It Is Hard To Beat The MLM Home Based Business

By Sonja Schuyler

It is hard to beat the MLM home based business. You get to work at home, wear what you want, and never have to commute to the office. You also have the opportunity to make great money.

With all the electronic tools, gadgetry, and the Internet, the MLM home based business has never been easier. Your work has been greatly reduced. Once your MLM business is up and running, you might only have to spend 3 to 5 hours a week working it. Thats it.

The most effective way to decide which MLM home based business is right for you is to do some research to find a product or service that you really like and then join a company that sells just that. There is no such thing as the best MLM program or the best MLM company. If you like and use the product or service, chances are others will too.

Build your own MLM home business using a system that can work using the internet. You need to understand that your MLM home business is not a hobby. Decide up front how much time and money you want to spend.

It is good to be a self-starter and be motivated. You don't have to have any special skills to run a multi-level system. Any skill a network marketer needs can be learned while running their MLM home business based from their marketing plan.

To get started in the MLM home based business costs very little and you get a proven system that is much like the franchise opportunity. You can begin making a profit in months rather than in years.

It doesn't matter if you need extra money to pay the bills, want to build your retirement income, or looking to make a good living on the internet, you should seriously consider the MLM home based business.

Does GM Need Saving?

By Dino P Delellis

Amongst GM employees, aside from the fear of getting a pink paper next week ( or the week after ) speculation is high as to whether the concept vehicle, being called the Volt, is going to be as revolutionary as the hype suggests.

GM, Ford and Chrysler arrayed a huge number of lawyers and much cherished Washington lobbyists to go after California after it decided to introduce a zero emissions rule on part of all car fleets. While GM was fighting California, it was also building an electric car, 10 years ago called the EV1. The state lost, GM breathed a sigh of relief and promptly destroyed all EV1's and sold the patents.

Yep, sold the patents to a MIT. Just kidding. If the patents had been sold to MIT, the car would have been rebuilt and the Toyota Prius hybrid would never have been created. Whoever bought the patents wasn't interested in building an electric car. There is enough anecdotal evidence to suggest the battery patents were purchased by Texaco who has done tremendous work with them since ( NOT ).

Balancing the books, one might claim. Lots of Research and Development costs, nothing to show for it, so sell the technology. It wasn't an objective decision. After an acrimonious battle with the state of California, GM management couldn't get rid of the technology fast enough. A billion dollars later, GM executives didn't stop to think that perhaps core elements could play a critical roll in future transportation technology. They had to wait for the Japanese to prove that similar technology could and would be a huge element in the future of transportation.

Anyway in the latest from an interview with GM's Chief Designer we get the following profile of the Volt.

The Volt is probably GM's last, best hope for the future and certainly its most significant upcoming vehicle. Saddled with dwindling market share, credit-strapped consumers, and a lingering reputation as a purveyor of gas-thirsty vehicles, GM executives need the Volt to become an iconic product, like Apple's (AAPL) 1998 iMac or even Chrysler's 1980s K-car before. The Volt has to affirm the company's ability to innovate and, eventually, create a financial foothold from which the battered automaker can begin to turn itself around.

GM's response to public outcry shortly after co-jointly winning the lawsuit against California on the grounds that only the federal government had the right to determine zero emission, was to go on a publicity campaign extolling the virtues of their own version of Zero emissions - Hydrogen gas by 2010. Which probably prompted BMW to wake up and create a wonderful Hydrogen Gas vehicle which is already 4-5 years old and in its fourth or fifth refinement. So zip forward to 2008 and GM has backtracked on its Hydrogen promises and is now attempting to leap frog the Toyota Prius with technology that will get a commuter 40 miles of gas free driving on a nightly electrical charge.

According to GM research, many drivers will not need to switch to the gas engine because simply recharging the vehicle via a regular outlet at home overnight will satisfy most of their driving needs. When I first heard this, I thought - What a useless car. Who wants a car that does only 40 miles per charge, but in truth, the car simply switches to the small gas engine at that point and continues its merry way.

Despite the GM bashing that many of us might engage in, on occasion, we all truly want a Volt or something like it. Traveling and seeing new places isn't just a wish for the elite. But with gas prices threatening to go higher and the slightest threat of war poised to carry them beyond even the previous high of $147 per barrel, having a vehicle with the potential of the Volt is simply everyone's dream.

So will or can the dream car Volt save the General?

To answer that question, perhaps we should ask - Does GM need saving?

BusinessWeek estimated GM's Liquidity position to be 45 Billion in May of 2005 with a burn rate this year of over a Billion a month here in 2008 ( Boston Herald ). Estimated reserves now stand at about 25 Billion and analysts say that even with the 10 Billion in future cost cutting, GM may need another 10-12 Billion in cash to see their way through to 2010.

Detroit News writes in an article on Oct 14th 2008

GM had access to about $21 billion cash and $5 billion in available credit at the end of June and is in the midst of cutting $10 billion in costs by the end of 2009 and raising $5 billion through asset sales and borrowing.

Cost-cutting associated with the aforementioned 10 Billion in cuts, intensified when GM announced it was closing plants in Grand Rapids and Janesville, Wis. 2500 workers are affected by these measures in plants that produce sport-utility vehicles and parts for pickups/SUVs.

So, since 2005 to 2008, GM and it's fat cat, top heavy management burned thru 25 Billion in cash and part of that was during 2 years of strong sales. The rumour is, that GM is eyeing the cash reserves of Chrysler ( estimated 11 Billion ) to help it through to 2010 when the Chevy Volt and Cruz are expected to help effect a rescue

So, what are our expectations for the Volt? GM says its expecting to sell about 10,000 Chevy Volts at between 30-40,000 USD each in 2010. So, that's about 3-4 Billion dollars in gross sales with a net of about a 800 Million dollars annually at an estimated 20% profit per car.

So, is this innovative car of the 2010 year - Volt just a little, just too late?

I leave that answer up to you, but if I had to make a serious bet with odds, I know which way I would be betting.

Best Online Article Marketing Strategy - Promote New Ezines on Niche Subjects

By Steve Jackson

What's the best online article marketing strategy? Let's look at some tips, secrets and information all ezine article marketers should be aware of.

Before you start writing your new ezines on your chosen subjects, you need to make sure you are ready to do so, if you like writing but you choose to write on a subject that you are not interested in, you are going to find it a lot more difficult. The same goes for writing about a topic you do not have knowledge on. So try to find a subject you are interested in and research those topics before you write about them.

Take a look at that title - If you have a dull title, then people are going to think your ezine article is dull and pass it up. You could have a high quality ezine article, but if that title is low quality title, then you may not do so well. You need to give that reader a reason as to why they should read your article and a catchy title will be a good reason. Whatever you do, you should make sure that catchy title lives up to its expectations.

Many individuals fail to do this step, but you need to set yourself apart from the crowd. Subjects like sports, food and travelling is something that everyone is writing about, so if you are going to write about something like that try to find an aspect about it that is a little bit niche.

Try to find subjects that are not only niche but in relatively high demand. It's often a good idea to evaluate a keywords KEI (keyword effectiveness index) to get an idea of what the supply of content and demand for that particular term is like.

There are many article directories out there that we use daily. We recommend using ones such as buzzle, go articles, article dashboard, ezine articles and article alley. They are five of the most popular ones that are easy to use. Before you use them, you will need to create your own profile.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and encourage your readers to get in contact with you if they have any, use it as an opportunity to promote your bio and network within your industry.

When you write ezine articles to share information, you should put it in simple terms so that every individual that reads it can understand. As an example, use guzzle instead of the word quaff. You do not want to cause individuals to have to break out with their dictionary in order to understand the meaning of your ezine article.

Research as much as possible before you begin, research your keywords and topics thoroughly, doing your homework is the best online article marketing strategy there is.
