MLM Three Stooges.

Do you know a Home business stooge that you may be prospecting for your network marketing business?

Are you familiar with the Three Stooges?

How would you like to learn how they can possibly play into your home based business?

I love PR and Local Media for a home business. You can get an enormous amount of prospects and exposure for your business. That is here the Three Stooges come in.

Marsha Friedman who is an incredible PR expert, has this really cool post about the Three Stooges and PR,  but is SO applicable to a home business and your prospects, as well as your mlm team.

This is a FUN post, and I know you are going to enjoy it. Here is a home business strategy wrapped around the Three Stooges…

Don’t  be a Stooge When it Comes to Marketing

Article  at a glance:

If you hire a PR firm, let it do its  job.
Go ahead and make waves – get   noticed!
Never believe “no one’s interested in you.”

The guys I know are all looking forward to The Three Stooges remake opening  in theaters this weekend. They think Moe, Larry and Curly’s  harebrained schemes, silly missteps, and thwacks, smacks and blindside attacks are hysterically funny.

Heck, I don’t need to go to the movies for slapstick – I’ve got men in my life!   (Kidding, of course.)

Everyone – yes, women, to – can be a stooge now and then. Lifelong “Stooges” fan Alex  Hinojosa, our senior campaign manager at EMSI, says if you  watch enough of their films, you start seeing their  personalities in the people you meet. And just like on the big screen, the Moes, Larrys and Curlys of the world get  themselves into loads of trouble. It happens all the time with  PR.

The Moe:   

He’s the client who knows everything. (So why on earth did he hire PR professionals?) Moe will bark and bang and bully to get things done his (or her) way even though he’s never coordinated a media campaign, never worked in radio, TV or newspapers and doesn’t know a tweet from a twit.

He’s the client who insists on rewriting his media pitches because he thinks they should be longer and more detailed. (Succinct communications are what catch the attention of busy journalists and show hosts, but he disagrees.) He insists his angle is  much more likely to interest a talk show host, even though  he’s never hosted a talk show. Would you perform surgery on yourself? Moe would! And, with disastrous results!

If you’re going to be a Moe, at least get a better haircut.

The Larry:

Easygoing and passive, he doesn’t want to stir up controversy or offend anyone. No matter what the medium, he  insists on appealing only to audiences and show hosts that already agree with his message, so he misses out on the opportunity to win over new fans – and their friends.

The Larrys are also easily  forgotten. If they won’t do, say or write anything provocative  during their marketing campaign, they won’t engage their audience, which means few will remember them.

The Larrys tend to quietly  go along with everything their PR agency suggests. They don’t  ask questions when they have them and they don’t contribute  their ideas. Their campaigns may be a bit lackluster, because  they’re afraid they’ll bother somebody if they actively participate.

The Curly:

He’s the star of the stooges – and he doesn’t even  know it. The Curlys are the clients with great stories,  powerful messages and a big lack of self-awareness. “Why would  anyone want to interview me?” they ask.

In truth, everyone has a  great story and a pro will find it and use it. Nothing breaks  my heart more than to hear someone tell me, “I was with an agency and I paid them thousands of dollars, but all I got was one mention in a weekly paper in Boondocks, Idaho. No one’s  interested in me.”

What a cruel blow to a  person’s self-esteem! PR companies that tell you “no one’s   interested” are really saying, “We didn’t get results, so we’re blaming you.”

Yes, your message, the  energy and interesting content you bring to the media and the  quality of your book or product will determine whether you ultimately meet all of your goals. But don’t believe for a minute that no one’s interested in you. It’s simply not  true.

From what Alex tells me  the actor who played Curly in the original “Stooges” was painfully insecure in real life. That led to heavy drinking,  overeating and other self-destructive behaviors, which took a  terrible toll on his health. He suffered a stroke in 1946,  never fully recovered and died six years later. Such a sad end for a man who made so many people laugh.

The Three Stooges  makes for great entertainment on the big screen, but if you  want a successful media campaign, don’t be a stooge! When you’ve hired a team of professionals with a strong  track record and plenty of years in the business, trust them.  Let them do their jobs.

Be ready to participate in your campaign by asking questions, sharing ideas and providing  any materials or information that might be useful.

And remember, you do have  a story that others want to hear. You’re no less important   than the next guy.  Don’t make me knock you over the head with a dead fish for you to believe that!

See you at the movies!

MLM Social Media- The 7 Power Branding Questions for Creating a Personal Brand

April 12, 2012 by 4 Comments
mlm social media

home business social media

The 7 Power Branding Questions for Personal Branding.

There are certain Social Media Trainings that you must have for a network marketing home business-are you aware of that?

Do you know the 7 Power Branding Questions you ask for a Powerful Personal Brand?

Would you like to learn them for your mlm business?

We have taught so many aspects of social media for network marketing and home business the last 6 years, including some exclusive trainings like:

 

1)   Power Branding on social sites.

2)   Multiple Branding Channels ™

3)   Partial Branding when needed.

4)   Emotional Branding through Value.

5)   The 5 Anchors of Branding.

6)   Branding your meme.

7)   Connection Marketing.™

 

What is Connection Marketing?

It is a series of powerful marketing strategies that combine the Power of Connecting
with people and the branding of your MARK with them which heavily influences their
perception of you. Developing relationships is what Leadership is all about. It is also the basis for recruiting and building a team. Your Personal Brand comes from first CONNECTING with people. Then from that connection, help them ON PURPOSE, developing a particular opinion or perception (or MARK) about you.

Just as cattle is branded with a MARK that identifies who they are, you need to brand a
MARK in the marketplace that goes before you, stays on people’s minds, and follows you when people think or talk about you. This MARK identifies their perception and your reputation that is in their mind and has “marked” you every time they think of you- good or bad.

 That is why a great Brand is so necessary in today’s market. It will set you apart and in some instances elevate you above all the rest in people’s perception of who you
are and what you have to offer.

Million Dollar Question:

How do you develop a Brand in the social media market as well as your own market? There is
no way that we can cover that here, as it is an 8 hour workshop that we do LIVE
to help people reposition themselves in the marketplace.

But there is something we train on that we call “The 7 Word Branding Plan.”™

Let’s very briefly cover this 8 hour seminar to see what MARK you want to leave into
the marketplace.

Let’s ask some questions that will help you FOCUS on developing a brand that will work.

1)   What ONE WORD do you want people to think when they think of you?

2)   What ONE IMAGE do you want people see when you cross their mind?

3)   What ONE FEELING do you want people to feel when they think of you?

4)   What ONE PERCEPTION do you want out in the marketplace that goes before you?

5)   What ONE THOUGHT do you want in people’s minds about you?

6)   What ONE RESULT do you want people to think of when they think of you?

7)   What ONE EXPECTATION do you want people to be looking for when they think of you?

Now, write your answers down and take a look at the 7 words.

What do they have in common?

What one thing do they all connect to?

That is the start of your Brand that can  elevate you above all the rest in the market place when prospecting and recruiting.

If you followed this exercise, you will have started a UBM- a:

Unique Branding Mark

– that people will start to remember and connect to. That is why it is called “Connection Marketing.” People buy often from you because of their initial perception and connection to you, and how you are making them feel. That is why your UBM must elicit trust and make people feel glad they heard about you, found out about you, or talked with you.

If you take a look at the word BRAND – it simply stands for: – (and THIS should be
your focus and goal for your brand)

Bringing (to) Remembrance A Niche (that) Delights

Every time people think of you, you want them to think of YOU and your NICHE that you have carved out that makes them smile and direct them to a thought, image, or movement.

They are delighted that you exist because of your brand. They are delighted to refer people to you. They are delighted to tell people about you. They are delighted to do business with you. And they are delighted to stick with you, because they love the brand that you have marked out in the marketplace.

If you are having trouble recruiting or prospecting, then it may be the brand that people
are seeing. It may be sending out all the wrong messages.

Here is an interesting discussion: “If you are sending out the wrong message
about yourself unknowingly, you are going to get the consequences of that,
unwittingly. Your brand is who you want people to remember- and in some
instances, forget. Be careful of the silent message you are sending out. It can
destroy your business if you are not careful.

 Many people unknowingly send silent signals out to people and that forms a not so good image in the minds of folks. That is not what you want. Your brand is your calling card and reputation. Keep it clean, powerful, and memorable. Make sure they get an emotional jolt when they think of you that makes them feel good- not a jolt that does the opposite.”

 Work on how you are perceived, and what you are known for– Especially if you
are getting on the social media path. It will make all the difference in the world with your recruiting and prospecting.

Branding is a MUST in all respects in social media. We can teach you how to develop a million dollar brand. All you have to do is learn how to develop YOU as a valuable commodity in the marketplace.

Then unleash your brand into the world for your mlm network marketing home business!

MLM Prospecting Tips- 4 Little Known MLM Prospecting Secrets

April 11, 2012 by 2 Comments

MLM Prospecting Tips.

Do you prospect for new leads for your home business?

How do you prospect for your leads in your network marketing business?

Would you like to learn 4 little known mlm prospecting tips that will ROCK your home business?

Here are 4 mlm prospecting tips:

MLM Prospecting Tip # 1

In any social conversation, phone conversation, IM conversation, text conversation, skype conversation, webinar conversation, public meeting and prsentation, use the prospect’s or guest’s name. If you are at an in home meeting, hotel meeting, or luncheon meeting, Introduce yourself to them before the meeting starts. Even on a webinar, tell the prospect you are glad that they are there.”

 Sweet sweet music.

It sounds like a symphony of sweet violins and cellos playing in harmony together.

It sounds like 5 part perfect harmony.

It sounds like a baby’s first cry.

It sounds like a summer night’s beautiful orchestra.

It is PURE PERFECTION in communication.

Ok…what is it?

THEIR NAME.

The prospect’s sweetest sound to their ears will always be their name. And that is why you need to USE IT and USE IT OFTEN.

Nothing keeps a prospect or audience focused more than using their names in the Network Marketing conversation or even a presentation.

They will all sit up and take notice and be especially attentive and alert to you.

And on social media, ask the person if they have a great name, where that name came from. Draw them in with the sweetness of their name.

And THAT is POWER PROSPECTING!

Success in prospecting is nothing more than deciding to become that. YOU are an incredible prospector.

You must simply live into that truth.

 

 MLM Prospecting Tip # 2.

 “Prospect where people are, not where you feel comfortable going. Prospect BEYOND your comfort level to take your business to a NEW level.”

 It is called a PROSPECTING RUT.

It is a rut that many people get in and never leave.

You continue to go and talk with people that you are comfortable with, but yet…

They never come into the business or buy a product.

You even go to the same comfortable places HOPING someone will talk with you, but yet, you never talked with them.

You go to the same stores.

You go to the same bank branch.

You go the same old places….no variation.

NOTE:  Ahem.

There are more prospects in facebook groups than you could imagine.

There are more great prospects in LinkedIn than you can imagine.

What? You do not feel comfortable with that kind of social online prospecting?

Ok…

There are more prospects in one Networking meeting at the Chamber of Commerce meeting then 10 movies you want to go see.

There are more prospects in a work at home show in your city than you can imagine.

There are more prospects in a mall working there than you can imagine.

 Fish where the whales are, not the minnows.

Prospecting for minnows is easier and makes great wholesale customers, but whales don’t get tossed and lost with every change of the tide.

 DID YOU GET THAT?

Leadership is YOU. Success is YOU. Achievement is YOU. You must allow yourself the reality of that to sink in. YOU are already that. You just have to make it REAL in your life. UNLEASH
YOUR Success!

MLM Prospecting Tip # 3

 When Prospecting, don’t just try and recruit your prospects. There is a much more powerful way to do it. Connect them to the amazing Possibilities of your business and connect that possibility to their DREAMS…and let them recruit themselves.”

 I really do not have anything else to say about this nugget.

Wow.

It really is that simple.

a. Find the Pain or Problem.

 b. Connect that Pain to your solution- your business.

 c. Then make the pain go away in their imagination – working
with you.

End of story.

All prospecting is, and will ever be, is connecting the prospects heart to the Hope and Possibility that they CAN have the life they have always dreamed of, and you will help them get it with your Network Marketing products and company.

It is that simple.

End of pain.

There is MORE inside of YOU.
Reach DOWN and pull the Greatness up and then DO what you have been putting
off. SUCCEED wildly with it. Then Let the nay-sayers know they were WRONG!  UNLEASH your Greatness!

MLM Prospecting Tip # 4

Quit Prospecting. Start Elevating. Lift people up first, and they will be more open and more drawn towards you. Encourage, Lift, and Pour Into the prospect all that your business
offers. Let them FEEL the business…not just hear about it.

There is a saying, “Pour it ON!”

I say, “Pour it OUT!”

 And “Pour It IN!”

The greatest secret to prospecting is not about numbers or keep talking to people or even “throw it up against the wall and see what sticks” which I abhor that statement.

It is about POURING INTO the Prospect the Hope and Possibility that their life can be what they have always have DREAMED working with you.

Pour in kind words.

Pour in compliments.

Pour in a solution to their pain.

Pour in your Leadership for them to follow.

Pour in your heart and CARE about what they want.

They will move from prospect to friend.

And it s so much easier to recruit a friend than a stranger.

 YOU are able to do ANY and ALL things. YOU just must believe you can. Life is waiting on you….what are YOU waiting for?

These are 4 Powerful MLM Prospecting Tips that will rock your MLM network marketing direct sales home business.

MLM Prospecting – 7 More MLM Prospecting Scripts NO ONE will Tell You

April 9, 2012 by 3 Comments

mlm recruiting secrets

mlm prospecting scripts

MLM Prospecting Scripts Training.

How do you approach people in your home business recruiting?

What words do you use when you are prospecting for your mlm or for your direct sales team?

Would you like to learn 7 powerful MLM Prospecting Scripts that have proven to WORK when you use them?

I am a big fan of certain types of mlm prospecting scripts, but I believe they must “FEEL” natural, normal, and non-threatening. many scripts out there come across like they are “prepared” and not off the cuff.

The secret to creating a successful prospecting script is to make it more Talking Points, and not just a long script.

Many mlm prospecting scripts are LONG and laborious. You must use Talking Points that are more “sound bytes” that can be used in ANY conversation.

And the other issue is that many scripts sound like they are READ or “agenda driven” whether online prospecting or social prospecting, or offline prospecting.

Here are 7 Powerful MLM Prospecting Scripts that can be used in ANY conversation that you may hold.

1. “If the Right Thing came Along…”

“Jesse- if the right thing came along, and you knew it was right for you– to increase your income-would you want to know about it?”

2. “Would you Turn it Down?”

“And I have an off the wall question. If someone showed you how to make an extra 8,000 this year helping people, would you turn it down?”

3. “The Economy is Impacting Everybody.”

“And I think you would agree that the economy is hammering everybody. What are you planning on doing about it? Are you keeping your options open?”

4. “Increasing Your Income.”

“I have a question. Does increasing your income this year interest / apply to you at all?”

5. “How Important to increase.”

“How important is it to you to increase significantly your income this year?  Why?  Do you have a sec?

6. “Has Anyone Told You?”

“Has anyone told you yet about the ABCD Company? Do you have a second-you need to know.”

7. “You’ll Appreciate.”

“Larry-you will appreciate me telling you this. Do you have a second? Let me share this with you.””

MLM prospecting scripts are used daily, and many are very effective, and some not so effective. These scripts or “Talking Points” are very powerful and need to be ROLE PLAYED.

You need to practice these scripts with someone and perfect them until you have them sounding absolutely a part of any conversation.

If you get these talking Points to that point, they will explode your mlm network marketing recruiting efforts for your home business.

MLM Recruiting- 5 Reasons Why Recruiting Audios/Videos Rock Your Business

April 8, 2012 by 15 Comments
mlm recruiting video and audio

mlm recruiting video home business

 

MLM Recruiting Audios and Videos.

Do you use audio and videos to recruit for your home based business?

How do you use them or are you even using them correctly in your network marketing efforts?

Would you like to know WHY you MUST use them in your network marketing business?

Audios and Videos for your mlm home business recruiting are critical. They are as important as the words you use yourself.

What kind of audios and videos can you use?

There are many of them available. There are audio podcasts, CDs, and mp3s that can be used for mlm recruiting. The videos that are available are numerous. Your company should have recruiting videos for you to use, and they should also be on DVD for you to carry with you.

The audio and video are nothing more than TOOLS that can be used for recruiting and building your business in direct sales QUICKLY and Powerfully.

There are many tools that are available to use, but there are really nothing better and more powerful than recruiting audios and videos. They can be used online and offline, and offer a way for you to get your message out in a professional way. They are great branding tools for your business as well.

WHY you use mlm recruiting audios and videos are numerous. Here are 5 HUGE reasons why you MUST use audios and videos.

1. MLM recruiting Audios offer a third party credibility.

Your home business company offers a third party credibility for you in your network marketing endeavors. Your company has put together audios and videos that can be used as a “credibility builder” for you if you are still building your credibility as a leader.

Your company has more credibility with the mlm prospect as the recruiting audio/video is usually done with an “unbiased” approach by someone who tells the story of your company.

2. MLM Recruiting Audios/Videos can say it with a different perspective.

Recruiting videos and audios can offer a totally different perspective, as often they can look like mini television shows and can be quite engaging. The audios often have pumped up music and a voice that is engaging and a story that rocks. 
 
It is a powerful way to let the prospect HEAR and SEE the story of your company from a third party perspective that can be very powerful.

3. MLM Recruiting Audios/Videos can be in 25 places at once.

MLM recruiting audios and videos allow you to be 25 places at one. They allow you to do a presentation in multiple places AT THE SAME TIME. Look at mlm recruiting audios and videos as “little employees” that can go out and tell your story, and do it in a way that can help recruit prospects – 25 at a time.
 
These recruiting tools really do help you MULTIPLY your presence and results in amazing ways.
 
And you can have 25 DIFFERENT presentations being done in one night, or one week, depending on how fast you want to move.
 

4. Audios are a great duplicable activity.

MLM recruiting audios and videos are very easy to duplicate as far as activity. They are easily learned as far as how to approach people, and often it is a “Push-Play” scenario. Push the listen or watch button and listen to it or watch it PLAY.
 
These are great for the new distributor as it is EASY to do, and very effective in telling the story of the company, products, and business.
 
Anyone can hand out or send an audio or video. Thus, it can be learned and done by just about anyone, and then taught to be done as well.

5. MLM Recruiting Audios/Videos move the senses and imagination.

One of the most powerful reasons why videos and audios work in recruiting for your home busness is because it ENGAGES THE IMAGINATION. Videos and audios can PAINT a POWERFUL picture, and do it with music, actors, scripts, and imagination. Often, mlm recruiting audios and videos can evoke the emotion of HOPE and POSSIBILITY that can MOVE the prospect to curiosity.
 
This will move them to ask questions and want more information. This can move the prospect into the Recruiting Funnel and they can then transform into a customer or distributor.
 
If you are not using recruiting audios or videos, I would suggest you START. Nothing can build your mlm business faster than mlm network marketing recruiting audio and video tools.

MLM Training- 7 Powerful Team Building Tips NO ONE Will Tell You

April 6, 2012 by 15 Comments
mlm network marketing team building

mlm home business team building

 

MLM Team Building.

Team building in network marketing and home business is a MUST, would you agree?

Would you like to know 7 tips that will help you build a more powerful team?

Have you experienced a lot of attrition on your team?

Would you like to stop it?

Team building requires leadership.

Many people TALK leadership, but few actually DO leadership. Leadership and team building go hand in hand. They are a powerful team, and without them, you will have no enduring business.

Many distributors in their success pursuit, think that the team will bill build itself.

It will not. YOU must be methodical in your team building, step by step.

Here are 7 powerful MLM team building tips:

1. Communicate daily with your team with NEW Ideas.

New ideas on how to succeed in network marketing or direct sales is critical. You just FEED their HOPE of Success with “Hope Food” and that comes with new ideas. New ideas of recruiting, prospecting, social media, mobile recruiting, and much more. One New Idea can EXPLODE your team’s Success.

2. LOVE your Team to Success.

My wife, Jodi Andros, who has been in network marketing for 16 years, says this all the time. She says that you must LOVE your team to Success. Let them know you appreciate their efforts, and their time. Let them know with cards, special emails, and also videos sent to them that are personal and encouraging . Love them to Success.

3. Develop the Team Culture with every Communication.

Team identity is critical. You MUST develop the culture, the “feel,” the image of your team. Teams that have a culture not only produce more, but also endure longer as the culture becomes a part of “who they are.”

4. Praise Great Effort, not just Great Results.

Effort is one of the greatest building tools you can use for your team. Yes, Results will always RULE. But GREAT effort is not far behind, as that is what eventually PRODUCES great results. Recognize the great effort, and you are sowing seeds of great results for your home business direct sales team. Recognize great phone calls, appointments set, meetings done, and conference calls and webinars done great.

5. Take Your team to Events and Make a Statement.

Don’t expect your team to go to Regionals, or even National Conferences. TAKE THEM. Set goals and a plan for going, and then go together. Let your team KNOW that you ARE a team, go as a team, and sit as a team. Our Leaders sat with their leaders EVERY event and built that Team Identity every events.

6. Get Your team REALLY Connected to Corporate.

One of the BEST ways to reduce attrition on your team, is to get them connected to your company’s Corporate Team. Have them get to know some folks in customer service and distributor services. Have your Leaders get to know the folks that can HELP them and solve problems. And also, it lets’ Corporate know who YOUR Leaders are as well. This will help your new people be CONNECTED to the Vision of Corporate as well.

7. Build Leaders, don’t just BE One.

Building Leaders is THE single most important action you can take in this profession. Yes, recruiting is critical as well as retailing the product. But if you do not BUILD LEADERS, you will not multiply your team. Duplication will help get your team get started, but Multiplication will get your team GROWING. You do this by building Leaders. Teach them Leadership. Give them Leadership tasks to perform. Believe in them. That is THE Golden Leadership Secret.

These are 7 Powerful Team Building tips for your mlm home based business.

MLM Training- The Power of Pinterest Traffic for your Home Business!

Is Pinterest Traffic Worthless?

4

How would you like to discover the Power of Pinterest for your mlm home business?
 
Would having an understandinf of what kind of traffic you can build with Pinterest be of worth for your network marketing home business?
 
Here is a powerful post by copyblogger on Pinterest Traffic which I DEARLY loved for network marketing and home based  business.
 
And I am a big fan of the copyblogger site and newsletter, so I highly recommend that you check it out as I have learned a lot the last 4 years from Brian and his team.
 
Here is the post for your work at home business and Pinterest:
 
You’ve seen tons of articles raving about it.

How it’s driving more traffic than anything in the known universe. How you need to be “pinning” and have “pinnable stuff” or you’re going to fail at this magical new social network. How it’s the greatest thing since, well, the last greatest thing.

And you want someone to be straight with you. So here’s the truth …

Pinterest traffic is worthless.

But so is all traffic — unless you do something with it.

Seeing patterns that aren’t there

The problem with most of what’s being written about Pinterest traffic is that it’s pointing out the wrong things. What passes for “reporting” is someone opening Google Analytics, seeing a spike in referrals from Pinterest, and writing an “OMG! Lots of Traffic” post.

Very few are taking the time to do any due diligence on the larger picture.

Are people clicking through, or is the “traffic” just a remote call to the pinned image? Where are your visitors going? What are they doing?

You have to ask real questions, and look for real answers, not patterns based on what others think they’re seeing.

And the wonderful thing about running a business online is that almost everything is testable, trackable, and adjustable.

What’s really going on with Pinterest traffic?

Data doesn’t lie (at least when you’re using it correctly).

Understanding your data — traffic, patterns, and conversions — is critical to your content marketing strategy.  Especially when it comes to a new traffic source.

At Copyblogger Media, much of what we do is guided by data — traffic patterns, market analysis, feedback, customer input, and conversion scenarios.

And the increased Pinterest traffic we receive is treated no differently.

We watch, track, analyze, and correlate to figure out how best to capitalize on this new traffic source. Here are a few things we’ve discovered …

Traffic:

  • In the last three months (Jan 1-Mar 28), Pinterest helped traffic grow on each of our sites.
  • For Copyblogger, Pinterest was the #3 referring website, bested only by Facebook and Twitter.
  • Between January 1st and March 5th, when the 15 Grammar Goofs That Make You Look Silly infographic was posted, Pinterest sent close to 15,000 visits. Based on the number of times it was pinned, this told us that fewer than half of the people who pinned the image actually clicked through.
  • In the week following that infographic, Pinterest sent 2.7 times as much traffic as the three months before.
  • Individual post activity seems to hold a long shelf life when it’s popular on Pinterest. Often, a tweet is lifeless within a day, where a pin can continue pulling traffic for weeks after being published.
  • During this same three-month period, Pinterest was the #29 referring site for StudioPress.
  • While the amount of raw Pinterest traffic — the number of visits — is smaller for StudioPress than for Copyblogger, visitors to StudioPress stay much longer and visit more pages on average. For example, the average visit duration for a Pinterest-referred visitor on Copyblogger is 0:00:32, compared to an average of 0:05:28 on StudioPress.
  • Pinterest visitors check out 1.16 pages on average after clicking through to Copyblogger, compared to 6.34 pages on StudioPress.
  • The bounce rate for Pinterest visitors on Copyblogger averages out to 91.7%, StudioPress is 49.9% on average. This is much higher than our site averages, and higher than most other traffic sources.

Visitor Flow:

  • Infographic pins have exceptionally high bounce rates and very short visits, usually less than a minute. However, other pins (such as the 56 Ways to Market Your Business on Pinterest post) that led to straight copy had much longer visits and lower bounce rates.
  • On that Pinterest marketing post, the majority went on to the main page, followed by the Internet Marketing for Smart People, Genesis, and SEO site quality pages.
    Check Out Your URL
  • On days when Pinterest activity was particularly high, traffic increased to each of our product sites from Copyblogger.
  • 89.6% of Pinterest-referred visitors to Copyblogger were new to the site. Only 44.4% of Pinterest referrals on StudioPress brought new visitors.
  • The StudioPress top Pinterest-pulling post included an infographic about How Developers are Driving the Business Adoption of WordPress.
  • The vast majority of other StudioPress popular pins were all themes or showcase websites. These pins, on average, showed very low bounce and exit rates, with most continuing on to the themes page, the showcase, the blog, or the features page.
  • On average, they also showed fewer new visitors, which historically correlates with low bounce rates on our properties.

OK, so what does all of this mean for you?

In short, it means:

  1. You need to have specific goals for using the traffic from Pinterest.
  2. Work with the traffic as you would from any source — driving it to landing pages and through a conversion path.

For example, we’ve optimized certain pages on Copyblogger to drive visitors to our list and product pages. We’ve found that the traffic from Pinterest can be also driven to those sources, if a clear call to action is present.

On StudioPress, optimizing showcase pages to drive traffic to the related themes has shown an increase of on-page time and conversions — especially for repeat visitors.

So, even though the traffic from Pinterest for StudioPress was much lower than for Copyblogger, the overall bounce rate was also lower, on-page time was higher, and conversions were better because the path was more predictable.

Armed with that data, we can better utilize the traffic on all of our sites through tracking and testing.

And so can you.

Our analysis shows us a number of best practices for converting Pinterest traffic:

  • Infographics and smaller images command more click-throughs because they’re unreadable from the Pinterest site.
  • Infographic headlines are key to getting people to click through.
  • Compelling subjects covered with too-small-for-Pinterest font choices are ideal.
  • People who do move around your site upon arrival will likely follow a predictable path (for example: a showcase theme pin leads to a page path that is more likely to start with the themes gallery than the blog).
  • You can control how traffic responds by making a specific call to action on your pin’s landing page.
  • Longer visits on pins that bring repeat traffic is an important metric, since on commerce-driven sites you may need to get someone to your page a few times before they buy.
  • Pinterest doesn’t sell stuff — you do. By funneling the traffic properly, you can convert visitors into customers.

Traffic from any source is only worthwhile if you have specific goals for it. You can use Pinterest for customer engagement, personal branding,  or as an entry point to your conversion funnel.

This is a great post on Pinterest and I found it fascinating. I would encourage you to check out how to recruit on Pinterest with Pinterest Recruiting! This is only one of many posts that will be coming for your Pinterest Recruiting education for your mlm home based business.

MLM Training- Why You MUST Embrace Personal Branding NOW

April 4, 2012 by 15 Comments

 

mlm network marketing

mlm home business

 

MLM Personal Branding.

Are you doing anything to help you in Personal Branding for your mlm home business?

Would you like to discover some Personal Branding Secrets for your work at home business?

Would that help your mlm network marketing business?

You MUST understand the Power of “Connection Marketing” and the Power of Personal Branding today.

 This is so important.

 Used to be that you could set yourself apart just from your product you were selling.

 You know- ding-dong-Avoncalling.

 But those days are gone. Today you must be so much more sophisticated in your approach to your marketing. And you must be aware that you are marketing 2 products:

 1)   WHAT you market to the consumer.

2)   WHO you market to the consumer.

 And there was a time that used to be that the product was more important than the marketer.

THAT has changed.

 ALOT.

 Even mlm recruiting and mlm prospecting have changed as it has become more technology driven, and software driven in many instances. But the secret to powerful recruiting and prospecting still lies within the perception and initial emotion that folks are getting about you and feeling from you.

 Your personality weighs heavily in the mix. Over time, things in direct marketing seemed to have moved from the message – to the messenger. Yes, the message is THE reason you are in business, but the messenger is becoming more and more of what determines the actual business success. Network Marketing is becoming a messenger driven model of Leadership, with the brand of the messenger being the dominant factor.

Today, the marketer is as important if not MORE important than the product.

 Why?

 Good question. With the advent of technology, there now is so much more importance on WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU ARE KNOWN FOR than used to be. Products used to be enough.

Not now.

The concept of Personal Branding has taken a hold and the social media has helped in bringing that to the forefront.

 Your reputation, your image in people’s mind, your emotions that you catalyze when people think of you, and how they perceive you in the marketplace before you get there is your Personal Brand.

 Let’s listen to what my mentor says:

 “There was a time that the product was everything in Network Marketing and that was all you needed. A good, solid product that would do what you said it would do. But then things changed, evolved, and transformed. More and more information became easier to get to – and get to quicker– concerning the products and what they REALLY do. It became available via technology like the fax, voice mail, and then came internet.

 “And because of that, checking people out became easier as well. WHO the person was became valuable information for the consumer if they had any questions. And the old adage consumers buy the person first – THEN the item, is so true. Reputation became ultra important. It was later transformed into what is now called Branding. Branding is a nice word for the reputation and image that you want have in the marketplace. And that has become one of the single biggest marketing factors to hit the scene in years. And there is even an industry birthed from it with ‘branding coaches.’ Things have changed. And that is why the future millionaires in our industry are going to be great at branding themselves and products into the marketplace.

 “When people think of you, there are three things that they will be paying attention to:

 1) What they are FEELING then they think of you.

2) What picture they SEE when they think of you.

3) What past EXERIENCES they have had concerning you- either in person or from a third party source.

 “From these three things, they must FEEL good about who you are and your product, they must SEE you in a very powerful light. Whatever information they have EXPERIENCED about you, heard about you, or read about you, it must impress them to want to know more.

 “In social media, you must brand yourself as an expert, and as someone who has the answers, and knows the questions. Branding yourself on the internet is finding your niche to separate you from the crowd, and then driving that niche deep into the online community through new strategies and tactics.

 “And if you do not know HOW to create a million dollar brand like that, then you need to get the training so you are not left behind. It is so much easier to market and recruit when you are perceived as an expert in your field or niche, then if you are simply seen as a distributor. Developing that brand out in the marketplace makes your prospecting and recruiting so much more powerful and magnetic in nature.”

 If you practice Connection Marketing- you will be surprised at the success you will find in your network marketing home business.

“I Appreciate Your Interest.”
 
“Why am I calling? I appreciate your interest in the reason for the call. I actually could use some help in finding someone you might know to help me get a success message out.”
 
“Share an idea.”
 
“I would like to share an idea that I believe could help some folks you might know. It sure has helped me in many ways.
 
“Glad I found You.”
 
“I am so glad I found you in! Do you have one second? I need your help on something.”
