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
I'll never be without a home-based business.
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
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.
Anyway, hope your Tax Day was as happy as mine.
