<h2>A <strong>Capture Page </strong>is a website page where you turn cold traffic into prospects and customers.  It is also an important piece of the puzzle for success in Internet marketing as it <em>builds your most valuable asset &#8211; Your list</em>.</h2>
<h3>This post explains how to create a capture page that captures!</h3>
<p>You need to capture the contact information on as many visitors as possible, so that you can then follow-up with them and thus <strong>increase your sales ratio dramatically</strong>.  Simply said, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>if you are not selling then you need to at least be getting leads </em></span>so that you can convert them later into sales.</p>
<p><strong>That said, let&#8217;s uncover some of the components of a Capture and Sales Page</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You need to have just <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>one capture page per product</em></span>.  But, of course, <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">the more bonuses you can offer</span> </em>in a sales or capture page, the better.</li>
<li>The <strong>Headline is the most important element </strong>of a great sales or capture page.</li>
<li>The headline is followed by a <strong>sub-headline</strong> which describes the main feature(s) and benefit(s) of your product.  You can have many sub-headlines, right after the other!  This <strong>keeps the reader interested </strong>- the average visitor leaves a site in very few seconds so you need to get their attention fast!</li>
<li>You should <strong>place images </strong>on your capture page that look like a physical product (i.e. a software boxed up, etc.), even though your offer might be just an e-book.</li>
<li><strong>Get testimonials </strong>-  This may not be easy at first.  What you can do is give your offer away to some as a condition for thier testimonial &#8211; and then use the testimonials you like the best &#8211; hopefully the positive ones!!! ;0)</li>
<li>Not only add as many bonuses as you can, but you should also <strong>add a dollar value to each free bonus</strong>.</li>
<li>On the capture page, <strong>offer a guarantee</strong>, such as:  <em>&#8220;Try this product out for 30 days, if not happy just return the product for 100% of your money back&#8221;</em></li>
<li>Consider letting them <strong>try the product out</strong> for a small amount, say <strong>$1.99 for 15 or 30 days</strong>, and then charge their card for the product, if they don&#8217;t cancel when or before the trial period ends.</li>
<li>Have <strong>several closing attempts </strong>or calls to action throughout the capture page.  Make sure the call to action text is <em>large and bold and stands out</em>! You can use terms like:  <em>&#8220;Order Now&#8221;, &#8220;Start Making Money Today&#8221;, &#8220;Start Your Business Today&#8221; &#8220;Click Here for Financial Independence&#8221;, &#8220;Call Toll Free Now&#8221;.</em></li>
<li>At the bottom of the capture page is the <strong>order form</strong>.  Here you want to list all of the bonuses again, and perhaps ADD even MORE BONUSES.</li>
<li><strong>Add a signature </strong>- just like you would with a letter.  It gives your presentation a more personal touch, like if you were talking directly to them.</li>
<li>Lastly, you can <strong>add a P.S</strong>.  Use this as a <em>call to action to add a sense of urgency</em>. It is your last chance to get them to buy &#8211; it&#8217;s for the undecided.  You might say something like:  <em>&#8220;Look you only have a day to get it at this price&#8221;, &#8220;the bonuses end tonight at 12:00 midnight!&#8221;</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Key Points to Consider</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t lie </strong>in your sales pitch.  If they feel deceived they can post complaints about you, <em>you can get blacklisted, and you are done</em>!</li>
<li>Remember that this is all a work in progress, just go out there and start doing it.  If you wait until you have mastered copy-writing you will surely master it, but you won&#8217;t make any money in the process.  So <em>put up that sales page and refine it</em>, <em>do some split tests on it</em>, until it starts converting for you!</li>
<li>Make the sales page <strong>as multi-media and graphics/video driven as possible</strong>.  Use big text, with some type of audio or video (preferably video).  It should look and feel like a commercial ad.  Their are websites and services out there where you can even outsource all of this.</li>
<li><strong>USE attention grabbing Words in your headline such as</strong>: Guaranteed&#8230;.Magic….Quickly…..Easily…..Naturally…..Amazing…..Suddenly…..Shocking….Powerful Formula…..Get&#8230;.Instantly…..Harness….Hot&#8230;..Save….Win&#8230;&#8230;Absolute….Eliminate…..Worry&#8230;. Quit&#8230;.Lost/Lose&#8230;&#8230;Look Younger&#8230;&#8230;.More&#8230;.Forever….Free&#8230;&#8230;Little-known&#8230;..Secret/Secrets&#8230;&#8230;Simple&#8230;..Stop&#8230;&#8230;Revolutionary….Rich….Surprising…..More….Cash/Money Effortless….Improve/Improving….Get/Getting…Unlock/Unlocked&#8230;..Work From Home.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Hope this helps.  To Your Success!</em></p>

<p>and who not to sponsor.</p>
<p>Network Marketing is a formula that works. Unfortunately many people end up quitting too soon in the process, not because MLM or the product does not work, but because either they do not sponsor anyone or <em>their up-line does not help them sponsor their contacts</em>!</p>
<p>But really, the responsibility to sponsor is yours.  And I must admit that many people fail in MLM because they fail to sponsor anyone &#8211; they just sit there and expect things to miraculously start to happen.  Some just sponsor 1 or 2 folks and then quit. But there is allot of blame to go around for failure in MLM.  And of course a good portion of the blame can also go to the up-line sponsor.  The sponsor failed to properly establish the goals, expectations, and then to properly lead their down-line appropriately.</p>
<p><strong>Top 6 Mistakes Made in MLM by New Distributors</strong></p>
<p><strong>1)</strong> They (the distributor) do not take any action.  Either they do not sponsor anybody,  or they take too long trying to get ready.  Eventually, they end up doing nothing.</p>
<p><strong>2) </strong>They underestimate the number of people that they need to talk to and to sponsor, to succeed in MLM.  Adopt a mindset that you are in a start up business (because that is exactly what you have). Any start-up business requires allot of work at the beginning to reap huge rewards later with much or little work!  The beauty of MLM is that if you sponsor a team, you will not have to build the business all by yourself.</p>
<p><strong>3)</strong> They try to do lot’s of selling and they try to sponsor only their family and friends, instead of working with more qualified prospects.</p>
<p><strong>4) </strong>They fail to take advantage of their up-line&#8217;s support, and whatever automated tools, sponsoring ideas, and services are offered by the company.</p>
<p><strong>5)</strong> They fail to educate themselves and develop their sales, marketing and coaching skills. A good up-line sponsor can assist you greatly here.</p>
<p><strong>6)</strong>  They sponsor everybody that they can, without regard as to whether the sponsor is a right fit for the MLM or any business, for that matter.  <strong>We need to be selective </strong>so that we don’t waste 80% of our time working with 80% of the those that we sponsor that will do nothing.  Instead, let&#8217;s focus on those 10 to 20 % that we sponsor, whom are coach-able and sales minded.</p>
<p><strong>How to correctly interview and sponsor a prospect:</strong></p>
<p>Recognize that recruiting a down-line is <strong>an interview process.</strong>  So we need to interview the prospect by asking probing questions. Make sure that you are the one asking the questions so that you maintain control of the conversation, and are then perceived more as a leader than just a recruiter/sales person.  Of course you are all of that, but the perception you want to convey is one of a leader, like an MLM coach or mentor.</p>
<p>You want to <em><strong>find the 3 to 5% who are the right candidates to sponsor</strong></em>.  Convey to them that you are only interested in sponsoring the right type of person with the right mindset.</p>
<p><strong>The right candidates to sponsor are: </strong>driven, motivated, sales oriented, hungry, have strong work ethic, and are very goal oriented.  It does not matter whether they are successful or broke what matters is what is in their heart (motivated, serious, hungry, teachable, etc.).  Think of why you signed up under your sponsor, and mimic his or her strong points.</p>
<p>If you are new, <strong>use your up-line sponsor to get on a 3 way calls</strong> so that you can refine your skills by hearing how your sponsor or other up-line handles objections and to properly recruit</p>
<p><strong>VERY IMPORTANT:</strong> Make them want you to choose them, instead of you hoping that they choose to join you!  Convey to them that you are only interested in recruiting <strong><em>the right type of people &#8211; with the right mindset</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Recognize that this business is indeed a numbers game.  You have to filter out a lot of folks who are just, for example, lookers and tire kickers, curiosity seekers, are lazy, afraid to make a decision, or just have a overall negative attitude.</p>
<p><strong>Sample questions to ask in an interview:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How much do you want to make in your own business?</li>
<li>Can you see yourself making it?</li>
<li>Other than money, what else are you looking for with your own business?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Personally</span></em> Sponsor 300 people in 1 year</strong></p>
<p>Set a goal to sponsor a specific number of people per month.  Let&#8217;s say your goal is to personally sponsor 15 to 25 people in a month or about 1 person per day or every 2 days.  If you do this, then in 2 years time due to the power of duplication (as your <em><strong>properly trained </strong></em>group will also be sponsoring as well), you could have <strong><em>a down-line of 10,000 in your group in just 24 months</em></strong>.  This a huge organization, and in the right MLM company you will easily be earning 6 figures!</p>
<p>When calling over the phone, realize that you will need to make lots of calls to sponsor a quality team.  But it will be well worth it for you, if indeed you do really want to become financially secure in a couple of years.  This is why the get rich quick folks rarely make it in this business, or any other business for that matter.</p>
<p>The key of course is to sponsor the right types of people as mentioned previously, With the help of Internet based marketing, these numbers are now even more doable.  With virtual assistant systems such as auto dialer services and voice broadcasting, you can make many more calls and sponsor many more people nowadays than just 10 years ago.</p>
<p>The MLM business is a great business.  No other business offers so much for so little start up money.  But <em><strong>you have to be willing to pay the price &#8211; you have to sponsor and work with people</strong></em>.  nothing good develops overnight!  Sometimes slow starters end up making the most money in MLM merely because they just never quit.</p>
<p>Hard work up front (looking for the right team to sponsor) will result in hard cash just a few years later!</p>

<p><strong>Demographic marketing </strong>is the “next step” in marketing and the biggest threat to Google’s empire today.  <i>Demographics marketing</i> is targeting directly those customers who are most likely going to buy your product, by going to where they hang out on the Internet, instead of having them find you.  It is like doing a direct mail campaign where your letter is mailed to a homeowners address, when you are selling homeowners insurance.   Ask yourself, <strong><em>“Who is my audience? Where are they hanging out right now? How do I get in front of them?” </em></strong> These are the questions that need to be answered when marketing directly to your demographic market.</p>
<p>In traditional marketing what Google has done is Google has indoctrinated the masses to think of the Internet from a standpoint of keywords. Keywords are very important in helping to organize the Internet, but when you start looking at these other forms of marketing, the up and coming phenomena of the Internet that I personally think is the next big wave is actually <strong>demographics marketing.</strong></p>
<p>With <u>demographics marketing</u> it is also essential to <strong>learn how to track your traffic</strong>. Tracking software is very important to help you identify what is selling and what is not.  Most demographic marketing is done on a Pay Per View (PPV) basis, so you want to track carefully how effectively your advertising dollar is being spent.  You want to track, then focus and improve on the profitable sites, and stop advertising in the sites and with  the ads that are not pulling well.  So when creating your site, think about what your prospect is looking for and <strong>create a page to match their search.</strong></p>
<p>You must create a capture page, landing page, or website that converts.  <em><strong>Optimize that page so that it can convert</strong></em> lookers into buyers. Only then should you consider marketing to your demographics using PPV advertising.   Once you have that optimized page then you can make money with just about any ad source out there!  After all, a website that does not pull sales is like a salesman that can&#8217;t sell, both will cost you money in different ways.</p>
<p>What you need to do in whatever niche that you’re in, is to <strong><em>study your competitor&#8217;s website </em></strong>and sales letters.  if you study the successful competitors, in your niches, you will soon clearly see what works online. Do what your top competitors are doing!  Do Google searches, study their sites, their results, and mimic what they are doing.</p>
<p>Recognize that Google is not the only way out there to get traffic &#8211; Google <span><span>adwords</span></span> is not necessarily the best way to bring traffic to your site.  That click can come from anywhere on the web. It can come from a <strong>search engine listing</strong>, it can come from an <strong>advertisement</strong>, <strong>article submissions, blog commenting, joint venturing</strong>, and it can come from <strong>press releases.  </strong>Any type of form of media that is out there if used properly can create dramatic results. <strong>Traffic is defined as people clicking on a link and traveling from one location to another. </strong></p>
<p>Demographics marketing doesn&#8217;t focus on what somebody types into a search engine to find you. <em><strong>Demographics marketing is knowing who your audience is and determining how you can most cost effectively stand in front of them. </strong></em>When we look at demographics, for example, Google has a great tool called <strong>Google Ad Planner.</strong></p>
<p>Demographics marketing is not as expensive as you might think.  You can start with just a few hundred dollars.  And this form of advertising can generate tons of traffic to your site, because it is so well targeted.  Someone in a Website related to Beauty, for example, is obviously interested in that topic.  If they see your ad that sells a great new Beauty product, they may obviously be very interested.</p>
<p>With demographic marketing you want to focus on those targets that are high volume and high profit. You can do that very, very effectively with tracking.  A good piece of software to accomplish this is a <strong>free, open source software</strong> called <strong>Tracking 202</strong> and it is free. You must ask yourself who is your audience and where is that audience hanging out at present? By doing that, you can basically stand in front of your prospective customer&#8217;s all day long, instead of having them find you by chance via keyword searches.</p>
<p>One website that is great for demographic research is <strong><span><span>quantcast</span></span>.com</strong>.  just type in a website address and it this site will spit out the demographics of that websites visitors.</p>
<p>If you already know <em>who your audience is</em>, one of the tools that you should consider using is <strong>Google Ad Planner</strong>. I<em>t allows you to </em>profile of all of the other Web sites that your audience will also visit, once you type in a web address.</p>

<h2><strong>Pay Per View (PPV) </strong>is a form of Internet advertising whereby instead of having visitors come to your site through Google AdWords or a search engine, you target them by placing your ad in a website that they are visiting.  Although they may not be immediately ready to buy, they can be convinced because they are interested in your product.</h2>
<h3>This post will reveal some <strong>Pay Per View</strong> (PPV) traffic strategies that work.</h3>
<p>Traffic is like the narcotic online that everyone wants a piece of.  However, what the  <img class="alignright" title="Pay Per View (PPV)" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQnf8M4L7JQTY97gxRkOU3MZskjAgehK9BHxXpzbH4EVFo4iP0coBQMh-cefQ" alt="Pay Per View - Source: wweshop.com" width="197" height="62" /> “pros” know is that <strong>you have to CONVERT the traffic </strong>into taking action, to make that traffic matter in the first place. Conversions <em><strong>turn traffic into cash </strong></em>or more leads for your business.</p>
<p>Google has indoctrinated most Internet advertisers into thinking of the Internet in terms of keywords. to the search engines, keywords are very important in helping them organize the Internet.  But what I will discuss here is that there exist other huge advertising options such as <strong>Pay Per View</strong>, and that is the message that hope to deliver in this article.</p>
<p>With <i>pay per view</i> and all other forms of advertising, it is essential to <strong>learn how to track your traffic</strong>. Tracking software is very important to help you identify what is selling and what is not.  When you track you not only want to know how much traffic you are getting but also you need to be able to <em><strong>track by keyword or by URL</strong></em> so you can identify what keywords or sites are profitable for you. So focus and improve on the profitable sites and keywords and you will save and make more money, and you&#8217;ll be way ahead of your competition!</p>
<p>When using pay per view, be aware that <strong>you will probably be losing money up front</strong>. It’s all about getting data at first. Once you get the data, you can take out campaigns that aren&#8217;t converting and keep testing those that get a high volume.  <em><strong>You get tons of traffic with Pay Per View </strong></em>but you can also blow through tons of money if you don&#8217;t set a budget (like you can do with pay per view = pay per click, Google AdWords, etc.).</p>
<p>The key to success with pay per view (or any other ad media) is <em><strong>you must create a sales page or website that converts</strong></em>.  Only then should you consider pay per view and any other advertising media for that matter.  Once you have that optimized page then you can make money with just about any ad source out there!  However, if you don’t have that web page that is optimized to convert, it will just drain your bank account dry!  A website that does not pull sales is like a salesman that can&#8217;t sell, both will cost you money in different ways.  A sales page that does not pull should be discarded because it will drain your advertising budget!<strong> </strong></p>
<p>When creating your web site, you want to think about what your prospect is looking for and <strong>create a page to match their search.</strong> Think about whether they are looking for a solution once they click your link (good choice is a landing page) or need to be persuaded into a solution (by sending them to a direct link to learn more about your product).</p>
<p>What you need to do in whatever niche that you’re in, is to <strong><em>recognize who your competitors are and you study their sales and marketing process</em></strong>, in some of these niches, it’s very clear to see what works online. Do what your top competitors are doing!  Do Google searches, study their sites, their landing pages, their results, and mimic what they are doing.</p>
<p>Pay Per Click <strong>PPC</strong> marketing focuses on what someone is going to type into the search engines to find you.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">With Pay Per View</span></strong> on the other hand, what you want to accomplish is to determine where your audience is right at this moment and to go and stand in front of them?</p>
<p>Some Pay Per View networks, claim to have over 20 million users, so you have a huge audience of people who have opted-in, who have agreed to receive advertising and now you have an opportunity to target a market that has proven itself through its behavior of surfing online and ending up on a particular page.  What you then do is to create a pop under advertisement and the cost can be as little as 1 cent per impression (minimum starting price).  <strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>With Pay Per View, it is amazing how much traffic, given your budget, you can drive to your site.   Traffic is never going to be an issue when you engage in pay per view marketing.  You do not need a huge budget with pay per view.  Your budget can be as low as a few hundred dollars.</p>
<p>With pay per view You want to focus on high volume and high profit targets. You can do that very, very effectively with tracking software.  A good piece of software will actually do that for you. There is some <strong>free, open source software</strong> out there. It is called <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tracking 202</span></strong>.</p>
<p>If you know <em>who your audience is</em>, one of the tools that you should use is <strong>Google Ad Planner</strong>. What Google <em>Ad Planner does is it allows you to basically help you build a </em>profile of  the Web sites that that your target audience will also visit.  This way you can plan your pay per view campaign accordingly.</p>

<div class="mceTemp">having to read.  Call it laziness or whatever you want, but <i>Video</i> and Audio meets that desire.  This is why <em><strong>audio and video are such powerful marketing media </strong></em>in and outside of the Internet.<br />
If you want to create a <strong>viral marketing campaign</strong>, then video is the way to go!<br />
<strong>Regarding video emails, sites, or sales letters, here are some of the benefits for using video:</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>It Creates More Trust:</strong> Video emails allow your readers to see or hear you. It is a fact that if your prospect can see you or hear you, it instantly increases the trust level.</li>
<li><strong>It Helps Generate More Sales:</strong> Videos almost always have a higher conversion rate than just a plain text sales letter or email.  This is why most successful sales pages have one or more video presentations built into them.</li>
<li><strong>More Appealing:</strong> Sales letters and emails that contain video look more professional, and are more appealing to the eye and mind.  A reader is more likely to click on a Video link than having to read a presentation.</li>
<li><strong>Improved Retention: </strong>The information presented in a video format leads to better reader memory retention.  Not only because it is more entertaining, but because it is a proven fact that we tend to remember what we visualize more than what we read.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to Publish Video</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Create an informative and quality video.  Creating videos to be sold on the Internet is much easier than it used to be. With inexpensive new digital USB camcorders (such as the HD Flip Camcorder) and online hosting services like <strong>Audio Acrobat </strong>(despite it&#8217;s name, they host both audio and video) it is now much easier to create and publish streaming video and audio online.  You can also use a computer webcam to capture and upload videos directly from your computer to the video hosting service.  <em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://frontierins.audioacrobat.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Try out audio acrobat for free by clicking here</strong> </a></em> and sellecting <strong>&#8220;free trial&#8221;</strong> on the right side of page.</li>
<li><span>After you have recorded your raw videos you will need to compress them to a much smaller size by transferring your videos to a flash format called .<span>flv</span>, uploading the .<span>flv</span> files to your web server, and then adding those files to a flash player.</span></li>
<li>Upload your video to a video hosting service.</li>
<li>Copy the video HTML code into your site.</li>
<li>Send a broadcast email to your lead list with the video link.  Now sit back and enjoy the larger conversion rate!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Regarding Audio Emails and Audio links</strong><br />
Although not as popular as video, audio emails and audio links are also more effective than just plain text emails or sales letters.  Audio is also usually less expensive, faster and easier to create and upload than video.   All you need is a phone or computer microphone to record a message or a training session <strong>- <em>or even a product for that matter!</em>  </strong>And you don&#8217;t even have to dress up or wear any makeup to do an audio clip!<br />
<span>So whether you are trying to build a viral MLM <span>downline</span>, or build a large mailing list, Video and Audio are two of the best tools for creating a message that goes viral!  In this new technology age, you need to be ahead of your competition in order to survive and to thrive.  This is why you need to consider using video inside of your <span>autoresponder</span> emails, website, etc.</span><br />

		<description><![CDATA[As a business owner, I have had to refine my marketing strategy numerous times over the past 10 years to adapt to the competitive nature of my industry, and to identify the best lead generation system for my business. The challenge has been to keep the flow of sales leads coming in, and ensure that we have the best lead generation systems in place. By keeping abreast of new technologies and marketing systems, I have been able to sustain a stable growth rate in a weak economy.

<h2>As a business owner, I have had to refine my marketing strategy numerous times over the past 10 years to adapt to the competitive nature of my industry, and to identify the best lead generation system for my business.</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>The challenge has been to keep the flow of <strong>sales leads </strong>coming in, and ensure that we have the <strong>best lead generation systems </strong>in place.</em></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Leads" src="http://www.leadnetprotoday.com/uploads/2/1/4/4/2144265/372591.jpg?466" alt="Lead generation" width="460" height="84" /></p>
<p>By keeping abreast of new technologies and marketing systems, I have been able to sustain a stable growth rate in a weak economy.</p>
<p>Below are some of the more popular <strong>lead generation systems </strong>and strategies, and the advantages and disadvantages (if applicable) with each.</p>
<p>1)  <strong>Lead generation software and systems:  </strong>If you select the better systems with the most accurate extraction software, this is a great way to get targeted, accurate leads for pennies on the dollar.  We use it to target businesses of all types that have a presence in the internet.  We can extract 1000’s of leads per day and our cost is just $20 per month.  Whereas we used to spend upwards of $12,000 per year on targeted real time leads, we can now extract thousands of leads daily for practically nothing.  The software that we use provides us with the name, phone number and email address of the prospect, so with this information we can do all kinds of marketing campaigns such as telemarketing, voice broadcasting, email campaigns, etc. For more information about the <i>lead generation</i> system that we use check out the video at this URL link: <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.proleadsmachine.com" target="_blank">http://www.proleadsmachine.com</a></strong></p>
<p>2) <strong>Purchasing real time leads</strong>.  This works best for those who sell to the public or business to business.  For example let’s talk about <strong>Homeowner leads</strong>.  Businesses such as furniture stores, landscapers, realtors, mortgage lenders, insurance agents will probably want these types of leads as part of their overall marketing strategy.  For example, an insurance agency will want to purchase these real-time leads of home buyers in need of insurance for a new home purchase, and they need the insurance in a hurry, before the closing date.   <strong>Advantages: </strong> These are real time leads, these are people that are currently in need of a service.  <strong>Disadvantage: </strong> Approximate cost per lead is $10, and only about a 10%  conversion rate.  Some of these leads are bad leads with wrong or disconnected phone numbers, and email addresses that bounce.</p>
<p>3)  <strong>Purchasing lead lists</strong>:  Here the cost is less than real time leads, since you are buying the list in bulk (usually a minimum of 1,000 or 5,000 leads.  <strong>Advantage:</strong> Lower cost per lead, <strong>Disadvantage: </strong>accuracy rate is usually much lower, and some of the lists may be old, overused and outdated. There is also really no way to validate the accuracy of the list.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Website and internet marketing:</strong>  One of the best and least expensive source for business leads come from my website presence which enjoys good content and as a result adequate search engine placement.  A good website, developed properly with great content and targeted keywords is a vital tool for any business wanting to optimize sales.  Speaking of which, you should engage in SEO optimization to try to get your site on the first page of the keyword searches that you target.  <strong>Advantage:</strong> low cost marketing relative to the exposure potential.  <strong>Challenge</strong>:  Your site needs to be content and keyword rich</p>
<p>5)  <strong>Face to face:</strong>  Generating leads face to face is always a great way to build your business or sales.  If you are selling direct to businesses, you can visit businesses in your area.  You can also network via local business events, particularly business card exchanges work really well. <strong>Advantage:</strong>  More targeted, and a better chance at making the sale.  <strong>Disadvantage:</strong> More time consuming.</p>
<p>6)  <strong>Direct Mail</strong>: Mailing out postcards or sales letters still works; especially if you have a quality mailing piece and mailing list.  You have to have an eye catching headline and message along with an overall attractive mailing piece.  <strong>Advantages</strong>:  very targetted, and now with the cost of postage going up, and more and more advertising done online, you have less competition.  <strong>Disadvantages</strong>: The cost of mailing out each piece can be quite expensive and time consuming.</p>
<p>7)  <strong>Social Networking:</strong>  As a small business owner, you want to have a presence as well in the social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked-in among others.  These are sites being used today by people and some businesses to purchase things and to get ideas on what things to buy.  They are no longer just places for socializing.  <strong>Advantage</strong>: Great marketing tool if used correctly.  <strong>Disadvantage</strong>: Not all products may sell as well when advertised through social media channels.  It takes quite a bit of skill to attract sales from the social media sites.</p>
<p>8) <strong>Word of Mouth and Referrals</strong>:  This is where we all want to eventually get most of our leads from, since it is free and will help dramatically to increase our profit margin.  <strong>Advantage</strong>: a referral costs nothing and a refferred prospect is more likely to buy from you. <del><strong>Disadvantage</strong></del>: or should I say <strong>challenge</strong>, since there really is no disadvantage to word of mouth.  the challenge however, is that it takes time and effort before you will start to receive referrals.  Your product and service needs to be superior to others, otherwise you will not be seeing any referrals, any time soon.</p>

<li>With a downline of <strong>330 active members</strong>, earnings grow to approx. $5,000 to $8,000 per month.</li>
<li>With <strong>600 active members </strong>in your downline, earnings grow from approximately $6,000 to $12,000 per month.</li>
<li>With a downline of <strong>1,000 active members</strong>, earnings grow from approximately $10,000 to $20,000 per month</li>
<li>Once a distributor has a group size of <strong>2,000 active members</strong>, income grows from approximately <strong>$25,000 to $50,000 per month</strong>!</li>
<li>The ranges given above is due to the <strong>Unique matching bonuses </strong>(from 3 to 10% depending on your level) that Nuriche provides, which can add substantially to your monthly residual income.</li>

<li>40% goes into <strong>13 bonus pools </strong>to help ensure that all active members get a piece of the pie! This coupled with 20% fast cash bonuses, makes the Nuriche comp plan hard to beat.</li>
