Hello,
My name is Mark Phelps. I'm from Madera, California, and I've been involved in my home business for 1 years in http://marksteam.ownanewbusiness.com/.

Originally, I became involved in my home business because I loved the idea of flexibilityI was excited by the comfort of working from homeI wanted to supplement my primary incomeI wanted to supplant my primary incomeI had a desire to be my own bossI was interested in entrepreneurshipI have a knack for networkingI loved the product.
After getting established in my business, some things went well.

On the other hand, it was not exactly the dream I had hoped for. Despite the things I liked about it, I still experienced some frustrations because I have not had enough trainingMy Sponsor recruited me and then left me hangingI didn't know enough peopleI couldn't keep my recruits excitedMy recruits kept quittingI didn't know enough peopleI was not good on the phoneI didn't have enough leads.

In spite of my difficulties, I still tried my best to achieve the success that I was originally sold on. I worked hard to follow that promise of success that my sponsor told me about. I tried many of the traditional tactics employed in this industry, with less than ideal results. I contacted old high school friends who I had not seen or talked to in years and told them I wanted to "re-connect" over lunchI spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leadsI made 100 cold calls a day to my "Hot Opportunity Seeker Leads"I tried a different Company, then another, then anotherI passed out FlyersI went to weekly Hype-filled "Rah!-Rah!" Opportunity Meetings or conference calls. I did everything I had been taught to do, and worked my hardest at it, but the end result was less than I expected.

I decided I needed to try a different approach. I was frustrated with the results of my previous effortsMy upline was not very helpfulI was doing fine, but wanted to do betterI was desperate for a way to grow my businessI was tired of selling an arm and a leg to get leadsI wanted to work hard with a new, fresh approach. After researching several different options, I decided to join the Spider Web Marketing System. I thought it was a good idea to become a part of the Spider Web Marketing System because I was excited to be able to generate my own endless stream real-time Home Based Business Targeted leadsI was excited to be able to generate 12+ streams of passive residual incomeI was sick of all the hype filled e-books and training coursesI was excited to get the the Revolutionary Lead Generation SystemI wanted to gain access to the 22+ step-by-step tutorial videosI was excited to have real, interested leadsI was excited to never hunt leads againI wanted to develop my downl!
inesI wanted to escape my uplines.

Since joining, things have gone quite well and I am pleased with the results so far. I'm confident that the Spider Web Marketing System will help me achieve the success that I've always dreamed of because I am excited to gain solid leadsIt is a brilliant business model that makes perfect sense.

I believe that success comes to those who are willing to work for it. I believe in working hard, and I believe in working smart. Since joining The Spider Web Marketing System, I have become more effective and more efficient in my business.

Leads and The Spider Web Marketing Lead Machine

In any business, the money has to come from somewhere. Whether it's from sales revenue or service charges or other transactions, the bitter business truth is that every dime in your pocket used to be in someone else's. It's not a bad thing. Just because you have money that used to be in someone else's possession doesn't mean that the former owner is now busting out the food stamps. Through however many transactions between however many parties, you received money, and they received either goods or services. And that's how an economy works.

On a less Macro scale, in the world of network and multi-level marketing this principle remains especially true and obvious. At the very core of your business, you make money through the sale of goods or services to someone. You yourself may never sell a thing and be living in a huge mansion, but odds are you're benefiting from the sale of something to someone. This system of making sales work for you is part of the appeal of MLM. Downlines. You benefit from the work of others. The more people you have in your downlines, the more profit you are making. Downlines make sales. You make money. End of story. But what's the name of the game?

Leads. The hottest commodity of MLM. If you've got 'em, you've got it. If not, you're going to be working really, really hard to pay for that huge mansion on door-to-door sales and Tupperware parties. If you can get downlines, you can get money. In order to have downlines, you need leads. In short, leads equal money.

And that's the MLM secret, which you already know, of course. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can't make a fortune by yourself in this business. But just because you know that you need leads doesn't mean you can find them. And that's where so many MLM ventures fail. It is a commonly reported statistic that well over 90% of those involved in MLM never make a profit. But you can bet that a healthy supply of leads will keep in you in the successful ten percent.

There's a couple different ways to go about it. You can do what most MLMers do (and fail): make a list of your friends and family (sound familiar?), pass out 'business op' fliers, spend lots of money and have social functions, beg, plead, scream, pass out, wake up, continue. Eventually, the strenuous effort takes its toll on your health and you leave the industry to do something a little more docile and less stressful on your health, like substitute teaching in an alternative high school.

Personally, I I contacted old high school friends who I had not seen or talked to in years and told them I wanted to "re-connect" over lunchI spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leadsI made 100 cold calls a day to my "Hot Opportunity Seeker Leads"I tried a different Company, then another, then anotherI passed out FlyersI went to weekly Hype-filled "Rah!-Rah!" Opportunity Meetings or conference calls, with limited success.

There is a better way. A way to channel leads to your business who come looking for it. The Spider Web Marketing System is a system designed to do one thing: generate leads. And it does so with the greatest effectiveness and efficiency in the industry. It's based on what is called the funded proposal system, a system that utilizes highly developed Internet marketing strategies to bring interested, real leads. The best part of funded proposal, and the great appeal of The Spider Web Marketing System, is that it perpetuates itself, so that it keeps itself going and continues to generate income for you, while continually sending quality leads your way.

There are other ways to get leads. You can put down some serious cash for "lead lists" who will give you pages and pages of innocent people who have been called a hundred times, and you can work off of that. But with Spider Web Marketing, these are leads that come to you. They are "fresh leads," meaning that they have not been called before or come from any list. These are people, who using the Internet, seek out a business opportunity and come straight to you.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System has been great for me because I am excited to gain solid leadsIt is a brilliant business model that makes perfect sense. Its helped me get more leads, grow my business, and make more money, and helped me on my goal to Gain financial freedomGain time freedomSpend my time with my familySpend time with my grandkidsObtain economic independenceEnjoy my time and my life my wayBe a leader in my businessShare my knowledge with othersShare my success with othersWork less hoursQuit my J.O.B. and be FREERetire earlyBuy my Dream CarGo on my Dream VacationBuy a second home.

Basically, The Spider Web Marketing System is a lead generating machine. And in a business where leads are the name of the game, that's a piece of equipment you can't afford to be without.

Hey, Mark Phelpswith another exciting post about The SpiderWeb Marketing System! Right now, I want to tell you a little bit about an amazing tool that is put into your hands: The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office is an extremely useful and powerful part of the most effective program in the industry. As you establish yourself within The SpiderWeb Marketing System, you will become very familiar with the Back Office. It is a tool that we've created to help you be successful in this program, and a majority of your efforts in the system will be done through it.

If your experience has been anything like mine, you may have struggled a bit. I have not had enough trainingMy Sponsor recruited me and then left me hangingI didn't know enough peopleI couldn't keep my recruits excitedMy recruits kept quittingI didn't know enough peopleI was not good on the phoneI didn't have enough leads. Perhaps, like me, you engaged in some of the classic, yet often futile techniques of MLM. I contacted old high school friends who I had not seen or talked to in years and told them I wanted to "re-connect" over lunchI spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leadsI made 100 cold calls a day to my "Hot Opportunity Seeker Leads"I tried a different Company, then another, then anotherI passed out FlyersI went to weekly Hype-filled "Rah!-Rah!" Opportunity Meetings or conference calls. And I just didn't find the success I desired. But The SpiderWeb Marketing System overcomes those problems, in great measure by the Back Office.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office gives you something. It gives you a home base in the program. It makes the SpiderWeb System real to you: something you can see, use, and rely on. In so many other systems, you sign up, pay your fee, and end up floating out in MLM space trying to figure it all out, with nothing to ground you to the system. With the Back Office, you are actually in The SpiderWeb Marketing System. Its easy to get with the program when you are part of the program.

Its sole reason for existing is to make success easier for you. In the Back Office, you have access to The SpiderWeb Marketing System Video Series. Everything you need to know about how to operate effectively within The SpiderWeb Marketing System is available to you through The SpiderWeb Marketing System Video Series, which will walk you through every step to set up and maximize your system and bring the money in.

Another extremely useful tool is the Prospect Manager. This is the best way to keep track of everything that is happening within your program. You can find out the status of all prospects, where they came from, and what have been your most successful strategies for generating leads.

Among other features, you will also find a list of your referral links, website visitor tracker, task manager, and calendar, to mention a few. One of my favorite features is the SpiderZone forum, which I will discuss another time.

You won't find a system or Back Office that is this comprehensive in any program. As I have mentioned, we are committed to providing the very best marketing System in the industry, and that philosophy permeates through everything we do, including the Back Office. It is a powerful key that will help you open the door to the success you deserve.

You can quickly get your own Back Office, by signing up for the free system now. Check it out at http://www.TheSpiderWebSystem.com/markphelps.

Hey There, Mark Phelps from Madera, California again! Thanks for visiting my blog! Today I want to share with you a compelling story from Kimball Roundy, founder and inventor of The SpiderWeb Marketing System. It pretty much describes a lot of his struggles, and how he overcame them and established this awesome system. Personally, I can totally identify with the things he went through, which is part of the reason I feel so confident with his system. Here it goes, in his words.

The Depressed but Blessed Monday

I will never forget the day I first stumbled across the concepts that started me down the path of research and development of the Spider Web Marketing System. It was early on a long depressing Monday morning that my life was changed forever. This Monday was depressing not only because I found myself back at my dead-end job yet again, but far worse because I had spent the previous three weeks preparing for the recruiting-event-to-end-all-recruiting-events. It was to be the most successful "meeting" that anyone had ever seen.

The Master Plan

I was certain that after this huge "opportunity" BBQ, everyone in my company was going to be coming to me to figure out what I had done to recruit so many people. I had my small downline buzzing with excitement about how we were all going to be able to kick back and watch the cash roll in after this event. Previous small casual BBQ's at my home had been somewhat effective and encouraging, so I was sure that this large gathering was going to be just that much more effective.

I spent well over $1,000 getting ready for the BBQ. I purchased enough hamburgers and hot dogs to feed a small army, as well as volleyball equipment, horseshoes, and badminton sets. I rented the largest park in town, a grill the size of my truck and everything else I could think of to make this an enjoyable and successful "meeting".

Then, with a bit of help from some of my top guys, I passed out between ten and fifteen thousand flyers. We talked to everyone we knew and everyone we met as we were preparing for the event. I literally only slept an hour or two each night for the entire week leading up to the BBQ.

Finally, the day arrived. There was a buzz of excitement running through my whole organization. Unfortunately, it would soon be smothered, along with the hearts of everyone who had worked so hard to help put this event together. So, out of the 20,000 people who had heard about the BBQ or got a flyer, the grand total that showed up was...76. Not quite the 5,000 I was hoping for or even the 500 I was willing to settle for--76.

To add salt to an already painful wound, out of those 76 I was able to pitch my opportunity to, there was a total signup of -24.

"How is that possible?" you ask.

Well, I had worked and overworked my entire team and placed way too much emphasis on how well things were going to work out and how easy it was going to be once we were done recruiting the masses that were inevitably going to show up. So, in the face of this massive failure, I lost any and all confidence that my team had in me as a leader. Within a few days, despite my best effort to retain them, I had lost them all.

So there I found myself -- broke, broken, depressed, forced to go back to a job which I had hoped never to return to and searching for any reason I could find to keep myself from giving up on my MLM dream.

Then I found it - the key, the concept, and the strategy with which to make it a reality (which had been hidden right under my nose for five years) that unlocked my mind from the chains that this industry had placed on me. This is the concept that would open my eyes to a new way of looking at this business and a way of seeing things that I had never before been shown.

That is his great story. I'll explain more about the secret that he mentions. Actually, the secret is in the huge system that I write about, and every entry explains more of this complex and comprehensive system.

I totally know what he went through, because I went through it too. When I first joined MLM, I struggled because I have not had enough trainingMy Sponsor recruited me and then left me hangingI didn't know enough peopleI couldn't keep my recruits excitedMy recruits kept quittingI didn't know enough peopleI was not good on the phoneI didn't have enough leads. It was tough, but I did my best to be successful. I contacted old high school friends who I had not seen or talked to in years and told them I wanted to "re-connect" over lunchI spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leadsI made 100 cold calls a day to my "Hot Opportunity Seeker Leads"I tried a different Company, then another, then anotherI passed out FlyersI went to weekly Hype-filled "Rah!-Rah!" Opportunity Meetings or conference calls.
Eventually I realized that I needed more help because I was frustrated with the results of my previous effortsMy upline was not very helpfulI was doing fine, but wanted to do betterI was desperate for a way to grow my businessI was tired of selling an arm and a leg to get leadsI wanted to work hard with a new, fresh approach.

However, using The SpiderWeb Marketing System, I have maximized my business potential and brought real leads, business, and money to me.

Now it will do all the hard work for you... Guaranteed!

Find out more at http://www.TheSpiderWebSystem.com/markphelps.

I'm excited for this blog entry, and I hope you are too. In the last entry, I talked about five characteristics I've seen in my experience that have led people to real success in the network marketing industry. In my opinion, you cannot be successful without them. With them, however, you are in a strong position to achieve your aspirations in this industry.

I want to explain to you how The SpiderWeb Marketing System holds to these characteristics and will help you develop them yourself.

1. They used their own products or services and could explain why you should use them.

This is an easy one. Its easy to sell a product when you use it yourself. A personal guarantee based on experience is a powerful tool. As you use The SpiderWeb Marketing System, you'll see the success, and as you tell others about it, they'll see your success and want to be a part of it as well.

2. They had a reason for doing the business and a business plan.

There are more reasons to do business other than just to make money, right now. While SpiderWeb will make money for you right now, it can also be viewed as an investment, with immediate, and long-term returns. The business network that you build with people with similar goals in mind will benefit you for many years.

3. They let the tools do the selling.

Let us do the work. This system has been created to sell itself for you. The tools are in place to advertise, market, and sell this system, all with no extra effort on your part. Some things really are simple.

4. They were always learning more about the business.

I think this holds true in all aspects of life. Those who stay on top of things, always ready to adapt to the different challenges and changes that come their way, are the ones who make it. At SpiderWeb Marketing, we are daily seeking ways to improve. In fact, we never stop getting better. We've got the best product on the market, and we'll always strive to make it even better.

5. They stayed in the game long enough to have a chance to succeed.

Patience is a virtue in any business. Think of the exponential growth model, which is shaped like a J. It starts out slow, when patience is required, then all of a sudden, boom! Exponential growth. That's how a network operates. From personal experience, I can tell you that the longer you are involved, the broader and more expansive your network will become, until soon you have cash coming in from the farthest reaches of the universe.

I%u2019m convinced that there are keys to success in life. Five of those keys are listed above. For some, they come naturally. For others, they have to be developed. Either way, they work. They just need a vehicle to turn attributes into assets. The SpiderWeb Marketing System is the way to develop those critical attributes and find the success that you work so hard for.

Perhaps you joined MLM for some of the same reasons that I did. I loved the idea of flexibilityI was excited by the comfort of working from homeI wanted to supplement my primary incomeI wanted to supplant my primary incomeI had a desire to be my own bossI was interested in entrepreneurshipI have a knack for networkingI loved the product. Perhaps you tried to do some of the same things that I did. I contacted old high school friends who I had not seen or talked to in years and told them I wanted to "re-connect" over lunchI spent THOUSANDS of dollars on leadsI made 100 cold calls a day to my "Hot Opportunity Seeker Leads"I tried a different Company, then another, then anotherI passed out FlyersI went to weekly Hype-filled "Rah!-Rah!" Opportunity Meetings or conference calls. Either way, however, the point is that I know that through The SpiderWeb Marketing System I can accomplish my goal to Gain financial freedomGain time freedomSpend my time with my familySpend time with !

Hey Mark Phelps here again. I've been in the network marketing industry for 1 years, and I have seen a lot. I've tried different business systems and approaches, and been met with different levels of success. But most importantly, throughout my life's career journey, I've had the chance to meet and be taught by some amazing people. People who know this industry. Good, honest people, who have worked hard to get to the top. People who have made money. A lot of money. Millions. And millions.

I learned a great deal from these leaders, not just from the things that they taught me, but from my own observations of them. I noticed that all of them had similar characteristics that helped them achieve the kind of success that so many of us dream about.

1. They used their own products or services and could explain
why you should use them. (They were a product of the product.)

2. They had a reason for doing the business and a business plan.

3. They let the tools do the selling.

4. They were always learning more about the business.

5. They stayed in the game long enough to have a chance to
succeed.

By holding strong to these principles, these people made millions. Sound like you have those qualities? I'll tell you something: you don't have to be born with them. Some of them are developed by smart business practices and patience, and anyone of us can develop those characteristics. And those of us who do are well on their way to achieving their dreams. My goal in business in life is to Gain financial freedomGain time freedomSpend my time with my familySpend time with my grandkidsObtain economic independenceEnjoy my time and my life my wayBe a leader in my businessShare my knowledge with othersShare my success with othersWork less hoursQuit my J.O.B. and be FREERetire earlyBuy my Dream CarGo on my Dream VacationBuy a second home. I know that I can achieve that through The SpiderWeb Marketing System because I am excited to gain solid leadsIt is a brilliant business model that makes perfect sense.

In my next blog entry, I'll tell you about how The SpiderWeb Marketing System will help you achieve each of those integral characteristics. It will be good. It will be real. And it will help you understand how you can make money in The SpiderWeb Marketing System.

Today, I want to cover some information about funded sources. Funded sources are items you sell that have value to people. The income you obtain from these sources are used primarily for funding your advertising. Sound strange, well it did to me at first. I thought I got into business to make some extra cash to fund the things I want and need in my life not to spend it on advertising. Well, when I looked at it further it started to make sense. My funded sources are not the income from my primary business which is where I am generating long term residual income. So you need to find something of value that is easy to market, what people need, and is inexpensive. I found a great source Global Domains Inc. For $10 the customer gets a domain name of their choice, website creation device, and 10 email accounts. The neat thing the company is multi-level marketing, you earn residual income for the life of the accounts you sell. It is a great way to find prospects for your primary business and they are qualifying themselves by buying into GDI. You then use the income generated to advertise your primary business.

Achieving success in network marketing takes more than just having faith and belief in your company, your system or even your ultimate goal.

There is a missing component many distributors overlook or simply dismiss as unnecessary to the growth of their business. In fact, it's just about the single most important ingredient to becoming successful in the network marketing business... The investment you make in YOU.

Having a short term goal is a great start. Combining this with a long term goal is even better. Generating targeted leads; people who really want to hear what your offer is all about, completes another part of the network marketing puzzle. But the one piece many simply don't put enough time into is investing in themselves.

What Do We Mean By Investing In Yourself?

Simple, without a daily dose of self improvement and motivational exercise, climbing your way to the top of the achievement mountain is nearly impossible. Did you know you can just about cheat your way to success?

That's right; hang out with those who have that millionaire or even billionaire mindset. The best way to do this is by simply reading and listening to motivational material.

There is an old theory that if you hang out long enough with successful people then your mindset begins to change. You begin to think and act like them and before long, what you once considered a satisfactory level of accomplishment, pales into insignificance to what you're really capable of producing.

That's the power of listening to motivational material on a daily basis! It literally changes your perceptions about your real worth and helps remove self-limiting boundaries often put in place by yourself.

Whether it's someone well known on the success circuit like a Jack Canfield or Jim Rohn or whether it's somebody who is successful within your own company or in your up line.

It's amazing. Many consider even 15 to 20 minutes of motivational stuff as simply brainwashing. When you're building a network marketing business, the truth is, it's simply gold.

Failure in the Multi-Level Marketing business is horrendous. Many quit within the first 2-3 months. Failure is common in this business however, it's part and parcel of achieving ultimate success. Motivational stuff will keep you on track and put the failures into perspective.

Developing the same mindset as the millionaires is as easy as inviting them into your home on a daily basis. Eventually, it will begin to rub off and that's a key element in building your network marketing business.

The biggest obstacle facing network marketers during the crucial first three months of their business is cashflow.

Many are lured into the opportunity with the promise of fabulous wealth but when they join, they suddenly realize building a successful business is a long term project. Hence the 90 day survival deadline which sees up to 90% waving goodbye to their sponsors and company.

It takes money to run a network marketing company. There are start up and ongoing maintenance costs such as autoship payments and during the first three months, a distributor can find themselves several thousand dollars in the red.

So how can you alleviate a good part of this initial cost? Ann Sieg has created a system called "The Renegade Network Marketer." Essentially, she shows network marketers how to create cashflow on the front end while you are settling into your business. She pulls no punches either as she debunks tired old network marketing myths which many sponsors are still pushing onto their new recruits today.

Myths such as the 3 foot rule meaning hassling family and friends about joining your business, everyone's a prospect, you don't have enough belief in the system or that this business is not sales but simply a product sharing program.

I kept a very open mind when I first started reading the book simply because despite the fact I knew deep down we've been lied to on many things about the network marketing business, I always get defensive when someone starts running the industry down. Go figure.

"The Renegade Network Marketer" is fluff free. Ann gets straight to the point and I will admit, I was so absorbed with what she was saying I completely forgot the best part was still to come; how to make money in network marketing without sponsoring anyone into the business. Ann saves the best part for last and outlines a clear bluprint for people to follow.

Old time MLM'ers may get offended with "The Renegade Network Marketer:" that's too bad but if you really want to understand why prospecting and recruitment methods could actually be hurting your business and how to make money regardless of whether you sponsor anyone, "The Renegade Network Marketer" will teach you strategies which aren't taught at those opportunity meetings.

I found something that a lot of network marketers could use its called the Success Blueprint and it really works.  You can obtain free targeted leads for your biZ!!! You can also check it out for free and listen into a call. All you have to do is register for the call.  Some of my people are making $200 on the first day they started using it Cool every business needs profit even in traditional businesses can use it.  Mark Phelps map46@comcast.net  or call me at 559-645-6454

Many people look for the shortcut to success in building their network marketing business. Is there a shortcut to success? The simple answer is no.

So what are the main ingredients to building a successful network marketing business? The obvious answer to this is developing a long term strategy. It's developing a long term mindset to achieve ultimate success littered with several short term victories along the way.

If you are entering the MLM business and have been lured in by the promise of fabulous wealth that's fine. But if you have been promised instant riches which will have you sipping cocktails on a beach within a few short months then run a mile!

Building a successful network marketing business is a marathon. It's about laying a solid foundation which will sustain any failures you encounter along the road to your ultimate target. It's reaching your long term goal by achieving short term goals along the way.

Focus And Discipline Are Key

You've probably heard these two words in the same sentence all too often...focus and discipline. How many of you have actually taken the time to apply them to your long term plan?

One without the other is okay but when you combine both and stick steadfastly to your two, three or five year plan, then you've hit pay dirt.

Applying a strong focus as to why you're running a network marketing business means you have established the reasons you want financial security. Your business is simply a means of transport from where you are today to where you want to be in the future.

Discipline is the motivator. It's there when your interest starts to roll off the tracks. It may be you've gone through a series of failures such as several rejections from people you considered hot prospects. Understandably, this would affect your overall enthusiasm and invite thoughts of doubt into your mind.

This is when discipline must be put into play. Go over the reasons why you are building your network marketing business; the same reasons which were strong enough to motivate you to take action in the first place. It may have been because of the lack of money in your life or it could have been for reasons of fear such as not having enough capital to sustain you during your retirement years.

This is when getting advice from those with a millionaire mindset comes into play. We're talking about listening to motivational material or speaking with successful members in your upline.

Above all though, keep your eye on the ball through focus and make sure you never let your discipline taper off. It's the life jacket in your network marketing business which will keep you afloat when the focus becomes blurred.   http://website.ws/markphelps
