If you're checking out this review, chances are you're looking for information on Advocare and you're thinking about joining the company. Before you do, I want to encourage you to read this simple review so that you can make an educated decision about the company and opportunity. In this review, I'll go over some details about the company and share how you can dramatically increase your chances of success should you join.
First of all, let's go over some information on the company. Advocare is a Texas-based health and wellness company that sells various nutrition products through a network marketing business model. The company was started in 2003 by the late Charlie Ragus. Currently, the company is being led by CEO and President Richard Wright. Wright has spent many years and experienced success in both marketing and politics. In addition, the company is a proud member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), which gives them a tremendous amount of credibility, as only the most reputable companies are allowed to be members.
As far as their products go, Advocare backs up their products with science and research. The Advocare Scientific and Medical Advisory Board continuously tests their products to ensure the highest quality possible. Advocare markets 5 different lines of products. The first one is called Trim, which is a line of weight management products. The second line is called Active, which is a line of energy products. The third line is called Well, which is a line of vitamin supplements. The fourth line is called Performance Elite, which is an advanced nutrition line made for athletes. And the last line is called Definite Difference, which is a line of skin care products. All in all, the product lines look very impressive, especially since there are so many third party documents and testimonials on the company website that validate and document their effectiveness. It also doesn't hurt that many top professional athletes including NFL superstar and 2004 Superbowl MVP Drew Brees use and endorse the products..
As far as their business opportunity goes, you can join the company by paying an initial start-up, then maintaining a monthly autoship order. The compensation plan pays out 5 different ways including retail profits, wholesale commissions, team overrides, leadership bonuses and company incentives, which include trips and special pay-period bonuses. The fact that reps can make upfront income, as well as back-end residual income, is great news for people who want to start an Advocare home business. Overall, the compensation is fair and, for the right person, Advocare can be a lucrative business venture.
In closing, Advocare is a good company with a solid business opportunity. They have a strong corporate team, great products and a generous compensation plan. With that said, it's important for you to know that while you can certainly build an Advocare business by approaching your friends and family, you can significantly increase your chances of success by combining your offline efforts with generating leads online. With the economy spiraling downwards, there are millions of people on the internet that are looking for a home based business they can join. By positioning yourself in front of them, it's not hard to see why it would be possible to generate 20-30+ leads a day for your business.
My suggestion is that you use a self branding attraction marketing system and learn the proper marketing techniques that will allow you to generate leads at will. If you can successfully do that, and partner with an experienced and documented leader, you can very well be on your way to building a solid business for yourself and your family.

Internet Market Course - 5 Tips on List Building Communication: How to Keep Your List by Matt Jonnathon
List building is an important component of a good Internet Marketing Strategy. But the truth of the matter is, although generating a list may not be a menial task, keeping it is a greater challenge. This is a practical truth especially in the Internet Marketing niche, where Marketers simply opt in to get what they want and swiftly opt out if they don't find any more value.
Following are some tips on how to maintain and build your list over time.
1. Provide helpful information
Visitors who come to your website and opt-in through your web form for one practical reason only: they are looking for something beneficial to them. If you are offering giveaways, they should be of quality values. To keep your list active, you need to constantly provide useful information or your list members will look elsewhere.
2. Don't sell right away
This is a controversial approach, so I would say it is subjective and dependent on the niche you are in. Most Marketers in the Internet Marketing niche would do the selling on the next email, if not right away. This is because people in the Internet Marketing niche work on a fast pace. Being season Marketers, they don't have time to browse through unnecessary information, so you need to get your message and products across quickly. In most cases, either they buy or they say bye to your list.
In all other niches however, I would not recommend to sell right away because you want to build a relationship with your list, especially if your website is a blog. Your members are valuable assets to leave comments on your blogs and help to generate more traffic which equates to money in the long run. Treat your members as your beloved customers.
3. Discuss a problem and provide a solution with a paid product
This is where you can value add. Let's say you run a Parenting website and visitors opt-in because you offer some potty training tips. You also know that many parents are struggling to have their kids consume more greens. Hence you may write a newsletter or a post to offer some tips and then direct them to a paid product from Clickbank or Amazon. In helping them to solve a problem, you get a decent commission in return, so why not?
You can repeat this process many times over as long as you can identify the problems and provide the solutions.
4. Engage your list with calls to action
Ever heard that "Even Eagles need a push"? Very few of us take immediate actions to resolve problems in our lives. This is human nature. Personally, I headed to the clinic only after my perpetual back pain became intolerable. Honestly, I regretted not seeing the doctor earlier.
You need to share the consequences with your members for not taking the necessary actions to resolve the problem at hand. Let them know that prevention is better than cure. You may have to send them a couple of reminders before they take any action, but don't overdo it.
5. Be persistent
This is one of the most important attributes you need to possess. Constantly engage with your list, or be prepared to lose them. There is no excuse. Put a system in place using Autoresponders like AWeber or GetResponse so you may even enjoy your week long holiday with peace of mind.
It would be foolish (and costly) to keep buying tires for your vehicle instead of learning how to maintain them for the long journey ahead.
