I was ask this question a few days ago

He is relatively new to online marketing but his primary business (big ticket direct sales) is going well. I attribute this not to my online marketing skills but, rather to my background in corporate sales. Now he is looking for something else.
The one thing he had learned is the need for multiple streams of income. He is really interested in residual income in his next business. He would also be interested if I could maybe recommend something that doesn’t cost a lot of money to get involved in, this way the prospects He speaks with who cannot afford his first business would be able to afford this second business. The benefit for him would be to establish some long term income.

This is exactly what i did a few months back , i was in
your shoes and i do understand where you are coming from.

My problem was that my primary Business was and still is a high end product and a lot of people just plain and simply did not have the money to join. They wanted to, but they couldn’t. Watching that over a few month i was extremely frustrated.
Basically I saw a lot of prospects just go bye bye and that was the end of it. And I hated to see my prospects go.
Having a different income stream was very important for me and when i started to research the market i did get some great ideas and concepts.

So my research got me to a point where i understood clearly that for me cashflow to support my business was priority. It got me to a point where i knew that i didn’t need another opportunity or product. What i found is a system. And it works like a charm. Generating Leads, monetizing of the list,
bringing in members for a fairly low price and building a residual Income on top of it. And the best part of it is, in the end, when my prospects are in my Salesfunnel, they will  be introduced to my high end Opportunity.

Basically it kept everything together nice and tight

Affiliate programs, are designed to assist you in making money through the sell of your products as well as those of other Internet Vendors. An affiliate program works as a referral or bonus plan paying you for referring a Client or Customer to another Website. Many Websites today are committed solely to making money through such programs. Your Business can prosper through not only hosting but also offering your own.

Affiliate programs are a successful way to make money on the Internet. But also the backbone for any Home based Business if you are in MLM/ Network Marketing. Just imagine if you would not sell anything in your primary business, there would not be any money, but with affiliate sales there is always cash flowing into your business on a monthly basis. Choose carefully when deciding on an affiliate program that you would like to sign up for.

Review the income potential of all the affiliate programs that you are interested in. Because you want to receive the highest potential earnings. Find out whether they offer a pay-per-click program or a commission program. Some Companies will pay you just for referring someone to their website while others pay a commission on any sales that were made by a visitor directed from your site.

Affiliate Programs are also known as

Associate programs,
Reseller programs,
Commission programs,
Pay-per sale programs
Pay-per click programs.

Payout Plans come in different types. Most Programs offer monthly checks, a few offer free products, or credit. Some of them require earning first a certain amount before sending a check.

Find Companies that are already well established rather than one who is just getting started. It is easier to work with a company that has been around for a while. Your payouts will be on time and tracking will be top notch.

When choosing an affiliate program it is important to choose one that compliments your product, it should meet the same demographic needs.

If you sell a home based business opportunity MLM/Network Marketing than you should hook up with websites that markets to the needs of Internet Marketers. You will have more success from your affiliate programs if the visitor is pre qualified.

You can find great affiliate programs on almost every Website you visit. Those programs are one of the easiest ways to make money and of course successful ways to make money online.

Just keep in mind, that you can promote yourself and your affiliate programs through newsletters or emails you send to your prospects.

Multi Level Marketing, often called MLM, is a basic system that you must pay to join. Once you have joined, you will receive a cash reward for each person that you refer. You will also be paid for each person that your referral refers, and everyone else that is recruited by someone under you. The group of people that is under you is called your “down line”. MLM presents itself in many different ways, but in this article I am going to talk specifically about Binary MLM.

The Face Book Website gets about the same amount of traffic as Google does. A lot of people think that Facebook is like Myspace, only for teenagers. But in reality, it is a great place to network with other entrepreneurs and a good way to begin building your own business or personal brand. We call that online presence. There are a few marketing tools available, to build your brand or business. Before getting access to those tools, you will need to set up your personal profile on Facebook. It doesn’t take long for you to set up your Facebook Account. It is actually fun and it also will help you as you build your brand or business.There are a few things I learned about Face Book.

· You should have only 1 personal account on Facebook, I know they are strict about this.
· Don’t go nuts adding friends, keep it low key, you don’t want to get red flagged. Once that happens, don’t use Facebook at all for awhile.
· Join groups and participate
· Open your own Group
· You don’t have to build your Facebook profile in one shot, built it over time. It is more important that you take action
· Your profile should be all about you and nothing else. People just love to learn more about you and respect you as a friend first, before you talk  about business.
· If you use Twitter you can link that to your Facebook profile

Now let us talk about setting up a Face Book Page.
You can have as many pages as you want and they can be linked to your profile.
· A Facebook Page is like a Business Page.
· Facebook pages will show up in the Search Engines, while your profile will not.
· People joining your page are fans and you cannot send a fan request.
· With your profile you can send friend requests.
· Because Face book gets almost the same amount of visitors as Google, it will rank in the Search Engine and it is absolutely a good place to get your brand or business off to a good start.

The whole idea behind getting an online presence is to get it going. Set up your profile and your page, and you always can come back to make it look better. Once you have set up your Facebook page all you have to do is promote it or link to it, via your blog, squidoo, your Website or any other media sites you are using.

In my opinion The Face Book Site has come and past MySpace Site, I think as a business owner myself I must say that I am pleased with Facebook for networking purposes. The options and layout are much better and easier to use and results in form of business relationships are much better.

One of my good friends did a Webinar Training not to long ago, and he explained what anyone has to do in order to generate leads on Facebook. If you are planning on using Facebook as a way to generate not just free traffic to your Website but also to convert those Visitors into leads than it is a must to watch this Market On Facebook Video now.
