    beginhere: My inbox is full everyday with different opportunities to join their business. I'm sure many here have this ideal situation of a hot prospect. Let me share with you what I do to generate a lead.

    I do reply back with just one simple question and always and I mean always generates another email from them. This is my question.
    "What exactly do I have to do to be successful in your business?"

    Hi Susan,

    Are you trying to reply to an autoresponder? If you are, you
    probably will never get a reply. When I send an autoresponder
    message out I include a separate email address at the bottom
    of the page. That way if anyone has a question they can reply
    to an address that gets read daily (well ... usually I read them
    daily).

    If not, then disregard this post.

    Best Wishes
    Michael

    mr127500: "god give me the strength to change the things i have power over, accept the things i cannot and the wisdom to knwo the difference"

    Mathew,

    I believe that's the serenity prayer.

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know
    the difference.

    Of course there's also the senility prayer.

    God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked
    anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones that I do,
    and the eyesight to tell the difference.

    And, finally the humorous serenity prayer.

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the
    wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today
    because they ticked me off.

    Now, where did I leave those bones? The older I get the more
    my memory tends to fade and I start to repeat myself. The
    older I get the more my memory tends to fade and I start to
    repeat myself.

    Keep smiling,

    Myspace and other social networks won't work unless you like to socialize...

    It's really not set up for mlms. (my opinion)

    Lots of people go on there and start spamming their opportunity, when your really supposed to make friends, let them know what you do and hope eventually that a viral type situation happens.

    In other words, someone may be chatting with a friend on myspace and the subject of what you do comes up and they say " hey I know a guy that has this(whatever it may be) and they refer you to them.

    It's lots a work and I don't mess around there but for those who like meeting new people and have what it takes to market there, it could be a gold mind.

    Miram is right about Myspace. The best way to use sites like
    that are to make friends. If the subject comes up about making
    money online then your window of opportunity is open.

    As far as youtube goes, you can create a video using your own
    video camera (I have a Flip camera ... they're great) or you can
    use a free software like camstudio, create a powerpoint
    presentation, then use your software to convert it into an AVI
    file and upload it to youtube. I created a couple this way just
    to test what I was taught and one of them was on the first
    page for about a month and got over 8000 hits. Now it's not
    even in the first ten pages ... it was a funny ppt and not really
    intended to make money with. I intend to make a serious one
    using my flip phone soon.

    Once you've uploaded your video you can add a description of
    your program (be sure to include your link) and you can add
    keywords. The competition is getting tougher, but with the
    right niche and good keywords you can move to the first page
    for you niche. A good tip is to use your best keywords in the
    title. You might also consider using a site like TubeMogel so
    your video can be broadcast on many video networks.

    Good Luck

    coreyjroman: MLM who offers products that are not really competitively priced or even needed and just wants to focus on the business "opportunity". So remember the key to developing a succesful downline is finding an organization that gets you excited about promoting their products and services first... not promoting their business opportunity! A truly good MLM will not need promotion if they offer tangible value... The "opportunity" will promote itself.



    I wish an MLM company would come out with a product that was not over priced or at least be as good as what you can get elsewhere. Thats why I think cash leveraging was invented....

    Some of the top people in mlms don't even use the products. It's all about recruits and cash...[IMG]

    Yea, a lot of it is aobut the recruiting and leveraging the peopl underneath you i feel like too. The main thing i dont like about most mlm compensation structures is they way that they are not incented to train you as at a certain point, you will break away or even pass them, making it studip to give your best knowledge.
  9. s12345 New Member

    i think you have to consider these points:

    1.Instead of selling the product directly, take a different approach like a mini website leading to your main one.

    2.Provide your downline with successful marketing tools

    3.Incourage and help your downline and inturn they will help you!!

    Good luck

    You know, I don't see how anyone can fail in MLM or Internet Marketing
    once they have a list of opt-in clients.
    Success in any Affiliate programme can be yours and we all know "the money is in the list".

    How do I list build then, I hear you ask. Well its not hard, in fact its dead easy once you know how to put the system together.

    Do you know why most MLMers (95%) fail? Well I'll tell you. Its because
    they insist on pushing their product ??“ trying to sell the product ??“ pushing it down people's throats. That is surest way to Carey Street (bankruptcy),

    You see, instead of promoting the product they should be promoting THEMSELVES !
    At the same time they should be giving away something of great value.
    OK OK I hear you say ??“ tell me more.
    Alright, but how would you like to generate 50+ leads every day?

    Want me to tell you?
    Look at my bio ??“ it will tell you who and what I am

    Warm regards.

    Another way to be successful in anything you do is your attitude.

    I learned a lesson many years ago, my situation prior to arriving in Canada, I was an uneducated loser, who had the troubles of the world on his back.

    I read a book and took it to heart, all about attitude. That book was Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" Take it from me, nothing works if you are negative.

    However, I changed, millionaire 3 times broke 4, still I am positive.

    It seems for us, our success has been in caring more about how our team does, than in feeling like we're in competition with each other.

    Because we initially concentrated on sharing the "opportunity" with people we knew, working together came fairly naturally, encouraging each other, being accountable to each other. Plus we have a great product to sell.

    Hi everyone

    I think the best mlm advertising is using youtube and marketing your videos to millions a day!
  15. timhale New Member

    Hey Robbdogg,

    I like your idea about using YouTube! Is this only helpful if you're looking for a national or international audience?

    What if your business needs to focus more on your local market? Any advantages there?

    Please share...thanks!

    The Key to building a successful downline is to have a Success Plan to give your new members. Showing them a step by step plan will help them to successfully build there own downline and yours.
  17. RICH4NURICHE New Member

    Start with planning to establish a customer base. Any business that aquires a loyal customer and builds from there, gets a good customer base and shows true credibilty. if this is passed on to downline then growth will be the result. Relationships with people builds basic trust. Trust can lead to approachable prospects. The rest is up to you.

    The main thing is to convene people about your business, if he will be convened then it easy for him or her to join your program.
    Down liner Builder are also very good for making Down lines.

    For an MLM / Network Marketing opportunity to work you need Affordable Products That Sell Well And Marketing Systems That Work:

    1. You need products that sell like Chocolates at Easter-Time, Toys at Christmas, Turkeys on Thanksgiving or Cold Drinks during a summer heatwave.

    2. The products must be AFFORDABLE to most people, EVERYBODY must be able to afford to buy them and the products MUST be consumable, so they generate REPEAT BUSINESS (this is SO important!)

    3. You can't be asking your prospects to pay anything up-front, like an associate joining or registration fee, or be made to buy some kind of "Business starter kit". No !

    4. The business system, support system and marketing plan must be SO SIMPLE and is MUST BE very EASY TO FOLLOW, so that even a complete moron should be able to get to at least $500 per month in on-going earnings within just a few short months !!!

    Here's a few helpful hints:

    1) Plan on sponsoring 75-100 people ... then you'll have enough personally sponsored people to identify your 'A' players

    2) Help your 'A' players find their 'A' players and continue this down through 4 levels - this builds strong depth in your organization

    3) Once you have 4 leaders in a leg, repeat this with another 'A' player in a different leg ... this adds more income stability the more legs you can repeat this with

    A simple plan to build a strong downline in any MLM...

    Regards,
    Scott
