I am an active Internet Marketer, but a few of the affiliate programs in my Internet Marketing (IM) portfolio are also MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing). I have simply chosen Internet Marketing as the way I prefer to promote them.Copyright © GT Bulmer http://www.StarrBizz.comA few years ago I was involved in "traditional" face-to-face MLM. I did well enough in the income department - above average, by some standards at the time - but I did not like weekly meetings, three-way and conference calls, and chasing people to join me - or once they joined, chasing them to be active themselves in promoting it. Internet Marketing attracted me because: - First, I love marketing and promoting. - Second, I can do it on my own time, at my own leisure anytime, day and night. - Third, because I am largely a "visual" type of person and I need to think about things and examine them before acting. In other words, I am not typically "spontaneous" and never liked the demand in traditional MLM to think on my feet and make snap decisions or judgements. Some people are good at that. I venture to say that I am not. Now I am thoroughly immersed in Internet Marketing and thoroughly enjoying it. The few MLM-style programs in my IM portfolio can be successfully developed via IM. Some of the team-building principles are the same. For example, training and sponsor support. But it can all be done via the Internet. I suppose my point, and the bottom line, is you have to find what is right for you. Not only what product or program you want to promote, but also the style or method of promoting it. In my opinion, there is no "best" or "right" way to market. It all comes down to the best fit for you, personally. That usually requires some time and effort on your part to research the opportunities, and it could mean some trial and error until you DO find that right fit, but the important thing is the goal. Where do you want to end up? How do you define success? Once you determine the goal - that's the target you are aiming for - you can then start putting the steps in place to achieve it. MLM or Internet Marketing? Whatever it takes! Remember the saying, "If it's going to be, it's up to me."

If you have ever wanted a work at home opportunity where the company generates new signups and gives them to YOU, here it is!Copyright © GT Bulmer http://www.StarrBizz.comNew for 2008, EyeEarn is a personal advertising network where you earn money effortlessly while simply going about your day. EyeEarn is a new global advertising network that taps into simple, easy forms of advertising that everyone can do - it is fun, easy and no experience is necessary. For me, personally, there are two very big reasons why I am excited about the EyeEarn Network. Actually, there are MANY reasons why the opportunity excites me, but two specific reasons stand out. First, with very little effort on your part, you will receive a share of all the new affiliate signups generated by the company WORLDWIDE. Isn't that every Internet marketers dream? To have a steady flow of new signups joining your team without having to sweat bullets trying to find them and drag them in? We are just a few days into the New Year and EyeEarn is already adding new signups to my downline - do you see why I am so excited? Second, EyeEarn is MUCH MORE than just generating affiliate signups. Active EyeEarn affiliates also receive monthly shares of all MaxMalls sales worldwide. MaxMalls is a portal to a growing variety of major name-brand online stores. Imagine getting a piece of THAT action? Well, now you can. Okay, here is a THIRD reason why I believe the EyeEarn Network is so powerful. EyeEarn was created by SFI to help SFI affiliates build and expand their residual income streams. So, not only are you creating an additional income stream through monthly MaxMalls shares, but your new EyeEarn affiliates also become part of your SFI affiliate team and can add to your profits from the numerous streams of income that already exist for you in SFI! Some of the income streams available in SFI are Merchant Services override commissions, TuneFlow override commissions, NiceOffers override commissions and NiceOffers Fundraiser override commissions. One more thing - SFI is donating a portion of every MaxMall sale to the non-profit organization, Save the Children. What does it cost to join the EyeEarn Co-op Network? Simply make a ONE TIME purchase of an EyeEarn Starter Kit for $20, plus fulfill a couple of easy-to-do, non-monetary requirements. That's all. There are other upgrades in SFI you may want to consider at a later date, but they are optional. So, for $20 worth of marketing materials, including banners for your car, a T-shirt, promo cards and mini-labels, why on earth would anyone NOT want to join the EyeEarn Network? My SFI/EyeEarn team is growing. You are welcome aboard. Let's work together and make 2008 our most memorable money-making year ever!

Writing effective advertising copy may not seem like an easy thing to do, but with a little information, insight and practice you can learn to create ads guaranteed to grab attention and get the job done!Copyright © GT Bulmer http://www.StarrBizz.comHere are a few of my favourite tips and ideas. You can adapt them to your industry and your needs. The starting point for creating an ad is either the product you want to sell, or the audience you want to sell it to. What are you selling and to whom do you hope to sell it? Let's say your focus is the product. Brainstorm a list, in writing, of every benefit and feature you can think of. Include all the wonderful ways the product will solve problems or enhance the life or business of the buyer. Once the list is complete, prioritize the items by order of greatest value. Next, think about your target audience. Carefully consider their needs, interests and expectations. Again, create and prioritize a list of all the reasons this audience could benefit from the product. Now, go back to your list of product benefits and features and see if you can adjust the priorities to better fit the interests of this audience. The next step is to decide what you want the ad to accomplish. Do you want to make direct sales from the ad? Or simply drive traffic to a website to do the selling? It is important to have a well-defined purpose. The more specific the purpose and the wording, the more powerful and effective the ad will be. Alright, here we go. What is the most important benefit or feature of your product? Use that information in either your headline or your first sentence. As you craft the body of the ad, entice your prospects with other high priority benefits and features. Be descriptive! Help your prospects visualize the product or its benefits. Use actual pictures or graphics where possible. "Power" words can add punch to your ad copy. Words like Free, Easy, Guaranteed, Limited and New are effective in getting attention and motivating people to buy or respond. The use of the words You and Yours personalizes the ad and enhances its appeal. You may want to highlight ways your product is different or better than other similar products, but do not cut down your competitor's product! Instead, focus on the positive qualities of your product. Use testimonials from satisfied customers, if you have their approval. Finally, it is always good to go for the close - TELL the prospect what to do: "Order NOW." "Visit our website TODAY." "Act FAST!" "Quantities are LIMITED. Get YOURS now." Let's review the key points of successful advertising copy: - choose a specific product or service - identify a targeted audience - create a powerfully appealing headline - focus on the top benefits or features - highlight the advantages - use "power" words and phrases to motivate - use descriptive words to create visual images and appeal - know what you want the prospect to do and TELL them - use testimonials You can also review other ads and marketing materials to pick up additional ideas and insight. Experiment with changes in your ad copy and track your ads to see which ones produce the best results. It may take some trial and error to find the best formula for your ads, but remember this - practice makes perfect.
