5 Ways to Choose the Top Network Marketing Affiliate Program

By Asem Eltaher

Classical affiliate marketing program is a robust model to make money online at home. It works simply by placing text-ads, banners, etc. on your site, which link to your affiliate partner. For example, if you have an ad on your web site to a credit cards program from Citibank, and one of your visitors clicked on this ad and joined a credit card program. Then, Citibank will reward you by offering you an affiliate commission which can be up to $100 per lead.

Network marketing affiliate program works on similar basis, but with one more significant benefit compared to the classical affiliate programs. In deed, you earn an affiliate commission, not only from the people you referred to join the program, but also from the people referred to this program by your referrals.

For example, if your refer customer (A) to a program, and customer (A) has referred customer (B) to the same program. Then, you earn money online represented in your affiliate commission not only from customer A but also from customer B.

Learn how to choose your network marketing affiliate program in 5 ways:

1. Did the company stay around for at least 3 years?

For sure, you do not want to invest your time and money in a program offered by an mlm company, and then few months later this company is not there any more. Therefore, it is really worthwhile to check the back history of the company before you join any program or service offered by it.

2. Check if the company offers unique products and services.

Before you join a program offered by this or that company, check first that these products are not just another "me too" products that have loads of competition and offered some where else with a better price.

3. Is there a genuine need for the product or service?

You might promote the best products and services, but they are not of any use to your customers. Therefore, it is a wise idea to check the high need of these products and if they are of a big use to your future customers. To do so; simply check third parties forums to see how wanted these products are.

4. Does the marketing system take full advantage of technology?

You need to check if your company offers the most recent technology for the marketing purposes. Not everyone is a sales type; but any one can plug into a system and tools that help to market and sell the products for you.

5. Will you have fun promoting these products?

Obviously, you need to do what you like to do. It is generally true since doing something that makes you fun would release a lot of the hard feeling that you are on duty. Several respected affiliate guides recommend promoting products, or services that are strongly coupled to your hobbies since they are any way of a big interest for you. - 15790

How Do You Recruit In A Recession

By Cade Krueger

It can be a huge challenge to find success in a down economy because it becomes emotionally difficult for a lot of people to keep their heads on straight as recruiters. Most will cave in and not use this time to their advantage. There are several things you can do to make a difference in your recruiting.

Probably one of the best things you can do is take the time to put in a 80/20 rule for your employees if you are a manager. Keep on the top 20% of your most productive recruiters and extend their contracts to show faith during challenging times. Then you will need to look to trim the excess with the bottom 10% and look to even take more out if necessary.

With the middle 70% you are going to have to be intelligent and look at each situation by an individual basis to find out exactly what works and what doesn't work during a challenging economy. Effort is so important with each person and often they just need time to prove themselves.

If you don't have managerial responsibilities, you do have personal responsibilities you need to take care of and these same rules apply. You have to analyze with a fine tooth comb what works and what is wasting your time. It is amazing when you map out exactly what your day is filled with and what you actually get done.

Look to train and make improvements in your strategies and look for ways to train out of the box during non work hours. If your are a front line recruiter then be smart about your efforts and use your day time to really focus on phone calls and evening on emails and training.

Start planning your hiring needs by the quarter for all of your important job positions that you have to fill. Get your line managers to update their quarterly plans and have them perform tracking just as often to realize what is working well. You have to be very smart with the time you have because this is a great open window to make improvements.

Make sure to find out what social media avenues work well during this time frame and implement them such as Entice Labs and Jobs2Web. These are great ways to find new markets of potential candidates that can lead to a solid nuturing pool.

Keep your head on straight and use this time as a chance to cut out the unnecessary areas of your recruiting that are holding you back. You can still create a lot of success in a down market. - 15790

Don't Think Competition, Think Cooperation

By William Blake

Many of us are instinctively competitive creatures, and are always thinking in terms of 'winning' or 'losing'.

It's important to be able to tell the difference between a competitive event and one where the winner is determined through cooperation. Although there's nothing wrong with wanting to win, our desires can hurt rather than help if applied in the wrong scenario.

You see, when you are engaging in a competition, there is always a goal or a finish line. If you are playing a game of chess, for example, the object is to 'check-mate', if you are playing football the object is to get more points than the over team in a limited amount of time. Internet marketing, however, does not come with a finish line. There is no time limit and the game is never over.

The objective of internet marketing is to move internet marketing forward. Cooperation is more effective than competition.

Everyone gets involved and helps to push the boundaries of internet marketing, simply because everyone knows that there is a collective benefit when new technologies are developed and implemented.

As a natural competitor it becomes a case of seeing who can cooperate more than their competition. Who is able to help their customers more, whose customers are making more money and having more success than their competitors customers.

The only way competition can help cooperation is by making us reach out to help others more quickly than our competitors. This is the only way to be successful at internet marketing.

There is more than enough business out there for all of us. The supply of customers is not limited, and the benefits for one internet marketer tend to filter down and benefit all of us through cooperation.

Leading on from this is my next point. Stop blaming the Guru's..

How many people have you met who always have an excuse for their own failures? 9 out of 10 times their failure was caused by someone other than themselves. You know what I mean.

When they relate their stories one common thread starts to shine through. They were the victims in their failed business. It wasn't their fault that their business failed, they didn't do anything wrong, etc, etc. It's dangerous to believe them purely because it's wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. We all hold success and failure in our hands, and we actively choose one or the other via the decisions we choose to make.

When businesses do fail...and they do....they fail for many reasons none of which can be attributed to others. I have heard internet entrepreneurs lay the blame for the failure of their businesses squarely at the feet of what they mockingly call, 'Internet Gurus'.

These whiners will tell everybody who will listen that the failure of their internet business was not their fault at all and that their businesses failed because a 'guru' led them wrong, sold them products that they didn't need and flooded their inboxes with so many offers that they couldn't get their work done.

The thing is that when any successful internet marketer ('guru') offers products to his list, he isn't forcing anyone to take up his offer. He is merely offering the product, and highlighting the benefits. Each customer makes a choice about whether to purchase the product or not.

These are merely offers of products that these successful internet marketers feel are worthy enough to be offered to their lists. The offer doesn't mean that the product will necessarily help each and every person on those long and impressive mailing lists.

Everyone is responsible for their own success and failure. Every internet entrepreneur should know their business well enough to analyze the pros and cons of of a product as it relates to his business. The advice of guru's is just that, advice. Ultimately you make the decision.

It isn't an order that you must follow...it is only a suggestion. The decisions about your business are always up to you and you alone. - 15790

A loan is a type of debt

By Keith BL Mallinson

In modern times, it is almost impossible to stay out of debt,this problem is sometimes caused by outside pressures. When this happens, it doesn't actually mean that it was done with intent. When a borrower has a poor credit history it's not the end of the world; there are still many companies who will provide bad credit loans for people in need of financial help. It's not the end of the world even if you have a poor credit scoreas bad credit loans can be provided by online companies.

Finance provided in this way is can be used by the applicant in the same way as a personal loan, they shouldn't find any restrictions. If a person is accepted for a loan then there is a good chance they may help their credit rating.

These bad credit loans may be used for other situations and not necessarily debts, so it could be used for an emergency expense that has arisen like medical fees not covered by insurance or a wedding for example. They use a loan that they can pay regularly, as a means to achieve this.

It also has a greater repayment period up to twenty five years. Through the unsecured loan method, an amount in the range of 2,000 to 50,000 dollars is available for borrowing but this sum has to be paid back in a period of 6 months to 10 years.

The risk of defaulting is much lower with a secured loan as the finance company take a charge on your property which is also the reason they can arrange the loan at a preferential rate of interest. But for an unsecured loan, the borrower is charged a higher rate of interest because there is no guarantee that the loan will be repaid.

It will probably be necessary to carry out some research online first. Loans arranged when court judgments are in force are harder to find, especially if you have special needs such as extending the period of the loan for example, so applications will need to be carried out online.

The good thing about bad credit loans is that you will probably still be able to fulfil your financial obligations without the poor credit score getting in the way. By making the loan application online it will speed up the process so you will be able to get back on with your life.

This opportunity should not be forgotten or wasted. - 15790
