60+ Ideas/Suggestions For Offline Marketing

I've been doing some research & reaching out to people to identify more strategies and tactics for marketing offline.

Why?

Well, at the end of every downline has to be a functioning and active retail seller, somebody selling to end users. For many MLM operations this translates to retail selling in the local region - selling away from the local region would be in my book at least, Internet Marketing...

This is necessary to generate the sales from which we get our commissions - that income we get whether we're asleep or awake...

Anyways, there's a great little posting here at http://www.allfreelance.com/freelancing_blog/2008/01/24/60-unique-ideas-for-marketing-your-business-offline-locally/ which you'll find interesting & useful to get you pointed in the right direction.

My thanks to kstai at BetterNetworking.com for this little gem.

STOP trying to copy the gurus too much - it will end in tears...!

I've been looking at what the gurus do, how they do it, and how many others try to copy them exactly.

And I'm always curious about the claimed 95-97% of people who start out in network marketing, multi level marketing and internet marketing and fail to achieve what they really want.

I've been thinking about why this might be - I've come up with a number of contributing factors.

Some you will know.

But I bet this is one you don't - THEY TRY TO COPY THE GURUS TOO CLOSELY!!!

Kicking And Screaming? I Don't Think So!

I came across the beginnings of a discussion on one of the MLM forums. It tells of a new recruit who said she signed up "kicking and screaming" - sounds like she was the victim of a hard sell. This doesn't sound much like a recipe for success, as you'll certainly know if you've read my Manifesto.

You can see my contribution to this discussion, plus the rest of the thread if you hop over to http://homebasedbusinessforums.com/forum3/11291.html

So beware!

And best wishes...

OK. It's here. At last.

Ever since I saw early signs for the impending economic storm, I've felt driven to create The Second Income Manifesto, also known as the MLM / Network Marketing Manifesto.

And now it's here, available to all, for free download, from
http://www.thenetworkmarketingmanifesto.com/

After you've read and worked through this Manifesto, you will be in a fantastically better position to make an informed decision about your next steps towards starting, or significantly growing, a second income. This is as true of you are totally new to all of this, or an established mlm operator or MLMer.

The Manifesto is both an information source and a workbook, helping you to assess your own unique situation to figure out the next steps. There's stuff here you won't find anywhere else, as well as some of the more well known concepts and tools - I want this to be the most convenient way to access what you need.

Anyways, enough said here - you'll find so much more about a home based business in network marketing, and what is in the Manifesto, plus details of how to freely get hold of our own copy.

Later, as you reflect on what you have read about and in the Manifesto, your mind will be racing with all the possibilities that become known to you - almost too pumped to sleep, glad that you did download your copy...
