Yesterday’s post discussing the possibility of MLM Women being better Network Marketers than MLM Men raised quite a few diverse opinions.

Of course the ladies were extremely impressed, and rightfully so with 6 Powerful Impact movies to back the statement.

But Bob Firestone left a comment that to me quite possibly sums up the distinctions and levels the playing field. I was in the process of replying to his comment but ended up deleting it after my ‘aha’ moment (more on that in a minute) to open up this discussion further.

The conclusion was that the different strengths that MLM men and women have compliment each other in different areas of conducting the business.

Now correct me if I’m wrong, women communicate amongst each other lots more than men and are natural word of mouth sales people. This puts MLM women miles in the lead for simply getting the business done, period.

But Bob also pointed out that it appears that most of the network marketing top earners are men, who are more focused on the actual business, drive and leadership.

Now of course there are exceptions to the rule but in my opinion, the left hand can't work without the right.

So let’s talk about the exception to the rule. And maybe it’s no exception, but simply a difference in personality types.

Let me clarify the ‘aha’ moment…

The ‘aha’ moment was me remembering a 5 part article series that we did on 4 personality types more than a year ago and how that applies the different characteristics that we mention above.

Bob mentioned the more social aspect of women which can be related back to the Inspiring type (extrovert, outgoing). The business focus, leadership qualities in men can be referred to as the Dominant type (power and control).

So shouldn't we compare different personality types rather than compare the opposite sex? If so, would that mean that the Inspiring personality type that comes across more frequently amongst women is the personality type of choice for Network Marketers? Checkout these posts and you decide.

Surely some of the titles, analogies and factual posts will bring a smile to your face.

This 5 part serious discussing the 4 personality types was probably the most fun I’ve had working on a post series and you’ll see why in a minute.

Now I must pre-warn you:

This is our first blog that was fully functional at one time and is still positioned in the /blog directory. (yes, thatMLMbeat has been around for a while!)

When changing over to a blog and social network, we had to start from scratch in the main (root) directory, which is why this MLM blog has been abandoned.

It’s still packed with great posts, but I have removed all the sidebars and the next step is to place links below each post to direct the traffic back to our new hub.

Nevertheless, here is the raw and rusty 5 part series. This will give you an overview:

4 Personality Types - Network Marketing Strategy with an Unfair Advantage

Then this will dig deeper and indulge into each personality type:

Inspiring Type - Are You the ‘Jay Leno’ of Your MLM Business?

Dominant Type - Are You the ‘Dr. House’ of Your MLM Business?

Supportive Type - Are You the ‘Mr. Rogers’ of Your MLM Business?

Cautious Type - Are You the ‘Martha Stewart’ of Your MLM Business?

What are your thoughts on this? Are we working with personality differences and strengths, or do you still believe that MLM women are simply better than MLM men?

Are MLM Women better than MLM Men? While browsing through various Internet and Network Marketing  videos on Youtube, I found this movie and thought it could turn into a fun little debate.

That was before I read how personally so many MLM men took this video in the comments section! Nevertheless, it was enough to change the title of this post which started out as "MLM Women Who Rock On Youtube" to this.

So before continuing with the latter and just to confirm, I still bat for the same team! What are your thoughts on this? Do MLM Women have a distinct advantage over MLM Men? Or is fair game for all?

Here is the video that caused the controversy:

If you have followed Front Page on Google Part 1 and Part 2, you would have witnessed a case study on 2 long tail keywords that I’ve been optimizing for the front page on Google for the past week.

In part 1 I started off with 'Social Tribes' on no 17 and for 'Free Blog Syndication' no 7 early yesterday.

Here are the screen shots for the results:

Free Blog Syndication

Social Tribes

Social Tribe

You will see at the time these screen shots, I was positioned at no 4 for Free Blog Syndication, no 6 for social tribes and no 5 for social tribe.

To say that I was impressed with my results is an understatement, but here’s the best bit: I actually messed up the entire strategy and still got great results!

I’m not sure if this will have an effect on my rankings over time, but I made a crucial mistake with my bookmarking process (more on that) and only completed half the tasks.

So, as promised and teased in Front Page On Google part 1 and 2 and without holding back on a single thing, here’s the exact strategy that you can duplicate on your next blog post or article:

1.    Thorough keyword research
This step is crucial so please don’t kid yourself. Most Bloggers simply guess and start writing. But if you are going to be spending 30 minutes, an hour or even longer on a blog post, why not take 5 – 10 minutes to really dig into long tail keywords, 3 to 5 word phrases and make that you rank high on search engines?

Data driven decisions outrank wild guessing by many miles.

Use the Google Keyword Tool for thorough keyword research. Make sure that you change the settings to all countries, keep synonyms selected and search.

Have a good look at the advertisers competition and amount of searches. You can go for something like ‘network marketing’, but you are not going to get anywhere with that in one single post. In fact, you will probably need to build an entire authority site around that keyword and build it over a long period of time.

Instead, think of problems that your prospects might be having and offer a solution. Think 3 – 4 word phrases that don’t have much competition. These long tail keywords are generally searched within the hundreds and under a thousand times.

If your search term seems too competitive or if you just want to double check, head over to Google and type ‘allintitle:keyword’ in the search bar.

What that does is deliver the search results of pages / posts that have your keyword phrase within the TITLE. Generally speaking, if the number of competing websites (top right) are under a thousand and you are doing everything else right, you shouldn’t have a problem getting on the Front Page on Google instantly. Of course, there are exceptions to these rules.

2.    Keyword placement
Other than a few crucial placements in my opinion, you don't need to be too concerned about this. Gone of the days of repeating your keywords like a parrot.

It's best to have your keywords in mind and write naturally.

If you can however get the keyword or key phrase positioned within the first sentence or first paragraph, do that.

Throughout the post also bold your key phrase. Everything in moderation of course. This post is a great example of this.

Placing your key phrase as a heading like I've done before the images also score points with the search engine spiders. If it’s suitable, also use your key phrase as anchor text.

IMPORTANT: It’s all good and great to have content that’s perfect for search engine spiders, but writing content for the human eye is much more important. Getting ranked on the front page on Google is great, but if no one wants to read your post, then what’s the point?

3.    Write a new article and post it on Blogger.com
Create a new article from scratch (recommended) focusing on your long tail keywords. This is where I made a huge mistake. I’ll explain shortly.

Make sure that you use anchor text, like I’m using here for social tribes, that links back to your post that you want to rank for.

(don’t forget your key phrase in the TITLE of your blogger post of course!)

4.    Digg and Reddit it!
Create a campaign on Digg and Reddit that leads to your new post that you did on Blogger.

And here is my BIG mistake: I rewrote the original post I did for Blogger. By the time I got to blogger, my original post had already been Dugg by one of our readers and Digg does not accept duplicates. So again, be sure to keep your post on blogger original.

5.   Bookmark Your Digg and Reddit Campaign

Here’s the fun part! Bookmark your campaigns on Digg and Reddit Submissions and bookmark then across 3 different bookmarking networks.

Now it is really important that you get someone else to do the bookmarking for you. This is where  Syndd comes into play. Synnd, together with parts of the Superspindle Strategy as mentioned above, is a great way to outsource all your social and internet marketing in minutes.

Without this you will need lots of time on your hands and 2 to 3 dozen friends to help you out religiously for every single blog post or piece of marketing that you choose to do.

Final step that I didn’t complete:
Bookmark your submissions page on Digg and Reddit on 3 other bookmarking networks that you didn’t use in Step 5. Your submissions page is the page that shows all the content that you have submitted to Digg and Reddit.

For more information on putting this strategy in motion successfully, you can try Synnd for a dollar

Is it time to change course? Internet network marketing recruiting has become the norm for most new school network marketers.

Not sure on exact figure, but its safe to say (or is it?) that the majority of new network marketing recruits despise the fact of making a list of their friends and family and doing any type of marketing offline. This especially for us online addicts that live for online marketing strategies and avoid all one on one contact with our prospects.

Question is, are we leaving money on the table?

Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring fame dropped the bomb this week by announcing the complete unexpected. Mikes announcement stopped hundreds of internet network marketers dead in their tracks.

Mike Dillard, the master of attraction and internet network marketing, focuses on offline prospecting strategies for his network marketing business. This is a major paradigm shift for many.

In fact, a paradigm shift that will be responsible for a mind opening conscious awareness of untapped niche markets and somewhat forgotten marketing methods for some.

Mike explains that with the current state of the economy, there are more and more people streaming to the network marketing industry. Not just for extra vacation money anymore, but rather as a necessity to provide for their families and for pure survival.

There is the massive ‘baby boomer’ generation that is flocking to our industry and will be for the next coming years.

These are people with great communication and leadership skills that are not interested in creating a MLM Blog or learning how to market online.

They like their business to be done face to face, over the phone and preferably with handshakes.

It seems like common sense to have systems in place that cater for them instead of trying to enforce education of internet network marketing recruiting when they simply want to get out there and do business with the skills they already posses.

Mike confesses that this might not be his primary strength, but it is that of his long-time mentors, the one and only Todd Falcone.

Todd and Mike hosted a conference call on Thursday evening where Todd shared his secrets of ‘sponsoring up’ and restoring confidence and posture within yourself to grab the big fish from the big pond.

To clarify, that would be the choice of chasing after burger flippers vs going after real-estate agents in your local area. Not to discredit burger flippers of course, but it’s a job where income is dependent on hours worked and has no skills in common with the network marketing industry.

Real-estate agents on the other hand do what we do, they are just doing it somewhere else at this point in time.

Todd lives by this approach by not just teaching, but applying it in practice. Todd’s prospect list consists of real-estate agents as mentioned, retail business owners, mortgage brokers, sales professionals and baby boomers who have retirement funds to invest.

Within all that said, is internet network marketing recruiting dead? Of course not, but as professional all round marketers, should we ignore a huge growing market of potential MLM rockstars who are hungry for success?

So should we rephrase the question in the beginning to:

How much money are we leaving on the table?

In yesterdays case study of Front Page On Google in less than 18 hours, we were ranking no 7 for long tail keywords free blog syndication and no 17 (page 2) for social tribes.

Although I was planning to focus on really drilling these keywords for a good week with various content syndication strategies and tools before documenting another update, I simply couldn't resist!

I'm also learning lots in the process. Today I started out by doing a short utility post on Better Networker titled Free Blog Syndication With Social Tribes (Thanks To 3 Facebook Pages).

The shorter utility post only talks about the original post on thatMLMbeat and links back with anchor text with our 2 targeted keywords.

I then wrote a whole new article touching on different aspects of the topic and posted that on Blogger. I did another mix with the title which concluded as Social Tribes Being Used for Free Blog Syndication (Thanks to Facebook).

Monitoring the search engine placements, three different Google searches have delivered 3 different results. Is this a result of Google's recent alignment with Twitter to include real-time search results?

The ranking for free blog syndication has climbed one up to no 6, back to 7 and after checking for one last time, back to 6 but also adding the utility post on Better Networker in on 9th position.

Social Tribes have reached the goal of the first page which has been alternating between the 9th and 10th position. What's interesting is that we are also ranking no 9 for the single plural social tribe, which adds 50% more searches to the mix. Nice!

Let's see how much higher we can rank for these long tail keywords and then I'll reveal the entire process. Can you see how the keywords are positioned within the last 3 posts and what's causing them to rank high?

Is there anything that you've noticed that can be improved upon? Would love your feedback in the comments below.

Front page on Google in less than 18 hours? Yesterday I completed a post about Social Tribes and free blog syndication.

The purpose of this post was to get the word out on 3 Facebook Pages independently managed by Kary Rogney, Ken Pickard and Michael Feil that focus on free blog syndication.

What this post also accomplished was to get placed on the second page on Google for one keyword and on the front page on Google for the other. This all happened in less than 18 hours!

Ironically, all I did was complete the post and hit submit. That's it! The only promotion I did for this blog post was to update my status on Facebook and Twitter.

How did I do it? You will be shocked at how simple it is to be positioned within the first 2 pages on Google with a single blog post.

Wordpress blogs are extremely powerful and all you need to do is position your keywords in the right places and tweak a few minor things.

Don't worry, I am going to share the complete step by step process that I followed to do this in a later video.

But first, I am putting myself up for a challenge. At the time of writing this, Social Tribes - 3 Facebook Pages For Free Blog Syndication is positioned at no 17 on page 2 for the keyword Social Tribes. The other keyword I focused on was free blog syndication and it's positioned at no 7 on Google's page 1.

I have to admit, I was a little greedy focusing on 2 longtail keywords, but nevertheless, it worked.

So here's the challenge:

In the next coming days I am going to focus on improving these rankings. The goal is to get Social Tribes on page 1 and free blog syndication to climb at least 2 positions. Or, let's say at least 3. (I might regret typing that!)

Over the past few weeks I have been testing a few excellent software applications for content syndication, so this will be the ultimate test.

Now, if Front Page On Google In Less Than 18 Hours - Part 2 doesn't arrive in the next week, then you know that I failed miserably!

If I succeed on the other hand, I will show you exactly how I did it and the tools that were used to make this possible. Deal? Great! How is that for reality SEO?

Social Tribes being formed within social tribes? Definitely so. But how about adding a touch of free blog syndication?

With literally the entire world on Facebook, more and more smaller communities, a.k.a social tribes, are connecting like minded network marketers and social media enthusiasts.

These social tribes started out with Facebook groups, which had more of a ‘vanity’ layout with the focus on the group creator rather than place focus on social interaction.

Facebook Pages however are quite the opposite. Facebook Pages are all about the interaction, commenting, approving (like feature) of status updates and making conversation.

So what’s new? Well, 3 Facebook Pages where you can attract more visitors to your Personal Development or MLM Blog while boosting your social media buzz and retweets on Twitter.

Kary Rogney, Michael Feil and Ken Pickard have created 3 different Facebook Fan Pages for maximum free content syndication.

The idea is simple: As soon as you’ve completed a new blog post, head over to the wall and paste a brief description of your post, the headline and a link to your new post.

The social tribe members will comment, share and retweet your blog posts.

That’s it? Not quite. Be sure to do a little homework and read the notes on each individual page.

Kary’s social tribe for example suggests that you build relationships with a minimum of 5 people within the social tribe.

Not just random 5 people, but 5 people that with similar backgrounds, goals, philosophies and so forth. So 5 people that you will want to befriend anyway.

These are 5 people that you can grow an alliance with amongst other things, but lets leave all the juicy details for the notes section on the individual Facebook pages.

Here are your 3 social tribes for free content syndication:

• Tribe Mastery for Social Buzz
• Tribe Mastery For Social Media
• Tribe Syndication Network

To get the full benefit from the free content syndication, be sure to join all 3 social tribes.

There are several conclusions that can be drawn from that strange headline and  possibly even offensive for some. If you are one of the latter, bare with me. This could get interesting.

Eric Worre recently did a four part must see video interview with Gary Vaynerchuck.

There are countless golden nuggets buried within this ‘say it like it is’ debate and we are going to elaborate on a few.

So back to the major question: Are you involved in a MLM Marriage or MLM Prostitution? Here is one definition that leads to many.

Gary talks about doing what you love and cashing in on your passion.

As a network marketing professional, are you serving your passion? Or are you strapped into the quick cash mentality? Do you really want to be a network marketer and serve a goal and purpose larger than a downline? Or are you simply doing it for the money.

Of course we all want to make money, but if money is the sole motivation, chances are that you might be accomplishing the opposite.

Let’s dig even deeper.

Gary also mentions that social media is one of the best things that’s happened to the network marketing industry.

While this is true, it’s debatable that it is also the worse.

“Good is going to win, bad is going to lose”, as Gary expressed.

Social media makes it extremely hard to hide and become successful at the same time. The network marketers that’s given the MLM industry a bad rap through scams and unethical business practices now get exposed through a few Tweets and blog posts.

So why is social media bad for network marketing? Spend some time on Twitter and Facebook and experience what the majority are up to: Automated one line pitches vs. Valuable content and authenticity. Or, MLM Marriage vs. MLM Prostitution.

So let’s think ‘Gary’ here for a minute:

If we should be following our passions, creating value while serving our industry and there is no more place to hide with social media network marketing, is it possible to survive as an avid MLM Jumper?

If building a rock solid network marketing business in the new world of social media is dependent on true authenticity and and building a respectable personal brand, can you still be taken seriously in the public eye by jumping from one opportunity to the next?

We are not talking about going through and ethical divorce, the sincere decision to change companies for personal or business reasons. But rather the juggling act of getting caught up in the moment of hype and grabbing every MLM opportunity that meets the eye.

What are your thoughts? (comment below)
