IPC (Independent Profit Center) An Honest Complete Review
Finally, a Chance for the “Average Joe” to Make Money….
There are a million and one Internet Based Opportunities out there, and I don’t like to claim anyone is the best. I was already affiliated with two programs so I definitely wasn’t planning on joining another, but as one of my marketing mentors once told me, you’ve got to have a healthy marketing funnel. There should be something in there that appeals to different kinds of people.
And the truth is, it takes alot of time and money to build a traditional mlm. It can take months to see a nice residual income from it.
And higher ticket items are great, but not everyone can afford them.
So kinda like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, I wanted to add one that was “just right”.
So one day, out of the blue, and I don’t believe by any coincidence at all, I stumbled upon someone’s website for the Independent Profit Center AKA IPC.
I was skeptical at first, but after thoroughly checking out the site, I felt it was safe to make a move and join.
Mind you, I take my online reputation very seriously, so I didn’t want to affiliate myself with anything that was substandard, or shady.
Here are some of the reasons I ended up taking the plunge with IPC.
1. I got to see the back office before I invested a penny.
Literally, you get your own website, which is extremely attractive and appealing, before you even put down a dime, that way you really have an opportunity to get a birds eye view of what’s going on with the program.
2. It’s so darn affordable, you can’t help but plunk your money down.
At only $200.00 it is a blessing for the average joe, or the internet newbie, who wants to dip his foot in the pool in the online business world, without losing their shirts.
3.All the marketing training is provided in the back office.
When I saw what was back there, my jaw dropped to the floor because the information is so detailed, that the marketing training alone, should be over $600 yet it is included with the price. There are Gurus out there charging boatloads of money for this same information, and it is Free to IPC Business Owners.
4. The business model is perfect.
100% commission, get paid on the spot. No waiting till the end of the month for a check to arrive in the mail. Advertise today, make a sale, get paid instantly. That is a relief in itself because it allows the newbie marketer to experience results relatively quickly and motivates them to stay in the game.
5. It is NOT MLM.
I gotta say, this one of the most attractive things about it. And I’ll tell you why. Building a team is not something everyone can do. It takes great skill and leadership. The IPC is a one time deal. You purchase from someone, and then it’s just you and the training portal. No commissions to payout to your sponsor, no downline to worry about, no training calls to attend 3 times a week, no meetings. Just advertise, send traffic to your site, brand yourself, and you’re good.
6. The product is a quality product.
They have hand selected software and books that are tailored to helping you succeed online. It’s not just a hodgepodge of junk. They include mindset materials (which are crucial to online success), marketing materials and business software.
7.You own your List:
If you know anything about internet marketing, you know that the “money” is in the list. The Independent Profit Center is attached to your own Aweber or Getresponse, Autoresponder account. This is crucial. You control your own leads, not the company. If you don’t know anything about internet marketing, trust me, that is huge.
8 Built in E-mail Follow up System:
Plug and play, email follow up system. Following up with leads is crucial to the conversion process. It will take some people time to decide whether they want to join or not, and the IPC program knows that. So they have created a high converting email follow up campaign, that with the simple plug in of a code to your autoresponder, a whole 14 day follow up is already programmed. No need to write your own. That saves a bunch of time!!
9. 15 Minute Set up. It took me 15 minutes to set up the whole website. And they also have an optional hosting feature where you can download the entire site and host it on your own servers. I’m impressed with this because it shows that IPC is interested in the success of the distributor by encouraging true ownership of the business.
10. Failure is not an Option: The Independent Profit Center has really built a solid opportunity here because it has set it’s distributors up for success. With an affordable, valueable product, extensive marketing training, and attractive high converting websites. You will only fail, if you quit. So I believe as long as one takes massive action, one will definitely be successful with the program.
Any downfalls?
Well, it depends on what you consider a downfall. The only downfall I see so far is that if you want the “optional” live training, it’s a one time fee of $67.00. In my opinion that is “chump change” considering what I have invested in Marketing courses and mentorships in the past year and a half.
I am cautiously excited. I have not even at this point sent a notification to my list that I joined the program because I want to test and prove that the system does work, even for the newbie. And here is one last observation, the Independent Profit Center is a great “Business-in-a-Box” type of program. The Marketing Training alone is worth the price of enrollment.
I sincerely believe that anyone who joins the program and follows through, will enjoy making money with this program.
In this time of economic instability, it’s so important that the average joe has a real chance to make money on line with a legitimate opportunity. So I will be writing more articles as I progress in the program.
So far it’s been less than 24 hours I’ve been in and I’ve taken immediate action by writing articles and setting up a google adwords campaign. I’ll keep you posted.

Independent Profit Center (IPC) Goldilocks Would Love it….
This one is too small, this one is too high, but this one is “just right” squealed goldilocks
I’m sure you remember the childhood story of Goldilocks and the three bears. Remember how Papa Bears bed was too hard, Mama Bears were too soft, and baby bear’s was “just right”, well, if GoldiLocks were reading this review, she would probably agree that the Independent Profit Center is “just right”.
Why?
Well, let’s consider a few things. I was under the mentorship of an mlm industry legend who once told me, that affordability is one of the keys to marketing success. A Product had to be so affordable (and full of value) that anyone could get in.
There are a group of marketers, or people I should say, who are considered to be the 27 percenters. Who fits the profile of a 27 percenter?
People who are not utterly “slick”. People who have a good work ethic and are willing to do what is necessary to succeed. People who are not gurus. They are basically “Salt of the earth” people. Who want to make a few extra thousand a month.
I believe that the Independent Profit Center offers a lucrative opportunity to make a real supplemental income to people who fall into that category.
See traditional MLM, which I also have in my marketing portfolio, is a smart idea because it provides a long term residual income, but can take a while to accumulate.
Higher ticket programs in the $1000+ price range are sometimes just too high for a newbie marketer to get into. A more seasoned marketer can do well with these higher ticket items, as I have personally done so with in the past myself.
The IPC (Independent Profit Center) however, like baby bear, is “just right” because it’s affordable to pretty much anyone who wants to either A. Take a shot at an online business without risking too much money, or B. for the seasoned internet marketer who wants a nice supplemental income.
Personally, I like the idea of the IPC program because the profits from the program allows me to continue advertising efforts in all my businesses, while I build my list (because the IPC program list is yours, which is crucial to have complete ownership in your marketing business.
This Direct Pay program (make a sale, and get paid directly into your account) is extremely attractive because one could easily, with the right marketng efforts, generate a minimum of $1000 per week.
Goldilocks would definitely join this program

No comments5 Sure Fire Ways to Market Your Online Business without Breaking the Bank!
Why oh why is it that nobody tells you when you join an online business opportunity, that you’ve got to know how to market. So many people are quickly disollusioned because they think that once they plunk their money down on a new online money making business opportunity, that they will just have to sit back and let the replicated website do the work.
Well I’m here to tell you the down and dirty truth about how it really works. And how do I know? Because when I first started my online home based business, I plunked down $2000 dollars and had no clue how to market.
Picture it this way.
Starting a new Business Online is exactly like opening a brick and mortar store. The only difference is that, there is much less overhead, but the basic premise is the same. You can have a cash register, a location, and a bunch of products, but with no customers, you’re out of business.
So here are 5 Sure Fire Ways to start marketing online to drive traffic to your New Business Opportunity Online
1. Article Marketing - Article Marketing just may be one of the most powerful forms of marketing I have implemented in my business online. It’s free, and if you do it right, it will generate a ton of traffic. You must keep targeted keywords in mind when writing your articles. So lets say, for example, you are writing a review on a particular business opportunity, make sure to use the business opportunity name in your keywords, in your title and in the body of the article to make sure that your article is relevent enough to appear in the search engine results when people are looking for reviews on that particular online business.
2. Press Releases: Much Like Article Marketing, Press releases are also a great way to get the word out about your business. Not only are the a great way to brand your busines, but it is the fastest, easiest way to brand yourself online. Just write a few Press Resleases about yourself, and start getting your name out there. People will want to know who they are dealing with, and they WILL google your name. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE! I have a counter that monitors my traffic, and my name is googled all the time, crazy I know!
There are several free press release sites out there that are completely free. At first I thought Press Releases were reserved for news media! But I quickly found out it’s a great way to market your business online as well. Why? Because content is King, and people are always searching for information online. This is why Article Marketing and Press Releases are so powerful. They are viral and they satisfy the hunger for people who are searching for information.
3. Pay-Per-Click. Done right, pay-per-click can be an extremely powerful method of advertising, in some cases, providing instant results. However, PPC must be done carefully and strategically, or else you can lose a lot of money fast. I know, because I lost $500 in less than two weeks in my first attempt at google adwords. You must make sure that you set your pay per click at a cost that will provide a good return on investment. Here’s an example, it wouldn’t make financial sense to bid a dollar per click on a product that you sell for $49.00 and only makes you 30 % Commission. You would have to have like 1 our of 20 people buy the product to justify the expense. Forget it. So if you have lets say, a ticket item of $200.00 you can easily bid $1.00 per click because it usually takes 100 clicks to get 2 people to buy the program. and at $200.00, you will still make $300 profit. Do the same thing with a $49.00 product for which you only earn $39 bucks, and…well….you do the math.
4. Video Marketing: This is how I made my “claim to fame”. I did video marketing and made thousands upon thousands of dollars doing it, but you gotta do it right. There are two kinds of videos I used to get traffic and to brand myself: Traffic Videos and Content Videos. Traffic Videos consisted of just 1 or 2 minute quick little videos with keywords and descriptions whose sole purpose was to drive traffic to my sites. A Content Video will run about 5 minutes or a little more, and they are usually used to teach someone a lesson, share valuable information, or do a screen capture tutorial of some sort. Video is super powerful, period.
5. Last but not least. there is Forum Marketing. This is also free, and is really a microcosm representation of what Networking is really about. It entails going to forums and joining in the conversation by way of adding valuable input to existing conversation threads. The cool thing about forum marketing is that you get to meet and network with new people, and you utilize the signature line to point to your primary opportunity. Now, you have been warned, don’t jump in just to blabber about your opportunity. Respond to a post with real substance. Or start a thread that adds value to the community, poses a question perhaps, or just comment about things that interest you that pertain to the genre of the forum.
There are a million ways to skin a cat (I know that’s gross..it’s just a saying!) but the truth of the matter is, is that at the end of the day, what matters is you want to get as many people to visit your website as possible and then it simply comes down to a numbers game. You can expect that out of ever 100 people that opt-in to your list, 3 will buy.

No commentsMaking Money in Network Marketing During a "Recession"
It’s all over the papers, the News and every other media outlet known to man. The BIG RECESSION. Houses are foreclosing, big financial institutions are collapsing and people are losing their Jobs.
Now I’m a firm believer of creating your own reality (perception is reality) and you can turn a blind eye and refuse to see what is looming before us, but the problem is that if the masses believe it, it becomes the predominant consciousness of the planet.
We make it even more real.
With that said, anyone who is determined and resourceful, will find a way to make money, even if they have lost their job. As a matter of fact, people who have lost their jobs can see this as a blessing in disguise.
I remember, back in the day, when I was 22 I was working for an SOB Boss at a Construction Firm. I was the front desk receptionist at the time. This man was the meanest, tightwad I’d ever met. So much so I suffered from stomach problems when I was working for him. Just the sight of him made me nervous sometimes because I didnt’ know if he was going to lash out or what! But I desperately needed the job, or so I thought.
During the time I was employed by him, I had purchased my first car all by myself. And 2 days later, I was called into his office and I was fired.
At first, I was freaked out. What was I going to do? I had just bought my car and I needed to pay my rent. Well long story short, I had 2 weeks off, which I used to hang out at the beach, and my next employer contacted me, letting me know he was hunting me down after he found out I was fired. I ended up accepting the position he offered, making more money, and had better hours. Oh yeah, and my stomach problems disappeared. It was a blessing in disguise.
So if you happen to be reading this right now, and have a job, or have lost your job, think to yourself, how can this situation be a blessing in disguise?
Network Marketing is The Blessing
Maybe back in the day of Amway and selling vacuum cleaners door to door, or going to Tupperware parties, wasn’t really the most practical thing to do. I know I hate selling, so parties and meetings are definitely not my thing. But with the advent of the Internet, all doors have opened and anything is possible, and people are flocking to the internet to find ways of making money.
People will have to push through their skepticisms, thinking that the internet is a SCAM. Which is one of the good lessons losing ones job will teach people. It will force them to think outside of the box, and entertain different ways of making money.
For a short period in my life, after I had my first son, I was a virtual telephone operator answering, and taking orders over the phone, for a large Telecommunication Corporation. When I first told my husband and brother that I was going to take classes to learn how to become a telephone operator from home, they both told me that it was a scam. And I completely ignored them and went on my way, and took my classes. NOTHING was going to keep me from staying home with my baby, and this seemed to be the answer to my prayers.
Well, after I started making an average of $950 a week, which back then was great money, and from home, nonetheless, they both had to eat their words.
There are so many benefits to starting an at home business, that to stay in a job where you can get fired is just as big as a risk as working from home.
As a matter of fact, I see it as a bigger risk because you just NEVER know when you will get fired. When you working for yourself, like with Network Marketing, for example, you will get paid on your efforts. So as long as you are taking constant action, and continue to learn and educate yourself, you will make money in Network Marketing during a recession, when everyone else is running around wondering what they are going to do.

No comments3 Crucial Network Marketing Tips: Can Marketing be 100% Automated?
You’re scouring the internet for a network marketing business opportunity. It’s like one big ball of confusion. I can compare trying to find the right network marketing business opportunity on the internet, much like a blurry dream, walking aimlessly down a long lonely road, with a bunch of flashy bill boards trying to get your attention.
“Join My Business, you’ll make a Gazillion dollars!” You scratch your head, and continue wandering. “Just Drive Traffic, and we’ll Close your sales for you!”, hmmm that sounds pretty tempting, but does it really work that way?
You continue to click, click, click yourself into oblivion and a sea of confusion. Which way do I go????
Hey, been there, done that. The question you should be asking yourself is, can marketing truly be 100% Automated? Is it truly something as simple as just sending traffic to my replicated site, and having my sales closed for me?
In relation to this, I must tell a quick little story. In my higher ticket, 2 tier affiliate bilingual program, there was a guy, who shall remain nameless. This guy bought into the opportunity because part of the claim was that all you had to do was drive traffic and the professional closers would close the sales for you. So Mr X went on to buy a bunch of “JUNK” traffic, from these traffic exchange places, and send random traffic to his replicated website.
Do I have to tell you how this went?
Needless to say, the guy was boiling mad and labeled the whole opportunity as a scam because he was naive enough to really think that the marketing process is fully automated. I was sitting at the sidelines watching him post disgruntled messages of hate and feelings of betrayal by the company because he couldn’t land a sale, sending blind traffic to a replicated website where the ticket item was over $1200.
What is the lesson to be learned from Mr. X?
Marketing Systems can be fully automated but Marketing itself can’t be.
Well, what’s the difference you ask?
Simply put, a marketing system is what funnels people through, and then you backend other products, services or your main opportunity to them. While they are “travelling” through the marketing funnel, you are establishing and building relationships while also generating front end income through the sale of solution based products. Generally speaking, they will be products that teach people how to market and how to drive traffic to their sites.
This system can be automated simply because you are not necessarily building a team with the people who go through this funnel. This systems purpose is to
A. Generate front end income for the purpose of being able to continue to advertise, and
B. To provide training materials to people within or outside of your primary business.
If the outcome is that they eventually join your business, that’s just icing on the cake!
When you are building a Team, you cannot expect to simply drive traffic to a website, have people closed, and never speak to them again. You must develop a relationship with them if you want to develop synergy within the team, and also inspire them to continue building the business. Many teams suffer from attrition, simply because there is no emotional connection in the team. If there is no emotional connection, people are more likely to quit.
So here are 3 Cruicial Network Marketing Tips: Things you should never automate in your business.
1. Lead Generation: You should be generating your own leads. Not doing this will multiply your workload. Buying leads is a shot in the dark. Make sure you have control of lead generation, period.
2. Prospecting: How you interact with your prospects will build the foundation of trust between you and your team. This is something you must nurture and grow yourself. Handing this off to someone else, could prove detrimental to the growth of your organization. (Trust me, I made this mistake once. You are essentially giving your power away to someone else, and then your team will either drop off, or roll up to them)
3. Your Marketing Training: As tempting as it is to outsource marketing training, make sure you do this yourself. You want to create that bond in your team, you want to be the expert, you want to be seen as the leader and you want to develop the tight knit relationships needed to hold your team together. Do NOT let anyone else do this. (Again, been there done that, my downline started to fall apart) TRAIN YOUR team yourself!!
Remember these things and don’t let anyone brainwash you into believing that they can give you a quick fix to growing your business. In the long run, it will backfire and you jeopardize the growth of your team.

2 commentsThe MLM Network Marketing Opportunity vs the J.O.B: Which is the Bigger Scam?
I’ll tell you, if you are on the outside looking in, there’s a good possibility that MLM and Network Marketing appear to be a SCAM. I can see how the average person can think that. Hmmmm, I can make upwards of $1,000 per day, I have people under me who pay me a part of their commission, I only have to put in about 20 hours a week of work, and I’d never have to work for someone else again.
Well, of course it’s the Shock of the year if you’ve been conditioned to work 9-5. make an average of $40 grand a year, and hopefully get some sort of social security when you retire at 65. Geez!!
Think about it, did anyone, or any teacher tell you about MLM or Network Marketing as kid in School? Chances are, the answer to that question is a resounding “NOPE”. Anything that is outside of what the “mainstream” does, is, unfortunately, disregarded and labeled as a Scam.
Are there MLM Network Marketing Scams out there? Absolutely, but just like anything else in life, it is ones responsibility to do their due diligence. I mean, think about it, how many times do people accept the “perfect “DREAM” Job, and it turns out not to be what they expected. You don’t hear people calling it a scam, they just go out and look for another Job.
And speaking of jobs, if you want to talk about Scams, how about working for someone else for the rest of your natural life, paying upwards of $50,000 for a college education, that will maybe land you a job that pays around $35,000 annually, and then promise you a nice retirement, to only get shafted of your pension by having it slashed by 25%. Now that, my friends, is a scam. I know because it happened to my Dad. He was a faithful employee for 25 years for a MEGA Corporation, and on the day he retired he got a handshake, a thank you, and a cut in his pension. Ahhhh, the good ‘ol american dream.
People must wake up to the reality. People need to start thinking for themselves and realize that just because we are told something, it doesn’t make it true. You have the ability to create your own reality. And believe me, if you don’t do it for yourself, someone else will do it for you.
MLM and Network Marketing is a wonderful industry. It’s one of the only industries that you can truly leverage the efforts of others yet still create an environment of team support and leadership while everyone strives for the ultimate goal of wealth and time freedom. A J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) does not allow for these benefits.
One of the biggest problems I see is that people are so wrapped up in the illusion of “Security”. They feel that only a paycheck is “secure”. Newsflash, have you ever heard of anyone who has worked faithfully for a company for 16 years, only to be fired with no notice, no severance, and no other real skills?
This is reality.
MLM Network Marketing allows you to have just about anything you want, as long as you are willing to take the chance. People literally can lift the ceiling on their incomes and make income on what they truly are worth, not just for the exchange in hours that they put in. If you are settling for a job, or have tried Network Marketing and haven’t given it your all, you are selling yourself short.
Now, here is why MLM Network Marketing is NOT a scam. Because if just one person tries it and succeeds, then it is proof positive that you can do it. It’s that simple.
So, by now you should be able to see why MLM and Network Marketing is a viable way to generate an incredible income, and why working for “the man” is the “REAL SCAM”.
MLM and Network Marketing is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to generate a real income, and I would go as far as to say, that in this day and age, it is a true blessing and if you are not doing it, then you will quickly get lost in the gap.
What is the Gap? Well if you haven’t noticed, the gap between the Poor Class and the High Class is quickly closing in, which means the Middle class will eventually cease to exist. Don’t believe me? Just look around you. Gas is getting higher, food is getting more expensive, if you are not looking for a way to generate more income, you will be extinct. Getting a second job – that just isn’t a life. In order to generate more income and enjoy time freedom, you must engage in generating income that goes above and beyond what you can physically do in an 8 hour period, that is where MLM and Network Marketing are a true blessing. Not to mention, it is an industry built on relationships. Ask anyone who has enjoyed true success, they will tell you that part of that success has been from developing long standing relationships with others.
Once you become more aware that opportunities usually pop up by way of other people, you’ll see why MLM & Network Marketing is a sure bet.
With the right positive mental attitude, a deep desire to succeed, and a mentor who will guide you through the process, MLM Network Marketing could change your life and realize those dreams you hoped a job could realize, but didn’t.
Think out of the Box. Try MLM Network Marketing, if you are reading this article, it just may be the answer to your prayers. Take it from a stay at home mom of 3. If I can do it, so can you!
To Your Success!!

1 commentHigh Converting – "Graphic Intense" Custom Lead Capture Pages
The old adage still stands true, IMAGE IS EVERYTHING. If your capture page looks cheesy, people will doubt your credibility. The hotter your Capture Page, the higher you can expect your conversion rate to be. As a Network Marketer, your Capture page is the “First Impression” your potential lead will have of you. It is CRITICAL to make it as appealing as possible. This is an area where some of those instant Leader Capture page Generators just fall short.
I always feel that if you want the job done right, get the professional to do it. It may cost a few more bucks, but in the end, it will help multiply your investment back into profits.
As Former “Web Designer” before I got into the Network Marketing Industry, I know how to create Pages that will brand the Network Marketer as a LEADER in the industry by hypnotizing your prospects with gorgeous vibrant images they just cannot resist. Although I have found success in Network Marketing, Designing is still one of my passions and I really love to do it, but there is no telling how long I will continue to produce these “works of art” so if you’re thinking about getting one done, you better act fast!
(Special Exclusive pricing is available to my Personal Team Mates and Business Partners)
Here is a sample of one of our Professionally designed custom Lead Capture Pages….
We have 4 PREMIUM Templates to Choose from, starting at a rate of $197.00 to Customize…
This Includes the following features:
-Adding your Video Link if you utilize our Custom Video/Optin
-Adding your Aweber or other Autoresponder Code in the Optin Form
-Embedding your Picture into the Artwork (Picture must be provided)
- 4 Different Color Schemes To Choose From
-Customizing the Text for your Headline
- Free Domain Registration and 1 Month of Free Hosting ($11.95/mo includes personalized email)
-Includes matching Custom Background
-Includes Matching Video/Optin Box Combo
Further Customization will require a quote. The $197 is for the Capture page Represented in the Above Picture. Here is your Chance to BRAND YOURSELF as a LEADER on the Internet.
Now Keep in Mind, the Capture Page Alone will not bring leads to your site. You are still responsible for driving traffic to your LCP. But once your prospects get there, that is your time to knock them off their feet with a hot, vibrant, gorgeous, rich in graphics, opt-in page.
We do NOT Guarantee that you will get more leads to your site. This is for the Design of the LCP only!
No commentsThe "Biggest" Mistake New Networkers Make
There is no denying it, if you’re in network marketing, or you are currently looking at it seriously as a way to generate more income, you’re probably entertaining the following thoughts:
1. How much Will I get paid?
2. When will I get paid?
3. How about if it doesn’t work?
Now of course, at first glance, these questions appear to be extremely logical and reasonable. But the “sponsoring” thoughts behind these questions is, is this going to be a “sure” or “secure thing”. That’s really what’s behinds peoples thoughts. So when they get into network marketing and things don’t start moving fast enough, (ie. I need my paycheck by Friday) they turn around and quit and start looking for another “Job”, or other network opportunity hoping things will be different and claiming that they were scammed.
Think about it. I remember when I was working construction back in the day, when I was 19. I hated my first job, more like my boss, with a passion. Mind you, I was working inside in an interior contractors office, and that man was so mean to the employees, he just made me want to quit. But I desperately needed the money because I was already living on my own at the time, and on South Beach, none the less, and I had just bought my first car on my own. So there were alot of things hanging by a thread for me.
Needless to say, I got my “walking” papers right after I had bought my car and I was worried about what I was going to do. But as my luck would have it, another opportunity arose, and another Contractor ended up looking for me, hiring me and I ended up making even more money.
The point here, however is, that I had no cushion in the background. I couldn’t fiddle around, I had to step it up and start networking so that I could get a job and get paid in time to make my next car payment and rent payment. Getting another Job, it was “secure”. I would have never dreamed of starting a business under those circumstances because I needed to get paid, yesterday! (and most people join opportunities with that exact mindset!)
And if you back it up for a second, losing my first job, I didn’t really see that coming. So it just goes to prove that “nothing” is secure, not even a job. Whether it’s a job or a network marketing opportunity, nothing in life is secure.
The only security there is, is in your Actions.
You can be certain that if you continue to take proactive actions towards your network marketing business, something is bound to flourish, the catch is, it won’t happen in your time, or by “friday”.
Too many people enter this industry with an “employee” mentality. And who can blame them. They are only looking for what they already know and feel comfortable with.
Think about it, haven’t you ever had a friend, who, no matter how many times he or she had a bad experience with a certain type of mate, they end up dating the same kind of person over and over again??
It’s because we are creatures of habit, and we are looking for predictability and security, it’s in our nature.
So if you are considering a network marketing opportunity, see it for what it is. It is an “opportunity” (a good position, chance, or prospect, as for advancement or success) Nothing in the definition of opportunity says, guaranteed.
It is completely up to you.
To better your odds, align yourself with the people who are already in the industry, building their businesses, and can help you shave off time to your learning curve. That way you will get to where you want to go much much faster.
And one more thing, the beauty of network marketing, is that, unlike a job, you will get paid exponentially for your efforts. Potentially there, is no ceiling on your income. This is one of the only industries where average people can replace their yearly incomes in only a months time. So don’t be afraid to get in the game, just change your perspective on it!

Two things New Network Marketers Need: Leads and Cashflow…See how I get both! >>> http://www.cashflowrecruitingsystem.com/
Generating Qualified Free Monavie Leads: Easier To do than you Think
My Monavie Friends, if you are still frustrated because you are still inside the “traditional” bubble of network marketing that tells you to make a list of family and friends to pitch your opportunity to, or have gone through yet another round of “Garbage” dead-end leads, this article contains information that will completely open a new door of opportunity for you, and change your perspective on marketing altogether. You will even begin to enjoy growing your business again. In the next few paragraphs you will have a paradigm shift in the way you market, and you’re going to ask yourself, “why didn’t I know about this before?”
You can easily generate FREE LEADS that are Interested in your products without you having to cold call, buy your way into the top levels of your organization, or harrass your friends and family.
There are FREE methods and paid methods, and if you use both at the same time, you will end up generating more leads than you know what to do with.
Here are 6 Different ways to start generating qualified recruiting leads for your Monavie business within the next 72 hours. So get ready and take notes.
1. Social Networking. There are several social networking sites like Myspace, Facebook and LinkedIn just to name a few. The purpose behind setting up a profile in a social network site is to network with people who may be interested in your business. A good place to start would be to search for friends who have common interests as you do. You can do this by conducting a search right on MySpace. You can enter words such as “Athletic” “Weight Loss” or target groups who may have a genuine interest in the products you have to offer, such as “stay at home moms” or “dieticians” for example.
The key is to find the people who are already buying the same or similar products that you are selling, and to place yourself right in front of them. But don’t go in there and start pitching your product because that is a big NO-NO in Social Networking. The idea is to network and start building relationships on these sites, and place your links strategically so that people passively click on your links to your site as they get to know you better. Also keep in mind, just because people don’t join your business, doesn’t mean they are not valuable. You just never know what those networking relationships can evolve into.
2. Article Marketing. Article Marketing is very powerful. Although it can be a time consuming task, once your content is out there. It becomes viral, and it will continue to work for you 24/7 365 days a week. Simply write articles that have to do with your products, and the benefits, or case studies or personal stories about what your products have done for you or other people. Make it “keyword” rich, and you are as good as gold.
3. Video Marketing: There is nothing more powerful than video marketing, in my personal opinion. But you must take a conservative approach to doing it. In other words, you can’t just go out there and start pitching people on video. You must offer VALUE by way of information or coaching and training, and then include links in the description of your videos for people to contact you.
4. Pay Per Click Advertising: Want instant Results? Pay Per click advertising is surely the way to go. But doing it the wrong way can be DISASTROUS. I personally lost $500 in less than two weeks when I first tried it. Thanks to educating myself and learning from some of the most influential marketers on the internet, pay per click is no longer an issue for me, as a matter of fact, it has been profitable. But you have to know what you’re doing. Do it right, and you can get instant results and red hot leads for your Monavie Business.
5. Forum Marketing – Forum Marketing is so laser targeted, that this is a bonafide way to generate free leads and traffic to your site. This is as simple as finding a forum that is geared towards your niche, which could be health or weight loss, for example, and start posting away. Get involved in the conversation. Add Valuable info to the forum. Don’t just chime in for the sake of getting notice. Really add value, and then you can post links to your website. People are nosey, and you can bet they will click on them.
6. Twitter: This one falls under Social Networking, but it is so incredibly powerful that I placed it in it’s own category. Twitter is what is called a “Micro-Blogging” site. It’s a Micro-Blog because you are only allowed to write up to 140 characters per post. So you have to make it short, to the point, and make sure it’s either valuable, or make it a little personal. Why? Because the internet’s very nature, breeds suspicion. People want to know they are doing business with a “real person” and not a scammer. So updating with some personal stuff gives your potential lead or others some insight into your life and who you are and inspires trust. This is super important. Make sure to add a personal photo of yourself and not your company logo. People want to do business with people not their company.
Keep this in mind, my Monavie friend, that when you purchase leads, they are more than likely “Generic Biz Op” Leads. They are not necessarily interested in any particular business and are more than likely just shopping around for information. Why spend $1-$5 or more on someone who may not even have any interest in the nutritional field whatsoever!
If you start to implement the strategies that I have laid out for you, you can attract laser targeted leads to your business and recruit the RIGHT people into your business!
If you need any help, or more information, feel free to contact me!

1 commentAdd Language Translation to Your Website – Tutorial
With a last name like “Figueroa” chances out you have already figured out that I am Bilingual. Yep, I’m Cuban American, born in Miami, USA. My parents are Cubans who immigrated to this country in 1963 and my husband came here as a little 8 year old boy from Cuba, in 1980. As Fate would have it, I am a Top Sponsor in a Bilingual Network Marketing Opportunity and I was creating a 10 page mini-site for myself and my team, to really put that extra “branding” touch to our Online Marketing Approach.
The problem was I didn’t want to have to re-design and translate the entire site into spanish, whew, that would take a lot of time and energy, so I did the next best thing. I placed a Translation script into my Website so that with one click of a button, a new window would open up and reveal the site completely translated into Spanish, or any of the other languages available for translation.
The only thing it will not translate are IMAGES. So if you have any text on your website or blog that are really images, of course, it will not translate. It will only translate actual writing so keep this in mind when you plug the script into your site.
I found a great tutorial on the internet that explains exactly how to place these scripts on your website so I’ve posted it for your review, Enjoy!

How to make foreign visitors love your website even if they don’t understand your language ? Add Language Translation to website and blogs – This is a simple Step by step guide to provide instant language translation in your website. Your site visitors can translate any webpage by clicking on the corresponding country flag and read your website in their native language.
Machine translation in blogs or websites is probably the easiest way of helping readers from different countries communicate. Even if a blogger writes in Spanish and a reader speaks English, or vice versa, both of them can still understand each other.
Today, people are blogging in multiple languages to create a conversation with readers outside the English Speaking blogosphere. Free language translation tools let bloggers post messages simultaneously in English, German, French, Spanish and other languages.
The most popular free Web-based language translation tools are offered by Google, AltaVista Babelfish and WorldLingo. Using these services, web audiences who speak English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, Korean or Russian will be able to translate websites into their native language.
With over 65% of web users speaking a language other than English, providing the means of translating websites with English content to another language is very essential. Your multilingual website becomes more accessible and popular if users can translate your website content into their native language.
There are two methods to let your visitors easily translate your website:
Method ONE: All these services provide a translation box. To translate a webpage, you simply type in the URL of the website, choose the source and target language, and click the Translate button. [World Lingo, Google Translate, BabelFish Translate]
Method TWO: Here we will integrate the translation form in the website itself without requiring the user to visit any external page for translation. Your web visitors will be able to translate foreign language content into their native language by simply clicking the country flag icon. (Notice the top right corner of this page to see the various country flag icons). Simply cut and paste the code into your pages.
1. Alta Vista Babel Fish:
Babel Fish Translate is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. Just add the following single line of JavaScript code to your website.
2. Google Translate: Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified). Remember to replace the value of variable “u” with the URL of your website. The translated pages can even be bookmarked.
3. WorldLingo URL Translator: World Lingo is my favorite service since Google indexes the static URLs translated by World Lingo. Thus, my website can be found on Google even while searching for non-english terms. World Lingo supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, Korean and Russian. The translated pages can even be bookmarked.
The above World Lingo Translation Code is customized for the Blogger Template. Since I have added translation to every page on my weblog, I have used wl_url=<$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$> in the URL. You will need to change this if your blog is hosted on another service like Typepad or Wordpress.
The <$BlogItemPermalinkUrl$> tag should be wrapped inside the <Blogger> tags.
These techniques can be applied for translating websites to English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Translation Support for Middle Eastern languages like Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Persian, scripts like Hindi, Sanskrit, Telugu, Punjabi, Marathi, Konkani scripts are provided by professional translating services only.
Update: Since WorldLingo is no longer free, you can use this new hack to add Google Flags to your website.
