When I created my own attraction marketing system back in 2009 I was pretty unimpressed with cookie cutter systems and created my own system and marketing funnel for my team and affiliates instead.

Watch the video to find out what’s changed and how this can benefit YOU by tapping into a huge team of talent to generate leads for your home business even if you are a complete technical disaster!

When you join my MLSP team you’ll receive access to our Private Mastermind Group on Facebook and get your marketing questions answered in real time!

psssss This is a generic mastermind group & lead system for any home business.

I’ve built a great list of fabulous like minded people (like you) who read my Blogs and many of whom interact with me in the social media space.

I’ve enrolled some really cool people all over the globe whom I never would have met if I was just working locally.

Learning this skill set has also enabled me to write and market my own e-books and websites for other projects, which has long been my dream.

What I’ve also experienced in the past year since I released my 7 Pieces of the Attraction Marketing Puzzle report are lots of mixed messages from people.

Many are over the top EXCITED at the possibilities of using the internet to generate prospects for FREE! I’ve received so many cool messages from people thanking me for laying things out so clearly.

Whilst others are really p_ssed off at people like Mike Dillard and Ann Sieg.

I don’t think anyone’s very cross with Mike Klingler cause he’s just too cute and has too much heart. He’s absolutely my favourite of the Attraction Marketing gurus, even though he’s turned off MLM.

In my 1.5 year attraction marketing journey I’ve always preached ‘in school,’ as opposed to old school or new school so I haven’t experienced any backlash from my followers, although I have had multiple heated debates with Randy Gage (my upline) who is trying ever so hard to keep us on the straight and narrow! Read more here

Anyway I want to clear up a few things here for those of you that are confused and going cross eyed every night with your laptops trying to figure out what to do next!

Attraction Marketing certainly does work. It is what all successful people do in any business. They attract people to what they offer by giving VALUE.

My definition of Attraction Marketing is the art of giving value through whatever marketing methods you’re using AND

People finding your stuff and checking out what you have to offer of their own accord.

Now for the old school diehards who hate everything to do with this but who practice it authentically in their every action often without knowing, it is tricky cause they understand how hard this is to teach.

We want to keep things simple and duplicative don’t we?

Yes well I sure do. But I also want to use the internet so that I can prospect all over the world from my home in a tiny village in South East England.

So if you like the sound of this then it’s for you. If you prefer to work locally and hate spending time on your computer then it’s not!

I’m ok with that. You do what’s right for you.

Let’s do a quick Q and A on Attraction Marketing:

Q: Well Rachel does this mean I never have to speak to anyone about my MLM again.

A. Short Answer. NO! You need to work your little socks off and use both on and offline methods (hello remember the telephone?) to build a real network of real people. You must still exit your house and live your life!

Q. Can I work multiple MLMs with Attraction Marketing?

A. I think the chances of you being successful for long lasting passive income are close to zero. Sorry. I know it may look pretty and can work for SALES but not for MLM. Your guys won’t know what you’re promoting each day of the week so my best advice to you comes from the great Eric Worre of Network Marketing Pro ‘back one horse and stick with it.’ Or something like that!

Q. Does everyone need to be a super geek to use the internet to generate leads?

A. NO! All you need is some kind of simple capture page that collects prospects’ details in exchange for something VALUABLE.

Ok that’s it. There’s a ton of free info at this Blog about the fundamentals of generating leads online and turning them into subscribers and business partners.

Do me a favour and stop buying into all the hype. Take the best and leave the rest. Online is brilliant but it is just a METHOD for connecting with real people.

To build this business you need your MOUTH and keyboard to invite people to take a look, 3rd party tools (DVDs and websites) to make the presentation, and a phone, skype or your legs to follow up. It’s pretty simple when you think about it!

If this makes sense to you please share the love on the buttons below.

A Slightly Weird Note From Rachel!

Welcome back to this week’s ezine for MLM Rockstars.

If you’ve just joined my mailing list then a huge WARM WELCOME to you too. I know you have a lot of choices of who you can ‘follow’ so I thank you for choosing me!

I can never believe how quick the week passes. I’m shocked anew every week and I’m not kidding. Wow it’s Thursday again! Are you making every day count?

I’m making a conscious effort to be thankful and present in each day of my life. It must be a ’40′ thing!

Today is Day 14 of my intolerance foods detox program. (Yeh!) I’ve eliminated all the foods (approx 10 including wheat, dairy and eggs from my diet) I’ve been eliminating foods and trying to beat my allergies for a couple of years now but this is the first time I have ever cut them all out at one time as per my intolerance test advice.

Tomorrow I can start introducing my ‘forbidden foods’ one at a time to test whether I’m really intolerant or my system has just overloaded on them. (This is simple speak for how they explain it!)

Well it’s an interesting test in self-mastery. It’s amazing how you fancy an egg when you can’t have one! I’ve also cut out drinking alcohol although I’m not intolerant to grapes or anything. Just seems like a good plan in my quest for purifying my digestive system. I’m finding it to be very helpful in other areas of my life too.

Although I’m not a big drinker I now don’t even have to wonder whether to buy a bottle of Pinot on a Friday night. Simplifies life in a weird kind of way. Not saying I’m never drinking Pinot again though mind you!

On the whole I feel good. The first few days were horrendous as I experienced a classic detox and thought I might die of exhaustion! If you’ve ever done anything like this you’ll know what I mean!

For some reason all this self-examination has triggered a nostalgia in me this week so I started looking at all my old photos. Here’s my fave. Me and my first ‘internet station.’ Wow those were the days when I was one of the speediest typists at Grainville School, Jersey, Channel Isles. It’s a black and white photo by the way because it was in the paper – not because I was born in 1859!

Anyway enough of that. Let’s get down to making business more fun with social media marketing.

This week I’m continuing on the theme of Social Media Marketing and have an article for you about how to use Twitter EFFECTIVELY for MLM. I can’t count on both hands how many people have pitched me this week on Twitter without even saying hello first. Yuk.

You will NEVER enrol people like that. I know most of us were originally trained to talk to everything that moves as if it’s some kind of biblical commandment that we must observe.

‘Thou shalt not pass by ANY living being without telling them about XYZ company.’

The internet came and those days are gone. It’s still a numbers game but the game is easier to play. Smarter. More selective. You can qualify your candidates with your marketing funnel and tools and not waste time blabbing on about your company to anyone who is not suitable. (You can do the same offline with tools and I highly recommend that you do!)

Are you game? Or are you committed to being an MLM bore? See the Twitter for MLM article for the ins and outs.

Rachel Recommends – Free + Goodies for YOU

Mike Klingler

The trusty Mike Klingler is getting back in the game! If you’re not on his list get on it. He creates some of the most self empowering online marketing training that I have ever listened to.

I seriously credit my online skills and success with Attraction Marketing to him. I listened to hours and hours of his recorded click by click webinars in Renegade Professional (his baby) and would not have any clue how to create all the marketing funnels and pieces that I have done without his mentoring. He is quite simply a star.

Caution: Do not look to Renegade Professional to help you build your MLM Team. They are not your upline!
Look to them if you want to learn how to be an online LEADER and create blogs and marketing funnels for the MLM of your choice.

Anyway the great news is that Mike Klingler has created a new product and he’s predicting it will inspire a tribe of entrepreneurs in an even bigger way than Ren Pro has. If you are a Ren Pro BEFORE he launches it early May sometime you will get his new product F-REE! It will be a $1k cost otherwise.

It’s called ‘Marketing Funnel Mastery,’ and I am excited about it. Again this is advanced stuff for online entrepreneurs who want to create online real estate. For your MLM stick to the basics and add in entrepreneurial stuff as you go. If you’re not a Pro already and you have big ambitions for online marketing then I recommend you go sign up now. It’s a monthly membership but you get ALOT of value with it as long as you use it correctly. (If you sign up through my link you will have unlimited (within reason!) email access to me if you have specific questions about it as you go through your studies.) Here’s the link to upgrade and this will allow you free access to Mike’s new training as soon as it’s launched: Renegade Pro

Network Marketing Pro

If you’re not following Eric Worre on Network Marketing Pro you are missing out BIG time. He provides amazing free value with his daily videos that will show you how to ‘go Pro.’

If you are one one of those poor little orphans that call me up sometimes to say that you have no ‘support’ then this is your chance to get some. The best ‘support’ you will ever have is ‘inner support,’ and he will help you claim that. Network Marketing Pro

Eric is my upline (being Randy Gage’s sponsor and I say that with real pride.) His stuff however is all generic and you can really ‘borrow’ his credibility for yourself and your team.

Dani Johnson

Did you grab your free Dani Johnson stuff yet? I’m leaving this in here cause it’s awesome.

Using the interview rather than the pitch approach works so much better for me. Why not give it a go? Grab your free training here: Dani Johnson. (Upgrade for the script books special one time offer if you seriously need a kick start for your prospecting. There is a fabulous script for turning your everyday contacts into real prospects too)

What’s Working Now

Well I’m done some of the webinars now and read the newsletters and although i was half hoping I might be able to opt out of this (cause I’m overwhelmed with info just like you!) I found it to be an excellent training platform and have kept the ‘Silver’ level. I really don’t want to make the time for the more advanced stuff as I have more than enough webinars to attend but you may want to if you’re starting out as it’s all in one place. This is great training if you want to learn how to do Google Pay-Per-Click and other advanced marketing strategies. Warning! You NEED a marketing funnel to take advantage of this stuff.

Article of the Week
Twitter for MLM – It’s on the blog this week. This is getting toooooo long! Do you prefer to read the articles in your inbox or at the blog? Let me know!

Have fun and connect with me on Facebook. If you found this useful please share it with the buttons at the blog as I’m on a quest to make Facebook a better place to network and could use your help!

If you’re new to social media then one of the first things you need to master is commenting and interacting with other people online. Leave a comment. I know you’re reading cause I see my stats! It won’t kill ya! Will get you out there in the social media world…

Rachel’s Social Media Coaching Programs

I’m still battling the forces of fast-moving time and haven’t updated my blog with the new social media packages I’m offering. (Boo me!) There’s quite a few of you been enquiring so here’s a bit of info:

I’m offering social media + email marketing + blogging coaching packages because that’s where I excel. I find coaching you guys for MLM slightly frustrating cause let’s face it as a believer in my cause I think you’d be better off just joining my company! (I’m being really honest here!)

But as a Pro I do not say that and will not say that when we talk because we’re all entitled to back our own horse.

I do however feel I can serve you better by helping you create your entrepreneurial marketing funnels and build your lists etc.

Of course this may be for your MLM (or not) but the focus will be on bringing leads to you – not how you overcome the problems with your upline or how you get momentum with a 30 year old company. I haven’t found the answer to that so am not attempting to coach on it!

So back to coaching. Call or email me for prices and tailored packages for your needs. I only take a couple of students at a time so if you want it move now while the force is within you to take action!

Standard rate is $100 per hour (£50 which is a great rate but I am in the UK after all so can’t really make you pay dollars!) If you take a bundle you’ll get some discount.

You can pay through paypal so email me for a 15 minute f-ree start up consultation and we can take it from there if we’re a fit.

That’s it! No more super cheapo deals as I just don’t have the time.

p.s I have to tell you that i may well make money as an affiliate when I recommend products or services to you. Please rest assured that I will NEVER recommend anything unless I feel it it has really benefited me and can provide great value to you too! Making money from affiliate products enables me the time to provide lots of high quality free content for my readers.

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 Example

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.

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 or internet training. 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.

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 challenging.

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 can 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.

Whatever you may think there’s no doubt that most people now want to generate leads for their MLM online so if you want to go that route it’s important to get some great training and have a solid system in place.

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.

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.

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!

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 Social Media Marketing combined with an educational cashflow campaign to get the word out about my Home Business services, 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 Social Media 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 Social Media 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.

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.’

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!
