    The topic of "how can I get more people in my downline" ....

    The first place to start is to define the PROCESS you plan to use to
    GET people, which sounds like "isn't that what the topic is asking???"

    But really, it isn't that complicated if you start with a few good ideas
    of what your business is all about.

    Start with ... WHY do people join your company in the first place?

    Is it because of the product? The amazing pay plan? You?

    There is an entire "study" on which is best to "lead with" that we
    can get into in a few posts from now, but let's say it's your product.

    Ok ... then HOW do people learn about your product? From YOU?
    The website? Flyers? Email?

    Once they've learned about it, how do they get to BUY IT?

    These are things that are elements of your PROCESS TO SIGNING
    PEOPLE UP.

    It is going to be YOUR process. One YOU create, based on your
    own preferences.

    So, maybe you like the idea of using email.

    Ok ... whatever it is, you need to then realize, whatever it is you
    use to REACH OUT ... is the START of your process.

    Whatever THAT IS ... is where you want to pour 90% .. as in NINETY
    PERCENT of your effort, time, energy .... because the FORMULA for
    success is....

    TRAFFIC FIRST ... into your PROCESS NEXT ... = SIGN UPS.

    No "traffic" ... no sign ups.

    Driving people to that "trigger event" that starts your process,
    which may be like ...

    1. Send EMAIL

    2. See SITE

    3. Curious about PRODUCT

    4. Request INFO

    5. Connect by PHONE

    6. Order Product

    7. SIGN UP!

    Where does it all start for YOU in that process?

    SENDING EMAIL.

    That (in this example) became your process and THAT is the start.

    So, 90% of your time would be spent FINDING LISTS to send to!

    You can expand on your process.

    #1 may be...

    1. Send EMAIL - AND distribute Sizzle Cards (cards with catchy pic
    and headline with a phone # or website on it) - AND work FORUMS!

    In that case ... you would divide your time between those activities
    and SCHEDULE THE TIME to do ALL of them during a week.

    Does this sound like .... "work" to you?

    Coming from someone who has earned high 5 figures monthly and
    my close friends in the MLM industry earn mid 5 to high 6 figures
    monthly ... you won't make it in those levels without work.

    But come on ... which is easier? 8 hour days tending a hot pizza
    oven or standing in the rain (or 100 degree heat) holding a sign
    that says "Slow" on one side and "Stop" on the other ....
    or doing what it takes to build a great MLM business?

    What could be easier???

    OH ... I know. Having someone ELSE to the calling, following up,
    coaching, training and signing them up for you.

    Yup... that is a deal that works too.

    Have a magnificent week ... hope this has helped.

    FINAL THING.... to jockeyadc ... the best website to create a page
    that captures info?

    One you get the info off of when they do fill in the form AND ... that
    you can and DO send .... TRAFFIC to.

    See ya!

    Very good post Rick,

    So ... as you can see hockeyadc, the issue of "what's the best site..."
    question isn't as simple, cut and dried or straight forward as it looks.

    I'm very glad Rick jumped in with what is REALLY involved to do the
    job right. So many people who just found a site that says, "Plug in
    with us and you'll be automatically rolling in dough!" and buy that
    story (call is B.S.) are simply feeding the mouth of one of the internet
    sharks out there.

    It takes (I think I mentioned it above) .. WORK to do it right.

    Now, to what is very important in Rick's post.

    You notice he mentioned a few things that have to be done to make
    ...yes ... SALES.

    One of course is the site. Another is "consultive sales". Another
    is research. Another is "attract your target market" and Pre selling.

    Where do you start?

    My guess (I may be wrong) is most reading these posts don't have
    the BUDGET it can take to launch a full-on campaign from scratch.

    But if you're working with a half way decent MLM company (which
    is what this specific forum topic is all about .. building downline) then
    they SHOULD already have some "squeeze" (lead capture) pages
    done up for you.

    Are the necessarily going to be seo optimized and perfect and fit
    the model that a true web marketing guru type is going to say "it
    just doesn't get any better than that!"??? No.

    But will it WORK for a place to start ... that comes built in to what
    you are already PAYING to be part of that company.

    Because as Rick mentioned ... the page is only part of the deal.

    A website with no EYE BALLS on it is no better than a bill board sign
    on an empty highway with the only sound being the crickets.

    TRAFFIC ... will be king.

    Yes, traffic can come from being ranked on the first page of google.

    Again however, there is more to that story. What it takes to be
    ranked on the first page is only part of it.

    Who ELSE is there? Are you organically listed or pay for click? Do
    you have a google budget set up? All that stuff has to be worked
    with and paid for.

    Is that the only way to get traffic? Not at all.

    And what about that whole "consultive selling" thing? And pre-
    selling and ....?

    What if there was help to do all of that ... including finding an MLM
    company that really fit you and potential members for you? And
    trained, coached, did that consultive selling, prescreened companies
    so you know you're in a solid opporuntity with no "gotcha's" in 'em.

    Today, the path is still travelable to success. But there's a lot more
    to it than the old days.

    And there are people lined up all along the way to take your money
    for this, that, the other thing (think ... who got the most rich during
    the Gold Rush Days? The MINERS or the people selling the wagons,
    picks, shovels, lanterns, blankets, supplies......?)

    Today is the day to get a lot smarter about it if you plan to really
    make it a successful venture.

    Success is at hand!

    Hey hockeyadc, Oh, remember also Why do some people make it look so easy to have success in the network marketing industry when others struggle spending tons of cash to get nowhere? Being effective is so much more gratifying than being efficient. The lesser activities, no matter how well they're performed will never give the kind of results as the core ones. Taking the overall objective into consideration you must find out which activities are the most important for reaching your unique goal. Message me for a free consultation. I communicate only with my target market... : )

    Again Rick, you have hit it dead on the money.

    Aside from the sites that claim you can have the world at your
    finger tips in hours or days of jumping on board their secret
    and poweful marketing sites, the MLM industry is just as guilty.

    I'll stay focused only on the MLM part, as that's what we do.

    The biggest issue with MLM, is all the "systems" and training and
    methods they teach to be successful, either rely on trying to turn
    someone into an internet marketing guru ... because MOST people
    do NOT want to be a "sales person", thus tell people they don't
    have to be if you can get enough people to come to your site and
    just burst into spontaneous signing up ... OR ...

    They focus on teaching you how to immerse yourself in sales activity
    that involves selling, telling, explaining, following up, the 3 foot rule
    (talk to anyone within 3 feet of you) and all that goes with it.

    There is a better way.

    I'd suggest ... do contact Rick for that consultation.

    Then, contact me.

    Between the two of us, you're likely to learn what you need to go
    forward from here and have it exactly go the way you want.

    Have a super sunday!

    There sure is ibrownmarketing, the free methods can get some pretty good organic traffic. Got to go through all the roadblocks though. I'm still getting them ...it's just business as usual though. Can't get too high or too low in this industry. Gotta keep moving forward with the least amount of distractions as you can and keep your mind on marketing.

    Here's another approach ...

    One that works for the individual and can produce results FAST.

    As you can read from the posts ... internet marketing is "hot" .. but
    also carries with it a lot of work, specialized knowledge, google slaps,
    tricks to make pages get hot but not too hot ... and if you are of the
    type that you like that sort of thing, build in the time in your daily or
    weekly schedule to undertake a plan of attack on it.

    THEN ... decide what ELSE you plan to do that also fits YOU.

    We cover it all when we talk with people. It really is all about the
    individual and your lifestyle.

    Can you throw MONEY at it? There's all kinds of things that work
    when you can do that. Here's an interesting fact most people don't
    realize.

    Of all the traffic on the internet today, what do you suppose is the
    percentage attributed to Google?

    FACT ... less than 7%. Spending a ton of time and resources on
    making Google happy with you may not be your best approach.

    Where ELSE does internet traffic come from then, if Google is only
    7% or less of all the traffic on the web?

    Word of mouth, email links, bill boards with URL's on them, TV with
    websites, radio with websites, business cards with websites, coffee
    cups with websites, forums, blogs, all with links ... see?

    Then there is your LIFE STYLE itself. Where do you go? Who do
    you see every day, week, once a month?

    And once you see them, get the form fill, receive a request for more
    information .. what do you say? How do you handle it?

    What about someone who will teach you exactly what to do .. then
    do MOST of it for you?

    There is a cost to everything.

    One of those costs is TOO EXPENSIVE to pay for success. Know
    what it is?

    The cost of "doing it yourself" so you "learn from experience."

    That is a price no one has to pay any more.

    hockeyadc: Whats the best website to create a capture page with?

    Oh, Almost forgot. We use Premise Landing Pages. Recommended by the top in the industry. You can get it free along with Pop Up Domination and all the rest for less than a cup of coffee a day. I don't go and try to lesson other capture pages to think just about myself. It's just what we use. Good luck! I've been pissing a lot of my competitors off lately with all we have to give the industry so don't be surprised if you get some hate on this post. You really have to watch out who you do business with. There are a lot of freaks out there who only think about themselves.

    Well ....

    I'm not too clear on why hockeyadc would be getting "hate mail" from
    your post, Rick.

    Facts are, there's a lot of services out there that provide very good
    landing pages, autoresponders, tips, tricks, training on how to go
    about learning and implementing internet marketing.

    For a lot of people, the first place they should be looking, is with the
    very company they are working with as their primary business.

    Most have some sort of page / site that comes with the fees they
    have to pay anyway, just to belong. Or, they have a choice of a
    "Free" option for the site or an upgraded version with literally every
    bell, whistle and back office tool imaginable for $20 to $50 monthly.

    THEN .... start building your Process Of Sales & Recruiting.

    Starting with how you are most comfortable developing traffic to
    your process. There's a lot of "stuff" out there that pays lip service
    to this, using some pretty vague terms about it, but will take your
    money to "teach" what you need to do. And once there, it's all
    about getting on Facebook, SEO-izing your site, pay for clicks, etc.

    All great stuff! But it won't build your downline.

    What will build your downline, unless you can throw a lot more at
    it than a hobby effort and hobby money so you can generate so
    much traffic that the "low hanging fruit" (people who will sign up for
    anything without talking to a human being first) coming on board
    will build your check.

    I have friends that do that. One in his first 11 months (he's still in
    his first year) signed up 500 personals and has a downline of 9,000
    now, with weekly checks that average $20,000 to $35,000.

    Wow .. right?

    But, here's what it took. Constant ads in the major Biz Opp mags,
    consistent post card mailings going out at 10,000 per blast, and
    creating a system that his sign ups can use and co-op with him so
    they too can be in that flow.

    Now ... if all that sounds pretty daunting, it is if you are going it all'
    by yourself.

    Why not hook up with a partner? Just ask.

    Well, to get more people in down line first interact with the people who want to join you and aware them about goals and persuasion of company. I got so motivated from my team leader; she totally dominated the seminar by her speech.

    Hi britt,
    Congrats for joining mlm. Yeah it is quite hard to get downline than customer. These are the two common way.First find a downline from people whom you know or stranger. Second one, convert you loyal customer to downline. If these two does not work, you have to try talking with more people to widen your social circle. Contacts and communication are vital in mlm. If you have been doing all these, then just be patient. More people saying no means more people will be saying yes in later part. Some won't.Some will. So what? Move on. I hope you find this piece of information useful. In this world if you know how to talk, you can make money.[​IMG]
