<description><![CDATA[ One of the best network marketing strategies for attracting prospects is article marketing. Attraction marketing has grown over the past 18 months in the MLM area and promotional strategies involving article marketing are being utilized by networkers to grow their lead lists.

But there are definite aspects of writing articles which need to be done correctly otherwise they end up like old school MLM recruiting tactics - it becomes hit and miss with the emphasis on miss.

One of the most important aspects of an article is the resource box. A person will spend time and effort in creating an attractive headline followed up by good content but they often let themselves down badly with a poorly constructed resource box.

So what makes a good resource box and how should it be constructed? The fact is, you are in a solution solving business. People look at MLM as a way to help ease their financial strain and build long lasting wealth. 

Your article will contain useful snippets they can take away but it's also the preview to the most important aspect of the entire piece. That is, you want them to find their way to your website or blog and it's not just enough to impress them in the content with your tips.

A powerful resource area is crafted around the problem and solution factor. In other words, while your content may have given them some good options, if it's done it's job and convinced them to want more information, then they are naturally going to be looking for a link.

So wording your resource area is vital. Remember, they are still in the mindset of having a problem and they are looking for a solution. So craft your resource box around this. As far as network marketing strategies go, articles are a powerful way for creating interest in you and your opportunity.

Here's an example of a well crafted resource area..."More than 90% of network marketers leave their business in the first three months. Avoid being one of the statistics by applying the most powerful lead generation techniques in MLM to your business and becoming one of the successful few." 

Now there's still plenty of room for improvement but study the concept. We've created or stated a huge problem. Then we've solved it or offered a solution with our second sentence. Can you see how powerful this is? Practice it and you'll soon be applying one of the more powerful network marketing strategies to your lead generation efforts. ]]></description>

<title>Network Marketing Lies - The Most Dangerous Lie In MLM</title>
<link>http://www.populate.net/Business/Network_Marketing/network-marketing-lies-the-most-dangerous-lie-in-mlm.html</link>

<pubDate>Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ One of the biggest network marketing lies was anyone can do this business. In fact, it was a line used extensively to show prospects that this is a business for the average person and the chance to create financial wealth.

The truth is, MLM is a business for the average person and yes, financial wealth can be created but reality is, not everyone can do this. For someone involved in network marketing it's probably not the thing one should be telling prospects because you want them to sign up with you right? Well yes, but there needs to be a good deal of qualification conducted as well because as fast as you sign them up, they'll tumble out of your business just as quickly.

That's one of the reasons why the attrition rate sits at over 90% of people leaving their business within three months. It's not a healthy statistic is it and not one you would want to use in your prospecting campaigns.

The reason why everyone cannot do this is simply a lack of skills. The network marketing lies go beyond just telling people they can do this. It's usually followed up by being told they just need to sign up and their business will be built for them. But the issue of lack of skills is very real.

For example, a network marketer needs to virtually be an all round talent. They need to be prospector, recruiter, motivator, phone salesperson, coach and business manager. How many people do you know possess all these skills? Yet day after day people jump into an MLM business focused just on the promise of making big money without regard to how they are going to build and manage their business.

MLM is a great business but the training of a prospect needs to start from the moment they come into someone's funnel. Instead of building them up with hype about the money they can make instead, the prospect should be "showered" with training and education. In fact, it should be focused on the how. You need to be able to show someone exactly how they are going to build their business rather than fluffing them up with an unrealistic picture.

By giving them value and the how, you have a much better chance of earning their trust and enjoying their involvement as a member of your downline. "Anyone can do this" is one of the more dangerous network marketing lies because it simply is too shallow and does nothing for teaching a prospect how they are going to reach their goals. ]]></description>

<title>How To Take Your Network Marketing Recruiting To The Next Level</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The issue of credibility is real when it comes to network marketing recruiting. Why? Because the fact is, when you are promoting a business opportunity most people will obviously want to know what your credentials are and whether you can back up your claims with personal success.

Now what if you are a young person just out of school or a work from home mom with not a lot of business experience behind you? How do you present yourself in a credible manner to your prospect? This issue was extremely frustrating for the majority of MLMers employing old school methods such as making a list and approaching everyone they know.

The way to get around this is to join the revolution taking place online. It's called renegade network marketing and the bottom line is, by using attraction marketing techniques, credibility really isn't an issue anymore because prospects will come to you.

As far as boosting one's network marketing recruiting efforts, when someone actually approaches you about your business opportunity the magic that occurs here is you are suddenly in a position of holding the carrot and the prospect wants it. That's the power of attraction marketing.

It's called positioning yourself. When you go after prospects relentlessly using the old prospecting tactics you have nothing to bargain with. The prospect has all the power. You are offering them the chance to join you in business but what are you really offering them. Is it a health product, an opportunity to make lots of money or the chance to start their own home business. Why would a prospect say yes to any of these benefits when they didn't even ask you for information on your offer.

Can you see where this is going? It's the prospect who is positioned to make the decisions. But you can easily turn this around by placing your promotions in front of a hungry home business seeking crowd and gain positioning strength yourself. Instead of harassing and chasing down prospects, attract their attention and get them coming to you.

MLM online is growing rapidly. People are realizing they can prospect more than just their own back yard. They have an entire planet to target and better still, by creating online real estate and offering people informative articles and business building tips instead of a sales pitch, the lead generation machine will be active 24/7. 

It's the pre-cursor to powerful network marketing recruiting strategies. When you position yourself in the prospecting stakes then it's you who has what the prospect wants and this is the key to getting large sign up numbers in MLM. ]]></description>

<title>The 5 Key Elements Of Surviving A Relationship Break Up</title>

<pubDate>Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ The issue of surviving a relationship break up is two-fold. There is the situation where two people mutually agree to split and then there's the situation where one person is on the end of a dumping. It's the second issue we will cover in this article.

When a break up is one-sided the emotions created within the person given their marching orders are pretty powerful. Two of the most common are panic and desperation and unless these are kept in check they can lead to actions which can further destroy the relationship.

The difficult aspect of being in this situation when surviving a relationship break up is you are more than likely still in love with your ex. You don't want to break up and the natural inclination is to express your feelings in that way. This usually means being demonstrative, argumentative and even acting needy. None of these will have any effect at all on your ex other than to further drive a wedge between the two of you.

So what can you do? How do you act so you can experience the magic of making up? Here are some tips to put you back in a position where your chances of winning your ex back are increased.

1. One of the first rules of surviving a relationship break up is to find some solid ground. Remember, things may seem hopeless to you now but the best thing you can do is walk away from it and get your thinking back on the "straight and narrow."

2. Don't contact your ex. Avoid the temptation to pick up the phone or send them a text or email. Many will do this acting out of impulse when they want to share something. It's natural. You always shared stuff with them when you were together but you're not now.

3. Don't run them down to their friends. If you run into friends of your ex and they ask how you are just say you're doing great or you're taking a trip or you're even dating again. Anything but being critical of your ex.

4. Avoid the temptation to show up at their favorite hang outs and then treat it as a co-incidence. People will see through this and if it happens regularly then it's becoming more than co-incidence.

5. Don't act needy. That is, avoid telling your ex you cannot live without them and your life means nothing without them. This is considered ugly behavior and gives you no positioning at all. ]]></description>

<title>How To Attract Only Targeted At Home Business Leads And Cut Out Rejection</title>

<description><![CDATA[ There are three main questions you need to ask about your prospects before you begin attracting them into network marketing. Haphazard prospecting is unproductive and dejecting and doing it long enough will surely force you out of business.

Without a steady supply of at home business leads you're denying yourself the lifeline to establishing a successful business. Without leads there's no one joining you and as far as network marketing is concerned, people are what sustains it.

These are the three main questions you need to answer before prospecting:

1. Who is your target market? In other words, who are the people likely to be most interested in your opportunity?

2. What are they actually looking for? Do you know the things that concern them and what they are actually thinking about?

3. Do you know what they need? And do you have the solution they are looking for?

As a network marketer, knowing your target market is vital. Because network marketing can be really challenging in the first few months, you want to eliminate the chances of constant rejection by only targeting people with an interest in what you're offering.

So in a broad sense, at home business leads for this niche would naturally include those looking for home business opportunities. But that is still a little too broad. You need to drill down even further. People who are looking to get out of the 9-5 grind are a good target market but still a little too broad.

The truth is, your best target are network marketers. Think about this for moment. They have already been involved in the business, they may have failed in the past and are between companies, or they may have been unfortunate to see their company fail despite the fact they had a little success. So their appetite has been whetted.

Once you've established this then it's time to look at the other two questions. This is a great exercise and you simply put yourself in your prospects shoes and imagine what they would be looking for, what they need and want and what solutions you can then provide for them.

This is great information to use in your marketing and promotion because when you connect with your at home business leads on a conscious level and they come across your message, then they become attracted to you simply because you are understanding what they need. and it's you people will join in business not your company. ]]></description>

<title>6 Ways To Generate Leads With An At Home Business Site</title>

<description><![CDATA[ An at home business site is a must today if you want to have any chance of growing your business. This is especially so for network marketers who may have been okay without online real estate up until a couple of years ago but the truth is, with the number of renegade system MLMers emerging, the ability to draw enough leads into a business offline has diminished considerably.

An at home business site gives someone a huge advantage. Provided it's optimized correctly and marketed effectively, online real estate works 24/7 and is attracting interest not just locally, but worldwide. As opposed to someone working their business offline, they are really limited by distance and the bulk of the leads they go after will be within a defined area.

With an online presence, you can literally attract prospects into your business from any part of the world. But it's not just a matter of slapping up a website and letting it do it's magic. Too many network marketers are getting this wrong and treat their sites as a means for blasting out loud sales messages.

Let's take a look at the correct way to utlize your site so you put in effect both of the most important aspects of prospecting - attraction marketing and pre-selling.

1. Your site must be used to promote useful take away content for the visitor. In other words, articles on your chosen network marketing niche whether it be nutrition or technology. Provide articles or content that educate the reader.

2. Provide something of value to the visitor which doesn't cost them anything. A free report offering tips and training. For example, you could put together a small report about the dangers of not taking nutrition. Mention problems and then provide a possible solution. Make sure to include links to valuable resources such and where they can get more information.

3. You will want to create a leads capture area and this can be easily done by using the free report in conjunction with it. People provide their email address for the report.

4. Once you start building a list you can then start providing them with more valuable information but be careful not to use it as an opportunity to bombard them with sales messages.

5. Every time you update your at home business site you can alert your list that you've posted new content. This is a great way to stay in touch with them and you are creating a good bond with them.

6. The main aim of using this strategy is to create trust with your prospect. Sales messages create resistance on your prospect's part. By educating and training them instead, you break down these barriers and become more and more important in their eyes eventually leading to business sign ups. ]]></description>

<title>5 Ways To Improve Your At Home Business Marketing And Attract More Prospects</title>

<description><![CDATA[ One of the vital aspects of growing a home business is marketing. Too many overlook this and the truth is, if you are not promoting, you're dead in the water.

Network marketers need a steady flow of prospects to survive and finding an at home business marketing solution is key to their survival. It doesn't need to be complicated. The best and most cost effective way of promoting is article marketing.

Articles are priceless as a promotion tool for your business. Did you know unlike a paid campaign which ends once you stop paying articles continue marketing for you long after you've written them. We call them our own team of salesmen which keep flying the banner for us years after being published.

If you think you cannot write then think again. In this article, we outline some writing tips to help boost your at home business marketing efforts. 

1. Create a steady and consistent schedule. Unless you are producing a consistent stream of content promoting your business then you'll get haphazard results. We suggest you produce at least ten articles a month for your network marketing business.

2. Make a commitment to write on one or two particular days a week. Writing ten articles a month is not a massive task. It's just over two per week. Make one day a week your writing day. If you produce ten pieces a month then that will give you 120 articles for the year all doing one thing, promoting you and your MLM business.

3. Set yourself a challenge each time you sit down to write. That is, to create some urgency, give yourself a set amount of time to write the article. For example, if you think you can produce it in 30 minutes then challenge yourself to create it in that time. It's amazing how efficient your brain becomes when it is given a time and end goal to meet.

4. Create a list of topics ahead of time you're going to write about. That is, produce a list of keywords around your business. When you've done this, then come up with at least two secondary keywords for each main word. Knowing what you're going to write about ahead of time simply cuts out any chance of wasting time and procrastination.

5. Organize someone to become you're accountability mentor. This is a great process and will have a big impact on your at home business marketing efforts. It works simply by stating your goals for any given day or month to someone and then checking in with them to declare your work. Your accountability partner needs to be someone you don't like letting down; even someone you fear a little as this can really kick your urgency mode into high gear. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ One of the stages of a break up many don't pay much attention to is actually getting back together. In other words, after getting dumped, working hard to win back your ex, making the perfect apology and then being accepted back into the relationship.

It's the last of these which many ultimately fail at and that's maintaining harmony once you have got back together. There are several reasons for this but the most common is people just fall back into old habits after getting comfortable again.

In this article, we'll give you some strong tips in keeping your relationship together after being accepted back by your ex. Just think about this, after spending a lot of time and effort in winning back the person you love, you will have had to make some changes to your habits and routine but don't think this just stops once your back together. This is one of the stages of a break up you should not ignore.

Your ex has taken you back because they see a change in you. The reason you were dumped in the first place may may have been due to your partner simply getting bored with your habits and routine. Here are some of the things you could try to solidify the relationship this time around.

1. Put fun back into your relationship. Remember when you first met. You more than likely spent a lot of time together having having fun. Re-introduce this back into your relationship.

2. While being apart, you may have improved your grooming techniques and the way you dress. Be careful not to abandon these simply because you think the job is done when you get back together.

3. During the reconciliation period, you would have gone out on regular dates again. This ties in with the fun aspect but when you're re-united, make at least one night a week a date night.

4. Add surprises to your relationship. For example, leave love notes for your partner, send her flowers occasionally or buy him tickets to a football game. Buy them a gift occasionally without there having to be an occasion to do it.

5. Make sure you find up to an hour with each other every day. Really be genuine in wanting to know how your partner's day was and share your experiences as well.

6. In stages of a break up, the split is usually caused following constant arguing over issues. In your reconciliation phase, avoid dredging up any of these old issues. You've both made a fresh start with fresh ideas and plans. Leave the past where it belongs - in the past. ]]></description>

<title>Lasik Eye Surgery Risk Factors You Need To Know</title>
<link>http://www.populate.net/Health/lasik-eye-surgery-risk-factors-you-need-to-know.html</link>

<pubDate>Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ All surgeries have benefits as well as risks. There is always the possibility of Lasik eye surgery affecting your vision. You should thus consider the risks it carries and then take your decision.

You must make an informed decision. And thus you must learn the facts about Lasik eye surgery. You must know how the eye works and learn the intricate details about the cornea. Once you know about all this you should take time to find a good eye surgeon for yourself. One of the biggest measures you can take to reduce the risks is to appoint a talented and practiced surgeon as your surgery will be hugely dependent on who does it.

What is Lasik? Basically, it's an acronym for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a laser eye surgery procedure that can permanently correct your vision. The operation has best results in patients who suffer the following conditions: from moderate to high degrees or myopia (nearsightedness), low to moderate conditions of hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism associated with myopia, and thick corneas.

People with normal vision can perceive objects lucidly, for the lights and shadows that play on and around the object are brought to a focal point by the cornea and the lens of the eye. Ideally, the curvature of the cornea should evenly match its length. However, people with astigmatism, myopia, or hyperopia, have irregularly structured corneas. Thus the objects appear hazy or disfigured.

Lasik targets to change the shape of the corneas by an accurate removal of the corneal tissue. This removal corrects the eye focusing ability. So what are the risks?
1. The most conspicuous risk is that you might totally lose your eyesight. This could happen if your diagnosis had been wrong or the operation should not have been performed because of some other serious medical affliction. You could be pregnant, have cataracts, rheumatism, diabetes, glaucoma, lupus, etc. Lasik eye surgery must not be performed under such circumstances.

2. Another grave danger is that you will lose perception, insight or acuteness of vision because you had large pupils and very poor eye sight in the first place.

3. If you have dry ear syndrome it could be made with surgery. Again, it's vital you discuss this with your surgeon before you agree to have any surgical work performed.

4. You might also permanently have hazy vision, reduced contrast, or see blurry ghost-like shapes that do not exist. In many cases, these are temporary and will be pointed out as risks by your surgeon. ]]></description>
