There’s no such thing as a free lunch. So make sure you scoff at anyone who tells you something is ?free.? If you receive traffic from some place and it costs nothing, but you had to spend 300 hours to generate it, was it free? No, at worst, you could have earned minimum wage for those 300 hours. That is—at worst—it cost you 300 hours multiplied by minimum wage.

At best, you could have been doing something productive with your business that would have earned you ten times more than minimum wage during each of those hours. So don’t listen to this ?free traffic generation? nonsense. Even traffic that comes from search engines has a cost – and that’s your time.

Now, with that caveat in mind, there is such thing as relatively cheaper traffic. If it takes you very little time to optimize your search for the search engines—and the result is considerable ?organic? search engine traffic—well, great; you should generate traffic through search engine optimization.

In general, traffic that comes from search engine optimization does actually turn out to be quite cheap. In exchange for the time it takes to create some relevant content, use the proper tags, and exchange a few links, you could get a steady flow of several hundred visitors per day to your site.

If your wage is the only cost, this will be relatively cheap in comparison to pay per click traffic, which could cost you several dollars per visitor. Other than simply being cheap, organic search engine traffic is also good for a number of other reasons. One obvious reason is that you do not have to spend time monitoring the flow of organic SEO traffic for fear that you will exceed your budget.

With PPC, you have to constantly check your Adwords account and other PPC accounts to determine how well your ads are performing. This is not so with organic search engine traffic. And the less time you spend thinking and actually generating traffic, the more you profit per visitor. If you spend your whole day watching statistics and you think you’re in profit – then you’re not adding your own wage to the equation.

Another major benefit to using organic search engine traffic is that it tends to convert better. In fact, many experts would argue that it converts much better than links from ?sponsored? sections – even if they are on a search engine.

Perhaps two of the most important traits you can develop as a network marketer are leadership ability and charisma. In this specific context, I call them “habits” because they are something you will want to repeatedly do until you feel as if you have no choice but to do them. Charisma is not something easily attained nor is it any one thing, as many people incorrectly categorize it.

Rather, you can be surly and loud mouthed, but still have charisma. Likewise, you can be awkward or unconventional and still have charisma. Being charismatic more importantly involves being confident in the type of person you are and then being able to repeatedly and consistently convey that image to members in your network.

If you can do this clearly and boldly, people will want to follow you, regardless of your personality. This is where our next important habit comes in leadership ability, which goes hand in hand with charisma.

If you've developed charisma, people now probably want to follow you the only question is where you will lead them. Do you feel confident telling them how to replicate your success? Do you feel confident telling them to do something you haven't done, but know will work? Are you decisive?

All of these things are important components of leadership ability. Without them, you may be able to attract people to become members of your network, but you will be unable to lead them to anything other than ruin, which doesn't help anyone involved neither them nor you.

So keep this in mind when you are trying to develop new skills be self confident and build your network around your own personality. Don't feel like you have to be constrained to work within a given image of what is conventional or acceptable. Rather, create a personality that attracts marketers and then lead them with clear, well thought out decisions.

Edmund Jacobson created a practice known as Progressive Relaxation back in the 1920s. Jacobson reasoned that since tension accompanies anxiety, one might be able to reduce anxiety by learning to relax the tension.

You could, in other words, reduce your psychological tension by reducing your physical tension. It was a revolutionary idea at the time. Jacobson thought that muscular tension might even cause anxiety and that contracted, tight muscles were actually at the root of many emotional problems, not merely a by-product of them.

By careful training, he helped people learn to voluntarily relax certain muscles in their body, and sure enough, it greatly reduced their anxiety symptoms, even for people who had a serious anxiety disorder. He found the procedure effective with ulcers, insomnia, and hypertension too.

Progressive Relaxation is still greatly respected and widely practiced by therapists today. References to the practice are strewn throughout the literature on anxiety. Why? Because it is simple and it works.

The procedure teaches you to relax your muscles through a two-step process. First you deliberately apply tension to certain muscle groups, and then you stop the tension and turn your attention to noticing how the muscles relax as the tension flows away.

Through repetitive practice you quickly learn to recognize—and distinguish—the associated feelings of a tensed muscle and a completely relaxed muscle. With this simple knowledge, you can then induce physical muscular relaxation at the first signs of the tension that accompanies anxiety. And with physical relaxation comes mental calmness—in any situation.

In Progressive Relaxation, first you learn to relax your muscles lying down with your eyes closed, but the ultimate goal is to learn to relax throughout the day while you're working, walking, talking, eating, etc.

If you would like to use this method, you don't need any training to begin. Right now, locate one muscle in your body that is tensing for no good reason. Relax that muscle. It's as simple as that. Get in the habit of doing that relatively often, and a general calmness will slowly develop in your life. You'll feel better.

A good way to get in the habit of relaxing muscles regularly is to do it at certain routine times of the day. Every time you get behind the wheel of your car, for example. Every time you sit down at your desk. Every time you step into the shower. Choose one place for now and concentrate on it until it becomes habitual. Then add another place. This way you can make it a habit to check your body for unnecessary muscular tension and relax it.
