Network Marketing Website and Free Advertsing

If you are into network marketing, you should in some point in time think about setting up your own website. As your downline grows, you need to ensure that you reach out to as many of them as possible and share your valuable knowledge in order to facilititate effective duplication of your system. Creating a website is one matter and getting the word out is quite another. You not only need to get through to your downlines but to your leads. Internet is international and you may never know where your leads will come from. Hence, be constantly on the lookout.

Now, you have a website ready. How do you let everyone know about this (excpet your downlines whom you can obviously go through your immediate downline).

A great website will not earn its potential if not advertised properly. There are many ways in which you can promote your website. Paying for it is one way. You can go through Google Adwords, for example, and pay for the clicks you receive to your website. However, why would you want to spend a fortune or even pennies when you can get the advertisement for your website done for free! Free advertising is not a myth anymore. There are numerous ways you can advertise you website or anything for that matter via the web.

One good way is to join communities that are based on the topic of your website. This way, you get to share valuable information with those directly interested in your products, opinions or anything you are selling via your website. Through this, you are reaching your target market directly. Therefore, no advertising efforts are wasted on dead leads. Joining and participating in community activities and topics give you different perspectives and ideas on what your target market is looking for and what is in vogue.

Thus, you are constantly updated and have better chances of updating your website with related information which are sought after by your target market. Rememeber to set your signature to display the websie address. Hence, the more you participate the more exposure your website receives. As you gove valuable feedbacks, the community memeber will be interested in knowing more about you and your services. You can just start a forum topic on your site and ask for feedback and suggestions. People love giving suggestions and as you interact with them, the interest in your site will grow. You can even create communities for free in orkut, for example.

Meet real people who are interested in what you do, offline or online. Linked In, Meet Up are all excellent platforms you can make use of. Using them is absolutely free and you can find many users out there who are constantly looking to network and build partnerships. You may never know what you may find. Visiting other websites similar to yours and asking for reciprocal links can give your site the exposure it needs. This way, a win-win situation is created for both parties involved. To do this, look towards sites that get big hits in terms of traffic turnout.

Another way to promote you website is through blogging. You can use blogger, word press or even lens. This is not only free but also fun! Wouldn't you love to share your information with as many people as possible and that too in an informal setting! Well, blogging the perfect platform to do this. Not only can you do free advertising of your website through your blog but also earn revenue from it. Placing affiliate ads and Google adsense on your blog will bring in revenue, This way, you may actually get paid for your efforts in advertising your website.

The other way is to engrave you website address on everything you possibly can think of. Start with your email. You can add your signature message with a synopsis or just the name of your website. I have seen advertisement for websites at the back window of cars even. When you are driving or when you car is parked somewhere, people will tend to read the name of your website. You may never know how many curious leads you can get from such advertising.

In conclusion, increasing visibility for your website is only limited by your imagination.

Desire Your Change so that change will desire you

Change is the only constant in this universe. Without change, you will be motorized and your life will become dull and boring. Every human being or even the animals need some form of a change from time to time. Don't you go on a holiday once in a blue moon to get over your work stress or the usual environment? Don't the bird flock together and move houses when the weather changes?

it is proven over the years that those who embraced change in the initial years had benefited tremendously from the results and those who mocked them were consistently and constantly proved wrong! Do you still believe there is only a global market for 5 computer? Nowdays, people are opting for laptops and mini's even when they have a desktop at home.

Lifestyle has changed. Last time, companies used to hire workers and they tend to keep in the conpany till they retire and then live on the pension. Now where do you find such companies. Well, where do you find employees who do not seek change?

Women used to be condemned and labeled as the housewife or even the kitchen keeper. Now, you know that women have proved many wrong when they rank tops in many feilds.

So, why is that people are still negative and unwelcoming to the idea of marketing; network marketing? This idea is not new. in fact, it has been around ever since the world was made. It is appreciated when someone recommends you a restaurant or a product that they use and urges you to try them and you do. This is a form of sharing information and everyone gets to know of a good deal. Well it is viral marketing, eventually. However, when a money value becomes attached to the same service, it becomes unwelcoming and conning. How ironic!

However, network marketing is here to say. It is just like viral fever though. You have to consistently work at your model and put in efforts to reap the benefits. If you desire your change, the change will desire you. The law of attraction is working here. If you do not show any enthusiasm and desire for your change, nothing will happen. You have to have the strong desire such that it vibrates in your soul. This vibration is what will attract the change into your life.

How do you do it?
Know what you want
Seek what you want
Do what you want
Be genuine.
Be helpful.
Be happy.

Always remember, desire your change and your change will desire you!

Importance of words in Network Marketing

Many a times, in network marketing, we are faced with the delima of choosing the correct or politically correct words. More often than not, a potential sale or affiliate or business partner slips through our conversation and we might not even realize. Here is an interesting article by Ron Kaufman that you should read. What a difference you choice of words would make.. to you and to those around you. And who knows, a potential no could become a strong YES! Read on...

I choose words every day. When speaking, writing, requesting and deciding, I use some words, and not others. You do, too.

The words we choose create meaning and mission in our lives. This became clear when a close friend said he was "still looking for a wife". I know this guy. He will only get married when he decides to stop looking, and start finding.

Listen to the difference in these few words:

"What do you want?" vs "How may I help you?"

"I didn't mean it" vs "Please accept my apology"

"It's in the instruction manual" vs "Let me answer that for you"

"We don't have any more" vs "I can order that for you now."

What a difference a few words can make.

In the bathroom of Le Meridien Cyberport Hotel in Hong Kong I found a small note with a stern message. In bold letters it says:
I FORGOT
Should you need other amenities, please do not hesitate to call our Solutions Centre. Press "0".
- Sewing Kit - Nail Kit - Razor Kit
- Dental Kit - Shoe Mitt - Mouth Wash
- Hair Kit - Others

I checked my toiletries and was relieved that I did not forget. It doesn't sound very inviting to call a "Solutions Centre" and request a "dental kit".

One week later in the bathroom of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dubai I found a small note with a gentle message:

WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS
If you require any essential toiletries, please contact reception. We will be pleased to deliver to you with our compliments: shaving cream, razor, comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, cotton wool or female sanitary products. Welcome home.

As I read the note, I felt comfortable, cared for and at ease.

What a difference a few words can make.

On a boat in Hawaii the crew were unfriendly and rude. A large sign read: "Wind and waves can tip the boat, but only you can tip the crew." There were 16 tourists on board. Not one left a tip.

At a coffee bar in Malaysia I saw a box with a sign reading "Tips are Encouraged", but I saw no smiles from the staff. The tip box was empty.

On Starbucks counters worldwide, small boxes are full of coins and notes - tips for the enthusiastic team. No sign is needed. Genuine smiles and friendly service send the message.

In the rooms at the Sofitel in Hanoi is a sign: "During your stay we would be grateful if you respect our 'no tipping' policy. Your satisfaction is our best reward."

What a difference a smile can make.

Teach key words and special phrases to your customers. This will increase their sense of belonging, loyalty and connection.

It took months of practice, but I can now walk confidently into Starbucks and ask for "a tall low fat double shot mocha with a half pump and extra whip, not too hot". (Which means a medium-sized drink with an extra shot of espresso, one third the usual amount of chocolate syrup, low fat milk steamed to a slightly lower temperature than usual, plenty of whipped cream on top.)

* * *
Choose special words and phrases to communicate with colleagues and not offend your clients.

At Disney stores worldwide, good buyers are called "Guests" and potential trouble-makers or shoplifters are called "Customers". It's very helpful when staff need to point out someone to the Store Manager or Security Guard. They simply say out loud, "A customer here needs help!" raising their first finger upwards with their thumb pointing in the direction of the potentially problematic "customer".

When will software designers realize "Search" is a database function, while "Find" is what people want to accomplish.

Every word has mood and meaning. Every word counts.

* * *
Choose your words carefully when asking staff for feedback after a training session.

The "Evaluation Form" I use features just three questions, each focusing on the value, benefit and application of new learning:

a. What did you learn today that you found most beneficial?
b. How will you apply what you have learned at work?
c. Any other comments are welcome:

I do not recommend any question that causes participants to judge the training (eg: Were you Not Satisfied, Somewhat Satisfied, Very Satisfied). This turns your students into critics at the last minute - when they should be focusing most clearly on review of Key Points and planning their Action Steps.

If your participants do have praise, suggestions or complaints about the training or the speaker/trainer, they will use the "comments" section provided.

* * *
Key Learning Point: Every word and phrase you choose conveys mood, tone and meaning. Remember, customers and colleagues come in every possible stage of enthusiasm, anxiety, understanding and confusion. Pay attention! When you are offering, asking, responding, explaining, invoicing, installing or advising - choose the words you use with care.

Action Steps: From your customer's point of view, which words and phrases sound positive and helpful, appreciative and respectful, inviting and secure? Which words sound cold and confusing, overly technical, or even condescending? Make a list.

Now review the language of your company communications. Read everything in writing. Listen to the words as they are spoken. Do you hear what customers love to hear? Or do you hear internal conversations, industry standards and company jargon? Listen carefully to your language...and improve it.

What makes an out of the world Network Marketer?

Remember, being good is not enough! Everybody is good. You need to be a cut above the rest to make your mark in network marketing business. This post is precisely written so that you will know certain attributes that best Network Marketers posess or should posess. You can call it the PPP.

Passion .... Perseverence ... Planning

Network marketing is just like starting your own business down the street. You need the passion to do it. You might be doing the same thing day in and day out. However, you need to keep the passion going ion order for your business to keep afloat and hence earn your bucks. If you lose your passion, you lose your momentum. This is true for network marketing as you constantly need the passion to fuel you up to work towards your ultimate goal!

What made you choose network marketing in the first place! Remember the time when you were considering the entrace to network marketing. You were won over by the flexibility of the system. You were won over by the impact of residual income and how will be able to retire rich at the age of 40 perhaps! However, in order for your dream to become a reality, you need the passion to work at it day in and day out!

Passion will drive the second P. Perseverance is necessary in network marketing as you will be faced with so much rejections before you hit your gold mine! If you had read about the story of the guy who gave up digging just 3 feet before he hit the gold, you would know what I mean. Netwirk marketing is not the game of luck. It is a business and you need to treat it like any other. Oersevere and see the fruits of your labor!

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail! This old saying holds true to network marketing as well. If you are given a wonderful product or idea and you do not know how to go about marketing it to make your money, it shows you do not have a plan! You would know how important it is for a business to have a plan. Without a plan, your business has no direction. You need direction in network marketing business as well.

You need to know your products or ideas inside out. You need to study it. This will give you the idea of your target audience and how you should present your data to your different audience! You will get the idea how to market your services. As you plan, you do not get distracted by anything and everything taht comes your way. You will be absolutely sure, how you want your business to prosper. And this planning will take you towards success and will make all your dreams come true!
