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.

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.

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
BELOW AND GET THERE EARLY!)

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.

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.

Thanks for reading

This Wednesday is going to change the game for
thousands of network marketers across the globe.

Hopefully you’ll be one of them!

The choice is yours.

One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 2010 system comes into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is like me, you’ve probably made a killing using blogs.

For those who don’t, he’s the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 2010 comes into play.

It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free.

Rob Benwell is only a mere 24 years old and has already made several million dollars. Early in 2006 he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.

Just over two years after the success of his first book and over 20,000 copies sold of it and the 2007 2.0 update he is now releasing his third version of Blogging to the Bank helping to wet our appetites and keep the fat bucks rolling in.

I got this book as soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a godsend.

Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.

Saying that when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail. You also get his 5 Blogging Commandments For 2010 that you must follow to give you blogs the greatest success in 2009 and keep them future proofed. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt! His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers withtodays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.

Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 2010.

Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.

Here are some guidelines that you should be sticking to when looking into one of these opportunities. They are in order of importance and you may or may not agree with them but here is what you need to look for.

1)  The first thing and the most important thing you need to look at is YOU. That’s right you are the single most important factor in the whole business. You are the one who has to the work. Far too many people come into these businesses with the attitude that they are doing the person that introduced them to it a favour by signing up. Let me tell you, you need me more than I need you since you’re the one who needs to make more money or what ever your reason. Also are you prepared to learn new things, do things that you’re not combatable doing, take knock backs and disappointment. Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, if the answer is ‘no’ then stop reading now and find something better to do with your time.

2)  The second thing you need to look at is why you want to do this business is the support that you are going get from your upline (the person who sponsors you). How is your upline going to help and support you, do they have a system in place that will help make your business successful. If they don’t have a system how do you think your business venture will end. Ask them out right how they develop leads and how they pay for those leads. Good tip here you should never pay for leads. Also Google there name and see what they are up to online, see what kind of person they are, you will be surprised.

3)  The third thing is the training that the company provides. Do they have local and national training, website training, who are the leaders who give the training? Will you be trained about the products and how to build a business. Will your upline show you how to use the internet to bring in business. What resources do they use and do they have a system that you can duplicate.

4)  Find out about the marketing plan and how you will make money. Can your upline train you so that you will be able to stand on your own two feet and make an income.

5)  Next we come to the products, you don’t need to try the products to see if you like them unless you plan on being your only customer. You don’t have to be excited about them or like them, do you think that a man who sells women’s shoes tries the product first, or someone who sells nuts and bolts gets excited about it. The products are there to help solve a problem that’s it. The best thing to do is get your family and friend’s opinion of them by letting them use them and you will get a much better overview of the products. All you really need to know about the products is what are they and can you use them.

6)  Find out about the sales kit. Yes this will cost you some money, there is no such thing as a FREE lunch, get over it. This is an investment in your future, most people will pay into a pension that is more than likely not worth the paper it is written on and not bat an eye lid. Ask what is in the pack and can you use the products.

7)  And finally we come to the company. If your potential upline has a great system in place, a complete training    system, a way to generate 1000s of endless leads and customers, a method to put money in your pocket and is someone who can teach you to become a success then it does not matter about the company. You know what the products are and that they are a successful company then that’s all you need to get started.

These are only my guidelines you need to do what you think is best for you. Enjoy working your new business and enjoy meeting the great people you will meet in the industry. Thank you for reading.

If the answer is no then you are missing out on a gold mine of prospects, leads and income for your business and here’s why. Your group on Facebook can be as large as you like, however you will only be able to email 5000 people at a time.

However don’t let that deter you, there still alot you can do with your group.

Setting up your new group could not be easier. Simply click on you groups icon at the bottom of any of the pages and you will be taken to the groups page. There you will have a tag the say “create new group” Click on that and fill out the details of what your group is about. Put as much information as you like.

If you are an internet marketer, a great group would be something with your name in the title, for instance my group is called “Tristram Lodge’s MLM Rock Stars – A Place For Network Marketers To Meet”

If you want to brand yourself then putting your name in the title is a sure fire winner, and Google will love it! However your group will not be public. This means that only people with a Facebook account and who are logged in will be able to view your group. The way around this is to setup your own Fan Page. (I will talk about these later)

You want to keep your group member updated on a regular basis with informative topic’s and value. DO NOT PROMOTE YOUR OPPORTUNITY, your group members will leave quicker than they join you.

Talking about group members and how to get them, click the Invite People To Join on the left side of the page and click on which of your friends you would like to invite. I always add a message as you will get more people to join.

I send out emails every couple of days with interesting articles, videos and forum posts I have read. I also post inspirational quotes on the group wall. If you are adding great content and value your group will grow as people will suggest your group to their friends.

You can also create a group event. This is a great tool and I use this every week for a webinar invite. Really simple to set up, just select Create Group Event, fill out the details like date, time and location.

Go onto the next step and fill out the details of the event, add a photo and put a category for your event. Next you can publish your event and it will be posted on your wall and your friends home pages.

Last thing you can do is invite your friends, there is a box at the bottom of the page where you can invite everyone in the group. Just tick the box and click Send Invites. You can also invite any of your friends who are not in you group by selecting them and clicking Send Invites.

Thanks for reading and I would like to extend an invite to you for my group on Facebook. Just head over to “Tristram Lodge’s MLM Rock Stars – A Place For Network Marketers To Meet” and I look forward to seeing you there.

It’s also the last day of the first decade of a new century.

Frightening thought, but hasn’t the last 10 years flown by?

So what will the new decade have install for you? Well the choice is yours, you and only you can decide what fortunes will come your way.

With the state of the economy being what it is, although, it is claimed things are on the up in most countries around the world there still is a great opportunity to prosper in the new decade.

If you want to change the way you work your business or how your life is going right now seize the opportunity with both hands and do it. The world in which we live is changing and more and more people want to take control of their lives and not be put down by employers or governments.

I want to wish all my readers a very Happy New Year and a prosperous new decade as well.
