			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dead downlines don&#8217;t lie.  That was the title of an article or report I saw on the internet the other day.  It&#8217;s funny but true.</p>
<p>And sadly, if you have been in MLM Network Marketing for any length of time, you know what a dead downline is.</p>
<p>Now I don&#8217;t know what that article or report was about, but here is what I mean by it.  Dead downlines don&#8217;t lie, and what they don&#8217;t lie about is why they quit, why they failed.  It is evident and clear.</p>
<p>So what is it you ask?  How can you prevent it?  Those are questions every network marketer wants to know because that is the only reason hy you yourself have not made it big in MLM.</p>
<p>Because if your downline is dead, if it is not growing, guess what else isn&#8217;t growing?  Your income.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s solve that problem today, here and now.</p>
<p>Why do they quit?  Why would you quit?  Why would anyone quit such a lucrative business model?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you right now.  There are 2 reasons, and only 2 reasons.  They are they run out of money or they run out of leads.</p>
<p>Of course, they could just decide they don&#8217;t want to do it anymore, for that, nobody has a solution.</p>
<p>So I want to focus on what does have solutions.  No money and no leads.  It&#8217;s simple yet profound.</p>
<p>Think about it.  If you could never run out of money to advertise your MLM business, why would you quit?  If you never ran out of quality leads to present your business opportunity to, why would you quit?</p>
<p>If you really analyze it, that is why your downline quit and left, because if they had a way to always have money for their business, or always have leads to talk to, there would be no reason to quit such a lucrative business model.</p>
<p>Solve those 2 problems and you have the keys to financial freedom.  So how do you solve it?  Provide them a business model, a system if you will, that always provides money and quality leads.</p>
<p>Stop providing the old tired and broke-making ways of buying generic low quality expensive leads.  They will reach the tipping point of no more money, or money that they don&#8217;t want to spend on something that doesn&#8217;t work anymore.</p>
<p>Or stop having them do the old ways of bugging friends and family or hitting people up at Barnes and Noble.  Those aren&#8217;t leads.  That is a sure cause of failure.</p>
<p>What business model can you provide them?  You need to set up a funded proposal system for them.</p>
<p>What is a funded proposal system?  Basically it is going to be your sales funnel that you are going to use to generate leads for your business.</p>
<p>How it works is you advertise an inexpensive, high quality information product that solves a common problem or problems of your industry.  Advertise this product to them, they will be more than willing to buy.</p>
<p>Notice, I mentioned, make sure it is an information product for our industry.  In other words, you can&#8217;t sell them a generic how to that has nothing to do with your industry.  You have to make sure it is part of your industry because by doing that, you will generate a targeted prospect.</p>
<p>After your prospect buys this information product, you have now produced a high quality targeted lead for your MLM business.</p>
<p>What you have accomplished is solved the 2 problems.  You have produced money on the front end.  Produced a quality targeted lead in the process.  And now, you have that person who is a solid prospect for your business.</p>
<p>Think about it if the recruiting and prospecting part of your downlines business makes your dowline money, whether or not that person they are prospecting joins, would your downline ever stop prospecting?  Would they ever quit?</p>
<p>If the recruiting process produces high quality targeted leads who they can prospect for their business and it doesn&#8217;t cost them a thing, would they run out of leads?  Would they have any reason to quit?</p>
<p>Build a system or use a system already in place that uses these principles and you have the keys to building a massive dowline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so hopefully going through my site, you have a good idea of what you need to do to start making money online in your own home based business.</p>
<p>What I wanted to do here is basically summarize the key points of my training site by sharing with you the exact steps you need to make it all come together.</p>
<p>In order to create and generate a recruiting cash machine that not only makes money for yourself, but also for the team you are going to be putting together in your organization, you need to start with the end in mind.</p>
<p>What is the end?  We want to create a duplicatable system that accomplishes the goal of getting people to join you in your MLM Network Marketing business.</p>
<p>I call it duplicatable because to generate the huge incomes and huge downlines that we all desire in network marketing, we are going to need people who we bring into our business who can do what we do.  In other words, we need to have a system that a person who  is not a super salesman, nor wants to be, could be as much of a success as you.</p>
<p>Remember my story of how I enjoyed extreme success in my first MLM by using the methods of cold calling, but everybody I brought in, no matter how hard I tried to teach them, could not do what I was doing.  All the money was being made by my efforts and unfortunately off of the backs of people who were failing in my business.  I did not want to earn money that way.  Hence, the need to create something easily followed and duplicated by your future team members.</p>
<p>So, back to the end in mind, our duplicatable system that gets people to join our business, what do we need to do?  What do we need to put this all together?</p>
<p>Well first off, we need to know what this system is going to be based off of.  As I hopefully have laid out to you in my lessons, our system needs to not be based off of our products or opportunity.  In this industry, we have what is called market saturation.  Everybody competing with everybody trying to say my product is better, my opportunity is better, my comp plan is better, my whatever is better.</p>
<p>If we are not to get drowned in this sea of &#8220;me&#8221; too products and opportunities and actually produce leads, recruits, and money we need to base our system off of what I already explained is called the funded proposal system.  But not just any funded proposal system, but a funded proposal system using the powerful advertising medium called Direct Response Marketing.</p>
<p>So since it is based off of direct response marketing, our funded proposal system is going to identify our target market, understand their needs and problems, tailor a sales message that speaks to that problem, and offers a solution in the form of an information product which we sell to them and make money in the process.</p>
<p>So rather than approach our prospect with a &#8220;me&#8221; too product or opportunity, something they don&#8217;t want, no, we approach them with a solution to a problem, something they do want.  We generate a highly qualified lead and make money in the process, a funded proposal.</p>
<p>This funded proposal via an information product, makes us money, thereby paying for our advertising and prospecting, and if done correctly, will actually be a source of profit.</p>
<p>Now that we have established a relationship and trust of our prospect, we can now recruit them about our business opportunity because they are now more willing to hear what we have to say.</p>
<p>Secondly, now that we know what our system will look like and what it will do and accomplish, we need to put it together.</p>
<p>We could do that one of two ways.  First we could create the information product ourselves and sell it as our funded proposal.  Or we could sell an information product that was created by somebody else and get paid on the sales of that product.</p>
<p>Well, if our end goal in mind is to have a system that gets people to join and also allows that person who joins to become successful as well; when we are first getting started, the second option is the best.  Because most people will not be able to create an information product themselves when they are starting.</p>
<p>The benefits of using somebody else&#8217;s funded proposal system are numerous.  Here are some:</p>
<ul>
<li>You don&#8217;t have to create the product yourself, which is not duplicatable in the beginning.</li>
<li>By using somebody else&#8217;s system, you don&#8217;t have to create the killer sales page that is needed to make the sales, already done for you.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t have to worry about setting up your own merchant account to accept sales.  It is part of the system.</li>
<li>You will have a ready made system that you can plug your new team members into.</li>
<li>Piggyback off of the success of others, especially when you are just getting started, because you need some credibility whether it is yours or somebody else&#8217;s, you need it.</li>
<li>and many more&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Final step, now that we have a website and funded proposal system in place, we need to do the all important thing of getting traffic to our sites.  A great website that can sell ice to an eskimo is worthless if nobody sees it.  With the millions of websites on the internet, just because you put up your website, doesn&#8217;t guarantee that people will see it.  You need to know how to get traffic to that site.  And as in anything, the larger the number of people you can get to see it, the greater the results.</p>
<p>So how do you generate traffic?  Many ways.  Some free ways are article writing, posting in forums, commenting on other people&#8217;s blogs, social sites like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and Squidoo.  Not to mention you also could set up free blogs on Wordpress or Blogger.com.</p>
<p>Some paid ways are Google Pay Per Click, PPC Advertising, eZine advertising, banner ads, email marketing.</p>
<p>If you are new to internet marketing, some of these terms could seem Greek, but they are easily learnable.  If you want a shortcut to learning all these traffic methods, and not only a how to information, but also process maps that take you step by step on how to use each method, then you need to get Stephen Pierce&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dtalpha.com/435-2-3-6.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Instant Traffic Expert</span></a>.  Check it out.  You won&#8217;t be disappointed.</p>
<p>So in summary, here are the steps to making money online with your MLM:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a funded proposal system that can be used by you and your downline.  By doing this you will create duplication because people need a system when they get started.  People fail, systems work.</li>
<li>If you can&#8217;t or don&#8217;t want to create a funded proposal system, you can piggyback off of the success of others and use one already currently in place.</li>
<li>Generate Traffic.  Without traffic, nothing gets sold.</li>
<li>Now that you have traffic, you will start to make leads and make sales.  You will now have prospects calling you wanting to join you in whatever you are doing.</li>
</ol>
<p>Do these steps for your MLM Home Based Business and you will create a recruiting machine making you hand over fist.</p>
