Networks. Perhaps you’ve heard people, TV commercials or magazine ads throwing that term around. And then there are all those companies out there that “do something” with networks: Nortel, Novell, Cisco … but the questions still remains for the majority of the non-technical population: Um, what exactly is a network, anyway?

Let’s take the big topic of networking and break it up into little, understandable pieces.

First, we need a layperson’s definition. A network is just two or more computers that are linked so that they can exchange files or share resources such as printers. That’s it.  Read more...

Online Network Marketing is inevitable for all networkers. Old model offline techniques are ‘dead.’ The internet evolution and revolution in marketing capability cannot be ignored!

Going Online: The Network Marketing Shift

The beginning of ‘the shift’ to online network marketing was when internet marketers started to be profitable online. That was from 1996, but in 2000 online advertising got a big boost by the introduction of Google Adwords.

Change: To A Total Online Business

Changing to network marketing online involves having your own website, which you develop into a website business. Your website should be information intense. A place where you pre-sell your site-visitors on your website theme. That theme should be related to your network marketing product. The website must be your own… not company controlled.

The benefits of completing a network audit on your computer network are numerous. Not only does it help keep your computer network at optimal condition through analyzing power consumption, needed equipment upgrades or security issues, but can help establish an asset base and future cash flow needs for equipment and office space planning.
