When everybody else is recommencing promotions and then spending the "lag time waiting for it to bear fruit, you've already done the hard work and will hit the resumption period running. Can you see how powerful this can be? You haven't missed a beat and it's usually a time when people start looking for opportunities.]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/01/12/internet-network-marketing-businesssuccess-secrets-in-home-business/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/01/06/internet-network-marketing-businesshow-to-make-sure-your-prospects-sign-up/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/01/06/internet-network-marketing-businesshow-to-make-sure-your-prospects-sign-up/#comments Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:41:24 +0000 the silent avatar http://www.silentavatar.com/blog//?p=303 Until you understand what your prospects really want then it's going to be an uphill battle for you. Ann Sieg teaches this in The Renegade Network Marketer and confesses she struggled for a long time before giving her prospects what they wanted. Why Someone Becomes Your Prospect Maybe they saw you as someone who could lead them to the “promised land.” Here’s a cold hard fact…most people looking for a internet network marketing opportunity do so because they have a problem. It’s usually of a financial nature, either lack of current funds or they want to set up a nest egg for the future that they can live from comfortably and provide for their families.]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/01/06/internet-network-marketing-businesshow-to-make-sure-your-prospects-sign-up/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/01/04/what-can-christmas-teach-internet-marketers/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/01/04/what-can-christmas-teach-internet-marketers/#comments Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:24:49 +0000 the silent avatar http://silentavatar.com/blog/?p=309 The silly season of 2008 is now behind us (thank God), however I wanted to share with you my observations as I went about my shopping with the throngs while paying particular attention to the marketing strategies being used amongst the retailers to win business, and how that can translate to online marketing. Quite obviously, Christmas is a bumper time for retailers as they vie for the largest slice of the pie they can when people are willing to open their wallets and spend. The same can be said for online marketing, Pay particular attention to these strategies for boosting revenue and customer numbers:]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2009/01/04/what-can-christmas-teach-internet-marketers/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/21/get-motivated-stay-motivated-part-2/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/21/get-motivated-stay-motivated-part-2/#comments Sat, 20 Dec 2008 23:13:16 +0000 the silent avatar http://silentavatar.com/blog/?p=284 Now if there is one thing I have found about working from home, it is that you have to be disciplined. Even more so if you are "it" (that is, no one else to delegate tasks to).When you work from home distractions come thick and fast, and before long you can find that your day is whittled down to a couple of productive hours interspersed with paying your bills, sending emails to friends, eating, making coffee, shopping, general surfing the Net, and oftentimes playing Solitaire or Spider! Does this sound familiar to you? Even if you are working a full time or part time job to supplement your income, the time you DO have generally reads like the above paragraph (you just don't waste quite as many hours doing it). ]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/21/get-motivated-stay-motivated-part-2/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/18/get-motivated-stay-motivated/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/12/18/get-motivated-stay-motivated/#comments Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:21:45 +0000 the silent avatar http://silentavatar.com/blog/?p=278 There is no such thing as luck. Just desire, a clear goal, and then doing what needs to be done until you get your goal, mixed in with a big dollop of self motivation. Of course we all have tasks we dislike, and this brings me to an revelation which prohibits us from getting where we want to go - self motivation. Some revelation eh?

That’s fine and will get a prospect interested but reality dictates that there must also be a balance. In other words, the prospect needs to understand that sort of income level won’t happen overnight but it will happen if you use the equation we highlighted above…]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/11/29/network-marketing-businesstruth-about-having-a-get-rich-quick-mentality/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/11/in-the-woods/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/11/in-the-woods/#comments Sat, 11 Oct 2008 13:17:49 +0000 the silent avatar http://www.silentavatar.com/blog//?p=122 Putting into affect marketing strategies to fulfill marketing objectives costs money and it's just plain stupidity to think that you can have an online presence and just by the mere fact that you are online and have been indexed by the search engines you will have a successful business.]]> http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/11/in-the-woods/feed/ 0 http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/11/got-what-it-takes/ http://silentavatar.com/blog/2008/10/11/got-what-it-takes/#comments Sat, 11 Oct 2008 08:10:27 +0000 the silent avatar http://www.silentavatar.com/blog//?p=131 I'm continually amazed at the number of people who want to start a business online, yet they have done very little, (or even no research) to back up theviability of their business. Starting any business means knowing what your potential customers want, and the best ways to find out if what you propose to offer is what is needed.
