Network Marketing: a Deadly Industry or a Profit Center?

Network marketing has a lot of baggage as an industry. Those who are a part of network marketing are challenged by their supervisors and their upline to continually tell their family and friends about their business. They do so, but with fear! Why does it have to be this way?

Too often, network marketing representatives get wrapped up in worrying about what others think when they share about their business opportunity. That makes them share reluctantly, or without any confidence, and people see right through that. This fear and worry reveals that their motivation for sharing their business isn’t very strong at all.

For example: consider a knife. In the right hands, a knife is an amazing tool with the potential to save a life. A surgeon will carefully perform life-saving surgery with a knife. However, if the same knife is in the hands of a murderer, that tool can become a weapon that harms others and can take lives.

Network marketing is just like this.

If you connect with your prospects with the intention of manipulating them, or simply making money off of them, then you’re using the knife completely wrong. You want to be like the surgeon, carefully sharing this knowledge about network marketing that can save a life – because network marketing reveals who we really are. Network marketing will make it obvious if you are in this business to help others. Here are some examples for approaching others when you are talking about your network marketing business:

Don’t be shy! You’ve got to talk about your marketing opportunity with confidence and with conviction! Keep the right mindset: you’re using your network marketing business to save people from a life of poverty, and giving them the tools to empower other people who are struggling like you did once. Remember, this is your best chance at giving someone else the tools to change. If you feel like you are “cheating” others by sharing your network marketing business with the, then your intentions are going to be clear, and you are going to look awful in front of your prospect. So, speak up, be confident, and tell them, “Yes! I am in network marketing!”

You can do the exact same thing with your products. You have a great product in your catalog that can burst your immune system and fight disease. Would be wrong to ask the patient to consider buying your life saving product? Of course not! The surgeon wants to help the patient, and you are trying to help them better their lives.

As a leader in network marketing, your main duty is to help others succeed like you are. Any serious leader will do their best in helping their downline achieve success. Don’t just sit around, waiting for them to connect to prospects and bring them into your network. Go forth with them, and help them out of their harder times or just be there to answer questions. Let them benefit by learning from your confidence, your leadership, and your experience.

Remember, in our industry of network marketing, the more people who join us, the more people you can help battle poverty and spread the word about our products. Network marketing is your tool for success, so make sure that you focus on being a surgeon with your business opportunity.

By: Alexandra Khoo

Why You Should Run From Network Marketing Companies with High Overhead

If you want to create long term residual income in network marketing and have that support your desired lifestyle, avoid MLM companies with high overhead.

The more overhead an MLM company has, the less chance of success you will have in the long term, because the less commissions it can pay you for the hard work that you do as a distributor. The less commissions it pays, the more people you’ll need to sponsor.

Computer Network Services Manhattan: Cloud Computing & Security

Computer Network Services Manhattan: Cloud Computing & Security

Cloud computing, as pioneered by the Google Apps suite, is the name of the game for small business computer network services in Manhattan. But what is cloud computing? And what does it mean for your computer network services (http://www.uptimeus.com/Services/systems-integration.html) and IT security?

Cloud-based Network Services Save NYC Companies Money

At its core, cloud computing is all about virtualization—of infrastructure, applications and even security.  This cloud-based NYC IT infrastructure benefits small businesses in particular because it offers consolidation of servers, applications and even operating systems. This translates into IT efficiency and significant IT cost savings: your team can begin working immediately with cutting edge collaboration and presentation tools from diverse locations without investing a lot of money in computer network services.

But cloud computing, in conjunction with social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the ilk, are also exposing NYC small business computer networks to an unprecedented number of security risks.

Does Virtualization Make Manhattan Computer Networks Vulnerable to Hacking?

At the heart of the issue is the very thing that makes virtualization so attractive to begin with: everything is linked. This means, on the most basic level, that if your employees’ email account is hacked (as was recently the gmail account of Twitter founder Ev Williams), your process and management systems, servers, Docs, Calendar, and Contacts are also compromised.

Unfortunately, while more and more companies are adopting virtual collaboration tools and cloud-based network services, only a portion of these businesses are simultaneously adopting virtualized security measures.

“You can’t simply rely on your existing New York network security infrastructure, although making sure traditional security measures and maintenance plans are in effect before adopting any sort of cloud-based strategies is a good idea, says Einat Aviraz-Sibony, President of Manhattan IT services firm UPTIME. (http://www.uptimeus.com)  “Because in essence, the basic IT security concepts are the same: data protection, identity and access, and business continuity.”

But as you take your team to the cloud, you need cloud-based security measures to protect your NYC-based computer network. And a number of security vendors are reworking their current applications to fill the current gap: Check Point, for example, has a new WebCheck feature that protects browsers from known malicious sites and analyses unknown sites for potential damage.

Virtualization will bring your team’s capabilities to a new level without overtaxing your IT budget, but keeping an eye on web-based security as it emerges warrants your attention. If you outsource your computer network services, make sure your provider performs routine virus detections and inoculations and ask them to check if your Software as a Service (SaaS) vendor—like a Google Apps reseller–offers the Novell Cloud Security Service, the newest in cloud security offerings.
