Welcome to our blog! Be sure to check out the video to the right to learn how you can get instant access to the case study on how we were able to generate 10,498 unique visitors to our site in its first 50 days using only FREE Article Marketing Strategies!

There are many ways of doing MLM lead generation. Especially, there are a lot of ways NOT to generate MLM leads and this article will hopefully help you avoiding some of the costly mistakes that can be made out there. When you put what I’m going to describe here in this article into action, you will attract more MLM leads to your business than you ever dared to dream of.

Right off the bat I want to state that MLM lead generation has nothing to do with purchasing leads. I will tell you straight away that doing this is synonym to throwing money out of the window. As you are a serious home business owner, you have to realize that you must spend you time where it’s most effective and calling up prospects that are not at all interested in what you have to offer is not the best use of your time.

You must acquire the skills needed to generate your own leads today, and there is no way around it. MLM lead generation can be separated into 2 different areas; online lead generation and offline lead generation.

Generating Leads Offline
This is the basic business building principles that has been around since the beginning of time, like sharing the opportunity with your friends and family members, throwing meetings and home parties, passing around pamphlets and flyers and business cards, and so on.

These methods work for some people, but more and more people are turning towards the second category, which is…

Generating MLM Leads Online
You can reach over 1.5 billion potential prospects online with just the press of a few buttons and there has never been a better, easier and more effective time to build a worldwide business from anywhere in the world.

There is one thing to be very aware of when thinking about being successful using online MLM lead generation, and that is that you have to learn how to become a great MARKETER in order to make it. In order to experience success doing your business online, you must develop yourself towards becoming a master marketer. And in stating this, I’m not talking about marketing your company’s replicated website or your products. What I’m speaking of is that you’ve got to learn how to market YOURSELF first as a leader in the market place, and also that you need to set-up the right marketing system for your business so that you can be as effective as possible.

Market Who? Myself?
It might come as a surprise to you, but most people are not going around hoping to become a distributor of ABC business opportunity. In fact, there are only about 5% who really do know how to market their business correctly online. The rest is just trying to push their opportunity down the throat of everyone they come in contact with. This is a very ineffective marketing method and for most people this is actually regarded as spam, and will at the very best just disappear in all the other clutter out there for your potential prospects.

Think about it. When searching online, you aren’t really looking for a business opportunity. You are looking for solution to a pain or problem you’re experiencing and when people then try to throw their “world’s best opportunities” at you – they don’t have much effect, do they? They are looking for the right leader to team up with!

As stated above, you need to brand YOURSELF in front of your prospects in a way that will get them to know, like and trust you. Share your best insights and tips with your prospects and they will start respecting you and look up to you, and more of them will convert into your main business as you are now that leader they are searching for.

You Don’t Feel Like a Leader, You Say? This Is Where a Marketing System Comes Into Play!
The last component of doing online MLM lead generation is to have the right marketing system in place. This marketing system needs to be a system that positions you as a leader in the market place, no matter what level you really are at yourself, and this is done by leveraging other people’s knowledge and experience through the system and personalize it to yourself, with for instance your personal videos and story. This marketing system must not market your main business opportunity upfont, but first of all give your prospects valuable information which at the same time brands YOU.

A good marketing system should provide all the web pages and the technology to set up your marketing funnel so that you do not have to do any coding and fancy copywriting yourself. It should do MLM lead generation and prospecting for you on autopilot by doing all the telling, selling and explaining for you while you spend your time where it’s really needed; with marketing and connecting with your most qualified prospects, which your marketing system has already sorted out for you.

The really good systems out there also has several streams of income built into them so that you are in a position to make money on selling useful information; books, cds, audios, dvds, courses, etc, to all of your leads and earn money whether people actually join you in your primary business or not. This is also not something that will take your attention away from your main business, but it will be built into the system and require no extra effort on your part. Instead, it will help you grow your business faster, as you can now put more money back into your marketing, which will make your MLM lead generation efforts explode.

So, to sum it all up, MLM lead generation can be done most effectively online as you can reach far more people this way, and when done correctly through branding yourself as a leader and using the right marketing system, your success in this industry might be a lot closer than you might think.

Network Marketing System – 4 Factors That Absolutely Must Be Present

December 5th, 2009 The Marketing Vikings No comments

When researching to find the best Network Marketing System that fits for you, there are several important factors you must look for and I have listed the 4 most important ones in this article.

There are heaps of different ones available in the market place and that doesn’t make it any easier to decide on which one to go for.

So, a network marketing system. What is it really?

This is a system you use to attract leads and new customers and marketers into your primary business.

Some people think of this system as the “system” many get told by their upline to follow, which usually consists of calling up 100 friends and family members, pass around flyers and hold home parties of some sort. But this is NOT what I’m going to talk about here. These are methods that are in fact working for a lot of different people, but this is not they way of doing it especially when it comes to marketing your business online. And with the right marketing system in place you get the freedom to choose which way you’d like to build your business as well.

The system I am talking about is one that will be your best vehicle for success in this industry. And for it to be most effective, it must have these four parts in order:

1. It Does Not Promote Your Business Upfront
The initial part of your marketing funnel, the pages that your prospects are first introduced to, should have nothing to do with your primary network marketing company. Therefore, this system must first give away free valuable content, content that the user actually finds useful so that they will be interested in knowing what more you have to offer. This is not done by just pitching a business.

2. It Must Be Customized To YOU
You see, people that are actively searching online for help and better ways to building their business are not looking for another opportunity. What people are really looking for, is the right leader that has the knowledge and skills necessary to teach them what they need to know to get to where they want to go. The system you use must therefore do the job correctly of showing your prospects that you are that person they are looking to find.

3. You Should Be Able To Use It Without Being a Marketing Guru
A great system is one where you do not need to be a technical guru to be able to use it. Building websites, handle email autoresponders, testing/tracking, and writing great sales copy for all of it is a process that would cost several thousands of dollars if you were to rent someone to do it for you. Your system should provide you with everything from the get-go and you must be able to custumize everything to brand yourself.

4. Built-In Multiple Income Streams
As your marketing funnel should be completely generic you are going to attract people into your funnel that are not going to be interested in joining you in your primary business – at least not initially. This is the way it has to be, and always will be. You network marketing system should also provide your list of prospects with the opportunity of buing products and services that will help them in their business; stuff that has nothing to do with your primary business. This will provide you with a cashflow right away, no matter how many people actually joins you in your business, so that you will be able to invest more money into building your main business.

Then, after the prospects has been provided with great value together with you being branded as the expert that are providing this information, the system should introduce your primary opportunity on the back-end as a possibility to work directly with you on your team.

Find a network marketing system which has all of the above factors in place, and you can be producing and converting leads like never before in no-time.

The 3 Vital Components of a Great Attraction Marketing System

November 28th, 2009 The Marketing Vikings No comments

When considering which attraction marketing system one should choose, you must be aware of that there are some important factors that need to be in place for it to be a great system. There are a whole lot of different systems to choose from on the market, and almost every single one of them says they’re the best on the planet so you need to do your homework in order to know which one is the best for you.

attraction marketing systemFor an attraction marketing system to have the best results for your business, there are three main pieces that need to be present.

Position Yourself As a Leader
The first component is that your attraction marketing system should not even mention your primary business to your prospects at the beginning. Instead, it should provide valuable and useful information to your prospects and brand you as the expert in the field in a non-threatening way. You will then show your potential prospect that you are someone that has the knowledge needed to take them by the hand and get them to where they want to go and you will do this freely. This separates you from everyone else out there who are just pitching their main opportunity wherever they’re able to. You will actually sponsor a lot more people this way into your main
business, because you will now gain a loyal following of people that respect you and really pays attention to what you’re saying and a certain percentage of these people will surely also follow you in your business wanting to work with you directly.

Remember, people do not join business opportunities. People join other people because they know, like and trust them.

Build Your List
The second component to a great attraction marketing system is the possibility to build your own list of prospects, and this is a piece that many systems actually miss out on. In network marketing your business IS in fact your list, and it is vital for your success that the leads you get into the system through a lot of effort and maybe money, will in fact be YOUR leads and not the system’s!

Your list of people that have opted in to receive more information from you is an asset you will have for years or even decades to come. If you build a solid relationship with that list by providing a ton of value to the people on it, it can really be a way for you to virtually print money on demand, no matter who joins you in your primary business or not.

Show Your Main Opportunity Automatically
The third and last piece that are present in the best attraction marketing systems, is that the system should present your main opportunity to your list automatically. One more time, the system does not present and pitch your business at first, but this is done a bit down your funnel after your prospects know who you are and maybe have gotten to like you and trust you. It’s important to provide and present your prospects with information about your primary business at just the right times, and this is something a great attraction marketing system should provide and do for you automatically. Done right, you will see a very great percentage of people joining you in your main business.

Furthermore, your attraction marketing system should actually sift and sort through your prospects for you and weave out the prospects that aren’t really interested in your business, so that you only spend your time as effectively as possible and just with the highest qualified ones. It should also do all the explaining and selling for you, so that you can concentrate your efforts where its most needed; in more marketing and getting more prospects into your sales funnel, and build relationships with the most qualified of them.

Internet Network Marketing – Is It The Answer?

November 27th, 2009 The Marketing Vikings No comments

A term that has gotten a lot of attention latetely is Internet Network Marketing – in others words doing network marketing over the Internet.

Is it the solution to all of your prospecting problems? Is it a cure-all?

Well, the answer to this is both yes and no.

The Internet provides tremendous possibilites when it comes to both finding new distributors and building relationship with those that are already on your team, thus increasing the retention rate.

A lot of different systems are claiming to be the one-stop shop for all of your prospecting and sponsoring needs, and that by using it you can virtually lean back in your chair and watch the leads pour into your inbox.

Sadly, some would say, this is not the case and there is more to it than that.

There are in fact some very simple basic rules that apply and that you will have to follow when wanting to experience success doing Internet Network Marketing.

1. You must develop YOURSELF

Like stated above, an Internet Network Marketing system is not something that will solve all your problems at once.

As a matter of fact, the first step you must concentrate on has nothing to do with systems or technology at all. It is instead all about who you are as a person!

Your first task is to become that type of person, that leader, that other people are attracted to and really want to follow and work with. You see, people are not really looking for a new business opportunity to throw money at online, they are looking for a leader that can show them the way to what they want to accomplish.

You might right now be thinking that “But I’m no leader yet!”. Well, I’ve got some good news for you and that is that you don’t have to. It’s all about positioning online, and when done correctly by providing great value to people you can come across as a great leader even though you have just made ten bucks online.

2. You need the right Marketing System

Even though a system can never be the be-all, you must have a great marketing system in place in order to successfully to Internet Network Marketing.

And this is probably not the marketing system that you are getting through your main business opportunity (for instance your company’s replicated website). They have a place in your marketing funnel, but not as the first thing your prospects see.

The marketing system you should lead with in your marketing is something that shows your prospects right off the bat that you are the leader they are looking for. It’s also a system that does all the prospecting for you on autopilot. For it to be the most effective it should also sift and sort through your prospects for you so that you end up with the most serious ones and you are spending your valuable time as effective as possible.

A marketing system should also provide you, and your whole team, with all the marketing training you need to become master marketers.

And the cream of the crop of marketing systems also comes with several income opportunities built into them with affiliate products and funded proposals, so that you can earn money from more than just your primary company as well. This way you can earn money off of your marketing efforts on all the people that enters you sales funnel but are not going to join you in your primary business.

Do your research and find the right marketing system for you, and once you find it you will suddenly realize that experiencing success doing Internet Network Marketing might be a lot closer than you think.

A term you can read everywhere online today is “Internet Network Marketing” which simply shows the methods for doing network marketing online.

Skinny Dipping in the Ocean..

I’m sitting here and I’m feeling, to say it straight, a bit hangover after a night out with some good friends in Drøbak yesterday.

…And yes, the evening ended with a nightly swim in the ocean but that’s not what this blog post is going to be about. :)

Drøbak is a little town right outside of Oslo here in Norway and a good friend of both me and Ole Johnny has just moved there so we celebrated that with a trip out to the “local facilities”.

As the night went on I came in touch with an outgoing and nice girl and I eventually found out that she was involved in network marketing, and she’s been quite succesful at it for many years.

She was experiencing some problems in her business now though, as the people on her team was quitting as soon as she got them in.

It was like trying to fill a leaking bucket!

Now, I’m not going to say that she was trying to prospect me there and then, but of course it crossed her mind that it was a possibility for me to be a part of her business in the future and she clearly thought about how she was going to lay that out for me.

All smart business owners are of course always on the look-out for ways to grow their business, and so was I.

But it’s a huge difference in how this woman and I are building our businesses, and I’m going to pin-point exactly what that is now. Read more…
