If you wish to achieve more MLM success in the following year, you may want to consider implementing some of the techniques that I will be sharing. These techniques were from a home study program that I did a couple of years and it has definitely helped with my a shift and strengthening of my mindset. Try and see if it works for you, if it does – You get more MLM success, if it doesn’t – you don’t lose anything.
Now word of caution: These techniques require you to have consistency and discipline, applying them on a daily basis. Take some time out of your daily routine implementing them and experience the results yourself. Remember, results are never immediate and they take time. These are also the keys to achieving more MLM success in 2012.
MLM Success Exercise #1 – Affirmations
One of the easiest exercises that you can implement TODAY to achieve more MLM success is affirmations. Affirmations are really simple – It is ONE short line that you say to yourself for a whole 5 minutes every single day. It has to be said in the positive, and not the negative. Lastly, it also has to be said as though you are already achieving that result. For example “I AM fit and in great shape.” rather than saying “I am going to be fit and have a great body.” or “I am not going to be fat.”
Remember that what your mind focuses on expands, and if you focus on the negative, the universe will only give you that which you asked for. +Continue Reading
One challenge that most network marketers face when they join their MLM business opportunity is having enough money to support them, especially in the early stages. Therefore, it is very important to understand that there are several ways you can make money online if you want to succeed in this industry.
Making More Money In Your MLM Business Opportunity with Affiliate Marketing
By building a list of loyal followers to the content that you provide, people will trust you and give you permission to promote products to them. This gives you the opportunity to sign up for affiliate products and promote them to your list, provided that they are useful.
If the products that you recommend are valuable and helps someone in their MLM business opportunity, there is a high likelihood that they will trust you even more and become repeat buyers of future products that you may promote. If you promote crappy products, you lose their trust.
Check out my post on Affiliate Network Marketing – What Is It? if you would like to find out more about what exactly is affiliate marketing.
If you haven’t already known, I recently participated in the Top 50 MLM blogs contest and I got 22nd place! I also wrote a post on Where To Find The Best Network Marketing Blogs? during that period. Of course, the reason why I am sharing this information with you is not because I wish to boast, but rather to share the lessons that I picked up from the Top 50 MLM blogs contest. Firstly, I am definitely very honored to be recognized as one of the top bloggers in this industry, and I definitely could not have done it without all those people who supported me during the past couple of weeks.
So let’s get down to the lessons I picked up from the Top 50 MLM Blogs contest!
Top 50 MLM Blogs Contest Lesson #1
Despite having achieved results in the contest, I know that I can do better and that I have a long way to go to helping more people. Monsters like Ray Higdon got over 500 votes, while I got over 50! Given that Ray is also one of the most respected leaders in this industry today, I can safely say that I will have to be influencing more people if I wish to achieve the success he has and helping more people.
The great thing about the Top 50 MLM blogs contest is that it also shows you how much reach you currently have in this industry, and I am very glad that people know me and read my blog. I always aim to post only valuable content so that my readers can come back again and gain more knowledge for their business to apply.
Top 50 MLM Blogs Contest Lesson #2
Engagement is one of the key ways to succeed and I definitely have to engage more people in this industry. Engaging means reaching more people, which leads back to lesson 1 that I picked up from the Top 50 MLM Blogs contest. Engagement also means keeping in touch with the people that you currently have formed relationships with or you may lose touch over time.
Therefore, I have to involved with engaging more people more regularly if I wish to achieve more success in this industry and help more people.
Top 50 MLM Blogs Contest Lesson #3
Now with that being said, I got disappointed during the contest because there were a few individuals who were trying to get more “votes” for themselves by outsourcing to comment and vote for them as “different” people. Yes, the Top 50 MLM Blogs contest is definitely a very prestigious contest as it signifies who are the upcoming stars in the industry, and who are the active bloggers.
It is sad to see that people would actually stoop to such methods to try and win the contest and gain “fame” for themselves. The truth is that the results of the contest is not going to help you with your MLM business, but rather it is a measure of the success you currently have with it. If you are not getting genuine votes, then you will try to find ways to cheat people in this industry. This will definitely not help with your reputation and you always want to operate your business on a honest level.
With that being said, I definitely have a long way to go in helping more people, and being a more engaging blogger. This past year has been a great year, but I can only go up from here or my efforts would have gone down the drain. Once again, I thank all those who voted me, and I wish to have more people vote for me next year for the Top 50 MLM Blogs contest.
So today’s post is going to bring you back to basics, Blogging for Beginners. I am going to be sharing a few things you can do as a “beginner” who is looking to start blogging in the network marketing industry. There are definitely many questions that you want to get answered such as how to set up a blog, what should you blog about and many others which I myself had when I was starting out.
Blogging For Beginners: Which Platform Should I Blog On?
There are many free platforms out there that you can post your blog on such as WordPress.com, Blogger.com or even Tumblr. However, my personal opinion is that you should have a blog hosted on your own website – You will need a hosting, domain and then install your blog on it (which I will not be covering in this blog post). The main advantage of having a blog hosted on your own site is you are allowed to do whatever with it and never have to feel threatened that you site might be taken down any time.
My personal recommendation would be to install WordPress on your website. Note, this is not the same as redirecting your site to a blog on WordPress.com.
Blogging For Beginners: How Should I Design My Blog?
This is a question that many beginners ask when they should be asking “How should I deliver my content?” Yes, my blog
may look very fanciful and professional such that people have a good impression of me right from the beginning. Let me correct that mindset, imagine if you came on to my blog and I did not have any content – Would you still have the same credibility for me?
If you want to get your blog designed, make sure it is free from any banner ads or adsense. Banner ads will not help you earn any revenue as you will not have much traffic, and people are very unlikely to click on your ads. Same goes for adsense, with the little traffic that you have, nobody will click on those ads. Even if they do, you will not earn much money so do not be blinded by the income you can earn through adsense – It is merely a few cents per click. Also, ads on your website lose your credibility right away as your site would seem more like a classified section, rather than an information central. +Continue Reading
One way to get visitors returning to your blog and reading your content is learning how to improve blog readability. So what exactly is blog readability? It basically means making your blog simple enough for anyone to understand your content and organizing it in such a manner that it is easy on the eyes.
Why Do I Need To Know How To Improve Blog Readability?
It is very important to learn how to improve blog readability for several reasons, one of which as I mentioned earlier, gets people coming back to your blog to read your content, others include improving their time on your site. Imagine if you came to my blog and you could not read anything properly – It would only take you 3 seconds to close the window and go somewhere else. What I am about to share might sound like english lessons that you had in elementary school, but they definitely will help you in your business TODAY.
