This is the third installment of the Blogger appreciation week, found here.

I don’t know much about John Leonard of Master Networker’s MLM and Internet Marketing Blog for Professional Entrepreneurs other than what I have seen over the past two days checking out his blog. But I do know one thing for sure, he is a seller. Just combing through a few of his posts, I am almost tempted to sign up for some multi-level marketing programs. From a marketing standpoint, I should steal incorporate some of his techniques into my own blog.

John uses a lot of eye candy (words in different colors or in bold, not risky photos) to emphasize key phases and draw your attention to specific areas. Within the descriptions of products or different multi-level marketing programs, he is sure to state the credibility of the originator as well as the pros and some cons.

What I like the most:

The diversity of information on various different mlm marketing programs, tips and tricks. He has some good info on building up a list here.

Quick point:

I would like to see some more success and failure stories. I know with mlm, the potential to fail is pretty high from time and time, and I think sharing those experiences could be very beneficial to anyone who is interested in a particular mlm program.

Hats off to everyone who reads and contributes to this blog. As a show of appreciation I would love to mention with a short blurb every blog that wants to be acknowledged. So if that is you, drop me an email (josh@joshwhitford.com), leave me a message, send a quick note on the contact page or call me for those who already know my number. I will do a quick and short write up for any blog you want with a link.

Every now and then I like to give recognition and to give back to those who helped build up this blog, such as the supporters page. If you don’t see your name listed on the support page and would like it to be, send me a message for that as well. After all, you deserve it. So crack open a nice cold one, because this blog’s for you.
