Lodi Networking

Networking is getting tougher. Networks must deliver a growing
range of services, from ERP, CRM and email to VoIP and web
services applications, each of which has its own idiosyncrasies
and requirements. Each new service introduced onto the network
contends for available resources with every other service,
impacting the network’s ability to support the business.

Meanwhile, the network itself is constantly changing. New
locations are added – some of which may be in another country or
on another continent. Equipment is upgraded and/or
re-configured. New management and/or security tools may
themselves impact service performance. Decisions about data
center consolidation and business re-organization also affect
the network in different ways. All of this makes the network a
highly dynamic environment where even subtle changes can have a
major, unforeseen impact on application performance and
availability.

Yet business users expect this complex environment to be as
reliable as electricity – despite the fact that networking
budgets are not being increased in proportion to these growing
challenges. So network managers can’t simply over-provision
network infrastructure to make sure every service has all the
bandwidth it needs. Moreover, over provisioning may not even
solve the problem and/or ensure the required level of
performance.

That’s why network managers are facing many challenges,
including:

1) Pinpointing potential network
performance issues early in the development lifecycle
Ideally, the impact of the network on a new application or
service should be dealt with from the very beginning of the
development process – when potential problems are much easier
and less expensive to fix. Unfortunately, this is rarely the
case. Problems with an application’s “networkability” are
typically discovered only after its roll-out into the production
environment is initiated. At that point, it’s usually too late
to make any significant changes in the application’s design. So
the problem gets pushed onto the shoulders of the networking
team. That’s why, in ’05, smart network managers will focus on
nipping these problems in the bud.

2) Validating new or modified applications and infrastructure
before they are deployed in production As the network becomes
more complex and more critical to the day-to-day-operation of
the business, network
performance related risks associated with application and
infrastructure change are continuing to rise. In fact, some of
the worst business interruptions that companies have
historically experienced have not been the result of unexpected
equipment failure. They’ve been the unexpected consequence of a
planned modification. Networking teams must therefore implement
change management best practices in ’05 that prevent them from
having to put out fires that they accidentally started
themselves.

3) Improved troubleshooting of intermittent/transient network
problems One of the most frustrating things for a network
manager is dealing with a problem that keeps disappearing before
it can be adequately understood and remedied. However, as the
business’s tolerance for network interruptions continues to
drop, these intermittent problems will become a bigger
management issue. So this year, network management teams need to
develop more effective methods for capturing transient network
conditions and discovering the root causes of these problems.

4) Accelerated time-to-benefit for new and/or upgraded
applications When C-level executives decide to make investments
in new applications and services, they want to see those
investments pay off quickly. That’s why the slow, staged
production roll-outs of the past won’t cut it anymore. Instead,
networking teams need to be able to quickly deploy new
applications across the enterprise. This can only happen if
caution and uncertainty about the actual behavior of these
applications in the production environment is replaced by
confidence and certainty in ’05.

5) More intelligent planning for and support of business growth
Network managers constantly have to cope with change. They have
to determine how increases in network utilization will affect
application performance. They have to decide how to best
engineer the network to support business expansion,
re-organization or mergers and acquisitions. However, they can
only do so if they have an effective means of performing
capacity planning tasks and assessing a full range of “what-if”
scenarios. Such scenarios are also critical for formulating
realistic contingency plans that can ensure business continuity
under a variety of possible conditions.

Looking at these challenges, it quickly becomes evident that
conventional production network management tools alone are no
longer sufficient for today’s networking teams. These tools are
great for monitoring the production network and discovering
certain types of problems – but they don’t enable network
managers to validate new technologies and applications before
they’re deployed on the production network. They also force
network managers to solve problems that should have been
addressed in application design.

Conventional tools aren’t very helpful for troubleshooting
intermittent and/or transient network problems either, since
they don’t provide a means of reconstructing and analyzing such
intermittent conditions. Nor do they help accelerate production
roll-outs, facilitate experimentation with “what-if” scenarios,
or support formulation of network contingency plans.

So what’s an overworked, under-resourced network manager to do?
The answer is to look at network modeling technologies. These
technologies provide an environment in which new applications,
technologies and problem-solving strategies can be safely and
thoroughly evaluated. Because they allow an application’s
network behavior to be fully validated before it’s deployed in
the production environment, these technologies also empower
network managers to perform more rapid, glitch-free roll-outs.
Plus, modeling technologies are uniquely able to provide insight
into any number of “what-if” scenarios – so network managers can
make plans for growth, corporate re-structuring and/or disaster
recovery.

“Empirical” modeling solutions offer today’s network management
teams particularly excellent business value, because of their
accuracy and relative ease of implementation. This accuracy and
ease is achieved by running the actual applications against a
model that uses captured conditions from the production
environment. The result is a clear understanding of the user
experience well ahead of deployment.

For many people the word “networking” has a negative connotation. This is in part due to the fact that many salesmen abuse networking to push their products or services. So let’s take a deeper look into the difference between (hard) selling and networking to solve some of the misunderstandings about networking.

The main difference between selling and networking is that in a sales process the goal of the interaction between two people is the sale of a product or service. When networking, this sale could be the consequence of a contact that is built with respect and care. So it is clear that the sale is not the goal of networking, but a nice and in many cases a logical consequence.

The comparison below goes into the details of the difference between selling and networking. The table shows several elements of “negative networking” by hard sellers on the one hand and “real networking” on the other hand. Hard sellers who network are focused on the short term while real networkers focus on the long term.

Hard sellers who network are focused on the short term while real networkers focus on the long term.
Hard sellers who network try to detect a need that can be satisfied by their product or service. Real networkers share any information that can be interesting for the other party.
Hard sellers only give when they have an immediate profit. Real networkers give without expecting something back (and in the long run this usually pays off better too).
Hard sellers who network listen in order to get the deal. Real networkers listen to help.
Hard sellers ask questions in order to be able to position their product or service better. Real networkers ask questions to be able to be of better assistance.
Hard sellers find people interesting only if they are a potential customer. Real networkers find everybody interesting as a contact. You never know what or who they know.
Hard sellers who network want to collect and distribute as many business cards as possible. Real networkers ask and give business cards to people with whom they really established contact.
Hard sellers talk often only about their product or service without listening to others. Real networkers See to it that others always talk more than they do, listen carefully to them and encourage them to tell more.
Hard sellers who network try to bring the attention to their own product or service. Real networkers recommend products or services of people in their network (and only if they are relevant for the people they talk to).
For hard sellers who network the goal is the sale. People are a means, a resource (sometimes even a necessary evil) to reach that goal. For real networkers the goal is to establish and maintain contacts and build relationships. One of the possible consequences is a sale.

To make it even more clear, I have a small example for you.

Situation: a salesman of fire extinguishers meets the manager of a local affiliate of a bank at a reception of the Chamber of Commerce.

Hard Selling

The salesman does his sales magic to convince the manager to buy fire extinguishers for his office. He is a good salesman and he manages to sell 5 fire extinguishers.

The evening of the salesman is a success.

Networking

The salesman is interested in the manager as a person. Amongst other things he learns that the manager is a passionate sailor and that he is looking for a new boat. The salesman remembers that a friend of his has a boat for sale. He not only passes this on to the manager, but also provides them with each other’s contact details the following day. A week later the boat has a new owner.

Four months later the salesman receives a phone call from the manager. The manager asks him to deliver new fire extinguishers for the office and for the facilities of the sailing club where the manager recently became chairman. Moreover the manager proposes to write a letter to all the members of the sailing club with a recommendation for the fire extinguishers of the salesman.

The year of the salesman is a success.

What about you? Are you more of a hard seller than a networker? You don’t have to be a salesperson to be a seller. Everybody has to sell continuously. You have to “sell” the next project to your management team, you have to “sell” to your partner to go to the movies instead of spending an evening at home, you have to “sell” to your children that they keep their room clean, … Everybody is a seller in one way or the other.

Let me repeat my question. What about you? Are you more a hard seller or more a networker?

Online Network Marketing is inevitable for all networkers. Old model offline techniques are ‘dead. ‘ The internet evolution and revolution in marketing capability cannot be ignored!

Going Online: The Network Marketing Shift

The beginning of ‘the shift’ to online network marketing was when internet marketers started to be profitable online. That was from 1996, but in 2000 online advertising got a big boost by the introduction of Google Adwords. Internet marketers started to be more effective and some astute people took to ‘list building’ for offline network marketing.

Really. . . the online network marketing revolution got its biggest boost by the revelations of ‘The Renegade Network Marketer. ‘ Mike Dillard had put a different, but effective spin on it through Magnetic Sponsoring. However Ann Sieg came out and said what many experienced networkers were thinking. She made it absolutely clear that offline network marketing was a ‘failure. ‘ The 95% failure rate that has plaqued the industry for decades is not a figure that networkers can be proud of!

Going Online: Creating Your Own Website Business

 After realizing many people were lost in ‘an online wilderness’. . . Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler combined in 2009 to show people exactly ‘how to’ do online network marketing. Marketing a business on the internet involves having your own website. Taking that step away from a company ‘replicated website’. . . to having your own website has ‘baulked’ many networkers. When you understand that replicated websites are ‘value-less’ on the internet. . . because the search engines ignore them. . . you start to appreciate the idea of having your own marketing website.

Creating your own website is not difficult. For your main website you want to create a content information site. Internet searchers want information. . . if your content is good quality searchers will bookmark your site and return. Most quality site-builders can be used by anyone. . . that is you don’t need html knowledge. Also apart from. . . and to complement your content information website. . . you can create squidoo pages as well as a blog or two!

Although just having a website does not ‘cut it!’ You need to have a money-making website business. This involves ‘marketing’. . . to bring site-visitors to your website in considerable numbers. How you market your website has changed since Ann Sieg brought out her first ebook. Today we have more social networking activity, mini-blogs, and mini-video sites that are growing at a fast rate. Online network marketing can use all these interactive tools in association with content information marketing methods. Natural search traffic is every marketer’s ‘most wanted response!’ Good content and good online interaction are the ingredients for achieving excellent natural search traffic.

 Going Online: Choosing Your Income Streams

More traffic to your website means more sales of whatever you have to recommend. Also it means more subscribers to your newsletter. More subscribers means more people who’ll join your online network marketing business!

The income sources you choose to have on your website business can be affiliate products that are both digital and/or hard goods. You join the affiliate company for ‘free’ and every sale that comes via your website can generate commission payment up to 75% of the item sale price. Affiliate ebook marketing is popular and it’s not hard to find ebooks related to your website theme. Referral marketing is another worthwhile income source. Basically, it involves promoting products at another person’s website.

All your income sources should have value for your site-visitors. If your visitors are not interested in your website theme or any of your affiliate products. . . they may be prepared to click a few Google Ads on your website. Selling Ad space is very popular as an online income source. Other marketing groups have similar schemes as Google. You get paid on the number of ‘clicks’ to these Ads by your site-visitors. Your income fom this source is relative to the number of site visitors coming to your website. High traffic websites make substantial income from this source.

The most important marketing tool on your online network marketing website is to have a subscriber list. People only subscribe to your newsletter if they appreciate your website information. Therefore you endeavour to continue to supply quality information in your regular newsletter. Having a regular newsletter allows you ‘time’ to build trust. People don’t join network marketing businesses without a level of trust! However through your newsletter you can market/recommend ebooks and other products to your subscribers. Keep your subscribers informed about new products and this income source will serve you well.

Going Online: Effective Content & Interactive Methods To Use

Properly balanced online network marketing strategies must incorporate ‘content marketing’ and ‘interactive marketing’ methods. Your main content method is to have a content information website. All your other marketing methods should lead to your information website. Other content methods to use are: 1. Article-Writing 2. Video-Streaming 3. Press-Releases 4. Whitepapers.

Article writing is second to content websites as far as gaining natural search traffic goes! Your articles can be topical and you can point several articles to the same webpage. Once written and submitted. . . articles keep working for you. . . year after year! Videos can be used in your web-pages, articles, squidoo lenses, and emails. Although videos are a content marketing method. . . they get a lot use in blogs as well. In fact blogs are both content and interactive. Anyway videos deliver your message with enormous impact!

The best interactive marketing methods are blogs, social networking sites, bookmarking sites, and niche-forums. As opposed to content marketing, all these interactive methods, are more time-consuming. However. . . that said. . . they are all very powerful in delivering site-visitors to your website. Your time-management is generally served best by not trying to ‘work’ too many of these methods.

Whereas your primary business is your online network marketing. . . you need to remember that only a small percentage of your site-visitors will be interested in that business. Therefore having other monetization sources available with your content information will boost your website business.

Going Online: Conclusions

The internet has altered the way a lot of things are done today. Online network marketing is developing away from its ‘offline’ roots. This is both essential and sensible. Natural progress will eventually take all networkers to online network marketing. The industry ‘failure rate’ gives them no reason to hesitate!

Practicing network marketing on the internet is only effective as part of a website business. You are in business to ‘make money,’ so having multi-streams of income is essential. Just creating your own website to promote your network marketing business is ‘internet death. ‘ You miss out on income and more importantly for a internet business. . . site popularity. Providing a quality information experience for your site-visitors is paramount to online business success.

Using all content marketing and interactive methods in promoting your website and business will bring you site-visitors in high numbers. How to actually use those marketing methods is now available and covered very nicely in click-by-click training on ‘how to’ do online network marketing to boost your income!

Network management may mean different things to different people. To some network management may be a solitary network consultant monitoring network activity with an outdated protocol analyzer, to others network management may be about distributed database, high-end workstations generating and traffic. Speaking generally, network management is a service, which uses a wide range of devices, tools, and applications, to enable the network managers to monitor and maintain networks successfully & efficiently.

Network management deals with the top-level administration and maintenance of widespread and large networks, commonly seen in the field of computers or telecommunications, which may be necessarily, include user terminal equipment.

Network management executes functions such as security, control, allocation, monitoring, coordination, deployment and planning to name a few. It is also worth noting that network management is governed by a several protocols which are basically present there for its support, including SNMP, Common Information Model, CMIP, WBEM, Transaction Language 1, Java Management Extensions, and Netconf.

Routing is also an important area of network management. Routing refers to the process of selecting the paths in a computer network on which to send data. In this arena of network management, logically addressed packets get transported from their source to their destination with the help of nodes. These nodes are called routers, in a process termed as forwarding.

Successful network management also uses accounting management. This controls and reports on the financial status of the network. This area of network management involves bank account maintenance, financial statement development, and analysis of cash flow and financial health.

Coming to Network Monitoring, it is about policing network traffic. In other words, network monitoring is spying for the benefit of smooth working of network management. Network monitoring is part of network management. Ideally network monitoring is a function that one of your systems must perform on an ongoing basis. While the other systems are performing the functions assigned to them, one should set aside at least one computer to monitor network activity. This is network monitoring in a nutshell.

The computer performing network monitoring must be kept always on. Which means that network monitoring system should have exclusive power lines or, backup generator facility. Everyone should understand that network-monitoring system is the most critical part of any network, because it is with the help of network monitoring that that the alarm will be sent if something is wrong.

Network monitoring will identify the slow or failing systems and notify the network administrator of such lapses. Issues like overloaded systems, crashing of servers, network connections being lost, virus infections, and power outages will be dealt without losing time if network monitoring is in place.

Network Marketing Online has nothing to do with using the ‘old model’ company methods! The ‘shift’ to the internet is seriously being accepted by thousands of network marketers!

Change: To A Total Online Business

Changing to network marketing online involves having your own website, which you develop into a website business. Your website should be information intense. A place where you pre-sell your site-visitors on your website theme. That theme should be related to your network marketing product. The website must be your own. . . not company controlled. By that I mean. . . you don’t mention your network marketing company’s registered name or the tradename of any of their products. You keep your main website ‘generic. ‘

From your website you simply link-off to your company’s website via incontext text links or you create a blog or squidoo lense as a ‘bridge page’ between your website and the company site. By using a bridge-page. . . that allows you to talk specifically about the product and network marketing business. A place to talk straight to your site-visitor before you send them to the company site.

By keeping your main website ‘generic’. . . you are truly operating your network marketing online. . . in an independent fashion! If you were to quit one company. . . you simply join another. Also I contend that you should be able to operate more than one non-competing network marketing business. Your in business to make money! Falling in love with one company or product is no help in making money in network marketing online!

Change: To A Multi Income Business

The main benefit of having your own website business. . . is being able to choose multi-streams of income. Changing to network marketing online enables you to select theme-related affiliate programs, ebooks, and hard goods products to market on your website. You can also market your own products. . . a hobby, book or invention. However the products you choose should be related to your website theme.

The idea is not to detract from your primary product. . . which is your network marketing business, but to provide your site-visitors with useful products that will help them. This also gives you cash flow and the funds to continue your network marketing online marketing. The internet allows for an automated mode of operation. Using available internet technologies you can create your own list of subscribers from your interested site-visitors!

Change: From Being The Hunter–To Being The Hunted!

The most important marketing method to use from your website is to provide a regular newsletter. You do this by having a subscriber-box on every web-page. You use an autoresponder to automate the confirmation of subscribers and the regular sending of the newsletters. Quality information for your newsletter is available from article directories. Your regular newsletter does two main things:

1. Provides your interested subscribers with fresh information on your website theme and marketing tools they can use in network marketing online.

2. Provides you with the opportunity to market (recommend) various helpful products, ebooks etc to your subscribers.

Building that subscriber-list is essential for financial success and therefore directing visitor traffic to your website is vital!

Apart from your website. . . you can also have several blogs, squidoo lenses, hubpages, YouTube pages, social sites, articles and press-releases. . . all directing traffic to your website. With your blogs you can also have a subscriber-box in place. All the above activity boosts your visitor numbers and the beautiful part is you don’t have to pay. . . to be ‘hunted!’

A percentage of your site-visitors will take one or more of the following actions:

1. Subscribe to your newsletter

2. Purchase an affiliate product

3. Click a few Google Ads

4. Request further information on your network marketing business

5. Join your business and want you to show them how to do what you’re doing in network marketing online!

Change: To A better Way!

Old model offline network marketing encourages members to ‘make-a-list’ of prospects and go out and harass them about your product and business. Also to buy ‘leads’ from lead companies and phone hundreds of leads each week. As well as attend opportunity and training meetings etc. This is ‘old model’ network marketing. . . a truly worn-out and superceded system. . . that started in the 1930′s.

New model network marketing online involves having your own content-based website where you provide your site-visitors with generous information on a specific website theme. You then link your website with several blogs, squidoo lenses, hubpages, YouTube pages, articles, press-releases and social networking sites. You edit a regular newsletter to provide your subscribers with fresh theme information.

Network marketing online does require a bit of time to set-up your sites and links, but once done. . . then they only require maintenance. You do need to visit and post to your social sites. You’re on partial auto-pilot! You’re not on the phone talking to uninterested ‘leads’ all day. You actually have more time for yourself and your family. You do talk to your interested prospects via email and/or voip phones. Talking to serious business builders is vastly different to spending your valuable time with ‘tire-kickers. ‘ Although you may have the wonderful problem of having more interested prospects than you can handle!

The internet has provided a better way to do business. Have you noticed we are using computers. . . and typewriters are near extinct! Progress and technology advances. . . dictate we use the best available methods. Network marketing online is the best method for this industry today!

Change: Conclusions

For what reason would you continue to practice ‘old model’ network marketing? Being ‘loyal’ to your company. . . doesn’t cut it! They are in it to make money. . . not to make you happy.

The existing NWM membership model will change. It has too. . . to cater for method change because of network marketing online techniques. As more and more networkers take the sensible approach and change to an online operation where they are in-charge of their own website business. . . NWM companies will, by necessity. . . evolve a more flexible system! That new system will need to incorporate a built-in tolerance for members multi-income sources. The NWM system that has evolved. . . has been great for companies and manufacturers, but an absolute failure for the majority of networkers. An industry failure rate of 95%. . . is appalling!

Now the internet has shown network marketers. . . a better way! The marketing methods that internet marketers have evolved since the early 1990′s. . . are available for network marketing online! A combination of content and interactive marketing is the most effective system. You need to take the time to learn how to use these methods to carry out your network marketing online. The latest ebook on what to do online is available. . . as is the most unique click-by-click video training.

What is Network Marketing?

Do you know how network marketing works? I have been network marketing for almost 5 years. I have been told by my upline that network marketing is all about recruiting downlines into my business. I spent thousands of dollars and stock up a lot of products as I want to be promoted to the position of supervisor. I always thought that by doing this, it would be a fast track to success. What is network marketing?

Are you familiar with these real life stories? Or are you one of the victims that are bought into the ideas? I have tasted countless of rejections every single day and have done countless of cold calls and surveys and everyone seems to avoid me. So what is network marketing all about?

In every network marketing company, there are 2 fundamental elements that every company must have. They are products and a marketing system. Have you ever heard of people telling you that to succeed in network marketing, you need to find a company with outstanding products or with the best compensation plan? Let me briefly explain to you what is network marketing.

Network marketing is a business unit that comprises of a team of motivated individuals that have a common goal in their mind. What is it? It is about helping other people to get what they want.

Network Marketing Today on the Internet

What is network marketing? Network marketing today is different from what it was 5 years ago. It has transformed into an internet business opportunity. It is no longer a struggle for network marketers to recruit people into their business. On the internet, we can make money online even if prospects do not want to join our network marketing business. Do you get the idea?

This business revolution is a whole new opportunity for people who want to work in a home based business by making a living online earning monthly residual income. They can make extra income by monetizing their list selling other digital products or network marketing plr (private label rights) products that help in their prospects network marketing business.

What is Network Marketing?- Is it a Scam?

Network marketing is definitely not a scam. A scam is a business opportunity that has no products to sell and there is only monetary investment involved in the transaction. It gives false promises to prospects about the ROI, return of investment that they will be getting in 6 months or 1 year. Recently, there is news all over about this scams that cheated people money and gave them false promises that don’t even exist at all.

Trust me. There is no such thing as a “get rich quick scheme”. There is no secret to succeed in network marketing on the internet. I am going share with you how are you going to go about doing it even if you are a newbie. What is network marketing and the internet going to help you on your network marketing business?

Making full use of Network Marketing PLR products

First, before you even want to sell something or selling your business opportunity on the internet, you need to brand yourself as an expert. Branding takes time and massive advertising is what it takes to get you notice on the internet. How are you going to go about doing it? Building a list of prospects is your first step.

You can create your squeeze page, lead capture page or outsource to professionals to do it for you if you have the advertising budget. Next is to find a free report to give away. There are network marketing plr products on Google that you can purchase at a low price. Purchasing a plr e-book to brand it as your own is a good idea to give away as a free report to entice prospects to give away their name and email address.

Your goal is to collect a list of prospects, build a huge list, follow up with them, build relationships and market to them your products and your business opportunity. Instead of writing your own e-book, you can quickly brand yourself as an expert by purchasing network marketing plr products at an affordable price to brand it as your own.

Driving Traffic using Network Marketing PLR products

Next, you need to have traffic.   What I mean is that, you need to drive traffic, visitors to your lead capture page, squeeze page that you have created. No traffic means no prospects. Literally your internet network marketing business will die off and passed away. How can you drive traffic to your squeeze page? Again, you can use network marketing plr products like private label rights articles, rewrite it and send to article directories. Or you can purchase network marketing plr videos to rebrand it using AVI source files and submit to video sharing sites.

I simply love network marketing plr products as it saves me a lot of time and effort instead of me doing it all by myself. The beauty of network marketing plr products is you can change the contents and rebrand it as your own which makes you an expert in network marketing immediately.

Network engineers are specialists in constructing and maintaining local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs). All of the elements within an organization’s IT system, including individual desktop PCs, file servers, mail servers, backup servers, application servers, custom-designed workstations, and more, come within the purview of the network engineer’s job.

Engineering Crossing

Network Marketing Opportunities will thrive on the internet and all networkers need to stop using ‘old hit and miss’ methods of chasing prospects. Networkers have struggled with operating their businesses offline for generations. The internet has brought about new opportunities for all business function and network marketing is not excluded!

Online Network Marketing Versus Old Style Offline

NWM companies still encourage the old and ineffective product promotion methods that they have used for so long. All networkers are aware and although some still embrace it, the reality is they can’t afford to leave it for fear of diminishing their income. The system has got hold of them. . . even though they know there has to be a better way.

These networkers are still promoting the ‘make-a-list’ and worn-out ‘lead buying’ methods. List-making of family, friends, storekeepers, school-teachers, and basically everyone. . . is the most objectionable network marketing method ever. Even though it did work in the past. . . so did concrete mixing with a shovel! The new and more advanced methods of every age have always superceded the old and tired methods.

Lead companies have done well selling poor quality leads for far too long! The person calling a ‘lead’ could be the 3rd or 4th person to call that ‘lead. ‘ So the lead companies have really been over-using their products. I have found this to be true when I have rung ‘leads’ with network marketing opportunities in the past. Lead companies have dressed-up leads and claimed they have been phone checked etc. . . but really a ‘lead’ is a person who filled in an online form in exchange for a free download. Having done that their details become saleable by the lead company. Would you consider a person who swaps their details for a freebie. . . a good ‘lead?’

All this has. . . one way or another been responsible for the Network marketing opportunities 95% failure rate. Because of the advent of the internet and the ability to look at and operate NWM opportunities online has brought new possibilities to networkers. . . and in fact made those old methods redundant! This new approach is successful and will reverse the industry failure rate. Networkers will take awhile to come-over. . . particularily those who have been ‘burnt’ by the old and tired model!

There’s a reason that online networking is so successful and that reason is. . . you are able to ‘fund’ your marketing and advertising by marketing a variety of income sources. No one would argue with that I’m sure! This same point is covered by Ann Seig in her new free ebook. Ann Seig details how to make money in online network marketing. Click the link at the end of his article to download this generous information ebook.

Your Multi-Income Streams

You want to make money in your website business from many sources of income. Online you don’t lock-in to one product. Your primary network marketing opportunities business remains just that, but using incontext text links in your website content. . . you direct your site-visitors to affiliate marketing programs, referrals or ebooks. The text you use has to fit the website theme, and that’s how you weave in your income and information web-links. The use of limited banners is OK, but a ‘banner farm’ is ‘old hat’ and no longer popular with internet users.

An example of your website theme would be where you have a nutrition product, say one that helps with arthritis. . . so you then have a website theme about arthritis and all that having and living with arthritis encompasses.

Non competing helpful programs can be digital programs from the likes of Clickbank and Commission Junction. Top name brand hard goods products are available to use in your website monetization as well. Affiliate Referrals are an excellent income source. Where your website has high natural search traffic an excellent consideration is to take on some affiliate referrals. This is basically having a link on your site to someone else’s website. The referral link will be imbedded with your ID code to make sure the commission comes back to you if a purchase happens.

Selling Ad space is an important income source. Google and other search marketing groups pay you when site-visitors ‘click’ the Ads placed on your website. The more webpages you have and the more site-visitors your site gets will govern the amount of income. You do have some control over what Ads appear on your site. Having other network marketing opportunities competing with yours. . . on your website should be avoided.

Finding ebooks that are related to your network marketing opportunities website theme would not be a problem and are something that can be very helpful for your site-visitors.

As well as incorporating your income streams you also have to continue to provide website theme information to your website-visitors. . .

How To Connect With Site-Visitors

Having a subscriber box to encourage interested site-visitors to subscribe to your regular newsletter. . . so they get further information on your network marketing opportunities is essential to build your website business. Your subscribers are interested and they want more of the same information.

  Autoresponders are used to reduce the workload in newsletter editing. They can be programed to send confirmation emails as well as in preparing the newsletter. Usually once a month is good for newsletters, but you can send one at any other time as well. The regular sending of your prepared newsletter can be programed for while you’re away on holidays.

Providing good quality theme information to retain your subscribers as long as you can. . . is worthwhile. The purpose is to build a level of ‘trust’ with your subscribers while delivering further quality information for your subscribers. Trust has to exist before anyone will join your network marketing opportunities. Buying some of your ebooks, affiliate programs and products will happen if they see value in them, but going into business with you. . . which is what happens in network marketing. . . is something else! Establish yourself as an expert in your website theme and ensure your information is quality!

Article Directories are the top source of relevant information. Articles are available on every possible topic and free at most directories. The article must carry the author’s details and web-links. If you subscribe to several free Article Directories. . . they’ll advise you about availability of new theme articles.

Onlne Marketing Methods

Marketing methods that apply to other forms of internet marketing also apply to network marketing opportunities. Of the 100 million websites on the world wide web. . . only a small number are actually marketed correctly. Because you have a website means nothing if it is not ‘marketed’ so that it can receive site-visitors from natural search. If your site is marketed correctly and has natural search traffic happening. . . then you have a website business. The popularity of your website business depends on its content, ideally you want to be in the top 3% of websites to be successful.

The right type of website will advance your chances of doing that. You live in the ‘Information Age’. . . so the right type of website is clear. . . your website must be a ‘content information website!’ At content website you provide your site-visitors with quality information. Site-visitors bookmark your site and come back often.

Article-writing is the next best content marketing method. It is simply writing a 400 word plus article on your webpage theme. Within your content website you’ll have several webpages and each page will be keyword-focussed. . . as well as theme based. So you’ll have at least one of your articles based on each of your webpages. You may have several articles based on one web-page theme. Articles, like press-releases,white-papers and video streaming will work for years and years. Progressively, you should work towards using all these low-cost content marketing methods in your network marketing opportunities.

Interactive marketing methods are becoming very popular. How much benefit they’ll be to online network marketing and in fact all internet marketing will take more time to access. But you would have to say blogs, social networking and niche-forums are outstanding in connecting with people. Network marketing opportunities are a people business. Often called a ‘relationships’ business. My contention is that these interactive forms of reaching and connecting with huge numbers of people have much to offer any website business.

One stand out of all these is the new mini-blog site. . . Twitter. com There are ‘marketing’ restrictions in niche-forums and social sites, however not at blogs. So the format as used by Twitter is great for message delivery. The authors links below will lead you to a Twitter Video Training series. These are easy videos to follow. . . given by a very considerate instructor.

Building your website business is about using most if not all of these content and interactive marketing methods. They. . . along with natural search traffic can bring big numbers of site-visitors to your network marketing opportunities website business. The numbers of site-visitors would be relative to the amount of time you spend ‘working’ these methods!

Conclusion

The speed of the internet truly makes the world a smaller place. . . its ability to reach people in nano-seconds and thereby totally ‘alter’ the way we use our time in doing business. . . is the most significant advance in our time. How you use that tool to advance your network marketing opportunities is up to you! But consider this. . . you can reach more people in one nano-second on the internet than you can ‘talk the talk’ to. . . in a lifetime of network marketing offline.

The two content marketing methods of using a content website and article-writing will on there own. . . carry your website business a long way. So this is where you start your online network marketing business. The supreme method to get website-visitors. . . is via natural search traffic. All your marketing must assist in building website ranking popularity with the search engines. Really though. . . if you satisfy your site-visitors. . . they’ll let the search know how good your site is my returning or subscribing to your newsletters.

You do need to watch your time-management with regard to the interactive marketing methods. Don’t try to be involved in every social site. . . do one or two of them real well and take it from their! Same with niche-forums and blogging. One valuable aspect of Twitter. com is that you can have it linked to EzineArticles. com So when you submit an article to EzineArticles. . . that article is sent to Twitter for all your followers to view.

The big killer in network marketing opportunities has always been the failure to ‘earn’ early in the business. This has often destroyed the hopes and dreams of many network marketers. With a website business you have the means of ‘funding’ your marketing and advertising through many income streams. Network marketing companies aren’t interested in this. . . they just want you to buy their product. . . your longevity in network marketing by sustaining your bottom line does not concern them! They’ll catch up one day. . . but that won’t stop you from building a substantial website business now.
