Case Study (How a Real Promo Can Work)

Hi fellow MLM'ers and affiliates!

Trasform Your Business Harnessing the Power of the Internet

This exercise won't cost you a dime.


I'd like to show you how a professional ad works.

Why would you want to know this when you're interested in finding business

builders?

Well, if you're harnessing the power of the Internet to approach people in

large number, you'll have to understand how a proper front-end campaign

works (going from grabbing interest and attention, to holding attention,

telling people where they should look, clicking on links, then moving into

profit). It's important the order is proper -- just like recruiting in the MLM...,

where you focus on holding someone's attention, inviting them to an event or

a presentation or a call, then closing them following that event. Step out of

order and you'll miss.

= = = > CLICK HERE


What To Pay Attention To

Focus on how content forms --

  • see how the ad is constructed, broken into headlines and subheadlines,

using mindspeak of the target audience, noticing how the order of thoughts flow ..., then

Look at the 'why's of ' copy --

  • copywriting (not copyrighting), that's everything you see presented logically.

The Ad Has An Irresistable Offer

1) What does the offer mean to the other person?

2) What's the true cost?

3) Is there a genuine gain?

4) Is there a long-term benefit?

Exception: If you're in testing phases of campaign development, these steps

involve refinement.

= = => CLICK HERE

The Flow Of Thought In A Successful Ad Must Offer:

  • an introduction

  • values and benefits

(won't usually include product features unless those features are technologically disruptive)

  • a strong call-to-action (CTA)

(why they should believe you or go to a recommended resource...or hit a link)

  • a close

People Use the Internet for 2 Primary Reasons --

1) research

2) purchase

What Happens Online

A person enters a keyword search or a string of keywords.

Your job is to make certain they can easily find you.

Attach valuable information in the form of a free report.

Give people your offer when they ask for it.

We test their interest by sending them to a link.

They click or they don't.

Catch People at Points of Purchase, Not Research

The Laws of Abundance and Attraction state --

"For these laws to take affect, you must first put yourself out

there 200% before anyone is going to trust you".

I will provide a solution to this question in the coming posts ahead.

Sorry. I've let you down a bit.

You can't expect me to spill all of the beans today?

What's the Diff Between MLM'ers And Affiliates?

Hi folks!

Barbara here. Today's communications are yielding interesting results.

I have people asking one main question.


What do MLM'ers do VS. what do affiliates do?


Great question. Here's what I see (online).


The lines between the 2 types of marketers are converging, as the Internet molds a new type of marketer never before witnessed!

For MLM traditionalists -- you're doing offline (with some online work)
what we're doing online, until we can later justify development for products suiting the offline environment. We're big into niche research, confirming there's a need before we dive into intensive work, determining profitability. We're zigging and you're zagging..., and hopefully, somewhere in-between the 2 shall meet).

We build what you might call a downline of people in an organizational group..., through affiliate numbers operating within the superaffiliate environment. Either way -- I call these groups 'organizations', by very similar definition.

The reality is --

We all have to take care of each other or businesses fail.

The Internet appears to be increasing 'cohesiveness' among our kids. Maybe it will also increase that force between both types of marketers. I'd like to be positive about this reality...where affiliates help MLM'ers and visa versa.


If you had to use a self-funding proposal to offset long-term MLM business builder needs, affiliate marketing could be a great way to go.

Check out the 30-day challenge, listed on the right-hand side. They address both needs..., where you pick any product you want to move...and they fill in the details!

If you're not into web development yet, their offerings vary a bit (website creation, data management, copywriting..., publishing and more).

The main drawback to affiliate marketing is that you can't change copy or modify content, suiting your needs. You take what's already there and then you promote it. But.., affiliate marketing can show MLM'ers the proper campaign order when they move online. Affiliate marketing shows you what you need, in order to ensure you've got regular, monthly closings.

If you look at the more successful MLM'ers who are operating online, self-funding proposals become a very important goal. They're making sure their people will be around long enough to build the business on the back-end, without having to work 3 jobs.


Makes good business sense.


If you wish to know more about self-funding proposals, especially if
you're looking for systems already working online (excluding monthly lead generation systems producing gross leads), then we're talking about accessing some type of system which will give you more of a complete package (addressing lead generation,
traffic flow, conversions (people who click on your links and buy), then
moving at a future date your own personalized products, some day).


Some of the resources have already been placed in this blog.


Still others require testing before I can confirm they're safe.


I'll continue to offer updates.



For MLM'ers -- I have a strongly recommended, proven source coming your way for solid downline development, in the event you tried other methods. Putting more ducks in a row before I can announce results.

Flock Browser

Hi fellow network marketers and affiliates,

Offering you product reviews from time-to-time, intentions are to offer universal business needs applying to both MLM'ers/affiliate marketers harnessing the power of the Internet.

If you're not sure why becoming an Internet Marketer is a right for you, you should spend some time researching this topic. I'll tell you that we have a new breed of network marketers emerging. Strong communication is the hallmark emphasis, to find out what business owners truly want, seeking to fulfill that need with realism. These people's greatest success into this millenium will be connected to the degree of integrity they bring to their teams and their companies, respectively.

Now if you're in the ballpark area and want to know more about how you can apply Internet Marketing to your business, feel free to check out the resources listed in the right-hand column of this blog. Some links apply more readily to MLM'ers. Some links apply to affiliate marketing.


WORD OF CAUTION:

Whenever you're implementing anything, conduct the proper research to make sure your business risks won't outweight benefits. Case in point. With Flock, I'm still testing the security on this tool. I've been using Internet Explorer for years without difficulty but Flock is an unknown. As with all decisions, you assume
all risks so use caution wherever warranted. Keep your anti-virus scans going, back up information every week, then quarantine your risks (like viruses, worms, Trojans, etc.).


Let's talk about a few tools applying to several marketing folks online:

Twitter --

Is a communication tool which can ease your ability to communicate through Web 2.0 means. It can be used to market a product of your own online (software, e-books or educational DVD's), or it can be used to faciliate team communications at the MLM level. This tool minimizes the need to solely rely on telecommunications, if we're talking about using a blend of automated marketing along with phoning.

Feel free to check out this source directly.

Cut/paste into your Google browser --

http://www.Twitter.com/


Flock --

This browser may be a forthcoming strength in the year ahead to enhance social marketing (helping people who like to use Linked-In, Plaxo, and more). It's a tool which can ease usually challenging transitions from one social site to another quickly, increasing your ability to advertise yourself through any means you can imagine -- imagery, audio, video, landing pages (ad pages) and more. This browser can enhance your blogging if you're able to work through multiple windows at once, tabbing from one site to another in seconds.

There's no charge for incorporating this browser. Flock is powered by Mozilla but to find out specifically what this browser might do for you, cut/paste the link below into your Google browser.

http://www.flock.com/


You'll see Flock is powered by Mozilla and it incorporates the benefits and features of Firefox.

You can download flock to align to Windows, MAC, or Linux.

Drawbacks to using this browser:

It's requires huge memory.

If you're using your PC for basic work, this browser may be overkill and may not be necessary at all. Decisions to incorporate any tool or marketing technique will always depend on the end-goals of your business, consistent with current needs.

Security risks -- I'll leave this up to you to decide.


A Note About Posts On This Blog --

All of the information I bring you tip-wise, technique or product-wise is meant to increase your ability to safely navigate the web, supporting development of your MLM/affiliate business at recruiting levels never before imagined. It is very possible to put your business on steriods but you need the right tools, accurate information and a powerhouse mindset (for powerful recruiting needs). You can't mess around with people when you're building online.

Also keep in mind, much of what you hear in traditional MLM realms may conflict with some of what you'll hear in affiliate realms. This is because the two business environments approach product advertising and distribution differently.

Twitter & Other Resources - What They Can Do For Your Business

Hi fellow MLM'ers,

I have 3 followers today at Twitter. A sprinkle of contacts here...and a sprinkle of contacts there. You may wish to rely on several communication areas to build your business. No one method does it all.

Here's the best part.

Twitter is coming up as a solid communication platform for people who want to share
their news.
but by posting this information, hopes are to provide you with key updates, picking and choosing methods you like best.

I'm tracking Ed Dale's work, using this tool. Ed is a superaffiliate. He's also a speaky-easy British dude who uses Twitter to introduce his new software, available to Internet Marketers very soon. Ed claims he's been using Twitter the past year and he likes its reliability. That's a good thing when technology works.

Ed uses Twitter in unison with his live videos and audios. He also archives his presentations for later use at UTube. Ed uses Twitter for daily marketing posts, to share with his readers the 4 phases of Internet Marketing, the affiliate way.

This news can still appy to MLM'ers because once you figure out what the 4 phases
of online business are, you're in the running! Be patient as you're learning new information. To piece together these puzzle pieces, it's not a quick fix but you're
after sustainable business (you can manage for many years to come).


Moving onto 4 phases of Internet Marketing Expanded :

1) niche identification

This phase of product movement takes time because you have to figure out

if A) there are people out there who not only want the product you're moving

but B) will they buy it...and how often are they willing to buy the product...

and C) is there a real demand. Never operate from your ego because it will

get you into hot water.


I will be adding a recommended solution to assist you with this challenge, in the

coming days ahead and you won't have to join expensive educational classes to get

this information.


2) traffic generation


3) conversions

4) moving people to a product of your own, either branded with your own name

moving affiliate products.


Explanations of each phase:

When you're moving people to your websites and your blogs, using communications you

prefer most.


Affiliates use what's called a landing page (the first page people see on

any affiliate offer), later advancing potential prospects to data capture

(name, e-mail, contact information)..., in exchange for valuable information

like a free report or a white paper.


MLM'ers online favor social networking, also known as "Web 2.0".


Regardless of your preferred method, if you're connecting to people daily,

you're essentially driving traffic so you always want to be certain that you're

motivating them to check out what you have to offer by usually looking at something.


If you do your job well enough, you'll want to periodically stay in touch with

your clients to find out how they're doing (on your product).

You can use blogging communications to simplify this task or you can easily dial
people up!

Many people like http://www.plaxo.com/ or http://www.linked-in.com/.

An autoresponder works more efficiently. This tool for a mere $20/month allows you to communicate to an infinite number of people every week or month, depending upon the frequency marketers send out as messages.

Not sure where to go?

Try A-Weber or Get-Response (enter Google Search).


If you're not sure how to identify your niche market, feel free to check out the MLM and affiliate marketing resources I've placed on the right-hand side of my blog. There, you'll see many things you can pick and choose from.


A source I've personally been using to piece together a lot of marketing information has been listed for you under 'Operation Top Gun'. See # 1 listing.

Take good care of yourself -- you're that important!

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.
