There’s no Attraction Marketing ezine this week! I figure you’re probably too distracted to read it and I’ve definitely been too distracted (by my kids and the snow!) to write it!

Instead I’m posting you a little message of encouragement and hope for 2010.

I’m sending you my ‘Attraction Secret!’

I’d like to thank you for being a loyal subscriber and/or blog reader with me and I hope that in some way large or small I have contributed to your Attraction Marketing studies and progress this year.

It’s exactly 1 year since I decided to embrace Attraction Marketing and started to build the business in the way I enjoy. (no matter what ‘they’ say!)

ALOT can happen in a year! Goodness me I’m relieved at how much progress I have made and how everything is becoming a lot easier for me now.

If you’re wondering what the ’secret’ is and how you can go faster in 2010 to get your head round all of this stuff I will tell you something that I hope will give you encouragement.

My secret for attracting lots of high quality prospects to me every day on auto-pilot is simply this...

I study (ALOT), I practice (even when I don’t feel like it) and I teach what I learn. (That way I learn it better and it becomes of real value in the marketplace) That is how we turn knowledge into money.

Sounds simple hey? So why are more people who desire more money not doing it?

I think one of the reasons is that they are often waiting for permission. Waiting for their upline, their wife or husband, their bank manager, even their downline.. whoever it is to say ‘ok Joe you can do that. It will work.’

It is just a form of procrastination and fear and there are NO guarantees something will work anyway, but I can tell you this.

When you move and start to believe in yourself, and you are excited about your life and your work, things start to happen for you. (And if they don’t, find a different way to approach your business)

So if you feel like this is all too much for you..

Or you think you can’t manage to figure out the techie stuff…

Or you are just frustrated cause you don’t think you’re a good writer…

Or a good promoter…

Or a good whatever!

Take heart. In 2010 we can all get better. I promise you that if you apply some of the good stuff I send your way (90% of it is what I learn from masters who have crushed it with Attraction Marketing + MLM)

You too will get better…but you must discipline yourself to study, practice and teach, as the wonderful, late Jim Rohn taught us… because this is a people business and you can’t do it on your own.

As much as I love people, I have often wished I could just get on with it on my own. Do you have that feeling sometimes when your downline don’t perform?

I think that is something alot of Networkers think along the way because although you may think your biggest challenge is learning to generate leads with your blog, you will find when your blog is up and running that actually your biggest challenge is what it has ALWAYS been.

You must learn to assemble people. You must learn to have them want to follow you.

The great news is that it has never been easier with all the free social media tools we have available these days.

BUT you must study, practice and teach so you can become more valuable and people are compelled to follow you. I have found the best way to do this is to put more of YOU in your marketing.

So my family and I would like to wish you a fantastic holiday and a prosperous 2010.

Yours in Creating Your Own Economy!

Rachel and family

p.s This time of year is a fabulous time to review your activity and results from 2009, and the major part is to make your new plan for 2010 so you are not dilly dallying around in January but are able to hit the ground running.

p.s.s Make 2010 your year that you don’t wait for permission. We no longer have to ‘ladder climb.’ We can leap these days!

p.s.s.s! If you like this little sample of my writing subscribe at the top of this blog to my weekly ‘Attraction Marketing for MLM Rockstars,’ ezine.

As we wrap up 2009 and Network Marketers all over the world review the year and contemplate and plan for the next one we find ourselves arriving back at the basics.

Whether you’re working primarily online or offline, here are a few ideas for you on how to get started with or to generate more MLM leads for 2010 using Twitter which has become a social phenomenon.

I’m not saying I invented them! I am saying they work and the bottom line for building your MLM is getting more people to take a look at it.

Whether your funnel is leading with affiliate marketing and linking into your MLM funnel on the back end or whether you are marketing your MLM directly online whichever way we look at it you need a constant supply of new quality leads.

So here are some tips for marketing with Twitter that you can implement now.

Don’t wait until 2010. That’s what regular, underachievers do – they procrastinate and get started when everyone else does.

Keep ahead of the curve and make sure you are sowing seeds and catching fish with your marketing net ready so that new prospects are flowing your way throughout December and your ready for all the New Year’s resolution people hitting the internet in search of a better way in January.

Become a Twitter Rockstar

1) Set up your profile with an interesting short bio. Inject some personality into it so that you don’t look just the same as the other 10,001 marketers who say ‘I show you how to market online blah.’ You have full permission to be creative. Social Media is about showing who you are and being transparent.

Tip: Make a big effort to show the BEST of who you are! People follow inspiring people who make them feel better in some way.

Example: I’m a fun loving home based non-guru mom who is building a mega global business in the new economy around my 3 ninja kids.

Doesn’t that sound more inviting than ‘I can show you how to generate 100 leads a day? p.s MLM stinks unless you do it my way!’

Don’t procrastinate here because you don’t have fancy graphics etc. I still don’t have fancy graphics on Twitter and have built my following over 2 accounts to 10,000 people by attracting people to follow me rather than manually adding them or using automated software.

Don’t use your twitter URL as your website! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot and hanging up the closed sign on the door! You want to have a website that invites them in so if they do happen to click on your profile to find out more about you there is a VERY good reason for them to hang out with you and fill in their details to enter your world in exchange for something of value. This could be a free report/ e-book or access to videos etc.

2) Lights/Action – Get Tweeting. What the majority of newbie online marketers do is
a) spam you (yuk – I instantly un-follow them)
b) talk about their daily activity (which can be yawningly monotonous unless they are already a rockstar)

Whilst I would rather hear about your daily activity (if it’s interesting!) than be spammed, chit chatting on twitter is not going to get you more leads unless you are already an influential person or expert with a large following.

I’m guessing if you’re reading this you want to build a business and if twitter is one of your chosen mediums then you want to make it as productive as possible.

3) Tweet at least 10-20 times per day, everyday, so people get to know you and what to expect from you.

Tweet good stuff that is RELEVANT to your target market (I have found that tweeting out random social media stuff or news is not as likely to attract people to look at what you have to offer)

A good example is to tweet out some uplifting POSITIVE business or entrepreneurial quotes. I hear some folk moaning about that but when I tweet quotes I get more re-tweets (my tweets going viral) than anything else I tweet.

Find quotes by googling quote sites. We have all the information at our fingertips so there is no excuse for being dull and boring on social media.

4) Tweet out links to your content. If you’re serious about building a business online then you need to be creating quality content. Here are a couple of options to choose from:

a) Make some simple short videos using a FLIP camera and upload them to YouTube. Give some kind of value in the video that is relevant to your business but doesn’t directly pitch them in. Online pitches with no educational value are like wearing winkle-pickers in 2009. Just so unfashionable!

Tip: Have a call to action at the end of the video to your free offer which attracts the potential follower or prospect into your world. (Your marketing MLM funnel)

b) Write an article. If you can write as well as a 12 year old you can do this. You need a beginning, middle and end. Have a point to your short article (500 words is fine) and spell check it. You can put this on your blog or submit it to a fabulous article site like ezinearticles.com.

Tip: Add in your business bio and a link to get more info about your free offer that again leads your follower into becoming a prospect or visitor in your world or MLM funnel.

Tweet out links to your educational content a couple of times a day. As you develop more content you will have more to choose from and you can post it throughout your social media sites. You are romancing your followers into finding out more about you and what you stand for.

5) Use socialoomph.com You can get a free account where you can set up an automated welcome message to your followers. You can give them an awesome free giveaway on it or just connect with them. (Opinion is divided here – I find both work well for me)

If you are time challenged and/or like to be organized you can automate some tweets such as quotes to run throughout the day whilst you are doing other stuff.

Tip: Don’t overdo it on the automated tweets. Keep it fresh and add in new tweets each day or people will quickly tire of the same old stuff. Be sure to add in some tweets throughout the day that are in real time. You can do this from your mobile phone even if you’re out working all day.

6) As long as you are engaging and giving value you can add in a couple of links to your capture page. For best results this will have some kind of free offer on it. Tweet out a compelling question or statement that will create curiosity and attract your followers to click on the link and enter your marketing funnel. Voila.

Tip: ‘We are in pre-launch with the greatest jungle juice on the planet,’ just won’t cut it anymore!

MLM Online Funnel

Hey freedom seekers!

I have an incredibly exciting video to share with you today.

As many of you know from my ezine I’ve been reviewing the new Rich Dad book ‘The Conspiracy of the Rich,’ in a series at my blog. As a result of using Attraction Marketing combined with an educational cashflow campaign to get the word out about my MLM, I actually ATTRACTED Rich Dad’s branding company to call me in the UK!

How cool and attractive is that?

Not only are the gate-keepers dead but the gurus are reaching out to their fans and helping them to promote themselves with social media tools!

I’m so excited by this because it shows just how the media is now shaped by each and every one of us. We have CONTROL over what is put out there online and we can have our say by blogging, tweeting, posting videos and plugging into the power of free social media.

In the video, Robert Kiyosaki, of Rich Dad fame answered my 3 cashflow questions as follows:

1) The ‘old machine’ seems to be broken. How critical is it in this new economy for people to stop relying on an employer to create their financial security?

2) Does your formula of ‘build a business and invest your cash profits into real estate’ still hold good today?

3) What words of encouragement can you give to the thousands of new entrepreneurs turning to Network Marketing today?

To hear the answers watch this short video with Robert Kiyosaki: (He even says my name right!)

There is an important message for Network Marketers here!

Another example of how Attraction Marketing is working for me today is that I also had Kim Kiyosaki’s assistant message me a while back to share some free tools for me to distribute at my Rich Woman group on Facebook.

If you’d like to join us over at the Rich Woman group to get regular educational updates about building passive income and financial freedom with property, information marketing and Networking please join us here: Rich Woman Cashflow Group

What can you learn from this? The buzz words are ‘giving value’ and ‘following your passion.‘ I started the Rich Woman group on Facebook way before Kim Kiyosaki came to Facebook and created her own group!

Why? Because I’m passionate and enthusiastic about sharing what I am learning to create financial and time freedom in my life. I read the Rich Woman and it seemed like a great idea to start a group. It wasn’t a chore or job. I enjoy it because I get to connect with AMAZING women with big dreams from all over the world.

What can you do with this example? How you can follow your own passion and use the power of Attraction Marketing to attract your mentors and perfect business contacts to you?

It’s worth thinking about because we are in a very special time where social media is still new enough to represent a HUGE opportunity for you to brand yourself and be one of the first.

Food for thought…

Happy Thanksgiving.

Part 3 – How Do You Become an Attraction Marketing MLM Rockstar?

With thousands of people coming online each day desperately looking for solutions in this new economy and stumbling across Network Marketing, it is ESSENTIAL that you learn how to stand out from the MLM crowd and become a more attractive YOU!

How can I achieve this I hear you cry? It’s an online MLM goldmine with an online gold rush and stampede to go with it!

What can you do for people to sit up and take notice?
How can you attract people to you so they are compelled to type your name into Google and find out more about you?

How can you become another Randy Gage, Eric Worre, Mike Dillard or Mike Klingler?

Ladies there is plenty room for us here!

How can you attract people to click on your links and check out your articles, websites and blogs?

How can you give so much value that they are compelled to enter their details into your website so they can learn more from YOU?

Ok so you got started last month and you’re not too sure what I’m talking about! That’s okay too. Wherever you are just get started. Get started today and it won’t be a moment too soon.

Here is something you can do today to become a more attractive network marketer so you can start to develop the skills and the attraction factor of an MLM Rockstar:

Get Inspired!

Never in human history has it been easier to connect with the MLM legends and Attraction Marketing Rockstars. Do you realize how easy it is NOW to tweet one of these guys or gals, or leave a comment on their blog and start connecting and learning from them for free?

Here are some of the Attraction Marketing Rockstars that I follow and let inside my head on a daily basis. To become more attractive we need to replace those voices of lack and poverty and start to re-program our minds.

Here are some suggestions of blogs and/or resources for you to plug into:

Randy Gage – THE prosperity blog

Eric Worre – MLM Video Show

Mike Dillard – Magnetic Sponsoring

Mike Klingler – Attraction Marketing Merge

Ali Brown -Marketing Genius and amazing inspiration for women

Even if you never buy a product from these guys you can learn so much about being an attractive marketer just by reading their emails and blogs.

Take your pick but start following at least one of these Attraction Marketing legends today and focus on becoming a more attractive YOU!

So much of what we talk about with online MLM is technical or tactical.

Yes we need all that but we also need inspiration and energy to think bigger than we ever have. To become an attractive online marketer we need to be able to inspire other people to greater things especially in these difficult economic times.

What would they follow us for otherwise? Whatever level you’re at just get started today to ramp it up because if there was ever a time to turn it on and really start to brand yourself online then this is it!

The best way to inspire others is to really get inspired yourself. The world is changing and we have a brand new opportunity in this new economy.

Millions of people all over the world are wondering where the security is for them and how come the ‘old machine’ is broken.

Last night I listened into a call with Joe Schroeder and he said that the majority of people are now ‘beautifully equipped to participate in a world that no longer exists!’

Talk about inspired… As Jim Rohn would say, ‘you could stay up all night and not think of that!.’

Ok enough for today. You get the picture? You see how these inspirational mentors have influenced me so that their language stays in my head. To stay challenged and inspired pick some mentors today and work on developing your unique ‘attraction factor.’

Part 2 – Attracting offline prospects to your website without using outdated methods like flyers and cold calling.

At the end of the day we have people we already know to invite to review our MLM business and/or people we don’t know (yet!)

Hopefully you are excited enough about your opportunity to feel positive about sharing it with your key contacts when you first join, and you have some good 3rd party tools and training to plug into to do this.

(3rd party tools just means a DVD, a website, an audio etc. that you can use as a first exposure to see if you have a real prospect and to avoid you having to be the message)

So let’s say you’re just getting started with building your online presence with social media but you’re also out and about, ‘living your life on purpose,’ networking.

How can you get these nice people you’re meeting at local networking events or in your day to day life to take a look at your business, without feeling pushy and salesy?

If we really believe in our MLM business then in this new economy we bear a certain responsibility to give people an opportunity to take a look at our MLM business right?

The majority of people out there in the big world are completely oblivious about ‘old school and new school MLM debate!’ They just don’t care!

What they may care about is finding a business model to plug into that they can use to change their life in this difficult time so I feel it’s important to move through this transitional period in MLM so you feel you have a complete system that works both on and offline.

Let’s look at three scenarios that we may have here:

1) Business networking events such as networking breakfasts etc.

Here people expect to exchange business cards. They come to ‘do business’ and meet new contacts. This is an ideal setting for you to meet professional people in your local area who are business minded.

Over the years I’ve attended so many of these events I’ve pretty much experienced every kind of scenario so nothing would surprise me but the usual format is either you officially pass your business cards around in a little box during the meeting, or you informally network with people and exchange cards with whom you want.

Both are great, the latter tends to be more environmentally friendly and time efficient because you’re not politely accepting cards that you have no interest in!

2) Day to day informal events

You meet an interesting person at a local event for example with your child, or pursuing a hobby of yours, and you are unsure what to do or how to build a relationship with that person although you think you’d very much enjoy working with them and they could be suitable for your business.

3) The ‘one shot’ prospect that would be ‘perfect’ for your business!

The ‘one shot’ prospect is the one you meet at the airport or the underground and will probably never see again. Ok with those guys rather than taking a deep breath and pitching them with all your buzz words, on your business (which I admit I would have done without the blink of an eye in the not too distant past) now you can simply chat about social media and see where they ‘hang out.’

How can you develop these relationships?

It’s probably best if you don’t even mention your business. (If you’re coming back from an International convention waving flags and high on life and jungle juice then you may need to physically hold yourself back!)

With all 3 of these scenarios you can now be less urgent in ‘pitching’ them because social media has opened up communication and the world for us in a dramatic way.

When you meet a great person at a local networking event or you get stuck waiting in the dentist’s surgery for ages and get chatting with a really cool person you can just talk about fun things.

There is no huge urgency which usually turns people right off. To meet someone for the first time and to start chewing their ear off about your business, and yes I know it is probably THE best one, and NEVER been done before.. But let’s face it, it’s a huge turnoff.

Ask questions and just relax into building relationships. Exchange cards if they have one and say you’ll look them up on, wherever it is they said they hang out.

Are they members of ‘Linked In?’ That’s a very formal and professional networking site where you’ll find thousands of interesting candidates.

Or they may be a lover of Facebook, or perhaps they are already into Twitter.

So doesn’t that make it easier and take the pressure off? Discuss the phenomenon of social media, discuss anything and everything that is fun and just connect up with them afterwards online.

No more heavy phone for first ‘follow up’ after the networking events. Phew.. I’m pleased about that.

So back to the main point of this article today; this is how you attract your prospects offline to your online sites. You start by inviting them to be a friend on the social media fun spots or fishing pools such as Facebook, and as a natural progression of your new friendship you’ll be able to expand on what you do as you connect up further.

They will see you are in business and if you position yourself well with an attraction marketing website and a little bio about you, and what information they can get free at your website they may very likely click on it without an invitation. That is so smooth when that happens.

If you need to formally invite them to take a look then once you’ve had a little look at there ’stuff’ online you are a lot more informed about what their interests and passions are. You know who you’re dealing with and can easily connect up with them and send them your link to check out to see if there is any interest there.

Attraction Marketing is not about being online, although that’s where it’s easiest for the majority to practice it. It’s about being a friend and having an attractive offer that encourages people to network with you and want to find out more about what you do.

Okay I’m wrapping this up now. I do hope that’s given you some enthusiasm to get social networking both on and offline and start leveraging your time with your website.

No flyers as I promised! Such a blessing for Network Marketing in the UK because it rains so often we are just not suited for flyering.

p.s this is a GREAT way for contacting your ‘chicken list!’ You know the guys that you feel you need to notify that you’re in business because in some way they could be an asset to your team, but perhaps you are intimidated by their success or position. These are usually the best prospects in your network circle so don’t ignore them through fear – just touch base with them using social media if you can’t bring yourself to call them.

p.s.s All of this works 100 x more efficiently when you have an attraction marketing website, branding you and your business and that offers a value based giveaway for people to opt in to receive information from you. If you have no customized funnel in place to build your MLM online and want to attract prospects to you, now is the time to get one!

p.s There is a huge flood of people heading towards the internet who want to do online MLM and affiliate marketing so you really can assist them and give value by guiding them with the help of the 7Pieces e-book and system. These guys are seriously confused and need your help!

Today we’ll continue on the theme of attracting corporate professionals and this huge flood of people coming online looking for a cash flow solution in this new economy.

If you haven’t caught the last couple of blogs about the ‘recession mindset’ for prosperity in MLM, and last week’s tips for attracting professionals to you online then you may want to flick back and read up so you can get the most out of today’s post.

So on to systems and tools that you can use for this very purpose. As the approach to positioning your MLM in this new economy probably needs tweaking to be more effective, so do the tools and materials that you use for introducing them to your business.

The key to online network marketing is to know your MLM niche. Now I’m not going to recommend you go and study niches for months on end and start writing letters to your ideal prospects… but you do need to have a serious think about who you want to attract!

If you try to attract everybody with your MLM online funnel you will often end up attracting nobody!

It depends how you want to play it but let’s imagine that you want to attract some of these high quality candidates from the corporate world who are now coming online in droves to figure out how the heck they can get some security into their life, now their job isn’t looking so stable.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself for starters:

What would they be looking for i.e.; what might they type into google or yahoo?

Where might they hang out online?

Which professional groups or forums may they be a member of?

What sort of interests might they have?

What sort of candidate will be a really good fit for your team?

What sort of candidate will resonate with your MLM product or service?

How can you attract their attention using the materials you have for your MLM?

Next Steps:

Do you see how you can start to connect with the people you want to connect with by putting in a bit of thought here?

The easiest niche to attract is one that you have something in common with so if you were in the corporate world many moons ago, or indeed still are, then you can imagine how these people feel.

Take a little time to explore that and when you develop online content such as a Squidoo Lens, Hub Page, Blog Post, Article or Video make sure you are talking to this ideal prospect of yours. If you know someone in real life who matches your criteria then pretend to be talking to them. (No – Actually go talk to them – what am I thinking?!)

Anyway you get the idea I guess.

As far as MLM systems and tools go it depends how you are placed with your MLM team. Some teams have great ‘third party tools’ (tools that deliver your MLM message instead of you!) but many don’t have anything that you would be proud to show to this type of prospect.

If you don’t have quality online videos and tools, you’ll probably need to develop some tools that talk to people in the voice of this economy. Get together with your team leaders and come up with a plan to create a system that will keep your team focussed on your MLM but give them the tools to be effective online with social sites like Facebook and Twitter.

As I mentioned in my 7 Pieces e-book if you don’t provide the tools for your team to get online they will find themselves in someone else’s list looking for solutions.

That’s okay if you know what’s going on and are using the system too, but in most cases you’ll have no idea where your team members are online unless you are leading them!

It doesn’t have to be that difficult. There is great training available online these days where you can learn exactly how to create fabulous and professional content geared towards whatever your want to promote.

Check out my free e-book, Attraction Marketing for MLM for more details of recommended training and resources, and/or if you want to set up your customized attraction marketing system for your MLM immediately without too much ‘geek speak’ then go here: MLM Online System

If you’ve been reading my blog for some time then you’ll know that I’m a fanatic about recommending you have an MLM funnel or MLM System where you can build your own list of prospects BUT stay focussed on your MLM so please bear that in mind when you make your plan as it will save you A LOT of time.

Affiliate marketing is great and you can make some really good money but unless your system leads into your MLM you won’t be getting anywhere fast with your MLM business!

Thank you and have a lovely weekend.

It’s an interesting question and one that puzzles and/or irritates many. I could probably write a book about it but the sun is shining and I’m going off on my holidays to Spain in a few days, so today I will share just a few of my thoughts with you on the fascinating topic of MLM leaders.

If you’ve read my e-book 7 Pieces of the Attraction Marketing Puzzle, you’ll know that I’m not ‘new school’ or ‘old school.’ I’m not against any of it, rather I am for a lot of it!

I prefer to focus on the good stuff and leave behind the stuff that doesn’t work for me. I’ve long since quit worrying who approves of what I do or what my upline, sideline or any other line think of it!

I’m having great results building a ‘You Inc’ business and the time is right in my opinion to harness the power of the internet to attract prospects to you.

Some like to do this by using social media to expand their warm market, and then when the time is right they introduce their MLM business.

Others like me focus on giving value through the use of social media and attracting or magnetically pulling prospects into their online marketing funnel.

Others try to automate the entire process which I think works for internet marketing but is a difficult road to take for internet network marketing.

Whatever way we attract prospects to look at our business the bottom line is still that we need to build relationships and get to know people. I just find it a lot more productive to do that by using some automated tools to sort out the real prospects before I invest much time into them.

So back to the question of the day about global MLM leaders and why they so often don’t promote attraction marketing, and are even quite negative about it.

Here are some of my thoughts as to why this is and it may help you to get clear on your position and the road you want to take to expand your business.

There is so much confusion brought about by many traditional leaders being anti online attraction marketing and many ‘new school’ leaders being anti everything else!

Here’s what you may want to consider before you shoot someone down for their position in the old school, new school debate.

1) MLM leaders with thousands of people in their organisations, spanning many time zones, countries and languages cannot lightly change their daily method of operation without affecting all of those people in their downline.

2) Online attraction marketing for MLM is very specialized. Many people will not have the patience or the time to apply themselves to learn how to do it effectively. I believe any one can learn how to do it because we have amazing training available these days, but the reality is that not everyone wants to sit for hours at their computer learning a whole new marketing method.

3) MLM leaders are hesitant of promoting something that they think can cost their downline a lot of time and money if they get it wrong. They often do not understand that there are a ton of ways to generate leads online that cost nothing or if you use a funded proposal such as Magnetic Sponsoring, you can actually get into profit very quickly.

4) Online MLM attraction marketing can be very distracting for those who do not work with a strong team that is focussed on their MLM business. They get online to build their MLM but if they don’t have a system they can end up jumping from one thing to the other, promoting this and that and completely losing their focus on their MLM. Why would a global MLM leader think this is a good idea?

5) Internet and training resources. The online attraction marketing model works fabulously with good training and systems for those in English speaking markets with high speed internet access.

My question to you then is ‘what about the rest?’

If you’re building MLM online and focussed on USA, UK, Canada and Australia then happy days. What if like me and many others you have team members in other countries?

I have downline in Nigeria. The guys in Nigeria have the most amazing entrepreneurial spirit. I still am yet to speak to a prospect who hasn’t read ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ by Robert Kiyosaki. It’s incredible!

These guys are building business the social, offline way. They love the idea of internet network marketing but the technology over there just does not permit them to attend webinars and access the training sites that one needs to access to understand how to build the business with attraction marketing.

Taking into consideration all of these things I fully understand why leaders in my upline such as Randy Gage and Eric Worre tread carefully with what they promote.

They and many other MLM leaders have an obligation to provide the best training and leadership to build their group in their MLM. This is quite a challenge when you have fast expanding downline in 50 countries!

It reminds me of the famous ‘butterfly effect.’ The slightest flutter of the wings can have huge implications further down the line.

Most global MLM leaders have our best interests at heart and understand that to build a huge group it is best to stick to the core principles and to keep it simple. I don’t buy into all that negative stuff about your upline not telling you this and that! They have nothing to gain by sabotaging you and most of them are doing their best.

Leaders find leaders and many of those leaders will shoot off and create their own systems that suit their style, skill-set and cultural setting.

Randy Gage has a saying about MLM duplication that goes something like this and I paraphrase, ‘a large group of people taking a few simple actions over a sustained period of time.’

Here’s your challenge! If you want to build a global MLM business that throws off passive income for the rest of your lifetime and beyond how are you going to create that type of consistency using the internet?

That’s why I created my own simple marketing system with a step by step process to build a Network Marketing business with attraction marketing, as opposed to just generating a lot of leads online.

I’m incredibly passionate about the opportunity that online attraction marketing presents us with, and if you’re ready to step up and build your business in this exciting way you can read more from me and get access to the resources I use here: Attraction Marketing Free e-book

Just bear in mind if you’re committed to building an MLM business we still need to respect other ways of building the business that work for thousands of people all over the world, and a big tip I’d like to give you is that it is essential to have an effective offline system in place also, if you want to build globally and tap into other markets.

Have a great day and I’ll try and check in from Sunny Spain!

So is it viable to be relying on your MLM business to bring you a big income in a time of recession? Are you finding it’s that little bit harder to get people over the line to sign up with you in your MLM? Or not?

I’m all for a prosperity mindset and am officially ‘not participating in the recession’ as advised by MLM legends Randy Gage, Eric Worre, and Information Marketing Queen, Ali Brown.

I do think however that to stick ones head in the sand and ignore the recession altogether when for the most part the majority of your target market is participating in the recession, could be economic suicide!

So how do we find the right balance in MLM or Network Marketing and the recession?

Here are 3 ways to earn more money in your MLM right now:

1) Join a couple of good MLM affiliate programmes or funded proposals such as Magnetic Sponsoring and/or Renegade Professional so that you can participate in something positive: the amazing growth in the Information Product industry.

I am finding that people are very willing to invest in their education as online attraction marketing is booming and Networkers both seasoned and new are realising that they need to learn about Social Media and building MLM online to even have a chance of competing in the market place.

You can brush up or get new marketing skills for attracting prospects to you online and you can pay for your education, or in my case make a handsome profit by pointing others in the direction of the best resources so they can do the same.

With one of these programs alone I can pay my mortgage. It works on auto-pilot 24/7. That is a powerful statement in a time of recession.

2) Be flexible with your MLM entry levels. Most MLMs have at least a couple of entry positions. We are all very good at offering the top one, sometimes to the point where the guys who are struggling with cash (or even just with a lack mindset!) feel that if they don’t start at the top position they are better not to start at all.

Tip: I believe this to be incorrect. Better they start on the smaller package than not start at all! Better they join a solid program and come in at a lower level than join some cheapo $30 deal that promises them that they can build a residual income.

By joining these extremely cheap deals which may be popular in recession times (if you’re one of the ones who are tempted) bear in mind that when it is cheap to join, you are not going to earn very much! You get a commission based on what they pay for their starter products, when all is said and done.

The other thing is that if there is no substantial product offered it’s unlikely to produce much of a long term residual income. If the team members are not bonded with the product and wanting to use it every month then it is clear that your business will be more of a one off quick sale type. Personally I’d rather work with affiliate programs revolving around a high quality program, than a low end, low quality MLM.

I don’t think it does the MLM industry reputation any favours either. When we sign people up for $30 or even $50 what kind of mindset or commitment are they likely to be bringing to a new business….

Anyway back to the point here! Be flexible with your entry levels and let people come in at the level that they feel comfortable at. They can always upgrade later. Don’t be too rigid with how you’ve approached your business in the past – learn to be flexible in these tricky times.

3) Offer paid coaching. You can very quickly get yourself up to speed with some valuable marketing skills if you join either of the affiliate programmes that I mentioned previously. You can get skills that are in demand and that even Diamonds in your MLM do not have.

You can charge for coaching: Renegade University and Renegade Professional in particular will teach you what you need to do and how to position yourself to do this.

You can offer attraction marketing coaching as a free bonus to those who sign up with you in your MLM.

Bottom line in times of recession you need to become as valuable as you can by improving your skill set, and offering more value to your prospects because let’s face it they may not be in such a rush to get their wallets out of their pockets, and they have an incredible selection of MLMs and MLM mentors to join. The only question is: ‘Why will they join with you?’

I hope you are having a wonderful and restful holiday season.

I have some exciting news! I just completed my new ebook called ‘7 Pieces of the Attraction Marketing Puzzle,‘ which lays out the complete attraction marketing blueprint for you.

This was written specifically with network marketers in mind who are wanting to put their business online but are perhaps confused about all the resources available, and possibly don’t have the training and support they might like from their upline.

The book explains:

• how you can create your own attraction marketing cash machine FAST
•  how to deal with issues of not having support and training from your upline on attraction marketing. (This is not a problem as long as you understand what to do)
• how to get paid for building your own list of subscribers that you truly own
• how to create your own online ‘real estate’ as a long term asset for your business
• how to attract high quality prospects to you on auto-pilot
  And much much more!

The good news is that the book is FREE and you can download it here.
