Do you need a feather duster every time you decide to move that box of business cards that you got when you started your business?  That means you’re not maximizing one of the best tools you have to promote yourself.  You’ve probably already given one or more to every person you know, so you’re not sure what else you’re supposed to do with them.  The key is to think outside of the box and be creative because those little two inch by three inch pieces of card stock might be your best promotional tool.

What are some things you could do with business cards to grow your business?  Well, there are a lot of possibilities.  You know those big bulletin boards in grocery stores, sandwich shop, and cafes, put cards on them and not just one, stick a few up there.  Ask your hair salon if you can leave a few on the magazine table.  Check with medical professionals, accountants and any other business you visit regularly if you can leave a few cards for other clients to see and pick up if they are interested.  Drop one of your cards in every fish bowl drawing you see.  After all, you never know who might be going through those cards later for the drawing.  You’ve seen the big boards in businesses with stacks of cards from various businesses. Get your cards onto one.  These are generally owned and stocked by a company, so find out how to contact that company and sign a contract with them.  It is usually a fairly inexpensive way to get someone to do some of the leg work for you.

Once you’ve saturated the obvious market with cards, create a way to distribute them to the less obvious and less accessible market.  Create or buy a mailing list within a specific geographic area and send a letter introducing yourself and your product or service and include a business card in every letter.  Contact local charities and establish giveaways that benefit those charities.  Make sure your cards are attached to every piece of correspondence or gift that goes out in relationship to the drive on which you are working with the charity.

Business cards are sometimes a neglected tool, but they can be one of your best business assets.  People hold onto business cards and you never know when they are going to decide they need your product or service and go looking for your card, so make sure you are getting them out.

MLM positions are often touted as a way to earn a lot of money very quickly with minimal effort.  After all, everyone will want to jump on that particular wagon.  Unfortunately, this isn’t necessarily the case.  MLM companies can be an avenue to make significant amounts of money and they generally offer the freedom of being your own boss.  They do, however, require an amazing amount of work and dedication to actually reach this potential.

Beyond the hopeful lure of instant money, there are often hidden caveats as well.  Many times these companies will require reaching a certain level before they will cut a check to you.  They may require that you have a certain number of recruits and reach a particular dollar amount in sales amongst you and your downline before they pay you.  Generally, the money will be credited to you, but held until the specific milestone is reached.  If it is a company that requires a buy in, but spreads payment of the buy in across your first sales and recruits, then your first pay day may be delayed until you’ve paid the buy in.  If products are advanced to you without purchase, your initial earnings may become a reimbursement to the company for the product advancements.  Some companies pay on a specified time table as well.  In these situations, they may provide payment only on a certain date each month or after a stated period of time, like quarterly.

Any of these scenarios may impact your payday.  Regardless of what part of the fine print impacts when you will be paid, you have to understand that significant effort on your part will be required to fulfill the dream of becoming rich with through multi-level marketing.  It is certainly attainable, but requires tenacity and patience.  You will have to be out there every day promoting yourself, your product and your company to make the paydays what you envision.  It’s not easy, nor is it quick, but it is possible.  We’ve all heard the old cliché, “you reap what you sow”.  This notion is truer with MLM businesses than almost anywhere else because your paycheck is completely dependent upon your individual effort.

We all know that there are countless multi-level marketing companies in the business world, but the newest facet is storming the business world.  These companies are starting up almost daily and offering all sorts of different products.  They are referred to as pre launch MLM companies and they are hitting the market so fast they might cause you whiplash.

These are multi-level marketing companies that are just beginning and don’t have a lot of capital to get started.  They offer a great deal to those that jump on their bandwagon before the “official” launch of their company.  The deal is most often in the form of free membership to those that join early.  If you’re familiar with MLM systems, this probably seems like a great opportunity because you’re getting in on the ground floor, which likely means higher income for you.  The company leverages that theory to bring in dedicated MLM associates to begin building the structure and creating the buzz necessary to make the real launch worthwhile.  This all happens before the company has to start paying for much overhead, product distribution and associate compensation.

Win-win situation, right?  Well, this is where the whiplash part comes in.  First, the companies are starting so quickly that they are inundating the market.  How do you choose which is the best option?  The oversaturation causes its own problems.  It spreads the base of folks that are really interested and talented in the form of MLM very thin.  It has the potential to overwhelm the buyers with too many options.  It overburdens the sources of capital for start up businesses.  All of these aspects may lead to sacrificing the stability of the company, which in turn means that the company may go out of business almost as quickly as it came on the scene.  After all, the Small Business Administration statistics show that consistently only 50% of small businesses survive past the first five years.

There are steps you can take to prevent the neck injuries of MLM whiplash caused by a collision with a pre launch.  Start by knowing exactly what you’re getting into by doing as much research as you can and asking plenty of questions.  Before taking the plunge, make sure you have the beginnings of a network to bring into the system.  Remember that people make MLM’s succeed, so be sure you are willing to dedicate yourself to the company and the product to help make it succeed long term.

Educational toys, juice drinks, health products, energy building chocolate, make up, kitchen utensils, cleaning products, and so on, multi-level marketing companies are a dime a dozen and most are just like the next one.  Most of these companies are built on the concept of a product that is consumable and will require repurchase to replenish supply with the intent of creating a built in clientele, but people easily grow tired of these purchases.  Finally, there is a company that is completely different and not only provides a product people want and will want to keep, but one that appreciates in value.  The Numis Network is built around money.  Now, you’re probably thinking every MLM is built around money and that’s true, but this one is different.  Numis Network sells money.

What could be better, right?  You’re selling money to make money.  How does it work?  The company is built on the premise of numismatics, which is the study or collection of currency.  With this company, it is specifically the collection of coins, graded gold and silver coins.  By specializing in these types of coins, there are three ways for people involved in the company to benefit.  They can sell coins to people outside of the Numis Network, they can buy coins for their personal collection at a discounted rate, and they can sponsor new members to the network and benefit from their sales.

Aside from the basics of a traditional MLM company, Numis Network offers two levels of customers and two levels of associates.  This provides those participating with a variety of options to increase their income and propel themselves up the ladder.  Speaking of income, there are also several ways aspects to the compensation plan, starting with base commission and expanding to income through your downline sales, and a number of bonus compensation systems.  In addition, the company makes it simple for the program to work for you.  They provide extensive training aids and videos, personal websites for sales and lead generation, a simple to use back office system, and a business building system that includes lead capture tools.

Numis Network has it all.  The product is fantastic because it provides lasting and appreciating value to the customer, plus its inherent value makes it practical and simple for the associates to market and sell.  The support, training and business systems are strong.  The enrollment system makes it profitable for everyone.  Of all the MLM businesses out there, this one offers stability and practicality like no other.

You knew it the day you signed on, your sponsor is a magician, ranking right up there with Houdini and Copperfield.  How do they do it?  They get droves of people to buy the product by the case load and the number of people they sign up as associates exceeds the total population for a five hundred mile radius.  They are remarkable and they embody the success stories that make draw so many hopefuls to MLM companies.

Watching your sponsor and looking at their stats makes you feel like a little kid watching a superhero.  You are just dying to grab that cape, drape it across your back and take flight.  Well, get ready because the ride can start whenever you’re prepared for it.  That bag of tricks you’re convinced they have hidden away is really just filled with tools.

These tools are the secret to their success and they are probably more than willing to share them with you.  The first of the tools is drive.  Your sponsor has a personal drive that pushes them to excel.  It thrusts them out there to strive to sell more and to recruit more.  This drive is fueled by dedication to themselves, their success, the company and its products and you.  They believe in what they do and they believe in you.  Believing creates success for both of you.  The other tool they use to construct their flourishing business is experience gained over time.  We all know it’s virtually unheard of to be an instant success at anything.  Your sponsor has been working hard for a long time to achieve the level they have reached.  Every day they have put in has given them a different experience and another note to add to their list of things to remember and from which to learn.  Everyone knows you learn from experience.  Your sponsor has put what they’ve learned to good use and as a result have become very successful at what they do.

Is it possible for you to emulate your sponsor’s success?  Of course it is.  You have to do what they have done, dedicate yourself to your business and learn.  What you probably don’t realize is that you actually have an advantage over your sponsor.  You have them.  Take the time to talk with your sponsor, ask lots of questions, ask to go to recruiting appointments with them to see how they do it, and learn from their experiences.  This way you add their bag of tricks to your own.
