I’m getting Grandma a samsung because of this.
I happen to know a little something about MLM and network marketing. I have studied it for years and here’s something you should know…
98% of people who sign up for these types of programs never make a dime.
The top 2% are always the ones giving the presentations that MLM’ers are always inviting you to. Here’s a hint if you want to succeed, be the one at the front of the room giving the presentations.
Andrew, As always thanks for all the great nuggets. See you at SAM

Sage advice once again Andrew – thank you.
MLM can be a tricky one. I believe that when you come from the heart versus “making a quick buck” any business model can work. If the product in your MLM gives value to your life and possibly saves you some money, then why not share the opportunity with others.
Make your MLM experience about the value you give versus the number of other people you get to join your “downline”. If the only incentive is cash, odds are you will be challenged to stay in long-term.
Another perspective is to consider the education you will received that no school will ever teach you…how to handle rejection. It will help you grow in all aspects of any business venture and life that you pursue.
Enjoyed the show and sure glad I drive a Chev 4X4…

Good Job Samsung!
My fav Superbowl ad was the Acura one where Jay Leno Flys in and Punk’s Jerry Seinfeld
March 7th, 2012 at 9:28 am
Andrew, thanks for sharing the New Engaging Manual from Samsung…Now that’s an AMAZING way to explain how to use something…clever, simple and to the point. This one is a true winner!
Apple could even learn a think or two from this one!
Cheers,

I certainly didn’t get any manual like that with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus last week! I finally did find tutorials on line and a 100+ page instrucion manual that I downloaded, but coming from a flip phone, in the first 24 hours I was ready to send it back!
March 7th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
Andrew,
Awesome show as always.
Really liked what Samsung did with their phone instructions. You’re seeing this a lot more in the bookstores, publishers making books more interactive to compete against the growing ebook trend.

Interesting perspectives about promoting an MLM, thanks for sharing.
And it seems like most people resonated with the Samsung manual, its brilliant, isnt it?!

Brilliant Samsung Instruction Manual – Baby Boomers are celebrating knowing consideration is being taken to ensure they’ll be able to “keep up” with an ever changing world and “keep on” circulating those green backs – thank you for sharing this info, Andrew – lots of creative ideas are sure to come from this show – BTW – You’re brilliant, too!!! Thank you.

Absolutely loved the packaging/manual for the phone, BRILLIANT!
And btw, the best one has to be the sling baby. Interesting that both the adds used creating a slightly (or strong depending on your sensitivity to the issues of baby safety and pet abuse) uncomfortable emotion to engage you.
Thanks Andrew

Thanks Greg,
I wondered who would mention the puppet

Can I just say what a aid to seek out someone who really knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know easy methods to convey a difficulty to gentle and make it important. More people have to learn this and perceive this aspect of the story. I cant consider youre no more in style because you undoubtedly have the gift.

interesting Show, we will be really destressed after seen that , Awesome show =0

Ford vs. Chevy … loved that one
Indeed a BIG marketing lesson from Samsung – the manual is engaging & innovative.

Samsung has changed the way we think about mobile diveces advertising, they won the market with a good product and a good service, with an overall good branding and global distribution at a reasonable price. They will own the market no that Jobs is out of the equation.

Useful article and enjoyable also. Your writing on different issues have attracted many visitor of your site. I am finding useful information there almost every moment.
March 29th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
I have a quick comment about ezine article posting as an MLM promotion tactic. Article submission might have worked in the past, but not anymore. Google’s Panda updates (algorithm changes to eliminate spammy sites from search results) downgraded Ezines.com and similar sites. The goal of posting articles there was to get an authoritative link to your own site. The problem is that then you have to promote that article too, get links to it, to make it authoritative. It is much easier to post articles on your own site and work on making it authoritative.
In other words, post your articles on your site, not on other sites for best online exposure.

great comment Garnet Mierau about the MLM, its true that it really aint a get rich quick specially with this one that is why we are looking for a vissionary entrepreneurs.Not easy at all to work it out specially as a mom without any nearby family to help babysits the kids but I really love this MLM am with since 8 months cause you can still benifit from the system as a member even if you only have less than 38 downlines and saves a couple of thousands a year plus an emmidiate cashbacks from every purchase but of course that is not the goal if you want to have financial freedom.
This MLM business is also so strick but if you really work it out and reach career level 7, you will recieve a passive income of at least a million yearly after 5 to 8 years of work.anyone interested and good at working with people can ask my email from andrew and I can send you the video presentation to have an Idea about the company if andrew permits. As MLmer, we all know that we have to act fast before other sign ups our friends or our neighbors.:)

I love the idea of having and advertisement created by the viewers itself via a contest of course! In fairness it does save money at the same time it has a higher success rate of better and more reviews! I’m not familiar with MLM but thanks for this!

Very descriptive blog, I liked that bit. Will there
be a part 2?
December 8th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Thanks a lot for giving everyone such a memorable chance to check tips from this blog.
It’s always so pleasing and stuffed with fun for me and my office co-workers to visit your website minimum three times in one week to learn the fresh guidance you have. And of course, we are actually fulfilled with all the spectacular suggestions served by you. Certain 3 facts on this page are honestly the most impressive we have had.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to
see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be
a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share
it with someone!
March 12th, 2013 at 8:12 pm
Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest
authoring on other websites? I have a blog centered on the same topics
you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information.
I know my visitors would appreciate your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
March 30th, 2013 at 5:01 pm
Informative posting, it is nice to at last find insightful information amongst the dross, I am pleasently grateful to encounter a blog that is not full of the normal rubbish, congratulations.

I threw up and worked out how to get skinny puppy vocals but
I have not been very strict on my diet. I love you
all, and that this was an innocent idle task for my subconscious
to perform.
