Avon Still Calling After 124 Years!

Avon Still Calling After 124 years!

Avon Calling, ding dong! Avon is one MLM company that I have heard of throughout my life. Where I live, in England, ladies who need some pocket money have always become Avon reps, because there are always people ready to buy! Wherever I have worked, someone would be handing round the Avon catalogue! And the prices were good, pretty affordable for all. We still get one delivered through our door every few months even now. The less motivated of the Avon ladies would just hand around the brochure at work, but still regularly got orders.

I was quite amazed therefore to find out what a large company Avon actually is!

Avon is the biggest direct seller in the world with over $10 Billion in annual revenue and shows no signs of stopping! In around 140 countries, they have about 6 million distributors. Wow! In the popularity rankings for MLM’s, they are top out of over 600 MLM companies! Avon actually began trading in 1886 and has increased their range from just beauty products to include jewellery, fashion and products for the home!

They do not seem to have been unduly affected by the recession. Of course the prices being so competitive and the fact that such a diverse range of products come delivered to your door, that does not really surprise me.

However, although hundreds of reps are enjoying using Avon to make some pocket money, the only real way to earn a six-figure income with Avon is to recruit into the business. Unfortunately the old school methods of getting people into your business just do not work anymore. And this is where Avon falls short. They do not have an online marketing system for their reps to use.

Building a big MLM business means working online as well as offline. The internet offers thousands of potential reps, who are looking for a way to supplement their income or build a big business.

What you need to do is to find a system online that will teach you the basics of marketing on the internet and lead you by the hand and show you how to find prospects who will want to join you in your Avon business and will want to use the same system as you, so they can get the same results as you.

Avon has come an incredibly long way since 1886! Avon does lots of advertising, they keep up with the times and they have lots of products that appeal to lots of different people. All of which keeps reps signing up everyday!

If you enjoyed this article on Avon and want to build a massive Avon business yourself, you need to get stuck into the #1 Attraction Marketing and Lead Generation System on the internet!

Online MLM Marketing Basics – Part 2

What Are the MLM Basics For Marketing Online - Tip 2

If you are interested in finding out the basics for marketing your MLM online, this is the second tip.  In order to market online, the first thing you need is a system.  You could manage without a system, but having one will save you lots of time, energy and money.  This second basic MLM online marketing tip is also very important.  Once you have a system in place, you need to get some training!  Training, or shortage of training, is in fact one of the biggest problems in MLM.  Because very few people who join an MLM get any training. Online, however, marketing is key!

How can I get training?  Well if you took tip number 1, getting a system, you would now have access to training.  Without the system, you could maybe try to find a mentor online who would be willing to give up his time to coach you. If not a mentor, then it is a matter of trial and error, which could take you a considerable amount of time. Sadly if you have been doing MLM offline you will probably go out and put out spam all over the internet as you have been taught.  The people who do this are not professional marketers.  It leads to people removing you from their lists of friends, because they are fed up of being sold to.

Getting some form of training online is extremely important. If you consider that you would have to be trained for any new job, then it is just the same on the internet. You are very unlikely to know exactly what to do on your first day online.  If you have been taught out-dated methods, you need to un-learn those first! Attraction Marketing is used online to find prospects. We do not chase prospects around, we do not cold call anyone and we do not pester people as they go about their work. Everything you learned about offline is pretty much back to front on the internet.

The system I use, Lead System Pro, has an unbelievable amount of training in the back office.  One particular training attracts people everyday to sign up for it.  It is about how to market your business on Facebook.  Anyone who has a business and wants to market on social media sites is grabbing this training!  The Article Marketing training is also very highly sought after.

As well as trainings on all the social media sites, you will also need training about posting advertisements, putting up banner adverts, how to do paid marketing such as pay-per-click and how to actually use Attraction Marketing.  When you understand how to market, you will be able to attract leads into your business.  The best thing to do when you are just starting, is to learn to master just one or two methods of lead generation.  When you are getting 10-20 leads a day from your efforts, you can continue to do that method, but also get some training on another method and stick at that until you have mastered that one too.

Eventually you will have built up several different ways to attract leads into your business.  But all this takes time.  Do not give up after a month or two, because it does take time to understand marketing online completely.  If you think that you are not getting as many leads as you should be getting, you need to step back and re-think.  It could just be one little tweak that makes all the difference.  Just go over the training again, and see if you can pick up something you may have missed the first time. And then just keep going!

What Are The MLM Basics For Online Marketing – Tip 3

What Are The MLM Basics For Online Marketing - Tip 3

This tip in the series ‘What are the MLM basics for online marketing’ is all about YOU.  In online marketing you do not market your business, you market yourself. Online we use Attraction Marketing to attract leads to us rather than the outdated methods of contacting our family and friends.  To understand Attraction Marketing, you need to read Mike Dillard’s book ‘Magnetic Sponsoring’.  By reading this book you will gain an understanding of how you should be working online.

In learning the MLM basics for online marketing, branding yourself is one of the most important and fundamental things you need to do.  People on the social media sites will soon get fed up of listening to you pitching your business to them if you do not learn this. People hate being sold to, but they love to buy.  They just want the freedom to choose what they buy.

So forget everything you were taught in the old school of mlm, and start ‘branding yourself’.  This may sound strange or uncomfortable at first; you may want to hide behind your brand. But everyone who markets online, whatever their sex or age is marketing this way, so you will soon feel more comfortable.  People buy from people they know, like and trust.  So you need to be seen and you need to connect with people.

The way to do that is to be valuable to people. Instead of offering them your opportunity, you should offer them help. Become valuable to them. What you can offer them, is information.  Each time that you learn something online about marketing your business, share it with everyone.  This starts to brand you as a leader or a trainer. Also, if you write an article or do a video on the subject, you are going over the subject again, which helps you to remember it.

You also need to consider your brand when you buy domain names for your websites. For your main website you need to have your brand, preferably with MLM somewhere in it.  For instance, mine is PrimeMLMTraffic.  You need to put some thought and perhaps some research into the name, and see what is available.

Most people use their own name for their blog.  Of course if you have a popular name this may not be possible.  In this case you would add something to it, such as WhoIs….. or WorkWith….  Always remember that whatever social media sites you join, they should be in your name as much as is possible.

You will then be slowly branding YOURSELF!

Now you are learning the MLM Basics For Online Marketing you need to take the next step and grab a copy of Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring Book to kickstart your MLM marketing online!!

Quixtar and Multi-Level Marketing Scams

In my first article I described the problems I faced as a seller for Mary Kay cosmetics. Of course some people may succeed with Mary Kay or other online opportunities, but I noticed that their main goal was not to help sellers gain profits.

I started to notice the problems with Mary Kay from the start, but after I tried to work things out to no avail; I moved on to Quixtar. At first I did not even want to consider using Quixtar because of the presentation I received. I was not warm to being pitched another MLM and I especially did not want to get caught into another one!

After a few months of confusion and thought, I decided to finally try Quixtar. When I first saw it, Quixtar did not seem like a Multi-Level Marketing scheme, but more like a wholesale business. They provided me with a selection of products to sell for only $150 dollars each year.

Wholesale Doesn’t Work With Small Profit Margins

I do not ultimately blame Quixtar, much of my failure was on my shoulders. I put myself into stability by sitting through a recruitment meeting and took in every single word that I was told. The presenter looked very professional and knowledgable. He even gave examples of success and plenty of information on Quixtar’s special catalogs and specials. This was only the beginning, however, because he kept promoting the products Quixtar had to offer.

This was the exact opposite of what I had disliked about Mary Kay’s operation. I tried to sell what I wanted with Mary Kay, but I was restricted; Quixtar had no restrictions of this time. There were also a lot more items and brand names that the presenter showed to us and we only had to pay one wholesale price. This Quixtar business did not seem like my former Mary Kay experience or like any MLM.

I wish I could have actually browsed at a catalog, though. After I had already signed up I took home the Independent Business Owner catalog. The bad news was that I was only allowed to get wholesale prices on vitamins. All of the other products were priced almost exactly like stores like Costco or Walmart.

I was not too apprehensive because it seemed like the vitamins would allow for a large, beneficial profit. Unlike Mary Kay, however, vitamins are not as popular as cosmetics to sell. I also had previous experience in selling cosmetics. Most goods only had a 5 to 10 percent difference on price and the shipping was not reduced at all! The brand names were not what I looking for either. I figured out that selling these products plus making a profit was not worth all of my time.

MLM Was More Important Than The Wholesale For Quixtar

After I was finally established and ready to sell vitamins at wholesale prices I was asked to recruit more prospective sellers into my group; unlike Mary Kay, Quixtar offered me to use different options when making sales, such as making one sale or allowing a person to sell wholesale after paying a monthly or annual fee.

This led me to one fact: a company or program cannot make you money if you are focusing on getting more people to sell for you. This was not the first time I learned my lesson, but this time it was with wholesale products. This dubious business model is what tricked me twice into scams known as MLM. Once the wholesale purchasers at the bottom of the food chain purchase their products they will not be able to make a profit. You will most likely be one of those people!

Profit Payments and Profit Margin Switches in Quixtar’s Scams

Quixtar had a suspicious system of paying out profits to their clients; instead of receiving a paycheck the sellers would receive a limited amount of points per sale. After you have finally reached a point checkpoint, Quixtar would send a check. After a lot of anger, I just kept the products for myself. The only advantage gained with using Quixtar is receiving Quixtar products for $149 a year instead of going out to buy groceries. It would have been better for a family bigger than mine, which only contained two.

Quixtar also switched its system and point structure every quarter. It was very hard to set up a plan or organize all of my ideas when everything kept switching. Even if I suckered enough customers to purchase my product I would quickly lose them to the big wholesale companies. I would also have an unstable income because of the changing point amounts per product. I might have made a lot of points in a given quarter with certain drinks only to find that they are worth much less the next quarter. Why couldn’t they give an exact monetary value for each product? Because then a lot of people would be turned away by the low profit margins!

I would never recommend Quixtar to anyone, unless you want to buy groceries in bulk. You will receive groceries for a lower price and they will also be delivered to your house like you are a member of an important club. You will not, however, make any a lot of money by selling products, even with a large amount of clients. You could make a profit by recruiting many people, but I do not think you could recruit enough people to fall for this scam.

Seven Steps You Must Do For Online Success

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcuy37Wap-s

Starting a business online can be one of the easiest things you can do. With all the free software available to you it doesn’t take much money. You will want to map out a marketing strategy and a budgetary game plan; and you must stay within your means to avoid overspending, which is very easy to do. The automation process of your business has been simplified by the internet.

Once you start marketing, it could get crazy in a hurry. The Internet has turned into the Wild, Wild, West! There is no structure to the organization of the Net, and if you don’t give your customers a way to find you, you won’t make any money from your business. That is why you must make sure you understand which customers you’re trying to reach. The more specific you are the more successful you will be!

Although you will find that there are many “Guru “opinions on how to market your business online, here are seven initial steps that can help you to increase your profits and mainly involve investing your time:

1. Autoresponder – All Experts say that the success for you begins with the list generating process! Now you could purchase leads, but it is not the same as creating content that entices your customers to want more so they will opt in. This starts your list. A subscription box is necessary to make it possible on your website. Use a company like Global Virtual Opportunities or Aweber – the cost is usually $20 a month and well worth every penny!

2. Video Marketing – This provides a human touch to article writing. People tend to indentify with someone, once they can visualize that person in their head. Video Marketing has turned out to be one of the most effective tools to use. Video Marketing is very cost effective because you can post to all the video resources available to you, i.e. YouTube, Viddler, Tube Mogul, etc at no cost. Focus on the FREE resources to save money.

3. Article Writing – You will want to write and submit to article directories like Ezine Articles and Amazines. This is a way to demonstrate your product’s potential and is an excellent source to provide the information that your customer’s are looking for. The cost is ZERO!

4. Blogs and Forums – You will want to create your own blog and then participate in forums in order to find out what your customers specific needs are. This is where your prospects gather and discuss subjects related to what you are marketing. WordPress and Blogger are good sources for blogging. Again, the cost is ZERO!

5. Social Marketing – This new phenomenon has changed the Internet marketing world. I would recommend you gettting either a Facebook, Twitter, and/or a My Space Account. In this area, you will want to make as many connections as possible, and get to know them as time permits. DO NOT USE THIS AS AN AVENUE TO MARKET YOUR PRODUCT – A BIG TURN OFF! The goal is to network and develop friendships, and your business promotion will take care of itself!

6. Free Classified Ads – There are great channels out there, such as Craigslist, US Free Ads, and Classified For Free. It is crucial when you first start that you post ads to them nightly.

7. Vitual Advertisements – This is another way to put ads out on the Internet for free; but the programs that have a monthly fee, usually provide more exposure for your ads.

By implementing several of these steps weekly, you will have a complete and successful marketing plan up and running within a month.

You have to tract all your website activity – this is very important. The internet has many free tools available to help you do this. StatCounter has a great tool to use as well. You can monitor how well you are doing, specifically your website activity and your progression towards your ultimate goal – a successful internet marketing business. Congratulation on taking the first step towards financial freedom!
