What Is An MLM Funded Proposal?

Funded Proposals are the holy-grail of marketing.

If you've been smart enough to gain access to the proven online Funded Streamline Sponsoring course and system, you're already familiar with this concept, and it has most likely changed the way you build your network marketing business.If you haven't been introduced to funded proposals yet, then pay real close attention to this article post...
The Funded Proposal concept is the sole reason I went from failure in this industry to success virtually overnight, and it's what the biggest most successful network marketers in the industry have been using to build their legacy's for years.It's what the entire Funded Streamline Sponsoring system is based upon. It's allowed thousands of MLM distributors from hundreds of different companies bridge the gap from going broke in their business, to making a profit.
Basically a funded proposal is the process of selling an inexpensive, but useful product on the front end such as the "Funded Streamline Sponsoring" course, or "FREE Leads 4 Life - The 30 Day Step-By-Step Action Plan" to cover your advertising and marketing expenses. Then back-ending the real product or "opportunity, which would be your MLM/Network Marketing opportunity.
Really what it allows you to do is, dive into paid forms of marketing like pay-per-click, Ezine solo ads etc. and still advertise for free. Now, if you were to try these (and others) different forms of paid advertising without using a funded proposal, we would spend quite a bit of money generating leads for our businesses at an average cost of probably $3.00 to $12.00 each. We wouldn't be making a penny of that back until we acquire (sell) a customer or distributor into our primary business. Unless, of course you're one of the 3% that are really good at turning leads into distributors, you're going to go broke REALLY quickly.
So here's the rule to follow and give yourself a chance...If you are building a network marketing business today in the information/Internet age, and you want to get into forms of paid advertising (which produce fast results), always use a funded proposal.

ALWAYS!

Generate Quality MLM Prospects Through A MLM Funded Proposal

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

Finding quality MLM prospects is becoming increasingly expensive and then converting those prospects to sign-ups or sales even more difficult. MLM prospects are often overly skeptical and hesitant to join a new company if they have been ripped off in the past, lost a lot of money, or simply failed to succeed.

The good news is that there is certainly no shortage of people looking for ways to earn extra money and start a home-based business through network or multilevel marketing.

The opportunity is unlimited. The prospects are there and those who are successful in this business find ways to decrease prospecting costs while at the same time increasing sales.

Introducing the MLM funded proposal.

The MLM funded proposal is probably by far one of the most effective tools in a network marketer’s arsenal of marketing strategies.

The funded proposal is simply a lead generation system that turns prospects into committed customers by first selling them an inexpensive product on the front end and then using that product to educate, build a working relationship with, and sell the customer on the bigger MLM opportunity.

In the MLM industry one of the most common front end products to use is an informational product or e-book. These types of products can be produced fairly inexpensively and once created make for pure profit when sold. By selling an informational product (funded proposal) on the front end marketer is able to have the prospects actually cover his or her marketing costs. So therefore essentially the funded proposal is a mechanism for generating extremely low cost or sometimes even profitable leads.

The MLM funded proposal can be a very powerful marketing strategy for targeting those who might already be involved with an MLM opportunity but are not having success or are not happy with the current company they're involved with.

For example you might produce an informational product that is tied to how to be more successful in network marketing or how to find targeted MLM leads. This is a popular topic among an MLM funded proposals because it is one of the most difficult problems facing MLM marketers. Thousands of people are online every day searching for something that is going to help them turn their business into the profitable cash machine they've always dreamed of.

Selling these prospects on how to be successful in their current network marketing business is much easier than selling them on the idea of quitting their current company and signing up with a new MLM company. Therefore they are much more open to paying a low price for an informational product (MLM funded proposal) that promises to help them be more successful.

Once they have purchased your informational product you can start building a relationship with them , not only through the content of e-book, but also through e-mail auto-responder campaigns . Even prospects who have been unsuccessful in the MLM industry before are going to be much more open to following your lead or recommendations on another MLM opportunity after you have built that relationship and credibility.

The MLM funded proposal is your ticket to unlimited targeted MLM leads that have proven that they are willing to spend money on the right opportunity.

If you would like to find a great funded proposal to use there is one I would really recommend:

Make The Jump To Home Business Success

If you are going to have a home business success, you need 3 “intangibles.” These are things that must come from WITHIN you.

===> Intangible 1 <===

First, you must have a strong WHY.

Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN’T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn’t stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone’s time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children’s lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

===> Intangible 2 <===

You must BELIEVE that it is possible.

If you don’t believe that it’s POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home business or make your living from home, you won’t. It’s that simple. For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from home. If they could do it, I could too.

It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation. There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online and do some research and you’ll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you’ll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it’s getting easier and easier to make money with your own home business.

I’ve always said that “affiliate marketing” (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the future. In the “old” days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the “job” of the future that’s already here TODAY.

===> Intangible 3 <===

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim… This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with a home business.

That’s backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is that home business success is a moving target… The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can’t learn from the outside… You have to be IN THE RING to truly understand it.

The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home business. You simply have to start one. It’s like having children… You’re never really ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow. This is what I call “Making the Leap.”

The good news is that the cost of failure with having your own home business is very small. In the “brick and mortar” world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It’s almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for MUCH less.

You simply need get IN THE GAME… Each moment that you stay “out there,” you’re wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to build a successful home business. In fact, if you’re not in the game yet, you’re ALREADY behind the times. Make the leap to creating a home business success today!

Taxes, What Is On Everyone's Mind Right Now!

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

Let's talk about one of the top benefits of Owning Your Own Home-Based Business.
Tax Incentives. Many people overlook this very important benefit but it can make a huge difference for you come Income Tax Day.

Running a business out of your home can save you up to $5,000 or more on your taxes every year even if you don't have success!Here are just some of the things you can write off:

--- Your business start-up costs


--- A portion of your house payment or rent


--- A portion of your utilities


--- Car expenses


--- Travel


--- Meals


--- Magazine subscriptions


--- Child care


--- Telephone bills


--- Postage


--- Office equipment (need a new computer?)


--- Software


--- Bank fees


--- Your Internet service The list goes on......


Many of these things you have and pay for anyway. But now that you can operate a business from home, they become a tax write off.

You can even pay your kids to work for you and write it off. Now that's a smart way to save for college.

Of course you'll want to consult your accountant as laws vary from state to state, country to country and year to year, but I can promise you this: having a home-based business will help keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket instead of The Tax Man's. Seriously, I don't understand why everyone doesn't start a home business? It must just be a lack of education in this area.

Get educated, it's worth a GUARANTEED #3,000 to $5,000 a year in tax savings or more...Here are the tremendous tax advantages from our business and you can instantly have them too:http://lifetimeincome.net/assets/video/cantx2/index.html

I realize it can be a big decision to start a home business. But, please don't hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions or just want to discuss options. Until next time.

Choosing The Right Network Marketing Company

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

So you are looking for a home based business, where do you start?? The very first thing you need to think about is what company do I want to start my home based business with? Many consumers are looking for something other than a traditional work at home business. A lot required a great new concept and a lot of upfront capital that consumers are not will to shell out or take a chance on during this struggling economy. No need to worry though, there are still a lot of great options out there for consumers who either want to replace their income or to supplement their income.


Consumers have turned to a lot of direct selling or network marketing companies for their home based business. There are many reasons for that. Most of them do not require a large upfront investment and have products already set and ready for you. Many of them also have marketing steps in place where you just fall in to place. When you look at the "home party businesses" such as candle companies, housewares, make up companies they can be great for a small profit. They also usually require a very small set up fee. Usually anywhere from $50-$75. The thing about these companies they are a very small income return. You usually make the difference in what a product's price is and how much you sell it for. You also can have a hard time in the world we are now in of the "home party girl". I don't know about you but as a mom and just women and general how many home parties do you want to go to!! Do you want to be that girl that people avoid!:) It's not all bad though, if you are looking for a small income in just a little bit of extra time this may be the way to go. Plus a lot of stay at home moms do enjoy them because it gets them out of the house and they meet new people.


The next area of home based business I would like to talk about is the network marketing or social marketing as it's sometimes referred to now industy. In times of recession or economic downfall these areas seem to continue to boom. There are a lot of reasons that go in to this. The network marketing industry offers residual income that the home party businesses don't offer. What does residual income mean? It means you basically do the work once and continue to earn a portion of that income forever. You enroll one person and you continue to earn on that one person. A lot of the the leading network marketing companies already have a lot of business plans in place or marketing plans. Now with the network marketing industry there can be a bigger up front cost. Most range from $200-$500, but I have seen it be as high as $1000. Let me tell you now there is no reason to pay $1000 to start your home based business. Find something in the middle of the road and of course the compensation plan can be important too. Don't get wrapped in that too much though. Most of the leading companies in the industry do have some great comp plans but the products are very important. Don't EVER pick a company that has either one product or one product line. That limits a lot of the consumers out there because you may think this one product is the best thing under the sun but will everyone see that? Will everyone need that one product enough to make yourself a decent profit?


When I started looking for a home based business I did choose the network marketing industry. Now I will tell you up front that almost all of these companies in this day and age do offer you a website to drive orders from whether it's a home party business, make up business or network marketing. But be careful with that. If you are using a replicated website and marketing online that website is not going to look very original because remember you are not the only one marketing it.

So now you have some more information sit back and think about all of the different options that are out there, how much money you want to make, and how much money you want to put in to start up costs.

Until next time,
