A MLM Program is set up when you decide to become an affiliate and sell products and services on behalf of a company. What you usually get in return, is a small commission for your efforts. Boo hoo hoo . You probably wouldn’t want to quit your day job too soon on what the average MLM Affiliate makes on their own level. But where the real money is made is through work you convince others to do for you. As a MLM affiliate, you also have the benefit of being able to refer other people to your great money making opportunity. They start to sell the same products and services and you collect a small commission for their work. The more people you sign up under you, the more money you make. Also, there are many programs that allow you to receive commission from the sales generated by people your original referrals refer. Many Programs will pay 5, 10 or even an infinite number of levels deep.

There have been people who became millionaires from this type of marketing but it’s more likely that these people were lucky enough to got into the business early in the game or they’ve spent several dedicated years building their downline.

Some Tips

The First step is to find a company that offers products and services you already love and use. It’s very difficult to convince someone else to purchase a product that you know little about or don’t even use yourself. You will generate most sales from repeat customers; and repeat customers may be your best leads to new customers. Unhappy customers are very likely to tell 7-10 people about a bad experience compared to happy customers, who are only likely to tell between 3-5 people about a good experience. This means that a person selling crap is promoting a company that will eventually fail and failing companies tend to take down failing affiliates with them. If you want to succeed, you want to put your name behind a company that is serious about what they are selling and serious about making sure you succeed.

The next step is to find a way to Market Yourself . Forget about marketing the product for now. The best place to start is with family and friends. These people are the most likely to support you and even help promote you for free. Get business cards, find opportunities to meet new people and make new friends. It’s easier to hand out a business card to a friend then it is to hand them out to someone you met 20 minutes earlier. Also, Business cards are expensive. You really don’t want to be handing them out to people who are likely to just chuck the card out the moment you are out of sight. Make use of Social Networking Sites, Instant Messenger sites, Chatting Rooms, Twitter as a way to meet new friends who may potentially become business leads. Try creating a blog of your own.

I’ve spent years trying to find a ways to make some extra cash and this is, by far, one of the best finds I have up to day. So, you will have to be assertive, confident, focused to become successful. This is a MLM System that is actually made up of other mlm programs. If you’ve been reading through my post you may have stumbled upon the entry MLM: Try It Or Avoid It Over . I mentioned that 90% of affiliate marketers fail for a reason. Most only focus on their earning  potential and not on what it will take to make anywhere between $2500-$10 000+ in residual income.

Don’t bother wasting your time if you think that you will get rich without a bit of work.  There are people in this program going door to door and many getting 100 doors slammed in their faces a day before they get a potential lead. So it can be discouraging initially but all it takes is 1 good lead. It takes only 1 person who says “YES! I want to get involved and im willing to do what ever it takes to be successful,” for your business to take off exponentially.

I did say that this At Home Based Business was easy to set up and I mean it. there are a few  hours of video walking you through step by step of what you need to do. The program itself  intigrates, manages and organizes everything for you so there is no mess and no fuss.

How does it Works?

Your new home based business allows you to be come an affiliate with multiple web based business and companies who are willing to pay you commission to introduce others to their products and services. Where this system really starts to ramp things up is by combining  all these affiliate programs into a MLM system where you get others to join the system, sign up for all these affiliate program and start up their own money making venture.  Many of your referrals will like the different product and actually buy additional products and services (in which you get the comission) and if your referrals are committed to developing financial freedom, they will refer others to this program, building your downline and expanding the limits to you stream of residual income.

There may very well be a point in which your business maintains itself. A point where you do not have to lift a finger to get more referral. a point where you actually generate money every moment of the day and even while you sleep. Short of  investing your money into  bonds, stocks, bank savings… generating income has never been  so hands free and simple. But just like investing, you have to make the right choice. You have to be willing to invest either a little bit of your own money and/or a little bit of your own time. You have to be committed for the long hall and be patient.

You can participate in this  Work At Home Business absolutely free. But keep in mind that this will limit your income earning potential and make it harder for you, overall, to build your downline. Like I said above, some of the affiliate programs and tools require only a monthly subscription of as little as $10/mo. So there is very little excuse for not spending so little to set up a business on the web.

You also are given banners and referral links that you can attach to any website or blog. Now you can monetize your online webpages and social accounts while building leads at the same time.

There are so many opportunities available online but the trouble starts when you are trying to look for potential customers and clients.

Here Are Some Tips to Help you Find Work

1)Post Classifieds. Yellow Pages, Local Magazines and News Paper, Craigslist, Kijiji,Classifieds.ca, Classifiedsforfree.com…

2)Build an online personal website for your business

3)Build a Portfolio for your work. Web Designers can’t get away from this. People want to see what you have done to know if you are worth the money and are legit.

4)Get yourself noticed on Socializing Networks. Myspace, Facebook, Reunion, Orkut, Bebo…

5)Harness the Power of Word to Mouth. Offer insentives to happy clients to tell their friends and family about you.

7)Bid for jobs on freelance networks. Try the links below:

8)Get some decent looking business cards and carry them with you. You never know when you will get an opportunity to make a new client.

9)Always take the opportunity to develop and showcase your skills. There are many contests, fairs, workshops, and conventions; take the opportunity to particiate. Learn from others in your field. You want to be able to stay current and relevant.

10)Negotiate. Depending on how much work you have to do, you may be forced to concede to the bidding of some customers. Try to be flexible; and when you can’t bend, offer your clients plenty of alternatives or recommendations.

11) Be fair and honest with your pricing. If a customer is only one google search away from finding someone better, faster and cheaper then you, then you have a big problem. People don’t like feeling like they’ve been cheated. The best customers are repeat customers and they are also your gateway to new clientel. Always be honest with your pricing. Break everything down for your clients, so they know extacty what they are getting from you. It’s too easy to loose a customer to someone cheaper. It helps if the customer knows that they are paying for quality with you.

12)I Already mentioned in #11; you need to stay competitive. Find out what the competition has that you don’t have, and see if you can get it. Recognize any asset you have that your competition doesn’t have and try to market it.

13)Meet and exceed expectations whenever possible. There is nothing worse than a freelancer that can’t keep up with deadlines. Try not to overload and put too much work on your plate. Always keep your promises. If you say that you will be ready in 1 week then make sure you are prepared and ready to go in 1 week. Even being a day or 2 early can’t hurt if you did quality work and didn’t cut corners just to finish early.

Customers also appreciate it when you do a little extra for free. It’s always a good idea to find suttle ways to let them know that they got a little extra from you so that they don’t have unrealistic expectations everytime they go to you. You don’t want to be cocky or act like you are doing them a big favor (as if you are being charitable). But let them know that you value their business and you appreciate the job they entrusted to you.

14)This one ties into #13 but I wanted to make my list as long as possible ;P. Be organized. I tried my luck at freelance work and it definately isn’t my cup of tea. I have a day planner but it’s pretty much useless to me because I rarely write anything down and when i do, I never check it. You will get more work done when you are organized. The less you have to remember off the top of your head the more likely you will be able to fullfill #13.

15)Have Fun. That’s the best way to stay self-motivated. Freelance work can be pretty lonely. Especially when you don’t have to leave your home to get stuff done. If you are always home, try to find ways to take your job out of the house. Cell phones, laptops, WiFi and portable wireless internet modems are amazing tools to use if you are “on the go” or if you want to get out of the house.

Some people don’t enjoy freelance primarily because they don’t have as much human contact as they would like. Freelance work is great because you are your own boss and you get to work when you choose to work. Some people need to have a fire lit under their bottoms now and then. Keep in mind that freelance work may only be a good part-time/spare-time money making opportunity rather a full-time career for most.

Well…

Yes and No. Yes, there are some legit programs that will allow you to work from home doing data entry or administration work. But  most online opportunities pays below minimum wage, the work may not be steady and there is alot of pressure to meet narrow deadlines.

The scams will promise you thousands of dollars, will flash huge mansions and fancy cars, accept anybody that applies, and will list very well established companies they are affiliated with like Dell, Google, Verizon….etc. These guy are looking for people JUST LIKE YOU. AAAAANNNNNDDDD….

They want your money. They want you to pay to get a job. LOL.

Ok, let be serious for a second. Do you REALLY want to work at home at a steady paying position doing some type of admin work? What are your best options? The best paying jobs are positions where you work in a regular work place environment and then opt for an “at home positions”.

There are several well established companies that are offering this type of program because it saves them money. Many of these “at home positions” pay employees the same as they would if the employees had to commute to work every day. In these instances, even employees save money from not having to travel to work.

The best place I would recommend finding these opportunities would be your local classifieds. News papers, magazines, and online sites like Workopolis or Monster. You can also try asking friends and family. There are recruitment programs for current employees who refer friends and family to work for their company, so there is alot of incentives for friends, family and even strangers to help you out. Then, try signing up for freelance job programs like The On Demand Global Workforce – oDesk ,or Bid for freelance work! at Elance.

One legit program would be Keysforcash. Depending on how fast you type you can generate a very very very modest income from signing up for this free program. This program is definitely something that should be considered a “spare-time” income generator rather than a full blown part-time job opportunity. But I’ve read several trust worthy reviews from people who have joined and have been paid for their work. Unfortunately, you have to be a US resident to apply. sorry to all my fellow Canadian followers. But who knows? Maybe try contacting them to recommend that they have some type of program offer for Canadians. If enough people make that recommendation, they may consider expanding their program.

Another telecommute opportunity I’ve found was LiveOps. I’m not familiar with this company but I’ve seen people recommend this program. They do require that applicants pay a one time fee for their own background check (around $30). I’m still have the opinion that one shouldn’t have to pay for the opportunity to work but this maybe one of the very few exceptions. I really don’t know what to think about it. $30 isn’t alot of money but just out of the principal, I don’t want to pay for something only to discover that it’s a scam. For the sake of this blog, I wouldn’t mind trying this program but I already have a pretty good regular job. If anyone does sign up and try out this program, let me know or leave a comment about your experiences.

Try DionData Solutions a “Data Management Service Bureau”. They provide free training and support. You must be able to type at least 60wpm with accuracy. There are many other qualifications and requirements which you should review before applying. If you try this program out, let me know about your experiences.

Finally, take a look at Axion Data Services. Its another data entry and form processing service. They have about 15 000 data entry operators across America and they provide services to banks, universities, school districts, insurance companies, marketing firms… etc. I’m still looking for people to provide some feedback on this company. If you sign up and get a telecommute position through this company, let me know what you think.

You can try your luck at applying for the kgb. YES, you read me right. Apply for the Special Agent position with the kgb. The Knowledge Generation Bureau(or kgb without any capital letter) is looking for people to participate in their Work @ Home Recruitment Center.

It’s free to join but you do have to take a pretty killer test and pass to qualify. Its shift work and you need to work a minimum of 6 hours a week. It’s a great opportunity for people looking to make a little extra in a program that actually pays you for the work that you do. You get paid about 0.10cents for every full response and 0.05cents for each validation responses. It’s not a lot but it’s a steady part-time gig you can do at home in your spare-time. What more can you ask for? This is the type of program that is best suited for young people. You need to be at least 18 years old to join. IMO, kids from 14-25 would have a lot of fun with this job. You can earn between $3-$6/h if you are able to answer 1 question a minute. For a Trivia Wiz, this would be a piece of cake. I took the test and passed, YAY FOR ME!!!

Unfortunately, I didn’t read about the qualifications that you MUST meet in order to participate in the program. 1) you must have a U.S.A SSN and a U.S. bank account. They accept people who reside in Canada but you must be able to work legally in the U.S. lol. If anyone knows of a similar program in Canada or a program that takes international people, let me know. It sucks. I was sooooo… excited cause it seems to be a very legit program that actually offers something promising. Anyways, even if you are not a U.S. citizen you can still take the test to see what you are made of.

 Be a Special Agent for the kgb!!!
