We’ve reached a point where a lot of us live and work with multiple computers, and often times need to be able access the same files from all of those computers. This leads to endless piles of cd’s, pockets full of flash-drives and an ever growing list of email attachments we send ourselves to get a document from one location to another.
If only there was an easy way to synchronize files between multiple computers automatically…

Sometimes when working online you need to grab an image of something on your screen. It could be anything from a logo, to a screenshot or a short demo video for a team member. The problem is that grabbing that on-screen content isn’t always easy.

So, what’s the solution?

Video marketing is a phenomenal way to spread your message and network.
People love videos, search engines love videos, they are simply one of the best ways to drive traffic on today’s internet – if you know what you’re doing.
Putting your videos up on YouTube is a great start. It’s the most popular of the video sharing platforms and gets a lot of attention.
That doesn’t mean it is the only platform you want to use. There are literally dozens of other sites that you can use to share your content and increase the links and traffic to your site, but who has time to create accounts and submit the same content to dozens of sites at a time, over and over again?
You do….and we’ll explain how.

Communication is key.
Demonstration and collaboration are essential.
Sometimes it’s just easier to show someone what you mean instead of trying to explain it to them. Sometimes it’s more effective for you and the person you’re talking to to be looking at the same things at the same time. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy for someone across the country, or halfway around the world, to look over your shoulder when you want to show them something.
Dimdim can change all of that.

MyLeadSystemPro, or MLSP as it is more commonly known in the industry, is a personal branding and attraction marketing system that any network marketer can use for any network marketing company. It is also an education and training platform.
That’s great, but what does this mean for you?
First of all, it’s important to understand that MLSP was created from the lessons taught in Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring. In order to sponsor more distributors into your primary business, you need to brand yourself (by creating “YOU, Inc.”) and you need to provide value to your prospects.
I think it’s fair to assume that you realize by now the importance and significance of branding yourself in this industry.
However, if your marketing consists of just using company replicated websites to try to get people to join your business or if you’re struggling to sponsor distributors, then you should definitely read the rest of this post!

Many network marketers find themselves needing some basic HTML skills. While it’s true that not every marketer needs to be able to build a website from scratch, things like creating links with anchor text, or displaying images are useful skills.
Learning how to write these, and other basic formatting codes, can help a lot when publishing content online, and one of the best places to learn these skills is at W3Schools.com.
W3schools is easily one of the most reliable and extensive HTML education resources online. With easy to follow lessons, you can quickly learn as much (or as little) about writing code as you want. The lessons are nicely broken up into single steps, so learning to do that one thing you want to know is easy.
When and if you are ready to tackle learning things like CSS, PHP, XML and so much more, W3Schools also provides step by step training on these topics as well!
One of the most essential aspects of network marketing is building your brand. Your brand is your voice. It’s your image. Its what comes into people’s minds when they see or hear your name. Your brand is what your audience will rally behind and follow.
Social media is a key component to branding yourself online. Sites like Twitter and Facebook are where people will discover you, but once they’ve found you, it’s important that they can get to know you. It’s vital that you have more to offer than your status updates.
That’s where having a blog comes in. A professional looking blog sends a clear message to your network of friends and prospects that you know what you are doing, and lets them learn as much as possible about you and what you do. A good blog turns those friends and prospects into customers and fans.
Deciding how to go about setting up your first blog is no easy task. Should you use a free option, like Blogger, or WordPress.com? Or is it worth the investment to set up a self-hosted blog? The answer is yes, it is definitely worth it, and when it comes to self-hosted blogging platforms, WordPress is hands down the best option we’ve found.
What’s The Difference Between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

I spent a few years as a full time bartender at a restaurant and enjoyed the job at the time. I look back now on my time there and reflect on the similarities between being a bartender and now being a network marketer.
When I first started bartending, I never regularly had a full bar of patrons. I waited on people as they came in the door and decided to sit at the bar, because they wanted to sit at the bar and not necessarily because I was bartending.
Over time I developed my skills as a bartender and more importantly, I got to know my guests on a more personal level. I began developing relationships with them. Soon they weren’t necessarily coming to our restaurant because our beer tasted any different than anywhere else, but rather because they wanted to go somewhere where the bartender knew them and could anticipate their needs.
As the years went by, I began to make much more money because of the “regulars” I enjoyed waiting on at my bar. Many of them had their beers waiting on the bar as they walked through the front door and they appreciated that, they saw a value in it.

Recently, we discussed the four primary components of a goal in detail, so now let’s look at the importance they play in our future goal setting. The best way to do this is to build a goal, and investigate the negative effects of not including the various qualifiers we discussed last week. For our example, let’s start with:
“I’m going to visit the Grand Canyon.”
Great! We have an Action, a “what,” something we are going to do. That’s it though, that’s all we have. The reason goals are so useful is that they give people a reason to push themselves towards a particular accomplishment. The problem with a simple goal like this one is that it doesn’t have that “push.” There is nothing in this goal that drives a person towards achieving it.
When qualifiers are left out, they don’t go away, they just take on a state of being implied rather than defined. The goal, with its implied qualifiers actually reads:

Jim Rohn was one of the greatest business philosphers of our time. He was an inspiration to so many and touched thousands of people’s lives and we were very saddened to hear of his passing yesterday.
Chad and I looked up to him as one of our mentors and even though we never had the privilege of meeting him, he has forever influenced our life and will be greatly missed.
Jim Rohn had an amazing ability to simplify the things in life that many of us seem to complicate. Through his teachings, he helps us to understand how we can have everything we want in life.
The following videos are three of our all time favorites and we wanted to share them with you so we can remember and honor his life.
