months 6-8 hours per day</li>
<li>Stage 2 (Work): 6-12 months</li>
<li>Stage 3 (Gravy train): After the first 12 months</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Some things to remember!</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ol>
<li><strong>EVERY</strong> successful marketer has gone through <strong>Sucksville</strong> and stage 2 to get to stage 3. Unfortunately 90% of marketers never get out of Sucksville and quit. If you&#8217;re planning on giving it a go for a few weeks or 1 -2 months don&#8217;t bother. Don&#8217;t waste your time go do something else.</li>
<li>There is <strong>NO</strong> shortcut to stage 3</li>
<li><strong>EVERY</strong> marketer is selling from stage 3</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Network Marketing &amp; Online Marketing are Long Term Solutions, be consistent and build your business one inch at a time.</strong></div>
<div>Making serious money online is possible if you&#8217;re willing to put in the time and effort.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Your income equals the value you put into the marketplace. If you don&#8217;t have time to create value &#8211; the market won&#8217;t have time to pay you.</strong></div>
</div>
<div>P.S. If you need help getting out of <strong>Sucksville</strong> feel free to look at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mlmbuzzmarketing.com" target="_blank">the system I use</a> to build and maintain my Online Marketing business.</div>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-691" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="OnlineNetworkMarketing" src="http://www.raygreyling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/OnlineNetworkMarketing.jpg" alt="Online Network Marketing" width="304" height="284" />When I first got introduced to the Internet I knew it was for me. My gut just told me that if I wanted to start my own business I had to leverage the power of the Internet to make the most of technology.</p>
<p>Over the years I developed a web design business that has since evolved into a business where I concentrate mainly on helping others market themselves online. I started getting more and more inquiries from <strong>Network Marketers</strong> about what they could do to generate leads.</p>
<p>I never considered <strong>Network Marketing</strong> for myself because I&#8217;m no salesman, and to be honest I never really found a product that appealed to me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>I knew my biggest challenge would be for me to get people to <a href="http://numis.mlmbuzzmarketing.com" target="_blank">look at my opportunity</a>.</em></p>
<p>In order to help my Network Marketing clients I had to started researching <strong>Network Marketing</strong> and what the leaders in the field were doing online.</p>
<p>The things I found out blew my mind!</p>
<p>I thought I knew a lot about <strong>Internet Marketing</strong>, but these guys showed me how far behind I really was. I have since joined a <a href="http://numis.mlmbuzzmarketing.com" target="_blank">network marketing company</a> that really works for me. When I started following what these guys were doing my business changed and I&#8217;m now doing what they do.</p>
<h2>Here are 4 Good Reasons to Take Your Business Online</h2>
<h3>1. Freedom</h3>
<p>It first started when I found a guy by the name of <strong>Brian Fanale</strong>. He was a twenty something year old who had skyrocketed to being the top earner in his company. I followed what he was doing for a few months and then eventually gave him a call. He started me down the road to effective <strong>online marketing</strong>. I then got introduced to <strong>David Wood</strong> another wiz kid that showed me how to generate tons of traffic to my websites and keep my sales funnel full. One of the biggest things I found out is that these guys run their businesses with very little effort as all the heavy lifting is on autopilot.</p>
<h3>2. Trust The System</h3>
<p>It took me a few weeks to set up my online marketing system. When the leads started rolling in I knew that I had made the right choice and my confidence doubled. The system that these guys use is all laid out with step by step instructions. The best part is that I don&#8217;t need to get people to join my opportunity anymore because the system does that for you. All you need to do is to keep moving forward.</p>
<h3>3. Learn the Business from a Rival</h3>
<p>I&#8217;m actually glad I never got involved in <strong>Network Marketing</strong> before, because if I had started off with the offline strategies I would have quit and failed. The Internet allows us to network with each other with the goal of learning.  For the most part Network Marketers online help each other no matter what company they&#8217;re affiliated with.</p>
<h3>4. Connecting with People</h3>
<p>My feeling is that marketers who don&#8217;t use online marketing think that it&#8217;s impersonal and that you just hide behind your screen all day and never call or communicate with anyone. I&#8217;ve actually found the opposite to be true.</p>
<p>In fact the other day <strong>Brian Fanale</strong>, one of the MLSP team leaders, personally fixed a glitch on my blog. Another great example is <strong>Lawrence Tam</strong>, he’s my direct up-line and I can send him an email or I can Skype him or just pick up the phone and call him and he’ll connect with me. I’m not talking about guys that barely make a living at this either, <strong>these guys make a ton of money</strong> and most of em’ are top earners and recruiters in their companies. The internet is a fantastic way to connect with others and I’ve found that if you’re serious and take action,<strong> the leaders will connect with you.</strong></p>
<div>
<p>I could go on about why I like doing this stuff online but the main thing I want to express is that<strong> the internet isn’t something to be afraid of,</strong> and it allows you to reach a much wider audience. On the other hand you should do what works best for you. Obviously I like using the Internet but if you want to do home meetings and all that jazz go for it. I use the net to connect faster and more efficiently with others.</p>
<p>The Greatest thing though is that I’m connecting with people when I’m out riding or having dinner with my wife.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to your success!</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-648" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Online_MLM__Internet_Network_Marketing_" src="http://www.raygreyling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Online_MLM__Internet_Network_Marketing_.png" alt="Online Network Marketing" width="288" height="235" />Many Network Marketers and Network Marketing Companies are trying to leverage the power of the Internet to grow their businesses. Companies provide marketers with their own branded websites, some start their own blogs or try using various Social Media tools to sell their products. Unfortunately most don&#8217;t have much success with online  marketing and fall back on concentrating their efforts on the more traditional off-line marketing strategies.</p>
<p>Online Marketing if done correctly can have a huge impact on your business and it&#8217;s worth looking at what some of the experts are doing.<span id="more-641"></span></p>
<h2>The MLM Process</h2>
<p>We can basically think of the Network Marketing process as having four steps or stages.</p>
<ol>
<li>Generate Leads or Prospects</li>
<li>Present the Opportunity to your Prospects</li>
<li>Follow Up with your prospects after the presentation</li>
<li>Close people in the business</li>
</ol>
<p>If we as network marketers are able to take people through the process we&#8217;re growing our business. Network Marketing is after all a recruiting business. It&#8217;s all about building your team.</p>
<h2>Problems</h2>
<ol>
<li>The first problem Network Marketers run into is that they have no prospects. In online terms you need to have lots of traffic coming to your website.</li>
<li>Secondly once you get them to your website are you able to give them a quality presentation on the opportunity?</li>
<li>The next problem you run into is once you start generating leads how do you (as one person) cope with doing the work of 100&#8242;s of people and follow up with all your leads.</li>
<li>Lastly many Network Marketers never ask people to join or sign up for the opportunity.</li>
</ol>
<h2>How To Make it Work Online</h2>
<p>Lets concentrate on generating traffic online. Follow up and closing can come later but if you don&#8217;t have and traffic you don&#8217;t have a business.</p>
<h3>Generating Traffic</h3>
<p>Think of your website or blog as an island in the middle of the ocean. You are the only one on your island and although you may have products and services to sell, no one knows about them or can get to your island.</p>
<p>There are many other islands in the ocean with thousands of people who may be looking for your products and services. Some of the larger islands are <strong>Google search, Social Media</strong> sites like <strong>Facebook</strong> and <strong>twitter</strong>, and <strong>Youtube</strong>.</p>
<p>In order for you to get people to your island (website) you need to build bridges to your island from those islands that have the biggest populations i.e. google, facebook, twitter and youtube.</p>
<p>The material for these bridges are articles, videos and shared content on social media sites. The content you create all have links to your site . These back-links are  the bridges that allow traffic to get to your site.</p>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>The biggest challenge in Online Marketing is generating traffic. To have any hope of being successful online you need to constantly be doing the following.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Create &#8211; Syndicate &#8211; Backlink</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>remember</strong></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Create &#8211; Syndicate &#8211; Backlink</strong></span></h2>

<p>Ever wondered: <strong>“what’s the ‘best’ day and time to send an email?”</strong></p>
<p>If so, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most popular questions about <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?325468" target="_blank">email marketing</a>. It has spawned innumerable studies over the years, and we hear it at AWeber almost every day.</p>
<p>There’s just one problem:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Answer Isn’t The Same For Everyone!</p>
<ul>
<li>The best day for you might not be the best day for the next guy.</li>
<li>The best day changes from month to month and from report to report.</li>
<li>The best time can be different for subscribers in different parts of the world.</li>
<li>Not all messages necessarily “work” on the same day or at the same time.</li>
</ul>
<p>And besides…</p>
<p>It’s Not Really About The Single “Best” Time or Day Anyway, Is It?</p>
<p>If someone told you “9:32 and 14 seconds on Tuesday morning” was the best time, would you try to send <strong>every single one of your emails</strong> only on Tuesday, and only at 9:32AM?</p>
<p>I doubt it. Besides the fact that your subscribers aren’t spending every waking moment waiting for your next email, after about 2-3 months of sending only on Tuesday, you’d be in a real pickle if you ever wanted to send out a message on say, Thursday. Nobody would expect it.</p>
<p>Optimizing your sending days and times isn’t about finding one “best” time and hammering it to death.</p>
<p>It’s About NOT Sending on Days or Times That Make Absolutely No Sense.</p>
<p>What you <strong>want</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Avoid sending at poor times.</strong> Example: maybe you don’t want to send at 10:30 at night, since you know subscribers will get other emails between then and when they check your email. You want to avoid having yours pushed to the “middle of the pack” (making it more likely to get overlooked).</li>
<li><strong>Avoid sending on low-activity days.</strong> Example: why send on the weekend if you run a B2B email marketing campaign and know your subscribers only read and respond during the week?</li>
<li>Build a little <strong>common sense</strong> into your message intervals.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is easy enough for <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?325468" target="_blank">email newsletters</a> – you can easily set a date and time for each issue…</p>
<p>… but what about sequential <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?325468/autoresponders.htm" target="_blank">autoresponders</a>? They just go out “X” number of days apart, right?</p>
<p>What We Need Are “Smarter” Autoresponders</p>
<p>Ideally, your autoresponders could:</p>
<ul>
<li>Deliver themselves <strong>only during the days and times you want</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Avoid days and times that don’t work</strong> for your subscribers.</li>
</ul>
<p>That way, they’d <strong>automatically deliver themselves during appropriate times on appropriate days</strong> – just as you would if you were doing them by hand!</p>
<p>It’s a shame they don’t do that…</p>
<p>Wait. They Don’t Do That… Do They?</p>
