I'm not prying into your personal life Cheap Jerseys Wholesale , so no need to worry. it's just that lately I've noticed something about most network marketers which got me thinking.
Let me start with some background on these thoughts I had. One of the reasons an internet business seems so attractive is because of the ease with which you can communicate. This lends itself well to marketing, and in particular network marketing.
With me so far?
So we all jump into network marketing and mlm style business opportunities online to seek our fortunes, but this is where it all seems to go wrong.
The thing I've noticed myself and a lot of others doing online is just promoting our businesses.
We don't build relationships.
Network marketing is about networking with others, and I have heard it referred to as relationship marketing. But are we doing enough to build those relationships?
A recent example was a new style messaging system I was introduced to at . There you can invite "buddies" to message you, and add other buddies from the system to your buddies list. Then you can send them all a message safely from within the system. An Ideal opportunity to build a relationship or two.
Instead of getting to know each other Cheap Jerseys , almost everybody jumped in and sent each other an advert for their business.
The result?
No one reads any messages.
No new relationships are formed.
It becomes another wasted opportunity to form relationships. There were one or two more savvy marketers who attempted to build relationships, but their efforts got lost in among the hundreds of "make more money than you can spend" ads.
In our personal lives we create many relationships, but for some reason once we start an online business, we forget to speak to people and instead send ads through the machine. We stop building relationships with people.
This has got me thinking, and I am going to try to break some habits Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping , and start marketing myself, instead of the opportunities I am involved in.
I'm going to start building relationships.
It won't be easy, almost every other article, or ebook seems to be about how to promote your website, or your business Wholesale Jerseys From China , but rarely how to promote relationships. But it is possible, and we have all the tools to start building relationships.
For starters, we all have email addresses whhich could be used to start a conversation with someone. We have instant messengers, Yahoo, MSN and AOL to name a few Wholesale Jerseys China , you can even use the software from Imvite which has a payment plan built in and can access most of the other networks anyway. And then there's Skype for voice chat which is as clear as a telephone, and free to download.
So we have the tools to form relationships, lets start doing it.
It can only be good for business to get to know each other and form friendships, partnerships, and trust. In the offline world you wouldn't dream of greeting a new potential customer by saying "Earn Millions Today" so lets stop doing it online.

It was once possible to rank well with search engines simply by using meta tags that were stuffed with repeated keywords or the keywords of competitors, however this practice of stuffing and ranking manipulation soon backfired as it was regarded as spamming and unethical black hat SEO. The result is that today Cheap NFL Football Jerseys , meta tags are all but ignored by the major search engines, most of whom no longer boost the ratings of a website on the basis of its information.
So how is ranking determined? When it comes to ranking, the web page title is rated as the most important component, so place your best keywords here. Regular and well written copy about your business or industry containing relevant keywords is also important. After looking at the title and content of a web page, meta descriptions and keywords will rank next Cheap Football Jerseys , so it's worthwhile taking the time to reinforce your meta tags. It's also important to remember that some search engines, including Yahoo and MSN still use this information as part of the determining factors for ranking a site and, although the amount of importance may be slight, every little bit helps when it comes to SEO.
How can a well written meta tag help your rankings? Firstly it may increase traffic to your site. One of the valuable features is the ability to give a website owner control, to a degree Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys , over how a web page is described by the search engines. By reinforcing the meta description, it may be possible to influence the decision of a searcher to actually click through to your listing rather than others on the same page. Think how often you have searched for something and clicked on a result based on the linked text of the description. Secondly, each page of your website should have different keywords and descriptions that reflect the content on those pages. This can help when trying to optimize different sections of your site. That exact page may then be displayed in the results directing a visitor to that specific section rather than just the home page.
