MLM Recruiting Training-The Right Stuff in Network Marketing and MLM Recruiting

Author: Doug Firebaugh

by Doug Firebaugh

MLM and Network Marketing Recruiting.

Many times that word send such a chill down our backs. The reason is, is that Recruiting truly is misused in our industry, and many times lacking the "right stuff" when we engage it.

INFERNO Secret:

We all have a tendency to look at things how we see it, and not as they are.

And doing so, this creates a challenge with many mlm distributors, as the "right stuff" needs to be focused on, instead of how we feel about and view recruiting. And if a person has the "right stuff", they will find that their recruiting will be 10 times more powerful and lucrative, and successful in MLM and Network Marketing.

We enroll in MLM companies, and expect us to go to the top many times with the WRONG stuff when talking to people about our business. We often focus on the wrong things, talk about the wrong things, present the wrong things, and thus create the wrong results for our efforts.

Has this ever happened to you:

Have you ever felt like an appointment was a total waste of time?

The "right stuff" is needed to make sure that you are on target and on track with what you are presenting and talking about. Nothing worse than a train headed fast down the wrong track. It is going and in motion, but yet, it is still headed in the wrong direction.

Many folks are like this in Network Marketing. They are blazing down the wrong track. A track of limited and contained possibilites. A track of doubt and worry. And a track of negative expectations that can derail any Success Train in MLM.

Ok...what is the "RIGHT STUFF?"

The word RIGHT stands for "Recruiting Is Giving (and) Helping (and) Touching.

First, MLM Recruiting is about GIVING to the prospect what they need to transform their life and future. Give HOPE. Give FAITH. Give a REASON. Give POSSIBILITIES. GIVE to the prospect so they can feel that they have not been taken from, as so many do.

"You have so much potential inside of you, and I would love to be able to help explode that in your life!"

Give and pour into the prospect a power of Success and Achievement.

Network Marketing Recruiting is about HELPING. Help the prospect find the solution to their challenge and HELP them ENLARGE their life, future and destiny. HELP the prospect see what is TRULY possible, not what they think is possible. And HELP them with the HOPE of an incredible life, not a mediocre one. Paint a vivid picture with your words, and HELP them see a new future.

"I wish you could see you through my eyes. It would stun you. You have so much potential to Succeed, it is almost scary."

Help them see the REAL person that lies within.

MLM Recruiting is also TOUCHING. Touching their heart with Caring and kindness. Touching their minds with pictures that can become real life, with a real ending, and a real Success. Touching their emotions with the Joy of knowing that their life will never be the same after this conversation. They will TOUCH a realm of living that they never thought possible with you and Network marketing.

"How would it feel to know that you would never have to worry about money again?"

Now THAT would be Joy to many! and it is POSSIBLE!

Ok...now let's take a look at STUFF:

STUFF stands for "Success That Unveils (a) Focused Force!"

If you get it "RIGHT," in your recruiting presentation, then your mlm recruiting will contain a Success connection that will Unveil and reveal to every mlm prospect a Focused Force of Power within them. This Foucused Force of power will ignite and empower and help take the prospect to a whole new realm of possibility of Success and Lifestyle that they once only dreamed of for their life and future.

Now it becomes REAL and POSSIBLE with the RIGHT STUFF.

Do you have the RIGHT STUFF for MLM Recruiting?

Focus in on the RIGHT tactics and perspective, and you will find your recruiting will explode with the "Success STUFF" in MLM and Network Marketing.

Article Writing For Fame And Fortune

Author: Randy Justason

How would you like to have your name and web address spread all over the internet?

How would you like to have your web site move up to the first few pages on the major search engines?

Actually, it's not as difficult as you may think. It requires some time and effort on your part, however, the rewards can far outweigh the effort that you put in.

Not only can you receive thousands of dollars worth of free advertising and promotion, but you can also develop a reputation as a smart person, one who many people would like to be affiliated with.

So, just what is this all-powerful genie of self promotion?

Believe it or not, it's Article Writing.

That's right, the absolute best method that I have found to get free advertising is to write articles and submit them to ezine publishers and article directories. Website owners and ezine publishers are always looking for content for their sites and newsletters. Why not let them publish yours.

Let me give you an example of the power of writing. I had written just 1 home business article and submitted it to about a dozen online article submission sites. Prior to this, when I checked Google to see how many links I had coming in to my site, MLM Wonders, it showed only 37 links. About 2 weeks after submitting my article I checked again and had well over 300 links incoming.

If you're not sure what that means, let me explain.

By submitting my article to those few sites, I was giving anyone the permission to download it and use it as content on their sites. By checking just one of the sites I submitted to I found that my article was downloaded over 150 times. So, if 150 people put my article on their web site, just think of the exposure (and links) I am getting.

If you consider the fact that those 150 web sites may get thousands of views each month, my little article could be seen by hundreds of thousands of people. All at no cost to me!

You may also be thinking that people do not want to read articles that are just advertisements with a lot of links in them so how does that let you promote your site.

You're right about that, and also remember that most article submission sites will not let you submit articles that are just advertisements for your site or products. In fact I don't put any links into the body of my articles.

So how are all those links coming to my site?

Simple. With each article you write, you have the opportunity to put a resource box at the end. This short 'Signature File' is usually around 5 lines and is where you introduce yourself and tell the readers about what you are selling and how they can get more information. It can contain a link to your web site and an email address. This is your advertisement, and it's free.

What's the matter, don't think you can write about anything interesting?

I didn't think I could either. Then I got to thinking about what I have been doing online for the past few years. I thought about some of the problems I had and how I fixed them and how I used the internet to make money (i.e. this article). I also decided that other people may want to know about these things and presto, a writer was born!

Thousands of people are joining the internet every day and are looking for information on particular topics. Some may be looking for ways to make money, others may be looking for recipes, or articles on pets, or just about anything. The possibilities are endless. If you have a favorite hobby, share it with others by writing articles about it.

If you're not sure about a topic, do a little research on the internet. Read other articles, check websites and then condense what you learn into an article.

You don't need to be an experienced writer, just write like you would talk to someone about your topic. Try to be grammatically correct and check your spelling, or have someone check it for you.

Don't try to write it all at once either. If you're not sure what you are going to say, simply jot down whatever comes to mind then go back and fill in the paragraphs. Stop for awhile and then come back to it. You'll be surprised at how much you can remember about your topic when you are just walking around, then you can come back and type it out.

Try to keep your articles between 500 and 1000 words. Keep your paragraphs short as this makes for easier reading. If you don't like writing paragraphs, you could make it a 'Tips' article, for instance, "7 Tips For ***", or "10 Good Reasons To ***".

Writing articles can give you free promotion and at the same time develop a favourable reputation for you on the Internet.

So what are you waiting for?

A Beginner's Guide to Exchanging Links

Author: Suzanne Morrison

Reciprocal linking is an effective, free way to get more visitors to your website.

Exchanging links with other webmasters can help you in two ways.

Firstly, by getting your link displayed on other websites you are increasing the number of paths leading back to your your own site. This in turn will increase the number of visitors.

Secondly, exchanging links will increase the chances of getting your web page ranked more highly in the results returned by search engines.

The reason for this is that for most search engines, the number of links pointing to a site plays a huge part in determining where that site ranks. Why? Well, wouldn't you be more likely to visit a place that had been recommended to you by a friend? The same reasoning applies to search engine positioning.

A link from site A to site B is like a vote for site B. The more votes that site B gets, the higher it is regarded by search engines.

However, quantity is not everything! A link carries more weight if it is from a high quality site - in the same way that a recommendation from a trusted friend would be taken more seriously than a recommendation from a casual acquaintance.

If you have been reading up on the subject of search engine positioning, you may be familiar with the term "PR", or "Page Rank". Page Rank is Google's way of measuring the "importance" of a web page. In simple terms PR is a number between 1 and 10 and can be viewed by downloading the Google toolbar.

It is easy to become hung up on or obsessed by page rank, but my advice is to try to take your focus away from that PageRank icon on the Google toolbar and focus your efforts instead on building up a good set of reciprocal links. If you do this well, the PR and search engine rankings will come.

So, how do you start reciprocal linking?

The first step is to find other sites that you want to link to. Use search engines and links from other websites to find sites that complement your own and try to request links from sites that you think would interest your visitors.

You can find some linking directory resources to help you with your searching on my Link Exchange Directories and Tools Page.

You may have been recommended to avoid linking with your direct competitors. Whether you do this or not is entirely up to you - the main disadvantage of doing this is the chance of losing business, whereas the advantage is the extra traffic that you will gain by doing so.

Personally I feel that the additional traffic gained from linking to competitors outweighs the potential chance of losing business to them.

Before you start your linking campaign here are a few tips to help you:

(1)Ensure that there is a visible link to the "Links" directory on the index page of the site you are requesting the link from and that the links directory is organised. It's unlikely that your link will be found by visitors if it is one of the 100 links on an unorganised links page.

(2) Follow the above rules for your own website - it's only fair.

(3) Once you have found a page it is good manners to add a link to your own site before requesting a link from another. This way the webmaster of that site will know that you are serious and will be more likely to link back to your site.

(4) Being highly organised whilst requesting links is also important. Using link management software to keep track of all your link requests and automatically add them to your web page literally halves the time taken to request and manage links.

(5) Keep track of all the links you have requested, either through link management software or in a spreadsheet. Add the URL, date requested and contact information for all the links you have requested and update this everytime a link is approved or declined. This will help you to keep track of your reciprocal linking campaign and prevent you from looking stupid by requesting a link from the same site multiple times.

(6) Use tools to help you decide which sites to link to and to help monitor your own progress. Tools that I use include

- Alexa Toolbar - http://www.alexa.com/
- Google Toolbar - http://toolbar.google.com/
- Link Popularity tool - http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop

Finally, set yourself a goal to request a specific number of links per week or per month. Keep going until you meet this target. It may be boring, but once you get into the way of doing this, it will seem like second nature and you will start to reap the benefits in the form of increased traffic to your website!

"As we turn the corner of a new millennium, a new role model is emerging for the business world. Replacing the acclaimed corporate executive of the 20th Century will be the entrepreneur of the 21st Century. In fact, it is predicted that with the advancement of technology and the World Wide Web, entrepreneurship will surface as 'the defining trend of the business world in this next century.' A new breed of professionals is emerging - professionals who are no longer satisfied with the old social mores and work ethic so prevalent at the close of the 20th century. These new professionals are putting aside their corporate ladders and replacing them with a vision that they can create a balanced work environment which offers personal growth and fulfilment, financial rewards in keeping with how they value themselves, the chance to share their wealth, and the freedom to enjoy life. Not only employees but also employers are candidates for this new form of capitalism, tired of too many sacrifices at too great a personal cost. These entrepreneurs will become the leading economic drivers - so much so that it is expected that the 21st century could well become known as 'the entrepreneurial age.'"

High Speed Internet Benefits

Author: Frank Owen

Commonly Reported Advantages Of A Faster Connection

There are many types of high speed Internet access currently available including DSL, Cable or Satellite access. But how do you know if you need high speed Internet? The best way to decide this is to fully understand the benefits of high speed Internet. Here are some of the commonly reported advantages of a faster connection:

Dial up service typically doesn't allow end users to access video and music files as quickly or efficiently. In some cases a slow connection may completely inhibit access for streamlining videos.

Uploading WebPages and downloading information and general data occurs twice as fast when using a fast internet connection.

High Speed Internet allows businesses to have much faster access to the Web. This in turns enables better communication, the potential for video conferencing and better use of the features the Internet has to offer.

High speed Internet allows users to download photos and large email files or attachments quickly and easily.

If you have a high speed connection you can work from home much more efficiently than if you have a dial up connection.

Most people find that a high speed connection also saves them money in the long term. Using a faster connection may also reduce the problems or normal pitfalls people associate with conducting business on the Web. Even average users find surfing the Web a much more educational and enjoyable experience when they use High Speed Internet.

Affordable Advertising for Your Home Business

Author: Terri Seymour

Affordable Advertising for Your Home Business
Terri Seymour of www.seymourproducts.com

Marketing and advertising a home business takes a lot
of time, commitment and work. Those who say all you
need to do is put up a website and watch the cash come
in couldn't be further from the truth!

We need to do as many things and try as many ways as
we can to get our name out there and establish our
business and reputation, whether it be online, offline
or both! This takes imagination, and perseverance!
Below are affordable and fairly easy ways you can
begin to build your home business.

1. Word of Mouth - talk to as many people as you can
about your business. Bring it into the conversation at
every opportunity. By doing this, you could be starting
a domino effect. Some of the people you talk to
mention it to others and so on & so on. Your business
has to become a part of you and your daily life.

2. Business Cards - When you are talking to all these
people, be sure and give them a business card. Business
cards are very important and do not cost a fortune. A
good place to get business cards for only a small
shipping charge is http://tinyurl.com/6t7mw . Take
advantage of the backs of the business cards as well for
sales, specials, catchy messages - anything to help make
you and your business more memorable. Business cards
can be left almost anywhere and can also be sent in all
your mail correspondence.

3. Prizes - Contact your local radio stations, stores,
etc. that have contests. There are many places online
that have sweepstakes and contests as well. Offer your
products/services as prizes in these contests. This is
a great way of getting a lot of affordable exposure.

4. Use Testimonials - Take advantage of what others
say about you. Have one on your business card, flyers,
etc. Use them whenever you can. Most people will put
a lot of stock in what other customers say.

5. Customer Service - For a lot of businesses these days,
this seems to be a lost art. You need to go the extra
mile for your customers and make them feel special
and appreciated. This will do a lot for your business.
These customers will give glowing reports of you to
their friends and family.

6. Flyers - Design and print flyers right from your
computer. Post them on bulletin boards at grocery
stores, churches, malls, post offices, banks, etc.
Use brightly colored paper to get people's attention.
Make the message interesting enough so they want to
visit your site.

7. Article Writing & Submitting - This can be a very
powerful method of advertising as it not only brings
people to your site, it builds your reputation as someone
who knows what they are talking about an this will bring
trust. I believe just about anyone can sit down and write
information on things they know. You do not have to be
a writer nor a college graduate to write effective articles.

After you have written your first article, start submitting
it all over the net. There are article groups, article banks,
and publishers who accept article submissions.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Reprint-Articles

For more information:
mailto:articletips@getresponse.com
mailto:articlelibrary@getresponse.com

8. Networking Groups and Boards - Networking is when
you come in contact with as many people you can to
learn, share, promote, and form relationships with
prospective customers and associates. Get to know
others, learn from them, let them learn from you and
get to know you. This is an excellent way of building
a strong foundation for your business. Networking can
also bring you a lot of referrals from your associates.

http://www.javajane.com/forum/index.php

9. Online Mailing List - Make sure you capture your
visitors' emails and mailing addresses, if possible.
Start a mailing list or newsletter for your visitors.
Keep them up to date on your products, services,
specials, etc. You might also want to give them some
useful information in your newsletter. For more info
on starting a newsletter sign up for this free ecourse:
ezine-publishing-ecourse@getresponse.com

10. Moving Billboard - Turn your car into a moving
billboard. Put a magnetic sign or decal on your car
so you can advertise your business wherever you go.
Be sure and have catalogs/business cards handy for
anyone who is interested.

11. Link Exchanges - Link exchanges can bring you a
lot of traffic and they can improve your search engine
ratings. For those of you who are not familiar with link
exchanges - this is when you and add a link to another
site on your site and they would add a link to your site
on their site, linking them together.

Choose sites that are complimentary to yours,
example: if you have a site that sells pet supplies, link
to sites that give info on how to care for pets, or where
to get pets, etc. Email the webmaster and invite them

I hope some of these ideas help you get started with
an effective advertising campaign. They have helped me
tremendously!
