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

Are you looking to generate leads without spending a DIME? If yes, you must have realized that social networking is the way to go. If you are in social networking, you just can’t ignore facebook. Isn’t it?

I am into social networking and was struggling to generate leads using Facebook until I happened to listen to a training call done by Greg Davison earning 30K per month and generating around 50-100 FREE leads per day. He has been in network marketing for the past four years and like many others struggled to generate income for the first two years. He built his whole business on shoe string budget using social networks like Facebook , Youtube etc

It was great to mastermind with him and learnt a few nuggets that I have implemented in my business and am getting results I expect
1. how to systematically attract friends and easily move them to my inner circle without spamming.
2. how to wall posts on other groups and on friends walls without irking them
3. How to effectively cross pollinate with other facebook group owners
4. Also reveals his content marketing strategy and schedule that is easily duplicable

A few days later, I happened to listen to an other facebook training call by a young entrepreneur Jim Chao. Jim Chao is 23 years old and used facebook as his primary social marketing strategy along with pay per click to generate multiple five figures per month. I learnt
1. Importance of setting up the profile correct way. What to mention and not to mention in your profile.
2. How to stand up away from the noise, connect and build relationships with like minded people using videos. Always remember, It does not matter how many friends you make but how many connections you make. He teaches you a couple of video techniques that you can implement very easily and can get a mass viral exposure.
3. How to synergistically use facebook with other marketing strategies like PPC and other paid strategies. When you have converted a cold lead generated through PPC to a warm lead by developing relationship on social networks like facebook, your conversion rate would increase dramatically.

And much more.

I have implemented these strategies and am seeing a huge difference in my business. Now, I want you to learn too. Fill your name and email and learn how to market on facebook effectively for FREE.

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.

In this call, he lays down seven most effective places where you can drop these cards and get phenomenal results.

How To Position Network Marketing Business Online
Attraction Marketing Blueprint

Have You been trying to figure out how to generate CONSISTENT and INCREASING CASHFLOW in your Online MLM/ network Marketing business? Have you heard the buzz word ” ATTRACTION MARKETING”? If yes, Have you figured out how to effectively execute attraction marketing strategies to generate 50-100 Free MLM leads on a daily basis?

In this post, I want to reveal the exact attraction marketing blueprint used by leaders of the industry like Mike Dillard that you can easily implement, position yourself as a leader and dominate.

What is Marketing all about? As Far as I am concerned, marketing is all about two elements
– Traffic Generation
– Conversion

Today, with the advent of social media and web 2.0 tools, generating traffic to your website has become very easy. However, the key to make money is your conversion rate.This post will discuss the key elements that need to be in place to have a high conversion rate using Attraction Marketing strategy.

Central Hub
If you are a serious marketer ( I bet you are because you are reading this), you know that marketing is not about your company or your products anyway– it’s about you, the leader, your marketing system…and how you can use your leadership skills and your system to help others get what they want. That’s how you become successful in this industry. That’s how you’ll make boatloads of money in network marketing: by using your know-how to help solve other people’s “problems”.

Central hub could be your self hosted Blog or Web site where you share the valuable knowledge you had gained in life and business with others through your videos, pictures and stories. In Mike Dillard terms, it could be also called as Nerve center or You Inc. The traffic from all your marketing strategies like social media, PPC, classifieds etc are driven to this central web site to know more about you before introducing them to the products you endorse. Why? Its a known fact that people join you and not your business.When you position yourself as a man of immense value on your central website, people would be attracted to you and would be interested in learning more about the products you market.

Auto Responder
It is a known fact that attention span of a person visiting a web site is very short ( 2 minutes) and it is highly impossible to develop a relationship with him in such a short span of time. So, what do we do? We position ourselves in the central hub to receive information about the visitor ( name, email and phone numbers using optin forms) and develop a long term relationship with him using a simple and effective tool called autoresponder.

People like to buy and not being sold. So, always provide value through your auto responders. When the timing is right, they would buy the product from you because they have developed the relationship and trust with you through your emails. Industry leaders like Mike Dillard have generated millions using this simple tool.

Ecommerce Web Sites
I had a very poor conversion rate driving traffic directly to replicated corporate websites through my web campaigns and had lost thousands of dollars. I would highly recommend you to create capture pages/squeeze pages that has your videos , pictures and stories before the sales page of the product that you are endorsing. Why? The visitor will be able to relate to you and your experiences and might become an instant SALE.

It is a known fact that search engines like Google does not like stand alone capture pages. Again, the best way is to create the capture pages as part of your self hosted blog or website and provide visible/unvisible links to the other pages of the blog in your capture pages. This is the most efficient way to position yourself as a leader and be on the top of google page.

Affiliate Marketing
As per statistics, 95% of the lea %ds generated by an internet marketer do not join the primary business opportunity he is promoting. We hear all the time in our industry that leads are the life line in our business. What do we do with 95% of the leads who did not join our primary business?

Today, leaders in the industry either create or become an affiliate for more than 10 products that could be of value to their leads. I believe you should too indentify and associate with a minimum of 10 products, promote the value of these products through your auto responders and monetize your list.

Once you have these four critical elements in place, it is impossible for you not to have consistent and increasing cash flow each and every month and in turn have a profitable network marketing business.

Wishing you all the best and I will see you at TOP

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
