Is It Possible To Automate Your Prospecting
Posted on 24. Mar, 2009 by admin.
Any seasoned network marketer will be able to tell you that the most important task in order to succeed in your network marketing business is prospecting. A lot of prospecting is required in order to build your network marketing business successfully. This means a lot of time and effort needs to be put into approaching potential prospects who may or may not be interested in your home based business opportunity. You will need to know your prospects to build the trust and pitch your offer. Depending on what the prospect is looking for, you will need to pitch your offer according to their needs. This can be in terms of product or business opportunity.
The setback about this method of prospecting is that it is time consuming. There are only so many hours you can spend on prospecting. Remember that with only 24 hours in a day, you will need to divide your time between prospecting, meeting and servicing your customers, and training your new downlines. Time is spent not only on commuting from one place to another, you are also limited to your geographical location. Plus you become indispensable as you have to do everything yourself. The moment you take a vacation, especially when your organisation is still small, your organisation will start to suffer because you are not around to take care of all the details.
To avoid this problem you can use an automated prospecting system. This will allow you to generate leads automatically. Once you set up your automated prospecting system, you can generate additional leads automatically without requiring you to be hands on. This can be done through the use of the internet via online marketing. There are certain basic tools for you to get started. Once that is set up, the system will run like clockwork.
You will need to generate traffic to your site which should list your business opportunity for your target market. Once visitors arrive at your site, you will need to capture their information. This is where you will need to follow up with your prospects via a good autoresponder.
Once you set up your autoresponder, you will be able to keep in touch with your prospects through various campaigns. The autoresponder acts like an automated email where you can drip information to your prospects, send out newsletters and broadcast messages. Here it is important for you to build rapport and create trust with your prospects. Once you do this well, your prospects will be more receptive to any business opportunity that you might have to share.
You can use banner advertisements to drive traffic to your site. Youtube is another tool you can use. Podcast is yet another tool that is still quite new in the market. Pay per click advertisements are quite effective in generating quick traffic to your site. You can control your budget as well as the amount of traffic.
Most important is to have an effective lead capturing page. You do not want to waste all the time and effort in driving traffic to your site just to lose them because it is not effective enough. When that is set up well, you will have an automated prospecting system that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Why Search Engine Optimization Is Crucial For Your Network Marketing Business
Posted on 28. Feb, 2009 by admin.
By Veronica Tan BK
What is Search Engine Optimization, also commonly termed as SEO? Why do you need it for your network marketing business opportunity?
Basically SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a website from search engines via ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ search results. Usually the sites that are ranked higher in the search engines will have more traffic directed to their sites, thereby increasing the website traffic. Most internet marketers use SEO to optimize their websites as SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for.
When using SEO, the website traffic generated is free. You do not have to pay for the traffic that you get unlike when targeting paid traffic in the form of Pay-Per-Click (PPC) or Google AdWords.
Normally when you do a search on any of the search engines like Yahoo or Google, you would normally click the results that are on the left rather than those on the right. The ones that are on the right are basically sponsored, which means they pay to be shown on the first few pages, unlike the ones on the left which are there due to the natural algorithms. This shows that SEO traffic is of higher quality as compared to PPC.
The latest trend now is using SEO for the network marketing industry. It is considered as one of the most lucrative ways to make money in network marketing. Why is this so?
SEO is basically unheard of previously in the network marketing industry. It is a new trend and very few network marketers know about SEO. At the same time, those who are currently involved in SEO are not network marketers. As such, the market is huge and generally untouched.
SEO in the next few years down the road will be the trend for network marketers. Currently there is little competition because many network marketers have not yet started to build their business online. And since those who are currently strong in SEO are not involved in network marketing, the opportunities are endless.
So if you follow some simple guidelines, you should be able to get your network marketing websites ranked easily on the Internet.
You can start by creating a Squidoo Lens or a Hub Page. This will help to drive traffic to your website and boost your rankings as they are considered high authority sites. What you need to do is to write a good content with high keyword density.
Target long tail keywords. Long tail keywords are usually 3 and 4-keyword phrases which are very specific to whatever you are selling. Whenever a customer uses a highly specific search phrase, they already know what they are look for. In virtually every case, such very specific searches are far more likely to convert to sales than general generic searches that tend to be geared more toward the type of research that consumers typically do prior to making a buying decision.
At the same time, write various articles about your network marketing company and the products or services. Focus on optimizing your company’s brand name. Submit these articles to various top ranking article directories like Ezine Articles or Idea Marketers. A good article needs to be easy to understand and powerful. Keep your articles short and sweet, preferably between 300 to 500 words.
In the long run, you will be able to drive free traffic to your website. Remember to optimize your articles with keywords that have high searches. The key is to drive traffic no matter which search engine ranking position you are in – it is no point getting rank no.1 if no one is searching for that keyword at all.

Developing The Right Mindset As An Upline
Posted on 27. Feb, 2009 by admin.
By Veronica Tan BK
When you join a network marketing organization, the person who introduced you to the home business opportunity and whom you signed under is your upline.
You will find various kinds of uplines in the world. From those who just sit back and relax to those who keep on bugging you each and every minute to those who really take good care of you and train and motivate you to reach your goals.
Every distributor earns a commission based on the sales efforts of their organization, which includes their independent sale efforts as well as the leveraged sales efforts of their downline. Thus it is in the interest of the upline to ensure that their downlines succeed when they join their organization.
What then is considered as a good upline? How should the upline treat their downlines?
What is the role of an upline in network marketing?
The role of the upline is important. If the upline is there just to make money out of his downlines, he or she will have immediately killed himself in the business of network marketing. Nobody likes to have an upline who is so materialistic that they think about money or business volume all the time. Neither will they like to have a pushy upline who resembles the boss they are trying to fire.
The upline needs to be a leader of his organization. He should be sincere and treat everyone with respect. The upline’s role in helping the new downline get started in the business can be crucial. If the downline is joining a network marketing business opportunity for the very first time, the upline can help to shorten the learning curve and show them the way to success.
A downline would look for confidence and encouragement from the upline. The upline is the one who is there to inspire their downlines with motivating words. At the same time, the upline is also there to shield their downlines from any negativity where possible.
A great upline offers their downlines good support and assistance at all times by not only training and coaching but also counseling and strategizing.
Some basics such as mindset and skills are covered. The upline will also review the performance of the downline and, rather than finding fault, may work together with the downline to work out concrete strategies and plans to build their networks. The upline is also there to lend a listening ear to any problems and may offer another perspective in finding solutions.
Overall, a good upline needs to have the mindset of a leader, mentor, helper, servant and friend all rolled into one. “Give before you get” should be their motto. There is a saying that you will only achieve success once you have helped others to achieve their success. Then and only then will you and those in your organization be able to laugh all the way to the bank!
Even if your upline does not have the above virtues, if you wish to be successful, you need to adopt the right mindset in your network marketing business.

Perks Residual Income Opportunities Do Provide
Posted on 10. Feb, 2009 by admin.
Author Name: Mark Watson
When you consider residual income opportunities to those of a regular job or traditional business opportunity, it’s easy to see why some people prefer residual income online opportunities. Unlike a 9 to 5 job where you need to be there in order to make money, such is not the case with residual income opportunities. Certainly you will take the time to build the network or investment but once the steps are finished, you will make money even when you are sitting on the beach in Hawaii or Tahiti. Of course it’s hard work to reach that point but once you are there, the road is paved solidly from that point forward.
Everyone has had at least one occasion where they have worried how they would make ends meet if they were to become gravely ill or were forced to take an unpaid leave to take care of a sick child or family member. The Federal Medical Leave Act may protect our jobs, but it doesn’t protect our income—there is no provision in the law for paid leave, only that an employer must provide the time for an employee to take care of his or his family’s medical needs. With residual online opportunities, your income will continue coming in once you have reached the point that you are earning residuals. Whether you are taking care of ill family members or lying in bed with the flu, your income will still be there.
Some residual income programs offer transference of your residuals in the event of your death. What this means is that once you have met the requirements for residual money, it will transfer to your family when you die. Instead of your husband or wife having to worry how they are going to make the bill payments, the network you have built will take care of them for the remainder of their lives. Not all programs offer this advantage, so before you choose any of the residual income opportunities, make sure you know whether there are provisions for your family in the event of your death.
Residual income opportunities are fantastic ways to make sure your income keeps up with inflation. Because the residuals are based upon income flowing through the network, the prices of the products that create the residuals will increase with inflation, thus your residuals will also increase. There is no fighting with your boss over the raise you should have gotten as you listen to his excuses why you didn’t get a raise or didn’t get a raise big enough to keep up with inflation.
You won’t have to worry about things like merit increases, promotions, or other trivial matters once you are in the rank you need to be to collect a residual income. Whether you are awake or asleep your enterprise will be making income for you especially if your network includes organizations in other parts of the world. You won’t have to worry about being written up for calling in sick or being late because you are caught in bad traffic or the car won’t start. These minor problems will be non existent with residual income opportunities.

Recycling Your Blog Traffic For Network Marketing
Posted on 10. Feb, 2009 by admin.
Author Name: Veronica Tan BK
With more and more people getting on the Internet, it is important for you as a network marketer to make use of this latest trend to help you build your network marketing home business. In order to do this, creating and maintaining a good network marketing blog will go a long way to help you jump start your home business. This will also allow you to brand yourself as a respected and recognized network marketer which will then give you an edge over other network marketers.
Since more and more social lives are centered round the Internet, it is essential to get your blog started immediately. However, just creating a blog is insufficient if you are not able to drive traffic to your blog and make full use of the website traffic that is being generated.
The general idea is to set up your blog and then drive traffic to your blog. This can be done in various ways including, but not limited to, search engine optimization, article submissions, pay per click campaigns, forums and blog directories. However, what you want to do in order to create an effective monetization for your blog is to recycle your website traffic. This is where repeat sales come in and helps to allow your business to bloom and thrive.
What then is recycling traffic and why is it so important for your network marketing business?
Recycling traffic simply means that you are redirecting or sending your existing website traffic back to your blog again and again through newsletters, email marketing or RSS feed subscriptions.
Listed below are a few ways to recycle traffic by getting people coming back to your blog again and again for more valuable, interesting and compelling information.
- As any seasoned network marketer is aware, there is a saying that ‘The money is in the list.’ As such it is imperative for you to continuously build your mailing list. In order to do this, you will need an ‘opt-in’ box where you can offer good valuable information in the form of a free report or newsletter to those on your mailing list. This will enable you to also keep in touch with your mailing list and keep them updated as and when you add a new post to your blog. By doing this, it can help to build the rapport between you and those on your list whilst keeping your blog fresh on their mind.
- Another way to keep the readers coming back to your blog is to break up your blog post into a series of shorter blogs. This can be done by breaking down your tips and information into three or more parts. This is a great way to keep them in suspense and yearn for more of such great information that they will want to keep on coming back to read your next ‘to be continued’ blog post.
- One other way of getting readers to keep coming back to your blog is to get them to subscribe to your RSS feed. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. When the reader subscribes to the RSS feed, this will allow the ‘RSS reader’ to check on the subscribed feeds regularly for new work and download any updates that it finds. It will then send the contents of your new posts automatically to the subscriber. Thus it is recommended that you post to your blog frequently and consistently. If your readers find that your content is very useful and provides great value, they may even link to your feed and publish your content on their blogs as well.
The above are a few methods which have been widely used. However, do remember that people are always looking for compelling and interesting information. Thus, in whatever you do, take note that ‘content is king’. A great content will entice your readers in repeat visits to your blog to know more and see what other valuable information they can get from your site.
