The global Business Opportunity sales force is constantly expanding, and opportunities to work in this growing business are all around. So why do people take up Business Opportunity?

Are they seeking More Money, fame and fortune, or is there something more?

The reason most network marketing reps are in Business Opportunity is they have a dream. They dream about having something better than they have now, about doing and being something better.

Indeed, if you want to become successful in Business Opportunity you will need to have a strong dream in order to survive in what is a very competitive industry.

Here are a few examples of the kind of dreams people have when they become, and succeed as, a network marketing rep:

(1) The dream of having an additional income: The United States of America, like many countries across the globe, is suffering from a recession. It is only going to get worse as factors like the sub-prime loan crisis and the credit-crunch cause the economy to stall. An extra income provides a buffer and an extra sense of security in uncertain times.

(2) The desire to have more free time to do what you really want to do: Many wealthy people are shackled to their work and have neither the time nor the energy to enjoy the fruits of their labors. There are lots of successful business owners who work around 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. They worry that if they take their eye off the ball for even a minute they will lose everything they’ve worked so hard for. Network marketing offers a way to build residual income (or walk-away income) leaving you with time to enjoy the important things in life.

(3) The dream of being in control of your destiny: Feeling as though you are not in control of your life is one of the most stressful things which can affect people, and often produces extreme unhappiness, even when that person is earning good money and has some free-time. There is also the worry of being let go or laid off. Even a pension or retirement fund isn’t a guarantee of future happiness. Better to work in a way that enables you to build security for the future – and network marketing offers a way to do this.

(4) The dream of finding the perfect product: Many network marketing companies sell excellent products that attract customers time and time again. This way, the customer sees it is in his or her best interests to become a rep or a distributor themselves – and sell the fantastic product on to other people. There are lots of successful entrepreneurs in network marketing who started in the business simply because they needed a new product and bought it from a friend who happened to be a network marketing rep.

(5) The dream of helping others and being popular: As well as providing free time, extra money, great products and security, network marketing also creates a positive environment wherein people can socialize and help each other. Family and friends can be invited to join in and get involved, contacts and new friends are made along the way. Many life-long friendships are created within a network marketing team.

Before you decide to take up a network marketing opportunity you must have a strong dream. Can you make a list of all the reasons why you want to join network marketing? If you can, then this list will provide you with the determination and passion to make your Business Opportunity a great success.

Let me share one thing. I have been doing guaranteed sign ups business for many years but I realised many people do not know how sign ups really work.

So this article will help to provide an overview of guaranteed signups.

To sum up, there are two ways on how this type of business is run. The correct way and the wrong way.
If you want to know how guaranteed sign ups work, here’s how it works.

First the wrong way:

There is a company that “hires” over thousand of people as their member and they are all “PAID TO SIGN UP”. The compensation for each sign up ranges from $0.10 to $0.15. As long as the member finishes the sign up task, he is paid $0.10.

This type of sign up fails to promote MOTIVATED sign up. The sign up is more of earning the $0.10.

Can you imagine your business getting this kind of sign ups? How does this benefit your business in the log run?

This sign up process is the most popular online but proves to be the least effective way in terms of building your downline business. In fact, 90% of the providers that you see online uses this method.

Now for the second method of guaranteed sign ups.

This is the correct one:

A company advertises to the mass audiences and generates a lot of interest. This consists of a “holding” website with the list of all MLM opportunity programs expected to be visited by leads.

The leads will look and choose which program they want to join. They visit the actual MLM program and join for free.

The second approach is much better to employ than the first one for the following reasons:

1) The leads are more responsive
2) The leads voluntarily express their interest

Given the two methods above, which route do you follow? You have to bear in mindthat there is a saying: “Marketing is a numbers game”. Would you like to take of option of signing up 1000s “paid to join” without any interest in your business?

Or would you like to get 100s of interested members in your downline, with a higher chance of becoming your active downline? Now that’s your call.

Not surprisingly a program like Ad Surf Daily generates a lot of forum discussions.
It is also not a shock to see unusually bright writers on either side of a feud like this.

But what does this mean for you? For many readers these discussions will just take them away from their work.

One of the problems for someone coming into network marketing is the learning curve. We’re not just talking about learning about the industry as whole but it’s the sub categories within the business a person has to be.

Actually, this is not just a problem for new network marketers; it also applies to those who have tried and failed over and over again.

There are a number of reasons why people “flunk out” of their business but one that isn’t spoken about too much is the need for someone to be a “jack of all trades.” In other words, they need to be a salesperson, motivator, recruiter, interviewer and trainer.

The simple truth is, most people don’t possess these skills and if you’ve been told you don’t need them then you’ve been lied too.

Community Based Network Marketing

There is a new trend emerging in the network marketing world. Yes, The Renegade Network Marketer has been responsible for the attraction marketing and pre-sell boom but we’re talking about community based network marketing.

In a nutshell, community driven network marketing is about using a person’s strengths within an organization and capitalizing on them.

Occupy The City is a community based network marketing group who’s sole aim is to focus on making each and everyone of it’s members work towards one common goal - success for everyone.

The beauty about community based network marketing is a person can opt not to be a salesperson, a motivator, recruiter, interview or trainer if they don’t want to. But how can this be?

Easy! Simply, community driven network marketing harnesses the individual strengths of it’s members and puts them to utilizes them.

That is, if someone is a good recruiter then that’s the role they’re assigned within the group. If someone has excellent sales skills then that’s what they will be asked to contribute.

So instead of having to worry about doing the things you’re uncomfortable at or not good at, you instead will concentrate on what you’re proficient at and work to it.

People can be separated into categories such as internet marketing, sales and content and writing but all working towards one purpose - that is the ultimate goal of the group to achieve financial success for everyone involved.

It’s a powerful concept and if you have tried and failed at network marketing in the past and think you have something to offer, then a community driven network marketing business could be the right vehicle to your financial success.

Since the Renegade Professional Training opened it’s doors early this year more and more network marketers have embraced the power of online marketing as their breeding ground for generating targeted prospects into their business funnel.

Article marketing is one form of the online puzzle which many have embraced and with good reason – good quality and information packed articles placed with high ranking article directories can mean lots of extra targeted traffic to your website.

However, the confusion surrounding what article marketing really is continues. In it’s basic form, you write an article offering tips to a solution people are looking for and your resource box then directs them to your offer.

Renegade Professional Training students are being taught article marketing tactics successfully but you need to understand, for maximum benefit and exposure you need to be incorporating the various resources available to you to post your articles but more importantly, you need to have your own piece of online real estate to send people too.

Why?

Well, what happens if the product you are promoting suddenly disappears. You suddenly have an article giving valuable information circulating around the web with dead links. See the problem?

Article Marketing Secret

The most effective way to get the best out of your article marketing is to have your own real estate. This way, you can direct readers to your own presell sales or review page and if the offer you are promoting gets axed, then replace it with another similar product.

With your own website or blog, this is easy and you don’t have to worry about having material floating around the internet with dead links.

Now article directories which carry importance within the search engines are excellent ways to leverage your message but why not put it into overdrive by using the power of Web 2.0.

Instead of writing an article once and submitting it to several directories why not consider rewriting it several times and creating extra real estate on some of the best Web 2.0 properties.

For example, you could start a lens at Squidoo, a hub at Hub Pages, a page at Gather and a wiki at Wikidot. If you’re new to Web 2.0 then these terms will be foreign but be rest assured, each of these sites carries plenty of weight within the major search engines and your article will receive plenty of exposure.

Better still, by placing it in front of as many targeted readers as you can then the chances of turning some of those eyes into prospects or buyers increases significantly.

The great news for those under the Renegade Professional Training umbrella is, these tactics are being shown and taught to students. Renegade Professional takes the concepts of the Renegade Network Marketer and puts them into practice.
