I have just been doing some work on Facebook and I was posting something on one of the group walls that really caught my eye.

It was one of those ads that you really look and it makes you think. You know the ones I means, we’ve all seen them.

The ads stated that the person had sponsored 10,000 reps in 12 months! WOW, 10,000 in 12 months. That works out at 28 people a day, everyday.

It’s not the ad as such that’s the problem, it’s the persons credibility that will be damaged. This is obviously an untrue statement and one that could not be backed up.

As network marketers working online it is very easy to lose credibility with such statements. Google is a wonderful tool for checking up on such things.

If I was honest I don’t know that I would want nearly 30 new reps every day. Where would you find the time to train these new reps, get them setup in the system, answer their questions, sleep eat and see your family?

Also once you have done all that when do you find the time to prospect, you must have new prospects coming through your marketing system, which you must contact and find out if they are right for your business.

Instead of writing these ads that make wild claims why not have said I sponsored 50 or 100 reps in a year. It’s sounds more credible and something that everyone can relate to and achieve.

Have your credibility intact and having something in place that you can show people how to do will put you in good stead as a leader in this industry. You will be looked upon as someone who can deliver what they say.

3 Tips To Managing Your Facebook Group.

If you have been on Facebook for any amount of time you will have undoubtedly joined a few Facebook groups. We all belong to lots but do you take any notice of what the group owners is sending you?

There are a handful of groups that I open up the emails they send me as I know that it will be worth reading. The vast majority is not, just spam to join the next best opportunity.

If you have a group or are thinking of starting one here are 3 things you can email out to your group members to keep them in your group. Your Facebook group should be just like your list that you are building through your auto responder.

So here are my top 3 things you can send out for managing your Facebook group. They may not be yours and I would be interested to know your thoughts.

Group Members Blog or Video Posts

Your group members are the life blood of your group. Without them you have no group so what better way of thanking them by sending out a link to your other group member with their blog or video post. Not all your members will participate in the group and that’s up to them but you will always get people who will post quality content. After a while others will start to join in when they see the exposure a few group members are getting. As long as you are sending out good content the members will love it.

Invites to Training Webinars.

If you have a weekly webinar send out the invites to your group. I do this once a week for the My Lead System Pro webinar. This webinar really is one of the best around, full of the very best content on the internet. This is a great way to get valuable training right into the hands of your group members.

Your Own Blog and Videos

When you make a new post send it out to your group members. This is a great way to get traffic to your post, build your own brand and share your expertise with your group members. Don’t forget to add a call to action. Ask for a comment and for them to share your work. It really works but it’s like the old saying goes if you don’t ask you don’t get.

If you are doing this on a regular basis you can send out a link to a product or affiliate link once in a while. This won’t be looked on a spam as long as you send out more value then links. I would suggest one link a week is more than enough as long as you have sent out valuable content a couple of times a day.

5 Tips For Your WordPress Post.

I want to share with you the 5 things I do when publishing a blog post on WordPress. I’m not writing about how to write a post or the content you could put in a post. This is about the little things you can do to benefit you post.

These will make your post stand out and look good. One tip will make it more appealing when you post in groups on Facebook. Another will get your readers to interact with you and also send them to another part of your blog.

Your Blog Post URL.

When you add your post title, WordPress will give it a URL which will be http://YourBlogName.com/posttitle and I would suggest that you shorten this down, especially if it is a long title. If you have any form of punctuation such as apostrophes, commas or question marks just remove them when editing the URL. For some reason your address bar will convert those to a string of code which looks messy. Also place your some or all of your keywords in the new URL as this will help your SEO.

Add an Image.

I always add an image to the top left side of the post and put my text around it. The reason I do this is it makes the post look better and not just plain text. Also when you put links in Facebook groups back to your blog, Facebook will use the image as a thumbnail making your wall post stand out from others. I get all my images from Google images and I use Jing to get them. If you don’t have Jing yet head over to Jing Project and download your free copy. I scale the image down to 250 pixels wide, WordPress back office software will do this for you.

Add links to other blog, sites or posts in your own blog.

A good tip is to add links to other blog or websites. It helps SEO and also if you’re giving away free stuff like Jing it helps your readers find what you have told them about easier. Might sound like I’m telling you to suck eggs but I have seen some blogs with great information but no clickable link to the recommendation. Also when you are adding the link always open the dropdown menu next to the word “Target” and select “Open link in new window”. What this will do is open up the link in a new window leaving your blog open on the original window. This keeps people on your blog longer and they don’t have to try and find you again if they close the linked window.

Call Too Action.

At the end of your post you should always put a call to action. Ask your readers for comments and questions. Ask them to share the post on Facebook, Twitter and the other social sites you have. I like to also take the opportunity to thanks them for their visit and offer them a “FREE Gift” which is a link to another part of my blog. You will be amazed just by adding a call to action just how many people respond to it and leave a comment. Well worth doing.

Signature

And lastly at the bottom of your page you add your signature which you can get free from My Live Signature They have many different styles and fonts to chose from or you can upload your own signature and they will convert it for a small fee. You could also head over to Wise Stamp and make your own custom signature with picture, links to your social site, your last blog post. This one can be used as an email signature as well as on your blog.

That’s my 5 tips to make your content stand out and help your readers into the bargain. There are many more things you can do so get creative, it is your blog at the end of the day.

What’s Your Personality Type?

We all have a personality but were you aware that every single one of us is one of just four personality types.

Just one of four, that’s amazing but you will see during the video how diverse those personalities really are.

By understanding your own personality style and that of others it will give you a better insight in how you can approach and deal with different people.

Here is the video and pick out your own personality style.

40 Speeches, 2 Minutes – Get Inspired

It’s the start of a new month and so I started to check my early August states for my blog on Google Analtyics and found something interesting. The vast majority of the keywords searches are for Inspirational.

I checked back through July and the same pattern emerged. The inspirational keeps popping up as a single word or in phrases. This got me thinking as to why this word is so prominent at this time of year.

Maybe people are enjoying the summer and are just returning from a holiday abroad, maybe feeling a little depressed at the thought of going back to work.

Could that the world need a bit of inspiration at the moment. I don’t know the answer but I have found a great clip on Youtube to share with you.

If you’re looking for a little inspiration then I have 40 speeches for you and squeezed them into 2 minutes.

Enjoy!
