In his one-of-a-kind writing style, Mike Dillard brings the idea of 'Building on a Budget' to life for networkers who have struggled to build their MLM business the old way.

Will you be able to implement his suggested strategies with the level of success promised?

Before I answer, let's first get into addressing, "what IS Building on a Budget teaching you exactly?"

Building on a Budget outlines how the average network marketer can generate his or her own prospects list on a shoe-string budget and then attract those prospects to them (either by phone call, email, or just by leadership attraction whereby they want to work with you).

These are similar ideas shared in Dillard's book, Magnetic Sponsoring, and his more expensive MLM Traffic Formula course manual. What makes Building on a Budget different, is it focuses in on 5 Building on a Budget strategies and he gives some instruction on how to go about it.

The Limitations...

The challenge with Dillard's book is that while he does a fantastic job at selling you on the concepts, the majority of network marketers aren't going to fight through figuring out all the technical aspects of setting up their own marketing.

A book is limiting. It doesn't visually show someone exactly what to do.

Building on a Budget is a fantastic value for the cost. It successfully sells you on the idea and introduces you to some fantastic resources to get started.

But it won't take most people to the finish line.

In other words, most network marketers will be assisted with Dillard's 'Building on a Budget,' but they won't all be able to do what it aims to teach them unless they find more guidance.

How does Building on a Budget compare to other new generation Internet marketing training systems that are teaching these and other 'building on a budget' strategies?

As many network marketers are quickly learning, the concept of generating your own prospects list and creating additional cash-flow streams as you do it is too attractive to pass on. Still, most are figuring out that it's a challenge to set it all up correctly.

Of Course, There's a Learning Curve.

Mostly, it's technical.

Just getting to the right web sites and setting these up takes a lot of time when you're guessing your way through the details.

While Building on a Budget sells the idea, and gets you started in the right direction, you still have to boot up the computer and fight through the details of getting your accounts and content all linked up the way it should be.

Some new generation training systems have appeared on the scene recently to fill the gap for frustrated networkers who know they're never going back to the old ways of business building, but are finding it hard to connect all the Internet marketing dots.

This is where Marketing Merge has really stepped up.

It's the first step-by-step training tutorial site that literally walks you through everything, from setting up your account at the new site location, onto creating the content that will be found by prospects, onto doing the actual marketing so it gets found--and it's all done mouse click by mouse click so you set things up as you watch.

There is another similar training program from Renegade University, but it's focused more on those who were introduced to the Renegade Network Marketer and System, rather than on Dillard's stuff.

Still, many of Dillard's members (Magnetic Sponsoring, MLM Traffic Formula and Building on a Budget) have migrated into Renegade University, which is free, and then into the more advanced visual tutorials at Marketing Merge.

So with all these other options, is Building on a Budget worth the time and money?

I actually think that it is. It's a fantastic place to start if you get the book with these realistic expectations that it will do a great job at selling you on the idea (because it's a powerful way to build your business, no doubt), and it will introduce you to some fantastic locations as well as offer some great tips that will be helpful going forward. But you will still be left to do the work after reading the book.

And that's where you may want to find one of the new generation visual tutorial training systems to help take you to that next level.

One thing's for certain...

The new model of attraction marketing is where it's at and where it will continue going. Approach this realistically and you'll be attracting a lot of prospects your way with this building on a budget Internet strategy.
