Since I have had some people come to me and say that they don’t know how to create their own blog, I wanted to show you just how easy it is.  In this video (the second in my blog series) I will show you how to create your very own Wordpress blog that you can use to promote your network marketing products or services. 

Here is the video, let me know what you think about the information:

I’m not going to tell you that using the Internet to grow your MLM business is going to be easy because it takes work, a lot of work to grow your business online.  It won’t happen overnight, actually it could take quite a long time (this usually depends on how much competition there already is on the net for your topic) before your network marketing blog even gets noticed, but once you have created your website and have worked on getting traffic to that site, growing your home based business get easier and easier.

Don’t let a little lack of “know how” keep you from using the Internet, find out how to do what you want to do and then do it.  I hope this video inspires you to go and create your own blog for your network marketing business.

Not sure if you need a blog at part of your network marketing campaign?  Check out my video to get your answer Here.

I made this short video for you explaining what a blog is, the benefits of creating a blog for your mlm business, the different types of blogs and which blogging platform you may want to use. 

This video is the first in a series that I am creating about blogging your MLM business.  In the next video, I will be showing you how to create, set up, and host your own blog to use as part of your marketing campaign.

Find out exactly what MLM marketing methods you can stop using and what you must know to increase your MLM Sales.

The first limitation is that using warm market prospecting is untargeted.  It’s untargeted because you are talking to people that didn’t request more information about your network marketing product or service.   When it comes to marketing your business that is probably one of the biggest mistakes that you can make.  Can you find customers and business builders using this method?  Yes, you can and there are some that grow a large organization using just their warm market but that is the exception not the rule. 

One fundamental rule of marketing is to target your marketing.  The more your message relates to your prospect, the more likely you are to convert that prospect into a customer.  The problem with using your warm market as your leads is that you are trying to create interest in your network marketing product (or if you do what your MLM Company preaches, in the business opportunity) instead of them already being interested to begin with.  This traditional MLM marketing method requires a lot more time and energy to get sales. 

Another problem with using the traditional marketing methods that are taught by MLM companies is the limitation of using your warm market.   How many people do you really know?  Even if you can write a list of 100 names and you got everyone on that list to give you 20 more names (which isn’t likely to happen) you only have 2000 leads to work with.   And remember these are just names and numbers of people, they aren’t people that already have an interest in your network marketing product or service so you are going to have to try to create that interest. 

It doesn’t matter what business you are in, leads are the life blood of that business.  Without leads, your business is dead.  In order to grow your business to where you are making a good living every month, you will have to make a substantial number of MLM sales.  I can almost guarantee that you will NEVER close 100% of the time. 

Let’s say that you can convert 5% of your list into customers.  (I’m assuming that you are very good at sales when I use a number like 5% because the reality is that it would be closer to 1% when you are using untargeted prospects.) At a 5% conversion rate with your 2000 names, you will have 100 MLM sales.  Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?  But this is assuming that you actually get to talk to all 2000 people on your list, NOT likely to happen.  You would actually be lucky to talk to half of those people.  (Remember that the majority of those on your list are referrals.)  Let’s go with it anyway.  50% of 2000 = 1000 and you can convert 5% of them.  That gives you 50 MLM sales.  Still sounds good doesn’t it? 

It sounds good but the reality is that you will maybe get 3 sales from your warm market.  Assuming that you can make a list of at least 100 names.  3 MLM sales does NOT a business make and what do you do when you run out of names on your list?  Do you go selling door-to-door?  I’ve done door-to-door sales before, I can tell you that you have to have a very thick skin to make sales that way.
