I am living proof that business success just using the internet can be achieved in a relatively short amount of time if you apply the right skills. Occasionally you come across the Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods of your era. I believe I have found that person in the field of internet network marketing.

Never before have I seen someone go from a zero to hero in just a short period of time. This only proves that there are options out there for you on the internet.  It also lets you know that there is a way to create your own economy regardless of what’s going on in the world. Whether you are a home business entrepreneur or a network marketing business owner this short story is worth seeing. This guy is absolutely nuts. Take a look and leave your comments below the video.

Watch this crazy guy!

There’s been a lot of debate over which marketing strategy is better to begin with when you first come online to build your internet business. Some gurus believe those building on a budget should focus solely on free marketing strategies while others insist even if you’re on a  budget, a small investment in paid strategies can catapult you to success online faster.

Basic understanding of both strategies is vital for success with your online home business. If you can learn both methods you will build diversity in your lead generation effort which eliminates your dependency on one traffic method.  Just look at the multitude of marketers who either went out of business or suffered terribly because of the new Google PPC rules  (which caused what’s known as the Google slap), and  you’ll understand why relying on one marketing strategy does not make good business sense.

The only difference between free leads and paid leads is the speed it takes to see results. If you have a lot of time and are short on funds use the free marketing methods. If you have a budget even one as small as a $500 investment, tackle some of the paid strategies so you can see results fast.

One of the free methods you can try is article marketing. Simply write articles and submit online to Ezinearticles.com. This is one of the most popular article directories on the internet and they receive millions of hits to their website each month. If you are going to use article marketing as a strategy submitting to ezinearticles .com is a must. You can also submit your articles to other top article directories but start with ezinearticles.com.

Video marketing on YouTube is another free lead strategy that can take your marketing viral extremely fast. Video reaches millions of viewers who would rather see than read and it is a huge audience. YouTube is the 3rd largest site in the world only behind Google and Face Book so their audience is massive.  Make sure your videos either entertain or educate your target audience with content in your niche market.

One paid lead strategy that can get you results fast is newsletter marketing. This is where you would pay for advertising in online newsletters. There are many options available including what’s called a top sponsor ad. This is where your ad would appear first before the newsletter’s content. Other ad options are solo ads where you control the entire ad space and middle sponsor and classified ads.

Just remember both free lead and paid lead strategies work and they both work effectively. The only difference is speed.

Efusjon Energy club is in the process of emailing their distributors that they have decided to cease operations in the direct sales and network marketing aspects of the business. While this is devastating news for those who were involved with the company this process happens a lot in the industry.

First of all let me say how sorry I am to hear this if you have been affected. This happen to me about a month into a company I joined earlier this year. Stay strong through this difficult period and try your best not to blame your upline as they are just as unaware as you were this was going to happen.

Now is the time to regroup and not allow this sad news to defeat you. Focus instead on the skills you’ve learned your time in this company and how you can use what you’ve learned to move forward with your business. You see, all of us involved in network marketing companies are still just representatives of that company and we must develop our talents and skills beyond that company even if we love it.

A  few suggestions  you can use to keep you moving in a positive direction can be found in this brief video

The biggest problem most marketers have online is a lack of leads.  To become a successful internet marketer you really must understand that your success online is directly tied to steady lead flow. This is more important than the size of your leads database. You must have a steady flow of daily leads to have a successful online business.

There are a multitude of ways of generating leads from free strategies like article and video marketing to paid strategies like Pay Per Click advertising on Google, Yahoo, Bing and FaceBook. The most important point to understand about lead generation is that the message that you deliver must be compelling enough for someone to want to join your list.  That’s lead generation in its simplest form. The way to insure that your message is compelling to the target market is by solving a problem your target market is experiencing.

If you can compose a message which solves a problem or gets results for the target market you will generate leads. So how do you do that? It’s simple if you understand your market. Simply sit in front of your computer and think about what your target market would search for online. Once you understand what they are searching for you can now determine where they hang out online.

You will find that many hang out in forums or groups in FaceBook, MySpace or LinkedIn. Now that you know where they hang out, join some of those groups and forums. Read and learn from the conversations posted in these forums or groups.  You will find a pattern of wants, needs, frustrations and desires developing in the conversations. Take that information and begin to develop your message accordingly.

Keep in mind, your message must solve an issue for the target market or you don’t get leads. In essence your message must solve:

A Frustration

A Challenge

A Desire

If your message is compelling enough you will find yourself with more leads than you can call. This is the position you want to be in your business. Being at this state in your business will allow you to concentrate on building relationships with those leads so that they will begin to know, like and trust you.

Lead generation is not difficult; you just need to understand your market to get leads. The more you understand about your market and the more you can address them with compelling messages the more steady flow of leads you will gather on a daily basis.
