MLM List Building and Email Marketing Strategies

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.

We also do a lot of free training open to the public. Anyone. Well… at least all the nice people.

I created this page on my blog because the free conference calls and webinars are coming more and more often. So this page will be updated frequently with all the new training. This way you can keep up to date and not miss a single event.

Plus you may want to subscribe to my newsletter, [4MLM], go figure to make sure you keep informed. That’s right over there. –>

hosted by my good friends Julie Salgado and Diane Hochman

And tell those Ladies Jeff Neil sent ya. And please let me know what you think.

My Private Classroom is a group of very professional network marketers, with the common goal of helping other network marketers succeed. As lame as that sounds that is exactly what it is.

We are a private group. A marketing club if you will. And I was actually the very first member. But the important question is what is it that we really do.

It’s simple. We learn from each other and we teach each other.

We concentrate on social media marketing techniques, communication skills, and leadership. We teach people how to promote themselves, generate their own leads, and become an attractive marketer.

You can pretty much consider this community cutting edge networkers.

We are on the forefront of the newest technology and traffic generating techniques. Myself and other leaders are constantly paying good money for courses to stay current. And then we can turn around and teach what we learn and use to help the newer members of our community.

The difference is we don’t just give you the information and leave you hanging. We are real people. Real marketers. So you can ask questions and get them answered by people you trust. Plus you never have to worry about looking silly.

For me, the members of My Private Classroom are really like family.

It doesn’t matter if it is people I am helping learn something, or a member I am learning from. It’s all about sharing.

Of course we have an interactive forum which is very busy. But we also have several weekly calls and webinars that are exclusively for members. Here is an example of a typical week.

Upcoming Training Schedule: Week of 4/14- 4/18

Monday, April 14th @ 7:00 PM EST- Profile Critiques with Kristen

Tuesday, April 15th @ 8:00 PM EST- Video Talk with Kristen and Juli

Tuesday, April 15th @ 10:30 PM EST- Utterz 101 with Barbie

Wednesday, April 16th @ 12:00 Noon EST- The Geek Hour with Yisel: Web 2.0 for Dummies

Wednesday, April 16th @ 7:00 PM EST- The power of GMAIL: How to use GMAIL to your advantage with Jerry

Wednesday, April 16th @ 10:30 PM EST- Facebook Basics with Julie

Thursday, April 17th @ 8:00 PM EST- Mastermind Session with Diane

Friday, April 18th @ 3:00 PM EST- Becca’s Buzz Session- Blogging 101

And these webinars aren’t just interactive. They are fun. Sometimes very funny.

So here’s the deal. We cover a lot of topics. Personally I don’t need that much help wth blogging. I actually have my own section in the forum for blogging with Wordpress.

Look for my upcoming MLM Blog Course.

And I have been known to give a tip or two on article marketing as well as some other topics.

But if it wasn’t for this community I probably still would not even own a digital camera. Let alone upload videos to YouTube and other places for video marketing.

Once in awhile we also do public webinars that anyone can come to.

Our next one is Thursday, April 24th at 9:00 pm EST. Go register at www.webinarsgonewild.com and tell them Jeff Neil sent you.

So that pretty much covers it. Except for how do you actually join.

Of course you knew there was a catch, didn’t you? And OK, you got me. Yes there is a catch. But it’s a good one.

You have to become a member of Leaders Club with us to be a member of My Private Classroom.

But I don’t believe for a second you will be disappointed when you do.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. All this fancy social networking, Web 2.0…. stuff.

There’s a twitter and a twhirl, and then there’s a tweet. There’s My Space and your space and a book for your face. You can Digg or you can Stumble or do something with a Tube. But if you’re not careful you’ll look like a…. (fool?)

Seriously though, the MLM Industry is changing. Yes you still have people cold calling leads, and some distributors are out doing belly to belly. But people are starting to realize that nobody trusts anyone.

We as marketers appear as the enemy. As the bad guy. NObody trusts us which makes building a long term, strong downline pretty darn difficult.

So we have to build that trust. Earn it. To do that today in 2008 means we have to stop cramming our great opportunity in our prospects faces and become part of our prospects lives.

Gently, we want to go from being part of a group to leading our own group. To do that we have to share. And to the best of our ability we need to teach. To train. To lead.

We need to create a presence online like what is taught at My Private Classroom.

But here’s my warning. As network marketers are trying to keep up with all the hype. All the new technology, its’ very easy to get lost. Confused. And completey swept away and lose focus.

We are very social creatures. It’s easy to get so involved in socializing online that we can forget we are actually in business. Or we can get consumed with trying to just learn all there is to learn about what’s new.

But you will never learn all the tricks. All the secrets sites and special tools. You can however learn enough. In time, with effort you can become well known, well liked, and succeed in network marketing, in business, and in life like you have never been able to in history.

You do need a game plan though. You can’t just go running around doing this or doing that, just for the sake of doing. I am warning you. Have a plan. Focus on your desired outcome and not just on fun things you think are getting you there.
