A Basic Guide To The Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) NetworkCopyright © Timothy Watts
http://www.BuildingWealthGroup.netMulti-level marketing (MLM) is also referred to as network marketing. The MLM is essentially a type of business model that combines direct marketing with franchising. The term business model describes a vast range of informal and formal models that are used by companies to represent various aspects of business, such as operational processes, organizational structures, and financial forecasts. The MLM business functions by enrolling unsalaried salespeople to sell products and meanwhile earn additional sales commissions based on the sales of people enrolled into their downline, an organization of people that includes direct recruits, recruits' recruits and so on. This arrangement is similar to franchises where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager. There can be multiple levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales. New MLM members may be required to pay for their own training and marketing materials, or to buy a significant amount of inventory to start their career.
The compensation plans vary from one MLM business to the other, but there are basic plans in place. The Unilevel or Stairstep Breakaway plans are the oldest and most popular in the MLM business. These plans features two types of distributors either managers or non-managers. The pay method of these plans includes Baseshop overrides where there are overrides of managers from their subordinate non-managers. This method is the same as any other type of sales organization. Generational overrides are overrides of managers from the baseshop of managers who were previously their subordinate. Most plans compensate at least three generations of such managers. Executive bonuses are commissions for managers who exceed a posted sales quota. For example, 2% of the total company sales revenue may go to a bonus pool that is shared monthly to managers who exceed $10,000 in that month. Commissions are based on the aspect of cycles, where a distributor is paid a fixed amount whenever both legs achieve a certain number of sales units each. Commissions are paid incrementally when the sales volume in each leg matches.
In recent years, the MLM business has developed an image problem due to its resemblance to the illegal pyramid or other similar schemes. MLM businesses operate in the United States in all 50 states and in more than 100 other countries around the world. Many pyramid schemes try to present themselves as legitimate MLM businesses. In the legitimate MLM companies, commissions are earned only on sales of the company's products and/or services. No money may be earned from recruiting alone through sign-up fees, though money earned from the sales of members recruited is one attraction of MLM arrangements.
A commonly adopted test of legality is that MLMs follow the so-called 70% rule which prevents members "inventory loading" in order to qualify for additional bonuses. The 70% rule requires participants to sell 70% of previously purchased inventory before procuring new orders. There are however variations in interpretations of this rule. Some attorneys insist that 70% of purchased inventory should be sold to people who are not participants in the business, while many MLM companies allow for self-consumption to be a significant part of the sales of a participant. The Federal Trade Commission offers advice for potential MLM members to help them identify those activities that could be scams.

The $1,604.98 Video... Copyright © Timothy Watts
http://www.BuildingWealthGroup.netYou may be wondering how to make some more extra money online in
your spare time.
Nothing unrealistic like making "thousands overnight", but real
extra money around $200 to $2,000 that you can take home every
month.
That's what this email is about. So you may want to read it very
carefully...
Currently more and more internet marketers are finding it much
more profitable to pay end-users like you and me to see their
ads directly instead of paying already filthy rich middle-men
like Google Adwords.
That's exactly how you can easily start building new streams of
revenue online -- by joining multiple free-to-join
"Paid-To-Read-Email" (PTR) Programs.
You get the advertiser's message by email. You read it and you
get paid a fixed amount for reading the ad. It's like being paid
to watch commericals on TV!
Of course, you don't have to purchase anything, you get paid for
just looking at the ads.
For example, my good friend Tushar Sheth made $1,604.98 without
spending a dime from just 3 such free-to-join programs (there
are hundreds of such free-to-join programs with new ones coming
up every week!)
I strongly recommend watching his "$1,604.98 Video" where he
logs into his own personal accounts and shows you how much extra
money can be made from such PTR programs without spending a
dime:

His private video has become extremely popular and his server
is getting hammered with numerous requests to watch it at the
same time, so if you can't see the video immediately then try
again later.

Quick Site Indexing
Copyright © Timothy Watts
http://www.BuildingWealthGroup.netGetting listed quickly in search engines is something every web
site owner wants to do. Lots of site owners don’t really know
how to do this, though. Fortunately for them, there are several
ways to getting listed quickly, all of which we will go over in
this article. These ways include submitting the URL, using
keywords, using links, and using blogs to get listed quick.
Tip #1: Submit your URL manually to search engines
Search engines like Google, Altavista and Yahoo all have options
for you to manually submit your site. Before submitting,
however, it is important to make sure of the following:
1. All pages on your site are complete. Search engine spiders
won’t touch incomplete sites.
2. Your site is not full of spam and/or excessive use of
keywords. Yet again, spiders won’t touch spam sites, which means
your site will be skipped over if it contains lots of spam.
When you submit the site, make sure to submit it only once to
each search engine. Submitting multiple times to the same search
engine will get you no where. In fact, they might keep your site
from ever having a chance at being listed on the search engine.
Tip #2: Use keywords to get spiders to come to your site
Search engine spiders absolutely love sites with good,
well-placed and well-used keywords and key phrases. In other
newsletters, we have covered the correct use of keywords and
key phrases, so you might already be familiar with it. If not,
we’ll briefly touch on it right now.
Keywords are words that are used frequently on a site that
search engines look for. The key to correct usage of keywords is
to make them fit naturally throughout a piece of content and not
look like spam. Before writing your content for your site, take
a second to decide what the content is about. Then make a list
of keywords or key phrases that seem to fit with the topic at
hand. Next, write the content and try to sprinkle in the
keywords or key phrases throughout the content in a natural,
non-distracting way. When you are done writing the content, you
should count the number of keywords or key phrases. Then divide
that by the total number of words in content. If the number you
get is between 1-3%, you’re good to go. If it’s below 1%, try to
naturally add in keywords or key phrases. If it’s above 5%, try
to take out keywords or key phrases. Aim for the perfect balance
of between 1 and 3%.
Tip #3: Use links
Having another site link to you will make spiders that visit the
first site come to your site as a result of the link. Many
owners of sites related to yours are happy to post a link to
your site on their links page. Some might require what is called
“reciprocal linking”. This basically means that if they place a
link to your site on their page, they want you to return the
favor by posting a link to their page on your site. Doing so
helps both sites better gain the attention of search engine
spiders and helps them both to get listed quickly.
Tip #4: Install a blog on your site
Blogs are extremely popular and quickly listed by search
engines. Places like Google are known to index(or list a
site/blog) far faster than they list regular web sites. Blogs
are listed by search engines like Google within days of being
created, whereas it can take weeks and months for search engines
to notice a site.
Installing a blog on your site is really easy. All you have to
do is install a program such as WordPress on your web site and
then use that to make blog postings. If you run a sports site,
for instance, you could try making twice a week posts on the
blog about sports news. Doing so will help your site as a whole
get noticed quicker by search engines.
If you apply just one of the tips above to your web site, you
will get listed quicker than expected.
