Can a Little Guy Battle the Gurus in the Game of Internet Marketing?
You may think that thousands of people are flocking online daily to seek out their rightful place among Internet marketing giants who have created a virtual empire of passive profits.
But while they may be looking into it, many prospective Internet marketers are too intimidated to actually do anything to stake their claim.
The primary reason? They don't know how to produce a product with an unusual or unique slant.
But guess what, you don't have to produce a product at all, and you don't have to be an expert or guru to start earning money with Internet Marketing.
Whats your reason?
Many newbie 'net marketers believe that if one person is already successfully selling an information product on affiliate marketing, then there's no room at the top, so they drop their dreams and return to the shackles of a 9-5 daily grind in corporate America (or elsewhere in the world).
You can be successful.
There is more to internet marketing than being a 'guru'!
But in order to be successful, the Internet marketer has to come onto the marketplace with insurmountable confidence so that his or her target audience will believe the message that's being sold.
You need to pick a product or a topic that you have a passion about. Be able to exude confidence in your writing by knowing about your product and really liking what you do.
People are tired of dealing with the spam and all the automated in your face websites and marketing schemes. They want to deal with a real person, someone like them.
Your passion and being real will show in your marketing and writing and people will be attracted to you.
It might start slow, but once people start to find you, word spreads. Real people will email friends and put you on their myspace or blog page.
More people find you and do the same - it starts a snowball effect. And it all started with being real and putting yourself out there.
A guru isn't someone who knows better how to do something. A guru, in the Internet marketing world, is someone who did it in an original fashion and/or someone who has been earning a living steadily online for a long amount of time and therefore knows his or her "stuff."
A little guy may be new to selling a product, but that doesn't mean he or she hasn't worked online for months or years to learn the ropes. If you were able to come online and learn Internet marketing well enough that it allowed you to succeed in a short amount of time, then that makes you a guru in your own right.
Many people are, in fact, turned off by the word "guru" and get bored of reading about someone's expertise. Fresh is a good thing in the world of Internet marketing, so before you throw in the towel and call it quits, make sure you at least give your dreams a shot at success and see if the public is willing to invest in your knowledge.
Remember that enthusiasm boils over, even on a static web page. So if you believe in your product, then it doesn't matter what niche you're targeting for your Internet marketing efforts - your audience will soak up your attitude and carry the torch for you into the realm of profits and guru status yourself!
Looking for the right product?
You see the potential of the internet but are not sure what to sell --
So you have decided you are willing to put in the time and effort to market on the internet but you are not sure what to sell.
Selling information and your expertise are great things. There is no shipping, no cost of production, just the one time creation of the message.
MLM and network marketing provide the perfect marriage of product, information and the internet.
With these companies you are educating people on different products. Products that they can't find in the stores. You become the expert, the 'guru', that people listen to because you are giving them free advice and trying to help them find the best products for them.
The MLM company has the problems of producing the product, collecting the money, and shipping the product.
The key to good internet marketing is to provide people with real content that is helpful to them. If they develop a trust in you and what you have to say, you become the 'guru'.
Once that happens, you won't have to sell anymore, people will come to you wanting to buy.
Don't forget, 98% of the people that start a web page or marketing on the Internet will quit. They just give up.
Anyone willing to put in some time and have the determination to follow through can and will succeed.
It's not an overnight thing, it takes time and it takes commitment.
Will you be one of those 2% that succeed?
Expect Success, Create Success!

This is not a bad thing, actually it is a great thing if you are a man.

If is just the opposite.If you are really looking for a networkmarketing business, candles are the perfect place to get started.
So what can I offer to you?
Candles are one of the top selling gifts in America. They have even been voted the top gift choice in recent polling.They are a hot product and with the advent of new, gourmet, healthy wax candles that don't produce the harmful soot and toxins the home candle business is really in its infancy.The opportunity is there, it only requires someone who has the desire to create a network and the ability to be trained to do it right.That is where I come in. I have a team of people ready to help you be successful in your home candle business.We are ready to be your mentor and coach, are you ready to join us?
Your Home Candle Business -
Here are 3 ways we can train you to make money
It is very important for you to be clear on what you are trying to achieve and what your goals are when you start a new business. A home candle business is no different. It is your commitment that ultimately determines your success.We are here to match you level of commitment. There are 3 ways for you to make money and achieve success with a network marketing home business.
- Retail sales: This is one of the best ways to make money quickly. It is a perfect way to get some money in the bank quickly so you can stop using your personal funds to support your business. The old adage of "It takes money to make money" is quite often true.This can include home parties, office parties, open houses, information seminars, direct face to face selling, booths, shows, expos, gift baskets, corporate gifts, realtor open house and new home buyer gifts; teacher and specialty gifts; and much more. You are only limited by your imagination.From my experience this is quite often the place where most men feel inadaquate. How can we talk about candles. WE don't burn candles. But just imagine having something to talk about to all those women you come in contact with everyday at work, at the store, everywhere. Don't you think they would find it refreshing to hear about something besides the game on TV last night.
- Fundraisers: There are hundreds of groups out there doing fundraisers all the time. Schools, bands, clubs, sports teams. This is where I think being a man can give us a little advantage. When you call up the local youth football league, the coach is usually male. And no matter how far women have come in the workplace, the football coach will more often than not listen to you, a Man, before he does a woman.It seems like the more things change the more they stay the same. I have a huge respect for women in the workplace and even more so women who choose to stay at home and take care of their kids while trying to do a work from home job. But despite my feelings, men (and sometimes even women) working in business, making monetary decisions will quite often go with a male salesman over a female. It may be a sad fact but I believe it is a fact and its just another reason I see a home candle business as being a perfect place for the right guy to really make it big.
- Team building: Team building is what creates residual income. It is how you can leverage time and make it work for you instead of against you.The Heart of Network Marketing is team building. It is not a pyramid scheme but a solid marketing approach that allows you to get paid on what you do as well as get a residual income of the efforts you put into your team.
