How to Clearly Define Your Target Market For Your Network Marketing Business
How to Clearly Define Your Target Market For Your Network Marketing Business
In building your Network Marketing business, it is critical to know exactly who your target market is. Clearly defining your target market with upfront research should always be your first step in planning for your Network Marketing business.
These are several key questions to ask yourself when doing your research.
Here’s a short list that should get you going:
* What is the demographic of your customers? e.g. income level, gender, education, age, marital status * Do they have a specific location? e.g. country, state, city, county * What do they want? * What are their key problems? * What do they currently buy?
Once you clearly define who your potential customers are, you can begin to set up your marketing strategies around them. But until you do, you should not even consider starting your Network Marketing business (or any kind of business).
People so often come up with their product which, in their eyes, are superior in quality, and then start looking for customers who can benefit from the use of this product. When people take this approach, they are at the risk of investing a lot upfront to come up with the products to sell while not really knowing whether they will sell.
While searching for the customers, they will need to store their inventories so that they can ship the products quickly as soon as they find the customers. This causes them to incur unnecessary expenses for storage and possibly lose their initial investment if they can’t find the customers to buy them.
If you can first spot a group of people who has a specific want, need, or problem they want a solution for, and then come up with the exact things they are looking for, it makes things so much easier with much less risk.
Here are a few examples:
* Starbucks ==> coffee drinkers * Borders ==> book lovers * Eye doctors ==> people with poor vision
Each of the above has a specific group of people who has specific wants, needs and problems they want a solution for. It wouldn’t have been wise for Starbucks to come up with the best tasting coffee without knowing whether there’s enough people who can and will spend $3 bucks for a cup of joe.
Now, when it comes to target markets for your Network Marketing home business, there are several possible categories depending on your approach. Here’s a list of possible target markets:
* People who have purchased a network marketing business opportunity before (or who are already in network marketing, who are currently spending money on pursuing a home based network marketing business), who already recognize their need for a network marketing business.
* People who are presently researching your Network Marketing company and seeking the best sponsor, team and upline on Google, Yahoo, MSN or even offline talking to people. These people have heard of the Network Marketing company, products, marketing system, and/or business opportunity, and are doing their “homework” to validate the information about the company, products, marketing system, and/or business opportunity and the best team to join.
* People interested in finding a way to make money, but who aren’t specifically aware that they need a Network Marketing business (yet). These people are looking in your direction with obvious interests, but are still in the “tire-kicking” stage. Until they actually spend money by starting a home based business, or invest money in learning resources (books, CDs, DVDs, seminars), they are just looking.
* People who already buy or use a related product or service of your Network Marketing company.
* People with a PROBLEM who are looking for a SOLUTION (e.g. PROBLEM = poor health; SOLUTION = high quality dietary supplements)
* People looking on the web for your specific product by name. These people are the hottest product leads.
Once you grasp which target market you want to attract to you, you simply need to start giving away valuable content that they are looking for through various point-of-contacts e.g. social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, etc.
Remember, you don’t want to chase after your target market. You want to always ATTRACT them to YOU. Give to get. Give without want. And you’ll soon be attracting them to YOU and your Network Marketing business.

Cichlid with the best characters
Cichlid with the best characters
cichlid is one of the many tropical fish. There lots of species in cichlid tropical fish such as oscar cichlids, Red devils or midas cichlid and many more. I have somewhere around 100 types of fishes and the best cichlid tropical fish I’ve ever had in my opinion is midas cichlid. It is very intelligent which is very fascinating. Other than that I think Oscar cichlid is great too. I’ve heard that there are people who successfully teach their oscar cichlid to do some cool trick.

Standardization of measuring power output during wheelchair propulsion on a treadmill Pitfalls in a multi-center study.
OBJECTIVE: In a multi-center study the power output of power wheelchairs propulsion, attained by a wheelchair drag test, differed among rehabilitation centers. The purpose of this study was to investigate what causes the differences in drag force among centers. METHODS: A set of standardized drag tests was performed while systematically varying the calibration set of the force transducer, the tester and the medicare power wheelchairs. In addition, the actual calibrated velocity and slope of the treadmill were measured. RESULTS: Difference in drag force among centers was due to variation in wheelchair set-up and differences in the slopes between treadmills. The drag force was not significantly different when different testers performed the test. The belt velocity in almost all centers was lower than the manufacturer specified (assumed) velocity. CONCLUSION: The drag test appeared a robust test as far as the tester is considered. Variation in wheelchairs and differences in the actual slopes of the treadmills affected the imposed drag force. The assumed velocity of the treadmill led to an overestimation of the power output. The power output in the multi-center study should be recalculated using the measured velocities and the wheelchair set-up should be more standardized.

Characterization of power wheelchair use in the home and community
Characterization of power wheelchair use in the home and community
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the use of power wheelchairs and to determine if multiple measures of mobility and occupancy jointly provide a more comprehensive picture of wheelchair usage and daily activity in full-time power wheelchairs users than daily distance alone. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Subjects’ everyday mobility was measured in their homes and communities for 2 weeks, and prompted recall interviews were conducted by phone. PARTICIPANTS: A convenience sample (N=25) of nonambulatory, full-time power wheelchair users. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Wheelchair usage was logged electronically, and geolocation and interview data were used to isolate chair use to (1) in the home, (2) not in the home indoors, or (3) outdoors. Distance wheeled, time spent wheeling, number of bouts, time spent in the wheelchair, and the percentage of time in the wheelchair spent wheeling were measured to describe wheelchair use. RESULTS: The median wheelchair user spent 10.6 hours (range, 5.0-16.6h) in his/her wheelchair daily and wheeled 1.085 km (range, 0.238-10.585 km) over 58 minutes (range, 16-173 min) and 110 bouts (range, 36-282 bouts). Wheelchair use varied across subjects, within subjects from day to day, and between environments. handicap scooters bouts outdoors were longer and faster than those wheeled indoors. In a regression analysis, distance wheeled explained only 33% of the variation in the number of bouts and 75% in the time spent wheeling. CONCLUSIONS: Power wheelchair use varies widely both within and between users. Measuring distance, time, and number of bouts provides a clearer picture of mobility patterns than measuring distance alone, whereas occupancy helps to measure wheelchair function in daily activities

Can an MLM Funded Proposal Help my Business?
Can an MLM Funded Proposal Help my Business?
The last years the new trend in network marketing, especially for those working online, is what is called a funded proposal. The process of generating leads that you can try to convert them to distributors in your MLM opportunity by selling them usually an infoproduct in the front-end. That method can be very useful for those that don’t have the financial resources to advertise directly themselves and their multi-level marketing business for a long period of time.
But let’s see in more detail how exactly it works.
As we said, everything starts with the front-end product that is usually an info-product like an ebook, sometimes it can also be a tangible product, but such cases are rare as it’s not cost-efficient. What you are doing is you are trying to sell this product for a designated price. When someone buys it he becomes a lead and you follow up with him through an autoresponder with a preloaded series of emails trying to convince him to become a member to your network marketing opportunity. The business opportunity that you are trying to sell to him is called the back-end product.
The exciting part of this method is the selling of the front-end product, in essence you get paid to generate your own leads. Of course, you have to subtract the advertising costs in order to find your real profit, if any. If you sell for example a training course for $35 and the customer acquisition cost is $25 you make a profit of $10 for every lead you generate.
That concept is very powerful if you consider that most people that advertise directly their MLM company, they are losing money in the first months, or even years until their downline grows big enough so their commissions can match up their advertising expenses. With a funded proposal you solve the cash-flow problems of your home based business right from the very beginning getting in profit literally from your first sale.
Another advantage is the quality of the leads you generate. First, you know where they come from since you generate them on your very own. Second, they already have spent money for buying your course so they are serious prospects and not freebie seekers. And third, they qualified themselves that they are genuinely interested in network marketing by purchasing your relevant product.
As good as it sounds the funded proposal by now, it gets even better. There are ready made solutions with an information product that you can sell, an autoresponder loaded with pre-written emails in order to convert your customers to distributors in your multilevel marketing opportunity, as well as training on how to market and build your home business.
That way you won’t have to set up the whole system by yourself which requires a lot of knowledge and skills in order to function properly and be efficient in terms of converting traffic to customers and leads to distributors. Someone else has already done the hard work for you.
From what we have seen above an MLM funded proposal is a powerful tool for every network marketer, especially if he doesn’t have the necessary cash to sustain direct advertising of his business opportunity for a long period of time that can usually last for many months before he gets to profits. Whether you set up your own system, or join a ready one, using that method is something that you should consider.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with disparity in wheelchair customizability among people with traumatic spinal cord injury
Demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with disparity in wheelchair customizability among people with traumatic spinal cord injury
OBJECTIVES: To determine if a standard of care for power wheelchairs and handicap scooters provision exists within the participating centers and if there is disparity in wheelchair customizability among the study sample. DESIGN: Convenience sample survey. SETTING: Thirteen Model Spinal Cord Injury Systems that provide comprehensive rehabilitation for people with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and that are part of the national database funded through the US Department of Education. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 412 people with SCI who use wheelchairs over 40 hours a week. INTERVENTION: Survey information was obtained from subjects via telephone and in-person interviews and from the national database. Collected information included age, race, education, level of injury, and wheelchair funding source. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Number and type (manual or power) of wheelchairs. Wheelchair customizability as defined by design features (eg, adjustable axle position, programmable controls). RESULTS: Ninety-seven percent of manual wheelchair users and 54% of power wheelchair users had customizable wheelchairs. No power wheelchair user received a wheelchair without programmable controls. Minorities with low socioeconomic backgrounds (low income, Medicaid/Medicare recipients, less educated) were more likely to have standard manual and standard programmable power wheelchairs. Older subjects were also more likely to have standard programmable power wheelchairs. CONCLUSIONS: The standard of care for manual wheelchair users with SCI is a lightweight and customizable wheelchair. The standard of care for power wheelchairs users has programmable controls. Unfortunately, socioeconomically disadvantaged people were less likely to receive customizable wheelchairs

Business Management and Image
Business Management and Image
Experts on home based business opportunity management report a direct relationship between certain business management practices and income produced. These practices include having a highly serious attitude about the business; maintaining a well-equipped office; using the yellow pages for advertising; using professionals for advice; securing a business bank account; incorporating the business; operating within all local, state and federal laws and regulations; making sure the telephone is answered during business hours; hiring employees; belonging to professional associations, and using delivery services. Other practices that are important to a good business image are being well groomed and appropriately dressed; having an orderly and clean workplace; posting your business hours and following the schedule; having good quality printed materials; maintaining good customer service, and using good manners at all times.
Customer Relations. Good customer relations are essential for any business. Money spent on advertising and promotion could be wasted if the customer is not treated appropriately. Business people and their employees should deal with customers in a manner that neither offends them nor allows them to take advantage of you or your business.
Establish business policies on dealing with customers before you open for business opportunity. Try to anticipate problems, objections, or special situations that may occur and determine how you want to deal with them. Try role playing possible situations that employees of your business may encounter.
Strive to convince customers that you are genuinely interested. Providing a good product or service reinforces this. Work that fails to satisfy you or the customer is a poor advertisement for your business. According to consumer surveys, a person who has had an unpleasant experience with a business will tell on average 9 to 10 other people. Some may tell as many as 20 people or more.
Solving complaints promptly may not only bring customers back, but they will have something positive to talk about. Customers who have had a good experience with a business will tell an average of five other people, some of whom may become new customers.
Business cards. A professionally printed card is an asset to almost any business. Include your name, address, phone number, products or services you provide and an attractive logo if you have one. Cards done on personal computer are appropriate if attractive and look professional.
Letterhead and envelopes. Printed letterhead shows your customers that you are a professional business person. You may want to announce your business by mailing notices to prospective customers. Letterhead stationery may also be necessary when purchasing materials and equipment for your business. Many wholesale outlets will not sell to you without it.
Business phone line. The business phone should have a separate line and be answered promptly during business hours by a person or answering device.
