While banner advertising is not something I use 100% if the time to build my list it is a tool that you should always have handy if the right place comes around to plug them in. They are great for use on your blogs and web pages, but sometimes there are programs that come around that it's nice to have your own banner ad to plug in.
This is something that really is essential to online success. Using banner ads may not be the first thing you teach someone on your team but it is definitely something you will want to have in your arsenal. There are some desktop banner creators you can get that are not that expensive. I got mine for less than $50. If you are not ready to take that leap with banner advertising there are some great places online to create banner ads yourself for free. My favorite place for that is http://www.bannerbreak.com To show you how simple it is to do here are some examples of three that I have made within about 20 min...so it's not that hard.

Mark Yarnell is a best selling author and success coach and mentor in the home based business industry. He has some great motivational writing. Here are some great tips.
5 of Mark Yarnell's Success Secrets
1. Turn off your TV, computer, cell phone and text messaging and spend 2 hours a day talking to real people, either in person or through a land line.
2. Make a five-year commitment to your company and never look at any other deal. Consider all other Networking opportunities a waste of your time at this point.
3. Begin reading one non-fiction bestseller each month in any field of your own personal interest.
4. Get out of all meaningless business relationships with those who drag you down with negativity or sociopathic behavior.
5. Do not attend any more rah! rah! meetings IF you're 100% convinced that they are a waste of your time and money. Spend your time recruiting and retailing.

Review Of The New Plug Into Prospects System
The Plug Into Prospects system entered pre-launch phase June 14, 2010. With the launch coming in 3 days. The Plug Into Prospects system is an online prospecting system that is perfect for any home based business owner. It is a generic system so it can be used for any home business opportunity and is a great funded proposal focused around generating prospects for your primary business.
Plug Into Prospects offers quite a few perks. I'll start with the focus most marketers want to know about. Compensation. The system offers a well rounded plan. The income you generate does depend on your membership level though. Free members do not have the ability to generate the income that paid members do. There are three ways to get paid.
1. 2 X 12 Forced Matrix (no sponsoring required to get paid)
2. Platinum Leaders Bonus Pool
3. $4 For Each Personally Sponsored Member
There are other perks to the system as well. Plug Into Prospects offers the ability for you to earn what are called Adpoints within the system. Both free and paid members can use these points to advertise your own business within the system. You can receive these points for logging into the system, viewing and/or participating in advertisements within the system and referring new members. This is a great option to advertise your own business or opportunity.
There are a couple of things about Plug Into Prospects that make it easier for leaders to use. My favorite is something you rarely find in a funded proposal system. The ability to plug your own auto responder code into your capture pages AND your own video, audio or picture. Whatever you currently use for your capture pages. This really allows you to continue to build your list and brand yourself online while partnering with a system. You can use up to 6 capture pages as well.
There are some functions in the system already working. The adcredit functions are coming in each day. However, there are some functions that are now available until the system launches such as the capture page features. In the meantime you may want to use your own splash page to promote it as you should do with any system. Never stop list building! All in all it looks like a great system that focuses on prospect generation which is what any online marketer focuses on. It gives you the ability to learn and earn with one on one training.
