Mike Dillard Couldn’t Hack It!!

Hit the Tweet Button Now===>

Mike Dillard single-handedly revolutionised the MLM industry.  Without Mike Dillard we would all still be hitting on our friends and family and stopping complete strangers in shopping malls to ask them to look at our business, instead of using Attraction Marketing to attract people to us.  We have alot to thank Mike for!  So it is hard to believe that Mike Dillard himself once did all the things that so many Network Marketers do in their first days in the business.

Mike Dillard got started in MLM whilst still in College.  He was shy and introverted and the thought of selling petrified him.  He was his sponsors worst nightmare, constantly calling them up, asking lots and lots of questions, but never actually taking any action.  Sounds familiar!  He spent many years getting his tools in order and studying Network Marketing; doing anything to prevent him from actually calling his leads.  He, like so many others, wasted 5 years doing that.

But he did have a dream of succeeding in the industry and didn’t want to do anything else.  However, there was a disconnect between his vision and what he would allow himself to do!

When he graduated college, he entered corporate America, taking a job in Dallas which required him to make 300 calls a day.  He took this job only to get himself over the hurdle of his dread of making calls.  By his third day he had conquered that fear, the fear that had held him back for five years.  He began to learn more and more about marketing, particularly target marketing.  He discovered that the people to target, were people who were already buying what you were selling.

Mike Dillard started calling geneology lists but realised that these were not good, targeted or qualified leads.  He began to think along the lines that if he could get five people a day to call or get in touch with him, he would succeed without all the cold-calling.  When he started studying internet marketing, be discovered the need for an effective capture page.  He then taught himself copywriting, by studying and copying any great copywriters work that he could get his hands on.  He realised that you needed to give something of value, in order for someone to give you their contact details.

He then put all this information into a training guide for his group.  His people ate it up and started putting it to use.  They then discovered Funded Proposals and realised that they had a system up and running.  Mike Dillard then made his training guide generic, so it could be made available to other MLM companies, and it was launched into the industry in 2005.  This was Magnetic Sponsoring, on which all of the attraction marketing used on the internet today is based.

Everyone, in any and all MLM business should have read this book.  If not they are missing a huge chunk of their knowledge, because it explains exactly how to become, and position yourself as, a leader.  Without this information, however long you have been in Network Marketing offline, you are not going to succeed online.

Mike Dillard is such a master of this industry, that it is hard to believe he was once in the same shoes as so many of us Network Marketers who come online to try to resurrect their MLM business!  It just goes to show that however your business is doing at the moment, there is hope, if you are prepared to put in the work.  Mike Dillard put in the work and stepped up to the mark – are you prepared to??

So if you are ready to follow in Mike Dillard’s footsteps and use Attraction Marketing in your business, the very first thing you need to do is to grab Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring book and learn how to set your business on FIRE!! Do it NOW!

Get Your MLM Rockin’ With Video Marketing!!

Hit the Tweet Button NOW!! ==>

 

Video Marketing will rock your MLM!  It is one of the best ways available to get yourself noticed using Attraction Marketing.  Because YouTube is now ranking as the third most visited site on the internet, any mlm business owner who regularly downloads videos to YouTube are well on their way to becoming recognised and remembered online.

And who wouldn’t want to rock their MLM with Video Marketing?

I know you are probably saying its scary but you just have to get over yourself!  No-one really likes seeing themselves up on a screen, but you have to remember that other people see you differently.  Just try to imagine the camera/video is your friend and have a conversation with them.  Relax and try to tell a story or  concentrate on getting your point across.  Have a written plan of what you are going to say in case your mind goes blank and try to find somewhere comfortable to stand or sit.  If you feel uncomfortable inside try going into your garden and find a nice background for your video.

Make sure once you have set up an account with YouTube that you connect with other people there.  Watch other peoples videos, and subscribe to every channel that you enjoy.  Add anyone you particularly like, or already know as a friend.  Leave comments for people and always encourage others.  You will find that many people, especially fellow MLM’ers will reciprocate and subscribe to your channel.  This alone will bring you into more and more peoples consciousness, because the sheer numbers of people using the site mean that your videos will be watched regularly.

Post videos up everyday.  Particularly if you are just starting out with Attraction Marketing.  After a couple of months of regularly posting videos and adding friends and subscribers, you will be perceived as someone who knows what they are doing with Video Marketing and will gain more viewers.

Make sure your videos give value.  You want the viewer to come away thinking that they would have paid money for the information you gave them, or that they definitely learned something from watching it.  It may be that you just made them think about something which they had forgotten, or maybe made them see something from another angle.  As long as they watch them and feel they were useful in some way, then you have succeeded in your efforts.

One good way of making a video is to share a story that you know with the viewer.  First of all it will probably make you feel more comfortable telling a story and secondly, stories inspire people and change peoples lives.  If they can relate to the story you are telling, they will feel good that something like that happened to someone else.  This may inspire them to follow in your footsteps and get on with their business.

A good way to ensure the viewer clicks through to your article or blog, or whatever you want them to click through to, is to not finish your thought!  If for instance. you were saying there are two ways to do something, tell them one, then suggest they click on the link to find out what the other one is! This way they feel psycologically that they are missing something and click on your link to find out what that is, even if they do not realise why they are doing it.

And always make sure you give a call to action at the end of your video.  A large number of people watching your video will click on a link if you advice them to.  You need to TELL them what to do next.  It could be ‘visit my website at..’ or ‘click on the link next to this video’.

10 Ways to Pump Up Your Facebook Account

1.  Make sure your profile picture is a bright and happy, head and shoulders photograph of you.  Do NOT use a photo of your product!  Marketing on the internet is all to do with ATTRACTION Marketing and nobody will be attracted to a picture of a bottle of energy drink.  Never promote your product at the front end.  You should be promoting YOURSELF! 

 2.  Make sure you fill in your profile details fully.  Anyone who is interested in you and wishes to get to know you, may lose interest quickly if you have nothing  in your profile.  Particularly important is what you have been doing, what has led you to where you are now, and any hardships you have had on the way.  Interests and hobbies are always good so anyone reading them can find some sort of connection with themselves.

 3.  Post regular updates.  If you have nothing interesting to say, many people like to read an inspirational quote. Tell people what you are doing; if you have just finished an article and put it on your blog, tell everyone.  Direct  them to your blog to read it!  The occasional funny anecdote is always well received.  If you have just done some training, let everyone know.

 4.  Add friends!  Only a few  at a time or Facebook will shut down your account, but 20 – 30 a day is absolutely fine.  Find people you want to follow by going to some of the motivational groups and fan pages and invite friends from the group.  It is better to write a little note with your invitation of how you found them, or some people will not be prepared to become your friend, particularly if they have protected their Facebook page.

 5.  Find groups that appeal to you.  There are many  different kinds of groups but if you are in MLM join whichever appeal to you.  Personal development groups are always good places to find business people.  And obviously you can even join a group which goes by its product name, such as Avon or Monavie.

 6.  Post comments on groups walls as well as other peoples walls.  Join in group discussions, or start your own topic of discussion.  Again, do not advertise your business on these walls.  Someone reading these posts will zone out immediately because person after person does exactly that.  You are marketing YOU.

 7.  Interact with people.  Some people will want to connect with you and may ask questions.  Answer them back; get into conversation with them.  They could need help and you may be able to help them.  When they begin to trust you, your business might enter into the conversation naturally or they may look further into your profile and see your links.  In the right hand side of your home page you will see when people are having a birthday and you can post birthday wishes on their wall.

 8. When you have a reasonable number  of friends, you could begin your own Facebook Group.  It may be Personal Development or you can offer help or mentoring.  Send an invitation to your friends, not more than 50 a day, asking them if they would like to join your group.  Once  they accept you can chat to them on your page, send them invitations to conference calls or webinars or just mail them helpful or inspirational information.  Whatever you    think may be of  value to them.

 9.  When you have set up your Page, do not just leave it with a dozen people in it. It will need work like anything else.  Continue to invite people, mailing messages to people and posting new topics on the wall and generally giving good value.  This will make people who join to see you as a leader rather than another marketer.

 10. Always give value.  Come from contribution.  Help people as much as you can to get what they need, and you will get what you want. Be positive always; if you have nothing of value to say, say nothing!  And dont critisise other people.  Encourage, help and suggest improvement instead.  Remember, people buy people FIRST.

But What Shall I Say……………

On Day One when I signed up with Twitter and tweeted something along the lines of ‘don’t understand what all the fuss is about’!  I never imagined it would take off as it has done!  But I persevered and now several months down the line I have put out nearly 500 tweets and have well over 2,000 following, so I must be going in the right direction.

It was never my intention to use Twitter for attraction marketing but then my first foray into internet marketing came several months later and the buzz surrounding Twitter was getting louder and louder as everyone realised its full potential.

By far the most common question someone will ask when I mention Twitter is ‘but what on earth do you say?’  The problem is that most people not currently using Twitter do not understand the value and probably never will until they set up an account and start interacting!

So what can you say?  Well to start with anything that comes into your head, but here  are a few ideas!

1      No one wants a blow-by-blow account of your every move!

2     Everyone likes to laugh so if you find something amusing, share it!

3     If you have a particular interest, share information or articles you find with people.

4     Favourite quotes always go down well.

5     If you are using Twitter for business, don’t just push your business 24/7.Try to keep to the 80/20 rule, 80% of your tweets should be entertaining, interesting or inspirational, 20% business.

6     When you read a tweet which you find interesting, RT (re-tweet) it to your followers.  (Just put out a post beginning with ‘RT @personstwittername then copy and paste the tweet, then post it)

7     Ask questions; people love to help.

8     Give value!  If you interact, RT people and generally enjoy Twitter you will give value and get lots of followers.

9     Tweet regularly. 

10   Don’t shout too much – generally capital letters mean you are shouting!

So that’s it, if you haven’t got a Twitter account sign up for one now, its lots of fun!!

Its just so Noisy out there!

I have been in Network Marketing (MLM) for six years now.  I was just like so many people out there; talking about my business to everyone that moved, hosting parties, attending meetings, phoning up everyone I knew, putting out flyers and wondering why people had started to avoid me!

Somewhere at the back of my mind I realised that I was uncomfortable but thought I just had to push through the pain barrier and I would achieve success!  I have always been an avid  internet user and particularly a ‘googler’, and attraction marketing had started to come into my conciousness.  I read bits and pieces here and there but really didnt get the concept for several months.  Then, as I read and absorbed more information, it all began to make sense!

 It was obvious to me that I would never be able to set up an attraction marketing system and start to generate leads alone.  I needed help! Eventually I found a few people who seemed to be getting somewhere and followed them for a while and started to realise I could do this (with help!)  So I  joined  MLM Lead System Pro (Only $1 for the first 14 days, bargain!!) and slowly made some headway.

The only problem was all the noise on the internet!!  I was bombarded with emails, offers, and the ‘latest new programme’ daily.  One click leads to another and suddenly you realise several hours of your life have gone missing and you are no further on with your real work!  So after a few weeks of  the noise I realised I needed to do three things if I was ever going to succeed at internet marketing!

1.  Unsubscribe to all but a couple of mentors who I found really valuable.

2.  Make a timetable of work to do everyday and follow it, without getting sidetracked by the noise!

3. Make separate folders in my inbox to keep all my mailings separate.

So there we are, the noise is still out there, but the sound is dulled; kept under control!  I am making headway and the leads are rolling in, I have lots of new friends and  i’m having fun learning so much everyday!
