Tips For Multilevel Marketing
A lot of Dabawenyos have started a networking business with the hope of making it big someday. Not just Dabawenyos though because even residents of other cities and even other countries are looking at the possibility of leaving their 8 to 5 jobs and go into the networking business fulltime.
Network marketing is a profitable business venture especially if you know how to market your products. It has made a lot of people independent and a lot richer both financially and experience-wise. But what if your close network of friends dry out? Where would that take you?
If you are into network marketing then the book "Guerrilla Multilevel Marketing" can be your best bet to financial freedom and business success. With a hundred guerilla tactics that are all low-cost, you now have a chance to grow your direct selling business. The best time to take a look at what the book has to offer is now since they are offering a free excerpt of the book at Network Marketing Leads.
If you are like most people, you started your direct selling business without the essential business and marketing background that will help you take your business to the next level. Hopefully, after reading this book, you will know the next steps to take once you have exhausted your warm market.

MV Doulos in Davao City?
It’s Christmas and guess who’s coming to town? Not Santa Claus but MV Doulos.
Most people are greatly familiar with the Titanic. MV Doulos, which was built two years after the Titanic, is acknowledged by the Guinness Book of World as the oldest ocean going passenger ship. But more than that, Doulos is known for bringing “knowledge, help and hope to the people of the world.”
I was lucky enough to have been on board MV Doulos when it docked at Davao City in March, 1990. That was the first and last visit of Doulos to Davao. It has been to Zamboanga and Cagayan de Oro at least twice and many times to Cebu, Batangas and Manila.
Doulos is in dry dock at Batangas from November 6 to 29 so no selling of books onboard. It creative staff however managed to set up an onshore book fair while the ship is undergoing repair and maintenance. It will be in Manila from November 29 to December 26 and Subic Bay from December 26 to January 15, 2008 and then off to Lae, Papua New Guinea on January 24, 2008.
MV Doulos
The name Doulos means servant in Greek and the volunteer service offered by its international crew is evident of this.
Doulos was built in 1914 and has sailed as a cruise ship, freight ship, and for the transport of immigrants. Its most recent mission of bringing books (more than 6,000 book titles on board) to the world has made it a byword among book lover the world over. Doulos also grabbed the headlines for having an all-volunteer crew of 350 people from all over the world. It used to be known as Medina, Franca C and Roma.
A Germany-based non-profit organization named Gute Bücher für Alle e.V.whih means “Good Books for All” bought the ship in 1977. Since then, Doulos has been visited by 20 million people and has called on 568 ports of call in over 103 countries. Over 13 million books have been purchased from the ship.
