In a nutshell Facebook ads and Google Pay Per Click both fall into the same advertising category. This  refers to a form of marketing that is designed to get a direct response which is specific and measurable.

There are some similarities between Google and Facebook advertising but there are just as many differences. I’d like to encourage you to read a post titled “Facebook Ads vs Google PPC” written by  my friend Derek Alvarez in  which he covers the advantages and disadvantages of each very efficiently.

Should YOU be considering this strategy for MLM lead generation purposes?

Whether you should bother with Facebook advertising or not will depend on your own unique set of circumstances but I wanted to share my views with you about this.

Let me be quite up front here when I say I have personally not done any Facebook advertising yet.

In all likelihood my reluctance  will have  been colored by an earlier experience. When I first started marketing online I opted for Google PPC as advised by a sponsor.  This would have been fine had he known what he was doing. Hmmm mental note to self…

Needless to say I was battered around like a paper kite in a thrashing storm at sea. Then came a certain 12 hour period when I ‘gave’ the ‘mighty G’, $500 for not a single lead. Game over!  At this time $500 was my my entire marketing budget for two months so the effect was somewhat severe.

Google’s fault? Absolutely not.

PPC requires that you have a substantial budget to spend especially when you are learning. It also requires that you take time to learn the complexities involved and that you be able to change strategy as quickly as Google changes.

More than this it requires you to be or become a numbers person, someone who enjoys tracking and statistics. I am simply not this way inclined which means I was ignorant and easy bait.

I believe you should consider Facebook advertising on the Internet if:

• you want to venture into this kind of advertising and have less of a budget than required by Google.
• you want to learn aspects of direct response marketing in a more controlled environment.
• you have a very clear idea of who it is you want to target and what the measurable response is you require.
• want to try this type of advertising in a less competitive market than Google.
• you’re not focusing on any other major marketing strategy right now.
• you know someone who is already using Facebook advertising who can show you how to be successful

So how do you feel about Facebook advertising? Maybe you already use it in which case I’d love to hear about your experiences so please leave me a comment.

If you enjoyed this post I’d appreciate it if you could share it on your social networks. Thank you.

That’s great but do you know what to do with them ?

Whenever I ask people what they need to know more about,  I frequently hear “how to generate more leads”.  It’s a fact that we require more leads than we usually expect we will need, however MLM lead generation is only the first step towards success.

Do you connect with your fresh MLM leads?

If you are not prospecting leads, then you may as well stop generating them now because you are just fooling yourself, wasting yours and others time and probably a lot of money too.

The only way we get paid in this industry is if we connect with our leads and convert them to sales. This is otherwise known as mlm recruiting or network marketing prospecting. Personally I prefer the term, “connecting” because that’s exactly what we are doing.

Some people get stuck at this point and I was one of them until I learned how to prepare myself. I had to learn to overcome this barrier.  This is how I did it and what you might need to do too.

Preparing yourself for prospecting leads:

1. Give this area of your business as much if not more attention than MLM lead generation.
2. Ensure that you have the right sub conscious beliefs about yourself and what you have to offer. Remember beliefs are not what you say you believe necessarily but are always reflected in your actions.  If you find it almost impossible to speak to leads then there is a very good chance your beliefs are not supporting you and they will have to be overhauled.  This may require more conscious personal development or even require some work at a sub conscious level.
3. You have  to learn and understand the psychology of prospecting. This means understanding how others think and respond and knowing the best way to communicate with them. This is not something you will just know. You will need to learn how to do it. I suggest any Jefferey Combs training or Mike Dillard’s  Black Belt Recruiting
4. You must have an approach and strategy prepared. This is not a sales pitch or a script but rather knowing how to start and direct a conversation to its logical conclusion. Find someone to role play this with until you are comfortable with your approach.
5. Now practice it on every lead you get. Make your goal to practice the strategy not sign someone up and the results will come as you get better at it.

Further Training

My friend Jordan Schultz has written an awesome blog post on this subject in which he gives you some great practical tips for prospecting leads. I suggest you read this by clicking on his name.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about prospecting leads so please leave me a comment. If you enjoyed this post I’d appreciate it if you could share it on your social networks  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!

I’m not a numbers  type person at all. How do I know this? Pure experience!  When I did a Psychology degree I breezed through all my courses except for statistics. Not only did it take a few attempts but even when I eventually passed I still had no idea what I was doing.

I tell you this so that you’ll understand that when I first started marketing online and anybody mentioned campaign tracking or anything that vaguely sounded like a statistic I was off  like a  shot to focus elsewhere.

Fortunately I got over my ‘numbers phobia’ essentially because my curiosity was greater than my fear. Statistics provide crucial information for us so that we can better master mlm lead generation and list building so the answer to the question above is a resounding YES!

You must collect statistics about your blog. When you act on the information you collect then you’ll take responsibility for moving your blog forward. The good news is that it’s really easy to do and by the end of this post you’ll be able to take action  if haven’t already done so.

Why do you want to collect blog statistics?

• Firstly it will do wonders for your self esteem when you know for sure your blog is being visited and read by others.
• You’ll know how many people are visiting your site every day and where they’re coming from so you can attract them back again.
• So you’ll have an idea of where your blog is placed in the “blogosphere” of millions!
• You’ll find out which items and topics are most popular so you can focus on these areas in the future.
• You’ll be able to tweak the posts that aren’t that popular to perform better in search engines.
• You’ll be able to measure your results from implementing specific strategies like the free tribe strategy I advocate.

How should you go about collecting statistics?

There are many tools to choose from but here are a few of the most popular ones to implement. These are all free to use.

• Alexa – This is one of the most popular. You’ll be able to install a widget on your blog for others to see and if you use Firefox you can install an add on that allows you to measure all other site’s rankings in your toolbar.
• Google Analytics – Goes without saying as it’s one of the stalwarts when it comes to statistics.
• Awstats – You should be able to access this or a similar tool in the C-panel of your hosting account. Once turned on, your hosting provider will automatically collect stats for you. This is my favorite tool to use. Note – you will need to look for this in your C-panel, probably under the tab of ‘logs’.
• WordPress.com Stats -  A free plug in that collects a huge amount of useful information. You can also find this by searching it for it in the plug ins section in the admin area of your blog.
• Statpress – The first real-time WordPress plugin dedicated to the management of statistics about blog visits. It collects information about visitors, spiders, search keywords, feeds, browsers etc.
• Google Webmaster Tools
• Feedburner

There are many other tools to use and you certainly don’t need to use more than two or three.   Once installed simply determine whether the tool you are using gives you a more positive outcome when the numbers go up  or down and then evaluate your progress.

The real value however lies in looking at the detail about you blog that will be provided by the statistics.

You want people to follow you and work with you and they will only do this when they like you, can learn from you and trust you. How do you get people to this point?

Simply befriend them then be who you are and offer them massive value unconditionally. Over time if the friendship is meant to be, it will unfold naturally because you resonate sufficiently with them. This is not going to be the case for everyone you meet. We connect with some people and not with others which is just a fact of life.

Another fact of life is that some people are far better at making friends than others. Go to any party and you’ll be able to pick out those who do this with ease from those who cling to the walls in terror, desperately willing someone  to come up to them first.

Some give this a label – “I’m just shy.” So fine, you’re shy and if you accept this label then you had better also accept that you’re more than likely going to miss out on many things in life including a successful MLM business, so get rid of the label and learn how not to be shy.

I’m going to share a simple friend making technique with you here which if you will apply and practise can have you making more friends than you will know what to do with. This will work online as well as in person because the principle remains the same, just adapt it to suit your needs.

YOU must make the first move, so  step up and be the leader that you can be. If the thought of this makes you feel faint then it’s only because  it’s outside your comfort zone. This won’t change until YOU change it, so accept that it will feel uncomfortable until you have done it a few times and do it anyway.

Here’s the deal -  people will like you instantly if you can make them feel good about themselves. An effective way to do this is to pay them a compliment but you have to do it in a certain way. What I’m going to share with you I first heard in a presentation by people skills expert,  Alan Pease and I think it’s just brilliant.

There are only three things you can compliment -  someones appearance, behavior or something they own. If you don’t know them at all I suggest you keep your compliments to possessions. Some people find more personal compliments very uncomfortable to receive but you will have to play this one by ear.

• Always use a person’s name in the compliment if you know it.
• Always tell people what you like followed by the reason why. For example: “Jack, that blue shirt really suits you because it compliments your eyes.”
• Always finish with an open ended question that will get them talking.  So, “Jack, that blue shirt really suits you because it compliments your eyes. Tell me, how do you usually select your shirts?” An open question is one that requires a lengthy answer and not just a yes or no.
• Once the person starts talking, listen carefully so you can pick up on what they say to move the conversation forward.  Now you have an “in” and all you have to do is find out what you have in common with them which could strengthen the bond further.

I suggest you try this technique out in a safer environment first, perhaps with some friends for example. Get in the habit of  quickly looking for something positive about people’s appearance, behavior or something they own and then simply frame it as above. Take care not to overdo it in a small group or else you could sound ridiculous.

When you feel more comfortable with this try it with a stranger, perhaps in an elevator or while standing in a queue. Then step it up and try it at bigger gatherings — parties, networking meetings etc.  Make sure you approach the person confidently but don’t come across too strong. You might start by saying, “Excuse me but I’ve just noticed that you have a lovely….”

Whatever you do don’t start pitching your business opportunity the second you have paid the compliment. You will ruin everything you have been trying to establish and you will definitely destroy any chance of trust between you. Personally I only bring up what I do when they ask me. This may be at the same meeting or 6 months down the line. When they do it means they are ready to hear what you have to say.

Happy complimenting!!

I’d love to hear what your thoughts are about complimenting others? Have you tried it? Does it work? Do  you have any other tips?

So what makes a network marketing millionaire?

Network marketing millionaires all have success stories to tell and without fault they all appear to have done much the same things to get them to this level of success.

Here are the top seven secrets of network marketing millionaires which I have found to be common to all those I have studied.

Secret 1: Millionaires set BIG goals: They have a clear picture about what is they want and they believe they can achieve these.

Secret 2: Millionaires visualize their goals daily: It has been said that whatever you can imagine clearly enough, is possible to manifest. Those who become successful can always see and feel their success before it happens.

Secret 3: Millionaires continually work on themselves: They learn how to effectively manage their emotions through personal development so they are able to make better decisions more often than most other people.

Secret 4: Millionaires concern themselves with income producing activities: This means generating leads , connecting with these leads as people and solving their problems.

Secret 5: Millionaires mastermind with successful people: They surround themselves with other positive, like-minded supportive people because they understand and learn from each other in this way.

Secret 6: Millionaires expect to be leaders: They don’t wait till they are millionaires before they stand up and stand out. They are proactive Alpha leaders right from the start.

Secret 7: Millionaires use systems: They use an effective attraction marketing system which frees them up so they don’t have to ‘sweat the small stuff’ and more importantly, it helps them to become ‘the hunted’ rather than being ‘the hunter’.

Some believe that to be a millionaire in network marketing you have to strike luck. On the subject of luck, Oprah Winfrey one of the world’s wealthiest women said “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.” The above seven secrets constitute the kind of preparation millionaires take. Together with opportunity this produces the result that creates unlimited wealth.

The real secret however is that they do all of these things all of the time until they achieve their objective. The good news is that all millionaires do these things before they become millionaires so YOU are in the right place to do exactly what they did. All you need to do is take massive action consistently, never give up and you can have whatever you want in life including becoming a millionaire.

I’d love to hear what you think about these secrets and whether becoming a millionaire is important to you so please leave me a comment and spread the word by clicking the “Bookmark and Share” button below, or by sharing it on Facebook & re-tweeting it on Twitter above.

Easy MLM? ‘Easy’ meaning requiring no great labor or effort. I don’t believe such a thing exists however before you click away from this post in disgust  and rush off to find the  magic elsewhere, let me say that I do believe there’s an easier way to be successful in MLM and by the end of this post I’ll help you to know exactly what it is you must do to jump-start your business so you can start achieving the success you want.

First you need to understand that you will only ever apply the valuable information I’m going to share with you if you give up chasing “easy MLM” and you’ll only do this when you understand why continuing with this madness is a total waste of your time and money.

Nothing makes me more angry than when I come across people in our industry who proclaim how easy MLM is – what a load of old codswallop! If it was, how come only 3% of those who get involved ever become successful? If it was, how come everybody else hasn’t given up their jobs to have MLM businesses so they can laze around on paradise beach with all the money and time in the world? If it was, how come you’re reading this post?

The sooner you accept that anything worth pursuing that you don’t  already know how to do (like being successful in MLM) is going to involve learning outside your comfort zone, the sooner you’ll allow yourself to face it and get on with it. This process means YOU WILL encounter challenges and only when you have overcome these will you have gathered the experience  required to know how to do whatever it is you have been learning to do. It does not matter whether you want to learn a new language, learn to play a musical instrument, climb Mt Everest or become successful in MLM, the process is the same. Can you do it? Of course you can as long as you don’t expect unrealistic results in an unrealistic time frame. 

Get this guys…… what’s easy for one person is not necessarily easy for another. We are all unique individuals and even if you are capable of learning the skills to do something you will also have to apply these consistently to achieve success. Doing this is another matter all together because applying skills depends on your own unique nature and unfortunately this part often lets us down until we learn how to manage our emotions and unconscious behavior. This is not easy! It takes time, effort and persistence. Remember too that everything is easy when you already know how to do it but that does not mean it’s easy before you know how to do it.

MLM is simple but it’s not easy! What I mean is that learning how to do it is not complicated but applying what you learn is challenging.   So what then will make it easier?

• Treat your business like a business and not a hobby or lottery ticket. Commit time and effort to it.
• Work on yourself by doing as much personal development as you can. Think about aligning yourself with an MLM company that markets personal development. This way you’ll get the personal development you need without necessarily having to spend additional money. This will equip you to deal with the challenges ahead and you’ll also develop yourself into the leader you must become to be successful.
• Use a simple but effective non company specific, Internet based marketing system that you can plug your team into so they can become successful as soon as possible. Using the leveraging power of the Internet is a far easier way to attract leads than using offline strategies. This system must provide training, customizable marketing tools, sorting and management of leads and  a way for you to fund your business even before anybody joins your primary income opportunity.  Using a system like this will mean you won’t run out of leads or money to operate your business

If you’re struggling to make any real money with your MLM Business, stop chasing ‘easy MLM’ and apply the above points. If you’d like to know more about the the simple marketing system I use which will easily teach you about lead generation, how to build your own opt in list, generate immediate cash flow and build your primary opportunity all on complete auto pilot, then take a look at MLM Traffic Magnet.

So what are your thoughts about easy versus simple MLM? Do you think there’s a difference and what makes it easier for you?

In This Industry Everybody Needs Network Marketing Help At Some Point

One of the fastest and most effective ways to do this is to find yourself a coach and mentor.  This means finding someone with whom you resonate and trust and who will help you get what you want.  Here’s some valuable advice about what to look for in a coach and more specifically how using one can benefit you in your business.

Finding the right coach…

is no different to finding the right dentist or hairdresser which simply means you must be totally comfortable with whoever you choose. You need to like and trust them, align with their values, appreciate the way in which they work and be ready to take action under their guidance.

You don’t necessarily need to find someone who is marketing the way you want to because a genuine coach will be able to guide  you regardless.  However I have always found it easier to work with someone who fully understands what it is I want to achieve and this is usually easier when we are both on the same wavelength.

Coaches work in various ways and the associated costs can vary from zero to extremely pricey. Before taking a decision about who to choose, find out as much as you can about them and agree to having one session first to evaluate whether they are a best fit before locking yourself into lengthy contracts.

A coach can help you by -

• clarifying what is important to you in your business.
• identifying underlying problems you may be having.
• suggesting tools and ways to be successful that have worked for them.
• assisting you to set goals and write supporting actions.
• answering your questions or helping you find the network marketing help you need.
• finding ways to cut down the time it takes to get things done.
• being a sounding board for your ideas and plans.
• encouraging and motivating you when you are feeling disillusioned.
• holding you accountable to your word.
• celebrating your successes with you.

In short…

an effective MLM coach and mentor can often provide a short cut to success in this industry.  For example, one of the most common problems many network marketers experience is not having enough leads to speak to about their business. If this describes your situation then finding a coach who can help you solve this will be essential to your success.

Do you need some Network Marketing Help especially with generating leads?  Do you want to learn how you can generate 20-50 targeted leads every day and have masses of people lining up to learn from you and join you in your business?  Fill your details in the form below and I’ll teach you exactly how I’m doing this and how you can too.
