How Is Your Future Looking?
Have you ever thought about what is really important in your life? I have been thinking about this a lot lately and thinking about what this means to my internet network marketing business. From talking to people and I do mean a lot of people. People want something that is easy, they want to buy advertising co-ops they want something that will just work with minimal risk.
Maybe your reading this and saying to yourself “ya, that’s what I want too!” I really have been marketing online a long time. Within that time I have bought advertising co-ops for all types of programs online. I know people who have brought in 5000 leads and out of those leads only got 3 sign ups.
The truth is I never met 1 person who has quit their job because they bought advertising co-ops. In theory they sound great, but in reality they cause more harm than good. There isn’t a easy pill that anyone can swallow.
…Let Me Explain, This Is Important
1. You are actually hurting people, when you tell them to buy advertising co-ops
- You prevent the person from actually learning how to get traffic
- Ad co-ops cost more for less results
- There are no guarantee’s that the person you get in a co-op will also buy the co-op (no duplication)
2. You Don’t Make Money Just Because You Get Traffic
- You have to be able to sell yourself to make money online
- The sales come in on the back end after a person get’s to know you
- You need a unique selling proposition (This can be as simple as providing support to your customers)
- People join your business when they feel like they are going to be part of a “team”
I really believe in keeping things simple and yes there really are many different ways to get traffic to your business. If you don’t like to blog that’s cool you don’t have too. We blog though because its a time vs money issue. Some folks have more time and less money and visa versa.
What bothers me though is people who don’t have money and refuse to tap into all the free ways to get quality traffic online. There are some things that really are simple to do like making videos for youtube.
It’s not hard you can get a kick ass web cam for under $100 on amazon and all that you have to do is talk and upload. If your a person who needs to be trained on how to upload videos no problem join my business I’ll show you how.
…Or find someone who offers that type of support.
How To Quit Your Job In The Next 90 Days Or Be Well On Your Way To It
Obviously it takes making enough money to cover the cost of your living expenses to quit your job. I would think for the average person out there that number is somewhere between $3500 and $5000 a month in earned income.
I challenge you to find one person who reaches that point without earning high commissions. I am not talking about some marketer you seen online, I am talking about someone you personally know who is in a low costing program who is making $3400 a month and they are making that money because they started small.
I know people who have made thousands in $10 a month businesses, but they hide the truth from people on how they got there. Trust me it has nothing to do from earning $1 per person or relying on their downlines to create the income for them.
If you are serious about making money online, let’s just cut all the crap out. You need to earn high commissions, you need to sell high quality products and finally you need to work with people who provide real support and training for their people.
I am not talking about “systems” I am talking about training people in skills that actually matter when it comes to actually getting people to pay you money.
Making money online when you break it down is only 3 things
- Getting traffic to lead pages
- Getting leads from those pages
- Converting those leads to paid customers
There are 3 basic ways your gonna do it:
1. Paid advertising (make no mistake if you can’t afford to spend $500 a month on advertising alone, you shouldn’t be paying for it)
2. Free Marketing – Classified ads, video marketing, article marketing, blogging, social network (these can all be free ways to get traffic)
3. Tell people you know ( your warm market) some people don’t like this method, while others are starving and have no problem with it, if your not comfortable with it don’t do it. I rarely ever market to my warm market.
Everyone does it through one of the above mentioned methods. What is important to understand is that it doesn’t really matter how you do it, the one concept you must absolutely wrap around your head is that at the end of the day your success will come to you because YOU did it. Nobody can do it for you.
This is why there is no such thing as get rich easy.. Quick yes, easy never… Every successful person had to face the challenge head on and break down barriers.
The most important thing you have to do if you want to seriously earn a living on the internet
Change your thinking, because it is you and you alone that is preventing you from being successful. It’s huge victory once you come to this conclusion because it is at this point you can actually start taking the steps that are needed to become successful online.
You can choose to work with people who are successful and who want to help you become successful. Or you can choose to buy into the hype of things and get suckered again. I am not talking about getting suckered by joining businesses. Most businesses online are legit, most times it’s not the products or the compensation that is the problem. The problem is working with people who sell you on bullshit hype and then walk away from you when you need the help the most.
Finally to wrap this up…
I can’t do anything to change your thinking, only you can do that. You have to ask yourself is what you are doing right now really working for you? Are you really working your business the way you should be? Are you doing whatever it takes to make it happen?
It doesn’t take 2 years to make money online, you really can quit your day job in 90 days, but that all is based on the action you take in your business and how much money you can potentially make in that business for the effort that you do take.
What I really love about empower network is you can get started $44.95 a month.
$19.95 a month to use the payment processor so you can take orders in over 170 countries and $25 a month for the blogging platform. If you really want to excel your earning potential buy the upsells, they will help you get to the next level. If you don’t that’s okay it will just take you a little longer 🙂
Since you can break even in your very first sale it’s really not that big of deal, because in truth folks, it’s easy to get sales online once you learn the right information. You can tap into a wealth of information when you join my/our empower network team.
Don’t worry if you join my business I don’t keep hammering you to join other stuff, let me help you earn a profit in empower network.. 🙂

Larry,
If you ask me,in the next coming years i want to just make myself at the level from where i see all my family members living a life given by me happily and for that i guess i have started by little bit of work and will continue till i get there.And this can’t be done with a job where i have to listen others to make things work.
Hi Larry,
A great piece of advice. As far as I am concerned, I did not chalk out any such long term plan. As of now, I am taking a day at a time. I feel, we should take up what we love and love what we do. The rest of the things will fall in place for us, eventually.
Regards,
Vijay
Hi Larry!
i think in next two years i want to be a responsible man for my family and my family are to be happy with my work .
A great post!! But if somebody pops this question to me regarding where I see myself two years hence, I seriously lack a definite answer to this question. I am very lazy in planning things out and scheduling how to execute my day. I got some important lessons through this post. I will try to think upon where I see myself two years hence. Thanks for the share.
Hello Larry..!
That’s always a great thing for a person to imagine his future, obviously no one knows about it but there should always be some hope for a better future. As far as i am concerned, after 2 years i would like to have a good job and a personal car. Also want to live with my family and friends.
Thnx, Witaysen

Thanks for that wonderful piece of advice. I agree that our success only depends on us totally and completely. Thinking differently and finding innovative ways to make your visitors interested in your products is the way to get on top in this competitive internet world. One who knows how to entertain and engage with his readers surely has an upper hand in marketing. Getting traffic does mean getting leads. To monetize your website you need to think differently and plan accordingly. Good read.
I think I want to be a rock star man.. hahaha 🙂
But on a serious note, I don’t want to go back and grind my way to work like most people are doing now. I wanna be free 🙂
In the next 2 years I see my business and blog flourishing with traffic, leads, and genuine readers. I know it sounds a lot but thinking innovatively and providing quality stuff is the key to get massive audience. Thanks for the enlightening share.
