Answer Upon - Why 95% Of Home Business Owners Fall FLat On Their Face...
I Was Getting Too Much Traffic Crashing My Website nly now you feel like your dreams are flushed down the toilet.What a great comment! Isn't this incredible. He actually took the bio box links off to reduce his traffic, and it worked, but only to a point, as still the majority of his traffic was coming from syndicated articles that he couldn't alter.This shows the massive power of article marketing to bring targeted traffic to your website(s).What am I talking about? I'm actually quoting from Peter Cutforth's recent and unique 'e-interview' with Lance Winslow, the author of over 10,000 articles submitted to one of the leading article directories on the internet.Lance's 20 month 'experiment' has yielded some incredible results. He literally decided to take off all his resource boxes to reduce traffic. That's the EXACT OPPOSITE of what all marketers teach (including Peter) on article marketing!!So Peter asked him this question:"….Is your approach purely from the perspective of making a contribution to the social fabric of the world?"Here's Lance's response:Lance: "Yes and it's a start. Currently I am taking my content, editing it and putting it into Book form, some of these books I will pitch to publishers, some I will give away to entrepreneurs, digital libraries and students and others I will sell as eBooks. Here is a list of the books I am working on from my content and I am actively seeking co-authors who would like to propel themselves in writing, add credibility to the books and add relevant content to these books or I will simply do them myself."Hmmm, did you read those words "actively seeking"?See below to access the list of topics and titles Lance lists that he is planning, in this fascinating interview, and who knows, there may be an opportunity for you?

Thus, Creating Success In You from the start! First of all, allow me to explain to you why I am giving out this information. My husband and I have pursued the entrepreneurial carrot for years before getting into network marketing. Let's face it people, we hated our jobs and we deserved to be self-employed. I can safely say that you do to; otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. We have done many things ranging from catalog home parties; corner hot dog stands, eBay stores, personal development products, and complete financial education programs. There are several things we have collectively learned along the journey and we have seen many successes and more failures in this industry than we care to mention. We have worked very hard over the years in searching for the perfect business that will bring prosperity and abundance to our lives, which is what everyone wants, desires and deserves. We have been involved in many businesses that were very promising and rewarding. Something that we have found over and over again is that most companies are missing something very important that makes the business model complete. Since our discovery, it is only fair that we put this information out to everyone seeking this reward to help reduce the "quit and failure" rates in this industry. Sit tight and grab onto to something because what I am about to reveal to you may be shocking, startling or just plain scare the you know what right out of you! In network marketing, there are tons of companies promoting products, compensation plans and easy to follow, duplicatable systems. For example, the sales pitch is this... 1. You are not required to do any selling, telling or explaining, the system does that for you. 2. You are not required to stock or warehouse any products; the system does that for you. 3. You are not required to answer any questions; again the system does that for you. 4.All they are saying is that you just bring qualified people to the table, they will do all the cooking and serving for you, and you get paid. This all sounds like a really good system.You may be saying, "Wow, I can do that! It's so easy, there is no way to fail, I don’t have to do anything, and they do all the hard work for me!" Then you get started. You’re excited and anxious. You plug into the training calls that take up most of your day, leaving little time to actually operate your business. You are overwhelmed with one success story after another. (Again making is sound easy) You follow the "System" and you do exactly what they told you to do. A few months roll by. You’re still buying the recommended leads. You’re throwing money into ads in newspapers. You’re spending hours on the phone looking to make a sale. When the perfect prospect finally shows up, you’re now searching endlessly for 3 way support to sell, tell, and explain for you. Frustration sets in. Money is being wasted. You still haven’t made your first qualifying sales to start putting money in your pockets. Your bank account is dry and your patience is gone. You eventually quit and right it off as "Well, I figured it was all too good to be true!" You go back to your miserable job with more feelings of failure and remorse than what you had to begin with. Only now you feel like your dreams are flushed down the toilet. Sad story isn't it? I know, we've been there and done that... a few times! Is there an answer to this?

Like the clich?s of selling ice to Eskimos (or the British version of selling coal to Newcastle), Richmond, Virginia-based Coal Baron E. Morgan Massey was five years ahead of the markets when he raised $75 million to develop coal mines in China’s Shanxi province in 2001.As early as 1994, the seventies-something founder and chairman of A.T. Massey Coal, which has since evolved into Massey Energy (MEE), began planning to bring American-invented Longwall mining technology to China’s coal mines in Shanxi province. With his Chinese partners, Massey and Asian American Coal control about two billion tons of coal reserves.It is Massey’s spin off coalbed methane (CBM) company Asian American Gas, which caught our eye. According to Shanxi News, the CBM output of a pilot well set a new national record, continuously producing 40,000 SCM per day (standard cubic meters). The new technology which created the new national record is something called “Multi-Lateral Drilling (MLD).”Asian American Gas Chief Executive Zou Xiang Dong claimed the MLD technology helped the methane gas output for his wells on his company’s Panzhuang CBM block in Shanxi province jump by more than 40 times that of conventional vertical wells. Obviously the company is excited as four other MLD wells installed in the latter half of 2006. The company believes those wells might also have the potential to match the record production. The previous daily output record stood at 16,000 cubic meters.China Celebrates Coalbed MethaneAn inside look at China’s rapidly blossoming CBM industry is nothing if not electrifying. The world’s energy entrepreneurs have been rushing to China to take up the country’s state-owned methane gas company – China United Coalbed Methane Co (CUCBM) – on production-sharing contracts offered to foreign energy companies. Since its inception, CUCBM has signed 27 production-sharing contracts with CBM developers from the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia.The largest publicly traded company, and among the first to participate, was Chevron Corp (CVX).

The nation’s largest minority group is increasing its presence even faster than in the previous decade. Contrary to popular belief, births have overtaken immigration as the largest source of Hispanic growth. If you are not marketing your products with this “minority” in mind, you are making a big mistake amigo.Boomers Retire- With nearly 80 million baby boomers driving our current economy, but with 330 of them turning 60 each hour, there’s clearly a change on the horizon with marketing implications all around. Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects a labor force of 162.3 million individuals in 2012, while the economy will require 165.3 million jobs to be filled. Who is going to fill those jobs?Health Care Costs Increasing- Old news you say? It is going to get much worse. The real culprit is an acute shortage of doctors coming out of too few medical schools. If the trend line continues at the current rate for the next twelve years, half of the US population will not be able to afford even minimal healthcare. Talk about haves and have nots.Mass Personalization- Mass marketing is dying and it is being replaced by mass personalization, a trend that finds the consumer demanding goods and services tailored uniquely for them including clothing, information, and food. Did you know that you can order custom colors of M&Ms with unique personalized logos? Gotta have that!Social Networks- MySpace is only the beginning. People want to find others just like themselves by “data mining” the 300 million person pool of US citizens. The networking possibilities are limitless. Marketing is now permanently viral.Wireless Everything- Over the next five years, most common consumer products will become wireless. Say good-bye to cords, cables, and wires. The bad news is that this wireless trend will obsolete virtually all the consumer products that you own today.Everything Online- Bricks and mortar sales channels are dying Sit tight and grab onto to something because what I am about to reveal to you may be shocking, startling or just plain scare the you know what right out of you!

It's Joe Noname with SuchNSuch Investment Company and has he got a deal for you.Joe wants to be friendly and engage you in a few not-too-personal questions just to break the ice before he gets into his too-good-too-be-true pitch. Stock, oil, Internet, telecommunications, you name it.Joe tells you about his company's credentials and how they are "affiliated" with some big New York bank or investment house - a name that everyone knows and trusts. And Joe also wants you to know how experienced he is and he came from a big, well-known brokerage house because this deal was too good to pass up and he wanted everyone to know about it. He has even bought shares in it himself. And pigs can fly!He carefully mixes truth with unsubstantiated material, which appears to be fact. His company is registered (probably true) and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (lie, they don't approve of any company) and is affiliated with AT&T or Bill Gates (a lie, but very hard to check out). He interweaves little lies and big ones so it all sounds credible.This investment is so good it is underwritten by the big brokerage house Morgan Stanley and guaranteed by MCI or some other big name. Furthermore, we guarantee your investment because you are paid first before any dividends are paid to any other shareholder. This is a "no-risk" investment. The last time our company had one of the high quality investments all the investors made 500% on their money in less than 18 months. Isn't that great! I wish I had some of the first offering; I'd be rich now. Joe will probably quote you some stock offering like Yahoo or Intel that did make this kind of return or even more, but you can be assured this company had nothing to do with it."Mr. Mushroom, don't miss out on this as there are only a limited number of shares my company is allowing me to offer. How much cash do you have you would like to make 500% on at this time? $5,000. I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll reserve a thousand shares for you and give you the option to pick up another 10,000 shares any time in the next 30 days provided you can wire in the first $5,000 immed Then you get started. You’re excited and anxious. You plug into the training calls that take up most of your day, leaving little time to actually operate your business.

If you knew what the world was going to be like in five, ten or even twenty years do you see the benefit of positioning yourself today so that you could take advantage of them and experience greater success as these trends come to fruition in the future? I can tell you that over 75 percent of my business today and for the past twenty-five years has come from only five major industries – and I selected those industries in 1973. Was it luck? I am not that lucky. Was it brilliance? I am not that smart.No, it was research into what I believed at the time would be long term trends. That decision years ago has permitted me to keep my new sales acquisition costs to a minimum for over twenty-five years and allow me to focus most of my effort and resources (and these were often limited) to ensuring success year in and year out. Yes, there were a few years where these industries (markets) tended to fall short of my projections, but over the long haul the benefits more than outweighed the downside.How did I do it? I still do it today. I read the books, articles, case studies – whatever I can get my hands on – by the futurists. Who are they? Here are a few of my favorites:Marvin CetronRoger HermanCarolyn CorbinJohn NaisbittWilliam StraussWillis Harman, PHDPaul KennedyDaniel BurrisPine/GilmoreWilliam BridgesDo you want to outsell the competition in the future? Do you want to guarantee your future career or business success? Then I recommend you read at least 2-3 books a year by any of the notable futurists. You have nothing to lose. Sad story isn't it? I know, we've been there and done that... a few times! Is there an answer to this? Is there a way to keep this from happening to you? You bet! The answer is finding the missing link. So let's take a moment here and go over a few important facts, 1. 86% of home-based business owners report being happier running their own business compared to working for someone else. 2. 92% recommend working from home to others. 3. Less than 10% of Americans are self-employed, yet they control over 90% of the wealth in this country! Let's stop right there for a moment.

Those same percentages of "business owners" spend thousands of dollars on leads and advertising without any results, which is reason #1 why the quit. 3. About 40% of the business starters invest their money and then never work the business. 4. Most people getting involved in the home business are promised immediate outrageous results just for buying in and then are disappointed when the money tree doesn’t produce money! You may say to yourself... Wow! Why is this happening and how can I keep it from happening to me? Again, that's why we created this free report to inform you of how you can keep it from happening to you. Now let's take a look at a particular business model and examine what exactly it's "selling" its potential distributors. Business Models: Any network marketing, direct sales, MLM (multi-level marketing) company all have systems in place for you to follow, and swear up and down about the support and training provided. As long as you follow this system, take the advice of the sponsor, be coach-able and trainable and not reinvent the wheel you will have success. That's true, to an extent. Unfortunately, most companies are missing a very important ingredient that makes it all completely work. Take a look at some of the "systems" that are out there. This is what they will tell you are required to become successful. (Quick Note: If you've been called by a rep, this will sound familiar. If you are a rep, again, doesn't this sound familiar?) The System: 1. Lead Generation: for those of you who are brand new to the language, this is simply getting people to opt in and look at your opportunity. There are several ways to generate leads. What they will tell you is to run a newspaper ad, magazine ad, place fliers on telephone poles, talk to (chase) your friends and family, internet ads, or go the easy (and very expensive) route and purchase "business opportunity seekers" leads. Some even have approved lead vendors affiliated within the company. (Keyword - affiliated) 2. Once you get your leads, however you go about getting them, call them up and "qualify them" for your time. You ask them a series of pre-written questions by following a provided script and determine their answers to qualify them as serious or curious. 3. Put them through the system. You instruct the serious leads to attend a live/recorded business overview call, or send them to your website to get all the juicy details. 4. You follow up with them, either they call you or you call them back. You take their temperature based on the information they received. If they rank high enough on the scale... 5. You 3 way them over to another leaderto get their questions answered and collect the decision. After the 3 way, if they say yes = you get paid! Very simple isn’t it? And by the way... they say that you only have to work your business a couple hours a day to get results. (Tempting, really) Company Training: Most companies have some sort of training involved through live calls - scheduled throughout the week or even recorded versions on a specific number and some even have web-meetings in their back office. This makes it convenient to people that are still working their J-O-Bs to get the necessary training to run their business compliantly. (This is also included in the pitch) Within these training events, you are taught how to prospect (talk to people), how to do 3 ways, and how to sign people up. Some even throw in the psychology and mindset training to mentally prepare you for all of these. They offer support from many other leaders including your sponsors, and that support generally refers you to "see step one, two or three" Or my favorite... "You haven’t purchased the high dollar level and until you do you wont make any money and I wont work with you" I personally love that one! Either way, support is provided and every now and then you actually get a sponsor that will truly advise you and help you, without actually giving it to you. If you are one of the few that gets an up line like that, consider yourself very fortunate! This system actually works and few people are seeing results by this. But there is still something missing. Something very important that will literally put you on stage in the next company event. Something that will change everything about your business and make you THE TOP INCOME EARNER. Something, and I would bet, that none
