You can say “Get Lost” to your prospect, there are DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH and DIAMONDS.


Think I’m crazy? Actually I’m awesome and smart, and so are you. What separates you from me is that I know when something smells fishy.

In network marketing there is this notion you need to sign up a TON of people yourself but the reality is that in most MLM’s you don’t have to personally recruit 150 people to make good money – it’s called duplication, the single most important thing in any MLM, period.

That’s right, I said it. When you are building a team in your MLM there will be “DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH and DIAMONDS ”.

A DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH is someone who joins the business under you excited, motivated, pumped up. They spend some time learning more detailed information and getting knowledgeable…and eventually getting out there to build the business. However…they spend a month or two “trying” (just talking to people when it’s convenient) with little to no success. They begin to ask you for help, for advice. You provide them some tips and tricks spending a couple hours of your time assisting them, great! That DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH goes out re-energized, ready to take on the world…and PLOP…nothing to show for their “work”. Then they come back to you asking “why can’t I make this work?” and similar questions. This is the type of person in your organization that makes you little to NO money. They can suck out a ton of time from you but it doesn’t grow your business. This is a situation where you need to prioritize with people who ARE growing.

There are also the “DIAMONDS” who need only a small (if any) amount of help from you. These are the people that are go-getters, passionate and driven to succeed. They’ll do whatever it takes to grow their business without nagging you every week or few days.

You’re team is going to be made of both of these types of individuals BUT YOU need to dedicate time to the people who are growing your team. It’s tempting to let anyone join directly through you but can you give each person the time they might need? It’s impossible and unproductive. This does NOT make the best use of your time, unfortunately.

At some point you need to look in the mirror and say “I am looking for quality entrepreneurs – DIAMONDS , not DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH.” It’s OKAY to say “Get lost” (although I wouldn’t use THOSE two words) after you’ve got some basic questions answered from the prospect.

Are they afraid to invest money? WILL they put at least an hour a day towards the business? WILL they dedicate 2 years to build a team? Are they coach-able, trainable and duplication? WILL they follow instructions?

Please notice I said “Will” not “Can”. We all CAN do it but that doesn’t mean diddly squat. Ability verse action – keep that in mind.

So…don’t be afraid to say No. You want a strong, passionate team who is absolutely on board for themselves and your team (and their team).

I’m always looking for these people, and only these people. It doesn’t matter if I personally bring in 50 DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH. If I bring in 10 DIAMONDS , my business will flourish in comparison…same goes for you.

Are you a DIAMONDS ? Ready to do something great? Will you be a leader? You don’t have to have the experience because it’s really not hard in the right network marketing business.

….and if you’re looking for a network marketing business, tired of being burned…send me an email or use my contact form. Let’s talk – no catch or strings attached.

How Do Affiliate Marketing Programs Work?



Affiliate marketing programs work in a way that is benefits the marketer as well as the business owner as the products receive wide recognition and commission is only paid out if a point of sale has been reached.

This ideal business environment has become very popular in Internet marketing and the costs involved in setting up the structure are relatively low for the marketer as well as the businessman.

Savvy Internet entrepreneurs have discovered that affiliate marketing is the way to go. It provides the option of earning money fast and easy. This combination has attracted many marketers because of the high profitability prospects.

Entrepreneurs that have made affiliate marketing a full time career often first try and connect to programs that pay out high commissions. They also target programs that generate a high sales count. This of course means that the higher the sales, the higher the commission payout.

How do they do it?

Affiliate marketers’ set up websites that promotes or advertises the client’s products or services. A linkup is made between the business website and the marketer.

The marketer then proceeds to make careful study of prospective business opportunities and their websites are selected according to reliability and the type of product and brand inventory.

They then connect to many of the literally thousands of affiliate website programs on the Internet to promote the products. Certain products are targeted for specific websites that they know will generate high sales counts. Through clever and eye catching advertising techniques sales are promoted and the marketer ends up collecting the commission.

How to Make Money at Home Online


In order to get extra income, a lot of individuals resort to getting a second job. Nevertheless, the smarter ones opt to make money from the internet. The internet offers numerous ways to earn money on the side. Listed here are a few good ways to make money at home online.

1. Sell products online. There is definitely clutter in your house that can be sold instead of thrown away. Whether pre-owned or brand new, there are things you can actually sell in the internet. You may have collectibles you want to dispose of or designer bags that you have to give away. Why don’t you post these things online so that they can be disposed in exchange of profits? A lot of auction sites and social networking sites allow you to put up your own online store. Some may require minimum fees while others do not require you to pay them anything. If you do not have little treasures in your home but you can practically make good handicrafts, why don’t you start taking pictures of them to create a portfolio or products? Post them online and start enticing customers to order.

2. Get a home-based job. A second job outside home is a thing of the past; only a few individuals resort to this option. There are a number of home-based jobs to choose from. These jobs perfectly fit your schedule because they do not require you to check in every now and then. Freelance writing jobs and teaching jobs are two of the most sought-after jobs in the internet. Freelance writing has its benefits; you can write whatever you want and whenever you want to. You do not have to walk into an office to submit your output and ultimately, you are not required to leave home to get your salary. All that you need are a pc and an internet connection and you are good to go. You do not even have to have a writing degree to become a writer. So long as you are equipped with basic writing skills, you can be hired for the position.

3. Engage in Affiliate Marketing. Ask every internet user what he thinks is the best way to earn money online and he will answer you that it is affiliate marketing. In affiliate marketing, income is earned passively. You do not have to check your affiliate business every now and then to make sure that its operations are perfectly working. To become an affiliate is to become an advertiser of a product. In this business, you help a merchant advertise his product in exchange of a commission. The good news is you do not even have to do it yourself; your blog or your website does it for you. Nevertheless, to be a truly successful affiliate, you have to have enough background of affiliate marketing and enough education about it. It is recommended for you to do your research and ask help from the most successful affiliates before you formally engage in this form of money-making activity.

Join for Free, Make Money!

Hello 

Typically the phrases "Join for Free" and "Make Money" don't go hand in hand, except in the case I'm about to share with you.

Like you, though, I dreamed of an opportunity that would be free and one where you could actually make money and fast!

Well, that day is here!

And even people with no marketing skills are making money just as well as I am.  How?  Well it's because we don't have to buy or sell anything.  Right there, since most of us hate to buy things we don't need and sell things others don't want, that makes this idea so appealing!

What Is This New Social Media Site All About?

It's about the advertising revenues that sites like Facebook profit from, but that are never shared with the Facebook community.  With this new site they share the advertising revenues with their entire online community.  How cool is that?!

What Do You Have To Do To Earn Money?

Do what you normally do.  Like with Facebook, you can email your friends, send links to funny sites, chat online, upload photos and videos to be shared with your friends.  As you log on to the site, you generate "people points" and those translate to dollars.

Does It Work?

That was my original concern, but since I signed-up I have never regretted it. Everyday more people join in my social network and amazingly I am making pretty good money for just doing what I normally do.

  • Check my email
  • Check in with my many Groups
  • Chat online with my Friends
  • Post photos to my albums
To really see this explained, head over to our free support site.  There are several great videos that explain it very well.

Videos Explaining How People String Works!

 In my first week, I made over $100.  Just think... in my first month I could be earning $400 extra income.  And this can be done by joining for free.



Now there is an upgrade for those who really want to make money fast, but for most people, joining for free will be all they need to do.  In fact, that is what I did.  I joined free, and then I decided to take advantage of the higher commissions you earn at the "Entrepreneur" level.

Not sure about this?

Remember it's free to join.
There's nothing you have to buy.  Ever!
There's nothing you have to sell.  Ever!
You can invite as many others as you want.
The more people you invite the more you can earn.

And you'll begin to laugh every time you see an ad on the site.  I do.  Because I know I can earn part of the advertising revenue that is shared with all the members of People String.

Plus, my team and I show you on our daily webinars how to maximize your time and returns on the site.  Yep, no matter if you are in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia or Africa, you can participate in People String and begin making money... for doing the things you normally do.

Mondays 1pm Mountain (3pm Eastern USA) with Carol Cash

Do you read email?  Yes!
Do you search Google? Yes!

Do you ignore advertising? Yes!
