I am so pumped! A few hours ago, I just finished listening to
a cd by Robert Blackman about using low-cost postcards to build
your downline. Of course, Robert was talking about an mlm
downline but the technique can be used to promote any activity. In
fact, my brain was moving a mile a minute the whole time I was
listening to him and I figured out a way to adapt his technique
for my personal downline team.

That’s why I’m so excited for you today. Here’s what I just learned.
There’s a secret website where you can get 100 postcards mailed
for just $33 bucks! Generally speaking, you will recruit 1 new
distributor per 100 postcards mailed. Don’t expect the numbers
to work out perfectly every month. Just stay consistent.

To fully appreciate this concept, you need to know the lifetime value of your
downline members. On average, most distributors stay in their
program for 36 months. So if their autoship is $100 per month and you
earn 15% commission you will make $15 their first month. Multiply $15 by 36
months and you get $540. Subtract $33 from $540 and you get $507. Thus,
each new signup is worth $507.

The technique works like this. You design a postcard that gives
away a free report, ebook, or video. You list your website, toll-
free number and return address on the postcard. When your prospects
visit your website, they are asked for their name, address, email
address and phone number. Next, your prospects check yes or no to
2 questions: Are you currently involved in an mlm?
Have you made any money yet? Question no. 3 is: What is your
biggest marketing problem?

When Robert tried this technique with his mlm business, he got a
1% response rate per 100 postcards mailed. In other words, 1 person
signed up on his team every time he mailed 100 postcards. What he
did was ask 10 people on his team to mail 100 postcards so out of
1000 postcards, he got 10 new people on his team.

Now let’s apply that to your mlm. What if YOU mailed out 1,000 postcards
this month giving away my free downline building report and got 10 people
to sign up under you? Let’s do the math using the commission from my mlm.
$138 x 10 people = $1380 directly deposited into your bank account. Could
you use that $1380 to pay your rent or mortgage this month? Maybe pay
down debt like credit cards or pay a car note?

You always want to mail out one extra postcard to yourself so
you know when your prospects receive theirs. When you get your
postcard in the mail, call your prospects and ask them if they
received your postcard. If they ask which one, tell them “The one
that gave away a free report on building your downline with cheap postcards.”
Ask them if they downloaded their free report. If no one answers when you call,
leave them a voice mail message telling them the same thing.

Finally, send them a follow up email with the following subject
line: We Just Talked On The Phone (if you talked to them) or
I Just Left You A Voicemail (if you left them a voicemail)

So the technique is as follows:
Mail a postcard
Call to ask if they received it and read the report
Email directing them back to website to get the report
* You can even use audio postcards if you are so inclined.

Expect to sign up 1 person out of 100 postcards. Realize that
the numbers won’t work out perfectly each month but if you stay
consistent and keep mailing out postcards you will consistently
sign up new people to join you in your mlm.

Now back to that secret website. First you create a free account.
Next you upload artwork if any. Our postcard is just text so no
artwork is necessary. Select one sided postcard 4.25 by 6 inches
because this one uses the .28 postcard stamp. Then you upload
your lead list. Use one of the lead sources I sent you in a previous
email. (You are on my list right?) Remember to add your name and
street address to that campaign so you can tell when they receive
your postcard. It takes about 7-8 days for your prospects to receive it.

When you join me in my mlm, I’ll reveal the name of this secret website.
I’ll even do your mailings for you if you prefer for $45 bucks.

There you have it. All the information you need to get started
building your mlm downline with postcards. The question is,
Will YOU take massive action or will you keep complaining about your
money problems? I’ve decided to eliminate the word “can’t” from my
vocabulary and focus on what I can do. What about you?

P.S. My team starts a new postcard coop on the first of next month.
Don’t get left behind!

Back when I was a network marketing newbie, I didn’t even think about what kind of sponsor I would have. It never occurred to me that I should shop for the right sponsor just as I shop for the right opportunity.I just assumed since they would be making money off recruiting me that they would have my best interests at heart. Boy, was I wrong!

In my network marketing experience, I’ve been abandoned and thrown to the wolves. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. However, I’ve also hopped blindly from one program to the next thinking if I just found the right program, I’d be set for life. While this is partially true, it is also true that had I focused on choosing the right sponsor, I would have suffered less. So what should you look for in a network marketing sponsor?

The right network marketing sponsor doesn’t have to have all the answers. He or she just needs to know where to find them! What was it that Henry Ford said? If he didn’t know something, he knew how to find the answer. The right network marketing sponsor for you should also be someone whose personality fits with yours. You will probably be spending a lot of time with this person in the beginning so it helps if you like each other. More importantly, though, the right sponsor should have a proven system that you can easily plug into. Most of us start homebased businesses on a shoestring and our goal is to get into profit quickly. The right mlm sponsor can show you how to make that goal a reality.

Does your network marketing sponsor have your best interests at heart? How can you tell? One way is by the “extra” stuff he or she does for you. Perhaps your network marketing sponsor shares a few leads with you to get your business off to a good start. Or maybe they spend a little one-on-one time with you helping you to set up your website or practice prospecting scripts with you. They might even provide you with a few product samples. And if you’re really special, they might show you how to brand yourself. Of course, the goal here is to get you on your feet quickly so you can return the favor to your downline.

Network marketing can be a real jungle especially if it’s your first time joining a network marketing opportunity. Don’t get so excited about the opportunity that you forget to interview your sponsor. You deserve to know if your network marketing sponsor will help you take your business to the next level or not.The future of your residual income depends, in part, on having the right mlm sponsor.

Don’t gamble with your network marketing business! Choose the right network marketing sponsor who can show you how to generate $150 plus per day WITHOUT talking to anyone!

No not those kind of giveaways! I’m talking about giveaway events. Every so often, you’ll hear internet marketers talking about giveaway events. These events are designed to give contributors more exposure so they can attract new prospects and subscribers. It works for people seeking giveaway items to build their list, too.

As a network marketer looking to build your mlm leads list, you should not discount giveaways. Verify that your gift fits the theme of the event. For example, some giveaways are centered around how-to products only while others are restricted to the internet marketing niche. Do a search on google for “your niche” + “giveaway” without the quotes of course. Once you find one, sign up and upgrade to the next level because you get to promote more products in more places.

For example, upgraded contributors often get to place paid items in the event and they get to place their ads on the login page which is the most visited part of the website besides the gift page. You may be thinking, “Well, I’m in network marketing and I don’t have any products related to internet marketing to give away.” Check your skillset. Do you know how to do something online that someone else may not know? Could you make a quick video about it or whip up a quick step-by-step report? You can always include a link to your network marketing business on the contributor profile page and inside the product you just created. I know this works because this week,4 people who saw my site listed on this giveaway website visited my primary business website.

If you don’t have a gift right now, grab a giveaway here, set up your lead capture page, and start building your mlm leads list!

This inquiry was posted on a social networking site I frequent. It proves that if you keep your eyes open, you will see many opportunities to share what you’re learning with other people. My reply follows:

Hi (name removed for privacy),

Making money at home is simple once you understand who your target market is, what their needs/wants are and you have a system in place to get your message to them.

3 essential things you need to make money at home is a hungry market, steady stream of buyers, and constant advertising. A bonus quality is a product that sells itself.

I’ve found that people are more likely to buy what they want than what they need. Think about the last time you went grocery shopping. Did you only pick up what you needed or did you also include stuff you wanted? Chances are, you included what you wanted too.

What do YOU think of my answer? Comment below and let me know -k-

I created the Network Marketing Basics series to give beginning network marketers an edge they need to succeed in network marketing. This article will reveal an advertising source that’s been a well-kept secret among successful network marketers, affiliate marketers, and entrepreneurs alike.

I actually stumbled upon Rent-a-list.com about two years ago when I first came online. However, at the time, I had been burned and ripped off so many times I didn’t know who to trust so I did nothing even though the testimonials I read were compelling. On the recommendation of a trusted friend, I decided to run a targeted email campaign with Rent-a-list. My friend has been using them for 5 years to run his own targeted email campaign and he had nothing but good things to say about them. Still, I wasn’t expecting to see results so quickly.

Ok, so here are my results thus far for my first targeted email campaign for a Clickbank product. I chose the Internet Marketing Course category for a worldwide audience between the ages of 18 and 65. I used a unique solo ad copy to promote this affiliate product. Instead of sending my visitors straight to my affiliate link, I built a simple capture page to put interested folks on my list. (Remember, the money is in the list.) Since this was a test run, I started very small with just 100 targeted email ads for $8. I figured if my test failed, meaning I got no subscribers, I’d only be out 8 bucks. When I checked my campaign stats today, I saw that 39 people had clicked on my site. Of those 39, at least one person had subscribed to my email list. I say at least one because I can trace that person’s ip address to Rent-a-list. Besides Rent-a-list, I’ve advertised that Clickbank product on a couple of classified ads sites. I will check my website’s analytics to find out where my other subscriber came from.

I am thrilled with my results because a couple of weeks ago, I spent $22 for 1000 targeted email ads with another company and I got no results at all. When I say no results I mean that I got a whole bunch of hits to my website but no one opted in. Now, to be fair, on that particular campaign, I didn’t use a squeeze page. I just sent them through to my “framed” affiliate page. (If you don’t know what “framed” means, just leave me a comment and I’ll explain it and give you a template so you can make your own framed page.) It’s only $22 but still, I wish I had remembered Rent-a-list. I could have ran fewer ads and got better results!

Ok, on to my second targeted email campaign to 100 people that just started this afternoon around 4 pm EST. This time I’m promoting a lead and traffic system for anyone involved in a homebased business. Since I want to build my list, I designed a simple lead capture page to collect my leads. Guess what happened this time? After only 7 visitors, I got my first subscriber at 6:38 pm EST. I see only good things ahead for my business using Rent-a-list. I will keep you posted on my final stats for both programs so keep reading my blog for updates.

Rent-a-list.com is one of those services your upline will never tell you about either because they don’t know about it or they’re stuck in a time warp still promoting old-school activities that get you nowhere fast. So the next time your network marketing sponsor tells you to make a list, run immediately to Rent-a-list.com and open your free advertiser account. Their current specials for targeted email advertising is about 40% off. Check it out here and watch your mlm leads list explode in real-time.

YOU deserve success, too.

I created the network marketing basics series to save you from being labeled a newbie. Find out what’s really working in network marketing.

Has this ever happened to you or -gasp- have you been guilty of doing this to someone else on a social networking site? Your upline told you that the best way to grow your business is to tell everyone about your new business opportunity because EVERYBODY needs it. So… you listened and after going through your list of 100 names and no signups, you decide to tell all of your online friends about your network marketing business. Maybe you left an ad on their page or your link to your replicated mlm website. Watch this video and find out why that behavior is unwelcome online.

This question was posed on a social networking site recently and here is my answer below. I invite your comments.

secret_mlm_success

Unfortunately, most people struggling in mlm are not taught how to market properly. No one is teaching them effective direct response marketing strategies. Lately, “attraction marketing” is all the rage. However, I do not agree that you should focus all your energy on one form of marketing. Why leave money on the table? Get good at effective marketing. Period.
