Welcome to the 21st Century… and all the perqs that come with it. Not only have we had advances in crop engineering, medicine, transportation, and much else, there are even new ways to market your MLM product or service and gather together your downline.
Think I’m full of hot air? Nope! How are you getting the word out?
Of course there’s word of mouth. That always has been and probably always will be a great way to spread any kind of news… or advertising. When Jon Dough tell his friend Ed Green that he’s found a great new product that’s worth using, or a great new line of products that’s worth representing, and Ed ought to try it, that’s word of mouth, and it’s powerful.
There’s networking. That includes everything from going to business networking events and passing out business cards to as many people as possible to calling, writing, or emailing all your friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, fellow club members, and anyone else you can think of and spreading the news to them.
There’s traditional advertising. For MLM-ers, that mostly means classified ads in the newspaper, but it can also encompass flyers to hand out or post, ads in such inexpensive venues as souvenir programs from your child’s school’s fund-raising events, or your Homeowners’ Association newsletter, and even radio advertising.
Ah, but then there are all the 21st-century methods.
First on the list is the venerable CraigsList, along with its many less-successful imitators.
Then there are the social media: FaceBook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the others of that ilk, where you can “friend” people and tell them what you’re doing these days (selling a great new product line and looking for people to get in under you), “tweet” about the large check you just received (or the way your product resolved a problem for you, whether it was getting impossible stains out of your fave shirt or providing you with all the legal advice you needed for a flat fee when you ran into a tricky little problem).
There are other aspects of the web you can utlize too: a website, of course, and posting articles or blogs, with SEO keywords to draw people to your site. And of course spamming, if you want to go that route.
The possibilities are diversified and powerful. Welcome to the 21st Century.

Two diametrically opposite but common mistakes in the MLM world are pitching to your friends and not pitching to your friends.
Huh??
Sounds like I contradicted myself, doesn’t it? I’d better clarify.
“Jon” is a new MLM marketer. He is wary of alienating his friends. He fears they might not be receptive to his pitch for either getting onboard as a rep in his downline or buying the product itself. Therefore he avoids selling to his friends or recruiting them to sell under him. “I don’t wanna be a pest,” he explains. “I don’t want to lose their friendship.”
“Delores” is also a new MLM marketer. She has wholeheartedly thrown herself into her new endeavor and has been talking to all her friends, family members, neighbors, fellow church members, and fellow club members about her new product, trying to get them to buy, to join her downline, and to spread the word to their friends who might be interested in either buying or joining.
Jon, in his concern that he might turn his friends off, hasn’t even told most of them what his new venture is. Since few of them know, they don’t even have the option of approaching Jon and asking him, “Tell me more about the product,” or “Tell me more about the sales opportunities.” Not only has he failed to capitalize on one of his greatest assets — his contacts — but he hasn’t even made it possible for them to come to him.
Delores, in her zeal, has done exactly what Jon was afraid to do. She has gone overboard, “talking up” the product and the money-making opportunity endlessly, till her friends and others in her circle have begun to avoid her. Even when they tell her they’re not interested, she persists in her pursuit.
The best course of action lies somewhere in between. By all means tell all your friends, relatives, neighbors, and other contacts of your new endeavor. If they seem at all interested in either the product or the business opportunity, talk it up. If you’re not sure, ask them, “Would you like to know more about ___?” And if they seem unsure and you’re reluctant to push them, leave them with the thought and return to the subject at a later date: “Have you given any thought to what I told you about ____?”
Don’t antagonize your friends. But don’t shun a valuable resource, either.

The tales of entrepreneurs earning huge profits from their multilevel marketing ventures certainly draw people’s attention. They may look at those making solid profits and hope to get a cut out of such profits. Considering how huge the world of network marketing is, there are certainly many opportunities for people to join the MLM bandwagon.
The one ‘problem’ some may be experiencing is that there are scores of different MLM ventures out there. While this is most definitely a good thing, the issue some may be facing is which type of MLM opportunity should they sign on with? Honestly, it is better to have too much choice than too few. But, it is also necessary to make the right selection of which venture to sign on with. For those wondering how to approach the world of network marketing, here are a few basic tips:
You need to pick the right MLM venture based on your own skills. Someone with knowledge of health and wellness, for example, would be best served looking towards MLM opportunities involving nutritional supplements or other health related ventures. Seriously, the odds are greater you will succeed with something you are familiar with as opposed to something you are not.
This brings us to our next point: even if a MLM program is known for being profitable and popular, if you are not the proper fit for it, you might not achieve the same success others have. Again, you need to properly match your skills with the right MLM company or else success may prove elusive.
Is there significant startup costs involved with the MLM venture? Honestly, this may not be a bad thing provided the venture has the potential to be successful. But, if you feel you might have difficulty overcoming the start up costs, the venture may be one you might wish to skip.
Ultimately, the key to success of a MLM venture is the network that comprises it. And part of that network is…YOU! That is why you need to promote your own interests which means you need to join with the right ventures. This will enhance the odds of success to a much better degree.

This is the hot thing right now, Mastermind
Groups. Heck I’m in two. But what’s the purpose
and how do they work?
talked about this in his famous book Think.And Grow Rich (if you haven’t read this book, don’t read further, ha ha) The real power in a mastermind group is the synergy of minds. Like when you put batteries together they get more powerful. The mind works sort of like that. There is an energy connection , also two heads are better then one. Each member keeps each other on task or accountable. This has a lot of power, its hard not to do something when others hold you accountable. Small groups can lead to large accomplishments Jesus started with twelve and spread worldwide. So I would recommend you join a mastermind group. Feel the power!
P..s online mastermind group on facebook

Marketing is usually confused with advertising. Whereas it is only one part of a continuous process. Yes, marketing is a continuous process. As long as we are able to keep our presence alive, chances to beat the competition are bright. But in case, we choose to take a nap after good sales, the chances are it might turn into a forced, unrealised, overstreched nap.
If the product is commodity related, it will have other similar products in the market leaving very little space for cosmetic maneuvering, to emphasize our product’s superiority. In such a scenario we will need to be in the news keeping our brand awareness on high to maintain an upper edge. Our consumers should be able to recognize and relate to the brand’s logo or slogan with ease. The more they see it, the more they remember. Not that the brand awareness is not sufficient, it still needs firm backing by appropriate brand equity. The added value of the commodity must be spelled out through aggressive marketing campaigns.
Its difficult to maintain top brand awareness without including non-physical value-added character. Our logo needs to be a popular household name. Core competencies are the heart of a business that pump life in it. The company must utilize its strategic benefits based on its knowledge base and technical capacities. A business that is not based on fundamental, firm, pooled know how and produces imitable product is set for failure.
It pays off in the end to keep track of not only what we do but also of what others do. Knowledge of what others say about us, enables us to effectively deal with brand awareness programs of our competitors. Generally speaking all marketing experts agree on the rule of four “P”s of marketing. Which are “Product, Place, Price and Promotion” [Investopedia].
A sound marketing campaign maintains fine balance between these four Ps.
(1) The Product should not be replicable,
(2) The choice of place and timming require serious strategic planning,
(3) It should never be over priced, neither sold on price,….and
(4) Promotion includes small gestures like sending out thank-you letters and returning calls straight away. Even having coffee with a previous client is considered part of promoting your brand.
Be mindful of the above mentioned points and your marketing should have no problems. However, it pays to take professional help.

There are a lot of people who are unemployed these days. Yet, there are a legal lot of money-making opportunities available. They do not even have to look hard because there are a lot of MLMs that present themselves with an offer that give one a job where one can earn his own upkeep.
Take the Herbalife Company, for example. This company propagates through MLM. This company basically sells health products that range from weight loss products to nutrition supplements. However, in order to sell their product, they rely on people to spread the word about them through MLM. As a person who is starting out in doing business with them, a capital to invest is needed. You need money to purchase a starter kit from them. The kit includes a guide on their products and several items in their line that you can sell. You earn commission on the product that you are able to sell. If your stock gets sold out, you can go back to them and purchase another stock again. If the business goes well, you can invite people to work with you, and you even get an incentive for bringing more people in the business.
The concept seems easy to understand. However, the part where you have to sell the product is a challenge. There are a lot of competitions out there. They say that you can start by selling the products to your friends, and it will snowball. However, peddling among your acquaintances can only do so much. It takes a lot of effort, and it is physically exhausting. A lot of people often give up before they even make their first sale. Some do not even make it to the breakeven point. The result is they lose the money they invested, and they are left with the product, they are unable to sell. People immediately point out that MLM is a scam. The fact here is that they did not practice effective marketing strategies. Going door-to-door may work out for girl scouts in selling their cookies, but in the world of MLM, thinking outside the box is very important in marketing your product. Your marketing strategy will help keep your business rolling.
