Social Networking Who Pay Members Like MLMs Do…

Posted by: God Speed... in ,


This information I was read on Cremonti’s Blog on Thursday, November 06th, 2008. Hmm, I was wonder what is it? When I finished read the article I just still can’t belief that there are program like that, like Friendster but they pay their member for doing activities…
The program is call Yuwie.

Based on the blog’s article, this Yuwie program pay their member up to 10 levels and yes it pay not just for signing up but also for doing activities on Yuwie like blogging, give comments and receive comments, etc. But, in the article not say any about seminars or trainings. Based on that, then I have come to this conclusion that Yuwie is using MLM system but without seminars, trainings, opp etc like MLMs use to have, because the program itself is a social networking program where you meet and socialize with peoples, and you get pay for that.

Now, if you want to know more about Yuwie, then you may be want to view Cremonti's Blog. And if you like you may want to join now click here.

Ok, that all for today, remember Yuwie When Social Networking Meet MLM....

Multi Level Marketing

Posted by: God Speed... in

MLM is direct selling program expansion of MGM program. That mean that in MLM the company pay the comition of their member not only for one level. In MLM industry products is a must, without it MLM is only a money game program. Although today many MLM company doesn’t give their members a selling target points, but every member must buy products once a month. They can sell it or they can use it for theirselves. The comition or bonuses is come both from products selling/buying and recruiting new member.

To joint with MLM program we need to pay for signing up as member, normally it is not so expensive about Rp. 80.000 to Rp. 200.000 (as far as I know) just for membership, not including products but the company usually give us the manual to run the business call starterkit or starterpack or something like that. And sure we need upline or sponsor to sign us up, without them we cannot joint the program.

Each level usually have a name, such as *1, *2, *3, *4, Bronce Lion, Silver Lion, Gold Lion, Diamong Gold Lion, 21%, Silver Producer, Diamond, Platinum, Saphire Founder, etc. Basically there are two kind of level, active income level and passive income level. Every program is begin with active income level, and finish in passive income only if they keep figthing built their network and not surrender.

Good MLM must have support system. Support system is an organization that providing members with tools and strategy to get success in the programs. And the great strategy must can be done by almost all people from any races, religions, classes, backgrounds, ages and so. Usually they have events like home meetings, open plan presentations, seminars, trainings and other events in days, weeks, months and annual events. Those events are important things they must attending, because only there they will find something they won’t found in their daily life. There is the place where they looking for more spirits, more optimistics, more encourages and more supports to face the world that maybe not positive with the programs. Whatever the reason is, after attending an event most members will have new spirits new energy new reason to expanding their network faster then before, and some will do so and make it happen.

In Indonesia there are many MLM company such as Tianshi (Tiens) from China, AmWay from USA, CNI, Sophie Martin, K-Link, and many more.

MGM v.s. Affiliate

Posted by: God Speed... in


In my previous post I was say that affiliate is one of MGM business. You may disagree with me, let's analize it once more. I'm gonna take an example, how about Amazon.com? It is a great e-commerce that using affiliate system to sell their products. It is free to sign up here as an affiliater and you will reviece your unique links. You either want to promote your link directly to Amazon.com or you maybe want to build blog or website that review the products you will sell. But in here you are not do networking for yourself, you much more act as an agent here. You sell their products you may interest or you maybe buy some of them and you refer it to your friends, close friends, relatives, girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband and even totally strangers. If someone buy the products from your link, the company/merchant will pay your comition. If you don't make any sale, you don't get paid even if the company/merchant have thousands of sale at that day because it is not you who refer the customers.


PTC, PTR, Pay Per Post, etc is also use this system. But in these programs you get paid each time your referalls take an action, it is not one time payment. PTC for example, each time your referall take action clicking the ads, you get some persentage payment. But if your referall's referall take action you get nothing. For a moment, it is seem that even when you do nothing you will get paid as long as your referall take action. Well think again, they (your referalls) are not gonna take an action surfing and clicking ads forever. Some of them maybe also want to retire from surfing and clicking too as you are, and your income will stop there. But, that doesn't mean this business is not good, it's fine. As long as you keep looking for referalls as many as it possible.


Reselling is also use this system. The same like Amazon.com, you will get pay if there is sale from you. But, usually to be a reseller you have to buy the merchant product, some will let you join for free but there is conditions you must fullfil. That's also mean that you need to signup first to join their program. They give you your unique links to promote their products to your prospects. Each time there is new signup from your links and buy the products, you get pay. Sometimes reselling is also call affiliation. Maybe this is the most appropriate example to explain what I mean about Affiliate MGM Program. As MGM is to Member Get Member, in this program you will make your prospects to signup under you (you = member, your prospect signup = member ; you get your new signup = member get member) and buy the product and you get pay (affiliate program). It is Affiliate MGM Program.


Still, you are not really build Network for yourself. You build it for your merchant. Because each time there are sales from any members the merchant sure get their income while you maybe not. Again, it is fine to join this business. I join with some of this business. You may click links below or you may look at my sidebar.


“TAKE ACTION NOW DON'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE”


Ok... All those business I mentioned above are online business. Is there any offline business with MGM system? Honestly I don't know because as far as I know I never join offline MGM, at least until now. Maybe there are, or maybe you know more then I do...


Wait a minute, maybe I know... What about Franchising? Is that MGM? Assurance Agency? Is that MGM too? you tell me...

Member Get Member

Posted by: God Speed... in

Member Get Member (MGM) is one of Networking Business. In this business, you must get new signup or customer under your references to get pay. And you get pay only one time. You never get pay if your referalls get new member.

It is not only for membership, sometimes hat also to buy product or services. Like affiliation, or reseller. I Would prefer to say that these two type of business is include in MGM. Because, our comition by refering people only pay for one time and not include if our referall get new signup.

So, as I learn, today it is seem to me that MGM is actually not a Network Business for the members. It is Networking for the company who apply this system. Whenever there are new signups from any of it's members, the company sure have it's pay for its products or sevices, while the only member who get paid is the one who refer the products/services to that new customer.

That is MGM in my opinion...

next post more about the other categories of Network Marketing Business...

My Story in Network Marketing Industry

Posted by: God Speed... in ,

First time I know about network marketing business is two years ago, in March 2006. I was joined with one of the biggest Multi Level Marketing in Indonesia by that time. The products is ok, the system is ok. They mention that there are no need to have selling target each month, but still I must buy at least two type of their products every month beside recruiting new customer if I want to step to next level, while my commision was not even close enough to buy their products again and again each month. I think that I can’t do that anymore so I quit eigth month later. But I wasn’t giving up. I learn from it. Those peoples in MLM industry has spirits of enterpreneurship and leadership. Always focus on target. Not easy to give up. I try to take that lesson.

In early 2008, my old friend come to me and introduce me with another MLM Company. But, they do not want to call their system as MLM just because they doesn’t have stockists as other MLM companies does. I join them, because I saw the products is more varies then the other one. At first time, I think that their system is more simple. But, when I read once more and carefully this time, I found that it is not as simple as it look. Imagine, to achieve certain position, we have to accomplish with a spesific qualification that we must achieve at certain times, like we need to reach it six times and three times of them must be in a row, in one year business periode. Reading that statement, to me it is equal to reach certain point or selling target in one year. If I only reach one or two times of the qualification, or maybe I have reach for six times, but there are never in a row for three months or just two months of those six times in that one year periode then I am not qualified to go to next level. And after that one year periode, then my status will be reset, so I need to start it once again. Don’t I? or let’s say that I can reach the qualification but can I duplicate it to my groups? Because Network is about duplicating. Not everybody has the same ability, although we are bless with the same opportunity. So I decide not to continuing it, and never again went to their seminars. But, still I believe that Networking is a great way to success…

So I never stop searching and learning more and more about networking. Soon I know from internet that Networking is not only about MLM. What I learn next is that to me Network Marketing can be devide into six categories. They are Member Get Member (including Affiliates Marketing), Multi Level Marketing, Viral Marketing, Piramide Schemes, Money Games, and Combination of Affiliate – MLM. For me, all have their positive (good) and negative (bad) sides.
And today, I have sign up with one that I think is really fit with me, at least until now… I hope this is my way to success… And this time is not MLM, but still a Network Marketing Industry.
Next times I will share about each of those categories, as far as I understand about them.

Keywords Redefine

Posted by: God Speed... in ,


Today I learn that my keyword on this blog is too wide in range. I was use "business" as keywords. I found that it is not efective, too many competitors while I still new in this area. I think that this migth be one of so many reasons why my blog is hard to crawling to good position in search engines like http://www.google.com/. So, I want to change my keyword to be a little bit more spesific as what internet marketers call as niche market.. But, what would it be the best is?


Hmmm… let’s see. My blog is about learning business. I posted my articles based on what I know, what I hear, what I learn, my experiences in doing business. But all those articles I wrote was actually from one type of business I am running. That s Network Marketing, or some peoples name it just Networking. May be I should use : "Learn Network Marketing Business" as the keyword phrase and my title, don’t you think?.


But please note that I will not ask you directly to join with me in my network business, if you wish to join with me you may see the link in my sidebar. My articles will only gonna provide you with information that may be usefull for you in running network business, especially for rookie guys like me, no matter which company you are in.

Business = Daily Life

Posted by: God Speed... in

When you heard the word “Business”, what would you think in your mind? Job? Work? Buy and Sell? Money? Spend? Cost? Demand? Supply? Need?

“Business is about all activities and institutions that produce and/or provide, distributes and consumes necessary things and services that we need in our daily life” (Translated from Pengantar Bisnis, Jatmiko,RD,UMM Press 2004, Malang, page : 2).

If you read the phrase above once again, you will realize that everything is about business, aren’t they? Think about this:

When you use your phone or internet you sure need money to pay the connection, aren’t you? If you want to go to some place, work maybe, you need transport. Whether it is a cab or your own car, you need money to pay the cab or to buy gas, rigth? You store your money in a bank, you got interest every month but you also need to pay for their sevices every month or so we call administration fee. You also sometimes take loan from a bank, you got money but you have to pay back everymonth to the bank along with the interest added. You buy books, newspapers, magazines. You buy something you need in supermarket, store or something as simple as coffee from your neighbor’s stall.

Government providing us with many public services, such as water supply, electricity, road, public phone, public hospital, and many others services. But, that all is not for free. Water supply, electricity, road are some that we pay in taxes. To use public phone we need coins, and certainly you have to pay medicine and services in hospital even if it is a govement/public hospital. I don’t know about your country, but here in Indonesia we do pay for public hospital’s services.

That’s all business. Involving activities in producing, providing, distributing, and consuming necessary and spesifics things we needed.

So, whether you are a real businessman/businesswoman or just simply a student or an unemployee, you do doing business in your daily life. Why don’t you be the one that provide something they need rather then only as a consumer?

God Bless…

Commitment....

Posted by: God Speed... in

I was about to give up. My business wasn’t run well. At that moment, my very best friend come to me, and he told me this:

“I have a story for you. Listen it, it migth be can help you. There are two different characteristics of people, but the same job, treasure hunters. They have same dreams, and they are about to go to the same place, same direction, the treasure land. They know that it is located somewhere in an island across the sea. Each of them have a map to the treasure. Then they build their own ship, each one of them. They cross the sea separately.”
“One month after, they arrive at the island. Just by the shore, the treasure hunter number 1, let’s call him A, suddenly burn and sink his ship. While the other one, B, did not. A said ‘I gonna find it no matter what!’.”

“Then what happen?”, I ask him.

“Then they get into the jungle. In the deep of the jungle, there are so many beasts, snakes, dangerous and unknown creatures. Yet, they keep moving. The deeper they got in the harder the obstacles. Until, there is something ahead that seem impossible for both of them to get through. By that moment B said ‘I can’t do this. Better get back.’, and so he is. A is also almost giving up, but he know that he can’t go back. His ship was already been sunk. He find no other choices, he must keep moving. After a while of struggling and thinking, he found the way. Suddenly, he find that he is already in the land of the gold, he found the treasure. He, the A, find it because he had made his choices to be total in his commitment in the first time he step his foot on the island by sinking his ship. And finally, he found that all those things he get through before wasn’t obstacles actually, simply it’s all the cost he must pay for. That shouldn’t get him down, that should be his power to achieve his goal.”

So, what does my friend try to tell to me? I wasn’t so understand yet until now. He was simply want to remind me about my commitment. My commintment in doing these. My dreams. You migth be have been read my previous post about The Dreams and after that. I was just write it without doing it. That’s my mistakes. Now I will try to do as what I wrote and I’m doing it rigth now.

Didn’t get it yet? Well, it’s all about your Commitment. That’s also a basic foundation we must have. My friend was actually ask me this question :
“How is your commitment level? Are you gonna be treasure hunter number 1 (A) or the other one (B)?”
Ask the same question for yourself…

BRIGTH SKY OVER CLOUDS...

Posted by: God Speed... in

I was watch a movie. Almost in the last part of the movie, that is tought me something. That scenes was so simple. 2 peoples doing a journey to machine city with a purpose to end the war. But in their journey they met with so many obstacles, clouds, tunder, storm are everywhere… the enemy is a head… but their purpose is some place in there.. They must get through the enemy. The enemy was too many,, they can’t beat them all. With the ship they flying, they decide to get through the enemy by overing them, to the sky… pass over the storm.. that’s when I realize that, over the dark clouds there are beautiful sky…, and so they at last arrive to place where they have to… But their goal wasn’t just to get there.. They need to meet the lord of the machine city to make purpose of peace between two world.

What the story want to tell us is that no matter how hard it is, there are always ways, in one or another we can achieve our goals if we do want it to be happen. Consistent, commitment, believe is a must…

As in doing business, one day, two days, two weeks, months maybe not enough to see the result… but someday, if we believe,, really truly deeply believe we will make it happen…

So keep figthing,, never give up…

Take Action...

Posted by: God Speed... in

Now that we have Dreams with very strong compelling reasons – the why must we need to get them – then let’s make our first step to success…
I’m not say this is gonna be easy – it’s not easy for me – but my mentor always support me, encourage me… This tips may help you to make your and my first step to success

  • First of all, let’s spend some time to analyse what make us up to now haven’t yet achieve our goals. This will mean that we need to know what is our weakness so we can strengthen our strengths.
  • I’m so sure every single of us have something that we call "Bad Habits". Let’s exchange it with the better ones. I think this is the most top very difficult one. Changing habits is not as easy as you flip your hands. Try to remind yourself not to do your bad habits anymore every single day, force your self, until you get used to it. One day, your bad habits will be such a history to you.
  • To bring into reality of your dreams, first divide it into more specific step by step goals or objectives. You do need to have specific objectives toward your dreams. The more spesific the more better. Set the specific achievement, spesific orientation and specific time to achieve each one of your objective. That will make you much much more focus focus focus focus and focus.
  • Do not waste energy in doing useless things that is not oriented to your goals. Make sure everything you do is based on what is your objectives. That’s will make you a little more closer to your dreams.
  • Once again, get use to think and remind yourself about your dreams every single day. If you don’t you will forget as soon as you’ve planned them. This is really work. It’s like you pray everyday by remind yourself about them.
  • Let’s Move Now is the important things to do… to get the 1.000.000 steps always begin with 1 single step… rigth here rigth now… don’t wait until tomorrow.

PROTECT YOUR DREAM

Posted by: God Speed... in

My last post was about “The Dream”. Have you found your dream yet. I’m sure you are. Now, what to do after?

Writing or picturing our dream is NOT ENOUGH. We need to protect it in case things aren’t went as well as what we want to. How? Here are my few tips:

  1. Every single day, or second if you have to, remember your dream. Remembering what is your goal in doing somethings will strenghtened you whenever you got down. As my mentor said “FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS”…
  2. Have faith. Believe in your dreams, believe in what you doing to achieve it as soon as possible. Do not ever doubth about it, couse when you do 99.9% you gonna fail.
  3. Give time limit to each of your wishes or dreams. I’m sure you have more then one dreams. Divide them into three periodes. Your shor-term, medium-term and long-term goals. Short-term is less then one year. This will be the things that you think is not so hard to achieve, but sometimes it could be the first most important step before the next step. Medium-term will be about 1 to 5 years to achieve. Your long-terms is your most wanted. The biggest one. You may give time over 5 years. But still, we need to give a limit, such as 10 years.
  4. Pray……… You can do your best, you may give your all effort to realizing your dreams, but it will be nothing and useless if you not pray to God. At least one time a day… Say your thankfulnes…

Try to do so, I believe you gonna make your dreams come true one at a time.
I believe so, I’m trying to do so and now I learn to get used to it…

If you have more tips, please let me know… Maybe I can use it to improve my faith…

May God Bless us all…
Have Faith…

THE DREAM

Posted by: God Speed... in

There are thousands people on the globe know that DREAM is POWER… without it, you’ll never reach something… That’s also required in internet/online business as well as any major of life. Tomas Alpha Eddison discover Ligth, because he had dream it before… Many trial and error he’ve been through, many failure, most people said he is a dumb, many people think he not gonna make it, but that won’t stop him.. He kept figthing, trying and trying and trying….Why?? because he had a dream…. To make the world more beautiful with ligth…. And so, he make his dream come true… and now there is a ligth for us… it’s make our life much better..

But, what dream really is?? Many people can say “dream is what you want, so badly that you gonna give everything you had to make it happen”. Then you will say “I can say that too… But somehow, I feel like I don’t find it yet… Something that I have write as my dream or what I want, it’s feel like I don’t even want it… somehow I feel like I just have to write that because people who tell me about dreams is ussually in common one to another, something like new car, nice house, penthouse, all those lux stuff”, correct?? If you do, then this is migth help you.

My mentor, said “To find what is your dream, something that you’ve desired much, you write every single little think you wanted. Write as much as you want, the more is the better, but write at least 20. When you do then sort them and you need to be wistful, in midnigth is more better, do not use your brain or do not think, use your hearth… Find the compelling reason why you need that. Compelling reason is the most important factors, because that will give you power to make your dream happen. When you wistful which one of those you’ve wrote with your compelling reason make your feel in tears, that migth be the one you most wanted.. That’s your dream….”

Have you found it yet?

When you find it, do not just write it on a piece of paper, tell it to peoples you know or not know… They migth be laugth at you… but remember, that is your dream, your most desire.. Their laugth is your power… you gonna make it happen, and make them salute you…

Make your commitment when you have found your dream…

PTC program, the simple bussiness on internet...

Posted by: God Speed... in

Couple weeks ago I bougth a book, an ebook, that contain an explaination of internet bussinesses. One of them is Paid to Clicks (PTC). I was wonder what is it? When I read it, it is seem simple, so simple. Even I don't need to have a website or blog to get started.
PTC is a program that pay us as a member for clicking and viewing a few seconds of advertisement. Usually, PTC program paid us via AlertPay or PayPall, so before we registered, we need to have an account there. But, how come PTC program paid us? I was wondering too. By reading the book, I see it is really make sense. A company place their ads on PTCs program. When their ads is clicked and viewed for few seconds by member of PTC program, the company pay the PTC, then PTC pay us...usually between $0.01 - $0.03 per ads. Make sense, isn't it? You maybe see that it is very low payment, rigth?, How come I will make good money from such program? The answer is that we need to have referrals. Every time our referrals click and view ads for a certain time, beside paid our referrals PTC program will also paid us. That's why we can make money even we not click an ads. But please notice that, before that we need to find our referrals first. And be patient...

This ilustration below show you how the PTC program paid us:

> You click 10 ads per day = $0.1
> 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2
> Your daily earnings = $2.1
> Your weekly earnings = $14.7
> Your monthly earnings = $63

That's only from one PTC program. How about if we joint with 10 or even more? IMAGINE......

Interested? you may sign up here... It's free to sign up..

1. Bux.to
2. NeoBux
3. BuxOut
4. Arabux
5. Massiveptc

or, you may find another here : PTCTalk....

Let's build our online bussiness from now on and get success together...


Things we needed before running online bussines

Posted by: God Speed...

(copyrigth of Mr. Lutvi Avandi)


There are several things we need to have before running online bussiness, they are:

1). Domain, is your site's name, your URL's address. Such as : www.google.com

2). Hosting, is where your website's files will be put into.

For you who are serious, you can buy domain and hosting. But, for you who are just want to trying, just like me, you can have free domain and hosting. This domain call as subdomain. Subdomain is a like :

  1. kampunguangpanas.blogspot.com

  2. kembarblog.blogspot.com

Mr. Lutvi Avandi suggest me to have free domain from www.blogger.com, and so I do. He said that this free domain is really helpfull to us in order to running online bussiness. So, I think it may can help me in learning proccess to build online bussiness with less risk.

3). When we have registered for Domain and Hosting, then we need to write in our Web/Blog. Write some articles, anything you likes or dislikes, what you have done, what is your goals, your story or you even can write your opinion about everything happen in the world or on the internet. In fact, you can write anything you want. It is strongly recomended that you write in English. Why? hey.. English is international language, beside it is also easy to understand by search enggine like google. You sure want your web/blog will be known by search enggine..even if our English is far from good, it is ok. You see,, I wrote in English although my English is not well enough...I just write it, and I don't care about grammar or spelling...beside, by writing in English, maybe will improve my English...who knows..

4). And the last one is that we need to have Bank Account. Also an online Account, like PayPal, e-gold, or PayAlert. To this account they will pay us for the bussiness we will have.


Well, that's all for now. See you in my next article....I'm planning to write about what bussiness we can do on the internet....soon...


Thank you for viewing and reading my blog..

What Change Me?

Posted by: God Speed...

About couple month ago, I realize that internet is not just an online library where I can look for information I need. Internet also may give me a chance to redifine my faith. We can make money, that's what I mean. Since that day, when I have time to surf internet, I always to make chance to find more information on how to do that by typing "Make Money Online", or something like that, in English and Indonesia, in search enggine. Many links I get from it. Some sites says about online investment, forex trading, internet marketing, viral marketing, some even offer a free website, videos and books.
After spend much time looking and searching, I finally decide to buy one of them, an ebook. From the book, I get many valuable information that I never know before, and maybe I would spent much time and money to know this if I have not buy the book. But still, a book is just a book, it only can guide me to reach my goal, it can not make my money. I need to get it by my self. After reading the book, I can assure you that "No Money Will You Made Without Some Effort In The Beggining, No Matter How Less Is It", you will need some effort, time and also maybe some money, but usually not as much as if we do offline bussiness. Beside that, all we need is a faith that one day it will be paid if we keep figthing and consistent on what we doing...just believe and keep figthing..(that's what I'm doing by now,, hey what do you expected, I'm still new)...
That book have change my purpose on using the internet. Now I am not only looking for information, but also doing my own bussiness...
