Use Caution when promoting your MLM business online

Today I was out for a walk and my cell phone rang. The most cheerful of young ladies was on the other end of the line and her goal was to sell me on using her companies SEO services to put my MLM website at the top of the search engines… in my companies listings.

Fortunately I have some insight here and I want to share with you how easy it is to get ripped off by someone who really doesn’t know what YOU are doing and really doesn’t know the rules!

I know for a fact that there are literally thousands of web pages online that look EXACTLY like the “self replicating website” that I have from my MLM company. Many distributors have NEVER even looked at their page(s) and it is my opinion that very few persons are actually sponsored as a result of the page… as it stands. So, why pay an SEO firm to promote one in a million when nobody’s looking anyway?

If you really look into the website that your company “gives you” to use so that you can share your program with others at a distance, you might be surprised at how much information is really there. I know that I was… and once I REALLY looked, I decided to put ALL that information to GOOD use!

Having been around Network Marketing for a LONG time, I’ve been to my share of hotel meetings and I really didn’t like them. So, what I did was use the information that is contained in my company provided page, as reference material, to support a web page that I created to lead someone through the company, the offer, the product, the benefits and finally how they can create an income stream should that be something that interests them. It’s almost like they were at a hotel meeting… but they can do it from the comfort of their home, the office or wherever their browser is located.

Having done this, I now find my company provided website to be worth a TON of money to me! It’s actually a HUGE resource. Hear me there… it’s a HUGE Resource. But it’s not a real attention getter on its own. So I’m using it for what it does best and I would suggest you do that as well. And don’t PAY anyone to promote it for you because you’re NOT likely to benefit from that. If you can dispute this, please comment below and I will “Stand Corrected!”

When someone calls and wants to promote YOUR MLM’s corporate web page for you… tell them NO THANKS. You will find that many of the Network Marketing Companies have some STRICT rules when it comes to doing online advertising. You must play by their rules or you can risk loosing your distributorship.

Always play by the rules. Not doing so can put you in so much hot water with the big boys and after all… it’s their company and if you don’t want to do it their way… they’ll tell you good bye and that’s it! You might flush a great profit stream down the toilet with a bad choice. So read the rules and play by them.

If you want to know how to get around all that, Promote yourself and when folks ask YOU how you’re doing so well, once they have asked you… you’re free to tell them ALL ABOUT the Network Marketing Company you represent. You can show then the website and any other promotional information you have. This way, you’re playing within the rules.

Are you using Attraction Marketing in your Online Business? If not, You should be…

As I was going through the list of all the new people who had clicked to “follow me” on Twitter over the weekend… I discovered one name that I immediately recognized.  She’s well known and she’s written several publications that have sold around the world to marketers of all venues.

That she would follow me made me feel good but I knew there must be something “IN THIS” for me…  She didn’t follow me because I’m me… did she?

Well, truth be known, she does have a new piece out in print and I’ve downloaded my copy.  I’ve read a good chunk of it and that’s what I’ll be reading this evening… instead of watching the TV!  Learning how to use Attraction Marketing in my online business sounds VERY interesting to me.  I doubt that there’s anything on TV worth watching anyway… and they’re not going to teach me ANYTHING that will help me create a living in today’s economy…  They’ll just tell me how bad the economy is and that I should run for cover.  Well, my opinion is that the TV should probably go out with the trash tomorrow and most of the newscaster’s opinions with it!

Sorry I digressed…  Let’s get back to the new report!

The author is Ann Sieg and her latest publication is “The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto.”  You may have read her previous works… “The Renegade Network Marketer” and if you did… she claims that there were some “needed pieces” that this new work fills in.

You can find a copy of the report at: http://solutions4life.MarketersManifesto.com

Here’s  direct quote from her note about the new report:

It’s a 75 page PDF report and it contains a lot of extremely valuable information that will help you build a profitable network marketing business.

It’s definitely a MUST READ! (Why?)  Because I don’t think any of the stuff that’s covered inside it can be found anywhere else on the Internet. Not even in other products that many people charge you for…

So, Get on over to the link and get your copy and start reading!  It could change your life forever!

Happy Thanksgiving 2008

There was a time when anything that I might write would never have been read by anyone outside of my little community. “Community” being defined as a group of homes in my little town… here in the United States.

With the advent of the internet, what I write can now be read all around the world and elsewhere in the universe if you believe, as some do, that we’re not here alone…

So what does Happy Thanksgiving mean to you? For many who live in the United States it’s a time of year when we typically gather with friends and family that we probably haven’t had time to be with since the last year or maybe longer. The day is typically spent sitting around catching up on the past year’s events, eating much more than we should and many watch football (American style) on television… or actually at the event!

For others in the world, who are hard at work or wherever you are, my wish for you is that you have a very SAFE, Peaceful and Profitable day. As I watched the television last evening and observed the horrifying events that unfolded in Mumbai, India I realized that I truly do have much to be thankful for. My prayers go out to those who were (or are) injured as a result of the terrorists actions. If you’ve lost friends or family, Peace Be With You.

To all my friends,

Happy Thanksgiving

Advertising Successfully Online, in Social Media

There are 80+ Social Media platforms available for you to utilize to communicate with your audience. As I check in via my page on many of them I see blatent advertising for all kinds of things that people are selling… or hope to sell… to me or anyone they can lure to their sales page.

Some recent experiences tell me that this is not necessarily the best way to go about your marketing process. Why?

A BIG why is because it can get you BLOCKED by users of some of the sites and that can get you SUSPENDED from sites that you were “counting on” to reach your audience. Oops! So what do you do instead?

Try Blogging! Get yourself a free blog at WordPress.com and at Blogger.com and post to them regularly and write articles about your products that you have for sale and provide a link to your salespage there. Use Article Marketing concepts to their extremes.

Then, when you communicate with your audience on the Social Media sites, offer a link to your blogs and they can (if they wish) go there to read your articles and buy your wares if that works for them.

The GOOD news is if THEY choose to go to your Blog and from it, they make a purchase, you can’t be penalized for that. Make sure that the service you provide is ABOVE reproach! Be the BEST in your line of product sales. Give the best Service. Mail out the FASTEST! Tell everyone that is what you do. Get testimonials. Share them with your readers.

Just don’t share all that in the Social Media Platforms and YOU can Succeed in a Big Way!
