Herbalife Business: Another story to learn from…

I really don’t like it when someone trying to recruit me into their business. This happen to amateur network marketers who newly join MLM business. They just get too excited and starting to ask others whether want to join them or not, with the selling points; is easy to make money, great marketing plan…etc. Professional network marketers will know there is nothing called Easy money and all the company has great marketing plan and great products.

Here is another email that I received, #2

Hi Ms. Stella,

How’s your herbalife biz going along? I used to be a herbalife distributor too myself but gave it up coz it’s too expensive for me to sustain in the biz. Capital was to much for me la. I find the marketing plan also not suitable for me, but it is definitely a great product. I’d recommend anyone who wants to slim down to take herbalife. I took it during my confinement and the results really show.

Anyway I found another network marketing biz that works for me now as it is much easier to sustain as the capital is so low with a great marketing plan. Thot I’ll share with those who like MLM biz like yourself. You gave me an impression that you always like to try new things, that’s why I’d like to share this with you. This biz was started by Tony Fernandez so you can expect it will be a hit la. When it comes to making money, he is the expert. If you are interested, just drop me an email or call me for more details ok. However, if this is not your cup of tea just email a response to me saying ‘not my cup of tea’ then I shall not write to you in future. Deal? So why not go have a look & check out one of the BEST ways to achieve financial freedom;

Here is my analysis about this lady from this email that I received

1. I do not know this lady, so for me I would call this SPAM email.
2. She knows that I am a Herbalife distributor as my website and contact information is available on the internet
3. Obviously this is a person that do not know how to evaluate the business. Choosing the right business is knowing the trend that will be happening. If we are in front of the trend or with the trend, we can make money. If not, it will be difficult. The biggest trend will be the Wellness Industry, and the book recommended to read if you want to know more is The Wellness Revolution – How to Make a FORTUNE in the NEXT TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY By: Paul Zane Pilzer
4. Take note, she mentioned that Herbalife business is too expensive and hard to sustain in the business. Clearly we can know that she do not have a proper marketing system to run her Herbalife Business. When a person says it is hard to sustain is because they failed to find leads that will be able to convert them into customers. When a business does not have leads, does not have customers, of course there will be no profit making.
5. She also mentioned that capital is too much. There is no such thing as big capital in MLM Business. Again, she has the wrong understanding about MLM Business. MLM or Network Marketing business is meant for people who does not have much money to start up. In Malaysia, the start up cost to become a Herbalife Distributor and to own a Herbalife business is RM98. Is RM98 capital is too much?
6. Marketing plan not suitable for her. This means that she do not have a in depth understanding about Herbalife Marketing plan. If she does, I am sure she will like the marketing plan so much just like how I love it!

For amateur MLM-ers or Network Marketers only offer your MLM Business Opportunity when you clearly knows who you are writing too so that you don’t look bad after sending out the email.

How To Start Herbalife Business:

1. Learn to evaluate a business, by understanding the trend that allows you to earn money for the next coming 20-30 years. If a trend has ended, yes you still can make money, but it will be very tough with a lot of competitors around you. And chances will not be making a fortune.
2. Get a Herbalife Distributor who is experienced enough for you to be interviewed to find out the truth and reality about the business. Most important how you can make money from Herbalife Business Opportunity. Remember, only talk to the right person will lead you to success.
3. To have a different set of mindset. When you have your own business, you are fully responsible for it. Read more, Become Herbalife Distributor - What you need to do?
4. Request to attend any BIG events organized by the Herbalife company. The amount of money you invest in doing your homework will pay you back 10 folds.

Herbalife Business opportunity, of course it can help anyone to make money. But, can the individual make money from Herbalife Business? It all really depends on the individual themselves.

I received and email yesterday from one Herbalife distributor that I don’t know her at all and the email goes like this:

Hi Stella,
I didn’t how to tell to my upline due to i still have around 25 bottles Shapeworks.
I just want to asking how to clear my old stock pls teach me thks

Sad…she cannot request for buy back…

When I asked her about her 25 bottles of Shapeworks when will it be expiring, she replied me that it will be in May 2010. This means that left only 7 months which means, even she resign herself from the company Herbalife, she will not be able to request for the company to buy back the products too. The company will only buy back products that have validity of at least 1 year or more.

The best potential solution is not an option for her anymore…

What else can she do? The best way is to speak and seek for advise from her own upline.

For me, when I recruited somebody into the business, it is my responsibility to make sure that my business partner knows what to do in order to promote the products to the market successfully.

Why a lot of people failed in MLM Business?

Simply is because for anyone that joins a business opportunity from the background of no business experience or knowledge, it is just like you don’t know how to swim. Your upline will tell you, the swimming pool is there. Just do it and you will be able to swim. So, what happen after that, you failed to be able to swim and finally you said that that swimming is not for you and maybe you said, lucky thing you did not get drowned.

My One & Only Advice to everyone who is potentially looking at Herbalife Business Opportunity

Look for the right business partner, who will be your Herbalife Sponsor.

Cost To Join Herbalife: What is the actual cost?

To join Herbalife as a distributor is depending on which country that you are in. This is because for certain countries, the distributorship registration will include the products, whereas like in Malaysia, to join Herbalife is RM98 to get a IBP (International Business Pack) which includes:

If you have any doubts and anything unsure and you do not wish to seek for third party answer, the best person you can speak to is Herbalife staff.

Purchasing of products for your Herbalife business

As for this one, I would suggest you to clearly understand Herbalife marketing plan first, especially on the discounts. After you have work out at which discounts that you want to purchase the products, only then place your order with Herbalife.

By clearly understand the product discounts, which will be the cost price of the products and how much you are retailing and how much you will be making.

Conclusion of the cost to join Herbalife Malaysia

RM98 without products.

You can create a change

I got this from one of my old school mate that she posted in her Facebook Wall. I find it very true.

The 3 Unfortunate Stages Of Life

1. Teen: Have time and energy but no money
2. Young: Have money and energy but no time
3. Old: Have time and money but no energy

This is a very typical kind of life that majority of the people have. Why most people ended up having such unfortunate life? Simply because is the broken education that we have. We all have been educated to go to school, get good grades and get a good job. Why in school, there is no one teaches us how to build a business, how to become an entrepreneur, how to become rich?

Believe it or not, there is a better way not to go through the 3 Unfortunate Stages Of Life

For me, I am creating 3 Fortunate Stages Of Life:

1. Teen: Have time and energy, but no money (Carefree lifestyle, no worries)
2. Young: Have time, energy and money (This is all depending what kind of work that you have, if your work is leveraging other people’s time, you will have the time. If you don’t leverage, sure will not be able to achieve the time freedom)
3. Old: Have time, money and energy (This is all how you take good care of yourself during the life stage 2. If you are having stress, having financial problems, so busy working, it is quite impossible to have the energy. Good diets and nutritional habits should be cultivated during the younger days. That is why you can see some people at the age of 50 still look like 30)

We all have 2 choices in life. And that is the reality.

God is fair. God let us choose which path that we want. But majority of the people chooses Unfortunate Stages of Life but a very small minority people will choose to have the Fortunate  Stages of Life.

Which one is yours? What kind of life stages that you want for yourself?

There is no other people that can describe better than Robert Kiyosaki. He has Rich Dad and Poor Dad. If you have not yet read his book, I suggest you do so.

Check out his fan page for latest updates and inspiration.

My poor dad’s outlook suppressed his dreams and closed his mind to the possibility of financial freedom. My rich dad’s outlook elevated his dreams and opened his mind to life’s possibilities. He achieved great wealth, financial freedom, and enjoyed life to the fullest.

Isn’t it sounded like Poor Dad has Unfortunate Stages of Life and Rich Dad has Fortunate Stages of Life?

PPC is the abbreviation Pay Per Click

The meaning of Pay Per Click (PPC) is regardless of number of impression, once the ad has been click, then the search engine companies will charge you. Let’s say you advertise with Google using Google Adwords.

Based on the bid for the keywords you are targeting, let’s say 60 cents per click. If there is anyone that clicked at your ad, Google will then charge you 60 cents based on the number of times your ad has been clicked.

Where Will Your Pay Per Click Ad Apprearing?

Let’s say in Google. You will notice the word “Sponsored Links”. Those are the advertiser paying to Google.

Pay Per Click (PPC) does not limit to only Google. It also applies to Yahoo and Bing.

To setup your Pay Per Click Marketing campaign, it can be done by creating a Free account in Google, Yahoo or Bing and you can start advertising your business and services within seconds.

Make Money Blogging – Is Real

From my previous blog post about Herbalife Internet Business - What do I need to know about? Blogging is one of the things to be done for your Internet Business. It’s a must and you can’t run away from that. And the good thing is, you are able to make money blogging as an additional source of income.

How To Make Money Blogging?

I have actually received USD200 from Google. Averagely I am getting USD100 per year. Because my priority is building my online real estate, that is my blog with useful information and also for my learning journey and self development, I think it is really not a bad thing because as I do that, I do make money blogging as an additional source of income that is so effortless.

Here’s the screen shot of my earnings since last payment which I cash out USD100 early Jan 2010.

Here’s the screen shot of my earnings for last month, Sept 2010

Make Money Blogging only earning USD100 per year is little. Yes, it is little. That is because my focus is building my Herbalife Internet Business. I use blog as an additional source of income for me. Well, I’m satisfied with this extra cash, because…

1. I would say that USD100 per year is more than the Fixed Deposit interest rate.
2. It is a bonus
3. It is effortless

The best part is when I received the Western Union number from Google Adsense, I will go to any nearby bank to get my money. And usually the bank staff at the counter will look at me one kind. And got once, this guy was asking me “Why Google pays you money?”

There is a lot of people go to Internet, go to Google to search for more information, but they never realized that Google actually let us earn money too. It’s really cool stuffs, yea?

When building my Herbalife Internet Business, not only I am able to get free advertising but actually I am are getting paid for building my Internet Business. What other marketing platform can offer such thing? I guess rare or near to None!

Herbalife Internet Business: It works.

Herbalife Internet Business, I would explain in this way. Utilizing the technology like internet as the platform of marketing and advertising effort to let public knows about your services and business. And Herbalife is a company name or I would call it my vehicle to help me to achieve what I want in life.

Internet business is not for everyone. Why?

• You will need to sit in front of the computer for a long period of time. Well, it don’t really make any difference for people like me, used to work for people as an employee also facing computer whole day during office hours.
• To start a Herbalife Internet business, is a whole lot different thing. On the internet, you need to offer value to the readers out there. If you failed to give values to others first, then Internet business will not work for you.
• Internet Business is for people who has a big heart, that is willing to give without expecting to receive anything in return.
• Internet Business is a place for you to express or to sell yourself using words or online video that is self produced by yourself.
• Internet Business is a place for you to learn to build trust without meeting your prospects face to face.
• Your Internet Business needs to be unique. Do not copy and paste from somewhere else. Readers wants to read something different, your customers also wants you to be different.

Herbalife Internet Business: What do I need to know about?

1. Learn Internet Marketing skills set for your Herbalife Internet Business; like copywriting, blogging, SEO, Attraction Marketing, social media marketing, article marketing, video marketing and Pay Per Click (PPC)
2. Own your own domain; to show your professionalism in your Herbalife business.
3. Learn to setup your own leads generation system. Without leads, you will not be able to have any retail sales. Leads is the lifeblood of Herbalife Internet Business.
4. Setup your own Email Marketing to follow up with your leads.
5. You need a mentor, because this can help you to save up a lot of your time during the learning curve of your Herbalife Internet Business implementation and execution.

Is Herbalife Internet Business for you? I would say that it is suitable for people who:

• likes internet
• likes blogging
• likes to communicate over the internet with people first before meeting up with them face to face.
• likes to read
• wants to have the flexibility to work from home
• willing to learn and explore more about internet marketing skills sets

Search Engine Optimization – Meta Tags Is Important

To get your blog post/website optimized for the search engines, it must have the search engine optimization meta tags. Because meta tags is like the criteria for the search engines to pick up your blog post/website based on the keywords to be displayed to the users who is searching for something using specific keywords.

What Meta Tags Consists Of?

1. Title
2. Description
3. Keywords

What do I usually do to make sure my blog post is friendly to search engines?

I will use an analysis tool to perform meta tags analysis for me. Here is a screen shot how search engine optimization meta tag analysis look like to make sure that my blog post /website is optimized.

Here is a screen shot that a website that does NOT have SEO built in it.

This shows that this website does not have search engine optimization meta tags.

This website that have this kind of analysis results is not friendly to the search engines. Chances it will not be pick up to be displayed at the search results page.

Some people do tells me that Search Engine Optimization cannot be DIY (Do It Yourself) as it is quite technical. The truth SEO is not technical at all. Everyone that is keen in learning able to have a website/blog that is optimized and friendly to the search engines. I strongly recommend small business owner to learn up Internet marketing skill sets especially on search engine optimization to get your business website to be displayed on the search results page so that you can get endless traffics that is working for you 24×7.

When you website is listed on the search page results, it is basically called the FREE Marketing and Advertising that does not require you to pay for the it.

Search Engine Optimization Meta Tags give small business owner to save up a lot on advertising for the expose of their business or services to the public. For me, internet marketing is suitable for small business owner that wants to save up some advertising cost for their business.

P.S: I’m offering free internet marketing training to my own team members who wants to start MLM Business using Internet.

MLM Business Opportunity: Is it meant for you?

MLM Business Opportunity is always out there. Before joining it will be a wise decision to do some homework. Let me explain what is MLM Business Opportunity in my own layman terms.

What is MLM?

MLM = Multi Level Marketing, where by the organization structure that you created and build. And you will get paid based on the group volume that is generated by your own organization, and the group volume might be coming from multi level in your organization.  It could be ranging from 1st – 3rd level or it could be infinity based on the company’s marketing plan.

What is Business Opportunity?

Business Opportunity it means having a unique product or services that is in high demand by end consumers where by you can easily move the products or services to the market and when consumer buys the products or wanting your sevices, that is where you are able to earn the profit.

Business Opportunity for me is to make people’s life better and in return, I will get paid for it.

MLM Business Opportunity Is Not For Everyone

MLM Business fundamental key to success is Attitude, Posture, Mindset and Desire To Success. Why is this important? Because MLM Business Opportunity is an opportunity to shape and grow somebody into a leader. It is the best place for personal growth development.

So, if an individual that wants to be successful but not willing to have a good attitude, positive mindset and does not have strong desire to succeed in life, definitely MLM Business Opportunity will not be an ideal vehicle for them to be successful.

MLM Business Opportunity only work if you have those good things within you. Of course, to have good attitude, to have a positive mindset is a learning journey for a change. Changing for the better.

I can’t think of any other type of opportunity that allows me to change to become a better person and at the same time making money and having the time freedom.

MLM Business Opportunity is for people who wants to grow themselves to become a better person at the same time to enjoy the passive income and time freedom. In MLM Business, the income will only grow as fast as how much you grow yourself.
