Internet Network Marketing Gurus Get It Wrong Sometimes

A couple of weeks ago, I was being interviewed by someone in our field and they asked what I consider an awesome question, “What Is The Best Way/Method or Technique To Get Started Generating Leads In Internet Network Marketing?”

Now let me tell you a little story about how I got started online (yep, long time ago).

You see, I had a blog (not this one) and focused on every “free” traffic and lead generation strategy I could get my hands on.

Everything from hanging out on 20 different social media sites, sending endless different “friend requests”, click click clicking away on sites such as traffic exchanges, to going to other marketers websites and posting endless comments on their blogs.

Next, I moved onto some what some of the more well known “GooRoos”  teach in terms of how to generate network marketing leads.

There is alot of talk, especially among “GooRoo’s” in the industry about how you should be paying for traffic for leads with things like Adwords, or Yahoo, or even going the route of putting newsletter ads on ezines together.

Even more popular are Social Media techniques on places like Facebook or MySpace or Twitter.

However, for the life of me, I couldn’t get an “real” targeted traffic without completely blowing my wallet out of the water.

Perhaps you have been through the same thing?

So, in the interview, the person asked an awesome question “What is the best way for a brand new person to get started in internet network marketing?”

Here is what I laid out for her, basically three strategies:

1) Content creation and distribution.  Namely here article or text marketing and video marketing.  Things like article marketing at sites like EzineArticles.com, or use sites like YouTube.com and TubeMogul.com to distribute keyword focused videos out there to as wide an audience as possible.

You can get a great laydown on exactly how to execute these in my book “Simple MLM Leads“

2) Search Engine Optimization.  While not exactly a beginner strategy, it is far more simple than people make it out to be.

It boils down to two things:  creating keyword focused content, and going out and get links.  I’ve got a course in the works detailing some specific and easy to follow strategies that I use every day to do this.

3) Finally Social Media marketing.  With the former popularity of sites like MySpace, and current “hot commodities” of Facebook and Twitter, this is truly one of the most talked about ways to grow ones business on the internet.

Much like I said in my email yesterday, I’ll fully admit I am not an expert at Social Media Marketing, and have found that the vast majority of people who claim to be have very little concrete results to show for their efforts.

That is not the case with one individual in the industry Katie Freiling.  Having generated a six-figure income, and becoming one of the top recruiters in her own network marketing opportunity, all with free social media marketing.

In fact, the folks at Magnetic Sponsoring are hosting a free webinar tomorrow, Wednesday 25 August featuring her and her specific action steps she takes using Social Media marketing.

I know I’m gonna be on there and recommend if you are interested in growing your business at all using cutting edge Social Media strategies, you should.

Spouse Doubting Internet Network Marketing

Just the other day I was talking to a guy on skype who was complaining about how he was having trouble getting his spouse to support him in working his new business opportunity, particularly so as he was trying to build it using internet network marketing.

Completely reminded me of the time when I was just getting started building my own business, and trying to do so online.

Now, especially in the beginning, lets be honest here, progress can be hard, slow, and frustrating.

Even my own lovely wife would often ask me, “What ARE you doing with all the time you are spending on that “network marketing business” of yours?”

It was hard for her to support me, even a little as I hadn’t shown her any tangible progress, even when I started making a little money in the beginning.

But how you can change that?

Well, I’ll admit I was a little sneaky.

Since I had a couple different sources of income, to include my primary opportunity, I usually was getting paid electronically straight to my bank, or via things like PayPal.

I changed ALL of the payments to a hard check I would receive in the mail.

Yep, snail mail.

WOW, what a difference this made for her!

There is no more powerful re-enforcement of what you are doing than seeing a check in the mail and then in your hand.

Even, though my income hadn’t changed at all, once she got her eyes on 2 or 3 or 4 checks coming in each and every month, she was sold!

She could SEE that I was making progress with my business.

Rather than me just telling her, “Hey I made $100 today”, she was able to see the checks coming in the mail and actually hold them in her hand.

Of course I made a point that she started opening up the mail more-so than me

That is one of the beauties of building your business with internet network marketing as this makes it easy to come up with multiple streams of income.

Building just a ML’M business takes time but by incorporating multiple streams of income into your business, you can start to get more checks quicker than ever before….all while still building your business.

Here is to many checks coming to you!

To your future success,

Kurt Henninger

P.S. If you like to learn exactly how to instantly create multiple streams of income in your business, one of my bonus chapters for Simple MLM leads talks exactly about that. Head on over yonder to check it out at:

Just the other day, Alex Rodriguez belted his 600th career home run,
making him only the 7th major league player to do so in 110+
odd years of the league.

Now, truth be told, I am no fan of the New York Yankees, having
grown up near Boston, and even less so of an admitted steroid
user…..one has to admit that this is a herculean feat in itself.

One of Alex’s keys to his success has always been visualization of
his goals, particularly that of hitting home runs.

In fact, a short while ago, he wrote the forward of a book for a
noted sports psychologist, Gary Mack, where he discusses this very fact.

How he visualizes home runs from each and every angle and not just
from the batters box. From the outfield, from the stands, from 2nd
base, everywhere.

Why I bring this up is that this is also one of the hidden roadblocks to
success in any kind of business, particularly in Netw’ork Marketing.

Often this is our own first entry into owning and running a business on
our own and there is a lot of mental garbage we need to sort through
to be successful.

Things like:

“Does net’work marketing really work?”

“Why would someone buy anything from me?”

“I don’t know how to sell anything”

What makes mattes worse is that you have nay sayers from your
family and friends.

Now, I’m not here to convince you that this industry works, or that
you can run a successful business.

What I do want to tell you is that I personally got through alot of the
mental garbage about running a business by learning how to combine
internet marketing and net’work marketing and learning a few basic
marketing principles like target marketing, list building, lead generation,
etc.

It’s really not that hard, just learn a few basic skills and you can start
growing your business today, step by step.

One of the things you can learn in my Simple ML’M Leads Course
is the thought process and some easy proven methods for you to start
generating leads for your own business right now, today, without
all the hype and fluff you hear from many marketers.

What Is New In Network Marketing?

It’s amazing in the online marketing world that it seems to me that what is old appears to be new again.

What I’m referring to is the resurgence in interest in things like Search Engine Optimization, and other forms of content marketing such as article marketing.

Now, just to clarify, Search Engine Optimization, or SEO is the art and science of ranking your websites and pages in search engines for particular keyword phrases.

Particularly with the numerous “Slaps” that have gone on throughout the online marketing world in the online world, everyone is searching for the “next G…”.

In fact, a fairly well known online marketer what I had always believed to be a “paid marketing” guy, Ryan Deiss, just is releasing this week in fact a product on search engine optimization.

There have been courses on, just to name a few in the last year:

- Yahoo marketing (Screw G.)
- Facebook PPC
- Gmail marketing (we wouldn’t dare call it marketing on the content network)
- Pay Per View Marketing

However, an old standby that I mentioned earlier Search Engine Optimization has really come back to the forefront as an alternative way to “get in front” of your targeted customers from search engines.

In my own SEO journey, particularly in the network marketing industry, I’ve discovered a couple things to be true:

- SEO isn’t hard or complicated

- People, even in our own industry, will tell you certain keywords are “too hard”.  I even read an excerpt that said this very thing in a very well known online industry publication.

- Alot of the information out there is fear based (i.e. you will end up in the “sandbox”, “they” will penalize you for this, you “can’t” build links too fast)

- You can end up really going down a rabbit hole paying attention to TOO many details.

- SEO does take some time, but not as much as you think it might.

In any case, where to start with SEO?

Well, my advice is to start with getting in front of your most targeted prospects for your own company…..those that are actively searching for information regarding your own opportunituy in search engines.

I always like to think of search engines as what the yellow pages and the encyclopedia used to be…to find information and do research on problems or questions.

With that said, one of the best ways to do this is to “be found” on page one, or better yet, close to the top of search engines for keyword phrases relating to your company name.

What is the best way to start with this?

Before you start creating content, before you start on-page optimization…before you start building links….

A “good” domain name…..one that contains your company name in the root URL, the closer to the beginning of the site name, the better.

For example:

If you were in Amway (as an example, everyone knows Amway)

Get a domain name like this:

- AmwayReviews.com
- AmwayWorks.com
- AmwayTopTeam.com

Now, some companies might complicate things, by not allowing you to use their name on your website….check with your company before you begin this.

Now, these days some of the better keyword names might be taken, so you can use this handy reference to use for “stop words” http://www.seowhitehats.com/2009/03/10/search-engine-stopwords.html

Why should you start with a good domain name?

Well, I’m an ex-Army grunt so I can best put it in terms of military terminology, it sets the conditions for success best for your website.

Think of search engines as a computer program (which it is).

One of the first things the search engine bots who research your site will read is your URL name.

Why not give your site the best chance possible, and from the beginning, and get yourself in front of the MOST targeted prospects for your opportunity with internet network marketing.

Network Marketing Propsects Do They Act Like This?

It has been absolutely crazy over here the last week or so. I’ve had all kinds of problems with my website hosting account.

Just a word of advice, when you do go with a website hosting, make sure to go with a well established name with 24/7 support and don’t go the cheap route like I did with my 1st website. That makes things painful when everything goes awry.

Anyway, I was just on the phone Saturday with one of my business builders and she had and awesome question that I think alot of people struggle with when they get started in internet network marketing, what exactly do you write about on your blog or in a newsletter?

Now, she is very product focused, and not so much into recruiting business builders, but the same principles apply there as they do anywhere.

She is very new to internet network marketing, but not new network marketing in general and she had a really hard time grasping what to write about on her blog or newsletter that her current clients and prospects would be interested in .

Her initial reaction was to write about how wonderful her product lines are how they would be great for people to use (bleh), which is a fairly typical way for those in network marketing to look at things…..its all about them.

What I suggested was this…

Write about a particular pain or frustration that your customers and prospects are having, giving them information about it, and then in the end tying in how a product or service in your company can help them alleviate that.

You really need to target who your customers are as well.

So, for example, let’s say that you are in a nutritional business and many of your prospects and customers are mom’s who are concerned about the health of their kids.

The way you need to approach that is write something about “common childhood illnesses” and how they are related to poor nutrition and then offer up your product as a solution to their kids getting better nutrition.

It’s really as simple as that.

We all want to read more about our pains and frustrations and how we can get rid of them, so you need to write from that angle, not from the perspective of just another MLM’er looking to make a sale.

Guaranteed if you do it right, you will have people beating down your door for more information about your product or opportunity.

Are There Really Any Secrets To Network Marketing?

Far too often, the new distributor starts off very enthusiastically, works for a month or two and struggles and finally begins a quest for whatever secrets network marketing that there are out there.

Often they see the parade of successful distributors, especially at a convention where companies tend to highlight those high achievers especially.

Well to be honest, there are no real secrets to network marketing, but success in it does come down to a critical few skills that you need to master.

First, you need to be able find people whos needs you can suit best and become a problem solver and solutions provider for them first.  For example if you have an anti-aging product, your best customers are those that are already searching for a way to reverse aging, and not those people you “just happen to talk about it with”

Next, you are going to need a way to generate leads from that targeted group of individuals.  This is where internet network marketing comes into play.  By using some simple stuff like a blog and creating some basic content that would be of interest to your target market, you can absolutely go out and start to generate leads from those most interested in what you have to offer.

Finally, need a way to convert those leads to either sales of downlines in your organization.  The real secret here is your ability to be able to write a compelling letter that will entice your target market to take some kind of action, whether that is to buy your product or to join your opportunity.

So, really the only secret here is that you need to develop some skills, a process and a system to flesh out those details of how to follow those processes to build your business.

Is This Internet Network Marketing Tool Worth It?

“Is that program really worth it?” Is a hugely important question that needs to be asked, particularly if you are thinking of venturing into internet network marketing.

It is really a core fundamental business principle which can and should be applied to your network marketing business.

OK, so first, let me share why we are talking about this particular concept today.

There are so many new “launches” of information products, marketing systems, and “silver bullet” programs out there in the last couple of months in the internet network marketing world, that even I have been a little hazed and bewildered by it.

Plus, there is a TON of hype and buzz around lots of products that its very hard to tell if something is for you or not.   Now these products are supposed to help you, but in all honesty, its hard to tell what is helping and what isn’t helping.

Just the other day, I was hanging out in an online forum, and was reading about a particular “lead generation” system where people were talking about it, raving about it in fact.

However, one very astute business person on there asked a very simple question, an important question, “Sounds great, but did you get any tangible results from it, like more leads and in particular more sales?”

It was really interesting seeing the responses from those raving about it, with comments like “I got a bunch more traffic to my website”, and “Well this one guy did really well with it”.

However, not one of them was able to articulate any kind of real, meaty results: no more sales, no one interested in their business or what they have to offer.

(This is kind of like saying that you were able to hand out a bunch of company DVDs at the mall, but still didn’t get anyone interested in your business in the old days.)

So these folks were pretty much throwing $70 or $80 bucks a month down the tubes and had no idea of what they were doing was producing any real results for their network marketing business.

Here is the point to all this, in everything you are doing, you need to test, and track what you are doing, and see if you are getting some real results.

What matters most with any kind of tool that you can use in your business, is if it delivers results in the form of leads, sales, and a growing downline, period…

So if you are investing some of your hard earned money in the latest, “Genius Marketing System” make sure you are getting your money’s worth and track and test your results.

If you are ready for some real world, tangible, results oriented training to help you generate more leads and more profits in your business….

Internet And Network Marketing A Good Combo?

In recent years, there has  been a trend towards combining the internet and network marketing together.  You will find ardent supporters on both sides, some claiming it is absolutely revolutionizing the home business industry, while others stake their claim that one could never build your business in such a manner, and instead should stick with tried and true methods that have worked for decades in the industry.

For many used to more traditional approaches of building an MLM business, looking at internet network marketing might seem like viewing some strange sort of beast.  Ones warm market has always worked, because you can leverage the relationships you have built over years in order to sway or influence them to buy your product or join you in a business opportunity.

While I certainly do believe that more traditional methods of business building still work, it has become apparent to many that have been in the industry for decades that “what used to work” doesn’t work quite as well any more, and it has become almost a necessity to combine the internet and network marketing.

Why you might ask?  It has to do with our culture today, at least here in the United States.  Years ago, it WAS news to hear about a “way to earn extra money, or quit your job” and there was virtually zero competition for peoples attention.  Now, with the ever increasing influx of advertising, media around 24/7, and tons of other competing priorities, it is now more important than ever to be at the forefront of peoples minds.

The idea of going where people are and getting in front of them is nothing new.  Today, millions upon millions of people do searches on places like Google, hang out on Facebook, or watch videos on YouTube instead of going over to their neighbors and hanging out.

Also, when you combine the internet and network marketing, you can really start to target who actually wants and needs and is actively looking for your services, whether your product or opportunity.  Instead of trying to go from person to person to person and trying to convince them to look at what you have, instead the tables can be turned and you are instead offering something valuable and sought after by people.  This is more commonly referred to in the business world as target marketing.
