Learn How to Earn Money from Facebook in a Major Way (even if you have no friends)!

Most internet marketers really limit their income as they don’t understand how to earn money from Facebook.  Facebook being the second most visited website on the internet, and where most people “hang out” these days, it’s obvious that there is money to be made from it’s popularity, but how?  Here’s what most internet marketers preach:

How to Earn Money From Facebook if you want to earn pitance and piss off your friends list!

• Post links to your product websites, or promoting products as status updates and hope that your friends list is big enough and dumb enough to not see you as desperate for their money.
• Go to special interest groups and post your offers as links (hoping that regular people still visit them even though they are now mostly covered in sales links and abandoned by real people).
• Create your own group or business page and get people to join.  This one is good….when you have a huge friend’s list that you actually interact with and that are interested in the same things as you.

You see the problem these ideas on how to earn money from Facebook is they are very limited in two ways:

• People don’t want to spend money or learn about special interests on Facebook.  They typically want to hang out with their actual friends that they know in real life, and be entertained.

• You are totally limited by your circle of influence.  You can’t post status updates that will be seen by thousands if you don’t have thousands of friends.  Even if you do, Facebook maxes out at 5,000 people, so you will always have limited access to everyone else.  Even if you have a business page or group you can only invite people you are already connected with or who already know about your business.

How to Earn Money From Facebook (and I mean the REAL money):

The BEST way how to earn money from Facebook is to not START with Facebook.  Think about what people do when they want to learn something, or look into their special interests, or spend their money online.  They go to Google and other search engines to learn and research.  So you need to get in front of people at the stage when they want your information and will be prepared to buy your products.

Ok….so what does that have to do with how to earn money from Facebook?

You can actually COMBINE the power of Facebook AND the power of Google to make an absolute FORTUNE!

People know Facebook, they like Facebook, and they are used to Facebook.  They are used to hitting “like” buttons and authorizing apps.  You need to grab people from Google and send them back to Facebook to get them to actually look at your products, services, or (if you’re in network marketing) business opportunity.

How Will This Benefit You?

• You can build a list using Facebook apps!  A great way to do this is to have a presentation or video on a topic the people in your niche might be interested in.  In order to view the presentation people have to click an allow button, saying the app is allowed to email them.  This then grows your list.
• The benefit of using Facebook to grow your list is that people know they can unallow the app at any time with the push of a button, they also don’t have to physically enter their name and email which can be a stumbling block for many.  The familiar platform makes them comfortable and not wary of you.
• You will get MANY more people opting in to your list this way as you’ve removed many barriers to signing up
• If you operate using Facebook you don’t even have to set up your own website.  You can use a powerful and popular website to grow your business without even having a site of your own.

Why a List?

• You can do ANYTHING online if you have a good, responsive list.  You simply need a niche and need to keep providing high quality to your list (i.e. good non-sales-y emails!)
• There are many opportunities to make money from a list: promoting your own products, affiliate programs, webinars, joint ventures, paid ads (i.e. people paying you!), etc.
• These days people only buy from those they like and trust, you become this person by interacting with your list and delivering quality info about your niche (with one or two good products promoted)….and guess what, Facebook is THE BEST way to interact with your list as they feel they know you.

How to Earn Money From Facebook: The Nuts and Bolts

Ok…but HOW do you integrate Google and Facebook.

You use article marketing.  You can write great articles and get them to rank on Google (use the afforable link building strategy for this).  It’s actually easy to rank on Google if you know what you are doing (and even easier if you use a website that is already established).

Write articles that target your niche market, and include a link to your Facebook app, as well as a compelling reason to click, at the end of the article. This is internet marketing without needing a website, without needing an autoresponder service, and you can make BIG money doing this!

Setting Up Your Own Facebook App

This is the only tricky part of this how to earn money from Facebook strategy.  I simply joined a team that were working together and using a proven Facebook presentation that actually converts sales DAILY, this way I didn’t have to have the technical know how, or the sales skills to make my own presentation.

But if you do want to set it up, you need to see an example of how this works.  At the bottom of the video you will see a “Powered by” icon which will show you the app you need to set up your own Facebook presentation.  Watch the full video to see the only government approved Facebook money system, learn WHAT sells on Facebook, HOW people are REALLY earning money from Facebook, and see a presentation that is making hundreds of people BIG money daily:  Facebook presentation example.

So now you know How to Earn Money From Facebook, go DO IT!

Article Marketing for SEO – Get to the Front Page of Google and Stay There!

If you are trying to use article marketing for SEO, you probably know the basics of SEO.  But for those of you completely new to article marketing here’s a simplified way to view it.

Article Marketing for SEO starts and ends with backlinks!

Google and other search engines will rank the results that come up in a search based on how closely related they think the site is to the search term.  Lots of backlinks to your article or site will make the search engines view you as more popular and an authority on the topic.  Therefore those with the most backlinks will typically win.

Now there is a lot that goes into SEO, and this is a simplified way of looking at it, but when article marketing for SEO you really need to focus on getting lots of backlinks over time, from different places.

Most people use one or two article submission tools to make this easy.  You submit your article (usually tweaked or “spun” so it’s not just copying the same version) to a blog network or article directory submission service.  You make sure the article is keyword targeted and you link back to your original article. The anchor text (or blue highlighted text) for your link should be the keyword you are targeting.  If this all sounds like Greek to you first read the easy affordable link building strategy article to better understand the overall strategy.

This is where article marketing for SEO stops for most people.  But they leave themselves at a HUGE disadvantage.

Almost all blog networks and article directories allow for two links in the resources box of your article.  Most people use this second link to send people to their squeeze page or just as a general link for their blog.  This is a HUGE mistake.

See your articles don’t rank forever!  The longer it has been since they generated backlinks the less likely they are to rank on Google!  But you can stay on the front page by making one simple tweak.

How I used Article Marketing for SEO to beat out the biggest guru’s and rank my blog on Google’s first page!

You can see in this screenshot that my article for the keyword How to Blog Tutorial is ranked number four on Google against competition of 196,000,000.  This keyword gets searched for 90,500 times per month.  I get a ton of traffic daily from this keyword, and commissions from sales of the recommended tools within the article.

I did this using the power of the second backlink.  When you use your second backlink in your article submission for either a squeeze page or a general page you are wasting it.  Most of your submitted articles go to sites that are very unlikely to rank on google, so it’s a minimal amount of traffic going to those articles.  Don’t use them to send people to a random page.  Use them to get your other articles ranking.

I ALWAYS use the second backlink to retarget a keyword I’ve already targeted.  So, when I write an article where the readers would also benefit from reading the “How to Blog Tutorial” I include a link to that article using the keyword as anchor text.  The first backlink goes to the keyword targeted in the current article, and the second backlink goes to a keyword targeted in an older article (and links to that original article).

This gives me MORE backlinks than the competition (who are typically only building links to each article once).  It also helps Google see my site as an authority as there are backlinks built OVERTIME, not just right after the article comes out.

Using this simple article marketing for SEO technique I have seen my results skyrocket.

I am ranking more easily and it allows me to target keywords that are highly competitive, which leads to more traffic!

Home business ideas for women who want to make it BIG!

Just because your a stay-at-home mom, or out of a job, or miserable in work, doesn’t mean you can’t earn your own income from home!  The following are the top 9 best home business ideas for women, listed from least recommended, to most recommended (for earning big money!)

If you really want to make big money I recommend skipping to the “online home business ideas for women” section, as the internet allows you to scale your efforts.  Any offline business is restricted by your circle of influence as well as your local reach.  Some women do prefer to work offline, and in that case the first section (Offline home business ideas for women) is for you!

Offline Home Business Ideas for Women

9. Crafts and Home Products

This is really just a hobby.  A lot of women (particularly stay at home moms) like to do different arts and crafts.  It is possible to start a business selling your arts and crafts, however this is not going to be a big money maker in most cases.  You would have to find a way to mass produce and get your products into stores, or get a very popular website going to sell your products.  It’s a labor of love and don’t expect to make big money doing this.

8. Home Parties

This would typically be selling lingerie, bags, shoes, etc.  You get a bunch of women together, have food, have a giggle, and let them look through your products placing orders for anything they like!  The downside of home parties is you only make money when you can get a party together, and if you only have a limited circle of influence it will be hard to make steady money. Often you have to purchase the goods to show the women.  The upside is when you do get a party together you can make a decent amount in one go.

7. Sales Rep

Most women know at least one “Avon Lady”.  You can set up as a sales rep for a makeup or similar company.  They send you a magazine to show other women, they tell you what they want, you place the order which gets sent to you and then you deliver.  This is great if you know a lot of women and have a car!  Again you are limited to your sphere of influence and how far you can go to deliver.

6. Providing Services From Your Home

This would involve getting a qualification, but if you have some extra room there’s a lot you can do with it!  You can become a life coach, run a daycare, tutor children, learn massage therapy, etc.  You would want to market your business online so that you can make a good income by having steady clients.  If you have kids you need to consider will you be able to keep set appointments.

Online Home Business Ideas for Women

5. Freelancing

Join a website such as Elance and start doing writing or computer work from home for others.  You can also become a virtual assistant, just remember that the pay in this area is low.  You have to be quick and resourceful to make a decent income at this.  Online “jobs” simply don’t make a lot of money unless you have a specialized skill like web design, etc.

4. Special Interest Blog

This is a slow burner, but lots of fun if you have a particular interest that others share.  Many women have started blogs about childcare, about pregnancy, about home cooking, etc.  You can take the skills you have learned from home and show others how to do the same.  You can then earn advertising revenue from the site traffic (which will be tiny, but will get bigger the more traffic you build!)  The How to Blog Tutorial can show you how to set up a blog quickly and cheaply!

3. Affiliate Marketing

One of the best home business ideas for women as you can make money from other people’s products.  You promote online products (using a blog, social networks, paid ads, etc) that other people have made.  You typically earn 50% and upwards on commission!  Nowadays you can promote continuity program (membership programs) and keep making money every month from the same sale.  This article on affiliate marketing tools can show you more about how to set this up.

2. Network Marketing

Network Marketing, or MLM, is a great way to earn money from home because you can build up a residual income so you don’t have to keep slaving away to make money.  In this you market products for a company, but also promote the business.  You earn money from products you sell, but also products sold by those you brought into the company, and products sold by those THEY brought into the company, and so on.  You can rack up a huge monthly income fairly quickly (expect around 3-6 months working about 2 hours a day).  This article will better explain What is MLM and is it for you.

1. Multiple Streams of Income

The BEST way to make money is to combine several home business ideas for women.  I combine a special interest blog, with affiliate marketing, network marketing, and a Government approved Facebook income system.  This means that if one income stream takes longer to build you can still earn from another.  You will need to connect your income streams through a common niche or interest so that you aren’t splitting your efforts.  This way you can still just work 1-2 hours per day, but be growing several income streams through your efforts instead of just one.  You can learn more about how I do this by watching the Government Approved Facebook Presentation.  It will give you a good idea of what it takes to earn a substantial income from home in this economy.

What is MLM and Can You Make Money From It?

So many people these days misunderstand MLM.  There are so many misconceptions about MLM that it is hard to even understand what is MLM?  MLM simply stands for multi-level marketing.

So what is MLM and how do these companies “market”? MLM companies are usually direct sales companies.  They have independent distributors help them to sell their products, these distributors earn commissions on every product they sell.  Some companies have their distributors purchase the products and then sell them on, and some companies have the customers order directly from the company which then sends the commission to the distributor.

What is MLM – What does “multi-level” even mean?

This simply means that when you refer other people to the business, who want to become a distributor themselves, you will earn money not just from their product purchases but also from the product purchases of those people they refer.  It means that if you recruit a few hard workers you can make money by doing nothing!  The more people you recruit the more money you make.

This becomes multi-level as the commissions often go several levels down!  For example, if you recruit Susan, who recruits Gerry, who recruits Denise, you can still be earning money on the people Denise recruits.  This is why people who work hard make a FORTUNE in MLM.  They leverage themselves by growing huge organizations that make money for them.

As more people join your team, the money you earn goes up at an exponential rate.

What is MLM – The Downsides

MANY people fail in this industry because they don’t understand what they are getting into!  They think they can talk to a few family and friends, get them into business and they will become rich.  Your family and friends often don’t want a business and become uncomfortable when you try to suggest it to them.  Also, if they do get started it is unlikely they will be very motivated (ie, they weren’t actively looking for a business so they will not be as driven as others).  You need to recruit motivated people who will work hard and be successful themselves!

What is MLM – The Benefits

MLM is a cheap way to go into business for yourself.  Unlike franchises you don’t need a huge franchise fee to get started, typically you need around $500 to $2000 to get started (with fees and marketing).

You can do MLM from home!  This is one of the most appealing aspects of MLM.  You can operate your business anywhere you have access to a phone or computer.

You don’t need to do the hard slog forever!  Don’t get me wrong, you have to work HARD at first.  If you want to make significant income you should expect to be working at least one or two hours a day, and the more time you put in the faster you will acheive success.  BUT, once you’ve built a solid team the team works for you, you will get to a tipping point where you get to sit back and let the money come in with very little effort on your part.

People make fortunes in MLM and live the dream lifestyle!  It really is a great way to gain freedom from your job and live life on your terms.

What is MLM – Is MLM For You?

Don’t join an MLM company if you are looking for a hobby.  They can be hard work and you can waste a lot of money buying products and marketing your business if you don’t fully commit.  You need to make sure you are willing to put in a bit of work at the start.

MLM is like any business, it takes time for it to actually gain some traction and go into profit.  If you are ready to free yourself from your circumstances, but don’t have the budget or time to start a brick-and-mortar business MLM is the perfect way to earn.  You can work hard for 6 months, then pull back to working a couple hours a week and free yourself for a lifetime.

What is MLM – How to Find an MLM

You should choose your MLM company based on their products and compensation plan.  You simply need to ensure the products are something you can get excited about and that will excite others.  Look for something you will want to purchase yourself.  When choosing an MLM I went for a product that I knew everyone wants more of and that will gain in value over time (i.e. I will have something that is becoming more valuable instead of just a marketing gimmick).  You can learn more about the MLM I chose by watching our team Facebook presentation.

With compensation plan you simply need to know that it is possible to make money!  Consider what you want.  If you want money quickly go for a program that rewards you upfront (ie larger commissions)  in these programs you typically have less residual income so you have to keep working at them to keep your income.  Or you can go for a more traditional MLM that has more residual income so you can work hard at the start, but earn more money in the long term.

Look for someone you can work with don’t attempt to do MLM alone!  You need to sign up with someone who knows how to be a success in MLM so they can teach you and you can teach the people you recruit!

Regardless of which MLM you choose you need to know how to market it to make money online, and find people for your business (using free online methods).  Sign up for the lead generation bootcamp at the right of this page.  It will show you how to generate free MLM leads regardless of which company you choose to work with.

So What is MLM:  The BEST way to earn a huge income and have the freedom to live the life you truly desire!

The One MLM Secret That Will Take You From Failure To Success!

Anyone looking for an MLM secret is probably struggling in their network marketing business.  They look at the leaders and don’t understand what has set them apart.  I remember myself feeling like the leaders in the industry had some special “MLM Secret” that they were careful to never share with the masses.  It was only when I realized the secret was right in front of me that things began to shift in my business.

So what is the one MLM Secret separating the Winners from the Quitters?

Winners don’t quit.

There is a simple formula you can follow to have pretty much guaranteed success in the MLM industry:

1. Find something that works

Do your research.  Dig in and do some sleuthing work on top leaders in the industry (don’t limit it to just your company).  Figure out what strategy they use that would work for you.  Avoid worrying that they have some secret edge that you don’t by finding several people who use the same strategy and finding what they all have in common.

2. Learn your strategy

Learn everything you can about your chosen strategy! Don’t get sidetracked trying to do Facebook marketing, article marketing, ppc, etc; all at the same time!  This means you will never master any strategy and none of them will work very well.  Become a specialist in your strategy.  Pick up tools that will make this strategy work better for you (and avoid constantly buying tools for many different strategies).

3. Do Something DAILY

The real MLM secret is that every single top earner had to pay for their position in their organization.  No that doesn’t mean they bought in at the top, it means they had to WORK HARD.  People get lured into the industry on the promises of easy money with almost no work.  If you want to make big money in this industry it simply does not work that way.

All top earners started from nothing at some stage in their MLM career.  The common factor is they were consistent in their work.  They figured out a way to market their business and then they kept doing it until they were successful!

That’s it!  It really is as simple as just NOT QUITTING and WORKING HARD.  It’s a sad truth that if you decide to be lazy or treat your business as a hobby you are unlikely to ever be a success.  But it’s amazing when you realize that the real MLM secret is that everyone can be successful if they are willing to do whatever it takes to get there.

To apply this MLM Secret you need to set yourself up for success!

If you are low on money set up a funded proposal to keep money coming in as you build.  Make sure you pick a strategy that will bring you free leads (I suggest learning article marketing as it will establish an asset for you as you grow and brings in the highest quality free leads) and be willing to put in the work that takes!  If you are low on time pick a paid option that takes less input, try to pick a paid option that is not hugely overwhelming to learn (for example, consider picking Facebook PPC instead of Google PPC).

Your next step is to learn how to generate your own leads so you can get working and become a success as quickly as possible!  Sign up for the Lead generation bootcamp at the right of this page to learn a complete start to finish strategy that will bring you free leads and establish you as a leader in the industry (warning, this bootcamp covers free methods not PPC or other paid ads).

Easy MLM Blog Training, SEO for the Beginner.

When you first look into MLM Blog training the idea of SEO (or Search Engine Optimization) can be incredibly intimidating.  However, if you are planning on operating an MLM blog that will actually show up on the search engines it’s something you need to know about!  A small amount of SEO could mean the difference between your MLM blog showing up on the first page of Google, and someone else’s instead.

I like to keep my MLM blog training very simple.  The more simple your work is, the more you can crank out!  I’m not an internet marketing technical guru, I learn enough to get my blog pages to rank on Google and then I simply work on writing articles.  And guess what, just using a few simple SEO tactics mean that a huge amount of my articles are ranking on page one of Google for highly competitive keywords!

Below are a few simple rules to follow to help make your MLM blog rank on Google.

MLM Blog Training – Stupid Simple SEO

1. Title Matters!

Make sure your article title includes your keyword.  The closer it is to the start of the title the better (for example in this article I have targeted the keyword “mlm blog training”, so I put it right at the start).  You still want to ensure that your title makes sense and is catchy as this is what will make people click on your link instead of someone else’s!

2.  Keyword Density

You want your keyword to show up about once per every hundred words!  This does not mean that it needs to be evenly spaced throughout your articles, but it should be about 1% of your total article.  You should include the keyword in the first and last sentence of the article.  Try not to go above 2% unless you are targeting a “shorttail” keyword (a shorttail keyword would be one or two words like “MLM” and longtail would be “mlm blog training”).  You want to ensure the search engine knows your article is very relevant to the keyword, but not have it look spammy and unreadable.

Also remember, if your keyword density is too high it will distract your readers and is off-putting.  You want them to feel like they are just getting info, not being targeted.

3.  Simple Tags

One thing that makes your keyword more relevant is that it shows up in prominent places within your article.  So you want to ensure that it is in a H1, H2, and H3 title.  For example you will see that the first sentence of this article is “Easy MLM Blog Training, SEO for the Beginner.” This is an H1, or Heading 1 tag making it a heading within your article.  You will also want to bold, italic, and underline your keyword in different places in your article.

4. Don’t Give Away Your Keyword Power

If you link to an external website in your article make sure you don’t send them “link juice” for your targeted keyword.  This is as simple as adding the text rel=”nofollow” to any external link you make (this would go after a href=”webaddress” and before the “>”.

5. Add  a picture

Include a picture of some kind.  This will actually make your article easier to read and more appealing, but will also help with your blog’s SEO.  The alternate text for your picture should be your keyword.

6. Your Permalink Matters

The link for your article should include your keyword.  Often blogs are set to show the date as part of the link for a particular article.  I have mine set to automatically be the article title.  For many of my articles I delete part of the title from the link to make it simply be the keyword.  This makes it seem super relevant to search engines.  In this article I left the longer link as I may target MLM blog training again in a future article.

MLM Blog Training: How to Make this Even Easier!

Even thought this SEO is easy and simple, it still is time consuming! I use a simple Blog Plug-in to make this easier.  It will tell me how high my SEO score is, if I need to add more of the keyword, if I need to add any tags, or rel=nofollow, etc.  It automatically does the bold, italic, and underline of my keyword for me, calculates keyword density and adds the alt-text to the picture.  In short it means my article gets automatically SEO’d without me having to worry that I’m forgetting a crucial part.

This short video will demonstrate how SEOpressor works: Seopressor Demo

You don’t have to use it, but if you are serious about getting your MLM Blog to rank on Google I would definitely consider this as it will automate your SEO.
