Using Adsense To Fund Network Marketing Prospecting
One of the problems facing network marketers trying to build their downline is the out of pocket expenses associated with advertising. Whether you’re buying leads for telephone and email contact, using PPC advertising, ad co-ops, solo ezine ads, or any other method of lead generation, the associated costs can quickly add up.
This can become a problem for many distributors who were attracted to the idea of setting up a home business with low costs. This is true of both multi-level affiliate programs, and network marketing.
Both of these types of programs can create significant residual income, but they take time to develop, and are certainly not a quick fix. But this dilemma, of finding a way to create income in the short to medium term, gave rise to the concept of the ‘funded proposal’.
Funded proposals essentially market industry related information at a relatively low cost, which acts to both generate leads, and provide an income whilst doing so. The potential customer base is wider, as many people who won’t be interested in a given opportunity or business model might be interested in more generic information.
Funded proposals also act to ‘qualify’ people, by charging a small payment for services. This eliminates ‘freebie’ seekers, or those with insufficient funds who really aren’t in a position to set up a home business, even a low cost, internet based one.
They typically lead with a sales style page aimed at generating opt-in email addresses. These are then marketed to with the use of an autoresponder sequence. Sometimes reports are actually mailed out in the post also. Those using the system are generally give a replicated website that they can use to drive traffic to. The list they develop is one they own.
These systems do have an advantage in that they are more easily duplicated by the downline. Special skills aren’t required to set up websites, autoresponders, write compelling sales letters, or persuasive autoresponder emails. The main thing the downline has to do is learn to drive traffic to their site.
Whilst these types of systems are very useful, there is an often overlooked method to fund prospecting – and that is through using contextual advertising like adsense. A website is needed, but blogs are a perfectly legitimate and simple way to post optimized articles, with contextual ads on them. The blog could even link to a funded proposal page, acting as a traffic funnel to it, and monetizing the traffic that is just looking for information, but doesn’t like the offer available.
Blogs are very easy to set up, and are a great training ground for traffic generation. There are a lot of good blog directories that are a source of established backlinks. And blogs can be themed on a niche associated with your home business proposal. You can even use article marketing to promote your blog.
Any type of site that provides good information is a way to build trust and credibility with your visitors and prosepcts. That is the basis of any good relationship!

Moms In Network Marketing – Can We Do It All?
Mom, does your day look something like this:
_ Bring the baby to playgroup
_ Wash dishes
_ Respond to emails
_ Play outside
_ Make phone calls to leads
_ Make dinner
__ ETC!!
There’s no doubt about it that moms are busy! So why the heck would a mom who’s already overbooked add more to her plate by starting a business in network marketing?
Over and over again I hear moms saying they don’t want to put their children in daycare and that they do want something that is flexible to their needs. A good network marketing company can offer that, a good job most times can’t.
Over 80% of the people in the Network Marketing industry are women, and a large percentage are mothers.
How do they do it?
It’s not easy to be a mom running a business but it can be done and it’s definitely worth it! Here are some tips to keep your business (and you mom) running smoothly:
Tip #1: Take Care of Yourself
You need to take good care of yourself in order to run a smooth household and business. Get enough rest, eat well, get outdoors! These things are easy to forget when we get really busy.
Tip #2: Divide and Conquer
When there is no set time for anything and everything needs to be done, we tend to “save the worst for last”. This means the last may likely never get done. Divide up your work and have a plan, and do the worst first to get it out of the way!
Tip #3: Involve The Family
If you have kids get them involved in your business. Craft shows and fairs are great places to really let them see what you do and give them a chance to really help out as well. And don’t forget hubby! Let him know what’s going on in your business.
Tip #4: Take a Break
When things feel a bit too hectic, give yourself permission to take a break! When you come back to what you were doing with a fresh mind it often will be the boost you needed to get it finished.
Tip#5: Get Help
You don’t have to do it alone. If you need help ask for it. There are ways to outsource your work if you are getting too busy (and making money!) so keep in mind that’s always an option.
Yes, we’re moms, and we’re business women, but we’re also women too. Don’t forget to give yourself time to breathe, your business and your family will be the better for it!

Is Your Understanding Of Network Marketing Outdated?
I knew things in our industry had changed, but I didn’t realize just HOW MUCH they had changed until recently. Now we all know nothing stays the same, and progress is always welcome in network marketing, but I don’t think many of us are truly aware of the vast differences we’ve seen technology bring in just the past few years.
Ten years ago–even five years ago–a successful couple or individual working in Networking limited themselves to a single program. Why? Because working direct sales or MLM took a TON of work.
Mike and Rita were about the best Networking team around a few years ago. They held weekly meetings at the public library and held even more meetings at their home. If you made any contact whatsoever with Mike and Rita, they would keep Your phone and fax warm for days until you finally signed up on their program.
Not only that, but a BIG part of Mike and Rita’s success was due to their non-stop mailing of sales letters and postcards. Rita spent many a night posting their prospecting ads on Internet sites and newsgroups.
More than once they got kicked off of AOL and other ISP’s for being too aggressive when contacting prospects — a new no-no in the online age.
I supposed all the work Mike and Rita did was worth it, but at what cost? They worked night and day for years. And even then, I don’t think they were pulling in more than a few thousand dollars a month.
Now let’s fast forward to today. Mark and Sandra are the talk of the neighborhood. They live in a big expensive house and drive a luxury car. Most people can’t figure out how Mark and Sandra afford it. They’re seen at home all day and go on lengthy vacations five or six times a year.
That part makes me smile, because I KNOW what Mark and Sandra do. They’re working in direct sales and MLM from home. Only there is a key difference in what they’re doing from what Mike and Rita were doing a few years ago.
Mark and Sandra use completely automated online systems to find huge numbers of leads, then filter through the leads to find only the best. Only then do Mark and Sandra start talking to their leads.
You see, Mark and Sandra don’t spend their days prospecting. They let the technology do all that prospecting and cold calling for them. The only time Mark and Sandra talk on the phone or answer an email is when a very hot prospect calls them to place an order.
And here’s the good part: Because the technology takes so much of the work out of direct sales, Mark and Sandra are able to work several very successful networking businesses. Rather than earning a few thousand dollars a month, they’re bringing in TENS OF THOUSANDS.
Plus, with all that automation (and help from their upline organization) Mark and Sandra are able to take off and travel the world just about anytime they like.
Now that’s progress!
