Business, Networking & Sunrise Travel Club

You never know when you are going to lose your job, or have to find another way to make more income. Making money is not about sales, brains, or having money to make money. It is about Networking with people and building a web. As Zig Ziglar said, you can have everything in life you want, if you help enough other people get what they want. Think about it for a second, what if you helped ten people reach their goals? Do you think they would remember you? Of course they would! They are not going to remember the company or the product, they are going to remember the person who made some of their dreams come true. They will return the favor one day with out a doubt. Sunrise Travel Club (STC) is a proven fact of this. When you help other people, you can count on you web growing.

And when you teach the people how to help and mentor other people that are in need, guess what, you will gain from that. Not only mentally and emotionally, but financially as well. It is a numbers game to a certain point, but only to a point. People do not buy the company or the product in Network marketing, they buy people. They buy into what you as a person can offer them in support and tem work.

Traveling is one of the most sought after forms of relaxation more than anything. People love to travel to very high end resorts as well. It is as if they spend the money on vacation to feel like royalty for a week. Some people golf, others build cars, some buy extravagant toys, and then there are those of us that travel. Sunrise Travel Club (STC) knows that people love to travel and they know how expensive it is. I feel bad for the people who got involved in a twenty, thirty, fifty thousand or more timeshare. When I talk with timeshare owners, they are sick and tired of all the fees and payments that come with the timeshare, and also the fact that they only get one week out of the whole deal.

And you have got to just hate the high pressure selling of these free dinners or free sunset cruises you get. These are some of the best salesman in the world, and unfortunately, you are falling into their trap if you want to go get a free dinner, Free is a funny word here, I would argue that after they sell you on a timeshare, you just paid $20,000 for the meal you just ate. But that is off course my opinion. Sunrise Travel Club (STC) is not a timeshare business. Sunrise Travel club is not in the business of asking people for double digit sums of money. They want to actually help people build a dream. People helping People, that is what it really boils down to, really go do your research for your self. And I dare you to ask questions and lots of them to. Try to find the scam, try to find the catch. You will not.!

Top Social Networking Sites proposed by Sunrise Travel Club

It must be already clear to you that social networking can help you a lot in finding new prospects and expanding your business. You all know Facebook and MySpace, but do you know Orkut or LinkedIn? I have therefore compiled a list of the most important ones, I think it will help you a lot.

Facebook: You all know it! It is the most popular social networking website and has more than 400 million active users across the world. It provides a wide range of services, including messages, instant messaging, creating groups, etc. It can become a valuable tool for network marketers, since it can help you meet people and keep up on what they are doing. Once you add a friend to your Facebook friend list you will always know when they are adding things to their blog or updating their profile. You will also see when they are online, so you can directly chat with them.

MySpace: This is a website launched in 2003 and owned by Fox Interactive Media. It has almost everything, from personalized URLs for its users to browsing without registration. It is one of the most popular websites in the USA. It includes also just like Facebook a wide range of applications like Moods, Blurbs, Blogs, “interests” section, “details”section. It also has the possibility to upload music and photos and to receive comments from other users.

Twitter: Twitter is a bit different from other social networking websites. It is about sending 140 character messages, also known as tweets. You can tell the whole world what is happening in your life with the help of these tweets. A wide range of tools make it very easy to use twitter, that’s why it is so popular. You also get to follow people and keep a track of what is happening in their lives. Since Twitter is growing at an impressive rate, it is something that network marketers can really take advantage of.

Tagged: As the third largest social networking site in the US , it became one of the most interesting social networking platforms. It is described as an “interactive social experience”. Based in San Francisco, California, it allows its members to meet people, based on their likes and preferences. It also facilitates online gaming, and allows the members to share tags and gifts. The website has 70 million active users around the world.

Orkut: This is owned by Google Inc. and it is named after its creator, an employee of Google – Orkut Büyükkökten. It is the most popular online social networking site in Asia and South America and has more than a 100 million users in the world, 70 percent of which come from Brazil and India together. So if you target prospects from Asia or South America, start using Orkut.

Friendster: This privately owned social networking website hat its headquarters in Sydney, Australia. With Friendster, you can create an account, set your page up the way you want it, add widgets, add friends, and more to your profile. It allows the users to make new friends, most often based on their preferences, and interact with them. It also allows the users to share messages, videos, photos, etc. With about 115 million registered users to its credit, it is indeed one of the most popular social networking websites in the world.

LinkedIn: Every serious network marketer must have an account in LinkedIn. Founded in December 2002 and launched in May 2003, it is mainly used for professional networking. It is the top social networking site for business development. It has more than 67 million users across the world. Half of these users come from the United States, though the European and Asian countries have a considerable share in the user base. It connects you to your trusted contacts and helps you exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals. It allows you to develop more contacts in the same field, with the intention of spreading your business. More of a professional networking website, LinkedIn is quite popular among recruiters.

Travellerspoint: Quite popular among travel and tourism enthusiasts, Travellerspoint allows its users to discuss their travel experiences through forums and blogs. It is basically travel guide, which also allows its users to upload photos and maps of various tourist destinations in the world. This social network can be very useful for tracking down new prospects for Sunrise Travel Club.

Google Buzz: The latest entrant in the world of social networking, Google Buzz is also scaling the popularity charts quite rapidly. This service which works along with Google’s web-based mail service Gmail, allows its users to share messages, photos, videos, links, etc. Google Buzz allows its users to access a wide range of Google products through a common interface, and this is the biggest advantage that it has over its counterparts.

These were some of the top social networking sites in the world of Internet today, each having their unique fan following. No single website can boast of being the best when it comes to online social networking. While some people may like Facebook for the hordes of applications and games it has to offer, others may find the same quite irritating. As the popularity of these social networking websites continue to soar, the competition between them is becoming more and more intense. With new uses of technology being implemented by these sites every now and then, the user constantly has lots to explore.

How to get free leads using Facebook

Today I would like to share one of my favorite lead generation strategies used by me for Sunrise Travel Club…Facebook! With Facebook you can generate quality leads very easy, you have only to follow these few steps:

1. Make an attractive profile: Remove all games like "mafia wars" from your posts. The same goes for all those quiz results. You want to look professional right? Well, you won't look professional with all those posts. Furthermore make sure that you complete your profile thoroughly. Add an empowering profile picture. You must look like you enjoy life in your profile picture. Stay away from any cartoons or anything besides a real life photo of you.

2. Add the correct contact information: How do you expect your prospects to contact you if they can't find your phone number or at least your e-mail?  Don't forget, Facebook is made to build relationships. Don't waste your chances because you didn't put your phone number.

3. Add friends with common interests: Search for groups who deal with "MLM" or "network marketing" and connect with people who like MLM and network marketing.  You can get at least 2-3 friends a day, just because of being member of such groups. Most of them will message you wanting to connect with you.

4. Start your own Facebook group: This is VERY important! When you have your own group, you also have a list of people to contact. This is SO powerful. It can turn out to be very valuable, especially for those of you who can't afford to get an autoresponder like "aweber". You can message them all as many times as you wish.

5. Connect with Leaders and ask them for help: Don't forget that Facebook is a social networking site, so why not become friends with the leaders? Leaders WANT you to come to them with questions. Many of them take those questions and broadcast them to their subscriber list as content. So it is a win – win situation for both parties.

If you follow the above strategies, you too can get FREE leads from Facebook and which you can use to grow your business with Sunrise Travel Club or any other network marketing opportunity you chose.

How to build a succesfull downline

Have you ever wondered how some of the leaders manage to have a giant downline, that gets bigger day by day?  Well, here are the five steps that every serious network marketer must follow, in order build a successful team and an ever expanding downline.

1.  Find qualified prospects
When you contact people to share your business with, make sure you find qualified prospects! Not everyone will qualify for your team! Here's a hint: when you contact someone, ask them a series of questions. Make a sort of an interview and ask them about their goals or if they ever owned a business before. Don't be afraid to disqualify someone who you don't want to work with.

2. Team up with like minded people
While you are going through the process of interview and qualification, look for those people that share the vision to succeed. You want to work with like minded people, who have a vision and an attitude that they will do everything in order to succeed. This will ensure that everyone is on the same page as you charge forward together. You must all work as a unified team toward achieving a common goal. This is much more powerful than a bunch of individuals plodding alone.

3. Avoid negative people
As your team begins to grow to large number it is of great importance to avoid negative or toxic people. Those people are like energy vampires and will suck the life from your positive flow. It only takes one of those to upset the whole team. Stick with the folks that bring a positive vibe.

4. Duplication
Make sure you have a dublicatable system that others can follow and implement. It must be simple and easy to follow. If others believe that they can do what you did with them, it will be much easier for those teammates to reproduce your results. Train your group to duplicate the actions that got you such a large team to begin with.

5. Lead by example
This is perhaps the most important step. You must lead your team by example. In order to create the leaders you want in your team, you must be that leader. By providing that leadership, the others in your group will mirror your actions and replicate what you did to grow your team.
