Happy Friday everyone! I have decided to make Friday’s my official day to post reviews on companies, industry leaders, and products. So for my very first review I will be discussing the fantastic MLM company Monavie. And just to keep it honest I wanted to let you all know that I  am not a rep for Monavie. So without further ado:

A company founded in 2005, and based in South Jordan, Utah distributes acai berry fruit juice through direct marketing. Claiming that the acai berry is a super-food, containing several vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients healthy bodies need, these juices are advertised as a way to gain and maintain natural health.

One thing that is very different about MonaVie, is that in addition to the normal line of juices for everyone, active people, and a few specific but common health aliments, this company also produces a Kosher version of its product. MonaVie seems to recognize and honor the fact that this world is a diverse place, and that diversity is good.  Other than diversity and pleasing packaging, little difference can be discerned between this company and other nutritional juice companies.

The typical buy at wholesale and sell at retail plan is in place for MonaVie, but with a twist. If a customer is enrolled as a preferred customer, then additional bonuses are calculated. There are also additional bonuses for bulk sales. As you work with the company and build a down line of 5 direct recruits and several layers of their recruits, then the serious money can be made. Depending on how the down line performs decides what the bonuses you receive are.

The advantage to MonaVie is that they are new to the market, with just over 5 years of experience. This means that the market is not flooded with their products and that new recruits will be easier to find. The disadvantage is that the health market is flooded with companies selling “snake oil” and customers are leery of any new company stating that its products can help to improve their state of health.

MonaVie did not disclose the amount it costs to get started as a distributor, which sends a red flag that it might be a considerable amount compared to other direct sales companies. But when compared to traditional businesses, getting started in even and expensive direct sale plan is generally much less.

In researching home based business opportunities, you might have run across the terms “affiliate marketing” and “network marketing.” You can work from home in either type of business, but it is a good idea to learn what each one is before you commit to the program. While similar, there are some differences.

1. You usually sell different types of products in affiliate marketing than in network marketing. In the former, you would likely sell products that only have to be bought once. A product like this could be anything from an ebook to a condo timeshare. The customer buys it from your company and then you will probably not sell to her again. In network marketing, the focus is on making a lasting relationship so that you can sell an ongoing supply of products, usually physical rather than digital.

2. The Internet use may be different. Network marketing has come to rely heavily on Internet communication, sales, and advertising. If you do network marketing, you will probably like to use all of these tools, although they are usually not required. On the other hand, affiliate marketing is usually done exclusively through the Internet. People find out about it, purchase it, and receive it through the Internet.

3. Advertising, then, is through the Internet with affiliate marketing. With network marketing, print ads, flyers, and radio commercials are also used quite often by the individual entrepreneur to promote her business.

4. As far as work required, they are both businesses that need attention. That is not to say that you have to spend every waking moment on your affiliate marketing or network marketing business. However, you will need to set aside time routinely to watch over your business and take care of any tasks that come up.

5. The structure may be different for affiliate marketing and network marketing. Affiliate marketing usually has five or fewer levels. There may be only two levels that affect your business and income, for example. Network marketing is usually done on a broader basis with many levels of your network having a bearing on how well you do.

6. Both affiliate marketing and network marketing have good potential for income, but they may be paid in different ways. In affiliate marketing, the sale is usually made, and then that transaction is over. The customer goes in the serviced file and you go on to the next customer. You will probably be paid for the sale, and you might also be paid for extras such as clicks on the website, for example. With network marketing, you are paid when someone purchases a product. You are also paid when someone in your down line sells a product. The residual income can hold you over for years after you retire. When choosing a work from home business, make sure you are happy with the business of affiliate or network marketing.

Creating a network of buyers and sellers is essential to the success of a home based business. The strategy in network marketing is to build a strong enterprise with many of your buyers eventually becoming sellers, having your customers generate new business is the key to multi-level marketing. The problem with MLM is that it takes time to establish the network and many people run out of patience too soon.

Setting up the distribution network is a time consuming process. First, you have to generate leads for your product and then turn those leads into customers. Once you have found buyers you have to make sure they are satisfied so you can use them to help market your product.

If you are not satisfied with the results of your network marketing plan then it may be time to take a look at your strategy. Successful MLM’s provide a great deal of support for distributors. Just because someone has purchased your product and now wants to sell it doesn’t mean they are qualified to do so.

Have they been properly trained on sales techniques? Have you provided them with promotional materials and are they communicating the proper message about your business? Think of your network marketing plan as a successful franchise operation like McDonalds. The fast food chain controls all aspects of the operations to make sure that customers are delivered a consistent product.

Even by employing the best techniques and following the rules of network marketing it can still be difficult to turn a profit. The successful entrepreneurs have a strong belief in themselves and their product that carry them through. The current economy makes it difficult for any business plan to work, even the most well conceived. Trust in yourself and have some patience. Studies show that success rates for network marketing are going down and one of the reasons is that too many expect to get rich quick.

Hi everyone! We are at week 2 of Article Marketing With Carin and I have some great results to show you. I was able to successfully promote 5 articles using Automatic Article Submitter which sends the articles to over 300 articles websites/directories. What you do is create a “main” article that you want to point all the traffic to and you do this by creating links in other articles to that website.

For example, in the videos above I show you the views of the articles I have added to my MLM Lead System Pro back office. Each article gets its own webpage and I add the link to that website in the author box in the Automatic Article Submitter. I also add a link to the website I want to promote. (In next weeks video I will show you exactly what I mean and how the program works.)

You want to submit your article to this many sites and directories because the more content you have pointing to one website the better your ranking in search engines will get. In the short time that I have been using this wonderful piece of software I have been able to get almost every single one of my articles onto the 1^st page of google.

I also decided to make videos of all my articles and use Traffic Geyser to promote to a ton of video sharing sites like YouTube and MetaCafe. Again, the more content you have out there, the better your website ranking. Take a look at my YouTube page to take a look at examples of how I do the videos for the articles. Make sure to look at the descriptions; all of them contain a website url which is the website or content I am marketing and want people to visit.

In next weeks addition of Article Marketing With Carin I’ll got into more detail about how I use the article program, updated view results of the articles, and I’ll also be showing you my Aweber account statistics so we can keep track of the leads I’m getting from my articles. See you then!
