Forum marketing is a great way to meet other network marketers as well as get the word out about your business to future prospects. The key to getting the most out of forum marketing is knowing where to market. If you’re spending your time on a forum without enough people it can be a huge waste of time. Here is our list of the top 10 best forums for network marketers. You should know that not all of these forums are for network marketing. Many of them are for internet marketing in general.
Also it’s important to remember that if you want to be effective with forum marketing you absolutely can not spam them! People hate spam and that is not what forums are for.
So with all that being said here are the top 10 online forums for network marketers…
1. MLM Forums (http://www.mlmforums.com/) This forum is a good resource for all network marketers. Because it is dedicated specifically to network marketing and MLM you can feel free to discuss your opportunity and learn from others.
2. Internet Marketing Bulletin Board (http://www.internetmarketingbulletinboard.com/) This is a good forum to promote your business on. It can sometimes get slow but a good resource non the less.
3. Home Business Online Forums (http://www.homebusinessonline.com/community/forum/) If you’re in a home based business you should defiantly check this one out!
4. Free Advertising Forum (http://www.freeadvertisingforum.com/) This forum is strictly dedicated to advertising your business. It’s not for chit chatting it’s strictly about the ads.
5. Internet Marketing Forums (http://www.internetmarketingforums.net/) The name pretty much says it all. These forums are dedicated to internet marketing so if you want to learn more about marketing your business online these are a great place to learn and market.
6. Business Know How Forums (http://www.businessknowhow.com/forum/) These forums are defiantly worth spending some time on. They’re not the biggest and the best but they’re a good place to market.
7. Internet Based Moms (http://internetbasedmoms.com/bb/) If you’re a woman who wants to connect with other work at home moms IBM is a great forum to check out. It’s not as busy as some of the others but it has some great information on there and it’s a great place to promote your site!
8. Digital Point Forums (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/) This is a good place to learn about marketing your business online.
9. The Work At Home Mom Forum (http://www.wahm.com/forum/) Obviously if you’re not a mom or more importantly a woman this might not be the forum for you. However, if you are a woman who is or wants to be working from home this is a great resource.
10. The Warrior Forum (http://www.warriorforum.com/) This forum is the best forum for internet marketing that I have come across online. The wealth of information on this forum is overwhelming. So sit back and read as much as you can. This is not a forum specifically for network marketers so keep that in mind when posting.

Secret Number One: Network marketing allows you to get rich with a lot less effort
Don’t get me wrong. Network marketing takes effort. However, it doesn’t take nearly as much effort as working at a job for 10, 20 or 30 years! If you want to make 6 figures and you want to make it while you’re still young enough to enjoy it network marketing is perfect for you.
Secret Number Two: Network marketing allows you to get rich a whole lot faster
I’m sure you’ve heard the speech about how important it is to pay your dues. Work hard enough and long enough and the success will come. Well network marketing allows you to get rich in less time than it takes someone to earn a 4 year degree.
Secret Number Three: Network marketing is so easy anyone can do it
Your boss would love for you to believe that you can’t be successful working from home. However, the truth is that anyone regardless of background or education can be extremely successful. You don’t have to be extra special or any certain type of personality literally anyone can get rich with network marketing if they really want to.
Secret Number Four: Network marketing isn’t a gamble
Your boss would love for you to believe that network marketing is such a big gamble that people would be crazy to take the chance. However, when you learn how to market effectively online and you put in the time and effort network marketing really isn’t a gamble at all.
The truth is that if you are willing to put in the time and effort network marketing really isn’t a gamble at all. At least no more of a gamble than working at a job and trying to climb the corporate ladder.
So now you know the truth. Don’t say we never told you!

How to Make the Best Youtube Videos for your Business
Video is a powerful medium and it works for huge companies when they advertise during the superbowl and it can work for your home based business on online sites like Youtube. So how do you get the most out of your online videos? Here are a few ways to make better you tube videos and get the most out of online video marketing.
First of all lets talk about length. The perfect Youtube video should be between 3 and 5 minutes. Any shorter and it will seems like you don’t have any value and any longer and people will start to tune out. So no more long 9 minute videos rambling on and on about your business keep it short!
Also, Youtube is not the place to give out all the information about your business. You don’t have to do the entire sales pitch. The main point behind a Youtube video is to get the person interested enough to either pick up and phone and call you or visit a website that will have more detailed information. That’s why you want to keep your videos short and interesting. You don’t want to go into a lot of detail because you can talk about that later. Just peak their interests, that’s enough.
Another good tip is that funny is always good. There are a million videos out there of people sitting in a boring office at a boring desk talking about boring things. If you really want to get peoples attention try to add some humor and craziness to your video that way people will remember you, they might pass your video on and they’ll probably be interested in at least finding out more about you or your business.
The final tip is to use keywords in your description and your title. The keywords will help people to find your videos. There are so many Youtube videos that if you don’t use keywords you might not end up getting very many views. So really do your research before you post your video and use keywords that people will be searching for.
I hope that these tips help you get a lot of views and gain a ton of prospects by using Youtube or any other online video site.

Is Network Marketing A Scam? An Honest Review Of This Controversial Industry
If you have been wanting to work from home for a while you’ve probably taken a good look at network marketing. But what’s hard about trying to get information about this industry is that everyone seems to have very different opinions about network marketing, if it works and if it’s really even legal. So I set out to write an article about the truth about network marketing. There is no sales pitch here and I have no agenda other than letting the truth be out there. So here goes…
Network marketing is a simple and completely legal form of business. It pretty much works like this. You have a product that you market and while you’re doing that you’re also building a team of more people who want to market that product. By building a team of people who are marketing the products for you, they make money and you make money.
This all sounds simple enough so why do so many people believe that network marketing is a scam. I believe it’s for two reasons.
The first reason is that it costs money to get started in almost all network marketing companies. This causes a whole lot of confusion for people who are use to having jobs. A home based business like network marketing is just that… a business. It’s not a job and that’s where the confusion really lies I believe. Jobs don’t cost money to start, but businesses do. So if you are going to be involved in network marketing you need to be aware of the fact that you’re going to be starting your own business.
The second thing that is hard for some people to deal with is that network marketing is almost completely driven by commission. Commissions from the products you sell and commissions from bringing people into the business with you. So if you’re not working you’re not going to make any money. Unlike a job where you can show up, do very little and still get paid. (at least for a while before they fire you! )
So when you combine those two things, the fact that you have to pay to get started and the fact that your success is not guaranteed if you don’t work, people tend to get confused and call it a scam. But it’s really not at all.
In fact if you are looking for a way to make money from home and have an unlimited income there is no better way of doing that then network marketing.

Are You Setting Yourself Apart?
Are You Setting Yourself Apart From The MLM Crowd?
Let’s face it. There are a ton of people in network marketing today and for the most part they’re all offering the same thing.
Work from home, spend more time with your family, make six figures, take better vacations, be your own boss….
So if you’re going to jump into the home based business game you have to ask yourself something. What is going to set you and your business apart from everyone else?
Now before you say your product let me stop you right there. A product is never what gets someone into a home based business. Yes, some products are better than others. And yes, some products will have better conversion than others. However, what really gets someone truly excited about a home based business isn’t the great product it’s the great opportunity.
You can have the lamest product in the history of network marketing but if you can teach me how to make $100,000 a year with it I’m in!
What sets you apart for the other people in your company and all the other people in all the other companies out there is what is going to be the difference between success and failure.
This is especially true for people who want to build their home based business on the internet. There is so much work from home stuff online that if you don’t have a clear niche or a smart gimmick to make you stand out you will be lost in the endless sea of spam.
So now that you know you need something how do you go about getting it?
Well first I would tell you to think about who you are because 9 times out of 10 that’s the key to unlocking your perfect niche!
Maybe you’re a single mom who wants to stay home with her three kids.
Maybe you’re a blue collar worker who is tired of working hard all his life and having little to show for it.
Maybe you’re a teacher who loves the kids but hates the teeny tiny paycheck.
Maybe you’re a college student who doesn’t want to get a crappy part time job but instead is working from your dorm room to pay for school.
Whatever it is that makes you you… play that up!
If you’re a stay at home mom you should be talking to other stay at home moms! If you’re someone who has been in 10 different network marketing companies but you’re still trying to create true wealth you should be talking to people whose stories are similar. And if you’re a young 20 something you shouldn’t be trying to sell 40 year olds on the concept of working from home you should be talking to young adults just like you!
You don’t have to be all things to all people. Find who you are and what makes your story special and use that as the gimmick that will set you far apart from the network marketing heap.
Set yourself apart and be authentically you and building your business will become a breeze!

Are Your Fears Holding You Back?
Are you afraid of failing in your home based business?
Let me ask you something even more disturbing.. Are you afraid to SUCCEED in your home based business?
Whatever your fears are they could seriously be holding you back from greatness. Whether we want to admit it or not fear is a huge motivator. If you’re being motivated by fear of any kind you can never truly be successful in your business.
Here are the two major forms of fear and how to stop them!
Fear Of Failure
Fear of failure is a very common thing. Almost all people are afraid of failing on some level. However, the people I am talking about are the people who let their fear cripple them to the point where they don’t do anything at all. They are afraid to take a risk in any capacity because they are afraid if they do they will fail. This type of fear will never allow you to accomplish anything wonderful in your life. It will stop you every chance it gets. That’s why you have to stop IT first.
How To Overcome It!
Unfortunately there really is no easy way to face this type of fear. The only think you can really do is stare fear in the eyes and do whatever it is your afraid to do anyway. You also have to give yourself permission to mess up from time to time. Just because you don’t sign up the first few people you talk to doesn’t mean you’re a failure. In fact the only way you can really fail is if you give up and quit. If you refuse to do that failing is just not an option at all!
Fear Of Success
Nobody in their right mind would really honestly believe that they are afraid of success however many people truly are. People place all kinds of limitations on themselves. Many people believe that they will only ever be able to make $40,000 or $50,000 a year and so the idea of exceeding that scares them a bit. I know it sounds crazy but it’s really much more common than we’d like to believe.
How To Overcome It!
Realize that you have no limitations except the ones you put on yourself. If you put your ceiling at $75,000 how do you ever expect to make it to $100,000? You can’t… it’s impossible. But, as soon as you raise that ceiling and give yourself permission to be excellent you will be!
Don’t let fear control your life and your business anymore. Gain control from fear and doubt and your business will be much more likely to succeed!
