MLM Prospecting- The Prospecting TRUTH of Social and Mobile Media

MLM Prospecting TRUTH.

The task of talking to people is a big one, as that is how network marketing works. You expose your message and products to people, and then find out if they are going to become a customer or a distributor for them.

But there seems to be a huge mistake made in the home business market today.

Many people chase people away. You heard me correctly. Many people have so little going on in their business that their need for a customer or distributor is so strong that it chases prospects away.

And then- the distributor starts chasing them because they have no choice. They are looking for customers and distributors and that prospect is the only thing they got in the pipeline.

That is NO way to work this business. It is much like dating. If a young man asks a girl out, and she says, “No,” than he can call her again if he chooses. But if after 20 No’s the young man may not be getting the message that the girl is simply not interested.

But what if the young man went to a social, and met 5 young ladies who all let him know they would love to go out to dinner- that makes chasing the first young lady seem a total waste of time and effort.

As well as makes the young man seem blind to the truth of who is out in the world wanting to date him.

Are you blind to who is out there that would love to talk to you about your business?

Or do you have your “prospecting radar” on?

And if not- why not?

People today must see the enormous quantity of quality prospects that are out there- in the social media zone.

Frustration is a major part of being an entrepreneur, as well as a Network Marketer. And that many times leads to discouragement and leaving this business. It does not have to be frustrating or discouraging if you simply shift your paradigm about who is available to talk to in the marketplace.

It is normal to want to tell you your friends and family about your business.

That is what we do.

But most folks that you are close to, will not be that interested, because you probably have not succeeded before like you are presenting to them. This conversation lacks credibility to your friend.

They simply turn you off in the listening room in their mind. 

Ok. Great.

It’s about time we came to the realization that this game of begging for prospects is NOT working.

Let’s quit playing that game.

Let’s start doing something that makes a whole lot more sense, and start talking to people that are looking for us ad want to talk to us. You need to start getting our message out to those who are looking for you. And quit wasting your time on those folks that will never really be interested.

Who are most people looking for?

Anyone that will give them some time. That is the challenge.

That presence you carry with you when you do that- pushes people away as they realize something:

 “They know you want to talk to them a whole lot more than they want to talk to you. ( READ THAT AGAIN-editors note.)

What if it were different?

What if you talked to people that at least as much they wanted to talk to you as you to them?

How would that feel?

THAT is what millionaires in this business do.

They do not waste their time on people that are not worth the conversation as far as business. They are PICKY with whom they talk to, and they expect people to come to them – as that is how Leaders do thus business. They look for those who are searching for them.

How about you?

Are you willing to learn new methods of mobile recruiting, SMS, QR CODES, social networking, mobile marketing and social recruiting strategies that will allow you to discover a whole new world out there that you maybe did not know existed?

Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and learn some new tactics that will bring people TO YOU – versus you going to them?

THAT is how home business prospecting is going to be worked he majority of the time in the near future.

But why wait?

Why not be ahead of the curve and learn the mobile-social media tactics today and not worry ever again about chasing people down just to see if they will let you continue pitch them on your deal and business.

If you become a part of this powerful mobile -social Storm, your world is going to shift into a gear that makes overdrive seem slow. I know. And after 26 years, this has me more excited than anything I have seen for prospecting since the cassette tape!

 This business is that simple. Just making a slight shift in your prospecting and finding leads, and adding the social media part to it, can make your recruiting and prospecting efforts 100 times more powerful.

That is why it is called “Co-Traditional Network Marketing”. It is more than just the old ways of doing things.

It is the new, more powerful way that when combined with the traditional way, it can explode your mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Training – Are YOU Using the New Social Mobile “Warm Market Incubator”?

April 29, 2012 by 3 Comments

mlm network marketing

mlm home business

MLM Warm Market Prospecting Training.

Are you using a “has been” warm market” in your mlm home business?

Are you a member of the NFL Club- No Friends Left in your network marketing business?

Do you need a BOOST in finding a NEW warm market?

There is a New Warm Market Rule that dominates the network marketing mlm arena today and you MUST understand it if you are going to work a home business:

You Must understand that the New Social Media and Mobile Marketing is the new “Warm Market Incubator.” It helps you connect to, develop and build a new mobile online warm market that has no limits and total un-fettered access.

Most people have a warm market.

These are the people that you know that are your friends, family, and who you work with. This is the most traditional leads market that most start with. The referral market also is a great place traditionally to get goodleads.

 You know that you are taught to do your initial contact list, better known as a “memory jogger.” 

We all have done it.

This action is you sitting down and going through “memory triggers” and then people come to mind from those words, and you write them down.

Memory Triggers like, “banker,” “baker,” bookkeeper,” “cousins,” “neighbors,” “best friends,” etc. You know. You are supposed to come up with 100 names at least.

That is how 99% of all Network Marketers started their business- with folks they knew.

Nothing wrong with that.

The Warm Market Incubator.

There are 2 kinds of Warm market today.

1)   The traditional warm market that has a finite number of leads within it and rarely grows.

2)   The non-traditional warm market that has an endless number of leads that multiplies and grows daily with every new connection you make on line and mobile.

Which one seems more likely to produce more leads?

How would you like to wake up to a new warm market every day in your email box or text message area on your mobile device, that you connect to, and build rapport with, and then access the people that they know and they allow you to do that no problem?

How would you like to have open access to people that actually WANT TO TALK TO YOU and want to build a friendship with you?

How would you like to be able to have so many leads that you literally have to give part
of them away to people who have time to work them and build a relationship with
them?

What would it feel like to have so many people in your “Warm Market Incubator” that you literally had an overflow of leads daily that bury you in people to call??

You can with a new mobile social media strategy for finding great leads- not just finding leads.

You literally can “grow” or develop a new warm market through the social media system on sites and micro blogging sites.

It is not that hard, and there are many people that have turned their business around with this strategy of a warm market incubator.

You simply talk to people that want to talk to you.

 How different would that be? Overflowing with leads beyond anything you ever thought was possible?

If today, you do not have a “Lead Overflow” system that constantly is overflowing leads
to you, then you are working this business wrong.

What if you could have a new sort of, “warm market garden”, that you could grow a new warm
market?

You could connect to people that find you online, and you start developing a friendship with them. Then you connect with their friends, and then you connect with their friends, and then you connect with their friends, and you continually connect to an endless stream of prospects.,,

Using your mobile device.

How would that sound?

That is very doable. Just ask Lisa. She lives in Colorado.

She was ready to give up on her home business. She had so many Nos that she just got tired of them. She attended a seminar that talked about the new mobile marketing, SMS texting, using QR Codes, Mobile Recruiting, and of course social media.

She got involved and did what she was told step by step. She was relentless. Today, 9 months later, she is making over 7,000 dollars a month when she was not making 700 a month before.

What changed?

She did.

Her tactics did.

And she listened to what she was taught, and then engaged it. She has many distributors in her group, and 90% of them came from the social media world. Her warm market was not working for her.

It was too closed to new ideas.

When she engaged the new methods of finding leads, and connecting with folks via online, and did step by step what she was taught, her business totally turned around.

She let her new warm market incubator develop new friendships.

And then she connected to their friends, and then to their friends, and the chain reaction was so enormous, she had to slow down as it was overwhelming her. She has an Overflow Lead system that almost buried her in leads with mobile marketing, mobile recruiting, and mobile social networking on the go.

You can be buried in leads as well in your mlm network marketing home based business!

MLM Social Media- The “LOOKER” Social Media Recruiting Prospect

April 27, 2012 by 4 Comments

social media mlm

social media home business

Social Media Recruiting Training.

Are you recruiting people in Social Media for your home based business?

Do you use social media for your prospecting in your network marketing training?

Are you successful in your social media recruiting for your network marketing business?

There are 4 types of folks that you will find in your social media recruiting efforts. The first one is the LOOKER.

Let’s take a look at the LOOKER Type of Candidates in Social Recruiting:

1. The LOOKER. 

This prospect in corporate recruiting is the person who is ACTIVELY LOOKING for a job or employment. In home business  mlm recruiting, this is a prospect that is LOOKING FOR CHANGE and LOOKING FOR MORE out of life.

They have their “radar” on looking for a FIT and a MATCH to where they see their lives are going.

They can be found on LinkedIn, Fast Pitch Networking, job boards, in discussion groups, asking for referrals, sending out direct messages, as well as just in social groups networking. They spend time not only on LinkedIn, but also facebook, follow
twitter feeds for possible job options, and check online career boards for possible options. They go to hotjobs.com, monster.com, careerbuilder.com, among many other career sites.

THAT is one of the biggest traits when it comes to LOOKERS. They are aggressively NETWORKING with other people, EXPOSING their names and profiles to get noticed. They are not afraid of placing their resume online and in public if needed.

In home business recruiting, Lookers make it known via comments and conversations that they are searching for a change in their life or want MORE out of life. It could be because of college tuition coming up, wanting a new home or car, or almost
anything that helps move their life forward to where they want it to go.

Lookers know what they are looking for, where they must go to possibly find it. They are very social and social media savvy in nature. They spend more time on social sites then the average person, can smell insincerity through their computers, and
known what they can bring to the table skill set wise as well as education.

Traits of a LOOKER.

The traits of a Looker are:

  •          Aggressive.
  •          Sharp.
  •           AWARE.
  •          Know what they want and how to get it.
             Relationship based.
            Teachable and Willing to Learn.
            Timing is NOW not tomorrow.
            Leadership skill set can be strong.
            Ambitious and growing.
            Dissatisfied and Discontented, but  not Discouraged.
            Sense of Urgency.
            Loyal and demands loyalty.
  1. These folks are easy to recruit for a home business. Even if they are looking a corporate position, they still can be easy to recruit.

The Social Recruiter  says, “Surprisingly, many of the Lookers actually are open to a more non traditional career path- even some part time. When I discovered this, I thought that was amazing. I only offer full time employment. But if I was in a home business, I would spend a lot of time looking for those kinds of candidates. They make themselves known and make it a point to get to know others. They are natural networkers and go getters.

 Some are motivated by unjustly being fired, some because they want a career change, some because they
want better money or position, and others because they want a more suitable corporate culture to work in. They are front and center and let you know it. But again, you only get ONE SHOT at this type of candidate.

 You MUST use the words and phrases that will get their attention the RIGHT WAY. Many people in social media I have observed, truly say a lot of the wrong things that push the candidate away. They could have had a powerhouse of a Leader with amazing connections at their call, but did not know the right approach or social focus to PULL them in. It is critical that you know this. Otherwise, you will never get the time of day
from them.”

How about YOU? Are you making that mistake?

 Lookers are looking for a MATCH.

 It is the same in home business and mlm. Lookers are looking for a MATCH.

They are lookingfor a match to where they want their life to go, and a possible business vehicleto get them there. That is the reason that if you are talking to a Looker, then you need to talk “match.”

“I am looking for a match for my company and someone who is looking for a match for their future.
Someone who would be a great fit for us and our company would be a fit for them.”

 You get the point.

This is how you hold conversation on the social sites. Talk “Match” and “Fit” with Lookers. That is the language that will pull them towards you. It rings in their heart as a conversation they would like to explore.

Lookers are VISIBLE and VALUABLE.

Lookers are the “Hunters” in Social Recruiting and they actively go out and “hunt” for the right job or the right business for their life. They are ACTIVE Networkers and are powerful Connectors. They are active in social media as well as offline.

They spend a LOT of time connecting with who they perceive the “right people”- someone who can help them locate the position or career they are looking for. They are often powerful Leaders with a vision for where they are headed. And many are looking
also to “expand” their horizons with something different-like a part time business they own in mlm or network marketing.

Many Lookers today are looking – with one eye for employment online- and with the other eye looking for possible alternatives. YOU offer the alternative with a home business.

You will find MANY Lookers at LIVE Social Networking Events including: “meetups,” “tweetups,” and “Mashups.”

 Look for them and connect to them for a conversation of possibilities for your mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Social Media- A Powerful Social Media MLM Prospecting Formula

MLM Social Media Prospecting Tips.

Do your network marketing prospects always seem to be less than you need in numbers?

Are you frustrated that you never have ENOUGH MLM Prospects?

Would you like to learn a little MLM Prospecting Secret that GUARANTEES you will have an overflow of home business prospects?

Here is a little MLM Social Media Prospecting Tip you your network marketing business:

It is all about your prospects “falling through the cracks”- you MUST have so many prospects in the pipeline to follow up on, you cannot keep up and forget to call some of them back.

Simply, most people do not anywhere near the number of folks they need looking at their business. It seems that there is almost a “prospecting mediocrity” that exists and tells
people that if you have 4,5, or 6 people looking at the business, you are doing
this business right.

NOT!

That is why most people fail in this business, because of all the “Mediocre Myths” out in
the industry. Most people do not understand that the number of people you have
looking at the business plus the quality of people equals the amount of your
ongoing Success. It is that simple. Let’s put it in a different format:

Number of PEOPLE + Quality of PEOPLE = Your ongoing Prospecting Success in Network Marketing.

Yes, belief, personal development, decision, and Leadership are critical elements as
well, but it is the number and the quality of prospects that you have that really tell the story.

And many distributors/consultants have way too few people at any one given time looking at the business.

Why?

Setting Prospecting Limits.

They limit themselves to a narrow group of people that eventually they reach the limit to
what they can do with the list. And then they end up leaving saying the business
does not work.

It DOES work, and works well. IF you know how to work it RIGHT and give it time to
work. But most people simply do not believe that because of their lack of
Success.

But do NOT let that be you.

There is a new medium that can bring more prospects to you than you can call on- and it is the Social Media and Mobile Marketing phenomenon.

You need to become a part of it to find the number of people you need to create Success.

Donni had a business and was struggling in it. She was not a happy camper because she quit
her job when she had her baby, and this HAD to work. But it was not. She was
starting to get worried, as her husband.

Donni decided to follow some advice, and get into the social media zone. She studied
it, and learned it well, and within 45 days, her whole business had turned
around, because she was getting 5-15 leads a DAY, and all because she followed
a well thought out plan.  Her volume grew dramatically, and so did her income. She went from having 3 to 4 people in the pipeline to over 40 in the pipeline.

Today, she has tripled what she earned at her job, and it continues to grow monthly. Would YOU like to have that kind of Success? You can and will- all you need to do is learn what I am teaching you on this blog, and the PRACTICE it, and then DO IT.

Does it REALLY take a lot of folks to succeed?

Words of Wisdom.

Let’s listen to what my Mentor has to say:

 “Someone asked me one time how do you REALLY know you are doing this business right? I simply answered, ‘When your prospects start falling through the cracks.’ That means that you have so many people in the pipeline looking at the business that literally you forget to call some of them because there are so many people to follow up on. How can you do that today with people being so guarded?

 “Simple. Go Social. Learn all you can about the new Social Media approach to Network Marketing prospecting and recruiting- known as Recruiting MagneTechs. This is magnetic power for your finding leads and recruiting. Finding good leads is the most critical piece of the Success puzzle in Network Marketing.

But most do not find these kind of great leads because they limit themselves to who they know. Can calling people that you know work? Absolutely! It works great and is part of the traditional way to do this business. And everyone who gets into this industry needs to start calling on the people they know. But also- not be limited to that number either.

“If you are going to succeed today long term, you need a blend of the traditional way of doing this business, and the non- traditional. It is called “Co-Traditional Network Marketing.” If you can blend the two in your business, you will find that your business will be in OVERDRIVE and start giving you the results that you are looking for.

 “Does it take some time? Of course. Every new path in any industry has a learning curve. But you can shorten that curve by 80% by finding a good program that will teach you what you need to do to make that happen.  

“Folks that understand and embrace the new Social and Mobile path of Success in home business, will become the new millionaires in this wonderful industry.”

How many do YOU have in the pipeline looking at the business?

And if you are just looking at having a home business, you need to start it off right.
Call your warm market, but also start familiarizing yourself with the social media market. Both combined can make a tremendous one-two punch in your mlm social media prospecting.

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!

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 Social Media- The Recruiting Power of Multiplied Visibilty

March 4, 2012 by 12 Comments

 

  Social Media MLM Visibility.

 How important is Visibility to your  overall social media home business strategy?

Do you understand that it  must MOVE PAST the traditional perception of Visibility in an mlm network marketing business?

How does a Multiplied Visibility work for your networking marketing business?

Here is a Social Media Law of Recruiting that MUST be adhered to:

You MUST have a Presence and Visibility today in a Multitude of Places – with Multiple Possibilities.

 Today- what worked 8 years ago- does NOT have the impact that it once did. The days of just the warm market and people you know, and nothing else- is pretty much considered passe. Most wealth today in network marketing is created by a multiple of channels of leads coming in from various places online and offline.

 Yes, you can build a business on your warm market exclusively, but it will be harder than it was even 10 years ago to build a business, let alone create wealth on warm market alone.

Don’t get me wrong- warm market is the Nuclear Core of a new home business prospect list!

But concerning  social media being a MUST,  some people may disagree, but we have seen the changes coming for quite sometime and new prospecting tactics need to be at least in the wings.

 There are new market and recruiting dynamics that were not in play 10 years ago in the marketplace, including social media marketing, mobile recruiting, social recruiting, and SMS marketing.

 And more and more people are now tired of being “hit up” by their friends about Network marketing. Many have a wall that seems to have been built because of that, and a lesser percentage of warm market seem to be responding in a positive way.

 How do you have a presence in a multitude of places to day?

 Let’s listen to part of a training I did in 2011:

 “Having a presence today in multiple places is not a need to do- but a MUST do, as things have changed the last 10 years in this industry. You must have that kind of presence and be visible just to be competitive in the ever expanding home business marketplace. People used to use large cell phones almost the size of a small suitcase, but they evolved and today they are smaller than a palm of a hand or even 2 fingers. 

 It’s the same with computers as they used to be the size of a small desk. Today, they are the size of the palm of your hand with mobile devices, smart phones, and other new technology. And that is the same with network marketing, as it has evolved and changed, and grown. And you CANNOT afford to stagnate your reach into the marketplace.

What I am about to say is worth millions of dollars:

 “If you are not EXTENDING YOUR REACH into the marketplace daily, you are falling behind. You MUST extend your reach in a multitude of ways and be in a multitude of places.

 “We all know Network Marketing, or MLM better known as Multi level Marketing.

I call what I am talking about ‘Multitude Marketing’.

It’s being in a multitude of places all at the same time.

 The first place you can look to expand is the traditional media. Run neighborhood classified ads and get some visibility locally. You need to do that. Get some post cards out in the snail mail and let that work for you. They will lay around and remind the prospect of you. Give some CDs and DVDs out and let them do the talking for you.

Be in 10 places at once doing a presentation with a prospect through duplicated media. Do a weekly webinar, google hang out, or an old fashioned conference call. This will extend your reach dramatically, as a webinar also will. People from all over the country will be in attendance.

And get into social media and mobile media as well as mobile marketing and recruiting. Be on the social sites on your mobile, set some landing pages and facebook fan pages up, and create a presence that people will see and start to know. Make new friends through the sites and get to know them.

Social Bookmark a lot of sites and articles that you like, and get them out on the social book marking sites. And also get into blogging, tweeting, posting, do videos, PDFs, and put things on pinterest. You can be in a multitude of places all at once if you put the effort in and understand:

Today it is NOW about people moving TOWARDS YOU – not just you – moving towards them.

 People today in Network Marketing, that only move towards people they know and then wait on those friends to move- will not only fall behind in the process, but will get buried in the wave of the new social media and mobile recruiting phenomena.”

That about says it all. And the smart thing to do is create a real understanding of what was just said and see how you integrate it into your business of network marketing and direct selling.

Social Media MLM – 3 Powerful Social Media Recruiting Secrets

mlm social media

 

Social Media MLM Recruiting.

Where are you in the social media mlm niche?

Are you using social media for your network marketing business?

Are you looking for some secrets that could help explode your mlm social media results?

Today we are going to cover three very poweful secrets about the ever changing world of social networking and social media. if you are using social media, then YOU are on top of what is today’s greatest prospecting venue.

If you are not- START.

Here are 3 very powerful secrets of accelerating your social media recruiting success:

Social Media Recruiting Secret 1:

 It is No Longer about being the Industry Best, but what you do in your Niche, do it better than Anyone Else.

 Niche Marketing and Recruiting has arrived. It is still in it’s infancy in the Home Business arena, but it has arrived. With all the messages out in the marketplace, you have to set your company and product apart. You must see the big picture, but know that the Driving Force for your success will come in a smaller marketing zone.

Take the Flip Video camera –a niche that is narrow, but a market that is huge. Being the best used to be the cry of the corporations. But with the acceleration and proliferation today of all the products and services in the Network marketing arena, there is a different sound that seems to be heard.

 You do not have to be the best in the industry any longer. But you do have to be the very best at what you do.

 This has changed the approach to many company owners as they look into the future and try and see what is coming. Single product focus has been huge the last 5 years in Home businesses. Single niche focus is getting to be just as big.

Mineral Make Up.

Super antioxidant gel.

High Powered Herbal Energy drinks.

Medicinal Based skin care products.

Skinny tea bags.

Diet Chocolate products.

And the list continues to grow daily. Not trying to be the all in all and everything to everybody. Just being the best at one thing and no one else doing it as good. That is the New Rule for the marketplace today.

People are not expecting you to be the best at everything.

But be the very best at the one thing you do.

Be the best at talking about your product.

Be the best at explaining your comp plan.

Be the best prospector.

Be the best presenter.

Be the best recruiter.

Be the best leader.

Be the best trainer.

 But be the best at something, and watch people be attracted to that best that no one else can do-like you.

 Social Media Recruiting Secret 2:

 It is no Longer about having a Brand- YOU ARE the Brand.

 Branding. Been lots of talk about it. But in the past, there was always taking your product brand to market. Making sure that your product had brand identity. Making sure that your product’s brand was the most recognizable.

 Things are changing.

 Now, there is the Primary Brand, and then secondary brand. YOU are the Primary Brand in the New Marketplace. Today, people are more interested in what YOU bring to the table, not just your product. The New marketplace is a whole lot more savvy than it used to be. Computers changed that. The internet changed that. SMS, Mobile Marketing, Social Networking, Smart phones changed that.

And that change moved the focus from product being primary- to people. YOU are the first brand in your business-your company and products are the secondary brand. You must set yourself apart from all the others out there, and become the ‘Expert’ at something that will elevate people’s perspective of who you are and what you do.

You must become “memorable.” You must become more than just a distributor to that person. You must become the “go to person” for what you do.

 What do you want to be remembered for when prospects think of you? What message do you want them to see on their mental billboard about you? What do you want “seared’ onto their mind like a branding iron that carries your mark?

YOU must become the brand by marketing yourself as much as you market the products and business. Come up with a catchy slogan. Come up with a logo that people remember. Come up with a catchy theme that sets you apart. Then brand  it on the social media sites and all you do.

 The New Rule: Don’t just make yourself KNOWN- make yourself REMEMBERED.

  And when they remember you, make sure they remember your slogan, logo, or theme FIRST-because YOU are the Primary Product.

 Social Media Recruiting Secret 3: 

It’s no longer just about what you are saying-but what others are saying to others – FOR YOU.

 It’s called “The Echo Factor.”

 What is echoing across the landscape about you and your business and products? What is being said that is getting people’s attention? What are people saying as an ambassador for you and your products to others that are listening to their words?

You can talk all you want about your products and business. But it is not anywhere near as powerful as others that are talking for you and about you. Other people mentioning to their friends and family that your products are amazing and your business is really helping people, is advertisement you cannot buy. It is worth it’s weight in gold.

And the greatest part is those that have enrolled into your vision about the products and benefits and they have become a “Vision Carriers.” They carry the vision of what you are doing and let others know about it.

 That is how many products today are being marketed. The companies are developing strategic “Vision Carriers” and they carry the vision out into today’s marketplace. They are called ‘Visionaries” that get it, and then they go out and virally market it across the internet and the other traditional ways of communication. 

 You need to develop “Vision Carriers” that carry the vision with them and then tell people about your products and business. Reward them for doing it. If they refer someone, give them the profit from the sale. Give them reasons to share the story about your product and business. Get them excited about helping get your message out because it will help so many others.

Get their heart connected to the Vision, and they will tell everyone they know –for you.

 These are 3 very powerful tips for you to help your social media recruiting success in mlm home business and network marketing.

Social Media MLM – 5 Ways to Avoid Overexposure in Social Media

February 6, 2012 by 48 Comments
mlm social media

social media overexposure

 

Social Media MLM Training.

What is one of the worst things that you can have in social media and a home business?

Are you aware that it can destroy your brand and even your business over time in network marketing?

What is this devastating poison called that harms your social media home business?

It is called  “Over Exposure without Value.”

Ok- fair enough…but what is that?

“OEWA”  is when someone is constantly being seen trying to sell or recruit in the social media zone and is NOT bringing any Value to the social conversation and people in social networking circles start getting tired of their selfish messages.

OUCH.

It creates something that I call “Social Visibility Fatigue.”

Much like with President Bush or President Clinton, and now somewhat with President Obama, the US got TIRED of the nonstop talk, images in the media, and chatter about them and people just wanted these guys to just go away. And true, as always, politics may have played some into it, but even staunch Republicans got tired of Bush and diehard Democrats got tired of Clinton.

That what happens as well in sociao media,  with an Overexposed message with seemingly No Value.

There are some folks that you see everywhere on social media,  but people do not ever seem to get tired of them. You read their posts daily, watch their videos constantly, and talk about their current message powerfully.

Why in the world does this happen?

There are certain social media folks thay bring Extreme Value to everything they say and do and contribute to the social media word. They do it without a selfish motive and YOU CAN FEEL IT, as well as sense it.

There are a LOT of social networking folks that bring great VALUE to EVERYTHING they do, and people on facebook, twitter, pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, and other social sites look forward to hearing from them- again and again and again.

And they keep coming back for more!

What makes these folks special, is they do not “pitch” you on their products or trainings every time they hold a conversation online, text, broadcast a message or say something in a video. They constantly bring a more powerful conversation into the community with powerful ideas and concepts that ADDS– not tries to take from the whole.

Their message in social media BRINGS VALUE– not tries to be SEEN as VALUE. People are savvy enough to tell the difference today in social media.

And folks, that ONE THING  is the difference between powerful and enduring Successful Social Media professionals- and the ones that are not so successful.

It appears that Successful professionals in social media seem to focus more on being Valuable and BRINGING Value to people’s lives daily, – while it comes across that less than successful folks seem to focus more on being Visible.

DID YOU GET THAT?

Valuable vs. Visible.

Your ONLY goal in social media as a network marketing professional should be to provide Jaw Dropping Value FIRST and be Visible SECOND!

Extreme Value FOR Social media will ALWAYS bring HIGH VISIBILITY IN social media!

You must understand that there is the critical distinction between people looking Forward to your Message, and people being Tired of your Message.

 Over Exposure  Remedy.

So here is the Million Dollar Question: What can you do to powerfully market your home business message and NOT become a Victim of Overexposure?

Here are 5 things:

1) One secret is to give away something for FREE regularly and make it WORTH something and Usable

Do NOT make the mistake that a lot of people make…they save their best content for their CDs and webinars. If you want to gain High Visibilty, then give something away that has TRUE VALUE and can be used.

2) Another secret is to Solve problems for people.

Find out what challenges that your prospects have. Ask them.   Give them multiple solutions and ideas and resources that will help solve that problem, and then connect with them in your own webinar.

3) Start to Reveal Little Known and Little Taught Information.

What you need to start doing is research and find GREAT information that most people do not know exists and then help them discover it through a free download.  That process of helping people and showing them the way is called “Social Media Leadership” –guiding,  directing, and leading folks to new possibilities for their life.

4) Become a Powerful Resource…Suggest other people’s webinars, PDFs, ebooks, CDs, blogs, downloads, and content.

Why in the world do you think I am always pointing  folks to other people’s content on EVERY blog post? ?   Social Media Leadership. And it HELPS folks discover new messages, products, content, soultions, ideas and personalities in MLM they did not know exists that has made a HUGE difference in my life.

5) This is a MUST in all you do: Ask a very powerful but simple question- “Where’s the Beef?”

You may remember Clara Peller in that famous Wendy’s commercial. It became a national slogan for even a presidential election. It should be YOUR slogan in your social media marketing efforts. Yes, you can hold powerful conversations and keep it personal, and Value is within the CONNECTION . But in your marketing broadcasts, “where’s the beef?” Make sure that the Value is:

Constant VALUE.

VALUE that Makes a Difference.

VALUE that is USABLE and Teachable. (Much of what is out there is NOT.)

Are you making this HUGE Mistake in your network marketing home business of Exposure without Value?

I would highly suggest that you check your tweets, posts, notes, texts, mobile communicaiton, Direct Messages, IMs, and marketing efforts and BEEF UP the Value in your social media marketing for your netwpork marketing home business.
