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.

So in part 1 we talked about why people run out of money how something could be done to stop this from happening. As you know we have all been told that the money we make from our retail can be used to invest back into the new business venture. Well why would you want to use the money you have just worked so hard for to put back into your business.

At the end of the last post I mentioned a Funded Proposal System. Now you may be wondering what it is and how do they work. Well they are very simple. As network marketers we can offer people a solution to there problems. If you do this business the traditional way you will have made your list and gone out and pestered your family and friends and may have not gotten very far.

You run out of people to talk to about your opportunity, you spent a load of money on leads and advertising and still no much to show for it. The reason is actually very simple; by offering your opportunity you are in fact offering another problem. How do you expect someone to do a business without having a clue how to do it?  

By going in all guns blazing with your opportunity is going to be a disaster. But by offering them a solution to a problem they will see you as a leader. This is where the system comes into play.

A Funded Proposal System is a low cost front end product. It can be a book, an ebook, anything as long as it adds value to that person. By low cost I mean £15 – £30, and forget all about your main opportunity at that time.

So who do you offer this to, well other network marketers who have had the same problems as you in there business. By offering them a solution to the problems they face they will be more receptive to you. Suddenly you are someone that can help and not give like everyone else, trying to get them to join there business. I mean why would they join your business when they are having problems with there own?

Now most systems pay out a commission to there affiliates which can anything up to around 50% of the course. Now if we take 50% of £15 that’s £7.50 in your pocket just to prospect. That money can then be used to put back into your business, also you have a great lead who is already involved with network marketing, so knows the system. Also it allows you to advertise for FREE.

So the money you get from your information product pays for your advertising, which gives you endless FREE leads, which in turn gives you endless business growth. It dose not matter if that person never joins your primary business, as now you have made a new contact who you can share ideas with and network with and best of all you will meet others through that one person.

I have been using a system like this for over a year and I will not do business any other way. The system I am using is Magnetic Sponsoring and you can join today at www.MLMHintsAndTips.com

Don’t waste your time and your money talking to your family and friends. They have no interest in your business. Spend your time working with people who want to be successful. Now I’m saying that everyone you know at the moment will not be any good for your business as you may know people who are already successful but are looking for a change.

Thanks for reading
