LocalAdLink Will Revolutionise The Way We Advertise On The Net

The most amazing Opportunity was presented to me a few days ago. I had to share it with you.

I have come across an opportunity that I believe is second to none, and the company is about to launch here in Australia.

Its founder Bob McNulty has a reputation as a leader in the Industry.

He started a company called shopping.com which he sold to Compaq in the late 90s for $US290 Million Dollars, and then they sold it to E-Bay. So the Platform that E-Bay uses today was created by this man.

He created a company called Beyond Commerce http://www.beyondcommerce.com which is a over the counter stock (BYOC), and his goal is to have it listed on the Nasdaq.

This company has 3 divisions:

1 Boomj http://www.boomj.com a social networking site for Baby boomers which has over 400,000 members.

2 i-supply http://www.i-supply.com an ecommerce site with all the brand named suppliers.

3 LocalAdLink http://www.localadlink.com an online advertising division targeting Large and Small businesses.

LocalAdLink launched in the US 10 months ago and has over 50,000 Brand Builders and 35,000 advertisers on board in this short period. Alexa http://www.alexa.com is a company that ranks websites and http://www.localadlink.com is ranked as the 2,880 most popular website in the US, and that is amazing to do that in 10 months.

LocalAdlink is coming to Australia and is currently in Prelaunch and its advertising products will be launched into the market on September the 1st 2009. go to http://www.lalpro.com and watch the Australian or US LocalAdLink Intro & Business Review to get a perspective on what is about to be unleashed. This Division of the company is being referred to as the "Facebook for Business". go to http://www.localadlink.net/pegahorn. This is my LocalAdLink site.

Trevor Williams the Beyond Commerce VP of International Development is currently in Australia doing Corporate Presentations and I was able to meet him and get Bob McNulty's Vision for the company, and where it is headed.

Are You Considering Leaving Your Job And Getting Involved In An Online Business?

If your answer is yes to this question, where do you start?

Well today people are tired of working for other people, and the internet offers them an opportunity to work for themselves, and I think that this is the major reason why there has been such an explosion in internet based businesses.

This is the new economy. The old economy is losing Jobs by the hundreds of thousands, and people can see that there is a future online!

We are entering what is called The Transformation Age, where people are looking at transforming themselves into the people who they want to become.

The keys to business moving forward are being authentic and keeping it real.

Remember bad news travels a lot faster than good news.

People are choosing some type of internet based business to get involved which is perfect for many people because it is convenient to manage and relatively easy and inexpensive to setup.

The biggest mistake is that they join a person who is involved in a company that promises them untold riches, or they promise that the product they have is unique and that there are no competitors.

This is so far from the truth that it is laughable. Most people join a person not a company, so if that person has a disagreement with the company they try to take their people to another opportunity.

Businesses now have to be flexible and allow their members to be involved in more than one company, otherwise their business will be under threat by the up and coming competitors.

You must do some preliminary work, before you decide to set yourself up on the internet.

See My Previous article on "The Five Pillars".

The first thing that you will need is a business plan.

A good business plan enables you to consider important things like identifying products and services, competition, sources of funding, target market, and competitive strategy.

There are plenty of things to consider before joining a business opportunity. Does the company you decide to get involved have the financial backing to continue doing business on the net? Is their website functional, for the user, and the consumer? What are the reputations of the people involved? What marketing and sales tools do they have available to the user? Is the compensation plan offered fair, and has it been changed since the launch of the company?

An internet business can really be a lot of fun, and can be very easy to setup and manage, but some planning needs to be done first. If you get that done right, then all that you need for your job is a laptop and an internet connection, and your office can be literally anywhere.

Just remember, do your research first before you jump in and commit yourself to an opportunity. There will always be another one!

What You Should Consider When Joining That Once In A Lifetime Business Opportunity!!!

Have you ever heard of the 5 pillars of Success?

They're often used to determine if a network marketing company has what it take to help those who join, succeed. It is hard to believe how many people actually believe the 5 pillars have validity. There are people who share that they are in a 5 pillar company as if this is actually criteria that will help them succeed. 5 Pillars first and foremost are 5 common sense Business 101 concepts. Secondly, and probably most important, these 5 pillars were created, discussed and designed to help justify their opportunity as the "one", at whatever time they were promoting.

1st Pillar: Does the company have management with experience and integrity?

I agree but to go further wouldn't any company have to have good management with integrity to succeed. I am willing to bet that if Henry Ford was to start the Ford Motor Company today, there would be people on the Internet accusing him of being a scam. The Ford Motor Company that exists today is the 4th company Henry Ford put together. The first three all went bankrupt. So in today's standards he would be a scammer, crook and no one should ever invest, trust him and there would be all kinds of people complaining on the Internet. So the reality is you have to understand the accuracy of information and the purpose behind it before making a decision. The reality is most people are good and some business ideas fail. Doesn't mean the intention was bad. It was his persistence and determination that developed and changed this country. Sometimes great ideas need time to develop.

2nd Pillar: The Product! Does the company offer a unique product with value?

Every network marketing company says its product is unique. If that was true, and I will just narrow on the nutrition (which includes vitamins, juices, etc.) wouldn't it make sense then people would continue to buy these products even if the opportunity wasn't there. Yet they don't. Just a question? If there was a value in the product, why would people just not buy the product. Yet when you look at these companies from a Distributor to Customer ratio the Distributor ratio is much higher. One last thought on this subject if offering a unique product makes you successful in business, or at least network marketing, then why are the most successful companies in recent times, none of them had a proprietary product. WalMart, Amazon, EBay, iTunes and many more did not have a specific product yet found a way to distribute the products people were already buying and using in a more cost effective manner. So maybe this theory is a little self serving to those companies that think they have a product that will change the world. What's been changing is the distribution method.

3rd Pillar: Timing?

Why is that all the people who get involved at the beginning tell everyone else that is the worst time to get in. Wait for momentum. You can do what I have done in less time and easier. No - historically the people who have made the big money have positioned themselves early to take advantage of the masses coming in during momentum. The story has worked well for those few though.
According to Paul Zane Pilzer, world renowned economist and author of 8 bestselling books: "Of all the entrepreneurial opportunities available today, one of the most important is direct selling, also called 'network marketing'. The direct selling industry...is perfectly positioned to create many of the Next Millionaires." Never before in history has there been a better time for anyone, to become an entrepreneur! A lot of people use this quote. It is so incorrect on so many levels it is not even funny. Direct selling is not also called Network marketing. Actually they are two different distribution methods that have been lumped together so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Network Marketing is NOT an industry. Be clear. If you sell vitamins, juice, nutritional supplements, you ARE in the nutrition / health field utilizing network marketing as the distribution channel. If you sell phones, cellular service, you ARE in the telecommunications industry. If you sell travel services, you ARE in the travel industry. If you sell lower consumer gas, you are in the ENERGY business.

NETWORK MARKETING IS A DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - NOT AN INDUSTRY.

This is the reason so many people do not see the value in the products but the opportunity. They believe the business you are in is network marketing. It is not. So when you understand this you can then move forward.

4th Pillar: Compensation Plan!

Compensation plans vary and often times are not lucrative to the business owner. Many different forms of compensation plan exists. While many will argue theirs is the best, the binary (that has proven to fail more than succeed), the forced matrix (track record not very good) and many others does not matter as much as you may believe. What is important is does the compensation plan reward you fairly for your efforts. Because the truth is most people do not do want is necessary for success. The biggest argument against the typical network marketing compensation plan is you are forced to buy a specific product in order to get paid every month. So there sales are forced sales not value based sales. Many of the people say I would buy X product even if there wasn't an opportunity and yet as soon as they move on or see the opportunity is not what they thought it was, they stop buying the product. A single product focused (and it does not matter whether you have 1 or 15 different products but all the products are industry specific such as nutritional products) your opportunity is very limited in scope. There is not a single product that exists that EVERYONE must have, desire or will utilize. Compensation Plan not matter how good you think it is can never overcome the obstacle of a limited market and limited interest.

5th Pillar: Does it have the systems in place for success?

Does your company offer websites and tools that are clean, concise yet persuasive? Do the websites give the consumer information in a simple yet informative way? Do they offer training, training calls, upline support, access to leads and other tools that are duplicatable and promote success to the downline team members? Most companies today do. So what? Companies want you to believe the video, brochures, and all the samples in the world will replace what this field of distribution really is about. (Personal communication) Unless you are willing to talk to people and engage them in whatever, the tools are just that tools. The tools are designed to help you communicate not replace the communication.

Business is changing. These 5 pillars were designed to help justify the opportunity at the time. They are still used by many.
Here is reality. People do and buy what they buy. They will continue to do that no matter how great you believe your product is. The one thing about consumers that is becoming more evident daily is they are seeking value. We are engaged in the most efficient and effective distribution channel there is - the internet.

It is the distribution of products that is changing in business.
