Network Marketing has change so much over the years.  Throwing house parties, holding hotel meetings, or going up to strangers in the shopping malls is no longer considered the norm.   Network Marketers are now capitalizing on the use of the internet to build their business.  It is so important to stand out in this industry and brand yourself. 

It is very important to not promote your business replicated website and not build your business.  People do not care about your business, they care about you.  People do not join your business, they join you.  People only join people who they can trust and who can offer them value. 

If you have come across my page you are probably a struggling network marketer.  You are barely getting leads and actually sponsoring someone seems like a dream.  97% of Network Marketers fail and are never able to achieve a full time income.  Are you one of the 97% who listen to their upline?   Are you struggling to get leads and get business builders to join your team?  Are you still promoting a replicated company website?  How is that working for you?   It must not be that great, because you are here.  You want to know more about MLM Lead System Pro and what it can do for your business. 

If you ever promoted a replicated website; you will know that you are not getting people to sign up and there is no way to capitalize on the people who may be interested in your business.  People are interested in you and what you do.  People join people that they trust and who are somewhat successful.  A company website is not promoting you as the leader.  People do not care about your business; they care about you.  If you are one of those network marketers who are still promoting your business, PLEASE STOP NOW!

Now the million dollar question is how to I get people to join my business if I do not promote my business?  It’s simple, start promoting You Inc. and not Company Inc.   People are interested in you and only do business with people they trust.  That is why MLM Lead System Pro was born.

According to wikipedia, viral marketing refers to marketing techniques that uses pre-existing social networks to produce an increase in brand awareness and sales. In other words word-of-the-mouth enhance by the world wide web. One example of a success ful viral marketing strategy used was when Hotmail placed a message at the bottom of their users emails advertising their own business.
There are a lot of social networks that you can use to set up your own viral marketing campaign. (Did I mention this is free advertisement!)

FACEBOOK

Facebook is the largest social networking site recently surpassing Myspace. Facebook is not just for students in highschool or college anymore. A lot of professionals and businesses are on facebook. Facebook currently has over 175 million active users. In the business world; Facebook has over 175 million leads. Registering an account with Facebook is simple, easy, and free. Some tips to get friends on Facebook who are in the same industry as you is to go follow the leader. Find the leader in your industry and go be friends with them. Then be friends with the people who are friends with your leader. Another tip is to go to the group forum; and look for a group that is focus on the industry you are in. For example, if you are a network marketer, type MLM in the search box. Click on the groups that are MLM focus and go be friends with them.

MYSPACE

Myspace is the second largest networking site. Creating a myspace page is a good way to boost your business. With myspace, you have more control over your page layout. You would want your page to be professional and inviting. There are some services that can create your webpage for a small fee. One site I found helpful to help anyone who may be challenge in placing html in your profile is http://www.nvu.com.

How to find friends on myspace. One good service to use to find friends on myspace is http://www.friendblasterpro.com. You can either use the free demo or purchase the product starting at $29. I search for people who are interested in networking. Also look at the last date the person has been log in to their account. You would want someone who is active. You can also go look at the person profile. You can tell a lot about that individual by looking at their myspace page.

TWITTER

Twitter is the third largest social networking site. Twitter has over 4.5 million leads and is growing rapidly. Users can send tweets of up to 140 characters answering the simple question -“what are you doing?” How to master Twitter and get the most out of it is another lesson in itself. One technique to get followers is to follow the leader. Follow the leader that is in your industry. After you go follow the leader go follow who follow the leader. These are your leads. Create relationships with your followers. If you have 10,000 followers; but do not converse with any of them. What good would that do for your business?

Viral marketing or buzz marketing can create unlimited free leads for your business if you use the correct strategy.

Lets recap from what we learned from my last blog. You do not have to spend a lot of money to brand yourself. You can work smart and not hard. Social networks will always be one of the cheapest methods to create an image for yourself. Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter are the three largest social networks. Did I mention all of these sites are free. Now you have your Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter profile all set up.

The first thing you need to do is update your Bio. Whether you are new in this business or just starting out; your bio is important. Your Bio represents you. This is a people’s business. People do not join businesses, they join people. Think about what made you sign up for the business you in. Was it the business that sold you; or the person giving you the presentation? Do you get my point? Your bio has to be professional and inviting. Now it is time to get acquainted with your friends. You have a new friend on your profile. What do you say to them?

Rule #1 Do not sale your business first?

People join people and not your business. I know I said this already, but it is important. Do not scare your friends away by presenting your business opportunity before you create a relationship with your friends. Show your new friends you have an active interest in their lives and what they are about. Leave your new friends a wall posts thanking them for joining your circle of friends.

Rule #2 Show an interest in your friends lives.

Ask your friends about their business and how is it going for them. Offer your friends any value you can give them. If you have no value to offer, go get some. Your education does not stop after you finish highschool or college. Everyday you should be increasing your value. You have to lead by example. If you do not have any value to offer anyone, why should they follow you. It is amazing the way the law of attraction works. If you are not attracting the people you would like to attract; examine yourself. We attract after our own kind.

Rule #3 Pick up the check

People do not like to be sold. By creating a relationship with your friends; your friends will want to know what business you are in. Your friends will ask you what exactly you do. This is the time to tell your friends about your business. Do not be too pushy. Your friends will come to you with credit card in hand. They will want to follow you; because you posistion yourself as a leader and also created a relationship with them. Remember people do not like to be sold; make them think that it was their idea.

By following these techniques; you will never have to chase after family and friends again. You don’t have to worry about your family not invititing you to the family reunion. People will want to be in business with you; because they believe in you and your authority. If you want to be position as a leader; start hanging around other leaders and imitate them. Walking in your new skin will feel funny at first; but do not stop. Repetition and diligence will pay off to he who does not quit.

Thank you for reading my blog. Look out for the next one.

Being an internet marketer can be frustrating if you lack the leadership skills, mindset, and upline support to succeed in this industry.  I am currently reviewing Mike Dillard’s Blackbelt Recruiting series.  I wanted to share with you some info I have learned.  Of course if you would like to really educate yourself on this subject; you will have to get it in its entirety.

http://www.lakishacopeland.com/Recommends/BlackbeltRecruiting

It is a well known fact; no matter how good you are 95% of people are going to say no to your primary opportunity.  In order to sponsor a lot of people; you will have to talk to a lot of people.  It is important to increase the number of people you talk to.  Do not get frustrated; this is part of the process.  Do not care if a person joins your primary opportunity or not.  Once you get over the emotions; your chances for succeeding is greater.  Remember the four S W’s (some will, some won’t, so what, some is always waiting). 

Another important step a lot of people avoid is simply taking action.  We take so much time getting ready to get ready; that we simply do not put into action what we have learned.  Trust and believe in yourself; if you do not believe in yourself; why should anyone else believe in you.  People follow people who they trust and have a leadership quality about them.  Again we go back to the law of attraction.  We attract after our own kind.

Do not try to sale your prospects.  Please if you do not take heed to anything else remember this. People do not like to be sold.  Do not be pushy salesmen when you are dealing with your prospects.  You are coming off as desperate to your prospects.   How would you feel if every minute; of everyday someone is throwing their opportunity down your throat?  If someone wants to know about your business; they will ask you.  You do not have to keep reminding them what it is that you do.  This is a sure way to scare your prospects away.  One technique you should use on your leads; is the interviewing technique.  Let your prospects qualify themselves for your business.  Everyone is not cut out for this business.  You should not be sponsoring people just to get a check.  Ask your prospect’s what is there why and what is going to drive them.  What is going to keep them going when they do not see results right away?

You can get people to join your team even if you are new.  If you are new make sure you get to know who your upline is.  Get to know who is who in your business.  Three-way call your prospects with your upline help.  If they are not helpful; get to know someone who is successful in this business; and ask them to be your mentor.  When you call your prospects; you should be the one asking the questions.  The person who ask the all the questions, has control over the conversation.  You should be in control of the conversation at all times.  It doesn’t not matter if you just join your business today or 3 years ago; you are the expert.  You know more about your business than they do.  Have confidence in yourself.  Demonstrate power and leadership when you are talking to your prospects on the phone. 
To sum it up, if you want to sponsor a lot of people in a month:

Set your goals

Take massive action

Talk to a lot of people

Believe in what you are doing

Educate yourself

Get the course for yourself in its entirety.  If you are not willing to invest in yourself; no one else will.  I don’t mind the money that I invest in my education, because I know it is going to help me in the long run.

Most people do not like being sold and they do not like being told what to do.  Go back to your teenage days.  Do you remember the times when you and your parents bump heads?  What was always the main issue between you and your parents?  You didn’t like to be told what to do.  You wanted to be the boss of your own world.  This same concept works in business.  People do not like to be sold and they do not like to be told what to do.

I know what you are thinking.  If I cannot tell people about my business and if people do not like to be sold; how do I get them to join my business?  Simply make them think that it was their idea.  As long as they think they made this choice on their own; they will join your business. 

People like to flock around people who have some level of success and some level of status.  We see this trend in “Hollywood” everyday.  People go crazy just to get a picture, look, or something that belong to a celebrity.  Celebrities are constantly hounded by crazy fans and the paparazzi.  Why?  Because they have some level of success and some level of status, based on what people think they know about them.  

Once you start branding yourself as a leader and as an expert.  People will flock to you and they will want to get to know you.  When you learn to have some posture; people will want to be in your inner circle.  Trust is also another important key in being a leader.  People need to know that they can trust you.  So many people have gotten burned in this industry.  People were promised things when they signed up and they only learned that their sponsor wasn’t anywhere to be found.  They were left in an unknown world; and were told they will have to learn things on their own.  There have been a lot of tears and lost families in this business.  People often mistake a legitimate mlm business to be a pyramid.  Why? Because it seems that the top earners continue to get richer and their downline continue to get poorer.  There is a major lack of training and leadership roles from people’s upline. 

The only way to gain a person’s trust is to be yourself.  Do not try to be something that you are not; this is easy detected.  In order to be a leader or an expert, you have to offer value.  It doesn’t matter if you never made money in this industry and it doesn’t matter if today is your first day.  This is your company, and you know more about your company than your prospect.  Have some posture and be personable in order for people to relate to you.  Tell your story to your prospects.  Let them know that you have been in their shoes and that you are tangible. 

Here are some key aspects to all leaders

·         They offer true value and are willing to help everyone.

·         They respect themselves and they also respect their body.

·         They have positive attitude and they radiate positive energy.

·         They are willing to step outside of the norm for what is right.

·         They take a stand when no one else will.

If you want to sponsor a lot of people; start being a leader.  Do not wait for someone else to do; you go do it.  If it is going to be, it is up to me.  If you are not willing to invest in yourself; why should someone else invest in you?  I do not mind buying self-help books, tapes, and DVD’s; because I know it is going to help me in the long run. 

To sum it up, be that person that people are looking for.  Be the person that children can look up too and want to be like when they grow older.
