You’re a Network Marketing Newbie – What Could You Possibly Offer?
by Tristram Lodge on Mar.03, 2010, under MLM Hints And Tips
How can you, someone who has been involved with network marketing for a few months add any sort of value to your prospects?
Well as it happens you can offer quite a lot. Stay with me on this one and I will tell you how you can help others with their business while building yours at the same time. You have heard people talking about adding value, leading with a solution not a business opportunity.
You may have been fortunate enough to have read Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring. (If you haven’t yet I would strongly suggest you do!) So how can someone who has only been in network marketing possibly add any sort of value to anyone else in the industry?
To start with you can share your experience in MLM up until now, the things you have done that work and that don’t work. People love a story so tell your story, the ups and down’s, the good and bad. Tell people why you got started and your background, this can be great to build some common ground.
Something you can do is find articles, videos or training’s that have caught your eye and you have found helpful and share them with your contacts. You can do this through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. You can find a ton of great content on Better Networker.
A tool that I have been using for a few weeks now is called AutoTweetX, it pulls content from any website you like with the key words you have picked. You can then check out the content, if it is relevant to your market you can add a bit.ly link and post it to twitter.
If you have used twitter you will have seen the 1000s of ads on there, so by posting this type of non promotional content you will get a good following and build strong relationships. It’s also great for finding great content.
If you do this DO NOT copy and paste the work and present it as your own. This is not ethical and you will get found out as a fraud and someone who is not to be trusted. Simply copy the web address from your web browser and that will take people direct to the article.
What else can you do, well I would suggest that you sign up to as many newsletters as you can. Some will just try and sell you anything and everything so just hit the unsubscribe button. However most will pass on good quality information that you can share with other networkers. They will give you information about useful websites and tools to help you grow your business.
Pass this information onto others and you will soon build a great reputation as a leader and not like most network marketers who are out there selling products and have no interest in actually helping anyone.
At some point you are going to have to start producing your own content. Check out how the leaders write and the subjects they write about. Also get some Copywrite training, this is a skill you will need.
As your list grows, keep sending out quality information at least once a week, twice is better. Have some of your content and some of other peoples. Remember if you are using someone else’s content send your list to that person website or content on the web.
Trust me in the long run it better for your and for them, and they will appreciate you spreading there content around. Its good practice to get into as your content could be passed onto in much the same way. Imagine having your content blasted around the internet, how much would that explode your business and your brand name.
Enjoy sharing the great content that is out there, your prospects will appreciate it and you will grow as a leader and business owner.
Facebook Marketing – How To Do It The Right Way
by Tristram Lodge on Feb.17, 2010, under Facebook
Over the past year or so social media has really exploded and grown as a way for business people to connect with one another. Facebook is raked at number 2 on Alexa and has been there for sometime now. It has over 400 million users and is rising. This is a massive audience of people to connect with.
One of the biggest problems with all of these people is how do you get noticed. The good news is that 97% of the people who use Facebook to market their network marketing business are doing just that. They are all marketing their own little business to the world, you seen the ads in all the groups, on the home wall etc.
“Ground floor turnkey my products better than your product you don’t need to sell or talk to anyone and the company CEO is a very nice man”
These people are getting noticed for all the wrong reasons so the good news is you are now in a win-win situation. With Facebook marketing you absolutely do not pitch, promote or spam you business opportunity to anyone. It is a social networking site so use it for social networking.
So what does Facebook Marketing entail and why is it called marketing if you should market you business. The answer is simple, market yourself. You have a platform here where you can show the world exactly who you are and what your expertise is and most importantly how your knowledge can help others solve a problem.
By marketing yourself and not your business you will stand out from the crowd as a leader. Everyone wants to join a leader since they are perceived to already have success and knowledge therefore they will be able to help and guide better than someone who is new.
However since using Facebook for a while now I still see the so called leaders pitching their business opportunities to everyone on the site. If they are not doing that they are pitching there training system on your wall and soon as you make a connection with them. This is not marketing, this is spam, which belongs on a plate!
The best way to market on Facebook is to build trust, if people trust you then they are more likely to want to do business with you. Offer value, help and support in the form of a blog, link you Twitter account to your Facebook account. Post links to interesting articles, videos or forum topics.
If you have your own blog, post a link to your latest blog post in the groups you belong to, it’s a great way of getting free traffic to you blog and will take you less than 30 minutes a day to do for each update. I also add a few links to my lead capture pages or training pages as well as blog links. (This is a great way to keep the Facebook spies of your back and getting your account closed down).
Facebook marketing can be very profitable as long as you add great content, interact with your friends, and position yourself as a leader by never promoting your primary business.
Heavyweight Sponsors at Starbucks! Are You Kidding Me?
by Tristram Lodge on Feb.16, 2010, under Weekly Webinar
You read that right!
If you didn’t know yet, network marketing
empires, the downlines of 10,000+, are NOT
built 100% through the internet.
Far from it.
The real deal networkers, the guys and gals
who make the 5-figure residual checks, they
NETWORK!
They do NOT just hide behind their computers
and hope that new distributors stay on their
autoship.
Quite the contrary.
In addition to having an army of ads running
24×7 globally via the internet (this is amazing
leverage), they are out there in the trenches
working their businesses FACE TO FACE and
the results speak for themselves.
They build local COMMUNITIES. Hi-Tech
AND Hi-TOUCH! It has to be this way if you’re
serious about building a network marketing empire
and seeing any type of retention within your organization.
And this Wednesday Feb. 17th at 9 PM EST
I’m going to bring to you 2 of the best in the business
when it comes to building LOCALLY.
BUILD LOCALLY = COMMUNITY = BIG RESIDUAL CHECK!
And If for some reason you haven’t heard, a few
of my partners just released a DVD that
shows internet marketers how they were able
to build a $3million dollar business in 12 months.
My 2 guest trainers this Wednesday will
show you how incredibly easy it has become to
“Sponsor at Starbucks” with this new DVD that
people are going crazy for because it’s giving
the people EXACTLY what they want!
Imagine handing a serious entrepreneur / networker
a DVD that showed them how to actually turn a profit
leveraging the internet…
And also imagine learning how to tap into ENTREPRENEURS
AND NETWORKERS in your local area STARTING THIS
WEEK, and then simply giving them the information that they
would pay you THOUSANDS of dollars for… for F*R*E*E!
How would that affect your ability to build relationships
with quality PROFESSIONALS who will eventually join
YOUR business IF you do this right 
**** THIS IS
THE BIG SECRET OF THE PRO NETWORKERS ****
It’s all unveiled this Wednesday at 9 PM EST
(FAIR WARNING – THIS WILL SELL OUT! REGISTER

This is big stuff. This is how downlines of 30,000+
are built… and this process used to be a lot of
sales pitching, hard-core recruiting, convincing, and
a LOT of rejection.
The times have changed.
We’ll see you at 9 PM EST this Wednesday.

How to use Facebook for Social Networking
by Tristram Lodge on Feb.13, 2010, under Facebook
Social networking is fast becoming the internet marketer’s best friend. Original designed for high school and collage students to keep in touch it has evolved into a community of professional business owners interacting with one another. You can get targeted traffic from your niche to your profile and promote yourself as a leader within that niche.
Now this is where a lot of people who use Facebook social networking fall down. Your profile should be an online billboard that promotes you and your particular expertise. Let me explain, if you own a network marketing business and you have used article marketing to build that business show people how they can also build a network marketing business using articles. Don’t promote you business its a sure fire way to get yourself unfriended.
A lot of people may disagree with me on this one but if you are doing what 97% of people are doing on Facebook then you are just like everyone else and you will never stand out from the crowd. Facebook social networking is not about promoting your business, but about building relationships with people.
People do business with people not with companies, products or comp plans.
This is another promotional tip, under the “Info” tab put as much information about yourself as you like. What music you like, books you like to read, films you enjoy. Include your interests and hobbies, this is a great icebreaker. You get the picture, but once again don’t promote your business, just your expertise.
Another great area you can build relationships on Facebook is by joining groups and participating with those groups in the discussion area or putting links to articles you have written or to your blog. If the group will allow you to post video then this is internet prime real estate. If you can put up free training videos than you will have people falling over themselves wanting to network with you. This puts you as a leader and you will stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
The last little tip that I will give you today on Facebook social networking is do the social networking bit with your Facebook friends. On the home page you will see all of your friends status updates and you can click the “Like “ word under the update or even better respond to their update.
If they are having a bad day, give them some words of encouragement, if they are not feeling well tell them you hope they feel better soon. This will help build your relationship with that person, but also all of their friends will see your comments and you could attract more people into your group of friends that way.
It will also show that you are not just out to make a quick buck from everyone whom you come into contact with on the internet. Facebook social networking is a great way to keep your target audience up to date with your latest training and offers.
For an indepth look at how to use social networking to grow your business click here and start using this fantasic media the right wat. Most of your competition will not be using any of this cool stuff so while your sitting on a beach drinking cocktails they will still be struggling to $10 a month.
