How Do I Market My MLM On The Internet

Okay I give up.  I am finally saying “Uncle”.  I won’t fight you any longer.  I am going to give you exactly what you have been asking for starting now.  What is that you ask?  It’s the Internet.

 

By far the thing I hear the most from my prospects and fellow network marketers is that they want to market using the Internet.  I can understand why everyone wants to market their MLM business using the Internet, really I do, but it can be quite a challenge to do it successfully.  By successful, I mean make more money than you spend trying to get people to buy your mlm products or to get people to join you in owning a home based business.  So, I have decided to help you do exactly what it is everyone is asking help with.

 

How Do I Market My MLM On The Internet

 

The purpose of using the Internet to market any business, whether it’s a multi level marketing business or something in direct sales doesn’t matter, is to reach as many people in the shortest amount of time possible.  Which frankly now that I write this, I am sitting here scratching my head wondering about the many people that I speak with that tell me that their MLM company says they can only market to their “warm market”.  You can’t only market to your “warm market” and market on the Internet.  The Internet is a lot of things but I wouldn’t call it “warm” in fact it’s one of the most hands-off approaches that one can take.  Anyway, I’m getting off point.

 

How Do I Get People To Find Me

 

Getting people to find you among all of the other millions of people is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to using the Internet to market your mlm products and services.  Some of the other challenges are…

 

  • Getting people to take action
  • Building a list
  • Choosing a domain name
  • Using social media
  • Getting targeted traffic
  • Creating headlines and ad copy

 

…actually this list could go on for quite a while.  Needless to say there is a lot to consider when you decide to use the Internet to market your home based business.

 

What Do I Do

 

So, by now you are probably asking me “Amy, what’s the best way for me to get started on the Internet?”  This is why I recommend starting your network marketing business using the telephone.  Frankly, there is a lot less to think about and it’s just plain easier to do.  However, if you are really set on getting on the Internet, then you should be armed with the facts about how to do it successfully. 

 

Here is what I am going to do to hopefully help you on your journey to a successful home based business.  I am going to share with you exactly what I did to get started.  I will tell you what doesn’t work and what does work, what you can expect and how to know if it is working.  I have to tell you that I am not an expert when it comes to technology, however, I do come from a family that enjoys knowing how things work.  Because I love to learn new things, I am not afraid to do something that I haven’t tried before.  If you are NOT one of those people, then you may have to find someone close to you to help you with the technical things or you may have to hire someone to do it for you. 

 

Okay, I know that I didn’t actually give you any useful information today.  Today is just a warm up on the subject of using the Internet to market your home based business.  Stay tuned because I will be sharing with you:

 

  • What should my online business be called
  • The power of a data capture page
  • How to start collecting names of people who want more information
  • The best ways to get good targeted traffic
  • How to use PayPerClick advertizing
  • How to use a blog to grow a MLM business
  • Social media and network marketing
  • …and a whole lot more.

 

Until next time, stay strong and if what you are currently doing to grow your home based business isn’t working, then cut it out and find something else that will work for YOU.  I hope to see you next Monday when I write about ”How A Name Can Increase Sales”

Growing Your MLM Business Online

Everyone wants to be able to market online. You get to reach millions of people in a short amount of time. But does it make sense to try to promote your website that came with your home based business opportunity?

What most MLM marketers are led to believe is that by having an internet presence, the MLM distributor will be tapping into internet marketing. Unfortunately, a MLM company replicated website will do very little to position YOU, and do a great deal to position THE MLM COMPANY.

In case you haven’t noticed your company’s website looks just like all of the other company websites. The only difference between YOUR website and the thousands of other websites is the very small bit of info regarding your name and contact information.

Don’t get me wrong having a MLM company website is a fabulous post-consumption tool. Once your prospect has already made a purchase, a replicated site is great for follow-up orders. However, they are terrible at getting the initial purchase. For that, you have to give your prospect a good reason to want to buy.

In network marketing, in order to create that urgency to buy (and to buy from you) you have to stand out from everyone else and you can’t do that when your site looks just like every one else’s.

To be able to succeed at your network marketing business you have to master the art and science of marketing and as a part of that art and science, you have to master ad copy. Successful network marketing is about finding the people who already want what you have and at that point, you don’t have to sell anything, you only have to give them what they already want.

Don’t worry if you can’t write compelling ad copy. I can teach you what you need to know to successfully market your network marketing product or service online.  In the mean time, save yourself some time, money, and probably some fustration as well and don’t try to promote your MLM company’s website.
