How important is Self Confidence in Attraction Marketing?

Self Confidence is one of the most important aspects of Attraction Marketing. A person who shows self confident is far more attractive than one who appears to have low self esteem.

But it doesn’t mean that if we don’t have Self Confidence we are better off not trying to attract people. Attraction Marketing helps building that Self Confidence through the acquirement and practice of skills.

What if you already have low Self Esteem? How do you turn that around?

I’ve paid attention to a couple of moms during the last few days.

One is very worried about the excess baby weight, feels bad about herself and doesn’t like her new body at all. Moms know that feeling. It can take a long time to get back the pre-baby body. It can be a roller coaster. It’s hard to be patient and very easy to place our worth in our physical appearance instead of who we really are.

I felt sorry and wanted to help her.

The other mom looks very happy. She stayed home when her youngest son was born and is back to work. Whether wearing her working clothes or not, she looks very confident. I don’t know if she has issues with her self image because it doesn’t show. She walks straight and looks ahead with security.

I admire her and want to be her friend.

Our emotions and our Self Confidence change from time to time. We all feel Low Self Esteem sometimes. It can be extra weight, the lack of professional satisfaction or any other reason.

But we also have the power to build up Self Esteem and Self Confidence, even in the midst of a Low period. We have to recognize our insecurities and our potential, be positive and smile, look at the things that we do have instead of resenting the ones we don’t, remember our goals and our accomplishments, etc.

Who do you want to be? I want to be the mom with Self Confidence that Attracts people.

Can you generate your own leads (for real)?

The simple answer is "yes, you can generate your own leads". The tricky part is HOW?

There are many e-books, training programs, systems, webminars, etc. that can teach you how to generate your own leads online. Sometimes the hardest part is to choose what leaders to follow. That is why everyone offers information for free. When you come upon a website about Internet Marketing, the chances of getting free valuable information are high.

Actually, any good leader has to offer value first. That is how you get to know her or him. You can sign in for her or his Newsletter or Training program and you will receive more free information. At some point they will offer you paid information (e-books, affiliates, a system, etc). If you know what they give for free, you can only imagine the value of paid info.You don't have to buy everything from everybody or be part of every system. Once you know the leaders and have learned something valuable from them, you can decide if you want to be part of their network.

And that is exactly what you, in turn, have to do to generate your own leads: Give value first with a blog or another personal website, have a way to capture your readers' contact information to keep in touch with them, and follow up. It's been said that the fortune is in the follow up.

The way to follow up is by having an Autoresponder service. I use and recommend Aweber but it's not the only one.

One thing that I'm loving, especially these months when I am focusing on my mom and niece who are visiting from Peru, is how powerful a blog can be. For example, some of my posts and articles are in the first pages of Google and other Search Engines for their keyword. I get visitors from there. I'm also part of Social Media websites so when I participate in them my links are there and I can get more visitors.

I get visitors for old posts. They are in the web technically forever and can generate leads for me once and again.

How do you generate your own leads? Leave a comment about it.

Internet Network Marketing and Home Parties, Part 2

In the first part I talked about how offering value is a common feature for success in Internet Network Marketing and Home Parties. In this part we will see a similitude between Internet Network Marketing and Home Parties when the sales happen.

In Online MLM when you have visitors in your website it’s important that they come back. How? Asking for their information! When you have a name and email address you keep sending more value in Newsletters, mini Courses, Special Reports, etc. And you can sell.

When does the sale happen during a Home Party? Usually at the end, right?, when (ideally) everyone is anxious to take their wallets out. They can’t wait to give you their money. They get a good product and you get the sale. It’s a win-win.

Internet Network Marketing and Home Parties are methods to build a Network Marketing business. Both are a process. You give value, establish yourself as a leader, ask your prospects’ information, keep building a relationship (follow up) and earn the right to sell.

When you use Attraction Marketing in any of those methods, you will attract success in Network Marketing.

Internet Network Marketing and Home Parties, Part 1

I've posted before about MLM Online and Home Parties. These are two strategies to build a Network Marketing business and I feel that we can say more about them.

MLM online is taking the Internet like a storm. It’s the new era in Network Marketing. It’s about using Internet as the backbone of your business. It goes beyond sending emails or placing orders. But my guess is that Home Parties will still go strong.

How can they be similar? What do they have in common?

To build a Network Marketing business online we need people looking at our content, Which means, we need to create content and it has to be valuable. We need to earn the right to sell our products, our business or both.

The most successful Home Parties are the ones that offer valuable information. This can be, for instance, in the form of an Awareness Seminar, Spa or Hands-on learning where the guests can see and try the products. They learn how they can benefit from them and can see the value you offer.

Building an MLM business online is no different. You offer value with your content and your visitors may want to come back. They can tell other people about your website by sharing it in Social Media sites. In Home Parties, when one guest invites other, there are chances that she is going to buy again from you when she comes back, and probably the new guest will too. In both cases you earned the right to sell by offering value.

In the second part you’ll see the similitude between Internet Network Marketing and Home Parties when the sales happen. To make sure you get the second part, subscribe to receive my posts in your email.

Blogging tips: Three blogging secrets for Network Marketing Moms Part 2

Blogging is a great way to establish yourself as a leader in your niche, especially when you are using the Internet to build your Network Marketing Business.

Here is the third secret that can help you optimize your search engine (be in the the first pages of Search Engines)

3. Ping, Digg, Social Bookmarking: This is a valuable piece or information. Don’t overlook it and use it!. Every time you have something new in your blog, ping it!.

Pinging is a way to tell several Social Media sites that you have something. It helps with search engines too. Use one of this websites: pingoat.com, pingmyblog.com or ping.in. You only have to add your URL and the FEED URL (I’ll make another post about it), and select the sites you want to send the information to. Believe me, it can make a difference. Make it a habit. It takes less than a couple of minutes.

As for Digg and Social Bookmarking, it takes more time but it’s a great way to put your information in front of more people. You can install Social Bookmark Services in your bar and use it every time you have something new. This Service includes Digg and other websites where people exchange information. Share your own blog posts and other people’s valuable information. Remember that in Attraction Marketing giving is key. When you only give your stuff that is taking!

I hope these secrets helped you. What secret about blogging do you have? Leave a comment to add to this list so we can all benefit!

Now go back to your blog and keep blogging!

Blogging tips: Three blogging secrets for Network Marketing Moms Part 1

Blogging is a great way to establish yourself as a leader in your niche, especially when you are using the Internet to build your Network Marketing Business.

There are three secrets that I want to share here because they help me use my time efficiently and have taken some of my posts to the first pages of Google.

1. Know your keywords and who you are targeting with them: Keywords, like the word estates, are key! They can help you rank way high in the search engines and that in turn helps you with traffic for your blog. Google the keywords “network marketing moms”. I own almost all of the results in the first page. It’s my niche and I work smart to stay there. But I also target other keywords with more traffic.

I’ve given before a link to a great source for keywords: http://vur.me/networkmarketingmoms/digforgold/. It can be time consuming to find a good keyword but this Report really helps you see that sometime we waste time using keywords that don't have traffic. You will need it often.

2. Use your blog like a book: Don’t hesitate in have more than one keyword. Every blog post is like a chapter in a book and it can drive more traffic, even for different target markets. Look up again “home parties or mlm online”, I own the first two or three results. I’m targeting not only moms but network marketers who are interested in Home Parties.

Use one keyword and target it, use another one and target it. Don’t use one keyword and try to give everything to know about other subjects. Concentrate. If your blog’s title is your name, this is even more important.

Be careful not to do opposite either: do not use every blog post for a different keyword. Group them under few categories.

In the second part I'll give you the third secret. If you have one, leave a comment with your secret.

Tip for Affiliate Marketing: Are your affiliate commissions in danger?

One of the advantages of using Online Marketing in your Network Marketing business is the opportunity to use Affiliate Marketing. This allows you to earn money as you build your list of followers and sing up business partners.

You have to offer value and many times this comes from other people’s stuff. Some of this content is free and some is paid. In order for you to make money promoting other people’s paid content, you need an affiliate link.

An affiliate link looks something like this: www.yourname.what-you-promote.com or www.what-you-promote.com/yourname

The reality is that many people don’t like this and take your name out. They go directly to the author’s link. This way you lose your commission. Maybe you have done it too.

One way to protect your affiliate link is to cloak it. This may be a strange concept for you but basically means that you cover your link. What your prospect sees is a link that doesn’t look like an affiliate program. More importantly, if they try to take something out, they won’t be able to go to he content’s page.

If you don’t know how to cloak a link manually (I don’t!), you can use the website below. I find it honest and very useful:

ViralURL

You might be even interested in the profitable side of it.

Monetization in Internet Network Marketing, Part 3: other ways to monetize in Internet MLM and advantages of monetization

One of the best ways to monetize an online MLM business is by offering a high quality information product. By educating people we establish ourselves as leaders. But at the same time, we know who is a qualified prospect. A person who buys something is investing and shows that is willing to work on her business.

Other ways to monetize in Internet Network Marketing can be through advertisement, selling space in our website for other products to me promoted. We can join ventures with other business owners by promoting their stuff to our list and vice versa, someone can offer our products to their lists. It’s using Affiliate Marketing in Network Marketing.

There are different options to monetize from your business when you build MLM online. The obvious advantage is that we are making money while building our organizations. Other advantage is that we can do so by promoting different products that are valuable for our prospects. We are not restricted by our company products.

For instance, as Network Marketing Moms we can promote services or products related to time management, organizational skills, tax benefits, mailing lists, being a business mother, etc.

The concept “multiple streams of income” take a new level with monetization in Internet Network Marketing.

Monetization in Internet Network Marketing, Part 2: Who do you sell to and how.

When you combine Internet and Network Marketing, one of the most important things is to establish yourself as a leader. The way to do this is by having valuable content written or recommended by you.

When you sell a high quality informational and/or educational product, you are monetizing. The prospects come to you; they like what they see and buy something you recommend whether or not they join your MLM opportunity or buy your company’s products. You are still making money even if someone is not in your downline.

But it’s going to take more than one visit to buy something you offer. How can we make someone come back? Asking for a prospect’s information! When they leave their information (name and email, i.e.), we have permission to contact them. This is the way to build a mailing list and with these prospects we build a closer relationship because we are allowed to keep in touch with them. We continue educating them (sometimes even with exclusive information).

Again, they can be or not in our organization. The bigger our mailing list, the bigger our potential for monetization and cash flow is. It doesn’t mean we can sell as soon as we have someone in our list. It means we have an audience who wants to hear from us. They are our costumer base, the ones who are more likely to buy from us because they know we offer value.

In the third and last part of these series I will present other ways we can monetize and some advantages of this feature of Internet Network Marketing.

Monetization in Internet Network Marketing, Part 1: one more reason to consider an MLM business opportunity to supplement your income

This is a series of three posts.

Monetization is one of the advantages of having an online Network Marketing business because you can make money while you are building your organization. It’s not about possible bonuses that your company offers every time you sign some up or your sporadic commission checks. It’s using ways to have cash flow that can be reinvested in the business.

With traditional methods in Network Marketing you can monetize basically when you retail your products or have costumers who buy over and over from you (it doesn’t mean this is the only way but the most common one). Maybe you know stories of parties that resulted in several hundred dollars in sales in only one night.

And when you have a loyal costumer base, it is easier to sell new products to them. But what if you have other products that are not your company’s? Would it be ethical to do that? What problems would you encounter to proceed?

This concept of monetization takes a twist when you use Internet Network Marketing. When you build an MLM business online you are not offering your opportunity or your company products from the beginning because you are first educating people in how to build a business. This way you can offer different products that will benefit your prospects.

In the next part of these series we will go over more details in who do you sell to and how.

Attraction Marketing for Network Marketing Moms

Attraction marketing is based in the concept of making a sales experience the most pleasant one for the buyer. It can be applied to any kind of business, not only Network Marketing. What makes a business attractive is its capacity to create costumers for life, not only monthly sales. It can be the good organization of the products, the music played in the background, the variety or exclusivity of merchandise, the knowledge of the representatives and their willingness to help, etc.

In Network Marketing what attracts people is our capacity to solve their problems, our leadership. People are attracted to a good leader (I know I am), a knowledgeable person who can help them build a business, have costumers, create business partners and ultimately, make money.

Network Marketing Moms are problem solvers already. We face challenges constantly and we have to be ready to respond in creative and efficient ways. We have to be able to recognize the problem first and then look for the right solution. And we have that ability. Sometimes the problem is not that there is nothing to eat but that we ran out of their favorite snack. Other times the problem is not that the clothes don’t fit well but that they don’t really like them. You get the picture.

In Network Marketing, attraction marketing is based in that ability to solve problems because when we positioned ourselves as knowledgeable leaders who know how to build a business, we attract people looking for our solutions. So, start showing that you know.
