Most networkers ask prospects to sign up to their "new" deal. They convince their buyers to get this hottest new product in town. They explain compensation plans, and retail bonuses and company profiles.

And you know what, its boring.

Meanwhile, professional big time, rich networkers, direct sellers and business promoters have one thing in common: They know how to "fund" their marketing campaign. They know how to get paid even if no one joined their biz opportunity.

In other words, the great networkers know what a funded proposal is. Instead of running around town and asking people to join your MLM or business opportunity, a funded proposal places your entire offer inside an information product...

Hmm. Too advanced?

Let me give you an example. In the early 90's, some Herbalife distributors actually STOPPED promoting the Herbalife business opportunity.. Instead, they advertised and retailed an info product called Herbalife Kit. The Herbalife kit contains samples of Herbalife products, information on how to join, compensation plans. Information..information and more information!

That's a funded proposal! A funded proposal is in place when you retail an information product, and inside that info product are details about your business opportunity!!

Another example:

Mike Dillard is one of the richest online marketers nowadays. He uses the funded proposal. He has a semi-MLM program called Magnetic Sponsoring Affiliate Program. However, not ALL people can understand how that program works. He probably realized that the last thing that people will do is sign up to another online MLM.

So here's what Mike Dillard did: He created a book called Magnetic Sponsoring - and instead of promoting his MLM deal, he sold information (book form) to people instead! And inside that info product are details about his business opportunity.

(The guy rakes in and earns more than $50,000 a month. Go and Google him).

The beauty of the funded proposal is that you can earn money even if no one joined your opportunity. When I used this method, my business grew and I never had to advertise my opportunity again. This is how you can make money in this industry. People are constantly seeking new information and when you position yourself as an expert who is providing useful knowledge to prospects, they will usually jump at your offer!

You can go and search the internet about the funded proposal method. I'm sure you'll get lots of interesting insights that will help you grow your MLM business.

Tonight, a fellow Yuwie Yuwie friend told me about it and I decided to immediately check it out. While currently I don't have enough money to give to charities, this does not mean that by simple efforts, I can't help various important social causes. I thought it wouldn't hurt to see what it was all about.

It is a completely free of charge program. This, of course, was music to my ears. By simply signing up for SocialVibe and taking about 10-15 minutes to answer questions like, what is your favorite music, you can become sponsored by your favorite brands. They also give you the option to choose the cause you feel most passionately about. I choose education as my cause and Victoria Secret as my sponsor. Within minutes, by signing up, I had raised $1, 745 for my cause! I was completely stunned!

Because of the incredible results, I thought, I wonder if I can be sponsored by more than one brand? So I investigated this possibility.

I choose Nike. After answering about 5 more minutes of questions, like magic, I had another sponsor! I thought well, why not try another? You never know what you can come up with if you don't try. But, it appears that you can only be sponsored by two brands. I guess there had to be a limit somewhere in their program!

Now, the next step is to embed the html code for your brand's logo on your MySpace or Yuwie  page, or whatever social networking site you choose to.

SocialVibe rewards you for keeping their logo up for a certain amount of days with points that can be used for various items they specify. For me this part wasn't as big of an incentive as knowing that I can be raising important funds, just by promoting my favorite brands. It's a win-win situation for everyone and I'm always up for such opportunities. Just knowing that about 10-20 minutes of my time raised almost 2k for an important cause opened my eyes to the fact that there is so much we can do to better this world that, in the busy rush of our days; there are opportunities that are creative and convenient.

So remember everyone - take care of yourself and each other. Best wishes to all.
