I believe that one of the biggest negative against MLM or Network Marketing in the era of the internet is lack of inclusion and teamwork.  In the 90′s, the industry was built locally and mushroomed out from a central point of momentum.  In other words, people were mostly attracting people that they knew; usually close to home.  In-home meetings and large focused gatherings were critical to building a solid downline.

Now there’s an entire industry that has grown up around building a network marketing business through effective marketing on the internet.  I’ve been involved in one very effective program for quite a while.  My current downline is peppered throughout with people that have joined my primary business as a result of my efforts on the internet.  But here’s the rub.  Over time, I realized that retention becomes a problem if you have someone out on an island so to speak, without a local support network.  It took losing some of those people for me to finally realize that there had to be an even more aggressive sense of inclusion if those people were to stick around long term.

While internet marketing has the potential of building a geographically fragmented downline, if handled correctly, the internet can also be used to provide that team with a sense of inclusion.  If you have one rep alone in Minnesota when the majority of your downline is mostly from Florida, for example, you need some way of making sure that this lone rep is not left on their own to flounder and struggle.  So how do you do that effectively?

One of the key components of internet marketing is learning to use a Blog as sort of the central nervous system for all of your activity.  This approach is effective, but most people using this approach unwittingly build their blog centered around themselves and their primary business, affiliate offerings, etc.  After I had my Blog clicking along for about six months, it was getting tons of hits, was very well constructed and performing as I was taught.  The problem was that it was all about me.  So what did I do?

I did what every effective network marketing blogger should do.  I started another blog centered around my team.  My primary business participants now have a place to go to feel included in the process regardless of where they live or how isolated they may be.  This blog centers ONLY on my primary business.  Each person is prominently displayed there with a picture, a personal bio and a link to their individual corporate site.  I still send out articles and other content from this site, but in addition, I allow my teammates to do the same.  Anyone who wants to submit an article or video simply submits it to me and I syndicate it from our team site.  The results?

An effective team site where everyone feels included.  A site where all of us have a more personable place to refer potential new reps.  A site that belongs to the team, not just to me.  In addition, with all of the various content being submitted from ALL of us, this site is quickly climbing in the rankings and having an impact on our placement for Google searches.

If you have an effective blog, you are way ahead of the game.  But if you want to take it to another level in order to reduce your attrition rate and help your team members in the process, consider taking the steps described here in order to move your business forward.  Feel free to refer to my team site for ideas on how to do this effectively.

If you intend to impact your personal income positively in 2010, follow these proven steps to ensure your success.

Make sure that you are with a company that you can remain passionate about for the long term.  A smart downline builder does not overlook the impact that retention can have on long term success.  Make sure you are offering products that people are willing to pay for consistently.  Hopefully, you have aligned yourself with a sponsor that has your best interest in mind.  Ongoing education is important.  Your upline sponsor should play a pivotal role in ensuring you are up to date at all times on the latest changes, suggestions and marketing techniques.

If you are receiving little to no support from your sponsor, do not hesitate to seek out help online from organized teams from your MLM company that are willing to allow you access to their webinars, meetings and ongoing training.   Never settle for being stuck in idle.  If your upline is not helping you as they should, take some initiative.  It is your business.  It is your life.  It is your choice.  Do not settle for mediocrity.

A successful downline builder is one who understands the importance of an effective MLM marketing strategy.  MLM is all about marketing.  If you do not consider yourself to be in sales, or if you feel that selling is not for you, get out of the MLM business that you are in.  You will save yourself a lot of disappointment.  But if you plan to become a serious downline builder, remember that the “company” approach of marketing only to friends and family will only get you so far.

An effective MLM marketing strategy  should be a compliment to your primary business.  Implement a marketing strategy that will help you to expand beyond your local market.  Millions of people are out there, hungry for a solid way to earn an income.  You can reach them through a credible online marketing program.  The right marketing system should provide you with a comprehensive ongoing education.  The right system should teach you how to generate unlimited leads and turn those leads into distributors.  The right program should teach you to create lead capture pages, blogs and websites all designed to drive traffic to your opportunity.  The right MLM marketing strategy should also provide you with a second source of income.

The days of only marketing locally and expecting to be successful are long gone.  If you want to become a top downline builder in your business, implement an effective MLM marketing strategy and move beyond your local market.  This is THE most overlooked component of ensuring success in an MLM business.  Do not take an effective marketing plan lightly.  Do your due diligence.  Take the time necessary to evaluate different programs, but find a program that is right for you and re-energize your efforts as soon as possible.  Some success may be found locally, but your potential for explosive success will be found in 2010 through marketing yourself and your business online.

Find your “way to money”.  If you are just starting out online, begin with an effective strategy.  Your way to money starts by setting yourself up for success.  Do your research.  Do not go for the first business opportunity you see.  Find a company that shares your values.  Evaluate the products or services that the company offers and determine if they are a good fit for you.  A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself whether at least ten of your top 100 local contacts would actually want to buy the product on a consistent basis.  If not, this company is not your way to money.  Move on.

When you do find the right company, get online and find the right long term mentor.  Align yourself with a person who has shown true success.  Have several conversations with them until you are satisfied that they will work with you patiently and help you to get past the learning curve.  Proper training on the company, the products or services and the compensation plan is important.  You want to align yourself with someone who will make sure you have all of the answers, no matter how trivial.

The most important step in finding your way to money is to ensure you have an effective online marketing strategy.  Remember, the “company” marketing plan does not qualify as an effective marketing strategy and it is not your way to money.  A solid online marketing program is the answer, and quite frankly the missing link for most people that struggle along, or simply give up.

The company marketing plan usually involves selling to your friends and family.  That may give you an initial push, but if you are in it for the long term, after sixty to ninety days, you will be sorely disappointed with your results if this is your only marketing plan.  Find an online marketing program that will compliment and enhance your primary business efforts.

Your way to money is best found through a marketing program that will help you to build unlimited leads online.  The program must have the best education component possible and the program must keep you up to date on changes and fresh marketing techniques.  If the marketing system is credible, it will also offer you compensation for introducing others to the program.  And finally, the program must be easy to duplicate.  If you end up in a company that pays you well for building out a network of company reps, you will want to be in a program that they can join, too.  If your program is easy to follow and easy to duplicate, this will enhance their business efforts and impact your income tremendously.  Remember, your way to money is on solid footing if you build a team of 50 or more reps.  That same entrenched team of 50 reps, all utilizing an effective marketing strategy will eventually provide you with true financial freedom.

If you would like to implement an effective online marketing strategy that will help you to generate unlimited online leads and explode your business efforts, visit Greg Tucker today @ DownlineBuilder.biz.  Enter in your information where appropriate and Greg will contact you within 24 hrs. to help you get started.

Multilevel Marketing is a numbers game. The more people you introduce to your opportunity, the more money you are likely to make. To begin generating a steady stream of traffic to your site, try these techniques:

1. Write and distribute Articles, Reports and Ebooks.  Promote your business by creating high quality articles and allowing others to backlink them for you.  The best tool for syndicating your content is OnlyWire.  The best resource for creating backlinks is FreeTrafficSystem.  Another great way to create content is to distribute a brandable ebook or special report.  Allow others to download the ebook for free by providing their contact information and joining your mailing list.

2. Participate in Newsgroups, Forums, and Mailing Lists. There are hundreds of forums online and you can find one for almost any topic imaginable. Most allow you to include a signature line that will be attached to every message. This is a chance for you to advertise your site. Visiting these forums to post thoughtful questions and offer your expertise will mean your signature is viewed by others and will bring you free, targeted traffic.

3. Join Social Networking sites to build your personal network such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.  Social Networking sites are designed to make it easy for people to meet others in their industry and to discuss their products and service.  A great resource for building a huge following quickly on Twitter is called Twittollower.  Use this service to build a targeted niche following in the tens of thousands.

4. Use Classified Sites and Traffic Exchanges.  Classified ad sites and traffic exchanges work well if you know how to use them. If you’re promoting a product or service that others can benefit from then they’re a great place to get traffic.

5. Run a Contest.  People love the prospect of winning something – that’s why a contest can be a great traffic generator.  The key is to choose a prize that will attract people from your target audience.  If you make the grand prize a new laptop you’ll get entries from everyone who would like to win a new laptop (which is basically every computer user in the world!).  Get more targeted traffic by choosing something that your target audience is interested in but wouldn’t mean much to other people.  To start promoting your contest do a search in Google for “Contest Directories” and you’ll find lots of places to list your contest for free.

6. Include a Powerful Signature on all Outgoing Email. Every time you send a piece of mail you have the potential to get a visitor to your site. Simply create a “signature” that is automatically added to every outgoing message. Use the signature to briefly explain what you do and add a hyperlink to your site. Once it’s set up you don’t have to think about it again!

7.  Video marketing is THE most effective type of online marketing.  Simple equipment can create effective videos that you can then download to YouTube and syndicate.  The best option for syndication is TrafficGeyser.

8.  Create a blog.  An effective blog can become the nerve center for all of your operations.  Drive all of your traffic to your blog in order to build your blog ranking.  Once a visitor has come to your blog, it’s easier to redirect them to not just one place, but all of the programs that you are involved in on the internet.

I started my involvement with the MLM industry several years ago.  Just like the majority of people that join a direct marketing company, I was clueless at the time as far as how to build my business.  Some of us are lucky to join under an upline mentor that has all of the answers and can articulate to you what is working for them.  Most of us, however end up under someone who is just as excited and passionate about the company and opportunity as we are, but are just as clueless when it comes to smart business tactics and how to implement them effectively.  If only I had someone like Michael Dlouhy as a mentor when I first started.  Fast forward several years, and I now consider myself an expert on many aspects of the industry with a lot still to learn, but that education came from the school of hard knocks.

Michael Dlouhy is an individual who has been full time in the MLM industry for close to twenty years.  I would encourage you to read his blog and his bio because only then will you come to realize the level of passion and commitment it takes to be wildly successful in this industry.  His level of commitment is unsurpassed.  He has worked to support the growth and development of so many people and his legacy will live on for decades to come.

I am personally not involved with Michael Dlouhy, but I hope that I maintain just a small percentage of his passion for as long as I am involved in direct marketing.

You know, it is amazing what you can find on the internet as a resource if you will just look deep enough.  Programs like the one offered by Michael Dlouhy are giving thousands of new distributors a much bigger head start than the one I was personally exposed to when I began my MLM journey.  If I could relay one simple truth to you that I hope would stick, it would be this:  Today more than ever, you must have an effective MLM Marketing Strategy if you plan to achieve any level of success as a multilevel operator.

Let me say it again.  It is imperative that you implement a credible MLM Marketing Strategy in order to achieve success.  The days of relying solely on friends and family to build your downline are over.  If that is all your upline mentor has to offer you, then you better take the bull by the horns and do for yourself.  Do not wait on this person to provide some magic bullet.  If all they have to provide you is some “memory jogger” so you can add even more local leads to your list of people to go after, you are dead in the water.

Effective MLM Marketing Strategies like the one offered by Michael Dlouhy can be found everywhere.  The key is making sure you choose a strategy that is right for you.  You need one that will help you create multiple online leads, one that will put you in profit quickly, a program that is duplicatable, and one that offers you additional streams of income.

Do your due diligence.  Do not wait another day before you research and find an MLM Marketing Strategy that is right for you.  If you have the passion of Michael Dlouhy and you combine that with a common sense business approach, you will not fail.  Add consistency to the mix and you will reach a true level of success and real financial freedom.

If you want to learn this all important strategy for generating unlimited leads for your business and driving massive amounts of traffic to your site, go to DownlineBuilder.biz.  Enter your name and email into the appropriate boxes and get started today!

That’s right.  It really does come down to only four options when building an MLM Business.  Option One is the old fashion way; the method that has been taught since the beginning of the industry.  You enroll with the company and your sponsor suggests that you pull out a pen and paper and write down the names of all of your friends and family.  A memory jogger is then trotted out so that you can write down former classmates you haven’t seen in years, your mailman, teachers, people from your neighborhood and so on.  Once you have assembled your list, you are quite pleased with the fact that you know so many people.  After several months though, you are discouraged with the fact that most of these people do not want anything to do with your business opportunity.

Okay, so what next?  Option Two is when you chase after anyone that was not on your list initially.  These are the people that you run into during your daily activities.  When using Option Two, you find when interacting with these people, you are not really listening to them because you are already angling for how you can introduce your MLM business opportunity into the conversation.  These people do not really know you and most likely, they can’t wait for you to go away.  Just like your friends and family, their radar has gone up as to how to avoid you in the future.  They do not want your fliers.  They don’t want your marketing materials or your business card.  They do not want to attend any meetings.  So now you’ve exhausted all of the leads on your list.  The number of new people that you encounter daily is now down to a slow drip, so maybe it is time to consider Option Three.

Option Three involves buying leads online.  Many people out there are filling out surveys daily which discuss ways of earning additional money.  These email addresses are gathered and sold to people in an MLM business as “hot leads”.  The odds of some joker in Lexington, Kentucky wanting to actually hear from you because months ago he filled out some random survey is slim.  His email address is most likely being offered to someone else besides you as a supposed hot lead.  Not a very good option.  So what do you do then?

In order to operate a successful MLM business, you must come to terms with the fact that quality multiple leads are the lifeblood of your operation.  An effective MLM marketing strategy is essential.  Without quality leads that you generate on a daily basis, you are probably idling in your business.  In addition, you must realize that you cannot continue to market products and services.  Instead, you must market yourself.  People want to do business with other people; individuals that they can trust and who offer them value.  If you have attempted Options One, Two and Three, it is time for you to move to Option Four.

Option Four is to find a program that markets you as a business professional.  Option Four offers real value to your potential business partners.  Option Four generates unlimited leads for the growth and development of your MLM business using techniques that are working for top earners nationwide.  Option Four allows you to discard your list of local leads, or what is left of it and focus only on leads that come to you already interested in what you have to offer.  And finally, Option Four allows you to earn income off of any of your leads regardless of whether they decide to join your primary MLM business,which creates an additional revenue stream for you.

In order to ensure long term success, you must be content with the fact that you have a concrete MLM marketing strategy in place.  There are marketing strategies out there that will allow you to create multiple leads.  These programs will teach you how to build a business effectively.  Are you content with your current MLM marketing strategy?  If not, we encourage you to step out and do your due diligence.  If you are serious about your MLM business, set aside a few days and do your research.  An effective online MLM marketing strategy is the true route to financial freedom.  Greg Tucker

In order to achieve any level of success in Monavie, you must have a genuine passion for the products being offered.  If you are like most Monavie MLM reps., that should be no problem.  Monavie MLM reps. in general are the most passionate group of operators on the planet.  Many MLM products are used infrequently.  Monavie MLM reps. have the advantage of offering a product that is used daily.  The health results are incredible and that makes it easy to promote the product.

If you are a distributor for Monavie or have plans to become one, what is your plan for bringing large numbers of people into your organization?  What most Monavie MLM reps. are sorely lacking is an effective MLM marketing strategy.  You can’t expect to build a substantial Monavie MLM business if all you have as leads are your friends and family.  It does not matter how well connected you are, eventually you will run out of local leads.

Most of us are very aware of the internet and how it has changed the business world forever.  Few of us, however are able to harness the power of the internet in order to create an effective MLM marketing strategy that will hold up long term.  The good news is that you do not have to do this.  Credible online marketing strategies already exist.

If you are looking for a solution to building your Monavie MLM business online, it is imperative that you do your due diligence and find an MLM marketing strategy that is right for you.  If you find just such a program, but determine that it is just not for you due to time restraints or any number of legitimate reason, do not dismiss it.  If you have been in Monavie for some time, but have several struggling Monavie MLM reps., the program could be exactly what some of your team members need in order to re-energize their efforts and increase your income potential in the process.

Regardless of whether you are a seasoned Monavie MLM rep. or whether you are just starting out, remember that an effective MLM marketing strategy is an absolute must for long term success.  When you finally find the program that is right for you, make sure that you set aside several days so that you can quickly get past the learning curve.  You want the program to start showing results for you and/or your downline Monavie MLM reps. as soon as possible.  Friends and family just will not cut it anymore with all of the options out there these days.  Do your research.  Do not wait another day before you begin your quest for a suitable MLM marketing strategy that works for you.  Greg Tucker

Monavi is a fantastic company.  Yes, I know I spelled it wrong, but that was just to get your attention.  The product works extremely well for so many people.  Most are enthusiastic and want to share their experience with as many people as possible.  The company is credible and the compensation plan they offer is awesome.

So what does this have to do with the California Goldrush?  Well, let me tell you.  In brief, the California Goldrush resulted in thousands upon thousands of people scurrying to the state of California to stake their claim and make a fortune.  In retrospect, many historians agree that some people made money, but the large majority did not.  The mass majority labored in the creeks with pan in hand for months at a time and came up empty.  So who made the money?  A select few made money from Gold, but they were the ones who had a well thought out plan and executed it to perfection.  But who made the REAL money?

The people who made the most money were the ones selling the picks, shovels, pans, etc.  These guys made a fortune!  They were smart enough to realize that no one was going to go out and seek their fortune without the right equipment.  Every single person with Gold fever became a potential customer for them and they racked up!

Here’s the analogy as it relates to Monavi.  There are thousands of people who are seeking their fortune through this company.  A select few are making money due to their well thought out strategy and the execution of that plan.  The masses however, are like the thousands of miners who were in the creeks for months at a time and came up empty.

Okay.  Stop right there and ask yourself which category do you fall into?  If you are one of the people in the creek, are you smart enough today to realize that thousands of Monavi reps. just like you need picks, shovels, etc.?  And if you get that, then do you also realize that when you move beyond Monavi and include the hundreds of other MLM companies out there, that there are literally millions of people in the creek who are struggling?

Get out of the creek.  Go into town and set up shop.  Your base of customers locally is limited to those who may or may not want to join your Monavi business.  Your base of customers who are struggling in the creek is in the millions.  Which market do you seriously want to go after?  Well, for me personally, I’ve decided to go after both.  I’m panning for Gold, but I’m also selling a ton of picks, pans and shovels.

If you would like to implement an effective online marketing strategy that will help you to generate unlimited online leads and explode your business efforts, visit Greg Tucker today @ DownlineBuilder.biz.    Enter in your name and email and Greg will contact you within 24 hrs. to help you get started.
