There’s a right way and a wrong way to monetize your  network marketing blog.

The purpose of your blog is to “promote you” not vomit your products and services at every poor unsuspecting visitor.

Why should strangers visiting your blog  be dying to take out their credit cards? They won’t be.

It might happen from time to time but it’s highly unlikely. There’s no good reason why they should because…

People buy from those they know, like and trust!

Having a blog positions you perfectly to make this happen through what is known as  attraction marketing. When you have built a relationship with someone then there is a very good chance that they will buy from you down the line. Just as it takes time for a good friendship to develop between people, so the same is true when it comes to business relationships

Nobody likes to be sold to!

Make sure your network marketing blog is not a sales page disguised as a blog.  If you must inform people about the mlm products and services you use, then instead of having endless banner ads screaming at people, put these on a separate resources page and provide value on the page about why you recommend these tools.

If your blog “vomits BUY ME!”… there’s a good chance people will not stay to see what you have to offer or they won’t come back again and you will have lost a potential customer for life.

Monetize your blog subtly

Do this by writing balanced and useful mlm product reviews and reviews about mlm companies which link to the products you recommend.

When you write a post and refer to a product  or service you use, link the word to that product or service so if someone wants to find out more they can click on the word and be taken to the site in a new window.

Use your blog as an entry point to your marketing funnel

Ideally use your blog to capture people’s details so that they can be added to your list building activities from where you can develop an ongoing relationship with them through email marketing.

The most efficient way to do this is to have an organized marketing funnel into which people can be added.

This starts with providing them with a free gift of value in return for their contact details. Then as you provide further value, so you drip feed them information about products and services you are using which they will need to use anyway. As they learn to trust you so they will buy these via your recommendations over time.

Creating a marketing funnel on your own is possible but why re-invent wheel?

It takes a huge amount of expertise  and money to develop an effective marketing funnel. You are better off using an attraction marketing system like My Lead System Pro which provides scientifically tailored marketing funnels for you to customize and use at will.

The very best way to monetize your blog?

Use your network marketing blog as a platform to become a credible and trusted resource. When people connect with you because of this they will naturally be keen to use whatever you use.

Take yourself back to the gold rush of yesteryear and think about how miners would have searched for gold, then you’ll have all the prospecting tips you need to be successful at mlm lead generation on Facebook too.

Would miners have just started digging in any old place? It’s highly unlikely as this would have been a total waste of time. I feel confident they would have targeted areas known to have gold deposits for starters and there would have been a process to uncover this.

Diggers would have worked carefully, systematically and consistently to chip away at  the rock in order to find what they were looking for. This would have been followed by a great deal of sorting. Perhaps in amongst all the mined rock, they would have found a small amount of gold which if they were fortunate enough  may have been of a high enough grade to be valuable.

The point is that that finding gold in this way required a process. There were no short cuts. The same is true for prospecting one on one with anybody, anywhere, including on Facebook.

Unfortunately few people really get this. I mostly come across two types of miners  – those who have no idea where the gold is so they just dig anywhere. These are the people who can’t resist sending you  link burdened messages about how their opportunity is just what you need to solve your every problem. Really? How would they know since they know nothing about you?

Then there are those who have half got it. They connect with you on a personal level, well at least for a couple of messages anyway. Then comes a message which is usually polite and without links. It provides an explanation about how whatever it is they are involved with has changed their life and why you will definitely benefit from knowing about it. The message usually ends  with them asking your permission to move to the next step. The problem is they still have no idea about whether this is something you need.

Here then is the mining for gold process on Facebook:

Firstly decide what it is you have to offer someone that is NOT a business opportunity. There is no shortage of business opportunities  and  none of them will distinguish you from the thousands of others who have them too. What can you personally offer someone else?




Next, work out the possible problems someone in your niche might have and which you can help with what you have to offer.




Identify people in your target group and add them as friends. Make no assumptions about them.




Send them a personal message when you request their friendship which simply suggests that you’d like to get to know them better. If they confirm your request or you theirs, now you are ready to find out whether a dialogue is possible. If they don’t respond to your first mail,  leave it at that and find people who will.




Your aim over a series of messages is to find out as much as you can about the person. The following are examples of the type of questions you would ask. This is NOT a sequential email script! – Where do you live? How long have you lived there? What are your interests? What do you do for a living? How do you market? How is that working out for you? Do you generate your own leads etc.Your questions must be geared to finding out what you need to know to decide whether you can help them or not.




When you have established that they have a problem you might be able to help them with, then you have found some possible gold.  Just how valuable it is will depend on how you match your solution to their problem.

Learn how to develop effective relationships on Facebook and you’ll have great list building tool at your disposal  to grow your network marketing business in a very real way. Happy prospecting!

Following on from my post yesterday in which I suggested the most important thing you can do as a marketer is build a list and develop a relationship with that list, I’ve had a few people ask me to give them some email marketing tips so I thought these may help you too.

Email marketing is often not given the attention it deserves which is a bit short sighted considering it’s our primary list building tool.

Opinions about what works and what doesn’t vary greatly when it comes to email and  what I’m going to cover is by no means a definitive guide.  I suggest you try things out and monitor your percentage of  mail opened and the click through rate. When something works don’t change it and when it doesn’t, well duh……

1.Use an auto responder

OK so you’re thinking this is obvious but believe it or not I still come across people out there who do not want to spend money on this tool. I don’t get it. Would a carpenter be without a saw??? Right so you MUST have this tool. It will save you time, help you to manage your email campaigns and track them.  In my opinion the best one to use is Aweber. The interface is very user friendly and they offer a wide variety of options.

2.Once a day, twice…. more?

I have no idea. Some people love getting emails every day and others hate it and unsubscribe. So what? Personally I think frequent is best so I keep in touch with my list six days a week and sometimes more than once a day. Remember these are people who you want to develop a friendship with. Unless you stay in touch with friends they will go elsewhere. I believe emailing your list frequently is fine as long as you are providing….

3.Value

This means you are not constantly sending out sales letters suggesting they buy the next greatest product you’ve just come across. The principle remains the same -  give more than you take! It’s not very difficult to do this. Some easy value emails to send out include invitations to free marketing webinars as well as setting up your auto responder to send out a mail every time you post to your blog.

4.Personalize, Personalize, Personalize

Does the vast majority of email you receive  look the same? Boring!  If you personalize your mail even in a small way, you will stand out from the crowd and that is something you should be doing with all your marketing. Two simple ways that won’t compromise the integrity of your mail is use a different font, bold a line or two or change the color and add a customized signature like mine on the right. You can do this by signing up for one for free at Wisestamp. You’ll be able to use it for your usual email as well as copy and paste the html to your auto responder  emails.

5.Respect your audience

Remember you are writing to real people, busy people who probably get far too much email anyway. Give them what they want. Ensure your content is relevant, brief and interesting. Learn how to use words creatively, naturally and effectively by learning more about  copy writing.

It would be great to hear what you have to say about email and what your tips are if you have any to share with us. Leave a comment and please spread the word by clicking the “Bookmark and Share” button below, or by sharing it on Facebook & re-tweeting it on Twitter above.

The answer is quite a lot really but what does this have to do with an MLM Blogging Tips post? Everything when you know what these numbers refer to.

Twelve weeks ago the Alexa ranking for this blog was 2,353,877 and today it’s 186,322

Basically the most one ever needs to know about statistics is whether the  upward or downward move is what you want or not. It could be either depending on what’s being measured. For instance if your weight goes up that is usually not that good and of course if it comes down one usually has treason to smile.

In the case of an Alexa ranking the lower the number the better. Sites are ranked according to their criteria against all other included sites  with no 1 being  the site that gets the most traffic.  Now you may be thinking if 1 is the best then 186,322 is not all that good except that ‘s not what’s important here. Of more significance is by how much this number has decreased over time because this means one thing -

increased traffic!!!!!!!

This is exactly  what every site owner wants because provided you know how to channel it, traffic turns into leads. MLM lead generation is a vital component of our business when it comes to list building.When you have a list can y0u build relationships with people and market to them over time.

Another important point to understand about statistics is that it’s always best to use a couple of different measuring methods to get a more accurate picture.

While the specific numbers can go up or down on a daily basis, more important is the emerging trend over time. I have not been keeping statistics on this blog for very long so I can’t show you any over an extended period of time but what I  can show you will nonetheless present a trend.  Traffic to this blog is increasing.

The following graphics show the number of visitors to my blog as determined by the WordPress Statistics plugin.

The above graphic shows the increase in traffic for the month of March and the graphic below shows the upwards trend of traffic from week 6 through 12 of the year.

While this trend is fantastic news, the real value lies in knowing what is responsible for the increase. When one knows what this is then one can ensure that one does more of the same.

In the video below I’ll tell you exactly what I implemented to increase my blog traffic so that you can do the same thing.

Here is the PDF document for you to download containing the information I covered in the video. Take it and take massive  and consistent action and all the results you want will come your way!

If you are not yet marketing on Twitter you are seriously missing out on the fastest growing social media site in the world.  This post is not about Twitter however but about a product that will be invaluable in helping you to add followers to your account. This is absolutely vital to maximize the marketing benefits of Twitter

There are 5 things I especially like about Twitter FriendAdder:

1. It is very easy to install, set up and use.
2. There is a support forum to help you with any questions you may have  and which includes some help documents which can be downloaded.
3. Twitter FriendAdder allows you to drive targeted traffic back to your twitter page through its highly targeted follow function.
4. The program adds and removes followers not following you quickly and easily. Also you can specify how many followers you want added or removed. This is important as you never want to exceed about 100 in any short period of time. If you do, it can lead to your account being shut down.
5. It will save you time as it goes to work in the background while you busy yourself with other marketing activities.

If you are serious about creating a powerful web 2.0 presence then you must use Twitter and you must collect followers fast.

I use Twitter FriendAdder to do this and highly recommend you do too.

Live the life you live and love the life you live!
