THE WRAPS ARE OFF!
We've finally gotten the last of the details hammered out and we've unveiled MLMKnowhow.com. Now, instead of just message boards and a promise of things to come, you'll find a complete web site – with articles, a weekly poll, and a brand new classified advertising section. Go to the top of the forum (or any area on the site) and click some of the links to try them out.

CLASSIFIED ADS
One of the first things you'll want to do is place an ad in our classified advertising section. There is a small fee payable monthly, but it's less money than most local newspapers charge for a single classified ad, and the fee will help the MLMKnowhow.com remain a free, helpful resource for networking and gathering business-building ideas. You can get to the classifieds from any page on the site, or you can go there directly from this link:
http://www.mlmknowhow.com/classifieds

You'll find categories for advertising opportunities as well as categories for selling all types of products and services. We also have a jobs section for advertising employment or contract work. (No opportunity listings will be allowed in that section.)  Send your downline, friends, and relatives over to look too. The classifieds are open to anyone who wants to sell or buy products and services online.

TO PLACE AN AD in the classifieds, follow these steps:

Choose the Place an Ad link on the classifieds main page (http://www.mlmknowhow.com/classifieds).

Register for the classifieds section -- there will be a link on the right side of the page to let you do that.

Choose Place an Ad again after you have registered. You'll then be prompted to enter your ad and your credit card information.

Once you have placed your ad, you can go back an edit it or change it at any time during the time period you've paid for. If you want the ad to continue for more than the maximum time period (currently one month) you have to resubmit it.

OTHER ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES
A number of people have asked us about other advertising opportunities on the site. We've therefore published a rate card on the site. You'll find it at http://www.mlmknowhow.com/classifieds

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OR EMPLOYEE? (advertorial)
Is your business expanding? Are you thinking about getting someone to work for you as an Independent Contractor? Or, maybe you have a day job and your employer wants to convert you from employee status to independent contractor. Individuals frequently perform services for companies, non-profit organizations, individuals and others under a variety of different legal relationships. Whether the individual providing the services is classified as an employee or contractor is critical for a number of different reasons. Make sure you know the difference before the IRS sends you a bill. Here is a comprehensive article on a subject important to all business owners.

Note: this site is also a resource if you are looking for sample business agreements.

FEATURE ARTICLES
We are just starting to get all our feature articles reformatted for the web. We have some online now, and will be bringing you new articles weekly. These will cover all phases of starting and running network marketing and direct sales businesses as well as working at home and maximizing profits. Some of the features now available on the site explain how to get people to ask you for information about your business; how to make cold calls; how to build a profitable downline, and how to improve direct mail results. Find these and other articles here:

MESSAGE BOARD TIPS & QUESTION
Here's a quick tip for using the message boards. The best way to use these boards is to start new topic threads frequently rather than continuing one existing thread. That will keep the distance you have to scroll to find new messages short, but you have to log in and look for all new messages.

One alternative we have available to us is to reverse the order in which messages appear to visitors. So, instead of the having to scroll down past all messages you've already read to see the new ones, the newest message would be first. Then you'd have to scroll down to see previous messages. While that is convenient for repeat visitors, it may be more difficult for new visitors to follow. So, we'd like to hear from you. Please tell us on the message boards which way you'd prefer messages to appear.

GET PUBLISHED
Are you an expert in Direct Sales or Network Marketing? Do you have information to share that will be of interest to people in the industry in general? MLM Know-How will be accepting selected articles for publication on the site. Our policies here will be the same as on our Business Know-How® site: the articles must provide solid information that readers can use in their business or inspirational profiles. To be considered, articles must provide information that will benefit the reader -- we won't publish articles that do little other than say how lucky you are to finally find the right business or articles that do little other than solicit business. The guidelines and form for submitting articles to us are on our Business Know-How site at:
http://www.businessknowhow.com/newsletter/articleguidelines.htm.

YOUR FEEDBACK WANTED!
We hope you'll let us know what you think. Please tell us, too, what you would like to see us include on the site in the future. We are always interested in hearing your ideas and suggestions. You can send them along to Attard@businessknowhow.com.

NEWSLETTER ADVERTISING
We will be running ads from time to time in this newsletter.  However, ads will be limited in length and may not contain income claims, get rich quick claims, or specific health or nutrition claims.  If you would be interesting in advertising either in the newsletter or on the web, please contact mlmsales@businessknowhow.com
