MLM List Building and Email Marketing Strategies

MLM Spies? What the….?

Sure, think about it. Whatever it is that you promote, someone else is trying to earn money from the same thing. Could be your primary program, a lead deal, or something you are an affiliate of.

This isn’t some huge secret thing I’m talking about. But it definately is worth being reminded of.

You see, I was looking through my stats and noticed someone had done an image search, looking for a thumbnail for a specific product. Something that I just happen to have a graphic for.

Obviously they were not looking to buy this, but rather promote it themselves.
Hmmm, spies, competition… Same thing.

So there are ways you can protect yourself and keep people from trying to copy your images. But I figure why bother. Because images also bring you extra traffic. Without work even.

The way to add profit from this is promote different things. Anne Sieg’s The Renegade Network Marketer for example or perhaps Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring or even his new Black Belt Recruiting.

Something I remember from my old Adsense days (when it first came out) is people are click happy and easily distracted. It’s like leaving crumbs of something that tastes real good.

Many of the people that come to your website come looking for one thing, but they end up clicking on and buying something else that will help their business.

And that is a good thing.

Maybe later on they might join your primary opportunity as well. It’s been known to happen. If not, you are still positioning yourself to earn more income. And that is why you’re in business, right?

If you’re not already, set yourself up so you can earn more than just what you get from your downline. You can do it without any extra effort. I mean really. It’s free money. Get some!

We all want leads. We all want to find people that would be interested in what we have to offer. And yes we can buy them. We can start cold calling and hope for the best.

But a better way is to bring people to us with attraction marketing. By providing content. As in good helpful information.

The problem most network marketers seem to have is a lack of faith in themselves. They think they have nothing to offer. That they do not know anything of value that they can share.

Hogwash!

Everyone has valuable information they can share, teach, to other people. That’s one of the unique things I love about My Private Classroom. It’s a small tight community of people in mlm where you can get help not only learning web 2.0 and other marketing strategies. But also get help building yourself up so that you know that you can teach.

Because you can.

Now I’m calling this post generating leads. But I really don’t like that term. What I really see in my head for you is creating an audience. People who want to hear what you have to say. People that will hopefully read your blog or better yet, subscribe to your mlm newsletter.

One of my favorite ways to do that is with free reports. You can use them to direct traffic to websites. And you can also use them as an incentive to subscribe to your list. There are also things you can do to get other people to give away your reports for you.

No big secret.

I’ll give some ways to actually promote your reports in a future post but today I just want to give you the basics of getting one started so you can end up with a “system” like my Network Maketing 101

So there is a couple of things you will need. First, you obviously need the report. You could use articles that someone else wrote (not so effective). You could buy private label reports and articles (better). Or you could just write what you know. (best)

As I said earlier everyone knows something. Even though we often do not even see it. So to help you pull out that ebook that is inside of you, you must read Make Your Knowledge Sell. This is now free, but don’t pass this up. It did cost $49.95 just a few days ago.

The next thing you will need to increase the perceived value of your report is a quality image or graphics. There’s that old saying that you can’t judge a book by its cover. But guess what? We do!

Now I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure my grandkids are better artists than I am. That and I hate learning complicated software. I even stick to Notepad when I write because I can’t stand that paperclip dude.

What’s he want anyway?

So I had to go a long time without being able to create my own ebook covers. But that was before I got this low cost graphics editing software.

Sure, I am still no artist by any means. But I am now able to get by just fine. Check that page out and see the graphics I made.

so there you have it. How to create a free report and how to make ebook covers so people will want it. A great way to build that audience.
