You have researched your prospective company. You completed your due diligence and everything met your standards. All you have to do is to sign on the line and you are in business. Yet something still doesn’t seem right to you. You keep receiving vague answers when you talk to others members of your leader’s downline.

So how do you determine if your leader is the leader you want to work with?

Some sponsors do what leaders need to do.  They motivate you when you need it.  They try to understand what makes you tick. They want and need to understand your goals and what gets your blood racing.  Ultimately, they become both a friend and mentor.

Sometimes, the sponsor doesn’t fulfill the role of a leader. After they get you signed up, they disappear. This happens way too often. Then the marketer struggles to make any money and, most likely, drop out of the business after six to nine months.

So, how do you know which type of sponsor is recruiting you?

Unfortunately, there is not a clear cut answer to this question.  Probably the best course of action is to have a set of questions that you need answered.  Then you need to interview your prospective sponsor to see how they answer your questions. You also need to understand that some sponsors will not take kindly to being interviewed.  They will state that they are the leader and you need to follow what they say. This may or may not be good for you.

If you are new to the MLM world, there are many things that your sponsor may not tell you. They may not tell you what to do after you tap out your warm market. They may give you vague instructions, like make a list of 100 people that you know and go talk to them. Handing out flyers, holding in home meetings, explain your business to any one that will listen, etc. etc. are other things that they may have you do.

This may work for some people. However, this marketing strategy has done more damage to the network / MLM market that anything else. If a person is not a salesman, they will fail miserably if they try to market their product this way. They need a different marketing strategy.

A good sponsor will have a plan to get the new person going. They will try to understand the comfort level for a given marketing plan and explain how to implement this plan. Most good sponsors have a range of marketing strategies that can be adapted to fit most any situation or person. They understand that there is not a single solution for getting everyone successful, so they change their plan to fit the person.

There are also a percentage of marketers that don’t want their sponsors help. They have been there, done that. Sometimes they know more than their sponsor but, because of their situation, join an opportunity under a less experienced sponsor. As a sponsor, you should then try to learn everything you can from this team member.

In conclusion, when you are considering joining a new opportunity, make sure you know what your sponsor will do for you and what you will be doing for them. Just remember that the goal is for everyone to be successful.

The market place has a tremendous amount of discussion ongoing concerning the relatively new contender to the drink market.  These drinks are being marketed as functional beverages.  What is the coffee fruit functional beverage?

According to Wikipedia, a functional beverage definition is defined as drink products that satisfy thirst, are non-alcoholic and ready to drink.  They include in their formulation non-traditional ingredients, such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids or additional fruit or vegetable raw ingredients, depending on the purpose it is designed for, so as to provide specific health benefits that beyond general nutrition. Sports and performance drinks, energy drinks, ready to drink teas, enhanced fruit drinks, soy beverages and enhanced water.

May different components have been combined into drinks that fall into the functional beverage arena.  Unfortunately, many of these drinks, in reality, are not functional beverage fortified drinks. They have added sugars, preservatives, colors, etc. Yes, they may have the base ingredients but they are just drinks. PERIOD.

By comparison, the coffee fruit functional beverage has what most to the other drinks do not have.  The drink has food-form calcium carbohydrate which contains the vital, trace element boron and a standardized blend of eight different vegetables for a powerhouse of vegetable based antioxidants and nutrients.  This produces a high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value that supports many of the body’s vital functions.

Also contained in this drink is a pomegranate powder from one of the world’s most prized fruits. The pomegranate is known to assist the body with healthy inflammation response, antioxidant support and healthy circulation to the brain. There is even a patented botanical adaptogen formula that has been shown to increase the body’s resistance to stress and tension during human trials.

This beverage starts with the coffee fruit, which is also known as the coffee cherry is the fruit of the coffee plant. The best way to describe the coffeefruit is that it is similar to the sweet cherry. You have an excellent fruit with a seed. Only, with the coffee fruit, the seed is the coffee bean that is where we get our coffee. The real plus in this beverage is the proprietary blend of fruit powders and extracts that promotes healthy aging, healthy cardiovascular function, healthy vision, and many more positive results.

Then, to make this drink truly unique, we blend into our drink a mix of other power packed fruits, such as cupuacu, camu camu, and acai. They are blended into this drink which results in a coffee fruit functional beverage that may well rule the industry.

With only 63 calories per three ounce serving, this drink provides the antioxidant equivalent of more than sixteen servings of fruits and vegetable.

Imagine how you would feel if you had to eat 16 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday?

I am guessing that eating that much on a daily basis would be quite a fete, not counting the time, effort and discomfort that would occur with that much food.  In comparison, with this functional beverage, you would only have to drink 3 ounces every day and you get the same benefits.

So, if you are ready to step up your health, you need to do what my team and I did by going to: http://CBD.MLMIntegrityMarketing.com This will get you started on your journey with the coffee fruit functional beverage.

Are you a person that works at a business for someone else?  Most people are.

Why do you go to work every day?

For the money to maintain your standard of living? To be “able” to go on vacation?  To  keep from starving to death?

The employee is a very specific type of individual. This type of person wants only to do what they are instructed to do.  They may not be happy doing a particular job but it is better than having to make a decision on what to do to get paid.  Most of these people are quite good at what they do, they just don’t want the responsibility for the task at hand. They are usually very punctual and reliable. For most people, this is all they want out of life.

However, there is a large group of people that can’t stand the thought of someone else telling what they need to do. These people are called business owners and/or entrepreneurs. Although many use these titles interchangeably, they are quite different types of people.  The business owner may be an entrepreneur but an entrepreneur is much more than a business owner.

A business owner usually identifies themselves with the business only. When you ask them “What do you do?”, they are quite specific. They will reply “I run a XXXX business”.  If you check back on them in five years, they are still running the same business.

An entrepreneur, on the other hand, will respond quite differently to the question “What do you do?”. Many times an entrepreneur will answer something like “I’m running an online business, I’m running a charity for XXXX, I’m starting a new business to do XXXX, … etc.”  They seem to be always working on something new. This is just the way they are. If you were to check back on them in five years, they probably would have added four or five new ventures to their stable of products and will be working on new ideas also.

Why do these people work for themselves?

That answer lies within each individual person.  Most of the base answers begin with “I want to ….” and then go on to expound on the goals that each person has established for themselves.  Many times these goals are about the ability to give to the community or to a specific cause. Some are about very personal reasons, such as providing financial support to a cause in support of a friend or family member.

Some people are in business by themselves because they don’t want to conform to the rules that apply in most other companies. They believe that they are capable of earning a respectable income and what to have the ability to determine what they do and when. They understand that if they don’t produce something of value, they don’t get paid. They also understand that if they produce something of value, the world may beat a path to their door.

Are you an entrepreneur that is stuck in an employee mode?  Do you have the desire to actually step away from the structured employee world to be able to set your own course?

If that sounds like your thoughts, you can explore the entrepreneur world without severing the ties of your current job. To start the transition process, go to: http://www.Millionaire-Marketing-Plan.com/?p=emmfor to learn what it takes to grab your niche in the world.

So, are you truly “unemployable”? Do you cringe when people say you HAVE to do something? Do you panic when you are told that you HAVE to record your work time?

Well, you are not alone.

Many people are unemployable because THEY want to control their own destiny. They want to make their own work schedules, be responsible for scheduling and completing their own tasks, and have their income grow or shrink on their own effort.

OR … do you want someone else to be responsible for all of those things?

Imagine the world without employees.  Most mass produced items would disappear.  Few cars, computers, phones, processed food, etc, etc.  No waiters or waitresses. No bartenders, no chauffeurs, no hotel staff, no stewardesses.

What we would have would be quite expensive since the economy of scale would not exist.  Those that are today living with others doing most everything for them would become truly one-man shows.  Not very pretty is it?  Fortunately, for many, the employee exists or we would have extreme chaos in the world.

Most people tend to have an employee personality.  This is not good or bad, right or wrong.  Many people want someone else to control want goes on in their work life.  They may complain about this fact forever but they don’t want the responsibility. They need to have someone guide them.

This is fortunate for those of us that ARE unemployable.

Because we WANT to be our own bosses, we can do many things “employees” never consider. We dictate our work schedules. We set our own goals … and reap the rewards when the goals are met … both physically and financially. We don’t have to worry about the boss telling us we have to stay late to finish that project or any of the other demands of a boss.

On the other hand, we tend to be harder on ourselves than most bosses would ever do.  We set deadlines that we aren’t sure we can meet, sometimes just to see if we can do it. We have the tendency to venture into unknown areas because we enjoy the challenge of the unknown.  But we also understand the profit potential of the unknown and we always are seeking to push the financial limits … because we can.  We know we will benefit financially if we do what we know we can do.

The employees of the world will never see this financial situation, unless they win the lottery, because they don’t and won’t task the necessary risk.  They want the weekly paycheck.  They would NEVER take a position that would allow for less income even though the potential for more income exists.  They don’t trust their ability to come out on the winning side.

So, how do you transition from employee to unemployable?

My suggestion is follow the path that my team and I have followed.  Go to: http://tr.im/emmfor and learn how we teach people to transition from your world to ours.  You won’t be sorry.

Columbus Grove, OH – Bill Palte, an independent Master Marketer with CarbonCopyPro, is excited to announce the latest internet marketing tool: the BlackBox.  The BlackBox, which conforms to the Federal Trade Commission’s newly established guidelines, was designed to streamline online commerce and allow associates to sell anything, to anyone anywhere in the world.

During November 2009, more than 1,300 entrepreneurs from around the globe gathered in Las Vegas to glean knowledge from the live teachings at the Fourth Master Marketing Event and were the first to learn the details of the much anticipated BlackBox.

Statistically speaking, CarbonCopyPro should not exist today. The average internet based business doesn’t survive beyond twelve months and yet CarbonCopyPro is anything but average. Words like integrity, respect, and commitment define CarbonCopyPro in an era marred by corporate greed and deception.

When CarbonCopyPro began nearly five years ago, as the brainchild of co-founders Jay Kubassek and Aaron Parkinson, a plan was put together to build an organization dedicated to its associates and all involved with CarbonCopyPro. The business partners share a commitment to positively impacting the lives of those within the CarbonCopyPro community, as well as those in the larger community beyond CarbonCopyPro.

It’s this commitment which drives CarbonCopyPro to provide its associates with the cutting-edge tools and resources needed to compete in the ever-evolving world of Internet marketing. The ability to anticipate changes and provide workable solutions is what led to the development of the BlackBox.

Palte states “BlackBox is an Internet marketing tool designed to allow CarbonCopyPro associates to sell anything, to anyone, anywhere in the world and to do so while operating within the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines for e-commerce”.

CarbonCopyPro offers internet marketers the instruction and education required to quickly develop a strong and lasting Internet marketing business. It eliminates the overhead traditionally associated with building an Internet marketing business by providing a fully staffed virtual office, business resources, and communication tools, as well as the support and training necessary for each associate to successfully achieve their goals.

CarbonCopyPro operates within a unique business model where associates are encouraged to share their knowledge with one another in the belief that this will ensure the success of everyone within the community. This approach has proven to be more than theoretical as the achievements of CarbonCopyPro and its associates continue to multiply.

Bill Palte is an Internet Marketing Expert looking for students to teach this unique marketing system to and boost their personal income. You can learn more about BlackBOX and Bill’s CarbonCopyPro business at: http://tr.im/emgmpr CarbonCopyPro is currently available in 173 countries and 42 languages.

Much has been written and discussed, usually passionately, about search engine optimization or, as it is known, SEO.  For many years, SEO was purported to be some type of magic that you had to pay someone to handle the details.  The general consensus was that the “normal” person could not handle SEO. To add to this stereotype, the search engines tried to keep an aura of magic in SEO.

Recently, the veil of magic has been lifted.

Much of the “magic” of SEO is really not that magical.  It is more common sense than anything else.  Yes, there are rules that you need to abide by to stay in the good graces of the search engines.  The rules are not magic but you need to change, slightly, the manner in which you present your material.  It is not as simple as just locking in a single keyword. It is learning how to lock in the “feeling” that the search engines are seeking.

Fortunately, in the past several years, many people have worked very hard to educate everyone who wants to learn about the trials and tribulations of SEO.  They have printed and spoke about everything that is required to excel in SEO.  The real advantage of learning from these experts is that they have assembled tools and techniques that shorten the learning curve. Because these people spent their effort to help others, everyone benefits.

So, what is this “magic” that the search engines are seeking?

The easiest way to describe SEO in terms that everyone can understand is “relevancy”. The search engines are looking for more than just a single keyword.  They are looking for a pattern of linking words and phrases that add more “structure” to the keyword.  SEO is also about how to structure of how everything is tied together.

For instance, Google has tools on its search page that will show the relevant words and phrases for a given keyword or phrase. Then Google also will allow you, using their own tools, to further dissect these words and phrases. By completing the research before you construct your site or article, you have a significant advantage over the person that doesn’t understand SEO or doesn’t believe it matters.  Trust me, it does.

The way that you know that your SEO work is doing its job is to do the Google search. When your info show up on the first page of Google … and stays there … you have completed your work successfully.  It gives you great, personal satisfaction when everything falls into place and you get your info ranked over people that have been there for a period of time.

The BEST way to “win” in SEO is to change your mindset to match what the search engines are looking for.  It isn’t magic, it is just following a set of rules, much like most other things in life.  The advantage that you have with SEO is that you have feedback very quickly. If your information doesn’t rank, you didn’t do your homework.  The good part is that you can always rework what you did until you DO get it right.

So, how do you learn SEO correctly?  Easy.  Go to:  http://www.MLMIntegrityMarketing.com to learn how my team and I teach others to utilize these same SEO tools to control our spots on the web.
