How Do YOU Reveal Your Expertise In Network Marketing? Selling or Educating?

How Do YOU Reveal Your Expertise In Network Marketing? Selling or Educating?

Network Marketing is not selling. Network Marketing is connecting to people and educating them about internet marketing industry. You should not aggressively try to sell your product or service. Unfortunately, many marketers don’t understand this concept. You need to understand that marketing is not about selling, but educating your potential prospects.(Attraction Marketing Concept) Help them to understand more about you and the Industry. Marketers try aggressively to sell their products, themselves and/or services, thus turning off potential prospects. Your potential prospects are going to need to make an educated decision on why they need your service or product, so educate them.
Selling is forceful, aggressive, applies pressure, mistrust and will turn your prospects away. When you educate, you give value, you are helpful, useful and contribute to their education and this will create a bond and/or trust with your prospect. Think about the last time someone tried to sell you something!! Did you feel like running away?? When you are constantly giving value and advice, you will earn trust. Remember you are the educator, the teacher, the student, in this Industry, now and always.
In order to educate, you need to become an expert and a student to the industry. Knowledge will be ongoing.

There Are 3 Ways To Educate Yourself:

· Read – Books, Blogs, Articles, Newsletters, or News articles. Anything that will increase your value.
· Listen—Audio CDs, Radio Shows like Blogtalkradio.com, podcasts, teleseminars and live calls.
· Observe—Live Seminars are best, but there are also Webinars, informational DVD’s, video podcasts and vlogs.

The 4 Top Mistakes Marketers Make Are:

· AN UNCLEAR AND/OR COMPLICATED MARKETING MESSAGE. Marketers are unclear how to help their potential prospects. The prospect is unclear to what the marketer is trying to offer or sell.
· FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR TARGET MARKET. You need to be crystal clear who your target market is and what their problems are. If you don’t know who your marketing target or who you are selling your services too, it is going to be really difficult to create relationships to people who will want to pursue you and/or purchasing your services.
· “SHOUTING OUT” your marketing message. “Buy my product!” or “Make 10,000 in 3 months!” It turns people off. By being subtle with your marketing message, you will gain intrigue, interest, and trust with your potential prospect
· WHAT YOUR TARGET MARKET WANTS TO HEAR. Your target wants to hear, and learn solutions to their problems.

There are 10 Ways to Educate Your Prospects:

· Send out a Newsletter bi-weekly or monthly. Offer a Free-EBook
· Writing Ezine articles or Ideamarketers articles (This will position you as an educator/expert.)
· Maintain your blog. (This also educates your audience and should be updated a least once a week, but twice is better, personally.
· Submitting press releases (This is especially good because a lot of people look at them, like journalists and editors and you can post them on your website. Press releases to your prospects are great because most don’t know that you write them yourself.
· Podcasts. Your prospect can download your marketing message to mp3 and they can go about their business while becoming educated and informed.
· Hosting a Radio Show, like Blogtalkradio.com.
· Hosting a Teleseminar and/or Webinar. If they want more information on the particular topic, they will seek you out. Educate on relevant topics such as the “how to” use facebook, article writing, video marketing, twitter, linkedin etc...
· Interview other Industry Experts. This will position you as an equal to the expert you are interviewing.
· Use Youtube or Video Marketing and educate your prospect (Seeing and hearing is great educationally)
· Host a live event or seminar.

Remember you are the educator, teacher, mentor, and expert. Don’t complicate your marketing message, be crystal clear. Determine your target market, find out what their problems are and give them solutions. You should be aware of your strengths and weakness, if you are great at writing, then educate with articles, try to get out of your comfort zone when you are ready and do something different. Video marketing seems to be the way to go these days. It is a proven fact. Most people learn better by seeing and hearing at same time, personally. The more education you give your prospects, the more visible you are going to be and be pursued. You will clearly be known as an expert in the marketing industry.

“If you want to increase your value to society, you must increase your education and bring more to the marketplace.” Jim Rohn

Do You Struggle To Find Prospects For Your Business Opportunity/MLM Company?

Do you struggle to find prospects for your Business Opportunity/MLM Company?

There is no reason why you should struggle to find prospects; especially, when there are prospects already out there who are searching for YOU and your services. You need to learn “how to market” by using Attraction Marketing. Attraction Marketing draws your niche or target market to you. Again, they are interested in YOU and your service or product. Once you understand who your targeted market is than the next step is getting potential prospects to your website. You need to Build (first) a relationship then establish a relationship with them. Pick up the phone and call them. Give them value or information that they are hungry for. Once you establish a relationship keep moving forward and then eventually, they will trust you and most marketers would say then tell them about your opportunity. I prefer to give and keep giving and I believe by giving you will receive. You may not make a sale, but you will have helped someone understand and to me that is good enough. Sure, it is nice if they join my business opportunity, but I find that the more I give without wanting anything in return, it builds character in me thus, making me feel good within.

The more that you are able to get prospects who are interested in you and your services/products to your web site; (or opt in), the more you are going to find that you're able to generate leads. We call that List Building. The benefits of internet marketing begins when YOU stand out from all the competition. It only happens when you provide the information (value) that your targeted market is searching for (and you should make it easy for them to find and understand). This is when you will gain trust, and they will want you to help them build their business. I see today that most marketers want you to join their program; but in all honesty, you can find almost any type of information/value on any Search Engine i.e. Google, social platforms and/or YouTube.

The concept of Internet Marketing is the ability to build valued content or relevant content to your target market. The content needs to be meaty, interesting, and juicy”

There are two basic types to Generating Leads (List Building):

* Paid Marketing which is Pay Per Click, Solo Ads and List Builder Services
* Content Marketing (This involves personal time and you have to do the work).

You should use both as you progress and advance in marketing. But when you are learning how to market, stick to content marketing. Most of the strategies are FREE.

Paid Marketing is advanced but if you have money that you can advertise with monthly, you will generate leads faster and build your list quicker.

Pay Per Click Ads: People or potential prospects click on your ad and hopefully they will opt-in to your website, that is what you are looking for and trying to achieve; so make sure your advertisement is worth clicking on.

Solo Ads- Those are those bright lighted, blinking, goddy advertisements. The marketer pays a fixed amount of money to advertise; the reason they make it so “goddy” looking is because they want you to click on it.

Viral URL or ListJoe.com: You pay a fee and basically it is email marketing and you build your list If you want more information about any of these types of marketing, just send me an email or Google it.

CONTENT MARKETING There are many ways to get and give value. (FREE)

* Social Networks like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Search Engines, or YouTube are good ways to find the "how to’s" and find your target market
* Article Marketing and Blogging
* Video Marketing
* Free Classifieds
* Forum Marketing* Excellent source for getting and giving value.
* SEO/Keywords
* Betternetworker.com

This is most important when it comes to online marketing. You need to understand ONE CONCEPT-Knowing what you can do to get people/potential prospect to your website or opt-in

There's no reason why you should struggle to find prospects for your list building; especially when there are so many prospects out there who are searching for YOU and your services that you have to offer.

In conclusion, when you start your list building and learning how to market, always have a “call to action” = “thank the prospect for visiting your website /platform or watching your video”.

Is Network Marketing The Best Business Opportunity and The Key To Solving Economic and Financial Problems?


Last fall, as Wall Street blew up and the economy melted down, a number of large network marketing corporations posted some of the largest sales figures in their history. Even as millions of people saw their savings evaporate and stock portfolios disintegrate, network marketers world wide were quietly taking stock of their businesses and asking, “Are we okay?” The answer is yes, Here are what some prominent American Thought Leaders have to say about Network Marketing Business Model versus THE 9-5 Business Model.


Network marketing is the most giving form of business model in existence. Somebody who owns the right to give away work, which is what network marketing does, owns the gift of gifts. There ought to be a mission in their commission, because network marketers are paid in direct proportion for what they give. So, they offer it to somebody, and whether that particular person accepts it or not, somebody will accept it.

Giving the gift of freedom, the gift of employment and the gift of a future opportunity is the greatest gift ever. Opportunity is the greatest charity. Mark Victor Hansen

The beautiful thing about network marketing is that it is the most moral form of compensation there is. And it follows the very best income-earning strategy: you’re leveraging yourself and you’re providing great service. You’re waking people up. You’re showing people how to spend their days doing what they love to do, while at the same time earning an excellent income.

Properly executed, network marketing gives people time and money freedom. It gives them liberty, which is their birthright. Bob Proctor

I believe America’s economic future, the health of its commerce and service, is rooted in effective network marketing. People are sick and tired of the deprivation of human dignity they experience at the hands of so many of today’s corporations, which in the past ten years have scooped up all the quid for the guys on top, leaving behind some very talented people without a future.

Network marketing is turning off the spotlight of working for a corporation, and turning on the floodlight of the greatness that we all have within us. I love what you’re doing in network marketing, because you’re creating an opportunity to affect the self-esteem of many, many people. You’re giving people hope and providing a launching pad for them to discover their own greatness.

I think network marketing is potentially the greatest economic opportunity that has ever existed. Frank Maguire

The simplicity of network marketing is that you find something you deeply believe in, then use it yourself and tell other people about it. I believe God put each one of us here to do something special. Most of us aren’t doing whatever it is we were put here to do, because we’re living paycheck to paycheck. Network marketing is a chance for you to make a little extra money, and with that, to buy your freedom. Do that, and you’ll spend the rest of your life doing what you were put here to do. David Bach

Network marketing teaches basic, critical life skills. It teaches people how to overcome their fears, how to communicate, and how to handle rejection and maintain persistence. This kind of education is absolutely priceless.

Here’s what I tell people: “Even if you don’t like it, stay with it for five years and you’ll be better equipped to survive in the real world of business. And you’ll be a better person.” The people who are successful in network marketing have a spiritual cause. They genuinely want to help better others’ lives. If you don’t have that, if you just want a paycheck, then work for the post office! Robert Kiyosaki

I believe to win in life, and especially in networking, you need a steady flow of positive, inspirational information.


"Together, we can change the networking profession—and the world.” Bob Proctor


Excepts from Network Marketing Times

USING THE SLIGHT EDGE PHILOSOPHY FOR SUCCESS

The simple little disciplines done again and again over time would move the highest and mightiest mountains” and “any amount of snow”. This is what is known as the as the Slight Edge Philosophy by Jeff Olson. Being in MLM/Network Marketing, for me personally, I need to use this approach. I always thought by doing a little bit everyday was doing the slight edge approach and philosophy. What I didn’t do is discipline myself the right way. I got overwhelmed, tired and to the point of being in the arena of almost quitting MLM/Network Marketing. I had to take some time off and I am glad I did.

I want to tell you what happened to me while taking time off from marketing. I had an epiphany. Coming from Eastern part of this country, we have had a lot of snow and it is only February 3rd. I can remember the first snow storm of the season and just the idea of shoveling was daunting. Then getting out there and looking at all the snow that needed to be shoveled was even more depressing. It took me forever to shovel because I didn’t use the slight edge approach; I would look up and see how much more snow was left to shovel. During all of these snow storms I used autosuggestion, prayer and rationalization “I am getting back into shape”. “I can do this” It was hard shoveling period and I was so negative internally about it. I think it was during the second storm, that I was reading Jeff Olson’s book The Slight Edge. It was a bright sunny day and I can remember going out to shovel and focus on what was right in front of me and not was ahead of me. It was twice as easy not because I just focused on what was in front of me, but I was doing it for a reason, sure the sun could have easily melted some of it, but I did it with meaning and I had a better attitude. I learned that day, Jeff Olson’s true meaning of the slight edge approach. I am a better person, I am more positive when it comes to snow storms and disciplined better. My daughter Melanie is in a wheelchair and her ramp has to be clean so she can go down the ramp by herself. It was also because I need my driveway to be safe for driving in and out. Then there was the mailman who walks everyday delivering me my mail. So it was and is important to me to focus on what is right in front of me and not what is ahead of me. In conclusion to my little story of my snowy slight edge story, the point I am trying to make is you have to be positive, disciplined and focus on what is right in front of you by taking baby steps. Take baby steps and it when you do take baby steps, you learn how to master the slight edge philosophy. “Learning how to learn”. You will find if you use the slight edge approach, you might be shoveling your neighbor’s driveway.

Because I took some time off from marketing, I had to take along hard look and step back at what I had been doing for the past two years. Is network marketing my passion? My passion is learning, teaching, networking and people. These last two years have not been wasted but I know I could have been more focused and if I understood things, followed through more efficiently took the slight edge approach more seriously, and disciplined myself better, things would and probably be different today. It’s not just about doing a little bit every day. It’s about DISCIPLINING YOURSELF to focus and do something with meaning and to learn “how to learn”. It doesn’t have to be huge; it just has to be meaningful. When I read Jeff Olson’s book called the Slight Edge, I read it too quickly the first time and I didn’t get the flavor and meaning that it means to me today. My understanding is that when I do something every day with meaning and continue to do it, you begin to discipline yourself and understand what you are doing, and it keeps me moving forward.

I can say today, that my passion is to teach, network and learn; my passion has and will always be to help others.

If there is a part of Jeff Olson and his book that I want you to take it is to remember when you were in the process of learning how to walk, you crawled, and how many times if you can remember; which you probably can’t, did you fail but you kept trying to get up and walk. Aha! But you learn how to walk, how miraculous.

What is different today is people want to run; they don’t want to take baby steps with any goal. When did you lose the ability to make a goal, go for it, and get it?

Somewhere along the way in your/our lives, we were conditioned. You and I became unwilling to take baby steps. You and I lost faith in the universal truth that the simple little disciplines done over and over, again and again over time would move mountains and be profound.

The Slight Edge philosophy is based on doing things that are easy-little disciplines (baby steps), in which, over time done consistently, add up to the biggest achievements. The problem is that all those things that are easy to do are just as easy not to do. Why is something easy not to do? If you don't do it; it won't kill you TODAY. But, that insignificant error in judgment, compounded over time, will d destroy you, kill your dreams and desires and ruin any chance for you to have success, you can count on it. If I am wrong, I will shovel your driveway.
