sunspot horseshoe magnet big 150x150 What Do MLM and Magnets Have in Common?Over the years you probably have done some pretty crazy things to generate leads.  Most likely you have done everything from cold calling people in the phone book, leaving business cards in the self help books in the local bookstore, engaging in conversations with anyone with a heartbeat, attending every community social gathering, etc…etc…

While some of those methods might have worked, I am sure it was always short term and you found yourself having to consistently do the work to keep the leads coming in.  Over the course of time, it gets cumbersome and something has got to give.

It wasn’t until I learned how to leverage systems that allowed me to multiply my efforts, that I saw a huge change in my productivity as well as growth in business.

One of the things I realized is that I wasted a lot of time talking to people that I had no business talking to about business.  I realized that if I was going to move ahead in business, I would have to have a system in place to pre-qualify my prospects before I ever talked to them.  This is called sifting and sorting.

targeted mlm leads 150x150 MLM Leads That Convert: Quality is KeyMLM leads that convert are in huge demand. This article will explain the difference between buying MLM leads that often produce little or no return and creating quality laser-targeted MLM leads that convert like crazy.

Unreliable

Many network marketers buy MLM leads lists that are supposed to provide fresh quality leads. There are advertisers all over the internet claiming to offer the best leads. Unfortunately many of these so called fresh quality MLM lead companies cannot back up their claims. Recently one particular company was selling double opt-in leads. Double opt-in means the email address of the lead was verified to be a real email address. When running an email campaign to this lead list it was discovered that up to 25% of the leads were not double opt-in and in fact were fake leads. When you are spending money for leads you expect to get a lead that is real and worth contacting.

crayons 150x150 How Crayons Can Boost Your Closing RatesYesterday’s post was about how critical closing skills are. Today I want to help you with some concrete tips on closing. I know, you are probably wondering what crayons have to with being successful at closing. Well for your information, it is CRITICAL to your success in the network marketing industry.

You may have heard before that there are different personality types. And as a network marketer, YOU must be aware of them and be able to identify them quickly in order to make your prospecting phone time a highly converting time period where you sign up more distributors.

So here are the four colors of that you must learn and master. Once you do that, closing sales will be a cinch!

Yellow: Your yellow prospect is very open and indirect. That means if you ask them a question they at least will give you the answer, but are not likely to elaborate. They will give you what you ask for and not much more. In other words short and to the point. Yellows tend to be teachers, nurses, care-takers, etc. People who are very helpful and concerned with others. What makes the group happy is what makes them happy.

Do Your Closing Skills Suck?

Posted by: Andrea Kropp | Comments (0)

4210025 800x800 150x150 Do Your Closing Skills Suck?I will be the first to tell you how much I love our industry. But I can’t help but notice that many people still come into the game like it’s not serious enough to take time out to learn some essential skills.

At one of our last local live training meetings, I heard a very successful MLM entrepreneur say that our industry takes everyone, and how true that is. Medical schools don’t take everyone, colleges don’t take everyone, and McDonald’s doesn’t take everyone either who simply “wants” to start a franchise.

But for some reason, network marketing does. And as a result, people come in, with no training and expect miracles to happen…just not so.

So the one skill that in my opinion is more important than anything else, is the art of closing. See you can have all the leads in the world. But if you can’t close them, or sign them up, no money for you.

So the question of the hour is, how are YOUR closing skills? If they are great, then you should be signing people up left and right. If they need a little tweaking, then get with someone who you can speak with who can tighten you up! And if you don’t know how to close at all, then my friend, go get some training first!

Once everyone understands that millionaires in this industry are made by sealing the deal, and that you must learn how to do it properly, I think we can overall help more people to succeed and achieve their wildest dreams!

To your massive success,

14031890 512x683 150x150 5 MLM Advertising Techniques That WorkBuilding your MLM business can be a frustrating experience if you aren’t experienced or skilled in advertising.  When I got involved in the MLM profession, I didn’t know how to advertise at all and as a result I struggled.

When I finally discovered that proper use of MLM advertising was the key that would allow me to accomplish my dreams in the Network Marketing Profession, I had a period of time where I was experimenting with different tactics.  Some of them worked, and continue to work today, and some of them I decided to never spend one ounce of energy on, ever again – and neither should you.

First off, let me share with you what you SHOULD NOT do.

Don’t use ANY ‘Blackhat’ MLM advertising tactics, ever.  The term ‘Black Hat’ refers to any attempt on the part of the marketer to ‘trick’ search engines or websites into thinking that you are something you’re not in an attempt to subversively generate traffic for your MLM business.

This is not only irritating for the thousands of people who click on pages that are supposed to have one thing and have another, but it is frustrating as a marketer to constantly be changing the search engines absolutely HATE blackhat MLM advertising.  Why do they hate it?  Because it is irritating.  Don’t you think?

A great example of ‘blackhat’ internet advertising is trying to ‘trick’ craigslist into accepting your home business ads in the Jobs section at craigslist.  Because there is so much subversive MLM advertising in the Jobs section at craigslist (MLM is not a job), it is a pain for even a legitimate company to post their ad to the Jobs section.  Plus, blackhat tactics never work for very long.

For a time, I thought that I could build a business through ‘black hat’ strategies.  The problem was, I realized it was unethical and couldn’t continue doing it after I saw the reasons why the search engines hated it.  Once I realized that, I discovered that the only way to build a business long term is through honesty, openness, and positive energy.

So what are some MLM advertising techniques that work?  Here I have listed some ‘White Hat’ SEO friendly MLM advertising techniques that can immediately help you in your business, listed in order of personal favoritism:

1.  Article Marketing – My absolute favorite way of marketing online is Article Marketing.  Using Article Marketing as your primary SEO MLM Advertising tactic will pay off big in the long run if you stick with it.  I have approximately 25% of the people who read my articles click through to my website, and ALL of that traffic is FREE.  Not only is it free, but once you create traffic with article marketing, the traffic is permanently there.  (This article you’re reading is a great example).  Articles gradually increase natural search engine traffic to your website, as well as increase your website ranking over time.  Try it.  You’ll love it if you love to write.

2.  Blogging – Search engines LOVE blogs!  If you don’t have a business blog – start one today.  Search engines love blogs for a good reason – it is because PEOPLE love blogs.  This allows you to target keyword phrases, dominate market niches, and take your MLM advertising to a personal, human level.  That being said, however, learn how to do a blog properly.  Study some of the best blogs out there and apply what you see in your own business – it will give you great results over time.

3.  Video Marketing – It’s hard to get a clear picture on exactly how much online traffic is directed towards video, but current estimates are anywhere around 30%-50% of ALL BANDWITH is video from services like YouTube, Viddler, and others.  The fastest way to dominate niche keywords online is to use video services to DOMINATE MLM advertising for your company.  The cool thing?  Video Marketing is free.  Video marketing can also be a huge pain in the butt, though, especially if you’re camera shy.  I give about 20% of my marketing effort to video marketing, and it brings me some great leads.

4.  Social Networking – The HOTTEST MLM advertising tactics this year are all built around social marketing, through social networking sites like Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and others.  It used to be that people would actually meet each other… Not any more – they unite on Facebook.  Seriously, Social Networking is the wave of the future and there are plenty of ways to generate 20-50 leads per day just using Social Media MLM advertising. 

5.  PPC – Pay Per Click advertising is the most efficient paid MLM advertising technique of all time.  It lets you target THE EXACT people that you are looking for, while they are searching for terms that YOU SELECT.  If you’re putting money in newspaper ads, stop it!  Put that money in Google Adwords – it will be MUCH better spent over the long haul.  PPC is the FASTEST strategy to generate leads, but it is also the most expensive.  Don’t attempt google adwords without first receiving training on how to do it properly.  Also, I prefer other methods.  That being said, most of the industry leaders use PPC aggressively to generate a significant amount of leads through google adwords. They have the cash flow to throw at it.  wouldn’t recommend it to someone new, but you should phase it in as you start generating positive cash flow in your business.

So where should you start?  First, you need a website that is attractive, simple, and branded with your own personal message.  Then, you need to pick ONE marketing strategy and DOMINATE that strategy.  FOCUS 100% of your attention on that strategy and work at it until you are generating 10 or more leads per day.  Then pick another strategy.

If you want to just cut through all of the MLM bullcrap that costs you money and doesn’t produce results, simply fill in your name, email, and phone number in the right sidebar of this page to get access to a training that will teach you how to success in your MLM business.

4284698 800x800 150x150 How To Create An Online MLM Business That Spreads Like A WildfireIf you want to succeed in your online MLM business, it’s important that you get started with the right mindset and understanding. Over the last couple years, I’ve seen thousands of would be entrepreneurs come into the world of Network Marketing with big hopes and dreams, only to be frustrated and quit in their first 30-60 days.

The first thing that you’ve got to have on your mind if you want to succeed in your business is that you have to decide that absolutely no matter what happens you will never ever quit. If you were going to medical school for the next 10 years of your life would you invest $300,000 into your education and then quit? I know that seems like a bit of a stretch as a comparison, but it’s the same concept. You’ve got to decide to stick with this industry no matter what. Once you’ve decided, it’s no longer a matter of IF you’re going to succeed, it’s a matter of when.

There are more than 60 years of statistics in the Network Marketing profession that prove that if you stick with one company for 10 years or more, actively participating in company events and continuously promoting your business that you have more than a 95% likelihood of earning a significant six figure annual income. However, most people quit before they ever start. So decide.

Second, you’ve got to focus. If you’ve decided on building a particular company, you’ve got to put the blinders on and no matter what anyone else in the world says, you’ve got to focus on your company and stay consistent. People in network marketing are serial entrepreneurs, and often jump from company to company before they ever gain any real traction. If you want to build significant passive wealth, it at least makes sense to pursue ONE company only until you’ve gained the results and residual income that you’re looking for.

Third, you’ve got to get educated. If you want to build your business on the internet, you had sure better learn how to do it in a cost effective, proficient manner. If you’re going to do PPC advertising, become a MASTER at PPC. If you’re going to do article marketing, become a MASTER at creating compelling content. Get educated. I meet people all the time that will shell out $100 a month for six months on autoship products, but will not invest in a training course, a book or a marketing tool for half that amount. Network marketing is a business which is attracting more and more corporate professionals. Think you can succeed without an MLM-specific education? Think again.

Fourth, you’ve got to have passion. Look, there are a lot of great companies out there to work but does your company give you PASSION? If not, find one that does, and for heaven’s sake, STICK WITH IT. Want to learn the step by step, proven formula for DOMINATING the internet? CLICK HERE and I’ll show you, step by step how to TAKEOVER your MLM company online.

email marketing 150x150 Getting Started Promoting MLM and Affiliate Products via Email MarketingE-mail marketing is one of numerous options (videos, articles, blogging, social media) to get started marketing online. The appeal of email marketing is that the content creation requirement is much lower than for blogging, articles or videos. A catchy title, and clear value proposition and a call to action and email marketing begins generating traffic to your website. How to write good email copy is beyond the scope of this post. Here we consider the question …who do I send my emails to?

Number one – Do not spam. Always send your messages only to people who have opted-into the list and make it clear how to unsubscribe. So where does that leave the brand new person with no opt-in list to send to?

Fortunately there are several existing lists with tens of thousands of subscribers that you can start emailing (with permission) as early as today. Three of these are found at ListJoe.com, ViralHosts.com and ViralURL.com. The rest of this post gives you an introduction to what to expect and how to maximize your return from these services.

funnel 150x150 Online Network Marketing Lead Generation Tip #1 – Have a Compelling Capture PageThe heart of your online marketing program and key to growing your subscriber base are your capture pages. Make a good first impression. Since online network marketing lead generation is first and foremost a about numbers, you must maximize your website traffic and the conversion of traffic into email list subscriptions. The key to this is having a compelling capture page.

Effective capture pages that generate high numbers of online network marketing leads typically offer a preview, sneak peak or trial version of the product or service you are marketing. Very few people will sign up without some type of free offer or reason for giving you their email. Your free offer, web seminar, e-book or trial version of a paid software is the incentive that will make the visitor willing to provide their personal information. They’re basically giving you permission to market to them further in exchange for letting them access to more comprehensive information.

Building your own blog as well as interacting with other third party blog websites is a great way to build name awareness, expert credentials and to produce consistent traffic and online network marketing leads. You should use your blog as your central or “hub” website where you keep your thoughts, tips, mentoring and strategies for easy access by your email list and new traffic. Your blog also is linked to all of your lead capture pages and vice versa.

Your online network marketing business and generation of leads depends on the quality of your blog and outreach program.Put aside set times on your schedule where you will update and release new entries to the public, and spend dedicated time reading and following other blog websites and commenting on the posts. If you become a frequent commenter, you’ll see your own follower list begin to grow as people begin to appreciate your contributions and opinions, become aware of your name and begin to link back to your website.

Here’s some free advice and general guidelines you should follow when building and maintaining your blog:
