Using Facebook for Network Marketing

Network Marketing is about connecting with people and what better means is there to connect with people all over the world than Facebook? So why then, do so many marketers build a huge list and then never have any contact with 90% of them?

The answer is simple. They’ve never been trained in how to build relationships with people first!

People are the most valuable resource in your MLM business. They are the foundation stones of your future success. I personally know of extremely successful MLM business owners who only have a few hundred Facebook friends. You see, it’s not quantity. It’s quality that makes the difference.
I’ve made it my new year’s resolution to get to know everyone on my list. It may take a few months but it’s something I believe is important if you are serious about building a strong business.

Why? Because people join people. They don’t join companies or products!

How do you feel when you go to your mail box and find it overflowing with flyers and catalogues for all kinds of useless junk? If you’re like me most of it goes straight into the bin, so what makes you think that serious network marketers are going to join you simply because you spammed your opportunity link onto their Facebook wall?

It’s the same within network marketing group pages. Many of these have been set up to exchange information between marketers but others see it as another opportunity to SPAM their link into people’s faces, unaware that they are actually damaging their own professional image in the process. The only people that will respond to this kind of marketing are desperate opportunists and tire kickers who won’t go the distance anyway.

To attract quality people, first you have to sell yourself. Show the world why YOU are the person to help them build their own empire.
If you are struggling for success in your home based business venture and have no idea how to use Facebook to its true potential. If you are just spamming your links all over the place and wondering why you are not getting quality leads, then you are in need of some real honest MENTORING.

Are You Hiding Behind Your Computer?

Watching a few network marketing forums lately, I’ve noticed people discussing the benefits of some of the many lead generation-marketing systems that seem to be popping up all over the place. I was intrigued to see people saying how great it was not to have to call their own leads. HELLO! If you’re afraid to call your own leads then you don’t have a very bright future in MLM. Sorry to be so blunt about it but MLM is a people business and the first step to building a solid down line is to establish a relationship with your lead first in order to see if your “potential business partner” has what it takes to be successful.

I also saw a comment on a mastermind forum by a so called top earner who stated that “online marketing is nothing more than traffic plus conversion”. Nothing more???!!!! It may not be for affiliate marketers who earn their income from commissions on sign ups. For anyone wanting to build a REAL MLM BUSINESS in a REAL COMPANY selling a REAL PRODUCT that will eventually establish a REAL RESIDUAL INCOME you have to learn to use the telephone. Traffic plus conversion is just the first step.
Simply relying on a marketing system that plays a numbers game, signing up anyone and everyone in the hope that some may stick is not the way to establish relationships with people.

A true mentor will teach you, first how to recognize the different personality types and secondly how to approach each one. If you’ve never been taught how to establish personal relationships then how do you expect people to join your business? And, more importantly, stick with you.

Another Overnight Success Story!

For most people coming into the network marketing industry, over night success is just an illusion.

Every day I see anonymous people posting links anywhere and everywhere in the hope that someone will click and join their “money making opportunity” so they can earn a few bucks in commissions. It’s sad really but it’s not their fault. You see, they’ve never been trained by professional network marketers. They are simply copying the same system that 97% of other marketers are using and if you haven’t heard, 97% are not making serious money.

The reality is that it’s going to take time, in some cases quite a bit of time, as well as a whole lot of effort on your part to make it happen. Access to knowledge, marketing tools and team support are an essential requirement.

Have you ever started a job or gone into a new profession without being trained? Did you go down to your local discount store and order a kit to be a lawyer, a doctor, or an engineer? Of course not - to enter those professions, you need specialized knowledge.

What about when you started a job? Did you just walk in off the street and tell them you knew all there was to know about the job and no training would be necessary? I don't think so. According to most Fortune 500 companies, it takes 6 months of being on the job before the company starts to make any money from an employee. Did you read that closely? In 6 months!!

Now why is it that people who join a program to earn extra inc0me from home give up in less than 90 days? Could they be missing an important point in life? If just learning a job takes around 6 months to be good at it, then maybe you can start to see why things haven't worked out for you in the past.
