If you are a part of DXN, or any other multi level marketing company for that matter, then you know how important it is to build a downline. You know that without a downline you severely limit the amount of money you can make. The purpose of DXN USA and the multi level marketing industry is to help you build a business that sends you residual income each and every month. But the only way you can do that is if you bring others into the business and show them how to sell the products and build their own personal downline.

So how exactly do you do that? How do you find interested prospects and get them to want to sign up for the DXN USA opportunity? Well its really quite simple. You need to use the power of the internet. You need to set up landing pages and give away information such as a free report in exchange for a name and email address. You see, there is no shortage of people who are ready to get involved in the DXN opportunity. You just have to position yourself in front of them and show them how this opportunity can change their life.

The internet is the land of opportunity. Technology makes it very easy for you to put your whole recruiting process on autopilot. Once you get their name and email address, you can automatically send them trainings and more information about the opportunity that is designed to make them want to take that next step. As you build your downline you can teach them how to use the internet to build their business as well. As you do this, you will be creating a residual income that can last for years. But it all starts with learning how to leverage the internet.

Passports

Passports are necessary documents when it comes to foreign travel. A passport acts as a travel document that allows for a US citizen to enter a foreign country as well as re-enter the United States. In order to get a passport an application must be properly filled out and submitted along with the necessary documentation and passport photos. This process used to be a hassle, but now with private passport agencies the process can be much smoother.

Since you are reading this article I am assuming you are a ArdyssLife distributor looking for a way to take your business to the next level. As we all know, network marketing is responsible for creating many, many millionaires. And I am sure you want to be one of them right? Of course you do. So how do you get to that level? How do you generate a ton of leads and covert those leads into money? The answer is really quite simple.

You do all this by leveraging the power of the internet. You see, the old school way of generating leads is no longer effective. Calling up all your friends and family and inviting them to a meeting won’t get you to that top level that you are trying to reach. You have to learn how to use the internet to generate all the leads you could ever want. Let me share a little fact with you. Research shows that it takes the average person 7 to 10 times before they will feel comfortable enough to purchase a product or invest in an opportunity.

That means you need a way to get your message in front of your leads as much as possible. You need a way to communicate with them and provide them with more information about your business. One of the easiest ways to do this is via email marketing. If you truly want to be a successful ArdyssLife distributor, you will have to learn how to use email marketing to your advantage. You will have to learn how to capture email addresses and then send them information on a weekly basis to keep them interested in what you have to offer.

I know this seems like a lot of work, but if you learn how to leverage the power of the internet, you can put just about everything on autopilot and just sit back and watch the leads come in.

Let me see with a raise of hands if you were told to grow your network marketing home business using the 3 foot rule, hanging flyers, bugging your family and friends from you 100 names list, and holding hotel meetings.

I know that when I first joined my first network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques. I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they would be interested in making some extra money.

I was only faced with questions I wasn’t able to answer, getting hung up on, and faced with nothing but rejection. They told you it was a business of “sharing” and not “selling” yet how come no one is interested?

When I was officially shunned by everyone that I knew, all my upline told me that I didn’t have a strong enough “why” for the business. If my “why” was strong enough then I would be successful. My “why” was strong but my “HOW” was non-existent. That was until I found out “how” to build my business outside of conventional means.

The “HOW” is a marking system. There are many out there. Many claim they can increase your hits and drive massive traffic to your website.

Now, is this traffic you really want? Is this “targeted” traffic you can actually use? People confuse a lead as something that is automatically useful. No, not all leads are considered equal. Driving “targeted” leads with a marketing system that draws your target audience to a site where they can sign up for more information is the goal.

Your marketing system shouldn’t require thousands of dollars to operate. The idea is repeatability. Follow one that is generic enough to use and won’t interfere with your current home business. Automated sales and information capturing should only be part of the marketing system. The total system should help a distributor attract, capture, and provide service.

Before we dive into how to become successful in Network Marketing, we should be on the same page to know what Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is.

Wikipedia Definition for Network Marketing (MLM)

“Marketing strategy that compensates promoters of direct selling companies not only for product sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of others they introduced to the company. The products and company are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing.”

From the definition given above, the distributors that make the most are the distributors that have the largest team selling the most products. Most distributors want large teams that sell a good amount of product every single month. The team built up will grow IF they are taught correctly. Successful home businesses are built on repeatability.

Some distributors can use old methods of offline marketing and grow a huge team. This might have been you. The likelihood that a distributor will be that successful in today’s market is low and I’ll explain why.

Most people who enter into the business do so for the wrong reasons and then are followed up with poor training. To prevent a new Network Marketing distributor from failing, the sponsor must understand “why” the potential distributor wants to join the business. At this point the distributor is more than a name, but a real person to network with. Having a good understanding of “why” someone wants to join will help the sponsor understand “how” to train them. Network Marketing business is built on relationships and one can’t hope to build a strong organization without actually growing a relationship between people.

Once the determination is set, training must be followed up. Now how does one build a duplicatable business? Training must be easy to follow and MUST have brought results in the past. Old marketing techniques for the most part are NOT easily duplicatable as most do NOT have a large circle of influence. Hence the main reason so many never sponsor more than 3 associates in their career.

Explosive growth in the any home business comes down to shear numbers. Having more people in front of you who want to listen to you guarantees success. How does one do this part time or if a distributor lives in the woods somewhere? You bring your business online and use the powerful tools available today.

A proven marketing system that allows you to market YOURSELF 24 hours a day 7 days a week in front of people who want to LEARN from you.

You know this to be true. Physically driving people to your website does NOT efficiently make use of your time. If what you’re doing all day is driving people to your company website, how much are you paying to do so? You are either paying in time or money. How much is the traffic costing you to convert them into leads and hopefully distributors or customers? How many people do you think can follow in your footsteps? The return on investment, be it time or money, is very low when driving traffic only to your replicated company website.

This is exactly why my system is in place. The sole purpose of the system is to promote and explode your Network Marketing business. I am here to engineer your success and position YOU as the industry expert.

So what do you really want from an auto-responder?

Wiki Definition:

An auto-responder is a computer program that automatically answers e-mail sent to it. They can be very simple or quite complex.The main purpose of using an auto-responder is to keep in contact with your List. Your list consists of people who trust and follow you and respect you as a leader.

As they say “The money is in the List”.

So it is vital that your auto-responder can do a couple of things very well.

1. Gets the e-mails to your List (spam filters are an issue and might prevent some messages to getting to their destination)
   
2. Manage the List (being able to filter who is on your list and the health of the List)
   
3. Easy of Use
   
4. Cost as List grows
   
5. Tracking
   
6. Affiliate program

The foundation to any successful network marketing business is always linked to a properly working auto-responder.

Comparison between AWeber vs iContact

1. Cost – $20/month (0-500 subscribers) vs $10/month (0-250 subscribers), $14 (500 subscribers)
   
2. Popularity Alexa – 256 vs 3,197
   
3. Ease of Use – Both are similar as both allow both HTML and TXT messages but converting a HTML to a TXT in iContact sometimes requires additional editing as words get merged. Very annoying. Also AWeber shows you the standard width so you can sentence wrap lines for smaller screens which most people have.
   
4. Tracking – iContacts method of tracking breaks it down per message sent and you can see the sent, opens, bounces, spams. AWeber also does that but take a bit longer to adjust to. AWeber seems to have more information and seems to focus more on a larger audience as each subscriber has more unique information tied to them. In iContact, you specify how many days after a subscriber joins to send the message. AWeber has how many days AFTER the message before. This makes total sense. If you have 100 auto-responder emails then you don’t want to have to edit each iContact email and have to adjust how many dates from entry to send the email. The drag and drop order and how many days the next email should be released after the previous one is AWeber is much easier to handle.
   
5. Affiliate – 20% personal and 10% from 2nd level vs 25% on all sales. AWeber raising commissions from 20% to 30%, take effect today, April 8th, 2009.
   
6. Spam – AWeber. Their system seems much easier to pin point what is making your message a “spammy” message. iContact also has this feature but doesn’t seem as integrated into the who editing process of a message. I find I can take a look and see which of my e-mails is more “spammy”. This is important and AWeber stresses that by making sure we understand if one of my messages is on the border of being marked.
   
7. Global Fields – Very similar in function but AWeber makes it a bit easier to actually use the fields.
   
8. Signature -YOU MUST KNOW THIS FOR AWeber. The Text e-mail will automatically attach your signature data you specify in your list options. The HTML WILL NOT. You must manually put “{!signature} ” after your message. I thought that was odd that it wasn’t automatically placed like in the Text version.

Sending a TXT and HTML message will help reduce your Spam score so make use of it when you can.

Use an auto-responder like iContact or AWeber that sends from YOUR e-mail and not not generated e-mail. Isoresponder sends out e-mail that is from a generated e-mail which makes it harder for users to lock in the senders single e-mail.

Pricing

iContact has a $1 trial. AWeber basically gives you a month to try the system out and if you don’t like it they refund your money.

AWeber states: “If you are not satisfied with the results you see, contact us for a full, hassle-free refund.”

AWeber policy on subscriber count.

“There are two types of leads (subscribers) that counts towards your pricing. 1. Active Leads which are leads subscribed to your list receiving messages. 2. Inactive leads which are leads that are unsubscribed. Although they are not receiving messages from you, their records still remain on your account but you can delete them whenever you want. Unconfirmed leads do not count towards pricing. These are subscribers that were sent the confirmation message but never clicked the link. They are automatically deleted from the system after 30 days since the confirmation link has an active period of 30 days you would not be charged for them.”

So which one? In terms of which to chose, it really depends on your personal needs.

Both are great programs and if your list is small the only difference would be price until you go over 250 subscribers. If your goal is 250 subscribers then your thinking too small. Personally, I was fed up with iContacts HTML email copy to TEXT and having to correct the mistakes of that conversion.

My customizable marketing system that generates Leads even on auto pilot uses AWeber and that is more than enough reason for me to use it too.

Summary:

The truth behind Financial Destination Inc. (FDI) and determining if this business model is capable of becoming a legitimate business opportunity. Understanding What Financial Destination Inc. is all about before venturing into the market or even those stuck at building their own business in hopes to re-evaluate the business if more time and effort is worth being placed into FDI. Does the training and support available allow ANY home business owner succeed and more importantly does it answer the most important question: Does the training cover Internet Marketing Techniques of today like blogging, SEO, PPC, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter?

Debt and Income:

If you are looking for an opportunity to maximize your free time and increase your income, Financial Destination Inc. could be the business for you. FDI provides solutions to everyday problems millions face like offers educational products related to real estate investing, cash flow management, stock market investing, tax and accounting services and debt elimination and many others.

With the way the economy is, securing what you currently have should be a top priority.

The products have helped thousands of families and their products are in tune to what people need most, money.

Now, saving and protecting is only one part of creating wealth. The other part is to generate income and

FDI also provides this by allowing individuals grow their own business from home. Many representatives have earned a nice living just by helping people with their most pressing money concerns.

But there are issues to building a home based business. Financial Destination Inc. also falls victim to incorrectly training the representatives in HOW to build their business online. Most if not ALL Financial Destination Inc. representatives that make the high incomes in the business is made from offline techniques. That in itself shows the plan works.

But what about those with a small sphere of influence or those not wanting to chase down leads and hold house parties for complete strangers?

Online marketing training for FDI has and always will be lacking. Main reason is because of the number of representatives. The company needs protection from their own sales force and the Internet is a double-edged sword. Allowing thousands of reps to just go out and market could bring lawsuits if some were to market illegally like promised income claims or spamming. Financial Destination Inc. does what most network marketing companies do when they want to protect themselves from their own sales force. Restrict the representatives to offline only training.

The select few who actually understand that the market is infinitely larger online will market their own Financial Destination Inc. business where the largest audience is… on the Internet.

Millions of people want to get out of their money issues and millions more want to make more money. Financial Destination Inc. is their ticket but the representatives are NOT properly trained to reach the hungry audience… Until now.

So what exactly is FDi and what exactly is the missing ingredient to building a profitable business from the comfort of your home?

Before we venture in that crucial question lets go ahead and get the basics to this unique company.

FDI stands for Financial Destination Inc and is a privately held corporation founded in June 2003 by William Andreoli. Headquarters are located in Windham, New Hampshire which is only 30 miles from Boston, Massachusetts.

Services:

Financial Concierge Services Include:

LifeLock,TeleDoc, Discount Pharmacy, EquityTrax, CreditTrax, MoneyTrax, First Class Retirement, First Class Family Legal, Dental, Vision, First Class Travel,

Personal Concierge Service:

Anything from Dinner Reservations to helping your child with homework now Everyone can have a Personal Assistant. First and only VIP personal and financial concierge company and it’s free with membership!

So with so many features and benefits, what about the feature and benefits for building a business…. Online?

Like so many other successful network marketing companies, Financial Destination Inc fails to properly educate the representatives on HOW to properly promote your own business online. Delivering a company replicated website is NOT an Internet Marketing plan.

A solid Internet marketing plan should consist at a bare minimum of educating the home business owner on HOW to properly build their own business online using techniques like blogging, PPC, Facebook/MySpace, twitter, and many others. Of course to No fault of FDI to NOT teach this because when there are so many reps running around there is bound to be a lawsuit waiting to happen when those new to the business over promise or start breaking rules they are unaware of.

So to protect their business from essentially from new reps or those with low moral values, FDI has no choice but to NOT teach these types of marketing techniques.

This is where FDI reps savvy enough to understand the power of the internet step in. Those with the foresight to educate themselves on correctly promoting their home business online will have an audience that is essentially thousands to millions more than their own personal social circle of influence.

There is a correct way to building a FDI business without chasing leads or prospects.

Detox

If an addict does decide to go into treatment for their addiction the first step is the detoxification process. This is when the body goes through a withdrawal period from the abused substance. Substance abuse can lead to a chemical dependency, meaning the body cannot function without the chemical. Detoxing off of a substance can have serious medical complications and can be very uncomfortable. This is why many rehabs offer detox services allowing an individual to detox safely and comfortably with the supervision of medical professionals.

Side Effects

Going through a medical detox is a vital step in a person’s recovery. Without it, it is very unlikely that a person will be able to stay off drugs for good. The detox process depends on how long the individual has been addicted and to what substance. Sometimes withdrawal only lasts three days, other instances the symptoms of withdrawal can last for months or even years afterwards. Most often a week is standard for detox; the symptoms vary, but often include, shaking, sweating, chills, vomiting, nausea, migraines, depression, and suicidal ideation.

Rehabilitation

Once a former addict goes through detox they are then ready for the rehabilitation process. Rehabilitation gives former substance abusers the insight, knowledge, and skills, to live a life substance free. They will be able to dive into the reasons why they may have developed an addiction in the first place and will also gain the necessary tools for combating relapses and the craving for drugs or alcohol in t he future. In a rehab setting, individual counseling as well as group counseling are vital aspects of treatment.

Aftercare

After a person goes through a drug detox, it is a good idea that they then enter an aftercare program. Aftercare will provide a person with counseling and activities to help them remain sober. Without proper aftercare, it is highly likely that an individual will relapse. In fact, the best way to be successful in getting rid of a drug addiction is to live in a residential rehabilitation facility for a while.

A drug addiction and alcohol addiction are dangerous conditions. They have series consequences on not only the mental status of an individual but also their physical health and their relationships with those who love them. For this reason treatment is necessary. A drug detox rehab is one of the ways in which an addict can kick their addiction and get their life back on track.

So the big ticket question is if Financial Destination Inc (FDi) is a viable tool for everyday people. Are there products the people would use even if the company were not in the network marketing business? Is the business setup to have any home business owner succeed?

Financial Destination Inc is NOT a SCAM

FDI offers services such as family legal services, TELEDOC medical services, certified CPA’s, LIFELOCK identity theft services, Credit Restoration, and so much more.

So if the products have helped thousands of people so far the only other concern might be if the business side is a scam. I guess that really is determined by what you consider a scam?

Is a company considered a scam if they don’t pay their associates? – There have been no issues with paying out to all of the hard working FDi representatives.

Is a company considered a scam if the products don’t work? – Depends on what you consider “functional”. Many customers have been helped by FDi services which would have had to pay more through other means. To say the service is best in class is up to independent reviewers. If results speak for themselves then we can honestly say Financial Destination Inc as a service provider is NOT a scam.

So is the business plan with FDi a scam? In a way yes.

I’m not talking about payouts or income structures. The company pays and is NOT an issue. The issue rests in the fact that Financial Destination Inc relies on old network marketing techniques like 100 names lists, cold calling, and the 3 foot rule. This isn’t the fault of the company so much that they just don’t know better. FDi will continue to get more reps and more customers will be served but where does that leave the home business owner that has 10 people they know total?

To correctly build FDi, there needs to be a constant flow of new leads and prospects. If the circle of influence is small then representatives need to get outside of their comfort zone and approach more “strangers”. This really only works with salesmen type personalities and we all know that is a small percentage of who work the business.

So where do home business owners turn to get their business out? The Internet.

The Internet is vastly larger than anyone’s own social sphere of influence. The scam then lies in the fact that most home business owners will fail to make any significant money in this business mainly due to poor Internet marketing training.

FDi is not going to today or in the near future teach reps HOW to properly build their business online using tools like blogging, twitter, Facebook, MySpace, PPC, and many others. They are afraid of reps incorrectly representing FDi and doing more damage than good.

So it is up to the responsible hard working home business FDI owner to step up and learn the online techniques and tools by themselves.

Proper Internet marketing training will allow a constant flow of leads and prospects which then positions the FDi home business owner to attract business versus chasing them down.
