         <description><![CDATA[<div class="bbcode">Rick Simon, How can I Beat The Learning Curve in Internet Marketing?<br /><br />Those who succeed in the world of internet marketing know exactly what they are doing.<br /><br />To earn a living on the internet, you must be earning income from: - Making a name for your self by becoming an expert in your area - Creating and marketing your own product/service. - Promoting or reffering another popular and in-demand product - Advertising your already successful offline business online. - Ad space on your website for banners, pay per click ads or advertisers<br /><br />Now, there are many variables to consider - keyword research, creating a niche website, writing effective ad copy, marketing strategies, driving traffic, advertising your site, building mailing list, using autoresponders, business automation methods, maintaining customer relationships, working well with other internet marketers, and marketing yourself, just to name a few.<br /><br />..Thats a lot of information to learn!<br /><br />Mind you, you're going to need to be familiar with the very basics of most these skills, or at the very least have game plan in mind, prior to event developing your business!<br /><br />Needless to say, I was immediately overwhelmed with all the work I would need to put into this business. What can I do? How can I beat this learning curve?<br /><br />Fate must have on my side, as I almost 'accidentally' stumbled accross an opportunity to be a member of Asian Brain Internet Marketing Center, where I met Anne Ahira, one of Internet Marketing experts from Indonesia who were willing to help me.<br /><br />Over the course the next few months, I worked intensively with my mentors, Anne Ahira, to fine tune each of the essential skills mentioned above.<br /><br />And if you are to succeed in your own Internet Marketing Business, you are going to need these skill, too.<br /><br />But with so many information products out there on each of the topics, it would cost you thousand of dollars to go through all of them. And even then, you will discover that not all of them are valuable for you!<br /><br />Wouldn't be nice if someone could take the jist of the BEST CONTENT from each of the information products, and combine them into easy step-by-step marketing strategies, easy to follow courses so that you have time to learn, consume and implement the information?</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div class="bbcode">Rick Simon, A Review Of The Multi-Level Marketing International Association<br /><br /> Find out the truth about the Multi-Level Marketing International Association and see if it is right for you at this time. Please read our unbiased review of the Multi-Level Marketing International Association.<br /><br />The Multi-Level Marketing International Association is a not for profit organization designed to promote the advancement of the network marketing industry. The Multi-Level Marketing International Association has been in existence and professionally managed since 1985 and was founded by individuals who were highly successful in the network marketing industry. This means they know what it takes to get started, stay in business and be successful.<br /><br />MLMIA or Multi-Level Marketing International Association focuses on the protection, support and the promotion of individual opportunities within the entrepreneurial aspects of multi-level marketing or MLM, Network marketing and direct sales. It is designed to insure that members of the Multi level Marketing International Association are represented by people who are skilled, as well as well connected to the industry.<br /><br />There are three levels on membership to the Multi-Level Marketing International Association. These levels are the corporate membership level, which is designed for those companies who are in Direct Sales, Multi-level marketing or network marketing. Support membership is for those companies who are selling products and services to those companies and individuals within direct sales, multi-level marketing or network marketing industries. Finally, there is the distributor membership, which is designed to provide for those people who are independent contractors and affiliates or distributors to the companies who are providing direct sales, multi level marketing or network marketing opportunities.<br /><br />The MLMIA website is easy to navigate. There is a top and side menu that allows for easy access to each area of the website. The side menu lists information about the company itself, its founders, mission statements, board members and other basic information.<br /><br />The top menu offers the information on the association as it benefits, members, how to join even a listing of events and a job bank. It really is a full service association that provides excellent professionally backed resources to individuals and companies in these industries. Joining is easy.<br /><br />The application for membership for distributors is a simple short page. Half of which is the information for dues payment. It also lists that you are entitled to a single vote within the association when meetings occur. It also lists the pledge that members of the association make when joining. This is in regards to how a business in this industry should operate.<br /><br />The corporate application is a bit more complex having a dues schedule based on the number of distributors and allowing two representatives which may vote or hold office within the association. The support membership application is just as easy as the other two applications and has equal rights for representatives though the fee schedule is based on the amount of yearly business done within the industry.<br /><br />The benefit of being a member of the association is the fact that there are certain standards that have to be maintained in order to maintain membership within the association. This means that customers can be assured that there is a high standard to which the business is being held. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://rick-simon.studioathome.com/"
