If You Haven't Been Selling Your Network Marketing Business Online, Then You Are Missing Out On A Warm Marketplace Of More Than 300,000 People.

I know that your time is valuable. Check out Magnetic Sponsoring if you want to go right to the source of all of this great information. Read on for some great insight if you've got two minutes to spare. It's worth your time.

Today brings us to perhaps the most under utilized opportunity that creates over the top results. Somehow I used to think that if I didn’t do all the work and sell sell sell someone, then I would never gain that persons respect and then business. Of course, you know what I found. Yup, all that hardwork selling equaled No respect and No Business.

One person can be hit over the head with over 10,000 advertisements daily from all forms of media. And that means that they have learned to tune out just as many. Unless of course they're looking for something.

You need to find the guy that's looking for Network Marketing Opportunities. That’s the guy that’s looking for you and that’s the guy you want in your Network Marketing downline. That’s the guy that you don’t have to sell. And he is easier to find than you might think.

I work at the Bellagio in Las Vegas as a waiter. And people always say “Well your in sales already so of course your good at this.” Not exactly. I happen to be in a position where people come to me ready to spend money. You go to a restaurant and you know that your going to pull out your wallet and pay for dinner. Those people are qualified because they are hungry and they have already decided to make a purchase. They are already in the boat. All I have to do is steer it.

And that is how you use the internet to drive your network marketing business. You don’t advertise to people searching for the Kelley Blue Book value of their vehicle. You advertise to people looking for network marketing opportunities. They are the people that are already “hungry”. They want what you have and they are ready to pay for it. Now it’s not even sales. It’s filling a need.

How Many People Could Possibly Be Looking For Network Marketing Businesses on the Internet?

It was a lot more than I ever thought. Check out this screen capture from Google adwords.




That’s right. Approximately 301,000 people searched for network marketing in August alone. That’s 301,000 people that are looking for a business opportunity that will change their lives and yours. It’s a big number and you need less than 1% of that big number to create a succesful business.

If you are not using Google Adwords.....Well, you should be. It’s free and it’s a cornerstone of success for a Network Marketing business. With all these free tools it’s almost like someone wants us to be successful.

Why Does This Work?

You’ve probably heard this before. It’s simply a numbers game. But here’s how this game is different. Rather than prospecting 100 people with 100 sales pitches and spending countless hours doing it, you can pitch 100 qualified people that are looking for your business by simply posting a blog site, offering something useful that you have learned, and writing a single blog entry.

Now, your efforts work when people want them to work. And this happens over and over again because this information is accessible when they want it. Not when you have the extra time to do it. Your website will continue to sell your business even when your enjoying your well deserved rest.

Remember, time is our most valuable commodity because it’s the one thing that we can’t get more of. Use it wisely and let your hard work continue to work hard for you. Don’t forget to sign up for Google Adwords. You'll be amazed by how awesome a free service can be.

And if you want more insightful information check out Magnetic Sponsoring. It is another cornerstone for creating success in the Network Marketing world. Give it a read.... Your business will thank you.

Have a great day

The New Breed of Network Marketers and how they Save Time, Emotions, and Energy all while Continuing To Make Great Profits! From Home!

Have you ever wondered why you have a business working from home and never seem to be “at home” doing business?

Either you’re going to seminars or you’re heading out to make a presentation or having a coffee with your upline or even putting yourself in a place where you can be out socializing in hopes of catching someone who might be interested in your business. Techniques Of The Past.

Let’s Jump Into the Present

I’ll show you how to use your computer to drive people who want your success right to your home office. I’ll teach you techniques that compound your efforts and are duplicatable so the efforts of your downline compound with yours as well.

The Tale of Two Network Marketers

Meet Tom and John. Both are in the first month of their Network Marketing Business selling the same energy product. They both have full time jobs and they are both working with a $500 budget, which means they are looking to generate leads rather than buying them.

Tom is going to do everything his upline has taught to him. Take massive action and get his product out there with word of mouth.

Tom’s Workload
  • Build a list of friends and family
  • Talk to anyone who comes within 3 feet
  • Print flyers and distribute wherever you think have market potential (college campus, neighborhoods, grocery stores)
  • Give away free samples
  • Wear an “Ask Me How” button
  • Pass out business cards
  • Go to meetings
  • Listen to conference calls
  • Meet weekly with upline and downline
  • Invite anyone who expresses a tiny bit of curiosity to sit down and listen to a presentation
John has decided to use a different approach. He is going to market his MLM online by focusing on people that are looking to boost their energy.

John’s Workload
  • Set up a free blog recommending the product for a quick energy boost
  • Start profiles on energy and health websites and link back to blog
  • Write an informative article detailing a useful plan for gaining more energy and endorse product
  • Use an inexpensive service to capture contact information from those who would like to learn more
  • Use the service to send them the above mentioned article
  • Use the service to send out notices to these contacts notifying them of new blog updates
  • Let the content do the talking
  • Convert subscribing readers into customers by pointing them to sales website
Both plans work. But which one is more successful?

For arguments sake we’ll say that after 6 months, both Tom and John are earning the same profits from their businesses. So now how do you measure success?

Let’s look at “profit potential” and “lifestyle output”. They are each creating a different business as well as a different lifestyle.

Profit Potential
  • Tom says: I met with 600 people in 6 months and personally signed up 60 members in my downline. (Ambitious I know, but he wants to be a successful business owner)
  • John says: I didn’t talk to anyone that didn’t ask me about my business first. I personally signed up 20 members in my downline.
  • Tom says: I’ve gotten good at this sales thing and I can talk anyone into joining this business. Qualified or not.
  • John says: I keep adding new information and new links to my blog. My efforts are compounding, while my traffic and my subscribers are growing exponentially. I’m getting calls a few times a week from people who want to work with me.
  • Tom says: Well, I signed up 60 people but only half stuck around. The 30 left are still in it and have sponsored 10 people total. If I could only find people that were as motivated as I am.
  • John says: My work has brought me 20 people that were ready to be business owners. They are all producing because I’ve got a system that is easy for them to replicate.
  • Tom says: My profits are getting better. They would be growing much faster if my downline would stop dropping out on me. I’ll just have to work even harder.
  • John says: My profits are increasing and I see a direct correlation to the growth of my downline and the traffic going to the sight. My workload is becoming less, but my income is rising…quickly.

Lifestyle Output

  • Tom says: I’ve got some new duds. You’ve got to look sharp if you’re going to be sharp.
  • John says: Everyone says how cool it would be to work from home in your pajamas. I do that.
  • Tom says: This is definitely an emotional roller coaster. I’ve gotten better at dealing with deadbeat prospects, but it still bums me out every time they quit or don’t show up or don’t follow through or blame me because they aren’t making any money.
  • John says: I knew from the beginning that through hard work and persistence that my efforts would pay off. It was slow at first, but now my business is climbing higher and higher. I just keep cruising.
  • Tom says: I’m going at all hours of the day. Basically, whenever I can fit into someone’s schedule. Whether it works for me or not.
  • John says: I work when I want. A few hours in the morning or night. My computer is always available. Even if I’m up at 5am.
  • Tom says: Every time I talk to someone new, I start right back at square one. It’s like I have to prove myself to everyone that I talk to.
  • John says: The more I learn, the more I create new posts and links. My contacts, both new and old, see my progress and my growing expertise.
  • Tom says: Hey John, can you show me what you’re doing.
  • John says: Of course, Check Out This link
Tom Used a Network Marketing Approach to Marketing

He is a strong player. Tom’s is steeped in tradition. By using “word of mouth” recruiting, he is playing a game of pluses and minuses. Hopefully he and his downline can continue adding people to their group to fend off the subtractions. Unfortunately, with all the coming and going, he is aware that his work isn’t as productive as he had hoped. His ethics have put him in a situation that people see him as an expert. Which is great. But now they want to ride the wave that he has created. They think that Tom will do all the work for him. They don’t produce and the downline comes to a halt.

Tom is tired. He is working at a break neck pace and is beginning to wonder how long he can keep up what he is doing. The realization that he is working harder than most has become mentally exhausting and he is now questioning whether this is the right business for him after all.

John Used a Business Approach to Marketing

He is a strong player also. John knows that he wants a few key ideas to prevail in his business approach. He is more concerned about selling a business system, rather than retailing a product. He wants his efforts to continue to work for him. He wants to attract people who are predisposed to MLM’s. And he wants to grow a business that is easy for his downline to reproduce.

John, in the comfort of his home (and sometimes pajamas), has no problem keeping up his pace. He has become accomplished at writing articles and creating links. Concepts that were foreign at first and took him hours to create have now become fast and simple, as well as the driving force behind his business.

Remember, Spend Your Time With People Who Want To Be In Your Business, Not People Shopping

John has positioned himself as a leader and has offered a solid business formula. So now, John has attracted people who are business minded and ready to take serious action in their new business. This Is The Stance You Need To Take. The people that realize this truth will be the people that begin to hunt you. They will contact you and ask to join your business program. And don’t forget, what you have created can be created by anyone. They can duplicate your business formula. This is what creates a successful home based business. They don’t have to be “Tom the Go-Getter”.

Follow this link to learn more about this Business Formula. It is one of the most valuable pieces of training material I have found. It will give you a new foundation on which to build your business.

By the way, remember when I said in my last post that I was determined to find a way to use my computer to my business’ advantage? This is what I found and my life and my business have not been the same since. The time for a change in this industry is now.

How my upline completely let me down and what I did to overcome it.

When I first started my business, finding people to join something that I was so excited about seemed like the easiest thing in the world. I thought that people would grab hold of my excitement and run with me.

WOW! Was I WRONG!


At this point in my network marketing career I thought, "This sucks. I don’t want to talk to anyone, anymore, anytime." What next? Ooooh, call my sponsor.

Drag, voicemail. Two days later he calls me back and says "just keep on talking to more people". In a nutshell, my sponsor wasn't successful at this business nor was his sponsor or anyone else in thier upline as far as I'm concerned.


So... rather than quit, I tried something else. And then I tried something else and then again until I found something that did work.

If you have felt like I did, you know deep down that there must be a more effective way to get people to join your business. The technology is out there. But how do you use it to find people that are serious about working from home, instead of just
curious?

What I discovered I will share with you and it will change your business forever!
  • You will develop the tools used to build a business and attract customers online with your computer.
  • You will learn how to position yourself so that people will WANT to work with you. People who will be good business partners.
  • You will understand how to use the internet to drive customers who are qualified and ready to spend money to your website.
  • You will develop the strategies to create an endless stream of people who want what you have. A Successful Network Marketing Business.
So what worked? Well, I figured I could use my computer for more than just logging into my business’ back office to see if anyone had joined my downline. A man can dream can’t he? =)

All this technology and I’m not sure how I can use it to my business advantage. I decided to change that.

I came across a free Network Marketing Training boot camp. Of course, the skeptic in me searched reviews before even signing up for 7 days of free training. My research found positive marks, so I signed up.

I made a great choice. I learned more in 7 days than I had learned in 6 months of talking to my upline, going to hotel meetings and listening to conference calls.

If you want to know how to get serious prospects to call you, rather than you calling them, It’s All Right Here.

OK. So how free was it? There must be a catch, right?

After 7 days of insight packed videos and e-mails, I was given the opportunity to purchase a $40 book. And I’m good with that. I know education costs money and I’ve already started seeing results from this system. I also know that you can’t start any business, from a lemonade stand to lemon tree farm, without spending a few dollars.

The worst case scenario is that the book sucks and I ask for a refund. Now I’m just out time.

The book comes in the mail and it’s a page turner. I can’t put it down. I read through it twice. I used different colored highlighters both times to point out what I missed the first time. Tons Of Information. And it really brought together and expanded on all the information they had touched on previously.

It’s basically the best money I’ve spent since I joined an autoship program.

Take a look at the link and decide for yourself. All I can offer is a true testimonial of the power of this system. And that’s coming from a guy who doesn’t trust testimonials. ;)

If you don’t agree after seven days of free training then you must not be ready to put yourself and your computer to work creating network marketing success.
However, if you you’re like me, you can use these tools to achieve that prosperous business that you’ve been dreaming of. Real Business. Real Sales. Real Money.

It’s been real. Now check this out.
