8 MLM List Building Steps That Work

8 MLM List Building Steps That Work

list.jpgWe all know that money is in the list, this is no different in MLM. I think you realize by now that unless you market your MLM business not much will happen. With the traditional old style sponsoring methods, you won’t get far, unless you are VERY good at chatting people up and selling ice to Eskimos. There are ways to build your MLM list effectively. Once these leads are in your back office you have legal rights to market to them as you see fit. But please remember that balance is the key here as well. You don’t want to hassle them with too many messages and product plugs. I have composed a list of 8 steps for MLM list building.

1. Add an opt in box to every page on your website and make it attractive, visible and easy to use.

2. Link to your archive so potential prospects can preview what ther are getting in to, keep them on your site if you can.

3. Display your Privacy Policy in a prominent position on your site. It helps to build trust in you.

4. Trade your services with others that might compliment your products. Help each other to build your respective business by placing links on your site to the other persons services.

5. Write a newsletter and send it to your list in regular intervals. You can also register your newsletter with online directories geared toward this genre. It will help to bring further traffic via your back link.

6. Give your opt in subscribers something for free. People love freebies and they might feel more inclined to sign up with you. You could use free reports, ebooks or even software. This will also help to brand you as the expert in that particualr field.

7. Use branding to stand apart from everyone else. Just be sure to stick to your MLM’s rules and regulations.

8. Ask for referrals through your newsletters and customers. You might be surprised what might happen if you do.

Building your list should be one of your top priorities whilst marketing your MLM business. It will guarantee you with an ever increasing stream of hungry prospects and will help you to build your business on autopilot.

Have a great week

What are people looking for in Social Networking?

What are people looking for in Social Networking?



We are online for some reason, needing something. I am learning how to tap into that using my 3 online businesses that I have to create content that draws in people that are looking to learn and inspire others to learn. Why we join social networking, how we use social networking, and whats the purpose of a social network in our lives anyway? What exactly why we use social networking, and how will social networking enhance our lives.

This is what I found out.

1. Friendship (to reduce loneliness)

2. To build a contact list

3. To create popularity for business or personal reasons.

4. To Connect with business partners for meetings and social events

5. For Advertisers to see whats hot so they can write about it, talk about it, or market the "hot" product or service themselves.

6. Spammers

7. Police (FBI) also uses social networks to find pedifiles

8. Campus directors to find people on different non-allowed social networks to get them banned from College or Alumni's. If they post different material on their personal post they they did on their applicants.

9. To Stay in touch with families.

10. Talent searches for new artists,(Music, Authors, Models, ect)

Well that's all. I found I use Social Networks to tell the world about my business.

I have learned that giving valuable information in return will get you more respect, than being a unexperienced seller. Selling to strangers without getting to know them first.

How to Become a Millionaire


How to Become a Millionaire

Regardless of where you go in the world, money is the universal measurement for being "rich", or becoming a millionaire. And it seems like everyone wants to be rich or a millionaire.

Steps

  1. Open a savings account: Having a savings account is one of the many ways where you can set your money up to work for you. Your initial deposit of money grows whether or not you make additional deposits.
  2. Buy stocks: If you are gung-ho for individual stocks, you should buy stocks of the companies whose products and services you use or purchase. One of the best ways to invest in individual stocks is through an investment club; you may want to consider forming one with your friends.
  3. Buy mutual funds: Mutual funds are really an investment of other investments. When you own a mutual fund, you actually own the securities (stocks, bonds, cash) within the mutual. With mutual funds, you are pooling your money with other investors and diversifing your investment.
  4. Audition for game shows: Game shows earn their money by the audience, not the contestents.
  5. Play the lottery
  6. Find a "system" that has been proven to make people become millionaires. The top five producers of millionaires today are: technology - internet marketing, direct sales, home-based business, product distribution, and investments (stocks, bonds, real estate investment / development).
  7. Find a mentor who has walked the walk and seek advice. Surround yourself with already-made millionaires.

Tips

  • Don't use a credit card much, all of the excessive spending will come back to haunt you, and you may end up in debt. Try getting a debit card for daily purchases, they're a lot easier to deal with. Use your credit card only for emergencies, and to establish your good credit.
  • Try not to take any big loans, because that's "big" money that you'll just have to pay back, and you could end up in debt for that also.
  • Control your expenses. You get rich on the difference between that and what you make
  • Make it a game. Looking for opportunities to make money is supposed to be fun. Never sweat it.
  • Read. The more you know the more you will perceive to be possible, the more you can make.
  • Make it about something else than money. It has to be fun. Fair enough you are doing it to become financially well of but few wealthy get of on that alone.
  • Make friends with people who share the same goals and values. It will reduce your downtime, and give you pleasure when you are down.
  • Make friends with people who are different than you. They can be the greatest source of inspiration and guidance if you are open to their different perspective.
  • Help others. Learn to be a caring individual that makes the world better for people around yourself. It will lead to more positivity coming your way.
  • Plan. Define what you want, Act on it, and Evaluate often to see how you are going.
  • It is OK to be cheap, but never be cheap on things that give you value.
  • Never invest more than you are willing to lose. This is particularly important when you start. The older and more experienced you get the less risk you are likely to take, or the better you are capable of taking it.
  • Think a lot on why you want to become rich, what exactly you want to buy, what lifestyle you want. Make it specific, and date your time for having it and why it matters to you
  • Money represents value. You might come to the understanding that you make money on giving something that other value more than what they pay. You spend the money to get something that is more valuable for

Warnings

  • Don't compare your riches and wealth with others. There will always be someone with more money than you; there will always be someone with less money than you.
  • Be prepared to make choices that are different than most people around you.
  • Keep riches and wealth in perspective. Never let your possessions mean more to you than your relationships with family and friends.
  • Money doesn't buy happiness (but it can take care of almost everything else).
  • Never steal money. So don't get any ideas about robbing the bank.

MLM Online Marketing Tip #1

The overall idea of online marketing for your MLM business is to generate leads
. You need a ton of leads. So, to generate leads, you can use various marketing techniques. One of which, is blogs. You can get a free blog at blogger.com.

When writing in your blogs, you should write about your particular industry. An example would be if you're in the travel industry, you can write about tips on traveling, great traveling places for summer, to-do list before taking a trip, and other tips.

Add your website, phone number, and email address to the blog. This will have people calling you or booking travel with you. This will work for any industry (wellness, weight loss, telecommunications, candles, eco-friendly products, skincare, etc.).

Network Marketing Training: Network marketing works and will always work

Network marketing works and will always work because of the following set of situations that will NEVER change.

1. Even when the economy is strong, many people need supplemental income the honest truth is...
most people live paycheck to paycheck. Most people aren't able to afford the nicer things in life on their primary source of income alone. Further, getting a pay raise from there primary job is much easier said then done. Starting a part time network marketing business is a LOW RISK and LOW COST way for the average Joe or Jane to supplement his or her primary source of income.

As a result there will ALWAYS be a need for network marketing.

2. The simple truth is... people are looking for freedom from their 9 to 5 job that they don't enjoy and they need cash flow to do that. Network marketing opportunities provide an opportunity that's just to tempting for most people to pass up.

3. People want more time to enjoy there lives. Network marketing offers this by allowing distributors to work from home and to create a residual source of income on there own time.

Read the next sentence it surprised me when I found this out... Money magazine conducted a nationwide poll and discovered that 64% of Americans said that if they had the choice between more money and more time, they would choose time.

Network Marketing promises complete time flexibility! Again... Network marketing opportunities are just to hard to pass up for many people. And this won't change anytime soon!
Network marketing works and It is here to stay!
My advice is to get started now and reap your just rewards.
