If your goal is to make money using your computer and the internet than increase your chances of success by joining businesses that can be marketed globally. Although you will hear about how good compensations plan are don’t join a business based on how much you “think” you are going to get paid. Never rely on your upline to make you money. You will see programs that tell you to just get in and get paid… (THIS IS THE WORSE) you will never ever just get in and get paid.
In the olden days of direct marketing you use to have to ask your friends and family members to join your business. You use to have to attend local meetings. You use to have to cold call prospects. These are all things of the past.
There is certainly many people today struggling to market online. The reason for this is because they have been unwilling to do what it takes to create the atmosphere of success around them.
Internet Network Marketing Break Down!
Success in the “internet marketing industry requires that you understand basic marketing principles. Some of these principles are as follows.
Building a list – This is probably the most talked about subject in the internet marketing world and for good reason. The money ultimately is in your list. Unless you are using a autoresponder that will allow you to broadcast anytime you want and say what ever you want you are not building your own personal list.
Using squeeze pages -Â Squeeze pages are designed to offer free trial offers, free reports, free videos anything that will get a person to opt in to your list and want more information. Your squeeze page is just as important as building a list.
Knowledge Of How To Advertise -Â To be perfectly honest you can know ZERO about list building and creating squeeze pages if you know how to get traffic…..This makes sense but in application can very difficult. This is where lazy people loose all their money. Without proper advertising know how you may as well just give your money away because you can loose money faster than you can say OOPS!
There are 2 types of free advertising online. Quality targeted traffic and not so quality targeted traffic. Do you know why people fail more than they succeed online? The reason is because they spend way to much time going after traffic that is not interested in what they are selling.
Relationship Building -Â People do not like to buy from people they do not know or trust. The longer you avoid putting your videos online or starting a blog the longer it will be before you start getting looked at as someone who might actually be able to help… And to make money in the internet network marketing industry you need to be seen as an expert if you really expect to make any money at all.
Creating Your Image - This goes hand in hand with relationship building. To brand yourself online is not hard at all, people make it harder than it has to be.
Provide Value – I will take quality over quantity any day of the week. Your subscribers will also take the same. The more value you can provide the more success you will fine.
Leverage - The real “Secret” to success in the internet network marketing industry is being able to leverage the success of the people you work with to create your own success story. This is my secret to success.. When I first started in this industry I had no success at all. The best that I could do was use my “companies” lead capture pages. I got some sign ups but it was nothing to really talk about..
But I tried an experiment, Instead of talking about me , me, me I talked about the success my team was having. What was really great was my sponsor put a video on youtube that I could put on my OWN lead capture page. So I showed his video with my marketing message and my sign ups doubled. I ran with this and started promoting how our team was this that and another and you know what the sign ups kept pouring in. After about 3 months of seeing constant growth I stopped marketing my sponsor and started marketing me again but this time I had success I could talk about.
The advertising part of it never changed. What changed was I leveraged my team and their story to create my own and you know something it worked…
I did it again when I joined NPN, I leveraged my teams story with the added benefit of getting me as their sponsor and again the sign ups poured in.. My point here folks is don’t try to re-create the wheel , make the wheel better..
Here is the mistake to avoid at all cost - Until you have brought a few people into your business , DON”T market yourself——————> I know everyone including me tells you to brand yourself online. But this only works once you start the fire. Until you can tell someone YES I AM MAKING MONEY ONLINE BY DOING _____________ then you shouldn’t be marketing yourself. You should be focusing on what your entire team is doing for their downline. Chances are someone in your upline is having tremendous success, find out what they are doing and talk about it.
You will find the more you learn about your team and the strategies they use to build their business the more you will have to blog about and the more valuable content you can give your subscribers and the relationship between you and your subscriber begins.
I have met some really great people online because of Internet Network Marketing…
In the world of internet network marketing, there is a term that is heard more and more. That term is “Attraction Marketing”.
Attraction marketing is certainly another important skill for you to understand and master. Without the ability to brand who you are in the eyes of your prospects it will be very hard to convince them to join your business. Attraction marketing is also a key component to having a successful internet network marketing business.
The big question is how do you brand yourself and attract the right people to your business?
Here are some ideas for you to think about.
Whenever you can give a testimony give one. But only consider giving testimony if you know you are going to get a back link out of it.
Blogging is not only fun it is also profitable. If you are an internet network marketer a blog is the perfect tool to brand YOU in the eyes of your subscribers.
Social networks can also be very effective in attracting the right people to your business.
If we broke down the term internet network marketing. You would realize that success in the home-based business niche comes down to your ability to master internet marketing skills and network marketing skills.
At the most, the basic level of network marketing comes down to nothing more than sharing your business opportunity with other people. For countless thousands of people, this has been very hard because historically you are told that you should ask your friends and family to join your business.
Even if you don’t mind doing that kinda thing you only have so many friends and family members to bother.
Success on the internet comes down to your ability to direct traffic and share your information and knowledge with others. 99% of the time we don’t even own any products ourselves that we sell we are “Affiliate Marketers”. Once you understand this fact you will be ready to make money online.
Attracting the right person to your business is a matter of you being able to sell yourself on what you are doing. Once you sell yourself it is easy to sell to others. Have you ever heard the saying “Become a product of the product”?
If you can do this it becomes easier to attract other like-minded people.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: If you don’t believe in yourself nobody else will believe in you.
Step out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there. There are many many ways to get traffic to your website, learn as many as you can and share that information with everyone you talk to. It’s priceless information.
Market products that have real value. Personally, I like selling products that help people increase their business.
My success has come down to being able to help people avoid spending thousands of dollars on learning. The best thing I could have done for my internet network marketing business was to learn the many different ways to get traffic to my business and share that information with whoever joins my business.
The most important skill you can master is email marketing. 99% of your business is conducted through emails. So I thought I would give you some insight into how I effectively email market.
The mistake a lot of people make is they don’t realize they are losing money by not effectively marketing to their list. You need to brand yourself in the eyes of your list subscribers. This is where having a blog and using youtube can be very effective.
Building a profitable list takes time. You need to win over your prospect’s trust, this might take months and sometimes years. On more than one occasion I had subscribers that joined a business after being on my list for over 2 years.
If you want to get sign-ups faster to your internet network marketing business, you will have to use things like blogs, lead capture pages, and video marketing…These help build credibility, it shows that you know how to utilize all the internet has to offer a marketer.
More often than not most people who will come visit you are newbies. After marketing for 8 years I still don’t know everything I am in a constant state of learning. The more “real” knowledge you have the more valuable you will be to someone.
That is why people who go around and talking about how great their comp plan is etc… Don’t usually get very far
Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have $100 from 100 people or $1 from 1,000,000?
Let Me ask you another question:
Do you think it is easier to sell something for $1 or $100
My point is that many people will try and sell you on how much money you can make.
Of course, I am sure everyone reading this would rather have a million dollars.
Utilize email marketing to its fullest potential, market products that have real value, and your business will go far.
Using this strategy has been responsible for the growth of my internet network marketing business.
A new advertising source I have been using.
It’s effective and has a really good compensation plan on the back end..
Check it out if you have some time!
What you think of your self will eventually be who you are.
We create our own image of ourselves, look in the mirror who do you see ? I heard a saying once “fake it till you make it”.
It doesn’t mean to lie. It means believe in yourself or nobody will believe in you. Success and Failure spreads like a virus, the good news is we create both. That means we can to some degree control our destiney. Everyone fails, there isn’t a person alive that hasn’t failed at some point in their life. I know of another good saying “winners never quit and quitters never win”.
