I found the following article on the Berry Tree Nutronix newsletter. The article is for those of you who may be a little shy as the article explains but still want to network their business. Enjoy!


How to Network Without Saying a Word

By eHow Careers & Work Editor

Networking is crucial to the successful marketing of a business. Many people, however, find it difficult to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger just to expand their business network. If you're a little on the shy side, here are some steps for networking without saying a word.

Step 1
Use your spare time and activities outside the home as a starting point for expanding your business network. Simply being around other people in the same comfortable environment can develop relationships.

Step 2
Participate in online forum discussions on relative topics and start a blog that relates to your business. It is often easier to say what you need to by using a keyboard rather than your voice.

Step 3
Write articles for magazines and information websites on topics relative to your business. To appeal to and get the attention of the local market, write letters to the editor of your local newspaper.

Step 4
Join local clubs and organizations that may or may not have anything to do with the type of product or service your business provides. Just being associated with them will help to get the word out about your business.

Step 5
Donate to local charities on behalf of your business and get involved in community service. Charitable gestures and helping others may develop a positive rapport for your business.

Get out there and get started and you’ll find it was a lot easier than you imagined and you’ll probably have some fun!

Are Schemeless MLM's Your Key To Success?

The Berry Tree is an MLM with legs (longevity) and a product people will never want to be without once they try it - 10 years of success verifies that. I'll write more in the future about The Berry Tree/Nutronix my favorite online business, but for today let me comment that you can make money online through automation.

Not everybody feels that they have what it takes to make money in an MLM (even though they really do) so let me tell you about automation and MLM's.

How about a fully automated business that, while it has support for you to ask questions and receive help, is completely online. You make money in this way:

1. First you join at a low price
2. Second, you're given websites and other tools
3. Third, you visit the website and it's detailed videos help you set up
4. Fourth, you visit the "how to market" section of your website back office and learn
5. Fifth you call and introduce yourself to up-line team members
5. Fifth, you apply your education using the website tools given to you
6. Sixth, you market and you get sales by people visiting your website where the telling and selling is conducted.

The only time you have to talk with people is if you supply your telephone number and they call you to inquire about what you've advertised. Personally I enjoy talking to people (but not selling people) so programs like the Berry Tree are good for me. But the type of program I've just described can be found online and they are a great way to go. Many people are making lots of money to fight the effects of inflation whether in this or other economy.

The Perfect Home Based Business Online

I've found the perfect home based business and have been working feverishly on identifying why it works when so many others don't. I'm talking about MLM's. Yes somewhat of a dirty word - unless you're with the right opportunity. Let me spell out what a "right opportunity" is to help you find a business that will allow you to retire from.

Don't get me wrong, I like start ups because of the immediate impact you can receive when it first starts, but my choice when looking for an opportunity to retire with, is one that has legs and with many years of experience so that you can eliminate the possibility of it ending and leaving you high and dry.

The next thing I look for is a high quality product that over time has been proven to be effective. In my humble opinion that perfect product should be consumable so people will continue to need and use it. A quality consumable product allows for people to join your business and not leave, because they learn to want and need the product.

It is imperative if you want to be successful that the compensation program runs well on all cylinders, meaning it has multiple phases to it that can create a huge income through yours and your teams building.

Talking about building, the compensation program must be structured so that everyone benefits from everyone else instead of the higher up people getting all of the benefits.

We live in automated times and the way to go now-a-days is to insure that as you recommend people to your business that the system does the telling and selling with website presentations so that you and not only the super sales people can bring in interested people.

You find a company like this and your failure will only be because of you not willing to do a little work.

Longevity and Product Help Make Money At Home

I wrote an article in an attempt to give advise to people who are struggling to make money online and to make money at home. The article speaks to the importance of finding a program that is well established with a good underlying product. Here are some excerpts from that article.

Contrary to the beliefs of some it definitely helps to join a plan that is well established and has been successful and for a long time. You may be one who likes start ups but believe me if you’re not a guru at marketing you are going to be one of the many that make the guru’s rich at your expense. If you think that older more established plans have saturated the market and therefore are not right for you, then think again because there is plenty of room for everyone to make money at home and from the internet. The advantage to an established opportunity is that they have, through trial and error, found what works and doesn’t work for you.

Lastly and importantly, find an opportunity that has a product you can become passionate about. I don’t care if it is a digital product or a hard product, you absolutely must be passionate about it. If you are passionate about the product, and all the other things I’ve discussed are in place you will have the incentive to stick with your plan if you have passion about the underlying product.

Success Oriented Mindset to Make Money at Home

I like as often as possible to read and hear something positive and forward looking each day so that I can take the appropriate successful attitude into anything that I undertake that day. I believe that in this network marketing world where we intend to make money at home or to make money online it is particularly important to begin each day with with a positive mindset.

For I believe and there is much support for that belief that your attitude about something is the glue that brings all the forces together for you to make success oriented action. The following was written in a newsletter by Leadpower a networking company that provides leads for networkers. I hope you find it useful in your network marketing or life's efforts.


Unfair Advantages.............
There are people who have advantages that you don't have. Instead of feeling resentful about that, make something beautiful and wonderful out of it. There are advantages you have that others don't have. Instead of feeling guilty about that, use your advantages to make a positive and valuable contribution to life.

Life is not fair, and we would not want it to be. For if life were completely fair, everyone would be exactly the same, and things would indeed be stagnant and tedious.

As it is, life is what you make of it, and what you choose is unique and different than what others choose. As a result of all those diverse choices, the world moves forward in new and fascinating ways that could never be imagined by anyone attempting to make it fair.

We each have our own burdens and our own joys, from both of which we can learn and grow. When we accept the fact that life is not fair, then we begin to make it great.

Though life is not fair, it is very much worth living. Though life is not fair, each person has the opportunity to make it magnificent in his or her own special way.

When Short Sales Copy is Effective Helping You to Make Money Online

Enjoy an article I wrote about website salescopy.......

"When Short Sales Copy is Effective Helping You to Make Money Online"


To do justice to those of you who know and understand that long salescopy isn’t always the answer to your website writing, I wanted to address when short copy makes more sense. In other articles discussing how to make money online, I pointed out that long salescopy should be used when you are selling one individual product, service or make money online program. I also emphasized that long salescopy should be used particularly when you have a service to sell.

Here I want to point out that there definitely is a place for short salescopy. There are a few circumstances where using short salescopy will assist you better to bring customers to the point of sale and hopefully as a result make money online fast or at least faster than if you were not to use short salescopy. By the way, I’d love to be able to say that you can make easy money online using short sales copy, but making money online fast or slow or any other way has more to do with all of the marketing methods you employ, not just short or long sales copy.

Back to short salescopy. When should you use it? Generally you should use short sales copy when you have many products to sell that fit into different categories. Think about it for a minute why would that be the case? You may consider that you simply want to make money online, why would it be better to use short sales copy if you are selling many products. What first comes to mind should be, how on earth do I write and make sense of all of the different reasons and benefits of buying several different products. You would simply mix the reader up by using long salescopy. If your reader is mixed up then there is little chance of making money online because they will not be able have confidence enough to click the button and buy.

Even if you thought that you could simply have a long salescopy separate and individual for each product, it’s not feasible that you’d ever make money online because you’d probably never finish your writing. Writing 10 pages for each product is a daunting task. You want to make money online as soon as you can and you need to get started as soon as you can. Attempting to write long salescopy wouldn’t work. Wanting to make steady money online and as soon as you can, when you are selling a variety of products, lends itself to having to write salessopy but not long salescopy.

This in no way implies that you shouldn’t write salescopy. In the instance of selling many products, it means you need to shorten it up and lead the visitor through the same sales process as found in long salescopy but in a less daunting way. This you can learn as well as when there is a call to learn long salescopy. Or professionals can write it for you.

Cutting Negativity Helps Make Money Online

I woke up today with the weight of the Economic crisis on my shoulders as perhaps some of the rest of you have.

I am diverting just a little bit from my comments about making money online to bring you an article presented by my friends at Leadpower (A very fine prospecting leads company) that helped me get focused and may do the same for you - As I think about it I am not really diverting away from making money online because your attitude certainly has an effect on your success at making money online.


-Interruption-

When you find yourself beginning to feel overwhelmed by negativity, you can always choose to break the pattern. Stop whatever you are doing, and for three of four minutes focus your mind on thoughts of gratitude, acceptance and peacefulness.

Breathe deeply, and relax the muscles throughout your body. Reflect on how very fortunate you are to be alive and aware in this universe that's overflowing with positive possibilities.

Give yourself a peaceful break. Give your spirit the opportunity of resetting to a more positive perspective, and it will.

In a few short moments, you can easily and naturally break free of any negative pattern in which you may have been caught. You'll be vastly better positioned to effectively respond to whatever life sends your way.

Instead of acting out of anger or frustration, fear or anxiety, you'll be able to choose your actions based on your own positive purpose. Instead of being caught up in the grip of negativity, you'll be calmly and firmly in control.

When the negativity starts to get overwhelming, choose to interrupt it with a positive, peaceful break. You'll find it can make a profound and positive difference.
