Why WorldVentures? This is the question that many ask me when they inquire about what network marketing company I am with.

There are many reasons that I chose a network marketing company in the travel industry and many more key points that caught my attention with WorldVentures.

A good friend came to me and asked me to take a look at her travel MLM company. I immediately told her I had tried network marketing before and didnt want anything to do with it. After avoiding her for a bit, her persistence paid off. I trusted her but the idea of vacationing more with my family and friends peeked my attention more and I finally took a look at WorldVentures.

What I saw in the presentation immediately got me excited. The products just made sense! The questions I asked myself were, would I rather pay wholesale or retail for my vacations? and do I book travel online or know anyone else that does? Both of those questions were no-brainers. So, basically it boiled down to having access to hundreds of wholesale vacations, getting paid when people booked travel on my travel booking site and building a residual income just by helping others do the same. OK, Im in!! But, wait, whats the catch? The kicker was, once I found out how well the company was doing and how fast it was growing, I realized there was none.

There are many factors in my decision to join forces with WorldVentures and I will highlight the main ones that stuck out to me.

1 ~ Product Travel and Vacations. I dont have to convince anyone to go on vacation or want to save money. Most people want to vacation more and save money doing it but they dont know how! Also, we naturally talk about our vacations, so its easy to share because we already do it anyway. The product stands alone even without network marketing and that was critical in my decision!

2 ~ Industry Travel is the largest industry in the world and is expected to double over the next 10 years because of the Baby-Boomers retiring. What do you think they want to do in their golden years?

3 ~Timing – WorldVentures is about 5 years young and still in pre-momentum. Meaning, they are past the point where most MLM companies fail in the first 2 years of business. Also, about 11 countries just opened and huge market share is available. Know anyone in USA, UK, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Singapore, Israel, Cyprus, Sweden, Germany, Malta or The Netherlands? If you do, these regions are wide open!

4 ~Leadership – Co-founders, Wayne Nugent and Mike Azcue have a proven track record of success! Plus, the addition of Dan Stammen, network marketing legend, as the chief marketing officer solidified it for me. Dan built a sales team which created over 660,000 customers for a New York Stock Exchange listed legal services firm. He has brought his marketing expertise to WorldVentures and built an online system for reps to build their business.

5 ~Training Awesome training system run by Marc Accetta. Marc helped take another MLM go to #1 on the INC 500 list and has brought the same training system to WorldVentures. I thought it was going to be a RAH-RAH session but instead it was nuts and bolts to help build the business.

6 ~ Compensation Plan – A binary system consisting of only 2 teams. This means that you could end up with someone on your team that someone else puts underneath you! When I saw how this worked I was blow away because it is so powerful and helps build the team as a whole!

7 ~ No Monthly Fees All I had to do was sell 4 products and my products and business were free. What?? No monthly overhead?? I know, thats how I felt! Most people will quit MLM because they are spending more than they are making. Help 4 people save money on a vacation and your fees are waived!!

8 ~ Industry Reputation They are the youngest company highlighted in Success from Home 2xs in 3 years and Your Business at Home in the first year. Not too bad for a company only about 5 years old. They received awards from Carnival Cruise Lines and Funjet Vacations and recently I heard that SEARS is now using the travel booking technology to book travel for their corporate website (Hmmmmchoosing WVs booking engine over the other big travel .coms.. kind of shows how well it performs if SEARS would opt to go with it)

So, all in all, the above highlights are the main reasons I chose to join WorldVentures. Not to mention the the integrity behind the company as a whole and always giving back. Whether its raising money for Big Brothers Big Sisters, creating a mission trip or helping change a childs life though their new Manifest Foundation, they seem to always have the right purpose in mind!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the people are cool and fun! WorldVentures is a company that offers vacations, FUN and the possibility to earn money helping the people you care about do the same! Works for me!!

There is no doubt that affiliate marketing represents a massive opportunity to earn substantial money from the comfort of your own home and the only tools you need are your PC and broadband connection, however newbie affiliate marketers often achieve very little success if any to justify their efforts.

Although this is a business model that anyone can follow it is vital to understand the two key ingredients of affiliate marketing success; targeted traffic and pre-selling the product.

Targeted traffic is self explanatory but what do I mean by ‘pre-selling the product’?

Pre-selling the product simply means that instead of sending your traffic directly to the product’s sales page (what most unsuccessful affiliates do) your traffic is directed to a review page that provides an insiders view of the product.

Here are my seven simple steps to exploiting the affiliate marketing opportunity;

1 Choose the product you are going to promote. I focus on high value products in my niche preferably with a monthly recurring billing feature to earn monthly commissions. High profile products work best.

2 Buy the domain name “productnamereview.com” (replacing “product name” with the name of the product you are promoting)

3 create a free WordPress blog on the domain.

4 Review the product (ask the owner for a review copy) and post your review to your blog.

5 Create a video tour of the product (use a screen-shot video tool such as jing.com) and post the video to your blog.

6 Distribute the video to as many video sharing sites as possible (hey!spread will automate this for a small fee).

7 Digg your posts and video (digg.com)

It is important to post new material to the blog every couple of days for the first week.

These simple steps should result in your review site appearing on the first page of search results for your keywords (the product name).

High profile products (especially big product launches) attract a lot of search engine traffic from prospects who want to check the product out before buying, these people will find your review site, read your review and click your affiliate link to buy!

Because these seven simple steps to exploiting the affiliate marketing opportunity cost just a few dollars you can promote any number of products this way and once the initial set up work is done it pretty much runs itself!

Hard work was once the building block of every fortune, whether it was a successful online business or a remarkable internet business. While hard work certainly plays a part in any form of business success, its role in success for internet marketers and entrepreneurs is often overstated by people looking to make the barrier to success higher than it needs to be. There are really two schools of thought on this one; one believing that hard work and hard work alone is the key to success, and the other believing that a combination of determination and hard work, mixed with a massive amount of optimisation and smart work is the key to building a successful business, income, and lifestyle.

So, which side is right? There’s a large debate around this issue, with those who’ve made their fortune already keen to report the extremes of either side. We’ve all seen the gurus professing that you can make your million dollars in ten minutes, and we’ve also seen the hardened entrepreneurs and marketers that claim it takes years and years of hard work to get to that level. Both sides are packed with their fair share of scam artists and dishonest people, but the messages are real in both cases. Many businesses are built slowly over the years, and many snowball to success and large profits very quickly.

By far, the most common and important factor amongst successful online businesspeople and marketers is their ability to work smart, instead of just working hard. The smartest and most successful people all share the ability to hugely optimise their work periods, and selectively eliminate (or outsource) the irrelevant and unimportant work and information that often gets thrown towards busy people. In order to get to that level of success, a huge level of smart work is required, rather than just aimless hard work. The real problem comes down to definition. By definition, hard work doesn’t necessarily need to have a result tied to it. Smart work is the direct opposite. Smart work absolutely requires that you have a goal in mind when you begin it, and it actively requires you to remind yourself of that goal as you go on.

So, in terms of motivation, success, and optimisation, smart work wins out every time. With many simple tasks able to be outsourced or automated, it’s entirely possible to create a lucrative and highly profitable online marketing business without the need for any boring, uninteresting grunt work. With the massive possibilities available online for internet affiliate marketers, it’s very possible to focus entirely on the big picture and see incredibly lucrative returns. Don’t feel discouraged when you have a big pile of work in front of you, instead be selective in how you approach it. 10 minutes spend researching and understanding your workload can save you 10 hours in actually completing it, and make you free to focus on the most important aspects of your marketing. Don’t fall for the old maxim — hard work falls short of smart work every single time.

Create a members only access section on your website. Instead of charging for the exclusive service you can offer it as an added bonus to further encourage the customer to buy your products. Provide two variations of your e-zine so customers can choose if they want ads included with their e-zines or not.

Because some people hate ads included with e-zines and this will give them the option they’re looking for. Dedicate a section of your website for free classified ads. Then you could exchange banner ads with other affiliate websites in your product niche and continue to build financially rewarding partnerships.

Publish your e-zine only on your website. Provide it free of charge as long as your prospects can subscribe to receive it. This will grow your email list, and it will keep you in regular contact with your customers which in turn will come back to you in more ways than one. When you sell a product package you could also sell advertising space.

You could sell banners, inserts, flyers, booklets, post cards, brochures, pamphlets, viral e-books, and online ads for digital products. Offer daily or weekly cash give-aways or coupons for returning customers or as a way to bribe someone to subscribe to your newsletter, increase traffic, and create a buzz about your online business.
