Branding Your MLM Business

 If you have a network marketing based business, how do you make yourself stand out amongst the crowd? After all, not only are you competing against other businesses, often times you are competing with others selling the same exact thing as you are.

Here’s the answer:

You set yourself apart through branding.

Branding means developing a personal brand that makes you unique and easily recognizable. Branding can include an elaborate marketing plan filled with designer logos and press releases, or it can take on a simple flair, implemented with ease and effectiveness.

Since I’ve never been one to just throw money at a problem, I’ll just take the simple approach. Here are some things you can do to set your brand:

Be consistent. If you make additions to your website, do it in a predictable fashion. For example always add your new material on a Tuesday morning. If you send emails or a newsletter to your down line, always do it at the same time.
Get your face out there. People don’t want to buy from a computer, they want to buy from a person. Use gravatars that have your real picture. Do you have an “about” page on your site? If so you had better get a picture up – a lot of visitors to your site land there through an about page. In no other business model is this more important than with MLM.
Use an email signature. Use a signature set up that is uniquely you and announces what you do and what web sites you own.
Us econsistent colors and fonts within any correspondence. Make it match your web site’s look and feel.
This article barely scratches the surface of branding. A good, definable brand is crucial to your success. It’s well worth the effort to do a little research and learn as much as you can about branding.

Is EmergNet Legal?
To be honest, I have no idea as the company is still very new and has hardly shed their bubble wrap. What did put my warning antenna up was the following article. http://indianmlmblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/author-anand-naidu-is-not-and-never-was.html

If you scroll down to the comment section it is indicative that these operators have in fact started above company which leaves us very careful indeed.

Warning: I do not and never will by any means endorse EmergNet as a legal company. I have personally no idea about the legality or affiliation with EmergNet and caution you to do your own research before you part with any money.

All information in this article is based on the EmergNet website and cannot be verified for accuracy.

If you have first hand experience with this company is urge you to leave feedback in the comment section.

How Social Are You?
January 18, 2009 | By Monika Mundell | No Comments »

There has never been a better time to be involved with a network marketing based business. Can you imagine how difficult it was to get ahead before the days of the internet and email? It should make you appreciate how nice we have it these days.

The last few years have seen advances in communication tools like we’ve never seen before. If you spend any time at all on line, you’ve heard expressions such as “Social Media” and
“Web 2.0”. What we’re talking about are social networks and the potential of these networks is nothing short of astounding for someone involved in an MLM business.
Let’s take a look at a few of them:

Twitter – This is the quick but robust Jack-Rabbit of social media circles. Folks follow one another and build a network of followers. Communication is done through “tweets” – essentially 140 character or less instant messages. It is very easy to build a community and the effects are amazing. You can group with like minded folks and expand in whatever direction you would like. The potential for business growth and exposure is unlimited.
Facebook – If you are not on Facebook, you need to get there and get there today. You have the ability to connect with many people very quickly. You can also start a group, invite your down line to participate and really become a force to be reckoned with.
LinkedIn – A bit more formal arrangement than Facebook, but still effective. The potential is still there to do great things, it’s just a slower build.
The only thing that jumping into these is going to cost you is a little of your time. They are all free to join and with all three you can be up and running in minutes. From there you are only limited by how much work you are willing to put into the media.

Why You Need An Autoresponder Service For Lead Generation
January 18, 2009 | By Monika Mundell | No Comments »

Lead generation is the process of advertising your network marketing business with the help of your voice, Internet, advertising or word of mouth. Each and everyone of these options will generate interested leads who visit your site to find out more about your opportunity.

The problem with most established network marketing companies is the fact that they supply you with a lead generation site, what they fail to tell you though is that thousands of others get exactly the same template making it virtually impossible to rank well and or stand apart from your competitors.

Perhaps your company told you it didn’t matter to have competition. I tend to disagree though. In many circumstances I agree that competition is actually great for business, but when it comes to mlm it makes your life a lot harder if there are already dozens of distributors in your area.

Trying to compete with Tom, Dick & Harry will cost you a lot more than if you were the first person in your area to offer your opportunity.

The essentiality of an autoresponder service
Autoresponders are a must if you want to move your business ways beyond the common ground. Instead of using your company lead generation site set up a lead capture page and attract new leads by giving them a valuable free report in return for their email address and name.

Doing this is worth gold to you since you can then market to these people long after you left your current network marketing company.

As it happens most people chop and change several times before they ever get successful (if all).

You can choose from a wide range of autoresponder services. I found the best of them all to be:

Aweber
1ShoppingCart
If you don’t need a shopping cart I suggest you stick with the first one of those choices. If money is short you do have the option to choose a free service but be warned that they will bombard either you or your leads with annoying advertising in their emails.

Not exactly professional - don’t you think?

Out of the free choices I found FreeAutoBot to be the most appealing. I also found SendFree but have no personal experience with their service.

Choose business freedom with an autoresponder
By using an autoresponder you will operate your business without being bound to small print when you leave a company. As long as you stick to their TOS with your lead generation site you can do whatever you want with the leads you garner. Plus, by using a proper service like Aweber you will never be caught in a spam court case since all leads are collected by double opt-in methods.

Why I Like Mike Dillard
January 17, 2009 | By Monika Mundell | No Comments »

Mike Dillard has made waves when he came out with his Magnetic Sponsoring concept a couple of years ago. Up until then I was brainwashed like so many others by the network marketing industry. I believed everything I was told and in hindsight I was VERY blue-eyed indeed.

Little did I know that a book (or shall I say folder) would change my perception of the industry so much. Not only that, since then I have actually repaid my initial expense for the product with the help of affiliate sales. Not bad for no effort at all.

I guess what grabbed me most about Mike was the fact that he is down to earth, human (hard to believe with the level of success he has achieved) and most of all his incredible rags to riches story.

Achieving such levels of success like Dillard did is not a thing we hear that often and I guess I was inspired that not only was there a guy who managed to do just that, but also giving me hope to continue on.

I did just that but from the moment I read Mike Dillards book I looked at marketing in a whole new way, until this day I continue to question the obvious and look beyond what is told to the masses.

Best of all, Mike’s concepts can be applied to many other business models giving the buyer a great understanding of the human mind and how they operate when it comes to buying things. If you struggle in your current network marketing business you might want to give Mike’s Magnetic Sponsoring or his MLM A-Bomb a good workout.

Perhaps the biggest questions new students to Magnetic Sponsoring have is what it actually teaches. The following is a small excerpt from the website:

In contrast to “old school” prospecting methods taught by most leaders and network marketing companies, Magnetic Sponsoring is a totally new approach to building a thriving network marketing business based on age-old timeless wisdom. Success in network marketing this day and age requires a different set of skills, and more importantly, a different mindset than it has in the past. Magnetic Sponsoring reveals not only the mindset, but arms network marketers with the knowledge and tools needed to build a successful business using the internet.

Client/Server Network Model

Client/Server Network Model

In the client/server network model a computer plays a centralized role and is known as a server all other computers in the network are known as clients. All client computers access the server simultaneously for files, database, docs, spreadsheets, web pages and resources like hard diver, printer, fax modem, CD/DVD ROM and others. In other words, all the client computes depends on the server and if server fails to respond or crash then networking/communication between the server and the client computes stops.

If you want to configure a client-server network model then first prepare the server. Install Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Server from the CD on the server computer and make a domain. You can create a domain by this command on the Run “DCPROMO”. You can give this command once you install the server successfully. After you give the DCPROMO command you will be asked for a unique domain name. All the client computers will use the same unique domain name for becoming the part of this domain. This command will install the active directory on the server, DNS and other required things. A step by step wizard will run and will guide you for the rest of the steps. Make sure that a network cable is plugged in the LAN card of the server when you run the DCPROMO.exe command.

When the Active directory is properly installed on the server, restart the server. You can create network users on the server computer and also name/label the network resources like computers/printers etc.

Once you install the server successfully now come to the client computers. Install Windows 2000 professional on your all client computers. Once you install the Windows 2000 professional on the clients the next step is to make this computer (client computer) a part of the network.

Configuration Steps

1. Choose a unique name for each client computer
2. Choose unique IP address for each computer and relevant.
3. Use the same domain name for all client PCs.

Network/System administrators are required to do these administrative tasks on the server and client computers. Any shared resources on the network either on the server or the clients can be access through the My Network Places in the Windows 2000 platform. There is another way to connect to the shared resources by giving this command in the run \\ComputerName\SharedDriveLetter.

Network configurations steps can be implemented by right clicking the My Computer>Properties>

For giving the IP address you will have to right click on the My Network places>properties>Local Area Connection>Properties>Internet Protocols (TCP/IP)>Properties and then give the IP address and subnet mask of the same range and class for all the computers in the network.

The basic tips for administering a computer network.

the basic tips for administering a computer network.

1. If you are preparing a new system, make sure that you are using the best installation source such as an installation CD. After installing the operating system, also install up-to-date antivirus program such as Norton antivirus, Trend Micro, McAfee, Panda Antivirus or any other antivirus program of your choice.
2. After completing the installation process of all the networking computers, test your network for the performance, speed and security.
3. Keep your network design simple and segment your network in different sections so that it would be easy to isolate a faulty component of the network.
4. Regularly upgrade your network computers with the latest antivirus definitions, software patches and other security measures.
5. Purchase a planned hardware for your network and make a documentation of your hardware and software inventory.
6. Only install the required software applications on your server and networking computers. Any kind of unauthorized software or web based application can become source of viruses and other malicious codes from the internet.
7. Define network IP address, crate user accounts, create user material and keep the resources closer to the user.
8. Train your IT staff as well as all the users and warn them about any unauthorized activities.
9. Administer the access to the internet and put a tight security restriction on the unauthorized internet usage and block all the unwanted ports and web based application access.
10. Secure your gateway computer or proxy server as much as possible because gateway is directly exposed to the internet.
11. Mirror your hard disk.
12. Structure your network.
13. Being a network administrator, always research and test new network technologies and trends.

Also you must know the basic network technologies and troubleshooting tips. Do research and make a plan before setting up a network for your organization or clients. Always fill your resource kit with the data recovery software, backup utilities, up-to-dated antivirus programs, cable testers, cable cutter, cable connectors and other network security and troubleshooting tools. Also, keep yourself upgraded with the latest networking knowledge networking certifications such as MCSE, CCNA, CCNP, Network+, and Server+. Share your knowledge with your colleagues, IT managers and also reply the various networking troubleshooting and management related questions in the different forums on the internet. Hopefully this tutorial will provide you the basic understanding and insight of how to administer a computer network.

10 Network Blogging Survival Tips

10 Network Blogging Survival Tips
Blog Networks 28 comments
Do you blog at a blog network? If so this post from Deborah Ng from Freelance Writing Jobs might be worthwhile checking out.

While the income from blogs I own is rising steadily, the bulk of the money I earn blogging comes from maintaining blogs for other networks and individuals. It’s the network blogging thing I’d like to talk to you about today.

Many people balk at the idea of writing for a network because they feel there are too many rules or the pay is too low. I’m here to tell you this doesn’t have to be the case. Network blogging can be a great career boost – and very lucrative if you give it your all.

What follows are a few network survival tips.

1. Don’t balk at the base – Don’t let a low base pay keep you from blogging for a network. For most networks that’s just a starting point. The key to making money for a network are the traffic bonuses. With blogging, you get what you give. If you work hard to promote your blog and bring in traffic, those bonus bucks will add up. Trust me, I know. I’ve made four figures a month with my network blogs – mostly due to good traffic.

2. Don’t Choose a Topic You Know Nothing About – Because you’ll be blogging every day, you really do need to be passionate about your topic. If you choose a topic you don’t really know or enjoy it will soon be clear to you – and your readers. The most unhappy bloggers are the ones who aren’t blogging their passion. People who enjoy their topics never run out of things to write about.

3. Be a team player – When I worked in a corporate office I hated all mentions of teamwork. With network blogging it’s a different story. When I worked with a team in an office, someone else took credit for my work and very rarely was I rewarded for my efforts. With blogging, you want to work with other bloggers to promote each other and raise awareness and bring traffic to your blogs. Do take advantage of channel wide promotions and be free with your link love. Other bloggers will appreciate your efforts and do the same. You’ll also find yourself making some wonderful friends.

4. Stick to a schedule – The best way to meet your monthly quotas is to create a schedule and stick to it as best your can. When you’re blogging for a network it’s all about meeting your monthly quota. If you’re juggling multiple blogs, this isn’t so easy. I had a couple of bad months when I strayed from my routine. When you don’t post on a regular basis, and meet your weekly or monthly obligations, your pay and traffic suffers.

5. Establish a relationship with other network bloggers – With blogging, it’s definitely who you know. As mentioned above, successful bloggers scratch each others’ backs. If you find yourself unable to meet your obligations due to illness or emergency, your fellow network bloggers are always happy to help out.

6. Take advantage of channel and network-wide promotions – Many networks or channels have particular theme days or promotions. Do take part. They’re a lot of fun and can be a great way to introduce others to your blog. Usually those participating in the promotion will post links to all participating blogs.

7. Don’t be afraid to take on a co blogger – If you constantly find yourself behind but don’t want to give up your blog(s) consider taking on a co-blogger. I recently did so and found it to be a very positive experience. It brings a new voice to the blog and relieves some of the pressure of posting daily.

8. Take advantage of network training sessions and chats – If your network has regular chats or training sessions do yourself a favor and attend. They’re a goldmine of information! You’ll learn traffic tips, SEO tips, tips for writing content and more. Attendance isn’t usually mandatory, but where else can you get free training from experts in the field?

9. Don’t be afraid to have fun and inject a little personality – Many times bloggers feel that because they’re an authority, they should sound…well…clinical. This is fine if you want to put your readers to sleep. By all means, be factual, but use your real voice to keep people interested. And don’t be afraid to use humor, videos, cartoons, polls and quizzes to make things a little more interesting.

10. Speaking of video – Use it! I recently invested in a little Flip camera and use it to show product reviews and DIY updates. My readers respond to this because they get to hear my voice and also, I get to show them as well as tell them. I especially like video for product reviews as the reader can see what the product looks like, judge its size and also have a more honest review.

Are you a network blogger? If so, what survival tips would you like to add? If you’re not a network blogger, are there any questions you’d like to ask regarding blogging for a network?

10 tips for improving your wireless network

10 tips for improving your wireless network
Extend the range and the strength of your wireless network

If Windows ever notifies you about a weak signal, it probably means your connection isn't as fast or as reliable as it could be. Worse, you might lose your connection entirely in some parts of your home. If you're looking to improve the signal for your wireless network, try some of these tips for extending your wireless range and improving your wireless network performance.

1.Position your wireless router (or wireless access point) in a central location.

When possible, place your wireless router in a central location in your home. If your wireless router is against an outside wall of your home, the signal will be weak on the other side of your home. Don't worry if you can't move your wireless router, because there are many other ways to improve your connection.


2.Move the router off the floor and away from walls and metal objects (such as metal file cabinets).

Metal, walls, and floors will interfere with your router's wireless signals. The closer your router is to these obstructions, the more severe the interference, and the weaker your connection will be.
3. Replace your router's antenna.

The antennas supplied with your router are designed to be omni-directional, meaning they broadcast in all directions around the router. If your router is near an outside wall, half of the wireless signals will be sent outside your home, and much of your router's power will be wasted. Most routers don't allow you to increase the power output, but you can make better use of the power. Upgrade to a hi-gain antenna that focuses the wireless signals only one direction. You can aim the signal in the direction you need it most.


4. Replace your computer's wireless network adapter.

Wireless network signals must be sent both to and from your computer. Sometimes, your router can broadcast strongly enough to reach your computer, but your computer can't send signals back to your router. To improve this, replace your laptop's PC card-based wireless network adapter with a USB network adapter that uses an external antenna. In particular, consider the Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless USB network adapter, which adds an external, hi-gain antenna to your computer and can significantly improve your range.

Laptops with built-in wireless typically have excellent antennas and don't need to have their network adapters upgraded.
5. Add a wireless repeater.

Wireless repeaters extend your wireless network range without requiring you to add any wiring. Just place the wireless repeater halfway between your wireless access point and your computer, and you'll get an instant boost to your wireless signal strength. Check out the wireless repeaters from ViewSonic, D-Link, Linksys, and Buffalo Technology.
6. Change your wireless channel.

Wireless routers can broadcast on several different channels, similar to the way radio stations use different channels. In the United States and Canada, these channels are 1, 6, and 11. Just like you'll sometimes hear interference on one radio station while another is perfectly clear, sometimes one wireless channel is clearer than others. Try changing your wireless router's channel through your router's configuration page to see if your signal strength improves. You don't need to change your computer's configuration, because it'll automatically detect the new channel.
7. Reduce wireless interference.

If you have cordless phones or other wireless electronics in your home, your computer might not be able to "hear" your router over the noise from the other wireless devices. To quiet the noise, avoid wireless electronics that use the 2.4GHz frequency. Instead, look for cordless phones that use the 5.8GHz or 900MHz frequencies.
8. Update your firmware or your network adapter driver.

Router manufacturers regularly make free improvements to their routers. Sometimes, these improvements increase performance. To get the latest firmware updates for your router, visit your router manufacturer's Web site.

Similarly, network adapter vendors occasionally update the software that Windows XP uses to communicate with your network adapter, known as the driver. These updates typically improve performance and reliability. To get the updates, visit Microsoft Update, and then under Select by Type click Hardware, Optional. Install any updates relating to your wireless network adapter. It wouldn't hurt to install any other updates while you're visiting Microsoft Update, too.

Note When you go to Microsoft Update, you have two options: the Express Install for critical and security updates and Custom Install for high priority and optional updates. You may find more driver updates when you use Custom Install.
9.Pick equipment from a single vendor.

While a Linksys router will work with a D-Link network adapter, you often get better performance if you pick a router and network adapter from the same vendor. Some vendors offer a performance boost of up to twice the performance when you choose their hardware: Linksys has the SpeedBooster technology, and D-Link has the 108G enhancement.
10. Upgrade 802.11b devices to 802.11g.

802.11b is the most common type of wireless network, but 802.11g is about five times faster. 802.11g is backward-compatible with 802.11b, so you can still use any 802.11b equipment that you have.
