So we’ve talked about how to attract prospects into your list using affiliate programs or funded proposals. Check out the post here if you want to read more about affiliate marketing for MLM

Now let’s talk about how to attract prospects to your MLM team this month!

There’s so much confusion here and so many differing opinions that business builders often get stuck because they don’t know which is best for them.

Perhaps you want to use technology and love the idea of online marketing but just don’t understand how to put it all together?

‘Attraction Marketing’ is such a buzz phrase these days but what is it really?

Some think it’s all about affiliate marketing. Others just don’t get it at all. I think in its purest form it’s exactly what it says, ‘Attraction Marketing.’ It’s as old as the bible and King Solomon was practicing it with great success!

Using affiliate programs and building your list with it is just the popular way it’s being used now. Joe Schroeder of the Million Mind March, the Cash Flow Recruiting Machine and Quick Link, likes to say he invented Attraction Marketing in the 90s.

If you were to chat with Dan Kennedy or read some of his books you’d find that he thinks he put it on the map too.

Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring fame has been a student of both Joe Schroeder and Dan Kennedy and as Mike has exploded the whole attraction marketing model for MLM there must be some truth in their claims.

However I don’t think Attraction Marketing has to be about affiliates do you? That is just a way of effectively monetizing your email list. The downside is that many people end up just selling online books and programs and DO NOT BUILD THEIR MLM RESIDUAL INCOME!

They spend hours and hours online each day promoting gurus and rambling on about how great Mike Dillard, Mike Klingler and Ann Sieg are. That’s all well and good but what about YOU and your business? They have theirs and you are promoting it!

I don’t know about you but as much as I love making some extra dollars online with affiliates I enjoy my residual income from my MLM business much more!

If you choose a good company and team and build it right you have an excellent chance of creating a long term MLM Rockstar income so that you can spend your time a few years down the line relaxing and doing whatever it is you really love to do.

I’m going for that. How about you? Sales is great for instant cash but how about building your MLM fast so you get upfront cash, as you do with some of the best new MLM compensation plans BUT at the same time you’re building your residual and passive income? Sound good to you?

Attraction Marketing is simply setting up your business and content so that people can find YOU and whatever it is you want them to find. It can work with on and offline marketing materials but here we’ll cover online.

So how do we use attraction marketing to attract prospects to actually review our MLM rather than just buy affiliate products through our links?

Today I’ll share my blueprint with you that is working for me and enabling me to enrol some amazing people into my MLM business WHO FIND ME ONLINE:

Step 1: Set up your online MLM marketing funnel FIRST. Bearing in mind that you can still use all the principles of Attraction Marketing you need a funnel that attracts prospects to sign up to receive some more info from you.

You can use a wordpress blog that talks about your MLM such as this: MLM Blog Example AND/OR

You can set up a capture page attraction marketing system for you and your team to use such as this: MLM Team Example

Please don’t copy mine! I’m sharing my real stuff with you here as I know how important it is for you but there are enough words to go round for us all to be original with our content.

With the blog you have the advantages of using the power of wordpress and you can let your team use it as a group blog to generate leads as we do. Notice how you can have the sign up box say who referred the prospect.

The other system which we use very successfully is to have a capture page and auto-responder marketing funnel which markets your MLM Team and you provide it for your MLM Team Members.

With both of these options the major benefit is that your team can be active online BEFORE or WITHOUT EVER having to figure out all the confusing stuff about how to create pages and marketing funnels.

You can create the system for your team (it’s not that complicated if you understand the basics of setting up a marketing funnel.) You can outsource it to a good web designer and copywriter.

Notice how in both options we offer something of real VALUE for the prospect to receive – in this case it’s a Cash Flow Class. It’s not a ‘join my MLM because it’s brilliant!’ I hope you can see the difference here because it is SO important for your success.

Unless someone is ready to join your MLM and is just shopping for a sponsor you must have something valuable to ATTRACT your prospect to review the MLM info.

It could be a team audio, video, e-book, short report, email training course… the options are endless really but to recruit direct to your MLM it must be about your MLM Team and your MLM Company.

It’s a more direct approach and it works great for those who are SERIOUS about creating long term residual income… not just clicking around online selling this and that.

I’m using real life examples here for you because I know that theory is no use to you. You don’t want to hear more rehashed guru copywriting about how you can recruit 20 people a month blah blah using someone’s system do you?

You want the real stuff about how and what we DO online to make it happen. Am I right?

Keep tuned into my blog if you’re interested in learning more about creating unique marketing funnels and wordpress blogs because I’ll be adding some more training about exactly HOW TO do those things very soon.

Ok next time we’ll cover Step 2 of the Blueprint of Attraction Marketing direct to your MLM. We’ll be talking about how to drive traffic to your MLM marketing funnel.

Key 4 Be a solution provider a.k.a sign them up!

This is the key that opens the vault! Being a solution provider is just that. If you gain a new subscriber to your list who makes it clear they are interested in generic business building materials help them find the best funded proposal for them and you will make one or several affiliate sales.

If they are open to looking at your MLM or contact you to request more info then direct them straight to your business info. Don’t complicate it all with the affiliates and try and explain it all at the same time. They will DROWN in information.

With affiliates, especially when you’re new to building a list, the best way I found to build relationships is to offer a free consultation.

You can offer a completely free initial consultation to find out more about them and/or you can offer a more detailed consultation when they buy an affiliate product.

This way you are monetizing your time and not wasting it with the wrong people.

You are signing them up either as an affiliate or as a new team member

In the 7 Pieces MLM Online System you can download a complete script for your step by step consultation process that can be used with any MLM.

In the next series we’ll be looking at how to build direct to your MLM with online methods WITHOUT using affiliate marketing.

Building a Relationship

This sounds so obvious but how many networkers actually do it? There is a reason that we are trained to contact our warm market or circle of influence BEFORE we venture out into the big wide world to find new people.

The reason is that we ALREADY have a relationship with our warm market so we don’t need to spend valuable time when launching our business BUILDING relationships. Makes sense right?

So when you generate MLM leads or attract prospects or just meet an interesting person in your daily life what should you?

It may be easier to cover first what you should NOT DO!

No pitching them the minute you meet them
No foaming at the mouth when they mention they are looking for something!
No rambling on and on about your life changing wonder product….

Ok I think you get the picture right?

What TO DO:

Listen to what they have to say and ask them questions AND LISTEN AGAIN to the answers

Listen some more…

Establish some common ground or build some bridges between you i.e.: you both used to live in London or New Jersey OR

You both have a new baby OR

You both just got divorced OR and the list goes on

Seek and you shall find some kind of commonality.

As we’re focussing on building MLM using affiliate marketing here let’s be specific to that. The best way to build a relationship with your affiliates is to give lots of good value with the information you provide.

That way they come to see you as someone they can trust. If they are in the right place to look for a new opportunity they will probably check out your business.

Make it easy for them to do! Don’t HIDE it like your MLM is some dirty little secret behind your affiliate marketing.

In your follow up messages integrate a little bit of information about your MLM business and working with you like I have done with my affiliate marketing system.

By the same token don’t hit them over the head with it if you want to maintain and build a large list of affiliates.

It can be as quick as that or as slow as you building a relationship for 6 months and never getting up the nerve to talk about your business. Then they come back and tell you they joined a new company. Ouch!

Top Tip: If you struggle with relationship building and talking to strangers read ‘How to make friends and influence people,’ by Dale Carnegie. I can’t say enough good things about this classic book. It’s a book to keep on your bookshelf and to keep reading again and again.

Ok so you’ve analyzed yourself and are aligned with the perfect MLM business and are ready to start attracting prospects.

It sounds a little esoteric or even mystical doesn’t it? Well let’s simplify it and look at what it really is and is not. It is the process of LEAD GENERATION.

Lead Generation is the lifeblood of building a big business and whether you do warm market networking or online list building or BOTH (recommended especially when launching) you MUST HAVE MLM LEADS!!

Doh you say. We know that Rachel. That’s why we’re trying to figure all this confusing Attraction Marketing stuff out!

Ok I hear you. Just wanted to be sure that you’re really listening!

So attraction marketing is not about being some guru leader (although there are many) It’s more about positioning your marketing content on the internet in strategic places that will attract suitable prospects to you.

When you set your marketing up right and have a compelling message it becomes scientific. If you type my name into Google at this time of writing there are 33,700 references and most of them are to me.

I think there’s an actress and maybe even a President of an orchid society too but I dominate as you can see:

Imagine all the keywords that bring up my blog and marketing pieces all over the internet. Can you see how it becomes scientific and if people search using my niche keywords they CANNOT HELP but find me! Sweet.

You can do this for your MLM Company and/or for your niche market and affiliate products. I digress though as we’ll cover Attraction Marketing direct to your MLM (without affiliate marketing in the next series)

So to summarize Key 2 you need to do ENOUGH to start being FOUND! Don’t worry you don’t need this many references to make money and generate leads. I was being found pretty much off the get go by promoting my site with ezine articles.

Add in the other millions of ways you can choose from to generate MLM leads such as blogs, using Twitter, Facebook, Hub Pages, Ezine Paid Advertising, Pay per Click etc. etc.

It is really not that complicated when you get clear on what you want to do. So Lead Generation by CREATING CONTENT and attracting prospects into YOUR MARKETING FUNNEL is the name of the game. (Not the End Game though!)

Stay tuned for Key 3 ….

So in the last blog posts we covered the basics of building the business.

Today we’re going to talk about how to build the business with affiliate marketing or funded proposals.

It’s not for everyone and that’s ok. Some people get completely distracted and overwhelmed with offering a range of products at their website or blog.

Others love to monetize the process of creating new contacts and building relationships through email and online marketing.

If you’re reading this article then the chances are that you are already using or are researching how to use affiliate marketing or a funded proposal combined with online network marketing.

If this all sounds a bit confusing then go back and read my basic posts here first: 7 Secrets of Launching MLM

So let’s say you’re fine and dandy with your warm market contact list. You’re working through it and have had a few new enrolees and customers. You’re following the training that your upline is providing and you’re EXCITED.

Then you start to look on the internet and see if there is a way for you to do some business building online. You start to opt into various marketers lists and before you know it you are MORE CONFUSED than a bee in a flower shop.

You’re hearing from Mike Dillard about the magic of Magnetic Sponsoring, Ann Sieg is emailing you about the Renegade Network Marketer (and telling you that you’re upline is basically useless) and Mike Klingler is talking about getting the technical skills you need from Renegade University or Renegade Professional!

You’re getting more and more excited about ALL THIS MONEY you are going to make but in the back of your mind you’re beginning to wonder if this was such a good idea after all! How the heck are you ever going to promote all these different things that for online affiliate marketing seem to be the ABCs?

How on earth are you ever going to find time or the focus to enrol someone in your Network Marketing business with all these other things to promote?

How are you ever going to understand all this?

How will you work with your upline in your MLM if they don’t understand this?

These are the kind of questions that I receive in my inbox and on my blackberry very often! People are so confused. The most confused of all is the new network marketer who has just ordered his pack and instead of making his candidate list and learning the basics of inviting, with his upline has instead jumped straight into Attraction Marketing with Affiliate Marketing.

I really feel for these guys. They are really up against it unless they learn the basics with a good mentor.

STOP! Let’s cover the 4 Magic Keys to building your MLM business using affiliate marketing without losing your mind, your hair and possibly even your spouse before you enrol your first team member!!

Key 1

Keep your mind on your MLM end game. Do you know what your end game is? Unless you want it to be ironically but tragically similar to the famous Samuel Beckett one-act play with just four characters, you had better get clear on it BEFORE you start building your list and trying to attract prospects to you using affiliate marketing.

Here are some questions to get you going:

Am I 100% committed to building my Network Marketing business with XYZ Company?

If yes – what are my monthly volume quotas to receive my royalty cheque?

Do I need a large customer base to qualify or can I focus mainly on recruiting?

How many hours per week have I got available to do the core fundamentals of building and maintaining my business?

Depending on which company you’re with and how you are building your business this may include things like:

Providing orientation training for new team members

Coaching and assisting them with 3 way calls and working their candidate list

Attending/Running Local Business Builder Meetings or online webinars

Attending local networking events

Following up with your prospects

Enrolling them

Plus lots more!

It’s quite a lot to do and if you only have 10-15 hours per week to work the business part-time like most people do you will need to get very clear on your daily method of operation.

If you spend your spare 2 hours trying to figure out how to install a wordpress blog you will be neglecting the very core activities that will build your cheque.

So Key 1 is to get very clear on what and how you are building your core MLM business.

If you want to use affiliate marketing as part of your overall strategy to bring prospects into your list then I recommend that you set up your OWN MARKETING FUNNEL or MLM ONLINE SYSTEM ASAP!

Don’t build someone else’s list. Build your own! Set up your marketing funnel so that your prospect becomes YOUR LEAD FIRST, not the lead of Mike Dillard, Mike Klingler or Ann Sieg. I love these guys but they have enough leads already, and plenty of money to show for their awesome efforts.

What about you? Ok so if you’re clear on wanting to use and recommend affiliate marketing products to learn how to be more effective with online marketing, and to monetize your list building whether the prospects join your MLM or NOT…

You need your own marketing funnel. You can either learn how to make one (which is very possible but takes some time and study) or you can plug into an existing one.

There are lots of Attraction Marketing Systems around on the internet. Many are completely over-hyped, over rated and will confuse the socks off you some more because you will be pitched every 3 minutes on the latest hot affiliate product.

No no no. Choose carefully because you need focus if you want to win your MLM END GAME. You also don’t want to introduce your team members to a system where they are being distracted every day by other opportunities right?

This is what happened to me when I first started to figure out how to use the internet to build my business. I was so excited BUT so distracted!

So I came up with a solution that would enable me to build my own list, generate commissions with affiliate marketing but retain my focus on building my long term residual and passive income.

You can use it too if you like. It works with any MLM – whichever one you choose. Go here for more details: MLM Online Funnel

Secret 2

Have a positive attitude of expectancy. Many new team members are absolutely fine with making a list when they see it is the normal thing to do here. What else are you going to do with them? Have them invest $2000 per month in Google adwords so they don’t have to talk to anyone they know?

They will widdle in their panties with fear, both at losing money and talking to strangers. New team members don’t really like talking to strangers.

If they won’t do a list because they are wounded MLM soldiers then they will need to take massive action with networking on or offline. This works well when done consistently over a period of time but is SLOW for launching.

By the time they have a good prospect so you can train them they have forgotten why they joined! With no list they will probably need to do paid advertising to launch so they have enough leads, which is not ideal for a new team member as you want to get them into profitability asap. not further into debt!

So Secret No.2 is about giving some leadership and expecting your new people to take action to launch their business and follow your business plan.

Secret No.3 will be coming soon! Why not leave a comment with one of your best ’secrets’ for helping your new team members to launch fast without spending a fortune on MLM leads etc.

Duplication, duplication, duplication in MLM! It can be a double edged sword…

How Can You Be Unique Online and Still Duplicate in MLM?

On the one hand you want to build a large organization of team members who know exactly what to do each day to build their business.

On the other – if you’re reading this anyway – you most likely want to use some online marketing to boost your prospecting.

It’s a tricky one and can trip up a lot of well meaning distributors. Many are inspired to make great videos and write wonderful articles but then their downline can’t seem to do the same.

Top Tip: I’ve noticed that no matter what you do the majority of your downline simply do what they want to do anyway so do not waste too much time fretting about this one!

You could have the most perfect ‘SYSTEM’ in the MLM universe and still most folks will find reasons to change it or do something different. It is the nature of team members aka people!

I hear you ask but how does that help me Rachel?

Okay here goes. I’m going to give you some concrete ways that you can use online marketing to attract more prospects and which you can help your downline with at the same time.

How’s that?

5 DUPLICATABLE Ways to Build Your MLM Team Online

1) When creating articles, videos, blog posts, tweets or any other content BE YOU. (Your best positive YOU of course!) Anyone and EVERYONE including all of your team members know how to be themselves.

This is essential in online marketing. They can’t try to pretend to be you. That being said, make sure to also work with them on posture and attitude. That way they can come across as their BEST self too.

2) Keep it simple. For online marketing you MUST, I repeat MUST have an online mlm funnel which attracts your prospects to put their details in so they join your MLM prospect list.

If your team members want to work online then either recommend they use the same MLM funnel/website as you to collect leads OR make one for your team. Yes it is that simple. One or the other.

There are no other options! Unless you call zooming around online, drowning people with information instead of attracting them into your ‘world,’ an option?

Once in your funnel you can build a relationship with them and educate them with elegance on what you have to offer.

3) Provide pre-written auto-responders (follow up email messages) for your team members. The easier the set up for them, the better. It still AMAZES me how many people over 25 haven’t a clue about anything technical online.

And then of course there is the copywriting. You can make a great website and online funnel for your team but if you can’t write compelling copy you might just as well whistle in the wind. (or go out and do some flyers..)

Pay someone to do your copy for your website and auto-responders OR recruit the skills that your business needs. You probably already have someone in your downline or upline who can write good copy. Trade skills.

4) Whatever content you create well, make it easy for your team to share it too.

Let’s say you write good articles. Write some 500 word articles and encourage your team to use them on their blogs. They can leave the author name and copyright on the bottom but they get to add their website link to collect any leads generated as a result of the article.

Other people can reprint your articles through article sharing sites so why not have your guys share them to build your team?

Have the person who creates the content put it first on their blog so they get maximum benefit on the search engines.

5) If you or someone on your team can make short videos (2 mins is long enough!) you can edit them in windows movie maker and add a team blog or website link to the video clip.

When the prospect visits the Team blog or website it can just say ‘name of person who referred you,’ as one of the fields to complete to enter the site. (see my company blog as an example if you like: MLM Team Blog)

With videos there isn’t even a duplicate content issue and everyone can write their one short paragraph to promote the video on their YouTube account or blog.

There you go – that way you can generate leads using the same blog or website. Not all of your team members are going to get to grips with having their own blogs etc.

BUT they may still want to participate in the online experience by having their webpage or shared blog link on their Twitter or Facebook page.

If you don’t teach them how to network well – the odds are they may network rather badly!

Happy Networking

p.s If you still don’t have your own MLM Online System you can set one up easily here: MLM Online System.

p.s.s Please leave your comments and any questions. That way I’ll be able to serve you better by answering some of them in future posts.

Network Marketing fascinates me. If it didn’t I probably would have quit long, long ago. There is something about it that is simply addictive.. don’t you think?

What is it exactly? It’s hard to put your finger on.

It’s one of the toughest business models out there but still we cling to this concept of greatness through building a huge network.

Last week as you may recall from my ezine, Amateurs versus Professionals I attended a company convention and also had a special European leadership session with Randy Gage prior to the event which was by special invitation only. It got me thinking…

Randy is convinced that Attraction Marketing is devil’s spawn! This came as no surprise to me, as those of you who follow him know full well that he doesn’t mince words. With Randy it is his way or the highway.

That is actually what is so attractive about him. There is no room for doubt. He has complete conviction, the cheques and the success record to back up his philosophy. That is strong leadership that brings you back to the centre line.

During the leadership session he threw out a few acidic comments about Attraction Marketing and aimed them square at me. I shifted uncomfortably but looked him straight in the eyes. We laughed about it later as I know he wants only the best for me.

I am well aware that I manifested all of this because I dreamed of working with Randy Gage and his systems years before he even got back into a Network Marketing company.

Still..anyone would think I created Attraction Marketing. I mean come on Randy.. I am not Michelle Dillard!

Randy thinks that Attraction Marketing is ‘bullshit’ and that lots of the online gurus are just mining the minors. (When you think that apparently there was more money made in the Gold Rush from the selling of shovels and levi jeans, than from the gold itself this is obviously a good business to be in!

Anyway it got me to thinking again as I so often do about this online and offline MLM puzzle or conundrum.

I have never said that online MLM is the only way to go because right from the get go I have been very aware of the advantages of building MLM with a traditional (but smart step-by-step) business plan.

Not ever doing fliers again though guys!

I’ve never begged my prospects to join or cried when they said no. (At least not in a long, long time) In previous posts I have written about much of the online nonsense that is going on as newbie network marketers try to figure out what to do, and spam our profiles.

Randy Gage and Eric Worre teach professional network marketing at its very best. Duplication and creating massive organizations that are built to last is their speciality.

Hence they have no time for the latest internet gimmicks and create an army of distributors who know exactly what to do.

Attraction Marketing and Internet Network Marketing on the other hand can get very complicated. By its very nature your people are all doing different things. This makes duplication very, very challenging. (If you didn’t read my story and why I created my own Attraction Marketing system yet, you can download my free Attraction Marketing e-book here)

I do love working online and bring in some great people this way. But you have to have a real business plan for them to get started fast with your company or team.

They then add in online marketing to the mix if they want to.

Going online straight away is awesome if you are experienced and already have a network circle to contact online. For some, especially younger people it is easy to get their heads around driving traffic to their web page. For others who barely know how to get their own domain name, it can be a very slow process.

Personally I advocate doing what you love and what makes sense for your personal circumstances. I for instance live in a very remote location and because of the internet have been able to enrol people from all over the world. Pretty exciting hey?

That being said I have some advanced internet skills and have created an excellent online marketing funnel that does a lot of the work for me.

If I lived in London I probably would do more local networking, so you see how it’s best to create your plan around your skill-set and your life as it is now. (That being said I have done so much local networking in my MLM career and I know the power of it)

I could go on. There’s so much here to elaborate on in another post but enough is enough. You guys are busy and short is better than long these days.

In closing I’m finding myself wondering how many of the Attraction Marketing gurus are really building an MLM downline?

I’ve always done the business with a mix of on and offline because the tools I have access to with my team are way too good to ignore for warm market.

There are many though who claim that they can do it all online. Network Marketing is about people and relationships so whilst I agree that A LOT can be done online with technology, I also know that meetings make money, cement relationships and build belief.

I see the transformation that happens to our team members when they attend events, especially major ones.

I do however LOVE online lead generation and for me it has always been about being able to teach people what to do to attract more prospects once they have been through their warm list.

In my experience most people are open to working their warm list if you give them realistic expectations and quality business tools to do it with.

Where it all falls down (I find) is when you have nothing else to teach them after that. It can be very challenging to meet enough NEW people to do another ‘major blast’ or create enough continued momentum and first line recruiting.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. It seems to me that the roles have been reversed.

The die-hard online network marketers (the Renegades and the Magnetics) who refuse to do any offline marketing have long accused MLM uplines such as Randy Gage and Dani Johnson, of doing one thing but teaching another.

Funded proposals and affiliate marketing are amazing and I have generated a lot of income with them but they do distract people from building their MLM cheque unless they have a systemized approach to it and really understand it.

In a strange irony it seems to me as though the shoe is now on the other foot. The MLM leaders who have built huge downlines with person to person and warm market lists are now calling out the online gurus as doing one thing and teaching another!

Are Attraction Marketers for the most part just selling online affiliate courses and losing sight of the MLM dream?

When you figure that the big players in Attraction Marketing such as Mike Dillard and Mike Klingler are no longer building the MLM model…

Ann Sieg is in MLM but has a huge business with affiliate marketing…

Jonathan Budd is a big player but again I don’t know how much of his earnings published on MLM authority sites are actually from his MLM.

Perhaps Randy Gage has a good point.

What do you think? Leave your comments on the blog. I know this is a heated subject for many so please show respect!

p.s Every name I have mentioned in this blog has been of tremendous value to me in building my business and I in no way which to discredit any of them. They all bring incredible leadership and training to Network Marketing with their own unique style.

I recently joined a Mastermind group called ‘The Million Mind March.’ Maybe you’ve heard whispers about Joe Schroeder and Diane Hochman?

They are a force to be reckoned with. They make your hair stand on end!

Joe is a legend in the home business industry and if what I’m reading is anything to go by he’s the grand-daddy of Attraction Marketing.

I’m enjoying listening to the Million Mind March Calls and became a member. So far so great! Diane Hochman is an ace, and an absolute delight to listen to.

I alternate between Tai Chi and Davina McCall work out DVDs, turn the volume down and listen to Joe Schroeder, Diane Hochman, Ali Brown, Randy Gage, Eric Worre or whoever else I’m studying.

That’s how I make time. (Big Tip: For those of you who think you have no time)

The calls and materials at the Million Mind March are all about YOU! How we all love to hear about us… That’s probably why I’m enjoying it so much.

Anyway – back to Attraction Marketing. I’m fascinated with it (you may have noticed!) so I’ve been studying some of the ‘ancient’ manuals from back in the day when Joe Schroeder inspired Mike Dillard to become ‘10 Foot Tall and Bullet Proof.’

Word has it that Mike’s Magnetic Sponsoring was inspired by Joe’s work and in a recent interview with Mike Dillard and Jerry Chen, Mike mentioned how he took Joe’s principles just as the timing was red hot and applied them to the internet. Magnetic Sponsoring was born.

Interesting stuff I can tell you. Have a listen to the Mike Dillard and Jerry Chen interview if you didn’t get round to it yet. Yes, yes, yes, be a good student.

I get so many questions about what I’m doing and how I keep up on all this Attraction Marketing stuff so I thought it would be cool to share this Million Mind March Mastermind with you in case you’re in the right place for some new brain food.

The bad news is that there is no short cut or magic pill to becoming an Attraction Marketing Rockstar, (you know that already really) but the good news is…

That you can do it – if you are prepared to study, practice and teach. Are you?

What keeps me happy and ‘on’ is feeding my mind on a daily basis. Most people never seem to do that right?

They feed their mind with television programs like ‘Big Brother,’ or read the gloomy recession newspapers each morning.

Then they whinge and moan that they’re broke and they can’t attract any leads or sign anyone up. If you’re reading this I’m sure you’re different and you are feeding your mind with some good stuff.

If you want to tune into Joe Schroeder and Diane Hochman to get a super-dose of how to become a mega attraction man or woman GIANT then go here and check out the Million Mind March.

Have a listen to Joe Schroeder. He’s unique to say the least. He might not always say what you want to hear, but then who does?

It’s not a business opportunity as such although you can make some residual income so in a way I guess it is. It’s not an MLM though, and is designed for you to invest in YOU and stop running around talking about how amazing your products are and boring people silly.

If you’re ready to invest some time and effort into you and want to learn more go grab Joe’s FREE Mechanics of Wealth Package here.

To comply with blogger regulations I must tell you that I won’t earn any money on this! The package is free (just cover shipping and handling) and is a marvellous introduction for you to dip your toe in. If you love it you’ll get the opportunity to listen to some free calls also.

Just reading Joe Schroeder’s emails is a free master-class in copywriting.

Then and only then if you want to join the Mastermind and become a Knight at the Round Table or whatever they call it (how could I resist that?) then I will earn some commission. I hope that’s okay with you, as a student of prosperity.

Either way check out the freebies and have fun. It really is all in the mind so the Million Mind March is a cool place for you to figure out what’s going on in yours!

Go here to listen to Joe and grab your free package if you like what you hear. Remember to say that Rachel Henke, defender of prosperity and happy blogger invited you over to take a look. Million Mind March

Today’s post is about building your MLM or Network Marketing list.

So you decided you would start a blog…

You decided you will write articles and/or make videos to generate MLM leads for your business?

Makes great sense right? You read all the stuff from Mike Klingler, Mike Dillard and you read my |Attraction Marketing blog and it all seems like it should be the answer to your prayers.

So why is it that you haven’t updated your blog for the last month?

Or why haven’t you posted your blog articles to 5 article databases this week?

Have you linked up your social networks so that your content is zinging and zanging, whirling and churning all over the place so you can attract wonderful like-minded followers and leverage each and every piece of content to the hilt?

If you’ve done those things then I take my hat off to you. If you do them every week then you are an incredible, outstanding human being and you are going to win big! (As long as you have a marketing funnel in place to attract your leads, of course)

It is a New Year so if you started your blog on January 1st then it is likely that you are still excited! If you started it last year or the year before, are you still blogging?

Consistency is the key. (OK I know YOU know this so don’t shout at me!) Sometimes we need to hear these things over and over again. Just knowing is not enough is it?

Doing is the magic get out of jail card.

So are you just a knower.. or a doer?

When I write my blog I have no idea who is going to read it. I send out articles and I make videos and I really do not know who is going to be attracted into my world.

BUT that is all of the excitement. Do you see that?

I have faith that every word counts and that makes all the difference.

In MLM we ‘know’ that one runner in our business can change everything for our results. So when you are blogging, making content and/or wondering whether to blog and/or write articles … remember this, my networking friend:

It only takes one person with a dynamite vision to change your world (i.e.; if it wasn’t for Bill Gates would we all be working at home on laptops?)

It only takes one person to come into your team and go for it big to make a huge difference to them and to you.

It only takes one person to read your article and to become a subscriber to your list.

That same person becomes an affiliate partner with you through your business or joins your MLM Team in a couple of weeks..or even a couple of months..or even next year?

And then that person’s time is right and they go diamond or whatever you call it in your company.

All because you got your ass into gear and added your unique voice to the online world one day.

So next time you are wondering if it’s all worth it.. or wondering why you are doing this, remember that it only takes one person to change your world by coming into your list.

So don’t be lazy, and don’t be negative and don’t be a doubter.

Be a do-er and be a person who contributes. If it is through your blog or articles or videos – all the better. It may be as simple as giving a testimonial at your MLM meeting, or inviting a new prospect along who hears someone else’s word.

Build your own list of prospects and stay in touch with them. Be smart and build up your own network.

It all counts but you just never know who’s life you are going to change with your words, and who is going to change your life by entering your world.

If you write a blog and 1 amazing person reads it, gets inspired and joins your list then it is all worth it right?

Is it worth 1 hour to write the article and post it on other sites and networks? What else can you do in 1 hour that will have residual value for your business and can sit there for years after you worked on it once?

Oh and did I remind you that it is FREE to create content? At the most you need some simple low cost tools to improve your results but you can actually start free. That still blows my mind after paying $10 per lead for years in my old business!

As you get better at creating content and promoting it more people will read, join your list and come into your world.

I’ve gotta tell you it is pretty mega when I check my inbox and find the latest emails from my subscribers giving me feedback about my content. Or someone calls me to ask for more info.

How cool is it when people leave great comments on your blog?

For that to happen you need to stick with it and believe in yourself. Write to your ideal subscriber or business partner. Don’t worry who is reading – just imagine that you are writing or talking to that one person.

OK well I’m wrapping up now. I hope I’ve inspired you a little to stay in the content game and start contributing your voice in a more consistent manner to the online world.

Top Tip: Be sure to have your attraction marketing funnel in place so you can reap the rewards of contributing content online. Otherwise it is like working with a leaky bucket, and you are not leveraging your time and energy.
