The reason why most people have problems with their network marketing business is because they don’t truly understand how the industry works. Often, this is because they were sold a pack of lies from some company that reeled them in on false hopes and promises. Some simply joined because they were sold on the idea that they could quit their job and work from home if they just buy a distributorship and call some leads.
It’s a classic scam; you are told a lot of promises in the beginning about what a great opportunity it is, how you don’t need any experience to begin with and you will be have a residual income working hard for the first few years. However, once you are inside, you will face many challenges and realise that there is no truth in it.
Mind you this business is fun and simple if you let it be, but it will take the tenacity, dedication, and professionalism to earn six figures incomes.
Did you know that 95% of people who get into network marketing have no prior sales experience?
The majority of the people who join this industry do so without the Continue Reading

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is one of the Internet’s oldest protocols still utilised today. Developed by Dr David Mills from the University of Delaware, it has been in constant use and continually updated since 1985. NTP is a protocol designed to synchronize the clocks on computers and networks across the Internet or Local Area Networks (LANs).
NTP uses an algorithm (Marzullo’s algorithm) to synchronise time on a network using time scales like UTC (Coordinated Universal Time or Temps Universel Coordonné) and can support such features as leap seconds – added to compensate for the slowing of the Earth’s rotation.
NTP (version 4 being the latest) can maintain time over the public Internet to within 10 milliseconds (1/100th of a second) and can perform even better over LANs with accuracies of 200 microseconds (1/5000th of a second) under ideal conditions.
NTP time servers work within the TCP/IP suite and rely on UDP (User Datagram Protocol). A less complex form of NTP called Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) that does not require the storing of information about previous communications, needed by NTP, is used in some devices and applications where high accuracy timing is not as important and is Continue Reading

Do you have an attitude problem in your network marketing business? If so, read on.
Many times I have observed network marketers getting down on themselves and the industry as a whole. What usually happens is these frustrated networkers give the entire network marketing industry a bad reputation.
They are usually the people you see displaying ads all over the Internet saying “MLM Scam”, “MLM Lies”, or “MLM Sucks”.
These people are the first to blame others rather than blame themselves for their failure. It is unfortunate, but this is human nature. It’s incredibly hard to admit that we’ve made mistakes.
However, taking full responsibility for our failures is incredibly powerful. It liberates us and keeps us on the upward curve to massive success. You might have heard of the phrase “fail forward”. This is so true.
For example, let’s say you join a network marketing company and start your business. Let’s also say that you have no prior business experience or have never worked for yourself outside of a job.
What do you think your odds of achieving massive success in 60 days will be? For the average person the answer would be Continue Reading

Since its appearance, the internet and worldwide web has attracted a lot of attention. One of the main benefits is that no matter what the size of the business, whether large or small, the same amount of exposure can be gained by both. It can be an inexpensive and cost effective medium to use in today’s high tech business world. Essentially the internet can be considered a huge sales channel aimed at the consumer. An incredible amount of exposure can be gained through the internet, with a business owner reaching millions of potential customers.

Well for those of you not in network marketing yet, he was the first to come up with a system for effective network marketing. For 20 years mlm companies have been selling people a bill of goods.

Copyright (c) 2008 Wes Fernley With security being a topic on most peoples’ minds, many wonder what the best way is to monitor their home and belongings. Various security systems exist and using a combined home security system with surveillance cameras can add extra protection against intruders. IP Network Camera Placement Choosing the location to install your IP surveillance cameras should be researched and tested. The location should have a broad viewing angle of the area you are looking to monitor. If multiple IP cameras are required to view the whole room, be sure to place them where they don’t overlap, however, to catch every aspect of the room. Lighting is also a concern. The room should have sufficient lighting allowing the IP camera to have a clear vision of what is happening and who is intruding. When purchasing an IP camera for low lit rooms, be sure to check the lux rating. The lower the lux rating of the IP camera, the better picture it will give in low light. If the room is completely dark, purchasing an infrared (IR) sensitive IP camera would be wise as these can work in zero lighting conditions. Wireless Connectivity One of the Continue Reading

When you mention the words network marketing or multi level marketing, you can sometimes feel a shield of steel rise the moment you mention the phrase as it conjures up fear in people that they are about to be subjected to a prolonged half an hour of hard selling tactics, miracle cure vitamins and an offer to seek out a hotel conference room next Thursday at 8.00pm when all will become clear about the amazing opportunity that leads to financial freedom.
The funny thing about being part of the network marketing industry is that it has an image problem. It has a history of being full of pit-bull type salespeople who seem to have no fear of anyone or anything, let alone rejection, which is the number one fear for most people. Do not forget the leaders in this business spend hours simply being rejected just to count down the numbers to their known conversion rate of 2 or 3 yes replies from the 200 or more previous no responses.
Objection handling is an art-form and a necessary part of the sales process, but you have to question the sometimes over zealous tactics of the pit-bulls in the Continue Reading
