MLM Residual Income Success with Network Marketing Leads

Mlm residual income success with network marketing leads is the way most network marketers do business, at least part of the business. There are always product demonstrations, bump-intos, etc.

The question always is, how do I find people to talk to? Where do I get leads?

There are many companies willing to sell you leads anywhere from a few cents a lead to several dollars a lead. We are told the the more expensive leads are "pre-qualified". Well, I've never found them to be any more valuable than the others.

Would you believe it, I've never had one of those leads pan out at all. Most people I talk to haven't had good luck with them, either.

People who are on leads lists generally signed up for something else, fell for a "ground floor" brand new network marketing scheme - designed mostly to build lead lists - and have had their names recycled, re-hashed, and re-sold to unsuspecting network marketers.

When you talk to the leads - if they'll even answer the phone, let alone speak with you - you find they have no recollection of signing up as an interested party in starting a home-based-business. What a waste of their time and yours! Or mine.

And, sadly, there are some network marketing companies that teach you the way to find leads is to buy theirs. You may not know that the money you pay goes to someone upline in the company or even the owner. You may never earn a dime, but they do all right.

Does the term "do your due diligence" strike a cord with anyone? Ask where they came from.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to talk to anyone who doesn't want to talk to me. I want the people who raise their hand.

Mum's the word, but there is a better way. More about that next time.

MLM Residual Income and Tax Freedom Day

My good friend and personal mentor Art Jonak gave a training on Tax Freedom Day.

He said that the analysts figured out that this year April 23 was the tax freedom day. That means that, considering all the federal income tax we pay, the income we get up to April 23, the amount, that is, goes to Uncle Sam for taxes. Everything we earn after that is ours.

This, of course, is not addressing state, property, sales, taxes, and all the other hidden taxes we pay.

Art also mentioned that those of us in network marketing have an earlier Tax Freedom Day. That's because we have more legitimate tax deductions.

So, here's to and earlier Tax Freedom Day!

Wishing you success with mlm residual income and Tax Freedom Day,

MLM Residual Income - Full Circle with Duplication

My mother is not in network marketing, has nothing to do with mlm residual income or lead generation. However, she fits into the "Full Circle" category.

How do I mean?

My late maternal grandmother Irene, mom's mother, may she rest in peace, used to have a braille machine and transcribed books into braille for the folks with vision impairement.

My mother, now in her 80's (she doesn't want me to say exactly - can you relate?) recently had hip replacement surgery on her right leg. Since she couldn't get out and drive herself till last week she spent time translating a book into an audio on tape for folks with visual impairment. She has a cousin who just lives on those audio books.

Anyway, what we're seeing here is duplication of my grandmother's contribution to society. Only the technology has changed. Mom never learned braille, but she can read and talk just fine. So much of her life has been totally different than my grandmother's, but there has been full circle with this particular service. Can my mother teach others how to read and create new audio book tapes? Certainly.

I'm really proud of my grandmother and my mother for lots of reasons. This duplication put me in mind of network marketing. Success comes from duplication. You want to do the work right one time and keep getting paid for that, and be able to teach others to do the same.

The system has to be one that you can plug anyone into and that person can be successful. People are not duplicatable, but systems are. Of course, it helps if the system has a proven track record of success. And it is mandatory that the system is working today. And that you can do it, and show others how to use it.

I'm sure that braille books are being printed, or rather, punched all the time. But there are so many people today who need the audio versions who are visually impaired due to age-related issues and never learned, nor will learn braille. So, plugging people into creating audio books is current and duplicatable. And they can be successful doing it and feel good about doing a wonderful service.

Wishing you mlm residual income success by coming full circle with duplication,

MLM Residual Income - Happy Tax Day

If you have a business you operate from home then you probably know the secret to yesterday's Happy Tax Day.

Forgive me if I celebrate a day that is painful to so many. You're probably wondering: is she nuts?

Part. of operating a business from home is - ready? - T A X S A V I N G S.

I'll never be without a home-based business.

Well, I get to deduct the space in my home that I use as an office, I get to deduct my business miles, and with a sign or two on my car, they're all business miles. Anything I purchase on autoship is considered advertising, therefore deductible. Business supplies, business travel, postage - well, you get the idea - it all helps reduce my income taxes. Of course, I keep track in case the IRS ever wants to check, which they did, once.

I save all my receipts and used to just put them in ziplock baggie and envelopes. Now I use Neat Receipts and scan them in. I keep a record of the online stuff, well, online, but backed up.

I've learned from my accountant what I need to account for and what is allowable.

I also have changed my withholding exemptions so that I bring home more pay from my job. That is an instant pay raise.

Please don't take my word for this - check with an accountant. But it must be an accountant who specialized in mlm taxes. Not all accountants know the ins-and-outs of mlm tax rul

One accountant, a friend of mine, was absolutely sure I could not show a loss for more than 3 years and still count it as a business. I remember being in the car in the back seat on the way to a play. My friend was in the front seat just in front of me. I recall her tossing her head and shrugging her shoulders and telling me "good luck".

It was like I was slapped and made to feel stupid and wrong.

If she was my accountant and I found out later she was wrong, which she is, I'd be furious and that may well end the friendship.

Be careful who you choose as a tax adviser!

It could cost you thousands or dollars - or save them!

My accountant happens to be in Tennessee and I mail, fax, and email stuff to her, but I have heard from other accountants that mine is exactly right. By the way, if you ever want to speak with mine, let me know. Edie's awesome.

Your accountant doesn't have to be local to you. A lot of people have accountants in places far from them.

Anyway, hope your Tax Day was as happy as mine.

Wishing you mlm residual income and happy tax day in the future,

MLM Residual Income and Being a Leader

I never desired being a leader, especially. I grew up contented to be a "worker bee", not the queen. That may have had something to do with not having a lot of confidence in myself, although I did well in school and have always had the ability to be creative with words and music. While I had friends, I was rather a loner, and that also had to do with my family situation, another story sometime.

What is it that makes leaders different? How can anyone look into the future to see who will rise from follower status to becoming a recognized leader – someone who is widely accepted as a guru? Probably a lot of people figure that when you look at a leader, you see certainty and passion and enthusiasm. With those elements, a person inspires confidence in others. You probably don't have a bunch of statistics to back it up, but I'll bet you've noticed the same thing in your life. Man or woman, the person who exudes confidence is easy to follow. And what about the one without it? You may not even know they exist. That was pretty much how I felt.

For people to follow you, you must have chosen a path you have very strong belief in. It's important to be 100% sure, because any doubt in your voice or in your actions comes through loud and clear to everyone who is looking at you. When you show the clear mental toughness to lead in one definite direction, then you have a real opportunity to gather followers. On the other hand, if you run around in several different directions, then people will keep on looking for a leader.

It's always surprising how many people look to others to guide them when, if they just Googled their question, they’d have an answer. True leaders don't wait for others to make a move to do it for them. They find a model of what they want, then they figure it out and make it work. When a leader doesn't understand how to do something, they try it anyway. This isn't revolutionary. Every one of us learns to drive by driving. Success as a leader means you have a "think REALLY big" mindset, and then doing the necessary actions. A leader absolutely knows that they are the ONLY one responsible for their future, so they do the logical actions that will bring the results they want.

It took me a long time to really "get" this. I am just starting to do videos and have a friend standing by to walk me through Windows MovieMaker. However today, while I had some time, I "Googled" it and the answers were there. So, I'll try it without him and will call him only if I get really stuck. Why? Because I grew into a leader.

Wishing you mlm residual income success by being a leader,
