Here is a technique that I use for my brick and mortar business as well as my On line business. This offline marketing strategy supports the community as well as your business.

Sponsoring a local sports team often gives children the opportunity to play a team sport that they may otherwise not be able to play due to cost.

The community loves a business that gives back and will keep you in mind when they need whatever service your business may offer.

Another great part about this technique. The teams are usually listed in the paper, when they play, so you get print advertising for FREE!

If you should sponsor a winning team, your business name will be displayed on the front page of the sports section.

You never know if one of those team players or coaches may be interested in becoming part of your business.

I recommend implementing this offline business strategy and increase the awarness of your business in your community.

On Target

 Some of you may know that I am an avid hunter and love to target shoot. I love to shoot targets with my bow and gun and I do have a favorite bow and gun to shoot with. I will speak about my favorite weapons in my marketing arsenal in a minute.

The first rule of target shooting is to identify your target. You identify your target for both safety and accuracy.

Just like marketing on line you need to identify who your target is. On line marketing is a totally different animal than paper, radio or billboard advertising.

Many times this type of marketing is called “shotgun marketing”. They call it “shotgun marketing” because when you shoot a shotgun, many pellets come out of the end of the barrel and scatter in random patterns. You will never know precisely where your shot is going to land. When using newspaper, billboards or radio you can not focus your aim on your intended target.

If you want to shoot a target with any amount of accuracy you would want to choose a rifle. A rifle, when shot, will expel a single bullet and hit exactly where you aim it, if you are experienced with the rifle.

On line marketing is the same way. You will want to identify your target and use a weapon with great accuracy.

Keyword research is your weapon of accuracy and how you will identify your target.

The prospect you are trying to acquire will search the internet using specific key words.

 Let’s stay with the gun analogy. Say you market a hand gun and it is a 32 caliber and it is brand xyz. The first thing you want to do is research keywords related to 32 caliber and brand xyz.

I use Google Adword Tool to conduct my research. The tool is free and it will give you suggestions on other highly searched keywords related to your original keyword. This is a very powerful tool and can really narrow down your target.

Put your keyword or words in the adword tool and look at the results. You will see which keywords relate to your original keyword and you will see the amount of searches done for those keywords, on a global level.

Now look at the keywords with the most searches and conduct a Google search on those keywords.

On the upper right hand corner of the screen you will see the number of results competing for that particular keyword.

I have found that I can get top ranking when the results show 10 million results or less. I have not tried keywords with over 10 million organic results but I will as I hone my marketing skills.

The next thing you need to do when you have the keywords you want to target is create some content. Your content can be a article or maybe a video. I use a combination of the two to dominate the keywords I choose.

Once you create your content you need to get it distributed on the Internet. I use an awesome software that helps me distribute my articles to 300 different article sites. This software will get you top ranking almost overnight.

I will then create a video discussing the article I just created. I use a distribution service that will distribute my video to various sites and I have seen top ranking in as little as two hours..

Keyword research, article marketing and distribution are my favorite weapons to hit my target accurately and consistently.

Utilize these weapons in your marketing arsenal and you will see dramatic results in your business.

We all know that Facebook is the fastest growing social media site on the planet. So that means you can have an inexhaustible amount of leads.

The trick is how do you get those leads? I will give you some basics on how to begin to attract leads to your business on Facebook.

#1 The first mistake new and experienced marketers make is promoting their opportunity out in front. Newbies tend to blast their website and opportunity to any new friend they add to their list.
This type of activity turns most people away.

When I am sent a friend request with a message telling me about their awesome opportunity, I always ignore the request. I am a marketer myself and I do not like to be sold. I know most folks feel the same way. Facebook is a social site, so you first need to socialize. Get to know one another, develop a relationship and build trust. Once that trust is established then the time to present your opportunity will present it self. The conversation will always lead to “What is it that you do?” That is the time to present your opportunity. I know this is different than what your up line trained you to do. I’m sure you were told to talk to everyone about your awesome product and opportunity. That may or may not work for your off line efforts but I will tell you that it certainly does not work in your on line efforts.

#2 Bring value to the on line community. This goes back to #1, instead of constantly posting your business opportunity 20 times a day, post some educational material or links to one of your blog posts. Create some content that will help others build their on line business. This will help position you as a leader and not as a spammer. I’m telling you this because I had to learn this lesson for myself. It didn’t take me long to learn I wasn’t getting any results by posting my business opportunity 20 times a day.. I then learned what Attraction Marketing was all about. I learned I had to add value to the community then people would be Attracted to what I had to say. When the trust was established then I could talk about my opportunity. I know this goes against traditional marketing but traditional marketing doesn’t work in the on line arena.

#3 Target your prospects.
If you are looking to build your mlm business using Facebook you will want to connect with other mlm people. Why should you connect with other mlm people? We all know that this is a tough business and that 97% will quit within the first year. That is where your value comes in. If you can share with someone how to get a few leads you have given them more than their sponsor ever has. Do you think that person you helped might want to listen to what you have to say. When you can show them how to get results they will eventually follow you. This means the more value you provide them the more they see you as a leader and will do whatever you want them to do. Primarily join YOUR opportunity!

#4 Join groups. Look for groups that are formed for network marketing. Use the search feature in Facebook and search for mlm, network marketing or specific mlm companies. When you find a group that you want to target, go to the members button to see everyone that is involved in the group. Begin by hitting “Add as a Friend” button. When the window opens you will see “Send a personal Message”. Click on that link and a message box will open. Type in a short note, then hit “Send Message”. You will get a better response by typing a note. Especially if you looked at the intended friend’s profile and make a comment about something in their profile. It could be as simple as “Nice profile. I like to connect with like minded people. Want to exchange ideas on how to build our business? Have a great day!” Never plug your business opportunity in the friend request note. I try to connect with 50 people a day using this method.

I’ve just given you 4 tips that bring me daily leads from Facebook.

Please feel free to adopt these techniques in your on line marketing efforts.

Is your up-line telling you that On-line marketing doesn’t work? Are they saying, “Do not listen to those On-Line marketers.”?If your up-line is telling you to stay away from the Internet, you better think twice about your up-line. If your up-line is telling you to stay away from on-line marketing they are probably scared. They are probably scared that you may meet other successful on-line marketing leaders and and may loose you to another opportunity. I can understand their concern but you have to find out what works for your business. It is your future on the line, so take care of your business as you see fit. Today’s marketing is changing dramatically and the old school ways are not as effective. Now don’t get me wrong, you also need to practice off-line marketing as well. I do both on-line marketing and off-line marketing. Do not let your up-line limit you to one strategy. After all it is your business.

Now I see that some companies are now giving their distributors some tools to market on-line. Some of those tools include replicated websites and capture pages. These are good tools as long as they are used correctly. The first rule on On-line marketing is: Brand YOU. You must market “You Incorporated.” What I mean by branding “You Incorporated” is this: do not blast your business opportunity out of the front.

We are marketing in the Social web 2.0 era, so you must first socialize with your prospects. You must show your prospects that you are going to help them build their business. You are asking, “Why would I want to help someone else build their business?” Because to market on-line effectively you must have a sales funnel. What is a sales funnel? A sales funnel is a system of tools that include, In depth training, affiliate programs, video marketing, auto responders, capture pages, lead statistics, etc…

The affiliate programs portion of the system is what will allow you to make money while building your primary business. This is why you want to help people build their business, because your prospects will use some of your affliate programs thus allowing you to make money to keep you in the game while you build your primary business. When you look around at the marketers that are making serious money, on the internet, notice that they are not blasting their opportunity. They are offering FREE marketing tips.

  Is your up-line asking you to train each and every recruit you bring on board?  If you are spending time with each recruit where do you get the time to build your own business?If you are conducting training 2 to 3 times a week and have a full time job, where do you find time to get new recruits?

Here is the solution.  You need to embrace the Internet.  You have to bring your business online and become a Professional Network Marketer on the Internet.

There are systems in place that include video trianing on social marketing. ie: Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Youtube, blogging etc… These are systems that will show you how to brand yourself as a leader in the industry.  You can plug your recruits into the system and they will be taken step by step through the system.  They will learn from the very top people in this industry and you don’t have to use your time to train your recruits. I suggest that through this process you remain in contact with your recruits.  They will still look to you for guidence.

This system will allow to free up your time by using the internet. This is called leverage.  The system will take care of tasks that you would normally have to repeat over and over again. This is improtant because it gives you time to do the things you want to do.  Afterall you decided on network marketing for freedom didn’t you?  How much freedom do you have when you are meeting with people everynight, attending your company meetings?

Let technology do the heavy lifting for you. Just plug yourself and your recruits into the system and let it do the training for you!
