I remembered the words of one renowned author …………………“The poorest person on Earth is a man without dreams and the most frustrated person on earth is a one whose dreams fail to materialize” (Rober Schuller.”A life that fails to fulfill its potential is a tragedy” so declared Dr.Myles Munroe, a world prominent preacher and a great motivational speaker. Who also said that “The greatest tragedy in life is not Death but LIFE itself…. Life without a purpose.”
And you know what? The richest place on the planet Earth is neither the Gold mines of South Africa, nor the Oil wells of the Arabian Gulf but it’s in the graveyard…..where all the ‘never exploited potential’ lies buried.
In motivating others not to give up someone once said,
”He who loses money loses much…..
He who loses a friend loses more…..
But He who loses faith loses all.”
Have faith in God, have faith in your friends and last but not least…….have faith in yourself and you’ll go far. Remember the old saying “Whether you believe you can or believe you can’t, you’re probably right”. I was told of a gentleman who had an un-usual habit of talking to himself. One day someone asked him why he loved talking to himself. The gentleman said, “I do it for 2 reasons- one I like talking to a smart guy and two- I like listening to a smart guy talk”. Do not cast away your confidence because it has a great recompense. Dear friend keep talking to yourself and keep telling yourself that you the best that God created. Remember “you’re fearfully and wonderfully made!"
Remember Just because you made a mistake in the past, does necessarily mean that you a mistake yourself. God created you an original, don’t die a photocopy. The world is like a stage and we are all actors… Never change your originality for the sake of others, because no one can play your role in the cast better than you. So be yourself, because whatever you are, YOU are the best. Know that the most important person in the world to you is YOU. Whatever you learn, whatever you see, whatever you do is important to YOU because it concerns YOU!
There’s saying that says “God gives every bird its food, but does not throw it into its nest.” Well, In Africa, a gazelle wakes up every morning knowing too well that it has to run faster than the fasted Lion or else it will not survive; On the other hand, the Lion wakes up in the morning knowing too well that it has to run faster than the slowest gazelle or else it will starve to death. He who wins the race after the end of it all is carries the day. Whether you are a Gazelle or a Lion, for heavens sake keep running. Success is failure turned inside out! Every one of us was born without anything and because you refused to quit you are already a WINNER (in your own right). Someone once said “a winner is a loser who refuses to quit”, because when you quit, you’re already a loser. Ever heard of the story of four lepers who sat somewhere starving until one of them suggested “let’s go to enemy camp ‘cause if we stay here, we’ll starve to death, if we go to the enemy camp they might kill us or let us live”. When they reached the enemy’s camp they found that the enemy had fled thinking that a ‘great army was coming after them’. They all fled leaving behind lots of foodstuffs and other goodies and the rest is History!
Remember my friend; defeat is not failure until you stop trying. Keep on keeping on. Dr. Martin Luther King said “If you can’t fly, ran if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then craw, but whatever you do keep on moving” Do have a ‘moving’ Week!

Friendship and Business !
There’s this old adage that says “Never mix friendship with Business” but in life sometimes, you can’t do without both. Ever heard of the phrase that ‘two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement’?” That’s why today I want to talk about friends, friendship and Business! What a topic?
In Your life and of course in Your Business life, many people will walk into your life but only the true friends will leave footprints in your heart. Meeting with others is enjoyment and you find that learning about their successes, struggles and mistakes helps you to understand yourself better. They say “we learn through mistakes” but I say to you “Better Learn from other peoples mistakes because you can’t live long enough to make all of them yourself”
(On a light note, I received this one from a friend “Never make the same mistake twice, There are so many new ones, Try a different one each day” Well that’s what I call positive attitude)
Learning to handle criticism (especially from your friends) is also very important. Sometimes through the eyes of others, you are able to see the back of your own head! An ordinary friend is a one who hates it when you call after he has gone to bed but a true friend will ask you why you took so long to call!
You probably ask yourself, if it’s practically possible to have only friends in your life. This is the thing that stops many people in their tracks, including me. But then come to think of it, those who compete with you are not necessarily enemies. Know What? When your competition come Chasing after you, they are making you tone your up your ‘muscles’ so that you keep running without getting weary. When you run with the ‘END’ in mind who cares about the hurdles? You just keep jumping over them all the while, focusing on the Prize. As I watch Kenyan Athletes go for the Gold in the marathons, I imagine that Great athletes are not made in the track fields... they are made in the mind first then the track field. You must have an attitude of a winner. Run your ‘race’ of life with the “END” in mind.
I received this from another friend and I quote: - “When a Snake is alive, Snake eat Ants. When Snake is dead, Ants eat Snake. Time can turn at any time.” Very interesting indeed! Lesson? Even your enemy can be of use at times. Don't neglect anyone in your life........ ...God knows why they are there.
Back to friendships again...the notion that business relationships can become friendships (or vice versa) is not new in our world today. It is not uncommon for instance to hear Marketers especially after a successful Business deal, request for business referrals. All they are eying are your close friends, the like-minded individuals. The Power of referral marketing is immense because Studies show that it is one of the fastest tools to reach the end user.
Forming friendship NetWorks are essential in developing expanding your business horizons especially where they are aimed at growing businesses and participating in Networking events. They help members to realise their full Business potential. Friendship Networks also provide valuable network of contacts and encourages, trade, information sharing and support between Members. They also provide access to seminars and workshops for professional and personal development as well as Inspire and encourage members to develop professionally and drive them forward for success in business. Others advantages include:-
- Encouraging and support of new Enterprises by providing support to those looking to set up business of their own.
- Provide a central hub for like-minded individuals to share information, ideas and knowledge and develop friendships in a team Spirit.
- They also raise the awareness of local talents and resources that they have to offer.
I leave you with these parting shots:-
"Friend’s you and me…...
You brought another friend…..
And then there were three…..
We started our group …..
Our circle of friends…..
And like that circle…..
There’s no beginning or end…..
True friends are like “Jewels"...Pecious yet rare”.
Have a friendly business week!

HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS IN LIFE!
What is happiness? Can money and material wealth bring more happiness in our lives? Is there a formula or some mix of love, wealth, work, relationship and psychological adoption for a happy life? These are some of the questions peolple have been asking themselves in trying to answer that age old question; what is happiness? The purpose of life and the motion of life is always moving towards happiness. In every sphere of our life, everything we do be it work, Business, family, relationships, religion (all the promises of afterlife).etc, revolve around man’s insatiable and unquenchable desire to be bring happiness and to lead a happy life, What makes us happy, the pursuit of happiness, and how we can lead more fulfilling, satisfying lives. As evidence has shown, happy person is not one in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Have a positive attitude
One of the best acknowledged attributes to happiness is a positive attitude. Evidently, if you have a positive attitude, you'll find life easier than if you were miserable. Positive thinking improves the immune system and may even lead to longer life! This sounds great in theory, but the difficult part is how to put that into practice. In our world today which has become largely full of hustles and bustles of life, there’s clearly a need to start looking at our happiness and positive thinking in a different way. Though we will more often come across mountains of challenges in our day to day life, having a positive attitude will not necessarily make the mountain lower, but certainly makes the climbing easier. By developing a positive attitude, we are taking charge of your own ability to be happy by so doing; we will generally have a much healthier state of mind. How we react to issues is purely a question of attitude. I once listened to one time Vice chancellor of Nairobi University, Prof. Phillip Mbithi say that “The success of any institution is not in its lack of problems bur rather how best you handle those problems”
Surround your self with positive thinking people in your life and you’ll be happy. Having that ‘me time’ once in a while is good but studies show that happier people surround themselves with not only friends and family but also supportive relationships as well. When you surround yourself with inspired people, you become much like them. In his book entitled “Be inspired before you expire,” (Pepe Minambo) - motivational Speaker and Author, says that positive minded people are essentially inspired people. You be must be inspired to inspire others because no one can give what he does not have. If you’re not inspired, you are expired. “There’s nobody as dangerous as an expired person. Just like an expired drug in a drug store, so is an expired person. Keep off expired minds” (Pepe Minambo). Positive minded people are more inspired and by linking ourselves with inspired people, we are in essence tapping on their inspired way of thinking and doing things which lead to ourselves being inspired as well. According to the words of Henry Ford, “My best friend is the one who brings out the best out of me”. Surround yourself with inspired people and you are likely to be happier than ever before.
Positive attitude helps us to cope more easily with the daily hustles of life. It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worry and negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes into your life, and makes them happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of life be it family, social or carrier or business. Some of the benefits of a positive attitude include helping one in achieving goals and attaining success. Success is achieved faster and easier in an optimistic situation. Happiness generates a general wellbeing and invigorates both the body and the mind.
Others include greater inner power and strength. The ability to inspire and motivate yourself as well as others means fewer difficulties encountered along the way and the ability to surmount any difficulty. Positive attitude also diffuses stressful situations, and when the brain relaxes it is more creative and better at problem solving. When you smile at life, Life smiles back at you. Negative attitude says: you cannot achieve success. Positive attitude says: You can achieve success… (Remember President Obama’s campaign slogan “Yes We Can!”)
If you have been exhibiting a negative attitude and expecting failure, difficulties, and general lack of happiness, it is now the time to change the way you think. It is time to get rid of those negative thoughts. There’s a common saying that says that “a pessimist sees danger in every opportunity but an optimist sees opportunity in every danger”. Become optimistic and expect the best to happen, you’ll be a happier lot!

Network Marketing and the wellness industry
Network Marketing also known as Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) or Referral Marketing has been around since the early part of the last century, but for many people, it is still unfamiliar territory. It is a very good way of starting a profitable, part time or full-time business with little investment. It is also a good method of starting a second or part-time business to run alongside your existing business, career or lifestyle.In most cases it involves products or services produced and supplied by a 'mother' company being passed on to the final consumer directly without going through the traditional intermediaries’ (Agents, distributors, wholesalers, retailers etc) thereby occasioning the company substantial revenue savings sometimes amounting up to 60-70%. These savings are now passed to independent distributors and their down lines as bonuses.
The independent distributor takes on the responsibilities of buying products either for sell or for personal use and introducing other people to the company to do the same. One gets paid commission or bonuses based on your personal business volume of products / services generated by yourself and a smaller commission on the products / services by the people you have introduced to the company. In addition to this, you often get a percentage commission based on the sales volume of the people who- 'the people you introduced'- introduced... and so on...and so on…..
Amway, an America company is believed to be the first company to adopt Network marketing to market its nutritional products way back in 1945. Today many more have come in lately. Companies like Microsoft, Gillette, Colgate-Palmolive, Rexall, Goodyear, IBM, and Firestone. Others include G.M, Avon, Herbalife, Watkins Products, GNLD, SwissGarde, Tiens (Pronounced Tianshi) Tiens, a multinational company, began in 1995 in Beijing China. It utilizes Network marketing system to market its wide variety of products ranging from multi vitamin and mineral supplements, beauty products as well as fitness machines such as the blood circulatory massager. The list of companies keep on growing daily as more companies keep on joining in this revolutionary business concept . One may ask why so many companies utilizing network marketing as their chosen method of marketing? Simply put, Network marketing is more efficient and the fastest way to reach the end user!
You and your health!
The World health organization estimates that about 70% of the world population is un-healthy.The current emphasis is strongly on healthy habit and on the need to develop a healthy lifestyle - and rightly so. According to the W.H.O definition, optimum health covers beyond just the mere absence of sickness and pain in the body. Health is defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as being:"a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (WHO, 1948)
The concept behind supplementing the diet in seemingly healthy population is that, low levels of vitamins and vital minerals coupled with high levels of toxicity the environment are in themselves a hindrance to achieving optimum health। Some of the seemingly healthy people today could be potential visitors to the Doctor tomorrow. A high potency vitamin and mineral supplement is therefore strongly recommended if one is to stay in this optimum health situation. Many food and (Vitamin and mineral) supplements provide valuable nutrition which may be lacking in our diet today. Also available from the wellness industry today is a wide range of cleansers or detoxifiers that clear our bodies of toxic wastes from the today’s’ highly polluted environment. Herbal tonics have the ability of toning up the body or specific organs structures. Our bodies also require regular excises. Here, exercise machines as well as the blood circulatory massager comes in handy especially for those busy executives who have little or no time at all for the gym.
MLM companies that specialize in the wellness products in essence do provide you with two vital keys in life; health and wealth! They provide a business development opportunity for individuals to create a business of their own with minimal capital outlay, a perfect business that will provide you with financial security and freedom that you need. MLM BUSINESS in essence offers everyone, the chance to become a user and sponsor as well as a distributor, an excellent opportunity and a sure way to health and honest wealth. Many of these products are recipients of a host of international awards, and members are more than adequately rewarded with sound health and exponential residual income.
Sayings of the wise!

Beware of Pyramid schemes!
You may have heard of them and if not you might sooner or later receive a message offering you a business opportunity which is a Pyramid Scheme. You will be offered the chance of making a huge amount of money, and the method is detailed in an explanation. From a casual look, it may seem plausible and quite a brilliant idea. Well, there are many ways of making a fortune, but there is a problem with pyramid schemes and I will explain why, after I've explained what a pyramid scheme is.
WHAT IS A PYRAMID SCHEME?
An illegal business that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered. You have to pay a small sum to someone first. This is sometimes connected with a deal involving signing up with some kind of money mailing company or sometimes it's a matter of sending cash. You pay the money to Person1 on the list. The list has three (or more) people on it, and then you move everyone along the list up by one step, put your own name on the list, and wait for the money to come rolling in. The letter will tell you that this is a sure way for everyone to make a fortune, and the explanation seems convincing. After all, if you have been convinced by it and sent the money, others will, so sooner or later an increasingly large number of people will be paying YOU money. Sounds so brilliant idea, eh? Then comes the questions..then WHAT'S WRONG WITH PYRAMID SCHEMES?
Well, let's not knock off an idea just because it promises to make a fortune. That would be ignorant, as there ARE many ways to make a fortune, some of which have not been discovered bu then It pays to not be too skeptical also. With pyramid schemes, SOME people WILL make a fortune..majority wont, so, what's wrong with these schemes and why should you avoid them? The problem is the mathematics, which can be explained logically and the problem exposed. You don't need Advanced Level Exam mathematics to see this, but O-level helps. Part of the trouble is that the proponents of pyramid schemes will try to distract you from the mathematical fault. Here, as clearly as can be explained, is the fault: For every person in the scheme who makes money, a preset number (n) will have to pay out money. For any level of the scheme, an ever-increasing next-level will be required. So, even though YOU might make money, sooner or later a lot of people will be sold a deal which will LOSE MONEY. So, some will make money, but others will lose....majority of them.
If this sounds too complex to understand, a simpler explanation will do: As no money is being actually generated and it's just being moved about, there is no real wealth to be made, at least not in the long term, by everyone. So, to sum it up, although a few people may get rich, the chances are it won't be you. Furthermore, whether you make money or not, a very large number of other people will lose money. It's a mathematical fact about the system.
The reason why pyramid schemes fool a lot of people into paying money into them is because, like the Impossible Triangle, it looks convincing from any angle. Most people aren't clever enough to figure out the whole picture and see the fundamental fault in it.
Pyramids schemes are illegal in some countries and not in some other countries, but this is largely irrelevant. People need to be wary of the hazards and should not jus sit back and wait to be protected by law against folly.
Pyramid schemes are sometimes disguised as MLM / Multi-Level Marketing, but the question one should ask him/herself is whether there’s a real product being sold and if not, then this is obviously a pyramid scheme.
Pyramid schemes now come in so many forms that they may be difficult to recognize immediately. However, they all share one overriding characteristic. They promise consumers or investors large profits based primarily on recruiting others to join their program, not based on profits from any real investment or real sale of goods and services to the public.
A Ponzi scheme is closely related to a pyramid because it revolves around continuous recruiting, but in a Ponzi scheme the promoter generally has no product to sell and pays no commission to investors who recruit new "members." Instead, the promoter collects payments from a stream of people, promising them all the same high rate of return on a short-term investment. In the typical Ponzi scheme, there is no real investment opportunity, and the promoter just uses the money from new recruits to pay obligations owed to longer-standing members of the program. In English, there is an expression that nicely summarizes this scheme: It's called "Robbing Peter to pay Paul."
Many of you may be familiar with Ponzi and Pyramid schemes reported in the local and international financial news. Both Ponzi schemes and pyramids are quite seductive because they may be able to deliver a high rate of return to a few early investors for a short period of time. Yet, both pyramid and Ponzi schemes are illegal because they inevitably must collapse. No program can recruit new members forever. Every pyramid or Ponzi scheme collapses because it cannot expand beyond the saturation point of the population. When the scheme collapses, most investors find themselves at the bottom, unable to recoup their losses.
Some people confuse pyramid and Ponzi schemes with legitimate multilevel marketing Businesses. Multilevel marketing programs also known as MLM's, unlike pyramid or Ponzi schemes, MLM's have real products to sell. More importantly, MLM's actually sell their product to members of the general public, without requiring these consumers to pay anything extra or to join the MLM system. MLM's may pay commissions to a long string of distributors, but these commission are paid for real retail sales, not for new recruits.
This is actually the most fundamental difference between a legitimate MLM and an illegal Pyramid scheme and when you know this, you will be able to differentiate the wheat from the chaff because when the deal seems so good...there's a catch somewhere.

More importantly, MLM's actually sell their product to members of the general public, without requiring these consumers to pay anything extra or to join the MLM system. MLM's may pay commissions to a long string of distributors, but these commission are paid for real retail sales, not for new recruits.
This is actually the most fundamental difference between a legitimate MLM and an illegal Pyramid scheme and when you know this, you will be able to differentiate the wheat from the chaff because when the deal seems so good...there's a catch somewhere.

Online shopping Sites-as a Home based Business
A Common Sense approach to Home Business!
When people were asked what they perceived as the most important invention of the last millennium was;
7% of them said the Television,
11% said the telephone,
and overwhelming 80% said the Computer.
Undoubtedly, the computer can be labeled as the ultimate invention of our times. It really improves our life with its varied advantages, one of them being the exceedingly effective e-mail Messaging Service and………yes you guessed right, the E-commerce. The E-commerce is the usual term for the technology that provides people with the possibility to transact business online and with it, one can virtually Buy and sell anything almost any where today. The world has trully become one global village of some sort. We are witnessing transformation that is every bit akin to the industrial revolution.
“We are at the beginning of a new way of working, shopping, playing and communicating”. Newsweek
With recent technological advancements, free international virtual shops can now be used to deliver on a global level, anything almost anywhere in the world through countless online shops. And probably the best part is that you don’t really even need to have a website. The only true condition is that you got to have a computer and an internet connection and bravo, there you are. You only register with the information you want on any of the sites that offer free online shops service and simply complete the straight forward instructions. There are blank spaces for filling in all manner of goods into your online shop.
Shopping at the click of a mouse has become the in thing today. Traditional shopping requires having to endure agonizing traffic jams, lack of parking space and overcrowded supermarkets, long queues at the pay points as well as the frustration of not getting what you want on the shelves. This is not to be there anymore. With the advent of the computers and the internet connections this has eased many a people’s burdens as one can nowadays do shopping at the comfort of your own home at the click of a mouse .This is known as e-commerce. Until recently, this kind of commerce was the reserve of a few big players but today, as more retail sellers are setting up online shopping sites. Zlio.com is one such provider of free online shops sites. In conjunction with Google, the pair has teamed up to provide enthusiastic home business entrepreneurs, with unmatched e-commerce business outfit that is a must try for any serious internet entrepreneur. The item will be delivered straight to the Buyer from the wholesaler. The money you make will be a commission from the wholesale price that the buyer paid. What’s more, whenever you refer somebody to this service, you will be receiving an additional 10% of all their sales for ever. Moreover, by hosting Google Ads on your site, you can earn an extra buck from Google from the clicks your visitors make on those Ads.
The biggest advantage is that you never have to stock the goods yourself so you have no worries about storage space. Payments are usually through Pay pal or Credit card. The way most wholesalers work means you will never be in debt. You are paid by the seller as soon as the purchase is made and the buyer will normally pay the wholesaler through a credit card or other credit method, this means that you will not have to handle the customer’s money but yet be paid by your wholesaler. Other major advantages are that that a wide variety of goods is available 24/7 including Electronics, Clothing, beverages, animal products , pet foods, Health and beauty products Gift items Movies , baby care products to name but a few. It is interesting to note that some products are cheaper online than in traditional supermarkets, since the e-shop does not have to hire floor space. One uses virtual shopping carts which a consumer fills up with virtual goods of choice.
The major risks are just as they would be in any business venture; drop shipping is no different in that respect. There may be few times when you sell a product that the wholesaler currently is out of stock, and this may mean the buyer has to wait a little longer for their goods and this in turn reflects badly on you as a retailer, or when you have to return some of these goods. Most wholesalers are good, do tend to keep you informed about their stock levels but this is ultimately the shop owners’ responsibility.Click here to view my shop!
Whatever the advantages and disadvantage of e- shopping, this mode of trading has landed with a bang and is here to stay!!

Who needs extra cash these days?
Who needs extra cash these days? Yes! You guessed right, the answer is obviously everyone. Everybody desires to gain more income. Sometimes just a spot added to your basic wage won’t hurt anyway. Man was created with an endless list of needs and an incessant quest for quality in terms of goods and services. We all have a certain measure of desire for quality life that money can buy. I know the word ‘quality life’ may generate a huge debate. As a matter of fact, Personally, I don’t think money buys happiness; happiness is a combination of many factors (money being one of them). Money only makes life easier. Seems though that once one makes what you’d consider enough, there’s no rest as he still has an insatiable desire for more. Ironically, even the financial giant (Bill Gates) will consider himself ‘poor’ to still wake up early each morning to expand his ever expanding fortfolio. Bottom line, we all desire to have good lifestyle and maintain it if not make it better.
Need give your lifestyle a boost? Need extra cash? Consider internet home Business as an extra source of income. Nowadays it is simpler than you would ever imagined some years back, that you could set some other person’s business become your source of second or third income stream, by becoming an affiliate. Affiliate selling is when person else pays you a commission or a percentage of what you sell on their behalf. Many e book publishers, for example, will give you even up to 50 percent of the gross from the e books that you sell for them. Other well-known businesses, right from property business, home improvement, to recognition card companies, to cellphone providers, to diet programs and exercising equipment companies etc, all have gone the affiliate way.
Google ad sense and Google ad words for instance allows website owners to create additional steams of income by placing appropriate ads on their sites, and when site visitors click on them, the site owners get paid a commission for the "clicks" made, in a program that has come to be known as ‘Pay Per Click’. This is a revolutionary new method of advertising to reach the end user and, both the merchant and the affiliate gain on a mutual relationship.
In affiliate marketing, Payments vary from one merchant to another thus there is no set amount for the fees paid. It can range from a few cents per click to upwards of $5.00 or more depending on the merchant and the goods up for sale. Many people including myself have not experienced the "high end" yet, but I can assure am working on it. Things are getting better by the day as I keep on identifying high paying Keywords as the more the keywords pay the greater my commissions are. Paramount to your success is your ability to generate lots of high traffic by using high competition keywords. While you might think of it as something hard to do, there's a tool that makes the task elementary, but more about that on another day, so why not keep here!
Summarily, if you have a blog an’ do not know what Google Ad sense is all about, perhaps you have been living in the caves. This is pretty much of a must for you, to help you earn that extra buck. By you not hosting Google Ads on your websites, you're letting money slip through your fingers missing out on a great opportunity to generate passive income as well as denying your visitors an invaluable chance to access useful information in related resources. If you already have your website up and running it will take but a few minutes to monetize it with another stream of income and you should go for it. Google simply displays on your blog or website, simple text and image ads that are targeted on the context of what you are writing about. Google has been a consistent money spinner for many a blog for quite sometime now. Google ad Sense Make Money Campaigns, are great ways to create Multiple Streams of Income an easy way. C’mon go for it and you’ll be happy that you did!

What to look for in a good Home business!
Home Business -Tips!
Is it possible to find legitimate work from home jobs or are they all, to put it simply, scams? Most of us would love the opportunity to earn our incomes from the comfort of our own homes but we are put off because we are afraid of taking the risk of falling for a scam. A recent survey in the U.S found that 80 percent of the workforce wants to own their own business and 40 percent surveyed would like to work at home. But believe me when I say there is legitimate work from home job out there if you know where to look.
What to look for in a good home business!
- Unique and Consumable Products – a business that can continue to support your prospect without fear of competition.
- A Huge and Expanding Market – a business that can support your prospect without fear of a downturn in the economy
- Trends and Timing – a business that will position your prospect at the very front of market trends where the most profit can be made. Perfect timing is essential for the growth of an industry and individual business.
- Many Earning Options – Where owning your own business with quaranteed several income streams as oppossed to single income stream, is the path to real wealth. Most income is temporary and it is easy to determine if your income is temporary - just stop working for 90 days. If your income stops or slows down, then you know you have temporary income.You don't earn anymore if you stop working as a Clerk, a Supervisor or a manager.Corporate security is a myth these days. Anyone who's been downsized, took a cut in pay or had to send out resumes by the dozens knows this as the gospel truth.Most of us only have a single income stream. Consider this, if one Michael Jackson stops singing today, his income still goes on because his albums are still being sold. As an author, as long as your book is still being published or acted as a movie, your paychecks keep flowing.Seems anly a few are this lucky though.
- Leverage People Power - Where teaching people to own their own business beats the pants off of hiring employees. Experience has shown that wealth is hidden to those who must do it by themselves but wealth is exposes itself to those who are patient enough to teach others.
- It's Not a Pyramid scheme – How the person at the bottom has the same earning potential as the one at the very top and why so many Fortune 500 companies are turning to network marketing to sell their products. Research has shown that whilst pyramid schemes can never stand the test of time, MLM business continue to thrive to the foreseeable future without any real threat to the economies where they operate.
- Exponential Rewards – Where your prospect can earn 1,000 times more than his neighbor working the same number of hours a week. “Poverty is when large efforts produce small results. Wealth is when small efforts produce large results”.
The Bottom Line
In MLM, wealth is created through leverage, banking on the efforts of your down lines, in addition to those of your own. This is the theory behind the Customer Referral marketing plan. Businesses these days spend up to 40% of the price of their goods on advertising and marketing expenses. Instead of sending these advertising Dollars to wealthy newspaper, magazines and television stations, several smart businesses have begun to share their money with their best customers. Every time one of their best customers influences someone to buy one of their products, they send this particular customer a cheque - sort of a referral commission.
If AT&T, Microsoft, Gillette, Colgate-Palmolive, Rexall, Goodyear, IBM, Firestone, Avon, Watkins Products, GNLD, SwissGarde, TIENS and many other big companies are willing to rely on this system of doing business, for sure it works. This is why nowadays we see that many smart, intelligent and successful people such as doctors, teachers, executives, best-selling sales people, bankers and people from all walks of life are joining this industry.
Here's your opportunity to show your prospect how to greatly expand their wealth through leverage and have multiple income streams.

7 Smart reasons for an affiliate Program.
An affiliate program is simply an Internet marketing strategy which utilizes the help of an individual who’s not employed by the company but paid by commission in return for his efforts. The actions the individual – or affiliate – is required to perform will depend on the agreement between him and the merchant website. Making Money with Affiliate Programs is very easy and straightforward. All you need to do is simply click on the link on the merchant web site and fill out the online form. The next thing to do is to link your blog or website with the merchant website using an HTML code usually provided free of charge by the merchant website. There are virtually hundreds of internet companies out there willing to offer affiliate marketing partnerships, with varied products up for grabs.
Your affiliate business will grow at the pace you want it to. The key to successful affiliate marketing and earning a genuine income is selecting the right product or product mix or services to maximize on the business opportunity. Most affiliate programs are free to join and your costs will be to set up your own website and promote your sponsor’s products on your website. The basic idea behind Affiliate Marketing is directing prospective customers or “traffic” around the internet site be it a web Site or a blog. Affiliates, do earn cash by letting them bring tons of traffic to the merchant website. The sky is the limit, once you get your web site up and running. Skyrocketing sales would be realized as a result, and both the affiliate and the website owner will benefit from the situation and you are ‘Blogging all the way to the bank’. Rates are generally directly proportional to how the affiliate performs. If you wish to earn money, whether to have a primary or secondary source of income, joining an affiliate program is definitely the right decision to make and…………………is a matter of choice.
1. You Can Choose to Start Right AwayIf you want to join an affiliate program, you can do so right away, right now! No capital investment is necessary. There is no age, gender, educational, or work requirements for you to meet. As long as you have your own website or Blog with a good quality content and preferably Internet connection at home then you’re on your feet ready to go. Affiliate Programs cost nothing to join (be ware of few that do). No inventory to stock and no order processing; no shipping and handling costs etc They sound so simple and in fact are, that many people are really skeptical about them but the point is, they really work and you can choose now to join one today.
2. You Can Choose to Work from Home
Affiliate programs can be treated as a Home-based Business. You don’t need office space and you certainly don’t need to keep working hours. You can work on being an affiliate only when you can or desire to. You need not sacrifice time away from your family because you can work on your laptop while caring for your children and attending to other home chores. Whether you wish to continue working in the office or in the comfort of your own Home, the choice is entirely yours.
3. You Can Learn and Master Affiliate Marketing
There every need for you to take short courses on affiliate marketing if you want cut a niche in the Affiliate marketing buzz today. The procedures are very simple to follow and you can simply learn even without prior experience. If you want to add to your knowledge base of what you already know from experience, there are several e-books in the market today and some of them are just a few clicks away. To profit from affiliate marketing, all you really need to know is which products and services will most appeal to the target audience of your website.
4. You’re Your own Boss. If you only want to work once a week, no one will get on your chase. If you want to use a certain method in advertising, you’ll have to get no one else’s approval but yours. What you say goes because affiliates are not employees for merchant websites but only get paid by commission. Being your own Boss, means you do not have to ask anyone if you want to take a day off or only want to work a few hours at your business. Thus, you won’t be causing merchant websites money no matter how long it takes for you to make a sale or lead. Your affiliate business will grow at the pace you want it to. Again the Choice is yours.
5. The Choice of the Company is also YoursYes! You choose whom you want to work with and not the other way around! In the real world, the Company bears the right to choose who goes into their payroll, giving the latter the upper hand during job interviews. Companies often get the chance to choose the best individuals but pay them the lowest rate possible. (Profit maximization), but that doesn’t work in affiliate programs. Merchant websites need affiliates more than affiliates need them, and they know it. That’s why they’re willing to pay what you deserve, so all you have to do is choose which company’s products or product mix or services you feel you’ll best be suited to advertise or sell through the program and of course choose wisely, the merchant you want to work with. Knowing those that work and those don’t is imperative. Making a wrong choice, you’ll know why many affiliates have never earned a dime in their programs.
6. You Choose What You Want to Do
In the affiliate marketing business, affiliates are allowed to earn from a Cost per Click (CPC) or Pay per Click (PPC) scheme, which is for every visitor who clicks on the adverts in your website or blog. This is especially common with programs like Google Ad sense. Today, there are two more ways for you to earn as an affiliate. Firstly, is the Cost per Sale (CPS) scheme, you’ll earn a commission for every sale made from a customer who was directed to a merchant website through yours. Secondly, if you are under a cost per action (CPA) scheme, you could be asked to generate leads for the merchant website or something else except for directly increasing sales through assisted purchases. It’s up to you to choose which option you want.
7. You Choose the Payment Scheme
As there are hundreds of affiliate programs that you can join online, it’s up to you once again to choose the payment scheme most suitable to your needs.When you want to get paid is also a question of choice. Some affiliate programs issue pay checks monthly while large ones prefer paying quarterly. Some combine all your earnings in one check while others send you separate checks as others require you to open a Click bank account through which all your dues will be channeled. Click bank is now offering a recurring billing feature to their merchants. Affiliate can now choose from Click bank market place, products that have recurring commission options. Not only will affiliates earn commissions on their first sales from their referrals, but also earn long term recurring exponential income...…Sounds good eh!.
These and other reasons are why you should join an affiliate program today. Ultimately, it will cost you nothing to join but promises you a lot in return and when you do so, you’ll be spoilt for choice!

Having a website today is considered the basis to having success through your own home business. Untill recently, web building had been a big hassle. The traditional web hosting provider has a very technical approach to website building. As a potential website builder you purchase a hosting package then, using your web design tools like DreamWeaver, FrontPage etc, you build your website. But nowadays do you need to be an expert to be able to build your own website? The answer is no!.

All you really need to be able to cut and paste between two windows. Site build-it ensures that your Web pages are correctly optimised, takes care of the search engine submission, search engine monitoring etc leaving you free to concentrate purely on creating the Website content. It was while I was searching for hosting packages that I bumped on the Sitebuild-it website. What I found in Site build-it website was awesome good, no mention of those technical jargons that tends to scare way the . Instead it focused simply on building a website, or more accurately, building a website business. May be you need to take a quick tour to see for yourslef how simple site building has become of late.Then why do you need to be a web expert to build a website? Good news again is that you can solicit for expert service of Site build it experts to put a nice high traffic attracting website, through Web master directory.

Certified Webmaster Directory and let the experts do it for you at a minimal fee.
2. Sell your own products online:

3. Freelance jobs:
Freelance jobs allow you to make money doing something that you are already good at as opposed to learning a whole newcareer. Freelance jobs are becoming increasingly popular online because of the options and flexibility you have in order to make money online. There are a number of freelance jobs that are available online including freelance writing, writing e'books , graphic designing and copywriting among others. These are considered the most popular.
4. Article writing:
There are a couple of ways you can make money at home with article writing. The first way is to use article writing an info publishing as an advertising method. By placing your website link in the resource box, you can direct people who read your article to your website or blog. The other option is to set up an article writing bureau as a business to write articles for other people's websites. It does not take much to get a business going once you are started. However, the difficult part is getting the word out about your business.
5. Online advertising:
Nowadays, online advertising is one of the greatest ways to make money at home. The best way to go about making money through advertising is by setting up Google ads or Yahoo ads. Both are great but I personally prefer Google adsense because it's by far the most common, and if used properly it can be a real money maker. It's a tailor-Made Way To Monetize your SBI Site!. Rarely will a custom-made solution be dropped into your lap (let alone from the Net's smartest company), just begging you to capitalize. Ride Google AdSense for all its worth. One can add more sites to his account and that the Google code works for any page or site aslong as they comply with Google ad sense program policies by visting the site http://www.google.com/adsense_newpub1/policies Once you've added the code to one website, you are free to add it to more of your sites or pages.In order to start displaying Google Adsense on your website you need first to apply to Google. This is simply a matter of filling out a form online with your details, and your website details etc. and you are ready to earn with AdSense. Payments are normally on pay per (ppc) click basis.
6.Affiliate programs:
Affiliate programs are great ways to make money online. This method is best however when combined with other things. While you can make a decent amount through selling other peoples stuff, it is possible to make a decent income through affiliate programs. Making Money with Affiliate Programs is very straightforward you simply click on the link on the merchant web site and fill out the online form.The sky is the limit, once you get your web site up and running, there are virtually hundreds of internet companies wanting to offer affiliate marketing partnerships, with varied products up for sale. You are the boss and do not have to ask anyone if you want to take a day off or only want to work a few hours at your business. Your affiliate business will grow at the pace you want it to. The key to successful affiliate marketing and earning a genuine income is selecting the right product or opportunity. Most affiliate programs are free to join, and hence try to avoid those that require you to pay some money, much as you may find them mouthwatering. Your costs will be to set up your own website and promote your sponsor's products on your website. The basic idea behind Affiliate Marketing is directing prospective customers or "traffic" around the internet. You will no doubt find affiliate programs quite appealing and must try.
7. Online Auction Selling:
People who don't wish to own a website or don't feel they have the time to keep them updated use auction sites such as eBay for their drop shipping business. The item will be delivered straight to the winning bidder from the wholesaler. The money you make will be the difference between the wholesale price and the price the bidder paid. Auction sites will also take a fee so you won't make quite as much as from your own site, but your products will get spotted easier. One of the most popular online money making ventures today is on online auction sites.The biggest advantage is that you never have to stock the goods yourself so you have no worries about storage space. The way most wholesalers work means you will never be in debt. You are paid by the buyer as soon as the purchase is made but you will normally pay the wholesaler through a credit card or other credit method, this means that for a period of time you will have the customer's money but not yet have paid your wholesaler.The major risks are just as they would be in any business venture drop shipping is no different in that respect. There may be times when you sell a product that the wholesaler currently is out of stock, and this may mean the buyer has to wait longer for their goods and this in turn reflects badly on you as a retailer. Wholesalers that are good do tend to keep you informed about their stock levels because ultimately it is your responsibility. This is where it may come in useful to purchase a good wholesaler list before you get started..You can make thousands of $Dollars annually on online Auction sites -- selling everyday items (like kids toys, shoes, electronics, tools, etc.)!-WITHOUT a web site,-WITHOUT a ton of start-up capital,-WITHOUT being a computer expert, and-WITHOUT a ton of business experience!!
