Advertising Yourself Thru Affordable (Okay...Free) Resources

Hi fellow MLM'ers!

Today, I'd like to introduce Twitter if you haven't been using this resource.


Feel free to check out http://www.twitter.com/ to start your free account.


Here's why --

'Free resources are always helpful' when you're launching your business.

In case you haven't yet begun to play with this resource, Twitter emerged

as a real winner for Internet Marketers in 2007. Seems this medium has made

it easier for top guys to 'market their wares'.


If you're new to the marketing (or to the Internet Marketing), let's cover a

few basic prospecting how-to's seasoned veterans have mastered --


1) The 'big guys' know there are networks online that can help you initially

form your marketing webwork. But, they also know these mediums can

ease communications for you and prospective clients -- when you use the medium

properly.


A main problem when using these sites is that you'll get a lot of tire kickers.


So, to offset that challenge, you must be able to direct your content along

specific lines. The goal is to target only those who have a need for

your product or service.


So your message must be consistent at point A (of your marketed message...to point B...to point C). Stray too far from the main subject at hand and you'll lose your niche audience.

EXAMPLE: speak to the mindset of a sub-niche. Notice, as I visit with MLM'ers and affiliates, I'm talking more about how to build, develop and sustain a long-term viable business. I'm not saying much about purchasing pink elephants in this newsletter!

Talk about what your smaller group likes and dislikes, then get into their common challenges. When you can solve their riddles, that's when you'll hear a 'yes'. Miss the boat and you'll hear 'crickets as another way of saying, 'no'. New marketers will often try to force the market into purchasing what they think people want VS. what people are looking for).


2) By forming new connections, you can these sites to further build trust and rapport, easing communications. This effort can include those you might wish to collaborate with, in the near or distant future.


3) It appears this resource is easily on it's way to becoming the 'next killer application'.


4) I will be posting updates in the coming week or so as I play with this tool, sharing findings with you. When this tool is properly used, you can use Twitter to market your wares at superaffiliate levels (mass target marketing -- like the Harv Ekers of the world).


If you wish to know more about how you can use this tool effectively, check out my post on the 30-Day Challenge listed on the right-hand side of this blog (under proven stuff for affiliates and MLM'ers alike). Much of the information I post on this blog is easily applicable to both groups.
