Success in network marketing comes down to a few simple basics backed by a few simple principles.  Here are three principles that I consider crucial to success as a network marketer.

Always Be Coachable

Being coachable is one of the most important traits of the successful marketer.  Why?  Everyone comes to network marketing without a clue as to how to succeed.  It’s absolutely crucial that you work with a coach, usually the person that sponsored you into the business, in order to learn how to work the business successfully.  If you’re not willing to take direction, encouragement, and the occasional constructive criticism, you’re setting the stage for your own failure.

Believe!

Belief is another crucial success principle.  After being coachable, it’s perhaps the next most important principle.  Believing in yourself, in your success, in your product, and in you opportunity allows you to make it through the difficult times.  Without that belief, you’re liable to throw your hands up and quit as soon as the going gets tough.  If you believe with all your heart that you will be successful, no matter what happens, you’ll be able to stay focused and stay motivated regardless of the many challenges that you’ll face.

Be Action Oriented, Not Result Oriented

Success in network marketing comes, in large part, as a result of taking daily action toward growing your business.  You must take action in order to succeed, and you must take action regardless of the immediate results of that action! (Of course, you’ve got to take the right action, but that’s what your coach is for.)  Success is a marathon, not a sprint, and results don’t always come right away.  In fact, the results you’re looking for sometimes don’t appear for quite some time!  Remember the right action will always produce the desired results.  Stay focused on action, and the results will follow.

Learn how you could be making money with Blu Frog Energy.

Blu Frog Energy is the best tasting energy drink on the market. It’s packed full of natural goodness, has fewer calories than the competition, and it kicks like a mule!  Here are five reasons that you should be drinking Blu Frog Energy.

Blu Frog Energy Does a Body Good

No added flavors, no added sugars, and two ounces of Original Limu in every can means that Blu Frog is not just good for you, it’s great! See “What’s in Blu Frog?” for more.

Blu Frog Energy Gets You Through the Afternoon Slump

I don’t know about you, but I usually have a little energy slump around 3pm every day.  Long days at the office spent in front of the computer can be really tough – draining both physical and mental energies.  A can of Blu Frog helps me get through that slump and keeps me going strong until quitting time.

Blu Frog Energy Tastes Great

Blu Frog is full of delicious, natural fruit flavors.  Mango and papaya puree, combined with pear juice and apple juice concentrates, create a delicious mix of flavors that make drinking this energy drink a truly enjoyable experience.

Blu Frog Energy Pays You to Drink

Yes, you read that right! All you need to do to earn is purchase some product for yourself and share Blu Frog with your friends! Blu Frog will provide you with your very own marketing site (here’s mine), and every time your friends buy Blu Frog from your site, the company sends you a check! See “Seven Ways to Make Money Sharing Blu Frog Energy” for more.

Blu Frog Energy Helps You Stick It to the Tax Man

Let me tell you how it will be,
There’s one for you, nineteen for me.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

– Taxman by The Beatles

A lawyer friend of mine once told me, “Tax evasion is illegal.  Tax avoidance is the American way of life.”  I agree wholeheartedly, and there’s no better way to stick it to the Tax Man than by starting your own home-based business. Don’t take my word for it! Check out “Let the tax genie out of the bottle” from MarketWatch for further details.

Wrapping Up

There you have it, five great reasons to drink Blu Frog Energy! How can you go wrong with an energy drink that tastes great and is great for you? And while the home-business aspect of Blu Frog certainly isn’t for everyone, it really sweetens the pot for me and for many of my friends.

Ready for some Blu Frog of your own? Go ahead and grab a case or two. Questions, comments? Drop me a line at jeremy at gimmeblufrog dot com or leave me a comment below. I look forward to hearing from you!

The U.S. economy is in tough shape right now, and consensus opinion says things are going to get worse before they get better. A lot of people are cutting back, considering a second job, and working hard to make their income stretch as far as possible.

For me, an extra $500 would give me a lot of extra breathing room in my monthly budget. It would go a long way towards achieving my goal of total financial independence. In short order, I would be free and clear of my credit cards and my car payment, allowing me to start saving all that money I’m currently throwing at monthly debt payments. I can’t wait for that day to come!

How about you? How would your life change with an extra 500 bucks per month?

Who isn’t interested in making extra money?  Who isn’t interested in making a ridiculous amount of extra money?  They say the economy is bad.  They say things will get worse before things get better.  Seriously?  I’m not going to let that bring me down.  I refuse to participate in a recession!  There are always opportunities, even in the worst of times, and Blu Frog Energy is one of those opportunities.

Have you ever heard the saying, “You’ve got to have money in order to make money”?  I’m here to tell you that’s BULL.  Whoever said that never heard of the seven ways to make money with Blu Frog Energy.

How to Get Started

First, and most importantly, you need to sign up for Blu Frog before you can start making money.  To get started, all you need to do is sign up to receive two cases of Blu Frog on a monthly basis.  Seriously!  That’s it!

Personal Sales

Grab yourself a couple of cases of Blu Frog Energy and start drinkin’.  Your friends, family, even strangers are going to want to know what in the world Blu Frog is.  Tell ‘em it’s the best tasting, all natural energy drink on the market, and sell ‘em a couple of cans to try for themselves! I can’t tell you how many cans of Blu Frog Energy that I’ve sold since the launch this weekend.  Get yourself a case of 24 for $65 and sell ‘em for $4 a can.  You do the math.

Fast Start Bonus

Who doesn’t love to make some quick money?  Who doesn’t like a lot of quick money?  That’s what the Fast Start Bonus is all about!  The Fast Start Bonus pays 50% the first month and 40% the second.  And that’s paid out weekly!  That means for every case of Blu Frog Energy purchased by the friends you refer, you’ll pick up $25 in the first month and $20 in the second month!

The Fast Start Bonus is paid weekly.

Fast Start Pool

The Fast Start Pool is a way to earn even more quick cash.  For every five folks that you refer in a 30-day period who order two or more cases of Blu Frog Energy, you get paid a fat bonus!  Because the bonus is based on a percentage of Blu Frog sold, the amount varies month to month, but it’s usually at least $100.

The Fast Start Pool is paid monthly.

Level Bonuses

“Residual income” means getting paid over and over for work that you did once.  Musicians and authors make residual income, getting paid every time their music is played or every time a book is sold.  You can earn residual income as well!  Every time one of the people you refer buys more product, you get paid.  Refer ‘em once, get paid every single time they order Blu Frog Energy.

Even better, if the people you refer share Blu Frog with their friends, you get paid!  You can get paid up to eight levels deep!  That’s some serious long term money.

Level Bonuses are paid monthly.

Matching Bonus

The Matching Bonus allows you to get paid an extra bonus on the Level Bonuses of all the people you refer.  If your referrals are sharing Blu Frog themselves, they’re earning Level Bonuses of their own, and you get a cut.  Not bad, eh?

The Matching Bonus is paid on a monthly basis.

Global Bonus Pool

How would you like to earn a percentage of every Coca-Cola sold?  That would be a dream, wouldn’t it?  Well, for qualified Blu Frog Energy members, you can earn a cut of every single Blu Frog Energy drink sold nationwide!  Imagine what that would look like.  Blu Frog Energy is already taking the nation by storm.  Energy drink sales are up 516% over the last five years.  After you qualify, you get a cut of each Blu Frog sold.  That’s truly making money while you sleep!

The Global Bonus Pool is paid monthly.

Blu Frog is a wildly healthy, absolutely delicious energy drink that’s packed with great for your body ingredients! It kicks like a mule, and since it’s packed with natural goodness, there’s no nasty crash that’s so common with other energy drinks.  What’s more, there are two ounces of Original Limu in every can!  Taking into account that Blu Frog contains no added sugars, no artificial flavors, and all natural ingredients, Blu Frog is not just good for you, it’s great!  Can you believe it?  A truly healthy energy drink! How many other energy drinks can say that? (What’s Original Limu?  No worries, I’ll tell you all about that in a minute.)

How does Blu Frog Taste?

What does Blu Frog taste like?  Well, it’s hard to describe (everyone has different tastes), but it’s safe to say that Blu Frog is light and refreshing, with natural fruit flavors.  It includes a blend of papaya and mango puree, and apple and pear juice concentrate, and no artificial flavors to get in the way of those delicious fruit flavors.  To say that it goes down smoothly is an understatement.  It doesn’t have that nasty, thick, syrupy taste that so many other energy drinks have, thanks to the fact that there aren’t any added sugars.

Blu Frog Destroys the Competition

How does Blu Frog stack up to the competition?  Yeah, Blu Frog pretty much kicks the competition’s ass.  It’s got fewer calories, fewer carbs, more B6, and more B12 than those other energy drinks.  For a more detailed comparison, see Blu Frog vs. The World.

About Original Limu

I promised to tell you more about Original Limu, so here goes.  Original Limu is the world’s best tasting super food, an immune boosting supplement with all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that your body needs to take care of itself.  Original Limu is the world’s best source of fucoidan, quite possibly the most important and effective immune boosting supplement ever discovered.  How about some quotes from people in the know?

“The greatest health discovery of our time, even surpassing the discovery of penicillin and antibiotics.”

Dr. Thomas F. Bailey
Ph.D. in Chemistry

“Original Limu™ is the one product I have gotten the most results from in all my years of practicing medicine.”

The Blu Frog launch wrapped up on Saturday night, and it was one hell of an awesome event.  It was great to see old friends, make some new friends, and to be present at the birth of Blu Frog Energy.  Here’s the scoop:

Blu Frog was finally made available to the public this weekend.  I got to drink the first of many cans on Friday night, and I was impressed.  It tastes great, it’s all natural, I experienced a significant energy boost without that nasty crash so many other drinks cause.  No added flavors, no added artificial sugars, fewer calories, full of vitamins, minerals, nutrients – seriously, what doesn’t Blu Frog have going for it?

Blu Frog is teaming up with NASCAR, sponsoring Larry Foyt’s #56 Chevrolet Monte Carlo at the upcoming Daytona Speedweek.  Blu Frog is also sponsoring Foyt’s #74 Dodge truck earlier in the weekend.  UPDATE: Edited to correct the specifics, full details now available!

Ted Murphy of Izea delivered a great talk on social marketing on Saturday afternoon.  Ted has tons of energy, is a lot of fun to listen to, and really knows his business.  He shared the basics of social marketing, introduced the crowd to sites like Twitter and Facebook, and went so far as to help an attendee sign up for Twitter on the spot!  Nice work, Ted.

There was a great presentation about TLC’s charitable initiative, For Goodness Sake (TLC is the company behind Blu Frog).  While most charities have had to cut back on the donations that they’re making, For Goodness Sake has actually increased its donations!  It a testament to both the great success of TLC and the leadership at TLC.  Being able to give so much during a time of such great need is amazing, and it’s something that I’m proud to be a part of.

The new “Prosperity Plan” outlined all the new ways to get paid by sharing Blu Frog Energy.  There are five, count ‘em, five ways to get paid for sharing (Wait, there are seven ways to get paid! Seven!)!  The most exciting part of the new Prosperity Plan is the up-front money that’s now possible.  I get 50% commission on new sales in the first month, and 40% in the second month!  That translates into what I like to call “stupid” money.  Full details are available here.  Cha-ching!

I got my hands on my first four cases of Blu Frog on Saturday evening.  I couldn’t wait to get it back to my hotel room and chilled so I could start gulping it down.  I didn’t make it back to my hotel room before I sold two cans to a guy standing outside of the hotel.  He asked me what I was carrying, so I told him that it’s a brand new energy drink that’s  great tasting and all-natural.  He shelled out for two cans on the spot!  When I say that Blu Frog sells itself, I speak from experience.

I’m back in Memphis now after that awesome whirlwind weekend in Texas, and I can’t wait to start sharing Blu Frog with everyone I know.  2009 is going to be an awesome year for Blu Frog, for TLC, and for myself.  Want to get involved?  Check out the FAQ to find out how.

I’m packing up my gear and getting ready to hit the road tomorrow to go to the Blu Frog launch in Fort Worth, TX.  I can’t tell you how excited I am about the launch of Blu Frog, and how pumped I am to be there in person when it happens!  Keep an eye on the blog this weekend for continuous Blu Frog launch updates.
