Spread Your MLM Business Like Swine Flu

I'm sure you've heard of Swine Flu. And, other than its classification as H1N1, we know its Flu like symptoms and awareness of what it can do to people has spread through the global news channels like wild fire.

This publicity has created a huge stir of concern. We as network marketers can learn something very valuable from Swine Flu - "It's known around the world."

Can you just imagine for one minute what your MLM business would be like if it had spread around the globe just like Swine Flu? I'm almost certain you will be in an entirely different position.

Well, there is a way you can make this possible through the power of PPC advertising. PPC advertising, done right, can give you the right amount of attention your MLM business needs - very similar to how people learned about Swine Flu.

WARNING! I don't encourage you to go out and jump into the deep-end by creating a PPC campaign and find yourself deep in debt with no sponsored distributors to show for it. That's why I recommend the use of PPC Domination.

Before you go out and pick up PPC Domination, there's a way you can get a huge discount on it. All you have to do is pick up your copy of Magnetic Sponsoring (unless you already have), then during the check out process you will get a one-time discount to pick up PPC Domination.

This discount will be so huge, you would be crazy not to pick up. Here's your discounted link.

Harry Potter and Network Marketing

What does Harry Potter and Network Marketing have in common?

Instead of the obvious, let's take this a step further to see what the two have in common...

• Harry Potter, a fictitious character from the J.K. Rowling book series, "Harry Potter and..." who is an adolescent wizard determined to the mastery of wizardry.
  
• Network Marketing, a marketing strategy to grow a business through the means of a person's social network where it requires a person to act in the role of an expert in the particular business.
  

What they have in common is "mastery of expertise."

Just like Harry Potter, network marketing requires mastery. That mastery for MLM will come in different forms such as; marketing, prospecting and recruiting, training, what have you.

When Harry Potter or the network marketer is working on mastering their particular skill, it's about learning all that you can about the skill and put it to use. The more you, practice if you will, the better you will become. And, the better you will become, the more recognized you will be.

Harry Potter and the book series itself did not get recognized until J.K. Rowling kept promoting it and getting it in front of people. The daily disciplines of promoting the book series and the main character Harry Potter contributed to their success.

Networking marketing and the MLMer is no different. The daily disciplines of growing your business, as we briefly mentioned before, and mastering them contribute to your success which allows you to become more recognizable.

Who else can you compare network marketing to?

What is Your Brand

I'm not talking about what product you sell or your business opportunity. What I am talking about is, what is it that you do and live by to grow your business?

In other words... Your Brand!


What is Your Brand!!!

Note: For every person their brand will be different in some fashion or another.

For your MLM business, your brand is...

• What makes your business unique.
• All about putting your twist on the way you do business.
• What people want and need.
  

Think about how you can create your brand. Throw some ideas out on a paper and ask yourself two questions.

1. Does it exemplify ME?
2. Will it help people with their primary problems?

If you can answer "Yes", you've got your brand for your network marketing business. Next step is to take action and carry out Your Brand.

Your thoughts

Social Media Wasting All of Your Time

With all of the great social media websites, one must wonder, "Why spend my time on these sites when I can be building my business."

Let's face it, the serious business owners acknowledge social media as a great vehicle to build their business, but it is not the only means by generating business. So many business owners are using the social media websites for the wrong reasons. You'll see people on there wishing their friends with "Happy Birthday Wishes" or messing around with their profile page, and these people think this is helping them grow their business.

This will not sustain growth in their home business! That's just the way it is.

Definitely do not let social media waste all of your valuable time. Now don't get me wrong, social media websites are great, but how you use them for your purpose, is key. Especially for the business owners. Find yourself messing around and not providing value to your audience, then watch and see how you're setting yourself up for failure.

While using the social media websites, be sure as I just mentioned, provide value. Sure you can still have fun or act as you are. It's just that you don't want to let it consume your time. If you do, you'll look back months down the wrong and wonder why social media has done nothing for you.

Tip on how to use social media websites - Make sure what you are doing is contributing to the growth of your company. Provide articles, post your blog, provide videos, etc. Just be sure it's helping your business move forward as well as others.

If you're not using social media as a means of building your business, then you don't need to worry as this only applies to the serious entrepreneurs.

2,175 Leads in One Year

Wouldn't you like to have that many leads literally knocking down your door to join what you have to offer?

Anyone with the right mind would love to attract that many interested prospects. But, in a sea of controversy and skepticism, how can anyone stay focused and pull in those kind of numbers?

As Earl Nightingale once said, "All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord." What Earl is saying here is stay focused on your destination and the results will follow. Well, generating over 2,000 leads per year has everything to do with knowing where you are as if you've already seen the results.

When I first pursued generating leads it was a learning curve. I started from very little. But that very little thing, "determination" kept me focused on the end goal. Once you have the determination to succeed and you stay on the track of reaching your goal, creating interesting leads is a given.

As Earl had mentioned, "...the answers will come to you of their own accord." So many people are looking for the immediate answer rather than working on the task at hand, "generating leads", that people get distracted from achieving their goals or finding the answers. This is why knowing where you will end is vital to your success.

What needs to happen to ensure you are pulling in leads is that you are doing the things which will allow you to fulfill that goal. In today's market, that means providing value to two types of people. The first one is someone who is in the market for which you are in. Either it's attracting "home business seekers" or "consumers of your products". The second type is someone currently in the market. A knowledgeable lead who already knows about your home business building techniques or products.

When you provide value to those two types of leads, you are fulfilling one aspect of how you can generate thousands upon thousands of leads on an annual basis. Now at first, there will be a learning curve. A rather big learning curve. That learning curve will consist of effective marketing, training, education in your business or product, and effective recruiting. These are only touching the surface, nevertheless, they demonstrate when you become a reputable source and begin sharing that information, attracting leads will follow.

If there is any doubt in your mind right now, then what you need to do is curb that doubt. All of us successful network marketers know this. If there is doubt, it will show. In that case, you'll never get the opportunity to generate any lead, period.

So right now, start with providing value to your target market. And be sure you are continuously educating yourself on your business or product. Otherwise, you're like a doctor without his/her doctorate who subscribes medicine. No one trusts that.

Build the trust of which you desire and you'll have an unlimited number of interested leads pursuing you.

Your thoughts

What kind of "provided value" do you think will pull in the most leads to anyone's business? What are some of the techniques you've used in your business? Please feel free to share your take on this topic by replying to this blog post here.
