According to Alexa,Facebook is the second most popular website next to Google. I researched more and found that around 30% of the global internet users visit facebook every day. Facebook currently has 300 million users and is growing rapidly. 45 Million updates are made on facebook every day and world wide users spend around 8 billion minutes per day.

What does it mean to you as an internet marketer? It is a huge gold mine. Isn’t it? However, How are you going to position yourself uniquely and promote your business on facebook considering the huge volume of updates being posted on facebook every minute? How do you get the attention of the facebook users? The purpose of this post is to equip you with the basic facebook marketing strategies and tools that you need to successfully position as a leader and dominate.

Always remember facebook is a social network and should be primarily used for developing relationships with the fellow users and not to pitch your business. Prosperity in your facebook marketing is directly proportial to the number of solid relationships developed with fellow users.So, Lets gets started

Facebook Profile
A picture is worth thousand words. Make sure to add a picture in your profile
Fill in your past info such as schools went so that your friends can find you through search.
Fill in also your interests as it could relate you to other users on facebook
Fill in all sources through which they can communicate with you like twitter, myspace, Youtube etc
Mention your website right on the top of the profile. Any one who visits your page would view the website URL and will check it out.

Add Friends
After creating a profile, dont wait for things to happen. Go ahead and add a few friends a day every day. It is recommended that you can add upto 25-30 friends everyday. Excessive adding of friends will result in removing your page by facebook administrators.

Interact with friends through like and comment
Once you have added a few friends and see their content on your home page, start interacting with them by liking and commenting on their updates. Commenting on updates could have a viral effect. When you comment on an update, your comment will show up on the updater’s wall and is visible to all his friends. So, it pays to make intelligent comments and get traffic back to your page. Also, feel free to share videos, posts, and quotes that had a positive impact on you. Key is to interact with the friends on facebook as much as possible.

Facebook Photo Albums
Feel free to share your pictures with your friends on facebook. People would love to know more about you through pictures and videos. If you have been to a networking event and have taken pictures with the leaders and fellow networkers, do share those pictures with stories about the events and see the traffic to your website increasing

Facebook Videos
If a picture is worth thousand words, how much is a video worth? In 2009, video traffic has been growing rapidly and is here to stay. Facebook allows you to either upload videos or shoot a video instantly. More you share the videos, better it is. Do share your videos about networking events, funny incidents, achievements and any other video that could have a positive impact on others. I use the video feature of facebook in a couple of way and am seeing phenomenal results
1. Introduce myself to recently added friends. A short video describing who you are and appreciating for friendship
2. Wishing birthdays to friends using instant facebook video recording option

Facebook Groups
Group in a facebook is same as your inner circle of friends. Group positions you as a leader and displays the value you can provide to fellow networkers. Facebook users who join your group can be converted to prospects for your business by using effective attraction marketing strategies. It pays to establish a group and providing value to the members of the group through emails, invitations to an event etc. I also use groups in facebook to identify like minded people and to promote my posts.

Facebook Events
Facebook allows you to create a public event ( viewable to all members of facebook) and provides you URL that can be used to comminicate on other social networks like twitter, myspace etc. I send an event invitation via email to all the members of my group. Event feature keeps track of the users status (attending, not attending, may be) about the event. I see an increase in numbers for the event when I blast a reminder email to people who were either planning to or were not sure.

Facebook Wall posts
Evey user in facebook has a wall where he posts messages and moderates the comments made. If you are a core facebook user, I am sure that you must be posting and promoting your content on your wall. However, It pays much more to learn how to post your content effectively on wall of the users having a huge number of visitors. It can be done by providing a lot of value that could be beneficial to the users visiting the page. Facebook might disable your account if they see you spamming. So, exercise caution while using this approach.

Facebook Notes
Do you have a blog? If no, I would highly recommend you to start blogging and provide valuable content. Facebook notes is an amazing feature that lets you post your valuable content that can be made visible publicly on facebook. Also, there are applications that imports your blog content into the notes in an automated way. Isn’t that cool?

This feature would increase your blog traffic tremendously and ultimately your sales if you are using the blog as central hub/nerve center as I mentioned in my Attraction Marketing Blueprint post.

Facebook Applications
I am not a big fan of applications on facebook as I generate enough traffic using the resources mentioned above. However, there are couple of applications that I personally use

Vuyou ( Video Email Application): If you are an internet marketer and are generating leads through various marketing strategies like PPC, classifieds etc, you already might know the value of connecting with the lead. I use this FREE video email application to connect with my leads (not a facebook user) as soon as they enter in to my sales funnel.

Networked Blogs: I use this application to increase the visibility for my blog. This is a neat application which allows facebook users to subscribe to my blog and access my updates regularly.

I recently attended a training call by industry experts earning over $30000 a month and generating 50-100 FREE leads per day. I was blown away as I had never heard of the facebook attaction marketing strategies discussed in the call. I started implementing these strategies and am seeing phenomenal results in my network marketing business. Once, you have the facebook elements mentioned above in place, learn how to market on facebook effectively from these industry experts and take your network marketing business to the next level

Wishing you All the Best And See You At TOP

Attraction Marketing Blueprint

I have been in traditional network marketing for over three years before I switched to internet marketing. I have always been using visitor cards to introduce myself and to spread the word of mouth about my business. About a month ago, I happened to attend a training call by Cedrick Harris in my attraction marketing system. In this Call, Cedrick talked about his most effective offline attraction marketing strategy – Drop Cards and how to market these cards effectively along with online attraction marketing strategies.

What are Drop Cards? Drop cards are business cards that get noticed instantly. For example, What would you do if you find a $100 bill on the road? I don’t know about you but I would consider it as my lucky day and pocket it instantly. So, my point here is that our mind tends to notice dollar bills very easily.

So you got it, my friend. Cedrick talked about the enormous success he was having with the dollar bills- bigger the value of dollar bill, greater are the results. These are not actual dollar bills. They look like a dollar bill in the front with your message in the back.

I personally started marketing $100 bills using the strategies mentioned by Cedrick and have been generating 10-20 leads per week. These strategies are so darn simple and does not consume any extra time of yours. These strategies would really work well only if you have your own custom website instead of a replicated corporate website.

There are lot of companies out there specializing in drop card design and can deliver them for you cost effectively. However, as with any other attraction marketing strategy, you need to implement it right if you want your leads to chase you instead of you chasing them

How to become the hunted instead of hunter
We can distribute these cards to only certain number of people we know. Then, what do we do? As name indicates, we need to drop these cards at places to grab immediate attention. And how can we do it on a mass scale?

Now, Lets say, we got attention of the person picking up the card. How do we attract him to our website. Simple, we need to address his needs and provide a solution for the problem addressed at your website. The easiest way to make a person take action is to ask him Yes questions in the message provided on the drop card.

Please fill your name and email address below to get FREE access to this call where Cedrick Harris reveals his most effective drop cards strategies to sponsor at least twelve reps in his primary business and how you can duplicate it across your team. In this call, he lays down seven most effective places where you can drop these cards and get phenomenal results. He also provides around 10 proven converting drop card messages that can be used for any network marketing business. so, Fill your name and email address and get access to this valuable information and have a humming network marketing business.

Wishing you all the best and I will See You At TOP.

I have been in Network Marketing for more than a year now and had lost too much money buying leads before I met “Mike Dillard” and implemented Attraction Marketing Strategies taught by him in my network marketing business

If you had been following my posts, I have been stressing so much on not to market replicated corporate websites. The strategy that I am going to discuss in this post will be effective only if you have a website/capture pages discussing your stories, videos and pictures.

We all know that list building is the life line for your online Business. How are you building your list? Are you still buying leads? STOP right now and explore some quality lead generation strategies such as Email List Builders. If you are new to internet marketing and want to generate leads for your sales funnel ASAP ( while you are learning amarketing strategies like social media, PPC), email list builders is definitely the way to go. If You are an expert, use email list builders to supplement other lead generation tools that you personally use.

So, What is an Email List Builder? Email List Builders provide you a platform for a paid subscription and allows you to send an email/ solo Ad to the other members of the platform. When I got exposed to email list builders, I was wondering how is this more effective than buying leads since the email is sent to anonymous members?

I learnt from my mentors that Email List Builders provides you the tools to interact with Opportunity Buyers and not with an Opportunity Seeker. So, who are opportunity buyers? Opportunity buyers are already convinced that network marketing works and have spent money on opportunities/products that they think might offer value to them. Opportunity seekers are still not convinced about network marketing potential and are skeptical about the opportunities/products they have come across.

so, whom would you like to work with? I personally like to work with opportunity buyers. All you got to do is postion and show the value of your product/services to these opportunity buyers through your websites/capture pages for them to take action.

All List Builders are not the same. It depends on the community they had developed. Now, what are the most effective email list builders available out there? I highly recommed Viral Hosts, ViralURL and ListJoe in that order.

All three of them work similar way. I would highly recommend
Viralhosts and ViralURL as they have been delivering fantastic results for me

How do these email list builders work? They provide a lot of services such as banners, viral ad credits. etc. You can join these list builders for free and receive emails from the community members. For every email you read, you will receive a credit and would be able to send an email to the members when you earn enough credits. I definitely would not recommed this approach as it takes away lot of your valuable time and quickly fills your email box

The value lies in the upgrade provided by these email list builders. I personally would recommend you to atleast become a gold member for 197$/year. This will allow you to send an email to 3000 random members of the community for three times a week. It would barely take 30 seconds to send an email if you have an email copy written. Also, Viral URL and ViralHosts would provide you 5 banners and 5 viral Ad credits for free with this membership. I have a gold membership and generate 8-10 leads everytime I send an email. One of my mentors is so fond of these email list builders that he has taken 2 elite memberships ( email to 6000 members 3 times a week and much more benefits than gold membership.) that will enable him to send email to 12000 randomly selected members of the community three times a week. He generates at least 10 leads every time he sends an email. Isn’t that powerful?

Finally, I just wanted to say that there are no guaranteed results in marketing and the number of leads generated for your email in these email list builders depends on your email copy and your capture pages. It pays to master copy writing skills along with effective marketing strategies. I personally learnt and am still learning by following and maintaining a swipe of the email copies of industry leaders like Mike Dillard. Also, thanks to Mike Dillard’s MLM Traffic Formula,I learnt to write an effective copy and how to use them in conjunction with proven attraction marketing strategies

How To Position Network Marketing Business Online
Attraction Marketing Blueprint

How are the top internet marketers making money online consistently? They do by spending enough time and resources to BUILD their BRAND on the internet. There are number of proven strategies to build your brand and generate residual income. video marketing is the most efficient and cost effective way to build your brand as people can sense your authenticity through your emotions, voice and body language. Also, video marketing is fast becoming an essential element of your online social media marketing strategy as search engines like Google loves videos and can increase your organic search ranking tremendously. In this post, we will be discussing three core steps to dominate video marketing and to position yourself on TOP of Google Page without spending a DIME.

Keyword Research
Why do we need to do keyword research? There are thousands of videos made every day. As per statistics, 15 hours of video are uploaded every minute on Youtube. How do you position your video uniquely and attract lot of viewers? By doing extensive keyword research related to your video content even before cutting the video. some ways to identify the keywords are

1. Youtube generates maximum traffic for your videos. Use Youtube suggestion box to get an idea about the unique key words that could be used to brand yourself and your product.
2. You should definitely identify long tail key words that could uniquely position your videos and get targeted traffic. What are long tail key words. Long tail key words is a phrase containing 4-6 words that could be used by an user while searching for either a product or information. Let’s say an user is researching on a product and searches for the product on the search engine with the exact information he is looking for (” example, red Honda bike”). If your long tail key word entered matches the information entered by the user, your video would be displayed as the first entry of the search engines and BOOM, you could have an instant SALE.

It is definitely worth spending some time researching the keywords for your content. Today, there are plenty of tools available for FREE to do key word research. My Favorites are
1. SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool: comprehensive tool for researching on long tail keywords
2. Google Adwords keyword Tool: I love this tool as it provides lot of variations for your keywords including keywords that are mispelled.
3. Google Suggestion Tool : provides different permutations and combinations for the keyword phrase provided along with search volume.

Content Creation
What kind of content can you create? You can create any content based on your experience like know hows, product reviews, Key concepts learnt from a book or a video, opinions etc. Creating content is much easier than you think.

In video marketing, the irony is that search engines cannot rank your video based on the video content. Instead, they rely on the title and description based on keyword tags you specify.

Title
Short description of your video. Use title to create curiosity to the viewer. Some popular title phrases are How tos, Top Ten Reasons to, How to. Make sure the title has the main keywords that you are targeting.

Description
Place holder for describing what your video is about. Put your Web URL and your contact information right in the front to catch the viewer attention. Make sure that the description is keyword rich.

Video Content
Today attention span of a viewer is very short and average time is 2 minutes and 37 seconds. Make a short video ( 2-3 minutes) describing the gist of the content and guide them to either your web site or blog for more information.

Distribution
Key to increase visibility to your videos. Here are some of the cost effective ways to distribute your videos

Youtube: As already mentioned, Youtube is the top most video marketing traffic generator with 100 million visitors per month. You want to make sure that your content is visible to the relevant youtube users by
1. Sharing your videos with your friends and subscribers
2. Posting your video as responses to the relevant top ranked videos

and there are lot more traffic strategies to position yourself as a leader and increase the number of views for your videos. For more information, refer to the post below

Social Bookmarking and sharing: This is the easiest way to create inbound links (traffic) for your videos (good for SEO). Two best tools available are OnlyWire and Social Poster (I prefer OnlyWire). These tools post your videos to various social book marking websites such as Digg, Tumblr, Mixx, facebook, myspace etc. Look for my future posts to learn how to use social bookmarking tools.

Twitter: is the fastest growing online micro blogging community and get increased visibility by sharing your videos with your followers

So far, you have shared your videos with either people you know or with people who are following you. However, you can get increased visibility to your videos and have your video on the top of the Google page for the keyword selected using this mass video distribution tool. If you are serious about video marketing, you should have this powerful secret weapon in your arsenal and use it effectively to dominate video marketing.

Video Marketing is here to stay and is one of the main sources of lead generation for the top internet marketers. You can start generating 25-30 FREE Leads per day using these simple and effective video marketing strategies listed above. What are you waiting for? As Tony Robbins Says, Massive Action Leads To Massive Results. Start Taking action right away and reap the rewards.

Unleash Youtube Secrets

Today, I see a lot of Internet marketers promoting Traffic Geyser as a Video Marketing Secret Weapon. I do agree it is a fantastic tool for mass distribution of your videos and for ranking higher on Google search engine. However, even today, most of the video marketing traffic still comes from Youtube. Youtube is literally a gold mine and can deliver fantastic results if your videos are branded and positioned correctly.

Lets look at some of Youtube statistics
– #3 Largest Site on the Internet
– #1 Largest video site on the web
– 100 Million Visitors per Month
– 5 Billion Video Streams Every month – 40% of all videos online (Do the Math – 5 Billion / 300 million worldwide visitors = 17 streams a month per person)
– 15 Hours of video uploaded every minute

Aren’t these statistics mind boggling? Don’t you think it pays to position yourself as a leader on Youtube to drive traffic to your website and make money? Absolutely.

I happened to hear about Youtube Secret weapon through a tweet on Twitter and thought it was worth checking out considering the traffic generation potential of Youtube.

In this course, Julie Perry along with Paul Colligan discuss the effective traffic strategies for your videos on Youtube. Julie Perry is a host and writer of Boater TV and was able to generate more than 500000 views for her video episodes on Youtube alone with her techniques, stealth tactics and traffic strategies. By the way, this course only talks about traffic strategies that you can use without spending a DIME ( not pay per click)

I believed myself to be a savvy youtube user and thought would learn a trick or two from this course. But, I was humbled and this course gave me a new perspective about marketing my business on Youtube. You will be exposed to marketing techniques and strategies that you may not have heard before like

– How to Utilize Emails and Activity Feeds effectively
– How to implement Youtube Algorithm for competing with top ranked videos
– How to use Youtube Insight to tweak and rank your videos high
– What to do with Frozen view counts

And much more. Also, You can get access to the tips and stealth tactics ( being updated in her blog and are in sync with the changes made to the channels in Youtube) that Julie Perry has been using to dominate Youtube. This becomes especially critical with the channel designs being changed currently by Youtube/Google.

Remember, youtube is much more than video hosting. It is about list building, lead generation, Search engine optimization and is an essential element of your Online Social marketing strategy.
I truly believe that Youtube Secret Weapon is worth your money and would catapult you ahead in your online marketing business. Don’t be left behind. Grab your copy now and unleash secrets of Youtube.

and are concerned about the negativity that you see on the internet. I was an IBO myself in the past and can understand how you feel.

Lets look at a few facts about Amway
– operates in atleast 80 different countries
– Assets are in the range of 7-8 billion.
– Rich Devos, Founder of Amway Corporation, is in Forbes 400 list and owner of Orlando Magic
– Have tie ups with great companies like SEARS, Barnes & Noble etc
– Is a certified member of Better Business Bureau.
– Founders of Network Marketing and Free Franchise
– Been in the business for more than 50 years

Amway products are excellent and are offered at competitive prices ( I still use them). Their customer support is unbelievable. Then the question arises, why there is so much negativity?

Most of the negativity is due to the frustration of ex members of marketing organizations associated with Amway who didn’t have much success. BWW ( Britt World Wide) is the top most marketing organization of Amway and has churned out the maximum number of millionaires. I was part of BWW and consider myself blessed to be associated with top leaders in BWW even after moving on from the opportunity. BWW has excellent marketing and training support through CD’s, tapes and meetings. I religiously attended the meetings and listening to CD’s and tapes and developed the millionaire mindset I was actively marketing Amway products for three and half years without much success before I quit and became an internet/affiliate marketer.

Looking back, I feel that I would have had success in marketing Amway products if I had access to the information shared below. Based on my experience, three major challenges every IBO faces are

1. Leads :Network Marketing is a numbers game. Most IBOs are not comfortable with the process of generating leads using cold contacting techniques once they are done with their friends and family and are not exposed to many offline marketing techniques.
2. Branding: In Network Marketing, you are either a leader or nothing. One has to brand and project himself as a leader before becoming one to attract high flying eagles ( not ducks) in your business. How can one brand himself as a leader on a mass scale?
3. Cash Flow: It is very critical to have a consistent cash flow to keep your business alive and to have a high downline retention. IBO’s can generate cash flow by selling products. But there is a challenge here. We all know that people like to buy rather than being sold. People tend to buy only when the timing is right and are exposed to the information of the product consistently. How can we expose the information consistently and on a mass scale through offline methods?

I truly believe that Internet can solve the major challenges listed above using a concept called Attraction Marketing. Attraction marketing is a strategy where you brand yourself as a leader by providing valuable content and attract leads/prospects like a magnet.

As an internet marketer, I was desperately looking for a vehicle to achieve my dreams. my prayers were answered and I came across the legendary internet marketer Mike Dillard. Mike Dillard is the 8th top producer in internet marketing and literally coined the word “Attraction Marketing”. He struggled for 6 years in his network marketing business before he became a millionaire in eighteen months.

I personally learnt everything from him what it takes to be a successful network marketer. Today, I want to share with you a private 70 minute audio of Mike Dillard for FREE where he talks about how you can effectively combine offline and online network marketing strategies to have a humming network marketing business. Simply fill your name and email to get your exclusive access to the audio. As a bonus, You also get the most effective online marketing strategies that I personally use to generate leads without spending a DIME and have consistent and increasing cashflow each and every month you deserve.

Have You been struggling to find a key for tiny checks, leaking downlines, and “quick turn” attitude that has taken over MLM Business with the emergence of internet. I was and unfortunately spent thousands of dollars on unsuccessful advertising, ebooks and courses. Fortunately for me, Two crown producers in this industry took me under their wing and taught me how to Generate online wealth. Today, I want to give back and let you know that you dont have to spend thousands of dollars to run a profitable MLM business online.

Have You heard the buzz “Attraction Marketing“. I hope you understand how powerful this marketing strategy is. It took me a while to realize. When I understood, It was a new beginning for the rest of my life. In short, Attraction Marketing is a marketing tactic by which you position and brand yourself to draw the prospects like a magnet.

Today, I want to share five critical elements that you must have and implement in your corporation to brand yourself as a leader and dominate your MLM Business Online

Personalized and customizable squeeze pages and Web sites
For a long time, I was working hard to drive traffic to the corporate web site. But, the figures were not good enough. It took me a while to get the picture that people join you and not the venture. people will get attracted to you when they could relate personally and build trust with you. And there is no way you can develop relationships and trust using replicated corporate websites. You need to send the traffic to your own personal websites and capture pages that has your videos, pictures and stories. Once the prospect can relate and build trust with you, selling is just natural and easy. As I read somewhere, Sales is nothing but a transfer of belief from seller to buyer.

Build your own list
List of prospects who are willing to receive information from you on a continual basis is your biggest asset. you would understand it more when we discuss affiliate marketing. Just think about it this way, why would someone want to receive information from you? Only if they percieve you as a person of immense value. so, the milllion dollar question is, how do you project yourself as a person of value? simple – by building and sharing it.
a.Develop value
Believe yourself as a person of immense value and act accordingly. folks will feel it. Also, spend some quality time on your personal development ( increases your value) so that you can increase your emotional and mental strength to position as a leader. This is very critical. In Network Marketing, you are either a leader or nothing. The preference is yours.
b.add value
With the arrival of Web 2.0 tools like blogs, Social networking web sites like facebook, it has become very easy to connect and share value. You can also add the value to your list through email using an effective tool called auto responder

Streamlined Sales Funnel
It is a known fact in internet marketing that 95% of the leads generated do not join the primary opportunity. But there are select group of Internet marketers in this industry who are dominating and receiving fat checks every single month. How? They do affiliate marketing. Top internet marketers either set up or endorse multiple products ( more than 10) to monetize their list. I believe you should too as your list is very precious.

Duplicable Marketing And Training Platform
Lets say, your team is growing and are excited aboutmarketing your opportunity. But, they do not have marketing experience. What do you do? Would you spend time teaching various marketing strategies like facebook, twitter to your team members? you definitely do not want to as it defeats your purpose of becoming an online marketer ( have more time to travel, time with the family etc). You need to leverage on a training and marketing system that will provide training and support for marketers ranging from new bees to experts.

Natural Way to promote your opportunity
It is a known fact that people like to buy rather than being sold. people will join your opportunity only if they perceive you as a person of immense value and believe that the opportunity would be valuable to them. You need to position yourself as a leader, show value and market your opportunity naturally through auto responders. Always think like a prospect when you are writing these auto responders. For example, What is the most important reason I need this product?

Are you overwhelmed ? Initially, it was horrifying for me. Fortunately, for me, two best producers in this industry guided and taught me exactly how to produce Online Wealth. It is not that difficult to buid network marketing business online as long as some one who has already done it can show you and simplify the complex information available out there.

If You are struggling to put these elements in place in your network marketing business and generate cashflow,we can help you fix the pieces of the puzzle. Simply fill your name and email address in the form below so that we can show you the step by step game plan to implement and change in your network marketing business for generating consistent and increasing cashflow each and every month and live your life by design
