One of the key things to consider when getting started in a home-based business is the type and level of support that you receive to help you succeed.  If you have a sponsor that disappears once you join, your chances of success are greatly diminished.  However, if you are connected to someone that is committed to your success, the sky is the limit.

I can remember the very first time I joined a network marketing company.  It was several years ago when Excel Telecommunications was at the height of its success.  To this day, I could not tell you who my sponsor was or what he looked like.  In fact, place me in a room with just me and that original sponsor, I still would have a hard time telling you who he was. (LOL)

Luckily, I did not let that bad experience hinder or keep me away from this industry.  Having endured some of the trials and tribulations of having to figure it out on my own, I know the importance of having a great sponsor to help you navigate in your new business.

With the upcoming launch of the Hi5 business opportunity, I am looking to work with motivated individuals that are coachable and willing to learn.  Our team is committed to your success.  With nightly webinars, conference calls and trainings you will have constant information available to help you.  Additionally, we are planning to make lead capture pages available to all team members.

I have built an international organization and love to train others to do what I do.  If you’ve been hesitant to start a home-based business because you were concerned about how successful you could be, let me ease your fears.  I don’t consider myself to be successful unless my team members experience varying levels of success.

If you would like to work with a proven leader that understands what it takes to be successful in a network marketing business and uses an effective internet marketing strategy to help his team succeed…Give me a call at 918-409-0330 or simply email me at kevin@kevincrawley.com

A couple of days ago, I was invited to listen in on the call of a new company that is nearing launch for its weight loss and energy products.  Everything about the Hi5 opportunity tells me that this is a company that will be successful.

Its CEO is an industry leader.   The compensation plan is one of the best I have seen.  And the products taste great and are effective.

Now the best part…The company has not even done a pre-launch yet!!  That’s right, the company is putting everything in order before they launch later this month.  With that in mind, I and my team are looking for people that want to join us as we help launch this company and position ourselves at the top of this new opportunity.

What will Hi5 consist of?

Hi5 Energy Drink

Amazing taste…powerful energy…and all-natural ingredients will make this drink explode in sales.  No more Red Bull jitters or RockStar aftertaste, Hi5 energy drinks are an awesome alternative to the mainstream energy drinks with their chemicals and artificial ingredients.  Hi5 Energy Drinks do not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup which has been linked to the explosion of obesity rates in the last few years which leads to increased instances of health issues like heart disease, diabetes, etc.

Hi5 Precision Weight Loss

With obesity rates rising rapidly, chances are you or someone you know wants to drop a few pounds.  The Hi5 Precision Weight Loss supplement will help you drop those unwanted pounds by working to suppress your appetite.  In fact, you may need to set your alarm to remind you to eat while you are using the Precision Weight Loss system.

Hi5 Mixers

Energy on the go!  Coming in travel/airplane ready 1-ounce vials, take your energy booster with you wherever you go.  Simply add the vial to a bottle of water, and you will have a powerful energy drink that will give you a boost for hours to come.  Can your Red Bull or RockStar do that?

The fact that you are reading this qualifies you to take a look at this income opportunity before it launches.  In business, timing is everything.

Take just a moment to investigate this opportunity and see if you want to be one of the first to market these products.

My team has retired over 70 people in the last 2 years.  We are looking to double that in the next 12 months.  Hi5 is the opportunity that will help us do just that!

Having been in Network Marketing for several years, I was trained on these methods early and often.  I faithfully made my list of 50-100 people that I knew.  Next, I would call each and every one of them offering the ability to be a part of my team and earn some extra money with a home based business.

The majority of responses I received included being hung up on, accused of running a scam and other forms of rejection.

After I had gone through my entire list, my upline sponsors simply told me keep approaching the same people again, give out more flyers, find more strangers to talk to, on and on.

My business was floundering and I began to fall into the trap of saying that Network Marketing didn’t work.

But then I realized that my approach was all wrong.  Instead of just approaching random people, why not have the right people approach me?  By right people, I mean people that are interested in making extra money or want to start their own business.

See, part of the problem I was facing was trying to convince people that they COULD make extra money from home and have their own home based business.   Or, I also had to explain the benefits of Network Marketing to them and go against the negative mindset some have towards the industry.

So what did I do?  Quite simply, I just began to share information about my successes and failures in the industry.  By marketing my opportunity over the internet, I was able to present information for which people were already looking.  So now, people that were looking for ways to make money from home were contacting me.  Folks that were in Network Marketing but needed a change and wanted a sponsor that knew how to train and develop them, were calling me.

Once I stopped hounding people, I started to have people contact me for information on my opportunity.

Oh yeah, and those friends and family that I used to hound?  Yeah, some of them are now contacting me to find out what I’m doing as a business now.

Currently my team, which has helped over 75 people retire in the last 2.5 years is gearing up for a pre-launch of a new company.  We are looking for people that want to get involved early and have the potential to make $2-5000/month as an early adopter of of company.  If you want to work with a leader on a new venture that will be pre-launching soon, email me at kevin@kevincrawley.com

Personally, I use the Google Keyword Tool when I start looking for keyword phrases and begin my research.  First, type in a broad/generic keyword phrase. As an example, if I were using a website  to sell graduation invitations, I would start by entering in the keyword phrase ‘Graduation Invitations’ and click the ‘Get Keyword Ideas’ option.

What Google then does is to list information about that keyword and a variety of combinations involving your keyword phrase.  Adjacent to the phrase is the average number of times that phrase has been searched on a monthly basis through Google.  Our phrase, “Graduation Invitations” receives an average of 165,000 searches per month.  As you continue looking at the list, you will come across several other words like, “Graduation Invitation” and “Graduation Party Invitations” that garner an additional 120,000 searches per month.

As you look at this, you will begin to realize that this tool also helps you see the demand online for a product.  On average, no less than 250,000 people are looking for Graduation Invitations on a monthly basis.  These people are  looking so that they can research/compare prices or make a purchase.  In other words, you could have access to over 250,000 potential customers each and every month!

Now, what I have found is that the more powerful, effective, and useful  phrases of keywords to use and position within your website  are the ones that are less competitive and generally involve 3-5 words in the keyword phrase.  The benefit to using theses less competitive phrases is that you will find more highly targeted traffic coming to your site.  Why?  Consider this… Which is more advantageous, a customer looking for “Graduation Invitations” or “Blue and White Graduation Invitations”?  The person that is very specific about the type of invitations for which they are looking  is more likely to be ready to buy and past the window-shopping/research phase.

As you brainstorm your keyword phrases, it is best to try a wide variety of combinations.  Don’t be afraid to use both plural and singular spellings. At the end of your brainstorming session, you will likely have a list of at least 100 keyword phrases.  It is from this list that you will begin to plan your website and its content.   Use this list in your article writing and in your Meta tags.

As a reminder, don’t try and fool Google by using the same keyword phrase over and over.  Google is a little smarter than that.  A good keyword density is approximately 4-7% of the article and it should look and sound natural.

A well thought-out and planned keyword strategy will position your website for a truckload of highly targeted traffic.

No matter if you are a Network Marketer, Affiliate Marketer, or simply want to meet new people, the internet has proven to be a great resource for building your network.  And as I have been stressing, you must Brand Yourself.  The old model doesn’t work anymore.  Compensation Plans come and go…people join to work with YOU…not your business.

When it is launched, the Hubze Platform will allow the user to integrate several useful marketing tools like: Lead Capture pages, Auto Responders, Blogs, etc.  Rather than logging into a variety of tools and resources, they will all be in one convenient location.

At the end of the day, when it is all said and done…Internet Marketing is simply about the page views.  Maybe you have heard the term before, but to an internet marketer it is a key phrase and vital to our success.  All of your actions, every posted link, every blog comment…everything should be done to increase the number of people that are viewing the information you have posted on your website.  Because of that, it is highly important that the page to which you are sending people is functional and user friendly.  Your site should look clean and neat.  While it doesn’t have to be professionally designed, it shouldn’t look like something your 3 year old put together with a box of crayons and magic markers.

Now, there are several ways for you to go about getting more page views and traffic to your site.  Creating links to your site is the most common way of generating traffic, but does take some effort.  Comprehending how search engine optimization (SEO) alongside the correct ways to use keywords will greatly improve the effectiveness of your internet marketing.  Keep in mind, all keywords are not created alike and you have to ensure that your site gets traffic from the major search engines for a variety of keywords.   The tool that I use is Traffic Travis.

Now that you have your keywords, you have to widen your areas for internet marketing.  On your list of venues, you must include blogs, articles, social bookmarking (OnlyWire), your site itself and many others.  To increase the opportunities to gain traffic to your site, you must have your links placed in a number of places.  Your site and its content must have a healthy keyword density or sprinkling of your keyword throughout the content.  But keep in mind, there is overkill.  Having a keyword density that is very high will signal to the search engines that your site is likely spam and will lower your ranking.  This is known as keyword stuffing.  Generally, the optimal range for keyword density is between 2-5%.  The tool I mentioned earlier, Traffic Travis, has a component that will analyze your site and tell you the density of your keywords.

Bear in mind, volume is extremely vital to your links.  A higher number of links in, is directly related to the amount of traffic that you can have for your webpage.  Additionally, the more links that you have coming in (backlinks) tells the search engine that you are a potentially useful and informative site and will rank you higher.  Posting links on sites that have a high PageRank will also greatly increase the reputation of your site, as will links from .edu and .org sites.  Therefore, quantity is great, but you can’t forget about quality.

Granted, this is not an exhaustive list internet marketing tips and tools, but they can be beneficial when used.  Internet Marketing is a huge field.  No one can claim to be THE expert, however there are many gurus that have learned a few things and are happy to share what they have learned.

So why is big business demonized by the left but big government loved? Our founding fathers didn’t trust government at all so why does the left love it?

1. Which retail business would be best to start and why: a) Specialty retail business or b) Mail order business?

2. Which type of business is more predictable and does not change often: Specialty retail or mail order?

3. Many people say that PASSION is important when it comes to starting a business because the owner will have to work long hour to make his or her business a success. I agree with that but can you explain to me why there are many people out there who started their successful businesses outside their PASSION?

4. How can I choose products and services to sell that fit my personality and are part of my values?

5. I took a Myers-Briggs personality test and the result of the test shows that my personality type is an ISFJ (Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging). Would someone like me who possess this personality type can become successful in operating his or her retail business?

Or…maybe you never thought about making money on Twitter.  You just use it to give the latest update in your life and that’s it.
