MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Home Business- 35 Steps to Starting One- Part 2

The Network Marketing Home Business.

19. REPEAT STEPS 14 TO 18 FOR OTHER PRODUCTS.

20. FIND HOT BEST SELLING “HOW TO” INFORMATION THAT PAYS OVER 1000% PROFIT THAT YOU COPY LOCALLY FOR PENNIES AND SELL FOR DOLLARS.

A quick way to launch your business is to buy “ready made” QUALITY Network Marketing books and reports that you can use NOW!! Later, add your own creations to your product line. A number of book publishers, mail order dealers and close-out sources often carry overstocked books called remainders at a fraction of the cover price. Check your phone book or contact your local book store for inventory. If you chose to sell used books for which there is a big market, consider yard sales, flea markets, bazaars and schools which are a great source of good used books, Profit margins, for these books are typically less than for your own materials because the publisher had to produce the book, promote it and pay royalties to the author. Margins can run 30 to 1000+% but normally average at about 50-75% range on a book by book basis. Used books, obtained at the sources mentioned can return 1000+% profit.

You can create your own MLM info-products if you have the time and know how to do it. The high profit, approaching 2000%, comes from the low production cost of copying reports, books and booklets for which you have acquired the “rights” from the originator, copyright owner, or “prime source”. Depending on the size ie. number of pages, of the info-product, and the quantity you reproduce, will determine your cost. Usually, your cost is a fraction of the retail price of the material offered to the buyer. For example, a 24 page book on “MAIL ORDER SECRETS” that retails for $25-$35 may cost only $1.20 to produce in small quantities or as little as $0.75 in 2000 lot quantities thereby resulting in enormous profit potential to the dealer. Caution: It is illegal to reproduce copyrighted reports and books without the written permission of the copyright owner. Reprint rights certificates are granted to dealers who have paid for that privilege.

Copyrights provide protection from copying for literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works. They can be obtained for $20. The Patent Office does not handle copyright registration, rather, contact the Library of Commerce. To protect, say, your new information product such as a book, report or article, request FORM TX and Circular 1. “Copyright Basics”: from Register of Copyrights, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20559-6000 or call: (202) 707-9100 [24 hr. Forms Hotline].

21. AVOID WORN OUT, CHEAP, WORTHLESS, POOR QUALITY, MLM SUCCESS REPORTS.

People pay for information contained in a report and do not necessarily care what the report actually looks like PROVIDED the information is what they were looking for and not just a rehash of commonly available information merely repackaged. A one page report containing important data useful to the buyer, such as a financial newsletter that may cost $25 for a single page may be worth 10 times the cover price for the value of the information conveyed to the reader, while a single page report, poorly written or containing useless general information is not worth the cost of the paper it’s written on. So, insist on quality, and with your newly acquired computer skills, you should be able to deliver a quality document with little effort. Give your customers what you want.

MLM In Local Newspapers

22. PLACE A TINY INEXPENSIVE CLASSIFIED AD IN A SMALL LOCAL NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING THE INFORMATION.

Avoid placing expensive display ads without first testing your offer with a small, low cost, classified ad. Ads placed in local papers will run quickly, unlike ads placed in magazines which often have closing dates 1-2 months in advance of your actual ad placement date. In other words, you should know whether your ad pulls orders sooner when placed in small newspapers than in magazines. Consider other faster, inexpensive means of test advertising such as E Mail and the Internet as discussed later, where your ad is placed practically instantaneously in those media with world-wide exposure to potentially millions of prospects. Always test your offer before you invest large sums of money on any MLM advertising campaign. It is wise to vary your offer in price and content depending on where you place your ad. If your product appeals to both sports fans and to investors you should put a higher price on your offer targeted to investors who may more readily recognize the value of your offer than a sports fan. Test, test and test again, then repeat ads that out pull another test ad while eliminating or modifying the lesser pulling ad.

23. FILL ORDERS YOURSELF

Fill orders from a small stock of copies you have on hand or copy as orders are received. Keep a small inventory of books that you acquired from publishers or other sources mentioned and fill orders from stock. Backorder, as needed.

24. REINVEST ALL PROFITS IN OTHER INFORMATION.

After the sale to your customer, you should be prepared to offer additional related information and products to your customer. That’s why you should strive to expand your line with new materials and money-making offers.

25. HIRE DEALERS TO HELP YOU SELL YOUR INFORMATIVE MATERIAL.

It’s a big world out there!!! You can not, alone, reach all of your best prospects, due to time and money contraints. Sure, you can do a lot of the work yourself, at first, but soon you will discover that there are experienced dealers and distributors who know how and where to market YOUR products and information and make you both more money than you could make alone. The small commission paid to your dealers is well worth it.

26. START SLOWLY AND GRADUALLY BUILD YOUR BUSINESS.

For example, don’t buy new office equipment when you can ‘get by’ with some used ones. Go step by step constantly testing the market. Stay with product lines that work and eliminate those that are duds.

27. DON’T BELIEVE TV GET RICH QUICK HYPE.

Building a business takes time, effort and money. Sure, a lucky few did make lots of money fast, but they don’t tell you how much it really cost them and how many other false leads they followed to achieve success. Realistically, at first, shoot for earning a few hundred dollars a week by inexpensively marketing good products and information having nice profit margins. Fill orders from inventory to control business activity.

28. THE KEY TO DIRECT MARKETING SUCCESS IS PROFIT MARGIN.

You need at least 3 or 4 times your cost to make money because advertising, overhead, postage, product costs, and your salary must be included. Avoid low margin products or you’ll go broke fast!! As mentioned, there are products available that allow 400% profit margins and information products with 1000+% profit margins. If you try to obtain these suggested margins then you are on the road to success. If you try to sell a product that costs $2.00 for $2.75 you will certainly fail to make a profit because the operating expenses will consume your slim profit margin.

29. CONTROL YOUR PRODUCT OR INFORMATION

Another important key to success is to control your product or information. You become the supplier letting others help you sell your product. You achieve this control by buying products or directly from supplier aka “prime source” at below wholesale prices or by creating your own materials.

The MLM FREE Publicity Factor.

30. GET FREE PUBLICITY

Get FREE Publicity for your Company by writing press “news” releases to area newspapers. Editors will not print releases that are overly commercial. News items will normally be printed. Instead of writing a press release, call the editor, then briefly state why your home business would be of interest to readers. For example, YOUR business helps people…save time, money etc…and, other readers can learn from your experiences to start their own business too. Tell the editor that you are available to be interviewed for a feature story to be written about you. When you “GET FREE PRESS”, send me your clipping and remind me that I told you so!!! Good Luck!!

31. START SMALL WITH LITTLE MONEY

Always start out small, avoiding big cash outlays. Take one small step at a time but START!! Don’t procrastinate!!

The Directory of Business Development Publications offers publications to help you build and manage your business. FREE counseling for business is offered through several dedicated organizations: the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE); Small Business Institutes (SBI’s); Small Business Development Centers (SBDC’s) and a number of professional associations. Contact: U.S. Small Business Administration Mail Code: 2550, 409 Third Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20416 or call: 1-800-827-5722 to request publications or assistance.

32. AVOID PURCHASING MAILING LISTS AT FIRST.

Typical mailing list customer response rate is just 3% (considered to be very good by industry standards). This means that if you mail your offer to 1000 persons you can expect only 30 replies and not all of them contain orders. To mail 1000 pieces of your offer is costly. Postage alone (at current first class rates) is $320, so don’t use direct mail at this time. Later, when you build a customer base, you should mail them additional (back end) offers from time to time and, these customers who already purchased your initial offer are very likely to respond to your other follow-up offers especially if you provided good service and quality products and information they wanted. Expect response rates of 10 to 15% at that time.

33. E MAIL MARKETING IN MLM.

Consider marketing via E Mail by offering FREE reports and valuable information, product sources and tips. Subscribe to E Mail Newsletters such as the one you are reading now and place low cost test ads to get world wide exposure for your offers. Perhaps, after you gain experience, you may want to create your own specialty E Newsletter for your interest such as inventing, woodworking, home repairs, energy sufficiency, etc.

34. INTERNET

Consider Internet advertising, perhaps on your own web page or on a high traffic mall, but remember that you (or the promoter) must publicize your electronic mall usually by print advertising or via E Mail. A low cost classified ad can effectively create “hits” at your web site or “mall”. Your ad may say: ” FREE MONEY MAKING OFFERS TO ALL VISITORS TO…YOUR WEB SITE” or have professionals handle creating, promoting and maintaining your site for you.

35. NETWORKING

Tell everyone you meet what you do and listen to what THEY do. Offer to exchange business cards and refer clients to them. Also, if you see an interesting article that is related to the other person’s business, clip it and mail it to them with a note that says: Thinking of you…here’s an article you may find of interest. This little tip works wonders.

MLM Network Marketing Training Starting an MLM Home Business- 35 Steps- Part 1

MLM Network Marketing Training Starting an MLM Home Business- 35 Steps- Part 1

The MLM Dream of Millions.

Starting a home business is the dream of millions of budding entrepreneurs. Maybe you have also thought of starting a home business but for one reason or another you never got around to it. Now, perhaps you are laid off or ‘down-sized’ and must ‘do something’ to survive. Maybe you are retired or perhaps you need extra money, why not talk and listen to a good cash flow coach? Whatever your motives are for wanting to become more independent financially or mentally, here are some step by step tips on how you can get started in an MLM home business of your own.  Investing in Bitcoin requires nerves of steel, and also keeping an eye on the latest crypto news. Better still, you should have an idea of what is in store for the market. Look at what happened last year. Bitcoin surged in price to an all-time high over the course of a month and then practically halved in value over the course of a week. All because China had banned ICOs and shut down local crypto exchanges. This came at a bad time because U.S. banks had just put an end to buying Bitcoin by credit card. If you are looking for the cryptocurrency news then click here.

1. WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A NETWORK MARKETING ENTREPRENEUR

It has often been stated that an entrepreneur is a risktaker. Although that is true to some extent, my definition of an entrepreneur follows: “Entrepreneurs are not risktakers, rather, they see opportunities and seize them!” You will have to be a self starter and not depend on others. For example, when you worked at your “regular job” your boss ‘fed you work’ and you had to do whatever job you were given even though you hated it. On payday, you got your reward. As an MLM Entrepreneur, you’ll have to find WHAT you want to do, HOW to do it and WHERE to sell your creation or service. You’ll spend more time than you’d ever imagine but you’ll enjoy it better.

2. TAKE INVENTORY OF YOUR PERSONAL SKILLS, BACKGROUND, EXPERIENCE AND INTERESTS.

For instance, if you enjoy woodworking, then try to establish a business involving woodworking. Some thoughts that come to mind are making wooden novelties, birdhouses, whirligigs (wind toys), crafts or even building decks and sheds. Start with your hobbies to find a potential business opportunity that you already enjoy. If you do what you enjoy, the money will come, unless there is no market. So, don’t hock the family jewels to start a buggy whip manufacturing business!!

3. LEARN ABOUT COMPUTERS

Computers are big now and will be the growth area in the future. Learn a word processing program such as Ami Pro, Microsoft Word, or Word Perfect. You don’t need the fastest, most powerful computer to do a decent job and you don’t have to spend a lot of money on a computer or on training either. Used computer stores and mail order suppliers listed in computer magazines have good computers for low cost. Check out your local computer users group or your local adult education programs offered at local high schools and colleges for low cost training. Ask your reference librarian for help or check the “yellow pages “…but do it now!!

4. WHAT IS THE PERFECT MLM BUSINESS FOR YOU?

The ‘perfect’ business in my view is one that you enjoy and is fun rather than work. For example, I always liked to tinker and build all kinds of contraptions from discarded items. I’d never throw away anything away without first dissecting it and salvaging good parts that I could use for other “thing-a-ma-jigs”. I once built a simple metal detector from electronic parts that I “stole” from a broken radio. I used a few resistors, a capacitor, some lamp cord wire [for the search coil] scrap plywood to mount the components and an old broom handle to hold during searching. Oh yes, the receiver was a cheap working transistor radio tuned to the right frequency and attached to the broom handle with [thick] rubber bands I cut from a bicycle inner tube that had a blow out. Despite the “Rube Goldberg contraption”, it did and still does work and I’ve found several coins with it and lots of bottle caps!!

You too have many hidden untapped talents that you can use to start and build your own business at home. Start by making a list of your hobbies and interests for getting ideas. When you do what you love, it is fun and not work!

The Network Marketing Understanding.

5. NEVER START AN MLM BUSINESS THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.

A friend of mine, an accountant, said that someone asked him to ‘get involved’with designing and setting up web pages on the Internet. This sounded like a great opportunity, and when my friend told me that he knew nothing about web page design I told him to either get knowledge from books or seminars and courses or find a business that he understands and enjoys. Not having the time or interest to pursue web page design, he followed my advice and, several months ago, he set up a financial investment service business which was related to his accounting background. So, to get going fast, start the business that is closely related to your interests. Go with what you know!!

6. OBTAIN A BUSINESS LICENSE FROM YOUR LOCAL CITY OR TOWN HALL.

A business license costs about $10. Request 2 or 3 extra copies of the license with the official city seal on it, your bank will need an official copy for their files. Before a license is issued, the clerk checks the files to see if the business name you picked is available and is not already used by another. A DBA “doing business as” account is one such as: Mary Jones doing business as (DBA) “ABC Company”.

7. OPEN A BUSINESS CHECKING ACCOUNT AT YOUR LOCAL BANK.

Usually, a DBA checking account is FREE. You need the business checking account to cash your customer’s checks made payable to your business. If you do not have a business checking account, then you can’t cash or deposit checks. When opening a business checking account, the bank will ask for your business license and some form of ID such as a driver’s license. Start with a small deposit say, $100 and you’ll soon get your printed checks and you are ready for business.

8. ALWAYS USE BUSINESS STATIONERY

You must have business stationery ie. a printed envelope and letterhead and a business card in order to do business with suppliers. A local print shop such as “Staples”, “Office Max” and others can quickly print a small quantity (500) of each or you can type set your own with your computer and save some money. Don’t get fancy with your printing when you start out. Avoid paying for special logo designs when you can use a stock “:logo cut” at very little extra cost, but a logo alone, does not necessarily sell more of your offers so keep your printed stationery simple.

9. GET A BUSINESS PHONE AND AN ANSWERING MACHINE.

A business phone and a business answering machine with a professional outgoing message means that you are serious. Avoid using your personal answering machine and home phone as your business one too. Often I have reached ‘businesses’ that were answered by children or that had barking dogs in the background. When you answer the phone, say your company name, such as “ABC COMPANY, John Smith speaking..May I help You?” rather than a personal “hello”. Also, with your business phone you get a free one line yellow (& white page) listing for your business. The cost for a business phone is under $20 a month (basic service) with a one time installation charge of about $100. Buy an answering machine with a speaker phone so you can speak while you read or write. I use Phone Mate #8200 ($39.95) with good results.

An example of how having a business phone listing paid off was when a book publisher called directory assistance under our company name to see if we had a business phone before he agreed to work with us!! So, look professional and act professional and you’ll be treated with respect and opportunities will come to you seemingly out of the blue. I believe that the SMARTER (not the HARDER) you work the LUCKIER you get!!

10. CONSIDER MAIL ORDER

Starting a mail order business is another popular ‘easy entry’ way to start a home based business with little investment. The big problem is to find a product or information to sell. Reading and responding to classified and display ads in printed opportunity magazines, on-line business magazines and E Newsletters such as this one is an excellent way to gain entry into the mail order or direct marketing business with little money. Note, too, how and why the particular ad you responded to got your attention. Pattern, but do not copy, your own ads the same way. Example: use the word FREE if possible in your ad to get attention fast or use an attention getting ad such as “MAKE 1998% PROFIT SELLING INFORMATION!!”

The MLM Product Possibilities.

11. WHERE TO FIND PRODUCTS TO SELL.

Trade shows, magazines, newsletters, on-line publications, manufacturers, and importers are good places to look for products to sell.

For trade shows, contact the Chamber of Commerce in your area. Also, contact local convention or trade centers via the Chamber of Commerce in any large city for a calendar of up-coming trade shows which are typically held annually. To attend these shows, you must be “in the trade” since they are not open to the public. Sometimes you may be able to get a free pass and badge from a sponsor. I’ve attended many trade shows in Chicago, New York City and in Boston just by contacting the sponsor and telling them that I am a direct marketer seeking new products.

You can directly contact manufacturers and suppliers requesting their wholesale prices (remember to use your business stationery). The companies can be found in the Thomas Register of American Manufacturers (22 volumes; 1997 cost $240) under 55,000 product & service headings. This valuable resource looks like a big green encyclopedia and is available in any large public or college library.

Contact a local field office of the Department of Commerce for Importing/Exporting information in the blue pages phone book under US Government Listings. Your local library and especially the business library of a College or University is an excellent source of business books, publications and trade magazines where you can get ideas for products that you can sell.

12. HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN PRODUCTS.

Invent your own MLM products by improving existing products. I taught a creativity seminar and asked the students to find as many uses as possible for a piece of fluorescent property marking tape. In 15 minutes they brainstormed over 167 uses!! Some were: fuel; toilet paper; decoration; a belt;a bikini; a hat, bookmark, fishing lure etc. Try brainstorming on any product that you want to improve. Simply list as many ways that come to mind in say, 20 minutes, of how you can improve the product. The more ideas the better regardless of how seemingly silly or stupid they may seem to be at first. Don’t stop to evaluate any of them now, rather just let your creative juices flow and you will find that you too can invent!!

Avoid responding to late night scam invention marketing companies who promise you the world and fail to deliver anything. Some highly touted companies may be fraudulent. Contact and question the Federal Trade Commission about the reputation of any invention marketing firms that you are considering. You can check out https://www.jpost.com/special-content/get-your-invention-off-the-ground-with-the-support-of-inventhelp-624132. Do this before submitting your ideas and your money to them. Deal with reputable firms. The Patent and Trademark Office provides patent and trademark protection to inventors and businesses. It offers some information on invention marketing companies also that you may want to check out. It grants patents on inventions registers trademarks, publishes patent information and maintains files of U.S. and foreign patents for public use. If you invent a new product ask for information regarding patents and trademarks: Contact: U.S. Department of Commerce, Patent and Trademark Office, Washington, D.C. 20231 or call 703-308-4357.

The MLM Approach for Suppliers.

13. HOW TO APPROACH SUPPLIERS, MANUFACTURERS AND MAIL ORDER DEALERS.

Using your word processing program or typewriter, write a simple, cordial, yet professional letter to the principal of the company such as the President (for small companies only) or Sales Manager. Avoid sending “dear occupant” letters, rather, look up the key executives names and titles in “Standard & Poors Directory of American Corporations” (available in the library) or call the company directly to get the name of the decision maker you need to contact. Use your business stationery to conduct business with suppliers. Sending requests on postcards or with hand written notes on tablet paper will be ignored. Also, if there is a charge for a catalog and you don’t include the payment, don’t expect to receive a reply. Why should a supplier, mail order dealer or business person mail out product literature and samples to “curiosity seekers?”

14. FIND A PRODUCT THAT PAYS OVER 400% PROFIT.

Unless you have a good profit margin (preferably, at least 3 to 4 times your cost) you can not make any serious money reselling products, with few exceptions. You can find high profit products from inventors who may have a garage or basement full of products, packaged and ready to be sold. You can place a “Products Wanted” ad in a newspaper and have suppliers contact you. Also, a good source of new products is foreign trade sources. Your librarian can help you find several importing resources. Also, the US Department of Commerce listed in the blue pages of your phone book can help with import/export issues. The yellow pages of your phone directory has listings of importers in the USA who have already imported the type of products you want. By dealing directly with these “import/export brokers” you can save the hassles of paying duty on imports and of currency exchanges and of waiting for slow delivery. Their relatively small service charges outweigh the potential, costly problems that an amateur importer may experience.

15. PLACE A TINY INEXPENSIVE CLASSIFIED AD IN A SMALL LOCAL NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING THE PRODUCT.

Don’t spend a lot of money on display ads until you know that your product will sell at a profit. Using hard hitting, attention getting words in your ad such as:

AMAZING NEW WIDGET CATCHES FISH LIKE CRAZY!! GAME WARDENS ARE WORRIED!!! FREE DETAILS. Your Name, address.

Test! Test! Test! Try various ads and placement until you find which ones work best, then run the same order pulling ad in other publications.

Key your ads so you will know where the responses are coming from. For example, you can vary the spelling of your company name as a key, or you can use a department number or a suite number. Examples: “My Mail Order Company” can be keyed as “My Mailco”; MMailo” “My Mail Order Comp” etc.

16. FILL ORDERS YOURSELF

Fill orders from a small stock of inventory you have on hand. This allows you to quickly respond to customers with a product you control without depending on drop shippers to fill your order. This also eliminates errors by third party material handlers. Use drop shipping for large, hard to inventory expensive ($100++) products that are sold in low volume. For high volume fast sellers, it is best, we have found, that it is faster to handle and fill all orders in house or locally, from stock on hand. Later, as sales volume increases, you may want to hire a fulfillment company to pick, pack and ship orders directly to your customer while billing you for their services.

17. REINVEST ALL PROFITS IN OTHER PRODUCTS.

Don’t plan your world cruise on the initial success from your first few product sales. It takes time to build a business. Reinvest profits wisely in new products.

18. HIRE DEALERS TO HELP YOU SELL YOUR PRODUCT.

There is only a limited amount of hours in a day. At first, do as much of the work in your business yourself, but know when to ask for and use help such as sales professionals. Sure, you have to pay dealers a commission, but they will reach markets that you can never reach alone.

MLM Network Marketing Training 9 Ways for Your MLM Business to Succeed on the Internet Without a Web Site!

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training 9 Ways for Your MLM Business to Succeed on the Internet Without a Web Site!

By Jeffrey Spencer

IN MLM- Without a Website.

It is possible to succeed and profit on the Internet without a website. I have been marketing online for over 2 years, most of that time without a Web site. I have sold well over $10,000 in product using nothing more than an e-mail account.

You can achieve this kind of Network marketing success on the Internet if you look at cyberspace as an extension of mail-order marketing. The Internet is an additional promotional tool for getting prospect leads and selling products.

Here are nine ways to succeed on the Internet without an MLM web site. In each case, the goal is to direct people to your e-mail account to obtain more information.

1) Place classified ads (similar to print classifieds) in the commercial on-line services including America On line (keyword: classifieds), Compu Serve (Go classifieds) and Prodigy (Jump classifieds). Do you promote a specific product or service off line? Adver tise it with an online classified and have people contact you via e-mail for more information. Send sales info by return e-mail or regular mail.

2) Place classified ads in Web classified malls. Check out http:// www.imall.com for an example. Do a search in a search engine for “classified malls” to locate others.

3) Use autoresponders. These are e-mail robots that automatically send information to the person that sent e-mail to the autoresponder. You will also receive a digest of the e-mail addresses and the messages sent to your autoresponder. Save this information for follow-up marketing. Visit myresponders.com for information on reliable autoresponders at great prices.

4) Use Internet Newsgroups to network and locate target customers. Offer items for FREE such as a catalog, report or article. Be careful of blatant advertising. You want to offer information of value to users. At the end of your FREE article or report, briefly tell people what you do and how to contact you for more information. Visit http://www.deja news.com for information on over 15,000 news groups.

5) Advertise in e-mail newsletters and online mailing lists. Just like a magazine or newspaper, you can advertise in other people’s e-mail publications. This is a great way to reach your customers directly by e-mail. Visit http://www.liszt.com for information on thousands of e-mail lists. Send e-mail to ad rates@info back.net for advertising information in my e-mail newsletter.

The MLM Lists.

6) Buy solicited e-mail lists. Similar to direct mail, you can send advertisements about your MLM products directly to people’s e-mail accounts along with instructions on how to get more information. However, be careful about renting unsolicited e-mail lists. This can be very damaging to your business if used incorrectly. Visit http://www.postmasterdirect.com for information on solicited e-mail lists.

7) Build your own “house” customer e-mail list. Save the e-mail address of anybody that contacts you via e-mail. These people are good prospects to contact for follow-up marketing. They’ve already shown an interest in your business. When sending follow-up Netwrok Marketing messages by e-mail you incur no costs for postage or printing. Great! Integrate your e-mail list-building with all forms of marketing, both on and offline.

8) Get FREE publicity online with press releases and articles you have written. At the end of an article, offer something FREE to readers via e-mail. Visit http://www.gebbieinc.com/presto.htm for information on blasting press releases online.

9) Host online Forums. On America OnLine and CompuServe there are numerous forums covering almost every topic. Contact the administrators of these and propose to be a guest expert for a future forum. This establishes you as an expert. People who participate in the forum might contact you about doing business.

By putting these ideas to work, you can build your business on the Internet with only an e-mail account.

Jeffrey Spencer is the publisher of the nationally recognized newsletter “Internet Profits!” and author of dozens of internationally published articles. E-mail your name & mailing address to ssimail@ix.netcom.com for newsletter information plus his special FREE report: “How to Really Use the Internet to Make Your Business More Competitive, Profitable and Successful

MLM Network Marketing Training How To Use Marketing and Sales To Explode Your MLM Home Business -Part 1

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training How To Use Marketing and Sales To Explode Your MLM Home Business -Part 1

By Sean M. Lyden

Warning: Reading This And The Following Sales and Marketing Articles May Cause Your Business To Grow Beyond What You Are Presently Able To Handle.

Are you willing to take the risk and put in the effort to build and grow a home-based business? Then read on and prosper!

The MLM Problem.

The Problem Many home-based entrepreneurs don’t know how to best market their products and services. Some neglect proactive marketing all together, praying earnestly and waiting for prospects to fall through the ceiling. Others market full-force, but produce shoddy publicity materials or other key marketing mistakes that kill their business credibility, pushing clients away. Either approach will keep you from achieving your business potential and financial dreams.

The Bottom Line Whether you’ve been thinking about starting a home business or you’re already a seasoned home-based entrepreneur, the principle remains the same — your business’ survival and success hinge on how effectively you penetrate the marketplace. There fore, examine how the following marketing strategies and tools can help you boost your home business profits in 1998.

The Home-Based Advantage Low overhead costs, no commute to work, the ability to be home with the kids — these are just a few of the advantages for the home business owner. Gear your marketing efforts to capitalize on these and other home-based strengths including:

• Adaptability. The Information Age has escalated the rate of change in the marketplace. To survive and thrive, you must be prepared to act — and act quickly. As a home-based entrepreneur, you can make adjustments instantly, without having to cut through the red tape of bureaucratic decision-making procedures of larger business.

• Technology. Computers, the Inter net, fax machines, and emerging video-conferencing can take home businesses to a more level playing field with bigger companies, empowering entrepreneurs to accomplish tasks that used to require hiring staff to perform. • The Part-Time Op tion. Unlike conventional store-front businesses that require full-time attention and high overhead costs, home businesses can be operated part-time, at low cost, and — depending on your financial goals — can be phased into full-time operations.

Taking Your Business To The Next Level A common reason home businesses fail is because owners neglect the up-front planning needed to position their ventures. Once you have defined your market position — where you want to take your business in the next year — you will have moved one step closer to success. Begin by taking inventory of where your business is right now. What specific goods and services do you provide? How do you set yourself apart? What is your business’ reputation? How are you perceived by your customer as far as your prices, reliability, and other elements of your products or services? If you already have a business, seek feedback from existing clients. The next step is to project where you want to take your business in the next year. What market position do you want to occupy? Is the niche market you want large enough? How will your benefits outsell those provided by the competition? Do you have the ability, capital, resources and support to make your market position a reality? Your answers will give you the information you need to begin designing or updating your marketing plan.

Planning For Profit Once you have determined where you want to go, outline the essential steps to get there. Begin by writing a one sentence purpose (mission) statement for your marketing campaign. The rest of your plan should include a brief description of each of the following: • Benefits of your products and services. • Your target market. • What marketing tools will best help you achieve your mission. • Your market niche — what sets you apart in the market place. • Your marketing budget. Keep your marketing plan brief. The more concise you make your marketing plan, the more effective it will be in evaluating your marketing efforts throughout the year.

Finding Your Niche This is often the hardest task for a beginning home-based en trepreneur — but also one of the most crucial. In order for your venture to survive in a competitive marketplace, you must distinguish yourself from other businesses and find a niche. What makes your business unique? Why should someone choose to buy from you over a competitor? Prospective clients want to know. If you can give them a compelling answer, you will position yourself as a leader in your industry — boosting your profit potential.

The MLM Tools for Publicity.

Marketing Tools That Hit a Home Run According to Print Moz, no matter how you choose to publicize your business, one principle should guide your promotional material: Get to the point — fast. You’re vying for the attention of consumers bombarded each day with advertisements from countless companies — some being your competitors. Don’t waste any time getting your message across.

Ad — Vantage You have determined your market position and drawn up a marketing plan; now you’re ready to proactively spread the word about your products and services. One effective tool is mass-media advertising. You have a variety of media choices — depending upon your target market and your advertising budget — including magazines, newspapers, television, radio, and the Internet. Start by evaluating how and where your competitors advertise. What’s working for them? Take their best ideas; then design your own winning layout, positioning yourself as having the best offer.

Seductive Headlines As the first phrases seen in advertising copy, headlines should arouse enough interest in the reader so that they will want to read or listen on to learn more about your product, price and offer. To get ideas about what headlines will work best for you, scan different types of ad copy, particularly those from your competitors. Effective headlines:

• Capture the customer’s interest • Build business credibility • Highlight the most important benefits • Are always positive.

Testing Your Ads Advertising can be expensive, but for just about any business a mandatory investment. To get the most out of your ads, test them by the following criteria: • What is the quantity of leads or prospects that the ad generates? Compare this amount in terms of a unit cost of advertising (dollars in advertising per leads generated). • How many of these leads convert into sales? Different advertising media — due to the audiences they target — will vary in the numbers of actual closes. Continually check the response from your ads, make changes or run a new ad if necessary.

Regional & National Exposure Magazines and trade journals are the Energizer Bunny of the advertising tools — they keep going and going and going. Not only do magazine ads have the longest “shelf-life” of any advertising medium (giving your business exposure for as long as that issue is in circulation), but you can make reprints of that ad that will last you forever. You could run an ad in a major national magazine (a cost-effective option for home-based entrepreneurs to build credibility and compete with larger companies) and then order reprints of that ad to use as powerful credibility pieces in sales presentations, direct mailings, or whatever promotional means you choose. To find out if a publication will give you the exposure you want and fit in your marketing budget, call and ask for their media kit. Not only will you find out a magazine’s ad rates, but you’ll learn about its circulation, demographic focus, etc.

Extra! Extra! Read All About It! Newspaper ads are very effective for home-based businesses that market their products and services locally. Not only can you reach a large number of people in specific metropolitan locations, but you can also target pros pects via their interests (e.g. sports, lifestyle, and business sections). Go to your local library to study back issues of the newspaper in which you’re interested in placing an ad. What would be the best day for you to run an ad? If you were running a catering business, for example, you would choose Wednesday or Thursday because those are the days most newspapers print their food sections. What section of the paper would be best geared to your target market? If your offer is directed toward males, the sports section would be one for you to consider. Advertising costs depend on a number of factors including: the size of the ad, where in the paper it’s placed, the day it runs, etc. As with magazines, call and request a media kit from the newspaper to determine what advertising steps you can take that will fit within your marketing budget.

Making Waves With Radio Radio advertising enables you to home in on your target market depending upon the type of station, time of day and day of week you run an ad. The advertising costs for the large, more popular stations are out of reach for most home-based entrepreneurs. However, smaller stations provide less expensive options. When deciding whether or not you can afford to place a radio ad, determine how many times you need to run the ad in order for it to be effective. Initial placement may fit well into your budget, but the true test is to consider the overall costs of running an effective radio advertising campaign. For many home-based entrepreneurs, radio is not a cost-effective medium for home business owners, especially those who market to a national audience. However, if you target a local market and have the funds to run your ads consistently on a number or stations throughout the year, radio advertising may very well be the ticket you need to take your business to the next level.

The MLM TV Star!

Now You Too Can Be on TV! A television commercial — when done properly — is the most powerful way to get your message across. The combination of video and audio appeal to more senses than any other advertising method. His torically, be cause of television’s drawing power, only the big-name companies could afford to use it to advertise. However, with the dawn of satellite and cable TV, more affordable options are available for the home-based entrepreneur. As with radio, consider how often you need to run a TV ad for it to be effective. Then add up expenses. Placement costs have plummeted significantly, but if you purchase only one or two thirty second segments, you won’t likely make enough impact on your target market. Therefore, decide how much of your marketing budget you’re willing to devote to television advertising. If you cannot afford a significant number of runs, invest your advertising dollars elsewhere, such as magazine advertising. If you can, take full advantage of this powerful medium.

The Power Of Printed Material Once your ad has generated interest, how do you keep your prospects hungry to know more about what your business can do for them?

Brochures To Generate Closures Whet their appetites with a compelling brochure that showcases your business’ features and benefits and promotes your business expertise. Add attractive graphics and attention-grabbing headlines to give your brochure a professional appearance and build your business credibility.

Home-Based Basics Your brochure is just one component in you marketing arsenal. Don’t overlook the sales-generating potential of basic business printed materials:

• Letterhead and Stationary: Use high quality paper. Consider including your mission statement and a brief listing of services. Incorporate all ways to contact you, such as e-mail and fax.

• Faxes: A fax cover sheet should mirror the letterhead. Include your company name and number across the top of the page.

• Business Cards: When meeting a potential client, the business card is your first introduction. Put a headline on it that defines your mission. Fill the blank space on the back the card with the top three benefits your business has to offer.

• Invoices, Statements & Mis c ellaneous Correspondence: In all correspondence you have with a client, even sending a bill, use these as opportunities to market your business. As an example, an invoice to a client might contain a special discount only for previous customers.

• Flyers: Less formal and shorter than a brochure, flyers are used for impersonal promotions targeted to a time-specific event (special discount, sale item, etc.). Home-based entrepreneurs who market to a local audience can tack them up on utility poles and bulletin boards, place under car windshields, insert in newspapers, or deliver through carrier route mail. For national marketing, flyers can be send through the mail.

MLM Network Marketing Training WHAT ARE YOU ‘REALLY’ MARKETING in MLM? – It’s Not What You Think

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training WHAT ARE YOU ‘REALLY’ MARKETING in MLM? – It’s Not What You Think

 

This article was written by Charlie Cooke — and I believe it carries a powerful message…

You market your own business or you direct market for your company. You know what you are marketing – it’s obvious.

Or is it?

If You are in MLM…

If you’re a FINANCIAL ADVISOR, you probably think you’re marketing ‘financial advice’.

If you’re a SALES CONSULTANT, you may think you are marketing ‘sales training’.

If you area REALTOR, you may assume you market ‘homes or commercial properties’.

If you market Big Screen TVs, you may think you’re selling the ‘latest technology’.

In each case, you’d be right in terms of your ‘deliverables’ – but you’d be dead wrong about what your prospects are ‘buying’.

Over the years, I’ve worked with service providers ranging from Plumbers to Financial Advisors, to Data Management firms – as well as numerous Marketing Consultants.

Despite the diversity of services they provide, they all face the same hurdle –– to increasing their sales. Each and every one has the “product or service” they deliver confused with what they are “marketing”.

The Secret Product in Network Marketing.

What you’re “marketing” – and what you actually “deliver” – are two different things. The key to increasing your sales is to realize that what you are really marketing is — H-O-P-E .

You’re “marketing” your clients’ HOPE of achieving their goals.

You’re marketing to your prospects’ HOPES that they’ll be happier, more successful, more attractive, smarter, richer, more comfortable, more secure, etc.

Target your marketing to the REAL reasons people buy, and you’ll be much more successful in motivating them to make a purchase from you. Focus your marketing by identifying what your prospects WANT.

Make a list that describes their HOPES.

Following are some samples to give you the idea:

What Do Your MLM Prospects REALLY Want?

-WHAT YOUR PROSPECTS ‘REALLY’ WANT:

Residential Realtors’ Prospects
— I HOPE I can find a home I can afford
— I HOPE I can find a home to accommodate our growing family
— I HOPE I get the best possible price for our current home

Sales Trainers’ Prospects
— I HOPE I can generate more leads
— I HOPE more people understand how I can help them
— I HOPE I can sell more of my products and services

Plumbers’ Prospects
— I HOPE I can get the leak stopped as soon as possible
— I HOPE I can get a plumber to show up
— I HOPE it doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg

Financial Advisors’ Prospects
— I HOPE I have enough money to pay my childrens’ college tuitio
— I HOPE I have enough to afford to retire comfortably
— I HOPE my money is secure no matter what the stock market does

Online Data Management Firms’ Prospects
— I HOPE more people find my site
— I HOPE more prospects understand the ‘benefits’ of our services
— I HOPE more prospects contact us and buy from us

The Power of HOPE in Network Marketing.

What are your prospects H-O-P-I-N-G for when they buy ‘your’ products or services?

Why ‘Marketing to H-O-P-E’ – Works.

Much as you’d like to think your prospects make logical, well reasoned purchasing decisions, in most cases LOGIC plays a secondary role to EMOTIONS. If you’ve made the rounds with a son or daughter looking at colleges, you’ve experienced this first hand.

You talk the whole thing over thoroughly with your child and make a decision to visit a college that appears to be a great fit. You drive up to the campus and they won’t even get out of the car.

What’s going on? They’re making a decision based on some unspoken set of criteria that defies parental logic. Find out what those criteria are, and you can move forward.

The same goes for your prospects. Your prospects may bring logic to bear when ‘researching’ service / product providers – but their ‘ultimate selection’ will be based on emotions.

The Secret Success Factor in MLM.

Market directly to what they HOPE and WANT – and tap into these emotions to help them pick your product or service. No matter what business you’re in, your objective is to help your clients be more successful and to achieve their HOPES and DREAMS – both small and large.

Appeal to their motives and you’ll increase yoursales.

Remember HOPE in MLM stands for:


– Help
– Our
– Prospects
– Excel

Use HOPE to market your products and services, and you’ll capture your prospects’ attention – their hearts – and more of their business.

MLM Network Marketing Training -The Colors of MLM Success.

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training -The Colors of MLM Success.

 

I Know What Color You Are in MLM.

What do I mean I know your color?

It’s because I know and understand the Colors To Success.

In a nutshell it’s understanding the different color personalities people have. There are 4 color personality types. Red, Blue, Green and Yellow.

At this point this tells you nothing. No worries it didn’t mean anything to me when I first heard about personality colors. But man I wish I knew about this years ago, it would have saved me a ton of aggravation.

Everybody has a color type. And with that color type we act in a certain way. Certain things are important to us. We like to be talked to in a certain way. We like and dislike certain things.

The MLM Prospect.

Take me for example. Lets say you were calling me as a potential MLM prospect.

What if you knew how I liked to be talked to? Knew what was important to me. Knew what I didn’t like. Knew what I liked. Knew if I was over sensitive. Knew if I needed support.

Knew if I would be teachable. Knew if I was money motivated. Knew if I would be a leader. Knew if I was creative. Knew if I needed all the facts and figures…. I could go on and on.

What if you knew all this information and soooooooo much more about me after only talking to me (anyone) for only a few minutes and then gained more and more insight to me the longer you talked to me?

Do you think this would impact your business and your personal life in a positive way?

If I have to answer that for you…honestly click away and go play a video game I’m wasting my time on you. (Sorry about that I had some putz tell me he saw no value in this. Gee no wonder you’re not achieving all the success you could be.)

But for everyone else who sees the power of this. Would you not agree you’d have an unfair advantage on everyone else?

We do a free training call the first Saturday of each month on this very subject. I you would like to listen to this free call email me for the time and number.

Or click this link Colors To Success and you can purchase a CD that you can use as an ongoing training resource about personality colors for yourself and your team. (No I don’t get any money for recommending this to you)

The Four Success Colors in MLM.

For now I can give you a brief overview of the four different personality colors. There is much more to learn but this will give you a good idea of the power of knowing color personalities. (They’re in no particular order)

First there is Yellow. Yellow’s make up 35% of the population and are open and indirect with their feelings. They are the best at using both sides of their brains. They are relationship and family orientated, logical, analytical and teamwork is very important to them.

Yellows have jobs like teachers, social workers usually any nurturing job. They like giving back to others. They don’t like pushy people, aggressiveness, sudden change or animal cruelty.

Some of their weaknesses are. They are over sensitive, take things personally and will buy other peoples excuses.

Talk to a yellow slowly and relaxed and let them know they are appreciated.

Next is Blue (that’s me). Blues make up 15% of the population. Blues are open and direct with their feelings. Very right brained, talk fast, very creative, must have fun doing things. Strong on family and relationships, spontaneous and enthusiastic.

Blues have jobs like sales (of any kind), singer songwriter anything that is creative.

They don’t like not having fun, fact and figures and being sold.

Their weaknesses are being unorganized, scattered and poor savers.

When you talk to a blue focus on fun, talk about excitement. Never try to sell a blue.

The MLM Logical Side.

Next is Greens. Greens make up 35% of the population. They are indirect and self-contained with their feelings. Right brained, very logical, and analytical. Precise and need to have all the facts and figures. They are savers. Organized, task orientated and accurate. Let’s get the kids to college. They’re the best negotiators.

Some of their jobs include, engineers, accountants, CPA, professor. Anything to do with logic and reasoning.

They don’t like pushy people. Not having all the facts and figures. Not being on time, aggressiveness. Get depressed easily and are hard to please.

Some of their weaknesses are, they over analyze everything (to death). Hard to please and pessimistic about everything.

When speaking to a green, give them the facts and figures. You cannot overload a green with information.

And finally the Reds. Reds make up 15% of the population. Reds are direct and self-contained with their feelings. Reds are right brained. Their slogan is “It’s my way or the highway” Forceful, stern and to the point. No chitchat, money is power, take action. Task orientated, Impatient, un-teachable, show me the money.

Their jobs consist of being CEO’s, Attorneys, military leaders, and president of the bank.

Reds do not like losing control, indecision, small talk or crying. They don’t like talking about time freedom, family or vacations.

Some of their weaknesses are having a big ego, domineering and un-teachable.

When you talk to a red you need to let them think you need them. They like being sold, close them, focus on money, and stroke their ego. Talk about your leaders income.

The MLM Realities of Success Colors.

Now everything I just outlined about the different color personalities is not a judgment it’s who people are.

Just imagine if you had this information the next time you talked to a prospect? How do you think your next call would go?

So the next time you’re talking to someone and they say something in a certain tone or way. Or ask you a question. You’ll know exactly why they’re acting the way they are and why they are asking the questions they do.

Instead of taking things personally or getting frustrated, you’ll say to yourself “Hey you’re suppose to act like that or say that because you’re a green” (pick a color)

Master this one skill and your Network marketing business life and personal life will skyrocket. Guaranteed!!!

Until Next Time.

To your success,
Duffy Rogan

MLM Network Marketing Training -MLM Direct Sales Perseverence

MLM Network Marketing Training -MLM Direct Sales Perseverence

[MLM] Persistence is kind of like water. You need it if you ever are going to get something to boil.”

Thomas Jefferson

 

Ever watch water boil?

Is boring at first, but eventually the bubbles show up, (much like a Network Marketing business) and the steam starts, and the boiling begins. But the heat had to be consistent, and never wavering.

It is the same with the heat of success.

And the heat of Winning.

And the Heat of Victory.

And the heat of a Direct Sales Fire!

The Fire of MLM Success.

If you want anything in your life to boil, and create some HOT success in your MLM Business, then you must be consistent and never wavering.

Constant heat and Constant focus.

Either you are cooking in life…

or end up cooked.

Well????

MLM Network Marketing Training-The Secrets to Conquering Fear in MLM.

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training-The Secrets to Conquering Fear in MLM.

 

The Greatest Threat in MLM.

Our greatest threat to success is within US — not ‘out there’.

— It’s FEAR that keeps us from even ‘trying’.

— It’s FEAR that keeps us from taking ‘risks’ (ACTION).

— It’s FEAR that causes us to QUIT – to give up (on our jobs / careers / businesses / education / relationships / marriages.

So what can we DO about that lethal enemy, FEAR? I’ll suggest some steps…

1) I believe the first thing that is imperative for us to understand – and accept is the principle that “whatever we RESIST — will PERSIST”.

I believe that the more we “resist” FEAR – and try to directly “overcome” it – the stronger it gets. The more “attention” we give it – the more it “grows”.

Think about it — it’s like the alien ‘Borg’ in the Star Trek movies – who assimilated other races – announcing: “Resistance is futile!” — This is especially true of FEAR – our resistance is futile. If we resist FEAR – it has “won” – and we have “lost”.

So I believe that the first step in dealing with FEAR is to “accept” it — “embrace” it – “experience” it, fully. I think we should just let it BE there – and discover that FEAR by itself, cannot hurt or kill us. It is just “there” – like the SKY and the OCEAN (and INLAWS) are – ‘just there’.

In fact, I say that FEAR itself is not even bad – except when we “allow” it to limit and control us. We then ‘rip ourselves off’ -and we live a small life. We can even miss our destiny, because of this.

The MLM Darkness.

2) The second step in my view is to see FEAR as a form of ‘darkness’.

How do we rid ourselves of darkness?

Do we fight it – resist it -curse it?

NO — we just let it BE there – and then we simply turn on the LIGHT. The light overcomes the darkness (as long as it is turned ON).

Light is analogous to FAITH – so when we turn on the faith – the FEAR disappears (or at least the ‘power’ of FEAR is disabled). We build an unshakable FAITH – that we’re in the RIGHT place – at the RIGHT time – with the RIGHT Opportunity / Company / Products / Pay Plan / System / Team.

So how do we keep the FAITH (light) ON?

Well, I suggest that CONFIDENCE is much the same as faith. So we create faith by harnessing the past, present and future. Also, since faith seems to be ‘contagious’ – if we ‘associate with’ others who have ‘greater’ faith than we have at the moment – we soon ‘catch’ it. It gets inside of us. In fact – WE then become contagious – so WE “infect” OTHERS with faith.

But what do we do if FEAR just ‘keeps coming back’?

We just keep ‘turning on’ the FAITH.

We should not feel we need to get ‘rid of’ FEAR . We don’t need to. It’s always around (like the trees / lakes). It can even be our TEACHER (we should never let it become our MASTER).

Where do FEAR and FAITH come from?

The Source of Network Marketing Fear.

I believe that both have the same source — our IMAGINATION.

I believe that WE generate or create either one.

We tend to think that FEAR or FAITH come from the “outside” – but actually, they do not even exist for us -unless we CREATE them. There are ‘many’ FEARS that tend to haunt us — illness — money — getting old — failure — you name it.

What about the FEAR OF ‘REJECTION’ (another of our greatest FEARS)?

This FEAR is very real – and it paralyzes most people. But the real problem is not the “rejection” – it is the FEAR of rejection. I believe this FEAR of rejection is something WE create. It is not ‘real’.

How can we ‘overcome’ this FEAR of Rejection in MLM?

We should just face the TRUTH. That’s it – the truth is, that there IS ‘no’ actual REJECTION in this business -even though there is a huge FEAR of rejection. Here’s my evidence…

If I’m “sharing the GIFT” of product – or my BIZ OPP with you – and you tell me that you are “not interested” -or that you think that Network Marketing is stupid – or that it is a scam, or whatever – I may tell myself that I was just REJECTED.

BUT – here’s what actually happened:

— I told you what I believed
— You told me your opinion
— It was different than my opinion
— I made up that you REJECTED me

So where IS the rejection?

The Truth of Fear in MLM.

The TRUTH is – all that happened was that there was a DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. There was NO rejection. The REJECTION part would be something I ‘made up’. The only time I might be REJECTED would be if you said to me – “Peter, I reject you”. Okay, now I “have” been rejected. But how often does that ever happen?

Unless I am told directly – “I reject YOU” – there is NO ‘rejection’ going on. The only “rejection” is what I made up – what I IMAGINED. And with this – I “disempower” myself.

Someone may say – maybe the person just didn’t SAY it – but he ‘was’ actually rejecting you. So let’s check it out. I ask you – “are you rejecting me?” – You are going to say – “No, I’m not rejecting YOU – I’m just rejecting what you SAID (I have a different opinion).

“The TRUTH is – it doesn’t even ‘matter’ whether or not I am rejected – because it is the FEAR that is the problem. Even if you did reject ME, so what? – Am I injured? – Will I die?

If we can just see the TRUTH – that there is no ‘rejection’ anyway -we have nothing to FEAR – just like in the movie – The Matrix -“there is no spoon” (you have to see the movie.).

The MLM Bottom Line.

BOTTOM LINE – let’s choose to create FAITH instead of creating FEAR.

Like the exasperated mother said to her disobedient little boy—”I brought you into the world, and I can take you out!”

Any FEAR that we have – WE created it. So we can “un-create” it – by creating FAITH that instantly “displaces” it.

Let’s choose an environment – and people – that are congruent with – and support –FAITH.

We are ALL ‘susceptible’ to FEAR — and we can ALL ‘become’ people of great FAITH.

We need to remember always, that ==> the two CANNOT co-exist.

It’s our OWN choice.

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Recruiting-How Do You Recruit People in MLM?

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Recruiting-How Do You Recruit People in MLM?

 

The MLM Recruiting Question.

I get this question a lot.

And the answer is I don’t recruit people, people recruit themselves.

Now your saying…What?

I set goals each week. This week for example my plan is to talk to 7 people about my MLM business opportunity. But I may need to talk to 20 people to find those 7 to talk to.

What do I mean?

I listen to people.

I listen to people.

One more time…

I listen to people.

If I here someone talking about how their having financial troubles (who isn’t). I would say something like this to them.

“Have you thought about doing something about it?”

If they answer “No”. And many people will say no, I forget about them. Why would I want to convince someone they may need my help. Most people do, but most people don’t want it, and that’s just fine. That is all part of mlm recruiting.

The MLM Recruiting Secret.

I’m only looking for people that want my help.

So if a person says “Yes”. They have just raised their hand and said “I’m looking for help”.

Plus I have been given permission by them to give them a presentation. I have over 10 different presentations I could give, but of course I have my favorite one.

You see, by only talking to people that raise their hand I have rejection free prospecting. And I can tell you that’s a lot better then being on the phone for 10 hours a day hearing the word no and waiting for that yes.

That is NOT network marketing recruiting success.

Three MLM Recruiting Secrets.

To save yourself a lot of aggravation here’s what I suggest.

1) Start listening to people. Listen for people that say to you “I’m Ready”

2) Set weekly goals of how many people your going to talk to, and I mean give a full presentation of your opportunity.

3) Only talk to people that raise their hand to you and say “I’m Ready”.

Remember no matter how you cut it, it’s a numbers game for Success.

But you have to decide, do you want to work hard or work smart.

Until next time.

To Your MLM Success

MLM Network Marketing Training – Who can Start an MLM Home Business?

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training – Who can Start an MLM Home Business?

The Million Dollar MLM Question.

Anyone with a desire or urge to start an MLM Home Based Business can venture into this field. All you need is a computer and who has not got one or access to one these days? An elementary knowledge of the working of a computer and the Internet is sufficient to get started. Many things can be picked up as you progress. This is what most of the people do.

The beauty of this MLM Internet Home Business is that Age and Sex , Race and Religion are no barriers. It is sans borders. Entrepreneurs living in any part of the world can participate in thousands of Affiliate programs that are either Regional or Global in nature.

There are many programs that are Free to join! In fact there are several Affiliate programs that provide Entrepreneurs with Free Websites and Tools too. You could have your own personal website if you are prepared to spend a few dollars.

Why?

The MLM Reasons.

This is a pertinent question indeed! Some of the reasons for starting a Network Marketing Home Based Business are:

1. A desire to earn an Additional income to supplement the monthly income.
2. A desire to run your own home business and not depend on your Boss’s pay packet.
3. Dissatisfaction with your present Boss or your employment.
4. Being out of work or laid off.
5. Circumstances forcing you to be with the family or ageing parents.
6. A Childhood ambition to have your own business.

When?

You can start a Home Based Business at any age, It can be at twenty, fifty or even at seventy. What matters most is that you have to be sufficiently motivated and have the urge and desire to do it.

Allocating two hours a day for your cherished dream should not be difficult to start with. In fact about twenty hours a week would be useful and advantageous. I am aware of people who have retired from active work but are keeping themselves gainfully occupied by doing an Internet Home Based Business.

To be successful in life you should have a Plan, more so for your Internet Business Opportunity. Draw up a short term and a long term plan for what you intend to achieve. Initially draw up a Plan for the first three months to start with and try to stick with it, come what may.

While you are at the computer, Pop ups and other advertisements can and will divert your attention from your objective. Do not run after the goose that is going to lay the golden egg for you and waste your valuable time.

Top Network Marketers.

Top Marketers are brilliant people who spend much time and money in researching how to divert your attention and I can tell you, they are not going to fail! I should know! I have been in the marketing business for several years though not in the internet field . Hence you should remain completely focused on your work.

Where?

Unlike in a brick and mortar business, to operate a Business from home, the Home Based Business Entrepreneur needs no separate building. Your physical place of business will be your very home and no high start up fees is necessary. The computer can be set up wherever you like so that it is convenient to work with and free from noises and distraction.

Your success will to some extent depend on the support you receive from the members of your family. The spouse can be of great assistance by reading and researching resources and articles and doing a lot of other preliminary work, which can substantially reduce the number of hours you have to spend on the computer. In other words your spouse can be your partner in your MLM Home Based Business.

The greatest benefit of this Internet Business Opportunity is that it works twenty-four hours(24/7) a day and is Portable. Wherever you travel, within the country or to any part of the world your Business travels with you. You have to carry your lap top along, that’s it. Otherwise find access to a computer. It is as simple as that.

Why wait?

Start working on your Home Based Business seriously. Work at Home, Work from Home or Work away from Home and reap the benefits the Internet Revolution has showered on you, the Internet Entrepreneur of MLM.
