Todd Falcone....someone I respect very highly in our industry....recently shared a "hit you between the eyes" forum message EVERYONE should take note of. I provided it below...edited a bit for some of the non-relative content. My advice...sit down, remove any distractions, and read carefully.
============================
Hype And Crap In MLM Advertising
I read everything. Literally, every time I am surfing the web.....I look at ad copy, squeeze pages, sales letter pages, etc. Plus, I read all of the "printed" MLM publications and it shocks me to see some of the B.S. ads people run to attract people to respond.
My question is this: Why not simply get CREATIVE, think OUTSIDE of the box a bit and simply write a GOOD QUALITY ad, rather than make yourself look stupid?
I know it is critically important in advertising to set yourself apart from the competition and to make your opportunity and/or product or service, but man...what's with all the crap out there. I mean...the companies being advertised might be good companies, but HOW they are being marketed just makes the entire profession look bad.
Here's a few examples (leaving out the actual names of people doing this):
* Joe and Bob will make you rich!
* Dressing up like a clown in your ad.
* Did you miss the Noni, Xango, Eniva, Vemma, Via Viente, Mona Vie Explosions?
* Extremely Fast Cash!
* Entire Downlines Are Already Moving Over!
* Serious Cash, Not MLM, No Selling!
* We LITERALLY do ALL the work FOR you!
I could give my reasons why each of these techniques, actual headlines and subheads used in ads pretty much stink, but you're all smart enough not do to this..... aren't you?
We are in a business that requires work, commitment and skill development. Promoting our profession as something that will make you rich and put super fast money in your pocket without doing any work is simply a lie.
I love this too. Guerilla baby! I see people ALL the time who use my name for Pay-per-Click ads. Smart for sure! But, just do me and you a favor IF you are one of those who use my name or someone else's name to attract leads to your site using Google Ad Words or other PPC avenues.
Don't say:

People do this all the time with my name and others. I don't have a problem with this very geurilla and smart marketing tactic, but don't LIE!
Seriously...if you want to know what I mean, go do a Google search on Todd Falcone and see what people are doing. Do a Google search for ANYONE who has made a name for themselves in this profession and you will see the same thing.
Yes...market.
But....pllleaaasseeee market yourself in a respectable way.
Just my thoughts....

Mindset of Starting an Internet Network Marketing Business for Residual Victory!
Mindset of Starting an Internet Network Marketing Business for Residual Victory!
If you’re a budding or experienced entrepreneur and you’re sick and tired of living the everyday “rat race” and hate living paycheck to paycheck or not seeing any results from your entrepreneurial efforts, I feel your pain.
I used to be the exact same way. I tried almost every get rich quick scheme in the world and the only thing they brought me was more debt. It wasn’t until I was able to change my mind set and visualize the success of a successful Internet Network Marketing business that I was able to break out of the mold and become financially well off.
In this article, I will share with you the secrets of starting a successful Internet Network Marketing business. So, without further adieu, let’s get started.
1. Be committed
Right now, you must stop being flaky. You have to develop a realistic plan and stick to it. No matter what happens you have to visualize success in your mind and don’t let anything or anyone steal your dream. By working hard and remaining steadfast in your dreams of building a successful Network Marketing empire, you can and will succeed. Many past marketers have discovered this secret and you can too. (Most common denominator amonst SIX & Seven figure earners, is they've been with the same (or multiple SAME) companies for 10+ years!)
2. Be enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm can propel miracles and if you use your enthusiasm to motivate yourself, there is nothing at all that you can’t accomplish. Yes, the road will be hard and it may take some time to actually experience success but it will come if you stick to it and put your initial enthusiasm to better yourself to work.
3. Be patient.
Just like Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither will your Network Marketing empire. Take your time and know that you can and will make your dreams a reality. You simply have to keep working at it and trust that it will happen in due time.
4. Don’t give up.
Whatever you do, you cannot give up. Even if you don’t see any results of your hard work and effort, you must keep at it. You must press on and be like others who have triumphantly gone before you. The key is to keep going despite difficult times.
5. Choose a product/service believe in.
Many Network Marketing professionals choose products or services based on how much commission they can make, the key is to choose a product that you believe in. By doing this, you’ll stay constantly motivated and will be able to trudge forward with enthusiasm and excitement. (ie... will YOU USE your OWN autoship & run out every month of your product, YES!?)
6. Use viral marketing.
People enjoy talking about positive products and services so use this to your advantage. By giving them something “positive to talk about” you can ensure that you build a great reputation and reap a hundredfold.
7. Expect success. Always expect success. Know that in your heart and mind that you can make your Network Marketing business a success. Internet Network Marketing isn’t easy but it can and will make you rich if you work on your goals daily!
In conclusion, you can have a successful online Network Marketing business if you are committed, enthusiastic, patient, don’t give up, choose a product/service you believe in, use viral marketing, and expect success.
