When you’re an MLMer and your business is a success you may find yourself asking, “Who am I around? How much influence do I have on others? If I talk to someone, do they listen? And most importantly, can I really affect change?”
When you’re a business owner it’s important to go where the crowds go. It’s not going to work even having the best product in the world if you’re as silent about it. If you don’t already know, there are literally millions of people on Twitter. So exactly how many of those people do you need to sign up to build a massive team of distributors?
One of the most important things for any business is attention. Without it your business will undoubtedly fail.
Attention is without a doubt the most essential ingredient for the success of any business. If you’re able to catch the attention of others and keep it, then you can apply yourself to ANYTHING and still make money. Once you’ve learned what it takes to earn attention, you’ll see your MLM profits rise. Of course they wouldn’t call it PAYING attention if you didn’t have to earn it.
When you build an outstanding MLM team and an outstanding Twitter following, they’re really very similar goals. In order to build a large group of people you must find a group who actually think you are worth following. It’s also how popularity is defined on Twitter and how you define success in MLM. It’s also easy to see how popularity on Twitter can lead to success in MLM.
Because MLM recruiting is simply about reaching more of the right person, and Twitter boasts about millions of members, it’s really obvious that using their service is no longer something you can just ignore. Twitter is very popular and the growth rate is so powerful that there’s no doubt it’s here to stay.
Did you know that Twitter is a social networking site like Myspace and Facebook that allows you connect with people from all over the world?
As a matter of fact, right now Twitter is actually the hottest social networking site on the web, and is featured in news stories and in magazines every day. You can even find many celebrities on Twitter as well as businesses and millions of regular users who are just looking to connect with other people like you and I.
You’re excited about your new MLM business and you’ve decided to go to work even before attending your first MLM training. Congratulations! You’re a self starter and success is on the agenda.
Even without MLM network marketing training, you know you need to secure a domain. I recommend securing a domain with GoDaddy.com or MergeDomains.com. They both have excellent service. MergeDomains is a bit cheaper and that can add up when you discover the many domain possibilities.
Remember, .com is the preferred domain extension. You could make yourself crazy inputting the first hundred domain possibilities that come to mind. Or, you could check out this video for a wonderful review of MakeWords.com:
Welcome back. I hope you found some journals worthy of your ideas. Now,
Let’s talk about business cards. Do you need business cards to be in business for yourself? NO. Most business cards end up in the trash anyway. People do not do business with you because you have a pretty business card.
I know a successful entrepreneur who doesn’t randomly hand out business cards. His philosophy is one of self responsibility, “If I plan to do business with that person, I’m going to call them.” He simply tells people, “I don’t have a card on me right now. Let me send you one.” Then he precedes to secure their information.
Hopefully we all know that we need to follow up with people, but some ways of follow up are more effective than others. Tami DuBose has some great follow up ideas in this quick 2-minute video.
Squidoo lenses and Google Knols are a great way to provide MLM training, hints, tips and advice using training modules that teach the principles of attraction marketing.
You can use each Squidoo lens or Knol to teach an important aspect of the bigger picture by creating a step-by-step lesson plan that will lead your new prospects by the hand to learn how to be more effective in their sales and approaches.
When you devote one lens to each bit of personal development, you’re teaching them how to do what you do. You can then feature books using Amazon, ClickBank or PayDotCom to provide more information on a particular point. Once you’ve done that, you’ll want to be sure to link those pages together in logical order.
If you have a new distributor with your great new product line who has no idea what to do with it or where to go, you’re in serious trouble. Many new distributors end up quitting before they ever get started because they are abandoned by their sponsors and feel all alone and have no idea what to do.
More than likely, your MLM sales pitch made it sound really easy to make a bunch of money, or maybe your new distributor just feels too overwhelmed with all of that information you gave them. Either way it doesn’t matter because the fact of the matter is, they need your help.
Every one of your new distributors needs access to two different types of training:
Hopefully you now know that you need to write articles for your lenses and other Web 2.0 sites and blogs, because article marketing, or educational marketing is what works in today’s Web 2.0 world…So what’s next?
Well, what the big-money earners do is set up a Marketing Funnel.
First thing’s first. Statistics show that a person must be exposed to an idea at least 7 times before they’re willing to accept it. So instead of writing an entire Squidoo lens or blog post on “why you have to have my MLM” you should start at the beginning.
