Design Elements of Effective Marketing
When you speak of the concept of design as it applies to marketing, there are some general concepts that you need to keep in mind. The first is that the design used in your advertising material is going to have a very large impact on the way that potential customers view your business. It may not seem that a flyer design would have much importance, but when the work is perceived as shoddy that is exactly the impression

Marketing Plans: Better Simple Than Not Followed
For all the marketing professionals, brilliant salespeople, crafty entrepreneurs, and self-proclaimed marketing wizards I've come across, very few of them have shown any prowess in developing, and certainly little in applying a sound marketing communications plan.It isn't easy, but it's really not that hard, either. It takes some insight and serious persistence. But, even more important than that is simplicity.The days of relying on one source of income are over.

No longer do we have the comfort and luxury that our parents did when it comes to income, job security, benefits, and loyalty. Its a totally different marketplace out there now.

My father worked at IBM for 27 years. The "plant" was just down the street from us where I grew up in San Jose, Ca. My father retired from IBM after 27 years of service. He is one of the only people that worked for the same company for so long. He retired with a pension, 401k, full benefits, stock options that he earned all those years. He also owned property so he did pretty well for himself...

My story is a little different. I have not held a job for more than 2 years. I have been an entreprenuer all of my life. I have earned a lot of money, but have never really had that security, loyalty, or benefit plan that my father had.

Things are very different now. With global competition, downsizing, the internet, and the reduction of salaries, we need to be more proactive than our parents ever were.

We have to go beyond just "getting involved" with a MLM or a HBB. We must make it successful. All too many people figure that just because they are "involved" with a business, that they are all taken care of...

What is social security going to be like in 25 years when I am ready to retire? What will the medicare system be like? What will my pension be from a company? I think my benefits from those things will be 0. Plus on top of that, our lifespans are getting longer and longer. We will probably live longer than our parents, with LESS resources? If you just "coast" with your HBB will it provide you with a life time income? Will they provide you health benefits?

I personally built a small Real Estate Office in San Diego. At one point we had sales of over 10,000,000. We had over 20 people that had gone through our training program.

Today... That business has been reduced down considerably. The market changed, and we suffered the consequences.

Thank God that I had developed several online and HBB opportunities. Not only had I just gotten involved, I actually built them to the point that if one of my sources of income failed, I would be able to rely on the others.

We all need to do the same thing. We need to get serious about this "Multiple Streams of Income" concept. We need to "dig in"

I'm tired of the people that jump from one program to the next. I am tired of people that are unwilling to put in the time, effort, energy and money that it will take. I'm tired of the empty promises of many companies.

We need to get serious about competing in a world market. The opportunity has never been better. The internet has effectively leveled the playing field.

What do you think is going to happen with internet marketing, HBB when the rest of the world comes online? Did you know that some 3rd world countries are going to get the internet before they get running water? It's amazing.. but true.

We need to position ourselves online to take advantage of the huge influx of new MLM'ers and network marketers. W

We need to get serious about creating multiple streams of income.
