If you are a network marketer you need to get into the 21st Century and start a blog. You can fight against the fast moving technology, but the reality is if you do not have a website, you will be fighting a losing battle against the web momentum.

If you want to stand any sort of a chance of winning as a network marketer you must start a blog. But not just any blog. It must be a proper blog that is presentable, easy to navigate, and one that provides heaps of value. To start with, you must be using a wordpress blog and have host it on your own hosting space. This is easy with the plethora of affordable hosting such as Hostgator.

Next, you will need to register your own domain name. Using a domain name that has your name is best because in network marketing, you need to market YOURSELF and not your network marketing company. i.e. if you name was John Smith then JohnSmith dot com is a good choice.

You dont need a website that talks like an Amway encyclopedia because Wikipedia or their MAIN Amway website has it covered. You dont need to create another info site about it but you should create a blog that sells you as a marketer. That is the first and most important tip for any network marketing blogger.

You must also be prepared to post 3 articles a week. Of course, you do not need to post long essays like the ones you do in primary or grade school. People who go online want information fast and instant, just like instant noodles. Short posts are good and when you spread out your long stories into short posts, it creates the habit that keeps your readers or blog subscribers coming back for more and more.

When selecting a good blog theme, you must remember to have a theme that allows easy scrolling and navigation. A good tip is to select a blog theme that lines the sidebar on the right of the theme. One very good reason why it is advisable is because Google tends to scan the blogs content from left to right.

Blog posts are all indexed separately. Collectively, each of your blog posts can get traffic cumulatively exceeding the main home page. But if your side bar is on your left, Google will wind up reading the SAME content (the sidebar) over and over again since it scans from left to right. And duplicate content is bad news.

In closing, if you are not a good writer, then you always have the option of outsourcing your blog updates to a ghostwriter or ghost blogger or you can resort to using pictures, videos, podcasts or other types of media to convey your message. Do not be in a state of paralysis by analysis. Just get into action and get started.

Do you ever find yourself not knowing what to do? Don’t follow the herd mentality. Instead ask yourself this simple question – What is the herd doing right now? Then do the exact opposite. These are things you may consider to prepare your Financial Future in a failing economy:-

In A Failing Economy Here Are Some Things You shouldn’t Do

Bail out. Right now everyone is running around dumping stocks or equity mutual funds now. This is silly as the values are especially low and it is simply guaranteeing that you’ll turn paper losses into real ones. Even if there’s more downside to come, staying on course often pays off during times of economic uncertainty. You’ll only realise a loss if you sell. What happens after a recession? A Boom. What happens after the sun sets in the west? It rises in the east.

Stop saving. Those regular contributions you’ve been making to your savings or retirement accounts are an important part of good financial discipline, and there’s no reason to stop them now. The strategy of dollar-cost averaging your investments–making periodic contributions to your accounts, regardless of where the market is heading is still good advice.

Speculate. Lower prices for investments create opportunities, however betting on the market will get you into trouble. Particularly with the wild swings we are witnessing right now. Smaller, investments are generally better than large, hasty ones which are intended to make a quick killing. So be especially wary of tips you get via e-mail, the Internet, or elsewhere for certain stocks, commodities, and other it will never fail opportunities.

Take on new debt. Sometimes it is necessary to take on new debt to make repairs on your home or put your child through college. Be aware that economic downturns most often affect job stability and investment income which makes it particularly difficult to determine the level of debt you can handle. If you must borrow, make sure you have examined all the avenues and risks. Especially when you plan on using the equity in your house.

Stop living. It is true these times demand you take precautions, however you do not need to over-react. Life goes on. You will still buy gifts when you take your family on vacation during the holidays. Don’t over react and put off doing the much needed maintenance on your home or car or worse cancel insurance policies. Doing this could have a negative impact down the track. Instead review your spending carefully and make cutbacks where necessary.

You need to think outside the box and do something completely different to create a more stable financial future. Taking on extra work is not where I am going here. Think Plan B. Don’t be scared, instead I want you to think strongly about starting or ramping up your Plan B. It is very important that you re-plan how and where you earn your dollars.
