Ask anybody who has been in business for a long enough and they
will tell you how newspaper advertisements have for decades
helped to build countless small businesses.

The advantages of a newspaper advertisement are many, but what
has attracted small business entrepreneurs for decades is the
speed at which a struggling entrepreneur (short of funds as many
starting small businesses always are, and looking for customers fast)
is able to get a very quick response.

Many extremely successful businesses today started off booking
tiny classified newspaper advertisements, grew into larger
display advertisements (that were still very tiny) and today
are multi million dollar enterprises commanding lots of
respect. If folks were laughing then because of the tiny
advertisements, you can be sure that they are no longer
laughing today.

Many of those who know all this stuff are not aware of an
amazing new development. That there is an equivalent of the
highly effective newspaper advertising online. And what's more
it is FREE.

Prospects are basically the foundation of any business as they are the "potential" customers to the business. So just how do YOU find good MLM prospects?

Let's start out with a definition of the word promote which is the most important word in finding prospects for your MLM business. The word promote means: to make known.

I was recently helping a person in my downline with her MLM business, which was not growing. As I asked various questions I finally found the "nasty bug" that was stopping her network marketing business from moving forward. She didn't want to come off as being or sounding sales-y. This stopped her from promoting.

How does everyone else promote?
A politician promotes how he/she can make a whole community's life better - so he's/she's making herself known to the public by promoting and making known to as many people as possible what he/she can do for them. If you've noticed, politicians promote on TV, radio, signs stuck in the grass or on telephone poles along a busy street or maybe speaking at various group meetings.

Internet usage has sky rocketed since the 90s and peoples work schedule is very busy and time consuming. It's very hard to find time during the day and even at night to sit down and read the paper. Those of us that work in offices during the day generally want to find out the latest news by browsing the web.

Some may say that the dramatic decrease in newspaper circulation is not due to the Internet. They may be right in part but not in whole. With dual incomes and very busy work schedules, people are finding it easier to get the top stories of the day during their breaks at work by browsing the Internet.

In order to increase your papers readership, you need to also be able to put the paper in front of customers while they are at work. When it comes to ranking high on the search engines for a particular topic, content is king. Newspapers have the content but lack what is needed to rank high in order to get readers. Everyday editors write up articles on current events as well as historical. If you were to do a Google search on a term such as ?Iraqi War?, you would think you would have all the search results on the first 2 pages being from major Newspapers. This is not the case at all.

Back in my teaching days we were always looking for ways to make education entertaining on a low budget. However, the idea that follows is not just useful for educators but also anybody who is looking for something to pass a rainy day indoors without having your children glued to the television.

You will need:

As much newspaper as possible
Tape
Some picture books / magazines showing clothing

The first step is to be realistic. Choose a picture of a costume that will present a challenge but is within the abilities of the age range carrying out the project. It may be a supermodel's latest fantastic showpiece from Milan or a historical outfit: a Samurai, a Geisha and a Victorian lady's crinolin were all examples my students produced. The realm of fantasy has countless possibilities: Neptune, Medusa, a werewolf or a harpy are just some suggestions that immediately come to mind. Read the rest of this entry »
