How to "Brand" Yourself

So you're probably thinking, how do I "Brand" myself. Well some of the best ways to brand yourself are to write articles. There are several article sites out there where you can get your articles published. I use ezines.com and several others. Do a Google search on how to get your articles published. You can see one of mine on EzineArticles.com Click Here.

You can also brand yourself by making lenses on Squidoo.com You can take a look at one of mine by visiting
network culture from there you can click on "make a lens" and it will walk you through the process. Make sure you put your picture, your bio and make a lens about something you know about and share your knowledge.

Furthermore, one of the best ways to brand yourself are to write a blog just like I'm doing here today with you. Just go to blogger.com and start yourself a blog. It's easy it's fun and it helps let others know who you are and what you do. Remember, people join people. Don't ever try and shove your business down someone's throat. You wouldn't want someone to do that to you so always keep it real, talk about your opp if you wish but don't try and convince anyone. Brand yourself. Let others get to know you. Join social networking groups such as MySpace or Facebook, or Twitter. Keep up with your posts. Comment on others pages. Get to know others, and maybe just maybe they'll subscribe to your blog, or take a look at your opp.

Happy Branding!

The Game of Marketing and How to Play It

Why do so many people fail at Network Marketing? Well they fail because the majority of home business owners have NO CLUE how to market, let alone run a home business. Especially if you're company has no system in place for you to use failure is on the horizon.

Even if you have a system it's a good idea to take a course in marketing such as this one, CLICK HERE. You can get a free video course there and learn a lot of valuable information.

What can I offer you today? Well if you've got a vehicle and you're not promoting your business on it, you're wasting valuable advertising space! Plus you can count the miles on your car as a tax deduction. You can use your autoship as a deduction, your cell phone, your internet, anything associated with your business pretty much you can write off at the end of the year. I had to get a laptop for instance, that is a write off for me.

To get signs for your vehicle just go to VistaPrint.com they are cheap and awesome. I hope you'll take my advice and learn to market and use all resources to you such as your vehicle to advertise. Brand yourself as well. Get your name and your face out there. Let people get to know you. Start a blog such as this one and help others once you know what you're doing.

Until next time....

Are You Building Your Business? Or Expecting it to Build Itself.


What are you doing everyday to build your business? Have you read "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson? If not GET IT! It will help you immensley in building your business. You must do something everyday to build.

Things you can do: Make a list of things to do each day such as, mail out so many post cards to prospects. Putting rack cards or biz cards out where ever you can. Even dropping a few on the ground in a store or where ever. You can also put some in an envelope write "Free take one" and tape it to ATM's, or outside soda machines. Make sure this is not against the law in your state.

I've also put fliers on cars in parking lots. Also make sure you are allowed to do this. Make a point to call a few prospects every day, if you don't have any do the above to get some. Always have you name, number, site and picture on your advertisements.

Make sure your company has a system for you to use. Places for you to point people to for the information. As Professional Network Marketers, we are Professional Pointers, we just point people in the direction of the information. We don't beg, or try to convince someone into anything. If you have to beg or convince them today, you'll be having to convince and beg them every single month and eventually they will quit because the didn't want in - in the first place.

The people that are interested after seeing the information be sure to be available to answer questions and have your up-line help you if you are new at it. Always form that relationship with your interested prospects but don't PUSH! Let them come to you and ask you the questions.

Happy Prospecting my Friends.

The Art of Being Smart in Network Marketing....


Hello friends,

When it comes to being smart. I'm talking about looking at the company. Read your Policies and Procedures. Look at the comp plan. If you don't understand it you can call me. 910-221-4650, I have been trained to evaluate companies and have done so for many people.

It's a fact people join people, not products or companies. But if you join for a friend lets say, you're giving it all you've got, you're in love with the product but you're not making a dime. Hello people, this is not the company for you. How long should you have to keep pouring out money and not making any back? I'd say give it a good 4 mos. If you're not in the positive by then, be a customer of your friend or company and find one that works for you. I can help you do that too.

There are many things that determine which sort of company you should be in such as your Personality color, your goals, your dedication to it and how many hours you're willing to put into your home biz. Don't just take any company you come across as being a good company because they say it is and Oh you'll make such and such in a certain amt of time. It's what you put into it is what you'll get out. But some companies, you're doomed from the start. I can explain more when you call me for a free coaching session. If you're struggling, let me help you. You reap what you sow so to speak. Do your Due Diligence. Find out about the company, it's owners etc.

Go and Google the company put the company name and then [scam] in brackets like so. See what pulls up. Of course there will always be some negativity but read though some get a feel for what others have said since being in the company.. don't ever rely just on what a rep from a company is telling you. They could be making nothing and telling you they're making $1.000 every two weeks. Check the stats, see who in the company is making the money. The top dogs? Or the "average" person like most of us are.

No company will get you rich over night. And yes you have to pay to get into a home business, just as if you were opening up your own store. but a lot less expensive. Is it for you? Call me and lets see. I'm always here to help and answer questions.

Do You Want a J-O-B or Your OWN Business






Are you looking for a home business or a JOB. If you have the JOB mentality Home biz is Not for you. Yes you have to pay to get in, you get products, training, up-line support and help from Corporate if you're lucky. I was dazed and in love with one certain compay a while back, made to feel right at home then was I wasn't thier "golden girl" anymore they left me in the dust. I am happy to say I am now with two wonderful companies. I was told the company I was previously with that if I couldn't make money with them I couldn't anywhere. LIE. I was also told it's not good to have "multiple streams of income" LIE.

Back to the JOB. If you're not willing to pay between $99 to $1000 to start YOUR OWN business don't bother looking into getting one. There are costs and for good reason. It is YOUR business you are investing in.

Then I hear the excuses as to why someone can't have a home biz...."Not enough time" Stop watching the idiot box every night and devote 10 to 15 hours a week to your business. I also hear "I don't have the $" BULL! If you have a home biz you can claim up to 9 on your W-2 and start getting more money in your checks from your JOB right away. Plus anything you spend on your business is a write off. Products, flights conventions, you name it it's a write off and you get it all back. Talk to your own tax professional before claiming 9. We claim 5 and only have 2 dependents the rest is written off as my home business expenses. So if you want to keep plugging away day after day making someone else rich and their dreams come true and you're happy with that, keep working, trading time for money.

I'd rather trade time for results on MY schedule not someone else's I love what I do, I've coached many and am here to help you as well.

Your friend always

Do NOT get trapped in a Company where you Can't make Money....





I've talked to hundreds of people and I always here the same thing, I've done everything they've told me to do yet I can't make money infact I'm spending money more and more and it's still not working. RED FLAG people. If you're not making a dime and you've been with your company for awhile GET OUT! If you Love the product so be it, just be a customer.

I've seen too many people spend 100's if not 1000's of dollars trying to make a certain company work. Lord knows I did the same thing with a certain company that I was brainwashed into believing was the only good company out there. I was spending way more than I was making. Only the higher up's really made the money and it was always the same people week after week being featured. I finally wised up and found a company worth my time. I made 6 paychecks in 7 weeks and made Bronze Team Leader my second week. Not many can say that.

I've got another check coming in on Monday. Can't wait. Love those check days. What I'm earning has totally outweighed what I paid to get in and what my autoship is. Great company, phenomenal product with a new one just introduced already creating amazing results.

I don't know if my company would be for you or not. All I do know if more average people are having success with it than my previous 3 companies were. I'll be here to help you as always no matter what your decision but I urge you to take a look at what I'm doing now. It's fun, it's easy to share the product with use of brochures, biz cards etc. And I'm doing great with it. With my experience and dedication to my team if you decide to come on board you know you've got a great mentor to help you every step of the way. Take the free tour here.

If you're not interested in the biz then take a look at the product and try it for free. You can do that here.

You'll be kicking yourself later if you don't at least give the product a try.

Call me anytime for questions about my biz or help with your own.

Why I CAN Help YOU.......


Me at Tampa Bay enjoying the Good Life
Hello friends,

Some of you may be wondering, why I would want to help you and second how can I help you. The answer to the first question is I am so tired of seeing people lose hundreds if not thousands of dollars on companies, and training seminars that just don't work.

Second I can help you by taking a look at what you're doing, what company you are with and going over the 5 Pillars with you and seeing if you're in a 5 Pillars company. There aren't too many out there. I found one and haven't looked back since.

A company should be streamlined, not brag about they have 200 operators standing by to take your order. Blah, blah, blah, where do you think the money comes from to pay those operators? To pay for the building that houses them? To pay for their sick days and holiday pay etc. I hope you are getting where I am going with this. Plus the building they are in has to have electricity, heating, all the software for the operators to use, like the computers, the phone bills etc. This is a HUGE overhead and where do you think that money comes from? I'll tell you exactly where it comes from, it comes out of the comp plan. This means you get less money for the work you do.

Now no one likes to be told they are in a bad company and I'm not saying all companies out there are bad, in fact most of them have excellent products! They have to in order to stay in business. But why stay somewhere that only pays the top 2 or 3 % of the hard work you are doing?

If you're looking to make lets say $10,000 a month, most companies it'll take you anywhere from 100 to even 10,000 recruits under you to make that! In my 5 Pillars company it takes less than 400 people to make that and you can do it by just retailing and/or recruiting. We've got one lady only retails, never signed anyone up and makes about 5 grand a month. Can you do that with your company?

I'm not asking you to come join my company, I'm asking you to lets take a look at yours, see if it's a 5 Pillar's company, see how much you want to make a month in what time frame and break it all down to see if that is possible for you. Plus look at the stats page for your company, how many are really making any money? Only the people at the top?

That's just not right, our comp plan pays the new people at the bottom the highest, because most will be part time and if they can't make $ quick, what happens? They drop out, you lose them. Then you're back to square one. Also, systems are duplicate able not people, does your have a system in place that you can use and not have to know all the answers? Do you have a team rallying around you helping you to succeed? Has your upline ignored you because you're not up to par in your sales as far as they're concerned? If so we can help, and we'll do it for free.

Why does one person fail and the other succeed? It's skills, we teach those free, I don't know if you'll click the link below for your free Success in 10 Steps e-book or not, but that's why one fails and one succeeds.

Read the e-book then e-mail me with any questions and set up a time for a free coaching call. I won't be pitching you on anything, just going over your company and it's Policies and Procedures and it's comp plan. I'm here to serve you and help you.

Success in 10 Steps Go on get the free e-book read it, then contact me. I don't go chasing after people they come after me. That what you want and I can help you achieve that.

Until next time my friends!
Remember, the problems we face today, cannot be fixed by the same mind that created them. Ah ha!

A Very Easy Way to Learn the Skills You Need......


Michael Dlouhy and myself above in Houston


I see so many people struggling in their home business and it really hurts me to see this. There have been people that have lost 100's or even 1000's of dollars doing what their company told them to do and still have not made one red cent. Does this sound like you? Do you need help building your business? Did you ever consider that the company you are with is NOT a 5 Pillar's company? If that's the case you most likely won't make any money with them. Or they could be a scam altogether and that's even worse. Like these "gifting" companies. If there is NO product it is a scam. If you only get paid to bring people in it's a scam. There has got to be a legitimate product that you can retail and make money from. These are things to look for. If you are not sure if you are in a good company or not there is a very simple way to find out, READ Success in 10 Steps written by my good friend and personal Mentor Michael Dlouhy. You can get the book for FREE right here. Take the time, go to that site fill in your info, it ONLY comes to me and you'll get your free book. READ it, is your $ and your time and your business worth finding out if it's a good company? If so, do the simple task of reading that free book. I promise you it will help you.

Until next time!

How to Think?????


Art Jonak and Me above.
Yes I said How to think. I was taught by a great man How to think, not what to think. His name is Michael Dlouhy, and him and his wife Linda have to be 2 of the most generous, caring people I know. You can learn more about him and read his Success in 10 Steps here.

He taught me to not just dream but to realize my dreams. How to talk to myself to create success, how to take all the negativity out of my day. If you want what someone else has, don't be jealous of that person, DO what that person does. I frequently have asked people that have what I want to give me hints and clues on how to have that kind of success. Don't be afraid to talk to people.

Most successful people I have found love to talk, especially when it's about how they became successful! So listen, and most important take action. ANY kind of action. If you want to have a better life than what you have now, you MUST do something. ANYTHING but you must do something. Going to work, coming home, eating dinner and plopping down on the couch to watch the boob tube is not doing something.

Get off the couch, read the book I put up above and lets start to turn your life around together. You may have to be a little uncomfortable now to be really comfortable later a great man said. His name is Art Jonak and him and his wife Ann are wonderful successful people and friends of mine.

So what would I suggest to get you going on your road to success? Read the book from the link above, then read "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson you can find that on e-bay or Amazon for cheap and then get with me and we'll work on a success plan for you. And while you're at it get your FREE CRAVE website here. Make sure you've got your speakers turned up because it's exciting! Do something right now to change your life and I'll talk to you soon.

I'm Waiting For YOU......


Hello Friend,

I am sitting here in my lovely home, waiting for you to come and talk with me. Let me share with you the meaning of freedom. The meaning of living, the meaning of doing what you love. What is your passion? Are you doing what you love? Are you where you want to be? Is your life as you'd like it to be? If it is, I'm thrilled for you and I welcome you to my world. If not what are you waiting for? Are you afraid to step outside the box? What would your friends think if you were getting a bonus check in the mail every week? What would they say if you told them you were now a Network Marketer and the president and CEO of your own business? Would they call you crazy? Would they say "Oh those things never work" who is saying this to you? Joe blow across the street that works at a gas station for a living? Why would you ever ask advice on something from someone that does not have what you want? How on earth would Joe blow or billy bob dillyweed possibly know anything about Network Marketing if they've never done it themselves?

If you want to change your future, live the life of your dreams you need to hang around people that have what you want. Your neighbor down the street driving some beat up car working 60 hours a week for $400 is not the one to ask. This may seem rude but look at your 5 closest friends. chances are you are all in about the same boat. I'm not saying these are bad people not in the least. But if you want to be rich beyond your wildest dreams and live a life most only dream about, you need to be with like minded people and those that have accomplished this. Can I help you? Yes I can, but ONLY if you are coachable. If you already think you know it all then I can't help you. Stay on your current path and stay broke or maybe you're making great money but you're a slave to your job. You decide. I'll be here. Helping those that want to have a real life. Time Freedom, the ability to travel whenever and where ever. Can it be done? Oh yes my friend.

I've seen it, I'm friends with some of the most brilliant people in the Network Marketing world. They have what I want and what I am striving for and I'm making great progress. These are the people I hang out with. Let me, us, help you. When you are ready, you let me know. I'll be here. I'm not going anywhere. It's all up to you and there is no better time than now to get started. For Starters read this
if that gets your juices flowing give me a call and I'll help you get started. I look forward to helping you to live a life most only dream about....

Until Next time...
CRAVE your Day!

Network Marketing and Me



Humm, so you want to know about Network Marketing, what is it? What's the big buzz? Well it's kind of like this, you go see a movie right? You LOVE the movie, so what do you do? You come home tell all your friends, family co-workers etc how great the movie was and that they need to go and see it! Right?

Well so now they go and see the movie and they totally agree it's a great movie. So you go to the theater and say hey I referred about 15 people to see your movie are you going to compensate me for it? They are going to look at you like you've gone completely nuts. Of course they are not going to pay you for all the free advertising you just did for them. Not one dime.

Well with Network Marketing, you join a company and yes there is a small fee to get started because you are essentially buying a business, it's NOT a job, then you pick a few products you like you try them, you love them you tell others they want to try them too so you send them to your website provided to you by the company you are partnered with they buy from your site, pay through your site, it gets shipped right to them and YES you earn a commission on that!

Now maybe your friend sees you making extra money doing this and they want to get started doing it too. Well you can sign them up under you! You make a bonus for signing them up, they get their starter kit, pick the products they want to promote and boom you have started a downline of your own not only earning off of your efforts but off the efforts of anyone you've brought in too. and they do the same and so on and so on. This is the true nature of Networking. Word of mouth.

I don't understand why anyone would bother with anything else, working at some retail store or sub shop, give me a break! Make your dreams come true and give Network Marketing a shot. I can help you. I'm not only a mentor, I'm a Professional Network Marketer and a writer. I can help and I will. Start here.

Blessings!

Who is Amy Pinios



Hello friends!

I wanted to have this blog post just be about me and who I am and why you can trust me. I am a wife to Santi, a Mom to 2 wonderful kids ages 3 and 14. I have 7 cats, 4 dogs, and 2 gorgeous Sugar Gliders. I'll put a few pics so you can see them.





I love my life here in NC. I get to stay home, make money, help others and most importantly watch my kids grow up and not miss a thing. I work around my kids. Not put my kids around my work. Can you say that? Are you rushing out the door at 8 AM cup of coffee in hand shoving the kids off to some daycare so you can go bust your butt for not nearly what you're worth?

I am so glad I don't have that life and you don't have to either you can start changing your situation today, right now if you choose.
Now having your own home business is NOT a job! You get paid based on your own efforts and results and YES there is a fee to get started because this is a business NOT a job. I hear so many people say "well I shouldn't have to pay to work for someone" There ya go, WRONG. You will NOT be working for "someone" you will be working for yourself partnered with a company. Some companies charge $1.000 to $3,000 to get started! Now that is a little crazy but people are still shelling out the money to get involved.

With my company you can get started for as little as $175.00 give or take a few dollars. Or if you want to start with a bang and your dead serious and want to start making money right away and you really want to work this thing you can get started at the $499.00 level which is still by far cheaper than most of the companies out there. Plus you have full support and training. We have several products. We don't expect you to sell them all, pick a few you like and promote those that's it. Our newest product "Crave" is taking the world by storm! It's the only energy drink of it's kind that is portable, can be poured in water, pinnapple juice or apple juice my personal favorite and it's wonderful. No crash, no jitters, no come down. And it burns fat! Imagine that.

Learn more about Crave here
you can even get your own free website right from there. Order yourself a box of crave hand out some samples and get going. Be sure to sign up first though so you can make commissions. Give me a call if you're interested and I can walk you through the whole thing. 910-221-4650 anytime..... Hope to see and hear from you soon! :)
