Since I’ve become an internet marketer,

I believe my most commonly asked question by entrepreneurs is “What is the easiest way to market on the Internet?” Truth is, learning how to market on the internet is not as hard as you may think. In fact, the main struggle most people have once they know what to do, is their consistency. I should know. I’m guilty of the very same pitfall. In the beginning of my marketing career, I was excited to learn the concepts needed to build my online business.

 

It didn’t take long for me to recognize

that learning how to market on the internet wasn’t rocket science. Once you’ve grasped the concepts, all that’s left to do is “Flood the internet” with your content! You see, It is important to be committed to getting as much of your content possible, on the World Wide Web. Therefore you must be consistent. The goal is to leave footprints leading back to your website, which results in the sale of your product or service.

Once you are able to allow your mind to grasp that one very important fact, the next question is… “How do I do that?” During your marketing efforts it is important to have a large number of links (footprints) leading back to your website. I am sure you can imagine that without an army of team members working together to assist you in your efforts, the process could take a very long time. Literally a lifetime! Knowing that your competitors have the same goals or may even have a head start in their marketing efforts can also be an unsettling feeling. Still the question is…..

 

Where do I begin to learn how to market on the internet?

I’m sure you’ve heard that Facebook is a great place to advertise, you may have even dabbled a little bit with Twitter… but, if you are like most, you have no clue what you should be doing or where you should begin! I am confident you would prefer a competitive edge while learning how to market on the internet…. Right? Let’s admit it, online marketing can seem to be a bit intimidating at first glance.

However, having a competitive edge such as the blogging system that Empower Network provides, gives marketers one of the most innovative ways to distribute content, learn skills needed to market online, as well as generate an extra stream of income, while going through the learning process! The advancements in technology and the internet continue to grow by leaps and bounds.

If learning how to market on the internet interests you, stop procrastinating! Get started with Empower Network today!

What does it mean to Come Up Online?

 

I plan to answer that in just a moment but first. I would like to share a little about me. I think it would give you insight into what it means for me to come up online. I would like to keep it “one hundred.” (Be honest with you) I am not from a prestigious nor middle class family. I grew up in a single parent household where it was difficult to add any luxuries into our lives. So you see, we didn’t take vacations and I didn’t always get to rock the” Latest Gear.” (Latest Fashions) Therefore as soon as I turned 16 I got a job. It was time for a “come up.” (Rise to the top financially)

I kept that mindset my entire life. I have always believed that you must work hard in order to have anything in life. Especially, since “working hard” is what I saw everyone around me doing. Fast forward a few years… I too, was a single parent. I’m thankful to have worked hard enough to obtain a few decent paying jobs, which gave me the income to move up to “middle class.” I actually thought I was doing ok, for someone without a college degree. I must keep it one hundred though. I hated my job. Sound familiar?

I hated my job so much that I decided to enroll into college. I’m sure most people can relate. Because I was already in the Financial Service Industry at the time, it made sense to go to college for Business Finance. I figured since my job provided tuition reimbursement, I might as well take advantage of the perks. I figured certainly I would be well on my way to a serious come up. My plan was to finish my degree and get a job in a department that didn’t consist of harassing customers for payments and sending out the repo man. I had big plans of moving up the Corporate America ladder.

I became a college drop out. Yes, let’s fast forward a little bit more. I became a college dropout. After carefully paying attention to what was happening in our economy, it was safe to say, I wouldn’t obtain the come up I had dreamed from the Financial Services Industry. It was obvious the recession was making it difficult for most people to pay their bills. Banks were laying off right & left! This meant job availability was limited to the collections department. There was no way I would get stuck in the collections department my entire life. I decided to quit college. I figured at this point in my life, I had to be strategic if I truly wanted the come up I had been dreaming over the years. I figured life is sort of like playing chess. You must anticipate your opponent’s next moves. In my mind my opponent was the economy.

 

I discovered the internet.

 

It was obvious that the recession forced everyone to revamp their businesses or find innovative ways to go into business for themselves. I was one of them. In my opinion the internet was growing more attractive by the day. Facebook and Twitter have become household names and it was becoming difficult to find a commercial on television without the Facebook logo. As I stated earlier strategy was instrumental to my come up. Learning to market online in my opinion was a must. I figured if I could learn the strategies needed to get people to come to a website, I could most definitely sell any product or service I chose. The formula was pretty simple. The only thing left for me to do, was to learn the strategies needed to obtain traffic to my website and decide what product or service I wanted to bring to the market place. I had to find my niche. It was that simple.

 

I finally found my niche.

 

Deciding on a niche didn’t come overnight for me. (Keeping it one hundred) At first I was completely clueless. I made the decision however, that whatever I chose, it would most definitely have to be something I enjoyed doing. After all this was the road I was going to travel in order to ultimately achieve my come up. This meant I had to really believe in it. One thing was for sure, I believed in the power of the internet. As a matter of fact, I can recall listening to the song, Made in America (Watch The Throne Album by Kanye West & Jay-Z) for the very first time. It definitely got my attention for many reasons. The two biggest reasons “Made in America” got my attention was from the following two statements by Kanye West.

1. “I told my mama I was on the come up. She said, “You going to school, I’ll give you a summer.” Then she met No I.D. and gave me his number. Ten years later she’s driving a hummer.”

2. Started a little blog just to get some traffic. Old folks’ll tell you not to play in traffic. A million hits and the web crashes, damn!

Hearing a chart topping, successful musician talk about the success he had achieved by starting a blog on the internet excited me even more.It was official. I was confident I would achieve success online. Kanye West was giving his audience one of the key strategies he used in order to get much of his success. I couldn’t agree with him more. By the release of the album Watch The Throne, I too had received successful results through blogging. For me, it just made sense to develop my niche around helping others to gain the same knowledge & strategies that I was able to obtain in order to better assist me on my journey to a brighter future. If you are just a tad bit curious about strategies you can implement today in order to Come Up Online. I would like to empower you to join forces with me as well as others who would like to help you with those strategies along your way.

Build Your Home Business Using Zilergy!
If you’ve made the decision to build a home-based business, you have identified yourself as an entrepreneur with vision and foresight. You may have been introduced to a Multi-Level Marketing Company or you may be pursuing an original business idea. Regardless of your business model, growing your concept from an idea to a consistent money-maker takes the right tools and an air-tight marketing strategy.

In order to keep your relationship with consumers interesting and engaging online or offline takes work as well as careful consideration. It is important to go where the conversations are taking place to discover what makes your potential customers tick. In case you are not aware, Conversations are taking place online (Social Media) and via mobile phones (Text Messaging). Develop a strategy that keeps the intrigue going using Social Media & Mobile Marketing. You want to avoid simply bombarding your client’s inbox, you must stand out and keep them reading, viewing, clicking, and sharing.

Utilizing your Zilergy dashboard as the control panel for your marketing strategy is the obvious solution to organize your contacts and monitor your advertising campaigns. But remember, you must have vision and foresight. Limiting your communication to emails and text messages will only line you up with your competition. To move forward, take advantage of Zilergy’s Listen and Engage capability.

Listening and engaging with consumers in diverse and dynamic communities such as Twitter and Facebook is critical. With the presence of multiple social networking websites, it is essential to be organized and efficient. But remember, the key is to Listen and Engage. Therefore, your communication must be intuitive and genuine. Your goal is to engage or involve your audience; to evoke a response or an action.

Weaving in hot news topics that your subscribers would care about and responding to conversations that start in social media outlets are smarter, more meaningful ways to connect. As you listen to these discussions, consider the ways that your business offering fits into your clients’ lifestyles, then use your Zilergy dashboard to kick off a customized ad campaign before they even log off of Twitter. How powerful would it be to target potential clients using keywords for products or services that you currently provide? How powerful would it be to plan mobile and email blitzes directly to your target audience?

As you Listen and Engage with your audience, you are actively building your brand. You are keeping your business on your clients’ radars and you are developing a genuine relationship with them. You’ll realize that you are not just trying to schmooze your clients; you are actually conducting field research. Likely, you researched your audience when you began your home-based business. To keep up with your customers’ needs and interests, you should continue to conduct research throughout the lifetime of your business. Grow your subscriber list, conserve your time, and focus your marketing campaign by utilizing the full extent of your Zilergy dashboard.

Building a home business requires many skills: self-motivation, strong sales/marketing skills, attention to detail, time management, and self-discipline. Hopefully, you have chosen to promote a product or service that you genuinely believe in. But, keep your eye on the prize; true entrepreneurs are working to build residual and leveraged income. They are using their skills and knowledge to create wealth. The most successful business owners are utilizing operating systems like Zilergy to dominate the competition.

The bottom line: Stop wasting money on ineffective traditional advertising, and use your resources (Zilergy) to craft the marketing campaign that speaks to your audience and increases your revenue.

Lashawn & Sonata

First, I would like to start by saying Happy New Year! I’m super excited about everything 2011 has in store! Hopefully by now you know a little bit about me and what I do. :) In case you are not familiar with me, I am a Network & Internet Marketer who is serious about “Change”.  I am on a journey of Financial Freedom, as well as Personal Growth. Because my ultimate goal is to leave positive foot prints behind, I have decided to add teaching Teenagers how to become “Young Positive Entrepreneurs” to my Home Business!

I aspire to have an organization full of Young Entrepreneurs who also leave positive foot prints! My daughter LaShawn Mack was my very first student. I am excited to announce that I have my second student Sonata Renfroe! Like many of us, Sonata as well as LaShawn, have made many mistakes in their short lives. However, they have made the commitment to Get Better, Do Better, & Be Better!

In case you all didn’t know, every “Successful Business” began with an idea, (A Dream) and someone with the ambition to put it into action!  ;) Get Better, Do Better, and Be Better!

Please Don’t forget to Share and Retweet! :)

Much Success,

I first would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy day to read my blog post. I realize time is your most valuable commodity. This means every moment  should be spent getting you closer to accomplishing your goals. Goals fall in many categories, Family, Health, Business, Finance, etc. Today I would like to give you just a little bit  of advice to help you in your home based business.

Let me first state, “I am not the best, nor do I claim to be one of the best. You see, I’m only 6 months into the game. ;) ” However, I will state, “In the past 6 months I have learned more, and have had more success in my home business than most other Home based business owners who started around the same time that I did.

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard, “I’ve been doing this for a few years and I haven’t made any money.” I’m sure that has been frustrating for many business owners in that position.  However, there is a bright side. The fact that they have been pushing forward for that length of time with no success shows true ambition.  However, I realize the reason for doing what they do is because they want success. So…. I figured I would share a few things that have helped me to experience the success that I have had.

Call it Luck if you want! I call it attracting everything I want in life! :)

In my opinion there are 3 components to having a successful Home Based Business.

Leadership -  Not only should you seek out Leadership, but you should also invest in yourself to become a better Leader. If you are in a Network Marketing Company, Do not rely solely on your upline for Leadership. They do not have all the answers! Remember, seek and you shall find! I encourage you to seek!

Mindset – Mindset is the foundation to your success. Period! If your thoughts are all jacked up, you can expect everything else to be jacked up!

System – A system is defined as a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole. I realized having a system in place to assist me in multiple areas of my business was instrumental. The system that I am currently using gives me the ability to earn while I learn and that is truly a beautiful thing! :)

Think about this:  If you are currently employed, you had to attend training right? (Learning) I encourage you to take the time out to Learn something that will take your business to the next level!

Want to know more about the system I use? Visit http://mynetworkmarketingpro.com

Hope it helped! Remember, Always strive to Get Better, Do Better, & Be Better. Don’t forget to Retweet & Share!

Much Success,
