Facebook Marketing 101

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success


If you are a network marketing or mlmer (Multi-Level-Marketer) you have probubly have learned the magic of online marketing. It has expanded the world you are able to find success in your network marketing business to an entirely different level. A place a lot of people have found a lob of success in is in the social networking world such as sites like Facebook and My Space. It's great to be able to do not just connect with old friends and family members, but to generate prospects also with some Facebook marketing.

Have you been in Facebook and gotten some of those messages or seen those posts? I am honestly blown away at the ways some of these people go about marketing on sites like this. They message everyone under the sun and try tell you that their business is the greatest, it's the best thing you will ever find..you have all seen them.

Do you think that method works for people? I don't know about you but it doesn't seem like that would be the right way to go. Yes, have faith in your primary business, abosolutly believe in it but facebook marketing isn't going to work for you if you are shoving information down someone's throat!

Now I am not saying lie about what you do, just be yourself. As with any other area in marketing you want to offer value to your prospect (or friends). If they are interested in your business they will let you know. All you will do is making people avoid you if you are shoving information down their throat. The key to Facebook marketing isn't what you would expect it to be. The key is to just be yourself. Believe that people will want to get to know you by just being yourself!

Hype or Offering Value - How Should You Build Your Network Marketing Opportunity?

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success


MLM is famous for over-promising and under-delivering. One thing's for sure: there is a lot of hype in Network Marketing.

Unfortunately, all the hype out there creates false hope and expectations, which contribute to the negative image many people have of the network marketing and home based business industry.

If you are new to Network Marketing (or even if you've been in the industry for awhile), you may be tempted to contribute to all the hype out there. After all, if other people are doing it, it must work, right? It may work sometimes, usually in the short term, but something that will work far more effectively is adding true value to prospects.

People who attract customers and business partners with hype generally don't attract people who stay very long. On the other hand, Network Marketers who attract people by providing valuable information, no strings attached, are likely to attract higher quality prospects and customers. Higher quality prospects and customers will inevitably lead to a more successful business.


Here are a few tips to help you make sure you're adding value to the Network Marketing industry rather than flooding it with hype.


Put Yourself in Your Prospect's Shoes. If you were the prospect, what would you think about the presentation you are giving, the ad you are placing, or the forum post or article you are writing? Would it sound like a sales pitch to you? If so, go back to the drawing board. Find a way to present your information without giving a sales pitch. You'll be surprised at the results you get when people don't feel like your only motive is to get them to buy something from you!


Have Integrity. If you value your integrity, you will be adding value instead of hype. You will conduct business in an ethical and honest way. Always remember that no sale or new business partner is worth ruining your reputation. People appreciate honesty, and when you show you are a person of integrity, people will want to do business with you.


Teach Others. Many people enter the Network Marketing arena with no background in business or marketing. When they see what other people are doing, they naturally join in. They don't know any other way. When you teach others a better way--that they will be more successful in Network Marketing when they add value rather than hype, they will follow suit.


I hope that helps you!

5 Benefits Of Network Marketing/MLM Funded Proposal

Copyright © Karen Pore, Your Partner In Online Success

Using a funded proposal to build your primary MLM opportunity is the smartest thing anyone could do to insure success in this tough home based business industry.

There are many benefits to why the funded proposal makes real good sense, but I would like to share my five top reasons why everyone should be building a MLM business using this model.

Especially if your new to network marketing or haven't had any real success yet.

1. The high rate of sales that gets generated from an inexpensive information product funds your advertising and increases your business cash flow instantly. You can reduce your marketing expenses to ZERO (or in some cases make a profit) by retailing low cost information products on the front end to your leads. This really critical for survival when you consider that 95% to 97% of your leads you generate or buy will never join your primary MLM opportunity.

2. It's always going to be easier sponsoring an existing customer than trying to sponsor a complete stranger. You should never try selling your prospects on your networking opportunity the first time you have contact. You always sell them an inexpensive information product that offers value and helps them solve a problem.
3. You get to position yourself as an MLM expert instead of of some sleazy sale person like every other networker that doesn't know what they are doing. You start to offer value, build trust and gain respect with your prospects because you offer them more than just another opportunity. You offer a solution to their problems, a system to plug into, and your help.

4. Your prospects get pre-trained and educated on how to generate an endless supply of leads independently so one day they can become a leader who just might be your future business partner. Instead of just trying to sell them on hype and false promises which is extremely short sighted. So, why not sell them a retail product that will turn them into a better business owner and future leader right from the start?

5. Using a funded proposal gets your new reps into a positive cash flow situation immediately. Offering a low-priced, fast selling retail product first, funds theirs and yours advertising campaign which gets your new reps into making money as soon as possible. This creates momentum in your team and will decreases attrition or distributor fallout.
This is the smart way to recruit in network marketing in the information age. This is how the masters of this industry make it happen. Do you think they do home meetings or buy lead and make cold calls?
No.
They market information, which pays for their advertising, which serves as a never-ending source of free leads for their network marketing business!
You use a funded proposal online system, (like the Streamline Funnel System itself), as a way to earn immediate profits, which means you can afford endless advertising, which means you can always generate endless leads, which means you can sponsor more reps.
It's like a perpetual online MLM marketing machine that just keeps feeding off of itself.
Our ads drive targeted traffic to our Funded Streamline Sponsoring course or FREE Leads 4 Life bonus for us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, completely hands-free...And it does the same thing for all Funded Streamline Sponsoring system users.
Retail profits from generic information products = Free Advertising = Endless Leads = Endless Home Business Growth!I hope you too are starting to see the benefits now
:-)
