Five Elements To Building An Online Business

Copyright © Lawren Smith

Guide To Marketing Success

Today, I am going to share with you the five critical elements that you need to have in order to build a successful network marketing business on the internet.

If you are either using or want to use the traditional methods of building a business; such as, contacting family and friends, network events, belly to belly, cold calling, or prospecting, those methods are fine. Those marketing strategies have worked for decades and they still work for some people, but maybe not for you.

Now, if you are ready to look at your business in a completely new way and move your business online and learn how to generate automatic income streams, multiple income streams, and how to sign-up more people into your business opportunity using the internet, that is exactly what MLMLeadSystemPro can do for you.

1. Lets begin. If you want to take your network marketing business online, there is really just these five elements. The first element is you need your own personalized, customizable webpages and capture pages. What I mean by this is, the majority of network marketers who have joined a network marketing company are issued some corporate, replicated websites and many think that these websites are all that they need to go out on the internet and start marketing and generating leads. This could not be the furthest thing from the truth.

What you need, if you want to be successful, if you want to follow the top producers in this industry who are building their business online, what you need is your own personalized webpages and capture pages. You need webpages that promote you, not your business opportunity. You need a webpage that has you videos, you pictures, your story so that you can position yourself online and begin to build relationships and build trust with the prospects you are bringing to your website. This cannot be achieved with a replicated, corporate website. And, you will not have success using a website such as this. You must have your own website.

This is the first big obstacle for many online entrepreneurs because they do not know the first thing about creating their own website. That is ok. MLMLeadSystemPro will take care of this for you.

2. The next thing is you will need to learn how to build your own list, which is a database of prospects. You will also need to have a way to automatically follow up and keep in touch with these prospects. When I say build a list, I am not talking about taking a piece of paper and writing down 100 people you know. This is not what is meant by building a list. Building a list means having a capture page that has a form on it, where it has a place for name, email address, and sometimes phone number. You drive traffic to your capture page and you generate leads with their contact information. This is how you build a list. The secret here is to build a list of hundreds, and eventually thousands of interested, high quality prospects.

As you begin to build that database of leads, you also have a system of follow-up that automatically keeps in touch, develops relationships, and builds trust with those prospects. You can build relationships with thousands of people, world-wide on auto-pilot while you sleep. This is the power of building a list and following up with this list. This is the next thing you will get with MLMLeadSystemPro.

3. Now, the number three element is a stream-lined sales funnel, where you are able to promote additional income streams, valuable tools and resources, and educational products that are going to help your prospects achieve their goals and they are going to help you create multiple income sources on complete auto-pilot. This is sometimes referred to as a funded proposal.

The concept here is very simple. 95% of the prospects that you will be bringing to your website or you are going to introduce to your primary opportunity are going to say no to you. 95% of your prospects are not interested in joining your primary business opportunity. This is perfectly ok as long as you understand this and as long as you have a system to monetize the 95 % of the prospects who say no. This is what MLMLeadSystemPro will show you how to do. You will be given the methodology and system to be able to profit from 14,15, 16 different income streams, or as many as you want on complete auto-pilot and make money from all of the people who say no to your primary opportunity. This is a critical factor that you must have in your business if you want to build this business on the internet.

4. OK, number four is you need a training platform and a duplicatable marketing system that you can plug your new distributor into. This is referred to as leverage. You absolutely need leverage in this industry. You need to have a way to take your new distributor and get them trained in the fundamentals of online marketing and in the latest, most effective marketing strategies. You are not going to have the time to take these people to train them all, hold their hands and teach them all of the marketing strategies that they need to understand. You need to have a training platform where you can say, go here, attend these webinars, watch these videos and learn how to drive traffic to your website through facebook, twitter, youtube, pay-per-click marketing, banners, or whaever marketing strategy they want to use. You will be given this duplicatable platform as well as a duplicatable marketing system so that they don't have to struggle trying to build their own website, create their own html pages and capture pages, create their own autoresponder. You want to plug your new distributor into this duplicatable system, be setup in a few hours or so, and be rockin' and rollin' with their marketing, so that they can get money into their pocket as soon as possible. This is a critical factor. You need to get money into your new distributor hands within their first 30-90 days. This will increase the retention of your prospects and increase you bottom line.

5. The last element to building an online business is you need an automated and natural way of getting your primary opportunity in front of prospects. Now, if you follow the MLMLeadSystemPro trainings, you will be shown step-by-step how to implement all five of these elements into a streamlined system. You can have this system up and running in a few hours, maybe a few days. This is the exact system that all top producers use in the network marketing industry who are building their business on the internet pretty much hands down.

How To Generate 50-100 Leads A Day?

Copyright © Lawren Smith

Guide To Magnetic Sponsoring

Alternative To MLM

Building a business online can be difficult; especially with all of the competition. To build a business using the internet starts with acquiring leads.

If you have tried to generate leads on your own for you home business using the internet, then you know how much money it can cost and how confusing the process can be.

The important thing is that if you are serious about having a business and you are very interested in learning, then this is a great place to start. You will need the willingness and desire to keep you moving forward.

So, here are some tips to generating 50-100 leads per day for your home business.

I will walk you through the process I use to generate my prospects. This is only a start. To better enhance you knowledge on generating leads and getting results, I suggest you find a mentor.

Ok, here it goes...

1. First, determine what the purpose is for generating leads. Are you interested in creating leads for your business opportunity, an affiliate product, a newsletter, etc?

2. You need to create a lead capture or squeeze page that is relevant to what you are trying to accomplish. This is a one page website that contains some free information in exchange for your prospects information, meaning there should be a place for your prospect to fill in their name, email address, and phone number (optional).

For best results, you capture or squeeze page should be placed on a hosting site, such as Godaddy (if you are new to hosting sites), hostgator, or some other hosting service. There are tons out there. I put up my own capture pages with built in autoresponders. I help others to do the same. It is not that difficult.

One other thing, don't ever use the website or lead capture page provided by your MLM or network marketing company. They are more informational than persuasive and they just don't work!

Once a prospect fills in his or her information, you have now generated a lead. Usually the the capture or squeeze page should re-direct the lead to a website of your choice. This can be your personal website, your opportunity overview, or some other generic "how to" information.

3. You will need to select a method or methods for advertising. Google adwords, press releases, video marketing, etc. I use them all. There are many more advertising methods to use. If you need some suggestions, I can help.

Once you have selected a method of advertising, it is time to begin you marketing. All of you advertisements should contain a link to your lead capture page. This is where you will be sending everyone to. As you run your advertisements and traffic flows to your website, you leads will start to come through ending up in your autorepsonder, which I mentioned above.

4. Once you leads are added to your email autoresponder, it is your responsibility to maintain the emails in your autoresponder. This allows you to build an ongoing relationship for your prospects.

Your emails should be following up with your prospects every 2 - 3 days. As you develop your relationships with you list of leads, they will begin calling you.

5. Track where you leads are coming from. The way I do this is to place a tracking code after my url. For example, if I am using Google Adwords, my url may look something like this: http://www.GenerateOnlineSuccess.com/?t=mlm. The "?t=mlm" is my tracking code indicating the keyword in my Google Adwords. If it is ezines, my tracking code might look somethings like: "?t=ezine" or something similar. I think you get the message.

6. Monitor your list on a regular basis. You list is only valuable when there is trust and respect established between you and them.

7. Repeat the above mentioned steps.

Putting this into action repeatedly will bring you hundreds of new leads each day, week, or month. The key is knowing where to place the advertisements, how to write them, and what to place on your capture page. All of these are of much importance and will determine how successful your results are.

Personally, I have spent thousands of dollars on trainings and tools to help enhance my marketing. Thus, it is also important that you invest your enhancing your marketing abilities as well as you business knowledge. Being able to offer others value is a determinant on whether others will find you to be a person of value. So, be willing to invest in yourself.

One last thing. You will encounter difficulties, frustrations, and even failures during your business process. Just hang in there. The reason for the high failure rate in home businesses is because most people do not stay around long enough to learn the skills they will need to get the results they are looking for in a home business. If you stay in the game and learn well, the end results will be well worth it. Don't give up!

If you want to avoid most of the struggles in building a home business and hit the ground running, find someone who has already done it. Learn from them, follow their example, and you will get the success you so desire.

Guide To Marketing Success

Today, I am going to discuss something that is very important to me, which is marketing. I always come back to this subject because so often I see many network marketers and other home business owners spending very little time learning about marketing.

Most home businesses teach their new recruits the old methods of marketing; such as talking to friends and family, talking to anybody that they meet; talking to as many people as possible. In other words, sell, sell, and sell. But the truth of the matter is, most people do not like to be sold to. How often does one encounter an individual who is trying to proposition them into buying a product or service from them or joining their business opportunity? How often does this happen online? Too often. Hence, when confronted by an individual who is trying to sell them something, they the walls go up.

I know because this was what I was first taught when I joined my first business opportunity. Today, I see why I got a lot of rejection. Much of the rejections stemmed from my inexperience in connecting with people but the other reason was, most people just were not interested. Most people out there, especially those who have a job, just want to work their jobs. They did not want to hear about some home business. What is that? Is this a pyramid scheme?

Early in my home business career, I encountered a lot of rejection. This did not do much for my moral. But, I am not a quitter. I continued to do what I was taught. I was able to start getting people to join me in my business opportunity, but unfortunately, the people I brought into my business were not willing to engage in the marketing strategies that were being taught. Many were not duplicating the marketing methods; so of course, this meant no money, no prospects, and soon no business. Many ended up quitting.

Of course, I am very intense about having a successful business and this, for me, meant I needed to engage many of the marketing methods that were being taught. This was what my upline taught me and he knew more than me right? Well, later I found out this was not so.

This is why within any business there needs to be a system in place that will teach new distributors, recruits, business owners, how to market. If there is not a system in place, then one should look for one because without a marketing system to learn, failure is almost a guarantee.

About 4 months ago, I found this system, called MLMLeadSystemPro, that trains how to market a business. Much of the marketing methods taught are done online and I like this because it gives me the flexibility to work out more out of my home and set a schedule that is built around my personal life.

MLM Lead System Pro is actually a training tool that one can use to build their business. Some of the marketing methods taught include video marketing, submitting articles, Google Adwords, and much more. The approach of our marketing or the philosophy of the marketing is based on “Attraction Marketing”. This system teaches you how to set yourself up as a leader. It helps to set yourself up as someone who is knowledgeable about business and marketing; someone who can offer value to anybody who is interested in building a successful business. Most people are attracted to leaders, which is why you want to become a leader. Even new people can present themselves as a leader. All that is necessary is to learn the marketing techniques taught by the MLM Lead System Pro marketing system.

This requires that the business owners take his or her marketing education seriously. This means to engage in the trainings and the marketing strategies that are being taught so that you can share your knowledge with others and thus become the leader that many home business owners are looking for.

Another great thing about this “tool” as I refer to it as, is that you don’t have to train your new business partners. Just plug them into the MLMLeadSystemPro trainings and let the system take over the training for you. This leaves you more time to spend on your marketing. I am currently doing this with my leads and business partners.

Since joining MLM Lead System Pro barely four months ago, I have started earning cash flow that is paying for most, if not all, of my marketing. This system does offer a sales funnel in the back office. There are affiliate programs in the back office. Some are free and some are paid, but the end result is you, as an affiliate get paid commissions once someone has purchased one or more of the products.

Often what happens is as you continue to bring more people to your MLMLeadSystempro website, they will also be exposed to you business. This will then lead to many joining your business. This too is what has happened with me. Of course, even if they don’t join your business, you can still earn money from many of them as they start to purchase the various products from your affiliate companies.

In the four month period I have been with MLM Lead System Pro, I am bringing in 20-30 leads per day which has generated a total of over 800 leads. A number of those leads have gone on and joined my primary business. I am also earning money from both the affiliates and my primary business.

If you are serious about building your business and build it quickly, visit www.Guide2MarketingSuccess.com Once you do come through, please leave your name and number. I always like to call my prospects to help them get them started in the right direction.

Starting A Home Business

Copyright © Lawren Smith

Guide 2 Marketing Success
Generate Success Online

Today, I would like to address the topic of my blog to those who are currently involved in their own home business or who are considering starting a home business.

First, I will share with you my story. I have been involved in the home business industry for five going on six years. Since my involvement, I have learned quite a bit about the home business industry; in particular, about marketing.

When I started my first home business with a health and wellness company over five years ago, most the marketing methods I was taught was using offline methods. The methods used were putting out fliers, passing out business cards, talking to my family and friends, recruiting people from shopping centers or malls, and more. I got kicked off of numerous shopping center parking lots and mall by the police. This was because soliciting on the premises was not allowed. I did not have a whole lot of success using these methods. I know there are individuals who have used these methods and have done very well. If this style of marketing suites you, there is definitely nothing wrong with using these methods.

For many people, in particular, people like myself, who is an introvert, I never felt comfortable using these methods of marketing. It was because of this, that I knew that is was not something I wanted to continue to do. I knew that as I got older, this style of marketing would become harder to do. Chasing after people in an attempt to get them to join your business opportunity or purchase your products requires a lot of work.

About a little over a year ago, I made the decision to market my business using the internet. I felt the using the computer was a little more my style; especially since I am a software developer. Since making this decision, I am actually starting to have a lot more success. My success is not fully based on the fact that I have the technical skills. I believe that a lot of my success has to do with the fact that I have grown so much over the years. I have gained a better understanding of how to run a business and I understand the importance of having skills in sells, marketing, and effective communication. In order to have a successful business, all of these skills are necessary and it takes time to develop.

Those individuals who have experienced a career in sales, usually do quite well in MLM or network marketing. This is because the skills they used during their career are necessary skills in MLM or network marketing. This is not to say that people who have no prior experience in sells can’t find success in network marketing , quite the contrary, but what it means is that it will require those of us new to sells, marketing and effective communication will have to learn first before we see any great amount of results in our business. How long it takes to learn these skills is going to be determined by the individuals.

Because I had to learn many of the skills on my own, it took me a while to learn. This is why, when I made the decision to venture onto the internet, I also started to look for a company that would help me enhance these skills more quickly. It was soon after making this decision, the I encountered a company called Guide2MarketingSuccess.com. This is a company that I am using to help me market my primary business opportunity.

This company has trainings that are shown in video format. They teach you marketing methods using social networking sites, ezines and solo ads, free classified, forum marketing, video marketing, content and article marketing, listbuilders, payperclick marketing, and many more.

This company was created by three individuals who are the top earners in their perspective primary business. They are sharing with us the same marketing methods they use to market their own primary business which has allowed them to earn a 6 to 7 figure income per month. I know two of them have not been involved with their perspective companies for very long. For example, my upline, who is one of the founders of this company, in his first month made over $25K and my direct upline made $17K within his second month. Both were able to quit their jobs within their first year of starting their business.

Those individuals, who are not finding much success in their business, need to inquire why this is happening. Is it because you are not being taught properly how to market your business? Are you truly investing the time to learn how to market your business and then implementing what you have learned? Is it because you are not learning the skills? What is preventing you from getting you to the level you want in your business? One needs to constantly ask themselves this question as a means to learn more about themselves and learn what they are lacking in their business.

The skills I am learning will eventually lead to me having a system that is automated, meaning, I will not have to day in and day out maintain the system. The system will be able to take care of itself without much interference from me. When one first starts a home business, yes, you will be spending a lot of time and effort involved with your business but this is because you are learning new skills. Once these skills are learned, you can then decrease the time and effort, but you should never totally let the system run on its own. Even skilled entrepreneurs will have to continue to learn new skills to get better at what they do, which is building a business.

Also, any skills learned will better suit you by sharing those skills with anybody who has joined you in your business. This is because in most MLM’s and network marketing companies, your success is based on the success of other. Therefore, sharing your knowledge and your skills is very much necessary.

Your reason for lack of success, more often than not, is not going to be the fault of the company, its services or its products. The fault lies on you. You are the one who is inhibiting your success in some form or fashion. This means your success is going to be determined by you. This also means you are going to need to invest time in learning the right knowledge and skills to help you reach the success you are looking for in your business. This is so you can establish yourself as a leader. Most people love to follow leaders. This is something I am learning from Guide2MarketingSuccess.com I have learned the importance of being a leader and it has helped me to focus on learning as much as I can so that I can in turn help others.

It is because I want more control over my own life that I have decided to continue pursuing a business of my own. I believe that having your own business is the only way one can attain freedom and lifestyle. A job cannot and will not give this to you.

How Does MLMLeadSystemPro Work?

Copyright © Lawren Smith

Make More Money & Generate More Leads

I have been a member of MLMLeadSystemPro for three months. This system is not a business, but a tool that network marketer, MLM’ers, home business owners, etc can use to market their business.

I will attempt to explain how this website works. First, when you first signup, one of the first things you should do is go through the 10 steps in getting your MLMLeadSystemPro (MLSP) system setup. This means, you will be required to setup your profile, purchase a domain for your replicated website, get your autoresponder setup, signup for the various affiliates, setup your method of payment as well as determine how you want to get paid. I believe there is only one way and that is through paypal. If you don’t have a paypal account, it is a very simple process to get one setup. You will also be required to enter your tax id number. This means, your social security number or a tax id number.

I used my tax id number. This was a very simple process. I currently live in Montgomery Alabama. To get my tax id number, I just called Montgomery City Hall and talked to the business license department. It took about 15 minutes to get my tax id number. For those who are interested in getting a tax id number for your business, call your Chamber of Commerce. Tell them you are interested in getting a tax id number. You will be directed to the right department to help you attain your tax id number.

I advise getting through the 10 step “getting started” process as quickly as possible. You want to test this system as completely as possible before your 14 day trial period is up. It took me 2 days to get through the 10 step trainings. The third day I started on my marketing and I am doing this part-time.

After you have everything setup, get started on the “Marketing Trainings”. Select one method that interests you the most. I started with MySpace because I already had an account with them. You also might want to consider choosing a viral system to send emails every so often advertising your business. MLMLeadSystemPro offers two. One is called ViralUrl and the other is called ListJoe. ViralUrl is the preferred system to use. You can send 3000 emails every 3 days. Either one, ViralUrl or ListJoe is good.

Once you have one marketing method completed, then go on ahead and select another one. Do this until you have at least three marketing methods to use. For the more advanced marketers, I suggest at least four or five marketing methods. I believe I am using five.

The key to successful marketing is persistence and consistence in your marketing efforts. You want to bring as many people as you can to your MLSP website. The technique you want to implement is called “Attraction Marketing”. This is the primary philosophy of MLSP. In order to accomplish this, you want to share with other home business owners how the MLSP system can help them with their business. Keep in mind, most people are concerned with “what is in it for me”. So, you tell them exactly how the MLM Lead System Pro can help with earn more cash and generate more leads for their business.

You might want to share with them you marketing experience and knowledge. This shows you to be a leader and people love to follow leaders. Share with them how this system has benefited you. You want to show people that you are offering them value and that you are available to help them address the two major issues that confront network marketers every day in their business, which is cash flow and lead generation.

Once people start to visit your MLSP website, they will not only see your affiliate links in your back office, but also your primary business. If you have more than one primary business, they will be given the opportunity to see all of them. What this means for you is that it opens the door to having your leads make purchases from your affiliate links and opt in or join your home business. This means money for you and leads for your primary business; all by marketing just one website.

The more leads you bring to your MLM Lead System Pro website, the more money you will make and the more members you will have in your primary business. This is why it is so important to develop your marketing skills because this is the only way in which to connect with enough people that will enable you to build a successful business. Without marketing skills, you have little to no chance of achieving any kind of success in any business.

As your marketing skills develop, you want to have at least 30 leads or more per day coming through. Bringing in more leads is even better. I think Norbert says he brings in 50-100 leads per day.

In conclusion, the MLMLeadSystemPro is a tool that you can use to build your home business as well as earn money to put back into your marketing. You may also want to consider sharing this system with the members who join your primary business. This will enable you to use the system to train others, thus giving you more time to engage in your marketing. Let MLMLeadSystemPro train them for you. The more success your business partners have, the more success you will have in your business.

Today I want to talk about what is going on with the economy. As many of you have noticed, a lot of people are being laid-off from their jobs and are having a hard time finding new jobs.

I want to especially communicate with those who are involved in the technical industry. If you are not involved in the technical industry, this is fine.

Allow me to share with you my story. I am a software developer. I have been a software developer for over 20 years. I have had a pretty successful career. I, too, went through a number of downsizings. I lost my home, my car, and I found myself having to start my life all over again at the age of 42.

The reason I was experiencing such a difficult time in recovering from these downsizings is because I was downsized one job after another and after each downsizing, it took me 4-6 months to find another job. This was very unusual for me because, early in my career, I was able to find a job within a week.

I had quite a lot of funds set aside, but I was quickly going through the my funds. The downsizings occurred one after another and the amount of time it took me to find a job greatly decreased my savings until I had very little left.

After this experience, I had to move back in with my mom. At 42, this was not easy to do; especially since I had been on my own since I was 18 years old. But, this was something I was forced to do.

After moving in with my mother, I made the decision that I no longer wanted to work for anybody else again. I wanted more control over my life.

As most people involved in the technical industry know, we work a lot of hours; long hours. I know I spent more hours at my job than I did at my home. Although I made good money, I had very little time to enjoy it and spend time doing things I wanted to do. I often refer to situations like this as “trading time for money”.

I knew I wanted to make some changes in my life. I wanted a better quality of life. I wanted to spend more time with my family. I also wanted to spend more time doing things I enjoy doing like playing my guitars, hanging out at the beach, traveling, and more. But, during much of my career, I rarely had any time to do any of these activities. Instead, I spent most of my time working.

When I made the decision to start working for myself, I started looking for a business opportunity. I did not know anything about the home business industry. About, almost six years ago, I discovered my first home business with whom I was involved for almost four years.

One of the things I did not know is the importance of marketing. Now, since I am a “computer geek” so to speak, I knew that I did not want a brick and mortar type business.

I failed in my first home business. I believe the failure was due to the fact that I was not taught properly how to market my business. My sponsor taught me how to put out fliers, pass out business cards, talk to my family and friends and other old-fashioned methods. These methods did not work for me. I am sort of an introvert. I am not an outgoing, people person.

A year ago, I made the decision t use the internet to market my business. This is what I am doing now.

I want to share my knowledge and help those, especially those who have either been laid-off or are about to be laid-off. I know, from my own experience, being laid-off is not fun. In fact each time I was laid-off, I cried.

Those individuals, who are involved in the technical industry, have the computer skills that can be used to help them attain success much more quickly using the online marketing methods. Even if you don’t have the technical skills, these marketing skills can still be learned.

This company, www.Guide2MarketingSuccess.com , is a company that will help anyone, who is interested, to learn how to market online. The marketing methods taught include, listbuilding, ezines, free classifieds, social network marketing, content/article marketing, and, my favorite, pay-per-click using Google Adwords.

This company will also teach you all of these methods and much more. All that is required is to watch the training videos and then implement what has been taught.

Those individuals who were recently laid off or will be laid-off soon, from companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, EBay, AOL, Hewlett-Packard, AT&T, Sun Microsystems, Intel, Dell, IBM, and many other computer companies, can easily make the transition from employee to owning an online home business. They can also quickly attain success because all of these individuals already possess the technical skills necessary to learn the online marketing skills.

In fact, anybody technical or non-technical can easily learn these skills as long as you practice each day and implement what you have been taught. In time, you will, sooner than later, become a master marketer.

If you don’t have a business of your own and if you do decide to check out this business, you will have the opportunity to take a look at my primary business opportunity. I also have a second business opportunity that may be of interest to you. You can decide whether you want to join either one of them.

Even if you do already have a primary business of your own, you can still use this simple marketing system to market your business. If you choose t use this system, I have no doubt that you will experience success in your business sooner than I did. I don’t ever want any of you to have to go through what I went through to get to where I am today.

I also want to stress here that knowing how to market your business is very important. Without marketing skills, failure is eminent. So, if you have been laid-off or are about to be laid-off, and you want to make a change in your life, you don’t want to return to the employee status, you want to be your own boss, have more control over your life, spend more time with your family and make more money than you ever dreamed possible, start a home business today!

I suggest you to www.Guide2MarketingSuccess.com and get started with your trainings. You can even take the test drive, which costs only $1.00. Once you get your system setup, and start implementing the trainings, you can then determine whether this is a system you want to use to promote your home business.

Learn Video Marketing With MLMLeadsytemPro

Today the topic I am going to cover is video marketing. I have only been using video marketing to market my business for a little over 2 months, but despite the fact that I am new to this marketing method, it has helped me to bring in quite a number of leads for my business.

I was first introduced to using videos to market my business when I joined MLMLeadSytemPro. At first, I was hesitant to use videos to market my business. Wait. Strike that. I did create one video, but the video did not include me in it. It was a video where I showed the MLM Lead System Pro website; the trainings offered, etc. Doing a video where I am not in it was fine with me. Why? Well, I am a very shy individual and the thought of having my face plastered all over on the internet did put fear in my heart. But, I got over this pretty quickly because I had heard of others who were achieving success using this marketing method, in particular my upline, Jim.

Another reason why videos are such a good way to market your business is because it is a way for others to connect with you. Building relationships is a very important aspect of marketing and business building because people don’t join businesses, they join people. And, people more often than not are more willing to purchase products, services or join a business opportunity when there has been trust established between you and your prospects. So, go on ahead and put your face out there. Let people know who you are and show them that you can offer them value. All of this shows that you are a leader, which is a quality many folks love and will follow. Exhibiting leadership qualities are what many people, especially those looking for a business opportunity, will flock to.

Now, there are many ways to in which to create a video. You can use a video camera. You can use your cell phone. Most cell phones, nowadays, have the capability of creating a video. I know mine does. You can also use a digital camera. All of these work.

As for me, I decided to use my computer and since I have a webcam on my laptop, I thought I would start from there. The problem I ran into was trying to find software to use that would allow me to create videos. I thought it was strange that my computer had a camera or a webcam but no way to use it. Thus, I started looking on the internet for software to use with my webcam. After much search, I finally found one. It is called “WinAVI Video Capture”. The best part is, it is also free.

Now, I know there are better tools to use for creating videos. One that comes to mind is Camtasia, but this tool can cost anywhere into the $300.00 range and more and I was not willing, in the early stages of building my business, to spend money on software; especially since I could get it for free and yes, this too is free.

Another tool, I use is called “Window Movie Maker”. If you have a windows operating system, most often this should already be installed on your computer.

Lastly, since there are media sites that do not accept videos in “.wmv” format, which is the format Windows Movie Maker generates, it is a good idea to get software that will convert videos into various formats. I use “AVS Video Converter”. Unfortunately, this tool is not free, but it is very inexpensive. I believe I spent maybe $29.95.

Now this is all that I use to create my videos. Once you have a topic in mind that you want to talk about, you use whatever tool you have available to create the video. What I do, is run the “WinAVI Video Capture” to record my video. Once I am satisfied with the video, most times it takes me 3 or more tries before I have a video that I am satisfied with.

After creating my video, I then used “Window Movie Maker to include titles on my videos; like my website url and other pertinent information. I then publish it and once you do this, the format will be in “.wmv”. This is why you need the converter because some sites won’t allow you to upload this format. Thus, you can use the tool to convert any video into any format.

Once I have created my video, the next step is to upload it to some media sites. First, you need to select some keywords for your video. In order to do this, I suggest you use Google Adwords Keyword tool (Google Keyword Tool External) or use WordTracker Keywords (Free Keywords WordTracker) Both will allow you to get some keywords for your topic. Also, whatever the topic of your video is, say it is about dog grooming, the description of your video should include a number of the keywords. Your title should also include your main keyword. All of these will help get your video on the first page of Google.

When you have uploaded you video to a particular media site, it is quite possible to see your video within a matter of minutes. I am not kidding. Today, I uploaded a video to Viddler.com and while I am still in Viddler, I see that it has already been viewed. Thinking that this is impossible, I go check to see whether it is already on the internet, I type in one of my main keywords, and there it is. In fact, it was number 3 on the first page of Google. Despite the fact that I have done this numerous times, it still amazes me how quickly your video can show up on the first page of Google.

Well, that is it. I hope you found this to be helpful. I try to share what I have learned with others. I suggest that if you want to learn more about this topic, go to www.ezmlmprofits.com. You will find numerous trainings on video marketing as well as on other marketing methods, such as social networking, forum posting, and even Google Adwords, which is one area I have always failed in and I am now finding much more success. I have started generating tons of leads using Google Adwords. This system is phenomenal.

Discover How To Market In Social Networking Sites With MLMLeadSystemPro

Copyright © Lawren Smith

Generate Success Online

Today, I am going to discuss how to market your business on social networking sites. Much of what I discuss today are things I have learned from MLMLeadSystemPro. For starters, it is important that you have a picture of yourself that matches what you currently look like today. It is best to present yourself as who you are today as opposed who you were yesterday. Today you want to present yourself as a leader, so if you don't have a recent picture of yourself, I suggest you either get one taken by a family member or friend, or go somewhere where you can have your picture taken. Pictures are a way in which to connect with others, so they are very important.

Once you have a picture of yourself selected, you want to setup your profile. Most people who setup a profile within a social networking site, usually are promoting their business opportunity, their products or services. You don't want to do this. You want to set yourself apart from others and the way to accomplish this is to setup your profile where you are talking about yourself. The reason for this is quite simple. You are not really marketing your products, your services or your business opportunity. You are marketing yourself. Here is food for thought. People join people, not businesses.

In your profile, you can share your experiences in network marketing, your failures and successes in building a business, but it is also advisable to share information about yourself. Some things you might want to consider in sharing information about yourself is talk about your interests, your hobbies, or some of your goals. Anything that concerns you and that you think will interest others is always a good idea to include in your profile.

Once you have your profile setup, then you need to engage in exposing yourself within the site and what I mean by this is to start introducing yourself to others within the social networking site. Some things I do is I will every day send out about 30-50 invitations to people. Don't go over 50 because most social networking sites don't allow this. If you do go over 50, you will be reprimanded and one of the ways in which social networking sites do this is by disabling your account. I know because FaceBook did this to me. Of course, once this does happen, what you can do is to create another account, using a different email address, which is what I did once FaceBook disabled my account. This was about 2 months ago. I have also received warnings from MySpace. Anytime your account is disabled, this means you have to start all over again and that is a pain, but we do what is required of us as entrepreneurs.

Afer reestablishing an account with a social networking site, it is key to immediately engage in your marketing. Be diligent with your marketing. After my account was disable, this is what I did and it has paid off. I now have over 2000 friends in my friends list. This is only because I have been very persistent and consistent in my marketing efforts. Being persistent and consistent is key to any marketing method that you use. It is a lot of work in the beginning, but in the end, you will be paid dividends for your hard work.

The goal of marketing in a social networking site is to set yourself up as a leader. Let people know that you are a knowledgable business person and you are available to help others who are struggling with their MLM/Network Marketing. One way to do this is to create a group. Most social networking sites do allow you to create a group. In a group, you can talk about your business; not so much as a means of marketing it, but just to let those who join your group, what type of experiences you have in managing your own business.

Once you create your group, start sending out invitations to people to join your group. Again, you want to send, maybe, 30-50 invitations to people informing them of your group. I am not sure how often you should do this in some of the other social networking sites, like MySpace, BetterNetworker, or DirectMatches, but I know in FaceBook, you want to send about 30-50 invitations every other day.

Your group should have some kind of purpose. I have a group in FaceBook and basically what I do is share my knowledge about marketing and running a business. I do this by sending helpful information to the members in my group every other day. I also send out inspirational articles to people in my group. These are just some of the ways in which I build relationships with the people in my group.

Often, as a means of displaying leadership, I will post helpful articles on my profile. I will also post an article within the blog section or article section of the social networking site. All of these methods is a way in which, you as a leader, are building relationships with others, letting others know that you are a leader, and also setting yourself apart from those individuals that spend most of their time marketing their products, services or business opportunity.

For my business with www.ezmlmprofits.com, I do market this because this is considered to be a tool that anybody who owns a network marketing or online business can use. Again, I want to help other network marketers and online business owners, so I share with them this tool called www.ezmlmprofits with others because it is something that will help them grow their business. Therefore, I will often post some information about this company, include a link and also include a banner to make the post more noticeable.

Speaking of banners. Banners are a good way to market your business. I have used banners in FaceBook and in DirectMatches (www.directmatches.com/lawrensmith). In FaceBook, I have posted banners on my profile page and then sent invitations to people so that when they come by to my profile, one of the things they will immediately see is my banner. I have also posted banners in DirectMatches. I usually post the banners in the comment section of other members of Directmatches. The banners are actually clickable, meaning that once someone clicks on them, they will be taken to my website. I had this happen to me today. Someone opted into my website from a banner that I had posted in DirectMatches a while ago. Often, in marketing, you may not see the results immediately, but this is because what you are doing is planting seeds. Over time, you will reap the benefits of the seeds that you sow.

In conclusion, social networking sites are a great way to get leads. This is because social networking sites allow you to establish relationships with people. People are more willing to join or purchase from people they trust and this is why creating relationships with people online or even offline is so important for people who are interested in building a business. Also, being consistent and persistent in your marketing efforts is key to a successful marketing plan. Lastly, set aside time to engage in income producing activities and I am not talking about sending emails or talking on the phone to members in your group. You need to keep your pipeline full of new prospects coming in and thus, being fully engaged in your marketing is vital to having a successful business.

You can learn more about social networking from MLM Lead System Pro also known as MLMLeadSystemPro. There are a number of video trainings to help you successfully start marketing within any social networking site.

Next time, I will share with you my knowledge on video marketing.

MLMLeadSystemPro Offers Training On Forum Posting

Copyright © Lawren Smith

EZ MLM Profits
Carbon Copy Success Program

In the past, I have focused the topic of my blog on either my primary business, which is CarbonCopyPro (www.GenerateSuccessOnline.com) or the business I use to market my primary business called MLMLeadSystemPro (www.EZMLMProfits.com).

Today, I am going to do something new and in fact, from here on, this will probably be the focus of my blogs, which is to teach others various ways to market their business. After all, this is what I do so why not use my blogs to train others.

The topic I am going to cover today is forum posting. The reason I am going to start off talking about forum posting is because this is one of the first marketing methods I used to market one of my business opportunities. In fact, I was quite successful in utilizing this marketing method.

My reason for selecting forum posting as a method to promote my home business is because, one, the learning curve is not too steep, and two, it is a method that I could quickly use to market my business. Another reason I selected posting to forums is because it is free. One can’t beat that.

Today, I will offer some tips on posting to forums that worked well for me. One of the first things I would suggest that one do is to signup up with maybe 3-5 different forums. The more forums you sign-up for, the more results you will generate for your home business. I started out with 3, then 5, but overtime, I was posting to as many as 10 forums regularly.

In order to signup for a forum, click on the “Register” link. The process of registering for a forum is quite simple. Most times, all that is required is to enter your name, a username, password, and some other personal information.

While you are registering, one of the more important aspects of this process is creating, what is known as a “signature file” Now, the signature file is the primary way of advertising your business. Most forums don’t allow you to blatantly advertise your business. Sometimes, you will encounter a forum that has a topic that specifies that you can advertise your business opportunity here. But, if you don’t see a note stating that you are allowed to advertise your business, then don’t do it. If you do, you will be kicked out of the forum as a spammer and they don’t allow you to return.

Now, the way to get around the rule of not being able to advertise is to create your signature file. Here you can put you name along with the link to your website for your business. In some cases, some forums will allow you to put in up to 3 or more links to other businesses you may be affiliated with. Most times though, you may be allowed at most two business opportunities for you to promote.

You may also use HTML to create your signature file. Usually, the HTML code used varies based on the forum you are posting to. You will see a link that you click on that will show you specifically the HTML code allowed. It is really quite simple, but if you have not used HTML code before, it may become difficult and in this case, it is best to get some help from someone.

My signature file usually contained a greeting, followed my name and then a link to my business and I always, if allowed, used HTML code where the link would open my website in another window. It is best to keep your audience in the forum while viewing your website.

After you have setup your profile and created your signature file, you are now ready to begin posting. Forums have various topics under which you can post an article. The article that you post within the forum must be relevant to the topic or else, again, you will be reprimanded. The best articles to post are articles where you addressing other people’s issues; such as, most network marketers are struggling with their marketing, you can offer a suggestion or tip that will be helpful to these struggling marketers. In other words, your posts should present you as someone who is knowledgeable on various subjects relating to business. This sets you up as a leader. Why is this important? People join people not businesses. Your marketing should be about you, not your business opportunity, or your products or your services. You want people to join your business because of you. This is the essence of network marketing. You are marketing you.

Now, here is a tip I learned about posting to forums. When you post to a forum, you want to be the one to create or generate a thread. Why? Well, for the same reason I mentioned above. It sets you apart from others. By starting a thread, and if you article is interesting enough, others will take notice of your post and reply. This was my approach to posting to forums. I often would create 3-5 different posts under 3-5 different topics within the forum. Again, you want to post articles to other forums, at least 3-5 starting out. The more you do, the more and better results you will generate with your forum posting.

The great thing about posting to forums is that almost all forums offer either the same or similar topics within the forum, so what I did is any posts I created, I would copy that article and save it in notepad. Then I would use that same post in another forum and post it under the topic that was either the same or very similar. This is how I was able to post to so many different forums in one night. I will add a caution here. When you do copy and paste articles while posting to forums, be sure to change a few words here and there. Some people consider this to be spamming. Thus, in order to not be accused of spamming, I would change a few words here and there so that none of the posts looked exactly alike.

One last thing is be sure to respond to any replies you get from your posts. If you don’t, then you will be accused of being a spammer and you will be kicked out of the forum. I suggest that you create a separate email account just for the replies because if you do as many postings as I did, you will get tons of replies.

Now, don’t get discouraged if you are not getting the results you are looking for. Remember, you are learning and because you are learning, you will not have the skill set yet for posting to forums. This was true for me. It was because I was so persistent and consistent with my forum posting , that I improved. I am sure you have heard of the saying, “practice makes perfect”. Well, your posting skills may not be perfect, but they will definitely improve over time.

I believe that it was the forum posting that helped me with my article writing skills. I had to come up with various ideas on what I was going to post and then write about it. Sometimes, I would open either wordpad or notepad and create about 3 – 5 different articles before I would actually start posting. Then I would just start copying my articles to the various forums. I also spent about an hour or so each night responding to replies. This became my regiment to forum posting.

After 3 months, I had generated quite a few leads in the backoffice of my business opportunity. I had done so many postings that in 3 or 4 months, I was told that over 12,000 people had visited my website. That was amazing; especially for someone who was very new to network marketing.

You too can have this same kind of success from posting to forums if you are consistent and persistent with you postings,. Post to as many forums as you can under as many topics as you can, and within each forum set yourself up as a leader by addressing the issues of other network marketers, share you knowledge, offer help and assist using the articles. Believe me, many will take notice and start to look to you for answers to their business or marketing problems.

One last thing, periodically, change your signature files. Don’t let your signature file say the same thing. Maybe once a month, change it to something else. This too will keep others within the forum on their toes and will arouse interest in your link.

Well, that is it. I hope you found this to be helpful. When done correctly, posting to forums can be a very powerful marketing method to generate leads for your business. It is important that you practice at developing your skills in this area and once you do, you will see fantastic results.

MLMLeadSystemPro Offers You More Choices For Your Marketing

Copyright © Lawren Smith

EZ MLM Profits

This article is going to cover the top of marketing; primarily online versus offline marketing. The reason I am addressing this topic is because in the past few days, I have been approached by a number of people who have expressed an interest in me joining their business opportunity. Now, my opportunity, MLMLeadSystemPro, trains people to market their business online. You still have a choice to market your business offline too, if this marketing style suits you, but offline marketing is not for everyone.

Usually, the methods used for marketing offline include face-to-face conversations, cold calling, fliers, home parties, etc. For many people, new and experienced alike, offline marketing is very difficult. I know that it is very difficult for me. I have been involved in the home-based business industry for over 5 years and I still find offline marketing to be difficult. It is something I never felt comfortable in doing. It could be because it is based on my personality. Everyone is different and everyone is entitled to be different. If you are marketing a business, there should be available to you ways in which you can choose to market your business. Whatever choice you make should be fun for you. If you have a home business of your own, it should be something that you enjoy doing. Otherwise, why have a home business? Why not just continue working at a job?

Because I have been in the home business industry for a while now, I have met quite a number of other people who have been in the home business industry for about 4 or more years. In fact, one company I was involved with for almost 4 years, we used to have what is referred to as STS’s, which stands for Success Training Seminars. They are usually located within some city in a state near where you live. I used to go to my STS’s regularly, once a month. In these settings, there would be some of the business leaders who would get up front and talk about their successes. I recall a number of these individuals admitting that talking to strangers on the phone or having face-to-face conversations with people, sharing with prospects their products and the business opportunity, still made them nervous. Now, mind you, these are individuals who have achieved success in their business. Many were making $10K or more every month, but still talking to strangers was something that still continued to stress them out.

Well, after 2 years or more, I noticed that these individuals were not coming to the seminars anymore. I asked one of the other individuals, whom I was friends with, what happened to some of these members. He told me that they quit and joined another business opportunity. I knew about this business opportunity and although the products were very similar, the marketing strategy used was the internet; thus, almost eliminating the need to talk to strangers every day. This, I assume was due to the fact, that even after 3, 4 years or more, these individuals did not enjoy doing their business due to the amount of stress and discomfort they experienced from having to talk to strangers.

If doing the face-to-face marketing, cold calling, or chasing prospects is what you want to do and you actually enjoy it, I see no problem with this kind of marketing; especially if it is working for you. Again, having your own business should be something you enjoy.

I am sharing this with you because if you have a marketing system in place, one should be able to duplicate it. It should be something whereby almost anyone can come in and be able to do. If your marketing system offers your prospects only one marketing method that involves going out and talking to people, cold calling, putting out fliers, etc, which I did for many years, you are going to find it difficult to arouse an interest in people who are like myself, introverted, shy, or even new to home businesses, who will be willing to engage in this kind of marketing. They may do it for a while, but like the example I had given about, they may not stay; especially if someone else comes along and tells them hey, I have a system where you don’t have to chase people down anymore. Much of the marketing involves using the internet.

MLM Lead System Pro teaches one how to market using the internet, which I like. I am a computer geek. I enjoy working on the computer. I feel comfortable working on the computer. Even if I did not feel comfortable with the computer, MLMLeadSystemPro does their trainings using videos. The videos show you step-by-step how to market your business using the internet. For example, you are taught how to setup a profile in Facebook or MySpace, how to write articles, how to do Google Adwords, and a lot more. This allows one to sit and watch and then copy.

In fact, the other day, I was watching a video on setting up, my Google Adwords campaign. I had to repeatedly watch this video so that I could better understand the process. Eventually, I got my campaign setup and it is currently running. MLMLeadSystemPro will be offering more videos on Google Adwords, which I am looking forward to seeing.

The trainings, the support, all of the tools that you need in order to achieve success in your marketing, is all available in MLM Lead System Pro. To attain success in your business, you need marketing skills and tools to help you.

Thus, if you don’t want to talk to people, you don’t have to. But in saying this, I still advocate following up with the prospects who come through your website. I think this makes good business sense and is a courtesy to your prospects. This lets them know that you care about addressing their needs and interests. After all, they did show an interest in your business, products or services, so it is just common courtesy to follow-up with them and see what they are looking for and to answer any questions they may have.

Here is something else I like about MLM Lead System Pro, people are achieving success in their business in a shorter amount of time. For example, my upline, in his second month in using MLMLeadSystemPro, made $17K his second month. I too am seeing great results. I have over 200 leads and I am making money. In fact, today, I went to my email and saw that I had some commissions come through. So, even if someone does not join your business opportunity, you can still make money using this marketing system because it also offers a sales funnel whereby you can earn cash flow for your business. Most network marketing and MLM’ers alike need, not only more leads, but also more cash to help fund their marketing and MLMLeadSystemPro addresses both of these issues.

In conclusion, if you are struggling with your marketing, MLMLeadSystemPro can help you. To find out more about this fantastic marketing system, go to: www.EZMLMProfits.com Take the test drive, which cost $1.00 and see if this system can bring you the results you are looking for within your business.
