In my last blog I mentioned one of my favorite skills training calls. It is the Thursday afternoon call given by Don Standard and Penny Dude. For me this is the greatest and most beneficial call I can listen to. Don and Penny provide information on many different avenues to advertise a persons business or product at little or no cost. They tell you what new things people are using to advertise and they actually go over the programs or sites to show an inexperienced person how to use them. I can get around on the computer okay in certain programs but it seems the sites and programs I am good at aren't the ones that will help me advertise my MentoringForFree sites. (Photoshop and illustrator are just not good for advertising any kind of thing.)
From listening on these calls I have been finding there are a lot of people just like me. They are trying to do business on the internet and just do not know how to get around on the sites. They only know the very basics of maneuvering around the computer in general.
Both Don Standard and Penny Dude are both very knowledgeable in the programs and sites that they instruct us newbies on. They are very diligent and meticulous about the information they are giving. Many time They will do a step by step process to help us get a new advertising site up and running. I personally really appreciate their patience and understanding. Many times Don will repeat (2 or 3 times) what he has just gone through in order to help one of us who can't quite grasp the concept we are talking about or got lost on the previous page and can't figure out how to advance to the page everyone else is on. Many times there is a lot of information to cover, and I can hear the frustration in Don's voice when we aren't quite moving as fast as he had planned on. Penny is always very helpful in these situations. She seems to intuitively know what it is that is causing the hang up with the rest of us and helps to redirect the lesson a little so that those of us that are struggling can grasp the information a little better.
Don and Penny make a fantastic team. I have learned so much during their calls. In fact if I have to work on Thursday afternoons, their recorded call is the first one I will listen to when I have a few minutes to sit at the computer.
For any one who is new or struggling with learning the computer, I highly recommend everyone give these calls a listen. You will definitely learn new things!

Zero Dollar for Advertising
What is your advertising budget? How much are you spending to make your company
profitable? Too much? Are you over Budget? Or would you just like to spend less?
What would you say if I told you I could show you how to cut your advertising costs?
Well... I can!
If you are like most network marketers, the problem is you have no budget to
begin with. You have no money coming in from the business to pay for advertising and your
personal budget is already stretched to the limit. After all, needing extra money was the
driving force in starting a network marketing business.
There are many ways to advertise your company and/or products. Some costing lots
of money. Some only a little. And luckily for both you and me, some do not cost you
anything. That's right $0.00. The trick is in knowing what they are and where to
find them.
This is where MentoringForFree comes to the rescue. On many of the
MentoringForFree skills training calls we discuss different methods of advertising which
cost nothing but your time and energy. With some hard work your company can compete with
others who are spending thousands of dollars for their advertising. Oh come on...you
have to put out some effort if you expect to make any kind of money. We can't do it all
for you. We can only give you the tools and show you how to use them. You are the one who
has to apply this information to your situation and your company.
The idea of spending $0.00 for advertising may sound unbelievable, but is the
truth. In fact, 2 of my favorite mentors, Don Standard and Penny Dude have a training call
every Thursday afternoon which is devoted to exactly that topic. Advertising your
company on a $0.00 budget. Don Standard and Penny Dude specifically train their listeners
on various formats that can be used to "sell" your product or company. It does not matter
what company or product it is. These calls are always generic and can be applied to all
situations.
Do not think you have to spend lots of money to make money! Well, I suppose you
can if you want to, but there are many many ways for you to advertise without spending
any money at all.
For the sake of your pocketbook, the piggy bank on the dresser, and for the
advancement of your business, get on one of these calls. You will be glad you did!

Multiple Streams of Income
Multiple streams of income...sounds like it really should make you a lot of money.
Doesn't it? That's what a lot of different MLM companies have been telling us. But is it
true? What do they mean by multiple streams of income? How many people do you know that
have been making money this way? I know I haven't. I just seem to have multiple streams
of out go. Yep, that's right. The more things I get involved in, the more money goes out
the window. "They" tell you, you have to spend money to make money....you are investing
in your future...how much is your future worth...you need to buy this to be
successful...and of course there are many other things you have heard to this effect.
At first it all sounds so logical.
If you have a regular job and you need more money, what do you do? Ask your boss for a
raise? (in today's economy few businesses are passing out raises or bonuses to their
employees) Get a part time job?(yes, you could do that, if you can find something to work
around the hours you all ready work at your full time job) Get a full time second job?
(yes, that too is an option, but again, it needs to be flexible enough to work around your
primary job) These all could bring in more money. Right? So... Wouldn't having multiple MLM
business lines also bring in that added income? Why does it not work in the network
marketing business?
I've talked to dozens of recruiters, and people calling themselves mentors, or
other such names that are suppose to give you confidence and trust in what they are
saying, but it seems they are all telling me I need to fork over money I just don't have.
I mean, how can I invest in any thing (a business, my future, the piggy bank on my
dresser) if I can't even pay this month's phone bill? Yet that is exactly what they say.
Sadly they just don't get it. And truthfully, til now...I believed them, and did not pay
that telephone bill so I could "invest" in that future I so badly wanted, and only got deeper in
debt. Because of course, I was only putting more money in someone else's pocket and less
in mine.
What's the answer?
Educating yourself about the different MLM companies, picking a 5 pillar company, and concentrating all your efforts into developing and growing that one company. No MLM company is going to make you money with out you putting in a lot of hard work. No matter what "they" say, It just does not happen with out you putting in that work. So why spread yourself so thin that nothing is accomplished on any level?
Don't believe all the things you are told when some one is trying to "sell" you on something. Get Educated about the business, from someone other than the person trying to sell you the business. Before you buy into the business.
How? There are many ways to educate yourself. Google it! Google the founder of the company. Google the person who is trying to sell you on the company. Check out the Better Business Bureau. Do the same kind of research into the business you would do if you were going to buy a car, or a house, or a refrigerator. Don't be rushed into any kind of decision. Especially if it is going to cost you any of your hard earned money.
If you need help in educating yourself about any MLM business, there is a FREE program that you may call upon at any time. This is the MentoringForFree program. Like the name implies... it is totally free. Always. If you have done your own investigation and still would like more help... http://denise.mentoringforfree.com Our motto is ... a mentor with a servant's heart. To your success.
