I realize this statement is reversed from the way it is normally said, but if you are practicing Attraction Network Marketing, this way is more accurate. You want people looking for you.


It takes time to build such a reputation, but it will pay off in the long run. Building a reputation as a trusted leader is no small task, especially when so many are trying to do the same thing.


The concept is simple really. Offer something of value to those around you. I could give examples, but I do not want get you focused on one or two things. It would be much better if you come up with an idea on your own.

Just think about the things you need for your business, and offer to help others with the same needs. Ask yourself these 3 questions:

What is my biggest need in my business right now?

How can I address it?

How can I help others do the same?

If you can answer these three questions, you are well on your way to establishing an Attraction Network Marketing campaign that will surely yield the results you seek.

Big MLM Tip - Building Your Brand via Social Media

Picking up from yesterday's post, you now have a friend base. This helps lend credibility moving forward. It is hard to brand yourself as an expert when you only have 3 friends, one of whom is your mom. 

Alright, let's start building Your Brand presence. We will continue to focus on facebook for now, but you will want to be utilizing as many other networks as possible as well. Your Brand needs to be represented in as many places as possible. For instance, I frerquently have people tell me things like, "You are everywhere", or "I keep seeing you pop up all over the place". That is when you know your branding efforts are working. 

If you set up your Facebook presence as outlined yesterday, you now have several groups in which to start working. The idea is to offer value to the people who read what you write. If you write a blog, add your blog posts to the groups. Remember, helpful blogs attract. Blogs that arer overly promotional get ignored. Be helpful whenever you can. 

A couple good way to get people to notice you is to share their content on social media and bookmarking sites (known as blog syndication) and through blog commenting. Tomorrow we will look at these two methods of gaining exposure as well as a list of some Facebook groups you may want to check out.

Big MLM Tip - MLM Prospecting Tips – Blogging

Having a quality blog, that gets plenty of traffic, is one of the best methods of attracting free leads for MLM. I recently did a series on operating an MLM Blog. Click HERE to review this series. 

Rather than repeat myself, let's look at the advantages of blogging for network marketing. 

Operating your own MLM Blog can be a lot of work, but can also yield some great results. Your MLM Blog offers you the chance to do some serious SEO work, which will pull highly targeted leads to your page. These are people who are actively searching for what you have to offer. 

Helping people be able to find you is much easier than trying to find them from the billions of people on the Internet. Once they find you, you need to give them what they are looking for. 

Offering an incentive in exchange for an email address is the preferred method. They say "The money is in the list". You simply cannot build a successful network marketing business online unless you are generating a list of prospects. 

Another huge benefit of blogging for network marketing is the ability to brand yourself as an expert in your industry. People will start to follow you, and will eventually come to you when they need help or are looking for a company. 

Can you build an online network marketing business without a blog? Sure, as long as you can find quality leads and build your list. Eventually you will want to try your hand at blogging though. Keep this in mind. 

When you run an MLM Blog, it is the hub around which you will build your business. Everything else you do will relate to it.

If you need help finding prospects, visit my MLM Prospecting System page now.  I will show you how to start pulling a steady stream of fresh, qualified, free leads for MLM today.

Big MLM Tip of the Day - MLM Prospecting Tips - Social Media

There is no doubt that social media is fertile ground when it comes to generating free leads for MLM. Sadly, most people go about it wrong. 

What's worse is, everyone and their brother claims to be an expert at social media, and if you pay them $49.95 they will prove it to you. 

Here's a BIG MLM TIP for you... SAVE YOUR MONEY. 

You do not need to spend money to learn how to make the most of social media. All you need to do is find a few people who are making it work and watch what they do. 

Want a good place to start? Here are 3 Facebook groups that you should be following. They are not yet large groups, the members are a good example.

Syndication Elation is my group. The members post their blog posts to the group wall and other members syndicate it across various social sites. We are all starting to see a serious bump in traffic and search engine rankings as a result.

Sharing Marketing Solutions For Free is a group that was started by my good friend Wendell Bulbaai . This is another great group where members share their tactics, experiences and knowledge with the group.

What these groups have in common is, they are full of professionals. You will not find spammers and the like here. I suggest joining this groups and getting to know the members. You will learn a lot from them.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: 3 Components of an MLM Blog - Keywords

Over the past few days we have been discussing whether or not you are ready to start your own MLM Blog and the 3 key components of your blog. 

Today we will talk about keywords. You can visit my SEO page for information on doing keyword research. 

Let's touch on how to use keywords in your blog. When you are first starting out, you should find 3 or 4 good keyword phrases to target. Eventually you will have dozens of keywords you are targeting, but a few will get you started. Every post or page you create should include at least one of these keywords, and be sure the post or page title includes that keyword. 

Also, your keyword should appear in the first and last sentence of each post as well as in the body of your text. If your posts are longer, say 500 words or more, you will want to include your keywords 4 or 5 times. If they are short, like most of mine, at the beginning and end will suffice. 

You do not want to have your keyword density to get higher than about 6%. Google "keyword density tool" and you will find several. 

If you do your keyword research, post quality keyword specific content on a regular basis, and be persistent, it will pay off in the long run. In about a week I will be doing another series soon on backlinking that will focus more on how keywords work for you and how to tie them all together.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Promoting Your MLM Blog: Syndication

Syndicating your content, at first, can seem a bit confusing. With the tools that are available though, it is really simple. Sites such as twitterfeed, networked blogs and ping.fm are really easy to use. 

If you are continuously writing quality content, your followers and friends will share your posts as well. This is where the real power comes from. 

I do have a syndication site I can recommend if anyone is interested. I have not fully tested it yet, so I won’t openly promote it, but if someone wants to check it out, I’d be willing to share. 

I also have some ideas for content syndication that I have been working on with members of my mastermind group. I will post about it here when there is more to tell. 

For now, if you want more information on the power of content syndication, the folks at socialmediascience.com have put together a book entitled “Syndication Revelation”. Click to title to go read it. There is a lot of great information in there.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Promoting Your MLM Blog on Blog Directories

Blog directories are a great place to start when promoting an MLM Blog. Most are free to submit to, although they usually require a reciprocal link. 

You will surely get some traffic from these sites, but the real benefit is having another backlink. I have actually had a link to my blog via a blog directory get ranked on page 1 of Google. These can be very beneficial.

Be sure to fill out the profile information at each as well. You want people to be able to find and get to know you.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Promoting Your MLM Blog: Blog Commenting

Blog commenting is a great way to promote your MLM Blog. Sure, you can get a bunch of backlinks, but there is much more to it. 

First, you will learn a lot from reading other blogs. You can learn things to help you in your business as well as get ideas for topics to write about on your blog. 

You can even build some good relationships with other bloggers in your niche too. Networking with others is a powerful thing, as if you did not already know that thanks to the popularity of sites like Twitter and Facebook. 

The biggest thing to keep in mind when commenting on blogs is to add value. Comments like, "Nice post" are not helpful to anyone. Most bloggers see this as spamming their blog and will remove your post. 

On the other hand, if you leave good feedback, many bloggers will return the favor. This is helpful to you since having a lot of comments makes you look like more of an authority.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Commenting on Blogs, Forums and Videos

There is more on this on the SEO page of this blog, but here we want to talk about what commenting can do for branding purposes. 

The same applies here as in commenting in social media groups. The biggest benefit of course is backlinks, but if you are commenting often, people will start to remember you. 

Then, when they see you somewhere else, they will remember you from what they have seen. If your comments exhibit your expertise, even if it only in one area, that is what you will be remembered for. 

This is yet another tool to help with your branding efforts.
