Justin who? Something about Marketing and Honesty
In my previous post I mentioned Justin "Beaver" getting arrested. Obviously I don't even know how to spell the last name of the guy.
In my defense though, I have to remind you that English is my second language. And yes, I didn't look his name up (which proves that my husband was doing the online search for my children). Anyway, my apologies to anyone who likes Justin Bieber (there, I spell it right now, I double checked).
In the other hand, I realized that the whole post might offend some people and make others think that I've gone crazy for using such deceiving marketing strategies to create traffic.
My intention was to show how Marketing can work. It is the first time (and I'm pretty sure the last) that I use this strategy. And I don't think I'll even get traffic because I misspelled the last name anyway.
But my goal wasn't to get tons of traffic. My goal was to share a clear and concrete example of how Marketing works.
For some it may be unethical. For some, genius.
You may like or not. You may use it in your business or not.
Personally, I don't like it that much. I thought about deleting the post but I decided to be honest and accept my mistake. Not only in the misspelling but in the way I presented the information.
My intention was to teach you one marketing strategy used not only in MLM but in many other industries. We are all victims of it at some point of our lives.
Marketing (in general, not only Network Marketing or Internet Marketing) appeals to the emotions of people in many levels that we, the public, don't understand completely.
I want to stay honest. And I hope you too.

How Justin Beaver getting arrested can improve your online presence
We just came home from a Baseball game. On our way here one of the DJs said in the radio that Justin Beaver has been arrested. Needless to say, this provoked reactions in my children. They are not big fans so they were actually enjoying the news in bewilderment. Was it true?
The DJs kept saying the same thing every time they came back from commercials but didn’t offer further information. Never said it was for real or a joke.
My husband said “it is what you do to get attention”. He was talking about the radio.
They DJs gave the people’s reaction: Twitter was about to collapse, Skype was bursting, everywhere the adoring Justin Beaver fans where trying to find an explanation.
They just said that if they wanted more information, they needed to go to the website. I already forgot the link, but my children where quick to tell daddy what it was so he could look it up online.
What a marketing strategy! They never said it anything solid about the headline. They just wanted people to go to the website.
And internet marketers can actually learn and capitalize on something like this.
You can learn a way to improve your online presence: give big news and create expectation about it so people can’t help but do what you want them to do. In this case, visit a website.
We can capitalize on news like this by grabbing people’s attention with current news. Once we have people’s attention, we can give information in our area that somehow relates to that.
I have seen, for instance, titles that used keywords like “Michael Jackson’s death” or “American Idol results” that didn’t have to do directly with the subject. It is a way to get traffic because you can be in the first pages of Search Engines fast (at least for a short period of time).
My husband couldn’t find anything about Justin Beaver getting arrested. It seems like the kids didn’t remember the website after all and there is nothing online about it.
What just confirms that it was a marketing strategy to have online visitors. Whatever that website is, I bet it is getting tons of traffic right now.
And I might benefit from it, too.
What else can you do to improve your online presence? Leave a comment about it!

Internet Network Marketing tips: What can we learn from the launch of Shrek and Toy Story 3?
If you haven’t heard anything about the MLM Launch Formula, you might be missing the most powerful and important information that can make your business grow. After reading this post, head over the website of the MLM Launch Formula to see how good Marketing works at any level.
So, what does the launch of “Shrek: Forever after” and “Toy Story 3” have to do with your Internet Network Marketing business?
We can learn basic marketing strategies.
The launch is a process. It means being exposed to all the paraphernalia linked to the movies: toys, commercials, teasers, DVDs from the previous movies, kids asking to go to the movies, etc.
We are exposed to the movies waaaay before they premiere.
When I realized, months ago, that there was a surprisingly variety of toys of Toy Story, I thought “Are they coming back for some reason?” Duh! I didn’t know they were making a third movie or if it was ready yet.
And I know I wasn’t the only one. They had to re-introduce us to the whole concept of the movie. They had to refresh our minds.
They had to approach a new audience of kids who didn’t know anything about the first two movies because maybe they weren’t born yet.
All the efforts to interest us in the movie are not only pointing towards the movie itself. It’s a money making process.
Something very similar happens with “Shrek: forever after” (that one I can’t miss!).
As a mom, you probably go to Mac Donald’s. Don’t deny it. You are not alone. As nutritious as your family diet can be, I bet you make trips to the Golden Arcs every once in a while.
For us is our stop on our way to my In Laws. And we were there the on Memorial weekend. I know for sure that the toy that comes with the Happy Meal is, you guessed, a Shrek toy.
I’ve been listening to Shrek, Rumpelstinsky and Puss in Boots during the whole weekend. I feel like I’ve missed a week already because we haven’t seen it yet. My children are willing to pay for their tickets.
If that is not good marketing, I don’t know what it is.
There a couple of things that I see in this process that can be used in Internet Network Marketing:
1. The launch is a process to create expectation for the product but can be a money-making process too.
2. It is FAR more effective and easier to sell a product when the launch does a good job in the first place.
Before launching a product in our MLM businesses, we have to create that anticipation too. We can learn how to do it too thanks to Jonathan Budd and Mark Hoverson.
What have you learned from a similar Launch Process? How are applying it to your business? Leave a comment about it!
Now go and learn how the MLM Launch Formula works. How can I not share this with you?.

Moms working online: are you Internet Marketing Leaders?
A leader is an…
A leader is an…
Expert!
The qualities of a good leader are many. Some attributes are character, tolerance, enthusiasm, commitment, team work, willingness to go the extra mile, etc.
In the last post I mentioned that a leader is always learning.
She also knows that she doesn’t know everything. When we think we do, we can’t learn.
You don’t need to be familiar with everything about your niche. You are an expert when you learn basic concepts and keep adding to your understanding.
If you follow any training offered online, you become and expert too.
Practice establishing yourself as an expert next time you are talking with someone.
Show that you know few things about certain topic. No sales pitch, and no showing off either. The one asking questions controls the conversation so don’t over do it.
You are selling the idea that you KNOW what you are talking about. It may be or not related to your business. For instance, if you sell vitamins and someone mentions the need for Calcium, you can explain briefly why they need Vitamin D and Magnesium too.
Apply the same principle online. If you learn ways to optimize your blog, you already know more than many people.
Establishing yourself as an expert involves teaching what you know.
Only useful information that will educate! And admit it when you don’t know something. A leader is humble, too!
How do you establish yourself as a leader? Leave a comment about it. And remember to share this post with others, thanks!

Building A Smarter Marketing Funnel: Why we should NOT promote affiliate programs
As moms it seems like we always reach new levels of “being busy”.
That happened to me during the last few months when my priorities shifted from working my business consistently to staying online from time to time to keep giving value.
But when I came back a couple of weeks ago, after my family returned to Peru, I was in a funny place.
It’s like coming back from vacation. You need time to get back to the swing of things.
And I didn’t know where to start and what projects I should finish first. I did finish an e-book I was working on and my next step was to complete a training series. Even with that, I needed some guidance.
And then I read Mike Klingler’s article about Building a Smarter Marketing Funnel . Everything made sense!
Then, last night, he conducted a Webminar that made everything even more clear. I know what I’m doing wrong.
I know, for example, that I shouldn’t promote Mike Klingler here (and I know I'm not offending him). But I need to share this now before you keep trying to promote more affiliate programs in hopes to make more money.
This Hub is long but it’s worth our time. I read it after my children went to bed.
It will show why we should NOT promote Affiliate products before we promote ours first.
So I’m back to work on my Marketing Funnel but first I must draw my map (you can learn about it in the Hub, too). I see what I need to fix.
I have more ideas now.
I know it will take time and patience to develop them. But I will do it.

"My computer crashed": How can a Home Online Business survive without the Internet?
Can I make money online without an Internet conection?
Well... How would it be "online" then?
Yes, you could go to the local Library, go to your mom's house or borrow your best friend's laptop.
But let's face it: without an Internet Conection, there is no much "online" about your home business.
And what about a computer? We are so dependent on technology now that I haven't heard of many Home Based Businesses succeding nowadays without it.
Yes, we still have telephone, fax, home presentations, etc. But our personal conection with the computer comes alive when this trusted companion crashes.
At least that happened to me when my computer crashed few days ago.
I have confessed before that I'm not working as much during these months. But I still keep in touch with my audience and come back to my blog. I have documents in the work and a new training series.
Even with the desire to work I couldn't do much until the computer was fixed. I lost ALL of my documents. There wasn't a big chance to save them from the hard drive so I decided to let them go.
Why? Because I made a back up CD a little over a month ago and I wasn't going to lose much work. I've lost my Playlist from iTunes (and I miss it) along with few home videos that didn't make it to a CD or the Online Storage. I've lost many more files.
But the documents associated with my Home Online Business are safe. As I type, they are being dowloaded into my computer again.
As I mourn the loss of other files I reflect on how difficult it is to work without an Internet Conection or even a computer. How many people have a real limitation to get started in a Home Based Business because of this? I don't think many, but there must be some.
Even if you have the best computer, never over estimate it. Back up your files in a CD or online. I've seen some Online Backup services but I don't use any. If you do please leave a comment about it so we can all benefitiate!

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.

Online Marketing Success: Two Tips for Network Marketing Moms
Sometimes we waste time thinking (and even worse, saying) that we don’t know what to do in Online Marketing. Unless you are really starting you do know what to do: post in your blog, build a list, work on personal development, have a good opt in form, reuse content for Newsletters and articles, use Social Media, etc.
There are so many things to do that it can be overwhelming. Add to that endless loads of laundry, the “magic sink” (you know, the one that is always full as much as you empty it), feeding your family, chauffeuring your children , etc.
So my two tips are simple and direct:
1. Have a plan
2. Act upon it
That’s it! I know, it’s not rocket science. It works for almost anything you want to accomplish, too.
Pick few productive actions that you can focus on every day. One thing that you always need in Online Marketing is content. You also need promotion. Those two activities can be divided in multiple tasks like creating a new Squidoo lens, submitting an article to Ezine Articles or other Directory, posting in your blog, Tweet your post or other people’s post, test opt in forms, tweak a landing page, etc.
You don’t need a big plan. A business plan is good because it reminds you of where your business is going. But you also need a daily list of activities. Cross them out as you complete them.
That means, you have to complete them!. Be realistic. As much as I want to work without distractions, sometimes things happen. My daughter wants to run away, my toddler didn’t make it on time to the bathroom, my pre teen tries to help but gets dirty too. Oh, yeah, we have interruptions.
But we keep on going, we keep taking action. Work every day. Don’t allow yourself to end a day without a victory. My victory today, after a long Monday, is to post on my blog. What are you going to do?

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.

Marketing in Network Marketing
Why is Marketing so important in Network Marketing? Because is the way to communicate our message to the people who need and want what we have. Most of us make the mistake to give away brochures, samples or other tools that promote our Company and/or our products. We try to attract the prospects one by one instead of using the right Marketing System that attracts dozens and even hundreds of them.
In a traditional way, a Network Marketing business is built with home presentations, hotel meetings, parties, referrals, cold calling, etc. You invite someone who invites someone who knows someone, right? And at some point in the network someone will join you. How long does it take to build a Residual Income business this way?
With the technology we have to our disposition now, not using Internet for Marketing in your business is almost trying to go against the current. It’s true that you have to build a relationship of trust with your prospects. You can do that online establishing yourself as a credible knowledgeable person, a leader who is willing to share his or her knowledge, a leader who has learned something of value and wants to pass it along to others. That is in the core of Marketing in Network Marketing: knowing that the first and most important thing you want to market is not a product or an opportunity, it’s you.
We’ll talk more about the importance of a web presence and ways to build yours in future posts.
