How To Turn Likes Into Clients

Building a business is fine, but building a brand is excellent.

When you build a business, you always searching for your next client for your next sale. While it can bring immediate income, this tactic is not sustainable.

You are chasing and using marketing technics to find clients instead of attracting them. Chances are you are going to burn you out before you know it.

However, building your brand is sustainable and will allow you to attract clients.

What would you prefer: attracting a warm audience directly to you or chasing a cold audience, hoping to get lucky and find what you’ve been looking for?

I was on training this morning, and I learned that you need to work only four elements for your brand to take off.

Are you ready?

NUMBER 1 | YOUR MESSAGE

Your message is the thing that well-serve your audience.

So, I am asking you, “what’s the thing that you do and is serving well your audience?”

Your message is the gift that you share with the world. The message that you have been called to communicate to your audience.

Lewis Howes

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE YOUR GIFT TO THE WORLD

Maybe you know it already, perhaps you don’t. Either way, it always positive to reassess where we are at and make sure that the message we deliver is not confusing for our audience.

From my experience and my education, there are questions you can ask yourself that will help you determine what your message is.

Take a not pen and a pad, and answer to my questions:

• What is your big goal - what’s your vision? Maybe your big vision is to be able to help one million people; perhaps it is to help your first client

Notice that I chose the “help” instead of getting. It is an important distinction because when your desire is backed by inspiration and service, you removed all the blocks and disbeliefs you may have.

• What’s your unique story? You can have more than one.

Your unique story is what makes you different from anybody else. By being unique, you remove all competition because no one is just like you.

• What’s your personal value level? You can calculate your P.V.L. by clicking the link below.

• What are the values you hold true?

• Who is your target audience?

Those questions will help you clarify your message. Once you have your message, you start building and growing your reputation and brand toward your unique intelligence.

NUMBER #2 | THE METHOD

Once you have your clear message, you need to find a vehicle, a distribution channel to get that message out to the world.

The method must comply with your genius zone.

If you do not know what method is yours, my recommendation would be to choose one that gives you the lowest path of resistance way for the message to come out when you are in your flow state.

Start to make a list of what you like and dislike to do. Then choose something that you can do every day without feeling bored, annoyed, frustrated, or any negative feeling that will push you to procrastinate in the long run.

Below are some examples:

• Document

• Teach

• Create

• Interview

• Coach

• Write

From there you have to distribute you best content to people the way they want to consume it: it is with videos, or podcast, maybe it is with a long blog post. Find a format that brings you joy.

The key here is to enjoy the process of giving consistent value for FREE to build your brand, reputation, and audience.

Last but not least, find the method that brings out your best content and give so much value that people feel like they owe you.

Lewis Howes

NUMBER #3 | YOUR MARKETING

Marketing is the art of getting the right audience to say “yes.”

When you know your message and you have your method, you become a content machine.

Click here to get your free Marketing Checklist To Promote Your Content.

Becoming a content machine means that:

1. You know how to cut your content into different formats so you can use them on different platforms. The key here is to know how to repurpose your content and maximize your work.

2. You use your content to build your audience.

3. You convert your audience into your email list with lead magnets that are 1/ high value, 2/ problem solver, and 3/ easily consumable.

4. You amplify your reach with mainstream actions when you have a brand (we are not there yet, so don’t freak out!)

If you lack of ideas to create different formats out of one piece of content, get your free guide here!

NUMBER #4 | MONETIZATION

What to sell, how to do it, and when to sell?

Any idea?

I am sure you do, but let’s do a quick recap on how to keep moving forward when you choose to build your brand first.

STEP #1 | You build your runway for the bigger play.

You must wonder how?

Easy. I promise.

1. You get people on you list

2. You email them once, twice, three times a week. It does not matter how many times. What matters is how consistent you are. The more consistent, the better and faster results you will get.

3. You build your distribution channel: the path to your high-end products. We could call that a funnel.

4. You don’t burn your leads - no spamming - you give give give, before you even think of selling.

STEP #2 | YOU SELL BEFORE IT’S READY

It’s what we call the minimum viable offer. And it’s awesome because with this strategy,

1. You limit the time and money involved

2. You presell your free offer before spending time creating - you actually know how people respond to your offer before putting the hours working on it.

3. You refine and iterate your message.

4. You deliver and get REAL testimonials.

STEP #3 | YOU SELL LIKE A BRAND

But what do brands sell?

1. Programs

2. Events

3. Books

4. Ads

5. Memberships

6. Speaking opportunities

7. Courses, etc.

OVER TO YOU KNOW!

Have you found you signature offer? I believe that as marketers we all have a signature offer. It’s like any chef, we do things the way we do them and that’s what makes us unique.

That’s also why, we must believe that the only competition we have to deal with is the one with ourselves.

What’s you take away from this post? I am curious to hear where you are at and how you see the future of your brand and business.

How To Choose The Right Business For Your Personality

Network marketing and affiliate marketing is not for everyone.

We covered that already!

As much as it can be an ideal solution for people who do not have a lot of capital to invest, it is not a quick fix to make money.

Nor a field that everyone can do, although everyone can do it because skills can be learned. It then becomes a question of preferences.

Does network marketing or affiliate marketing fit your personality? Maybe. Maybe not!

So, first thing first…

What is your income goal? What is your lifestyle goal? What do you wish to accomplish? What is a success for you? What is your personal value level?

As I was searching for more resources on how to determine if a business model is right for you, I found a series of videos by Mike Dillard, a multi-millionaire author of Magnetic Sponsoring, in which he explains how to choose a business model that fits your expectations and your personality.

Let’s review what he said…

STEP #1 | WHAT IS YOUR MARKET

No matter what marketing course you take, the first thing that you’ll be asked to do is to determine your industry and your target market.

What industry are you in?
What audience are you serving? What audience do you wanna talk to?

When I finally become serious about my business, I chose to serve the first-time mamas. I was pregnant with my first child and I wanted to document my experience so I could eventually help other mamas.

Since then I pivot a little bit serving high-level moms with a business. But still, I started to serve a very precise audience.

It is critical then that you do your research and learn more about your audience. Below a checklist of what you should ask yourself and do:

1. What are your audience’s needs?

   Visit groups on Facebook and look for questions and struggles your audience might have.

2. Become members of those groups and start genuinely interacting

   Yahoo groups, Facebook groups, Quora, Google search, Off line groups and community of moms around you, etc.

3. Identify common traits that your ideal customers share

   What are their biggest sources of pain? What are their biggest fears? What common challenge do they face? What are their biggest desires? What information are they consuming? What products and services are they buying? What specific solutions might make their lives better?

4. Create your dream client avatar

   And make it personal!

   What’s her name? How old is she? What kind of career do they have? What is the average income range? What is their marital status? Do they have children? What kind of hobbies do they have? What are their other interests?

5. Write your avatar bio

   From now on, every time you will share something, you will think that you are talking to that specific avatar you just created.
   

STEP #2 | WHAT COULD YOU DO TO SERVE YOUR MARKET

Could you create an app? Could you launch a blog? Maybe you could do network marketing?

Make a list of all the things you would be able to do to serve your market.

Let’s do it together with our example. Below a list of businesses/activities, you will be potentially able to do

• you could have blog // affiliate marketing

• you could be a beauty professional such as a hairstylist or an esthetician or a makeup artist

• you could be a health coach

• you could create and sell your own products

• you could be a network marketer

• you could be a nutritionist

• you could be an influencer

• you could create an app

• etc.

STEP #3 | WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT SKILLS

Determining you current skills will help you to evaluate what we call your personal value level. More about it later on.

Your Current Skills

Ask yourself: what skills and education I have that make me unique?

Skills are different from education. I would not waste too much time on education if you were not able to make the most of the skills you learned from it.

I hear you asking, what do you mean?

Well let’s say you did a beauty school, but did not put into practice what you learned there. You might have a license that say that you can cut hair, but you have not actually used that skill, I would not write that skill on my list.

You got me?

Be honest and just attribute yourself skills that you actually master.

YOUR P.V.L.

It might be a new concept for you and it was for me not long ago.

Your P.V.L. is your personal value level. The higher, the better. “They” say that the level of your income is a direct reflection of your P.V.L.

I don’t fully agree with this last statement, but let me explain how you can calculate your P.V.L.

1. Competition: is there a lot of people able to do your job?

2. Education: Do you need special and unique skills to do it?

3. Leverage: How many people do you serve?

Then the calculation is easy: [ (2) x (3) ] / (1)

Quick examples?

Let’s say your are a pet sitter…

(1) Competition = a lot of people can do you job = 10
(2) Education = you don’t need a lot of education to do a good job = 1
(3) Leverage = you can serve one client at the time = 1

Your score = (1 x 1 ) / 10 = 0.1
That’s why you won’t be making millions of dollars pet-sitting.

Now, you are a surgeon…

(1) Competition = not a lot of people can do your job = 2
(2) Education = you need tons of skills and have loads of education = 10
(3) Leverage = you can serve one client at the time = 1

Your score = (1 x 10 ) / 2 = 5
That’s why you make $1M per year, but because you miss the leverage part, you don’t make $20M.

Last one example? Ok, let’s say you are a spiritual book writer

(1) Competition = not a lot of people can do your job = 3
(2) Education = you need tons of skills and have loads of education = 10
(3) Leverage = you can serve the whole planet by selling your book = 10

Your score = (10 x 10 ) / 3 = 33
You make abundance of $$

My question to you, where are you at? What is your personal value level?

STEP #4 | WHAT BUSINESS WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO RAISE CAPITAL

or take more than 12 months to start.

You know that your success won’t come over night. But with consistency, a little patience and absolutely no money, you can still become successful and make money pretty fast.

Fast being around the 12-month mark.

Here some examples of business in the wellness and health industry that won’t cost a thing and can really become successful in 12 months of consistency and / or automation:

• network marketing

• affiliate marketing

• blog

• books

• information products

• education / membership site (private blog)

• local marketing

• social media marketing

And with that list you can go ahead and choose a business that fits your income and lifestyle goals.

Ask yourself how much time you are willing to put into your new business. How much money you can invest. Knowing that, I am recommending zero to little investment here.

STEP #5 | CHOOSE A MODEL THAT FITS YOUR PERSONALITY AND LIFESTYLE GOALS

Remember we talk about your goals and ideal lifestyle. Now it is time for you to choose a model that fit both, your income goals and your wanted lifestyle.

As an example, if you wish to just work a few hours and make millions of dollars, maybe network marketing - at least at the beginning won’t be the perfect fit for you.

If you are out going and love connecting and meeting new people every single day, or if you like to host events and create nice experience for your audience, in that case network marketing might be for you.

If you are an introvert and don’t like direct sales, then blogging and affiliate marketing can be the right thing to do.

The goal here is to choose a business in which you won’t feel miserable. You want a business that makes you wake up super happy most of mornings.

When I was thinking about it last time I did a personal and professional assessment, I realize that my goal was to find a business model that will deliver a PASSIVE income.

I realized that I was okay to produce work right now to put systems in place, but eventually that I just wanted to enjoy several stream of income with the minimum work.

Less is more. I am embracing that. When you know it is possible, it all become simple.

Notice that I have not said EASY!

So, tell me, what is it?

STEP #6 | ASSESS IF THIS MODEL IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THE KIND OF INCOME YOU WANT

The last step is a critical one. As much as you want to enjoy the process more than the results, it is still helpful to keep in mind the big picture.

So I want you to ask yourself if the business model you have chosen has the potential to make you the money you wish to make.

FINAL WORDS

I hope you find this interesting. I hope it will help you determine what type of business and person you are becoming.

I am interested in what you are doing and how you feel about this whole topic. Feel free to share your thoughts, struggles, and more.

I am also super open to discuss privately with you and help you determine a business that will fit you, your personality and your life goals perfectly.

Your turn… Tell me more.

The One Crucial Thing Network Marketers Should Remember To Build Their Profitable Business

Last week was the first time I heard about Mike Dillard.

Do you know him?

I had no idea who he was until I participated in an affiliate contest to promote his revised book: Magnetic Sponsoring.

Which, by the way, is an essential resource for any network marketer who wants to take their business to the NEXT level.

I spent the last few days reading the book and making adjustments to my business.

I got very inspired by what I learned because as soon as I started to implement what I am about to share with you something magical happen.

With just a few adjustments, starting with my OWN mindset, I began to attract the RIGHT persons to me. I gain self-confidence, and in no time I increase my personal value level for my audience.

Are you ready?

Let’s uncover the one ESSENTIAL thing network marketers forget and that costs them their success.

PEOPLE DON’T JOIN A COMPANY
THEY JOIN YOU!

And the same goes for your customers. They buy from you because they trust you. Not your company.

Actually, they don’t really care about your company at all.

It all becomes SO clear.

Instead of marketing the products of our respective network marketing companies, we should focus on promoting OURSELVES…

… creating a brand, the “YOU Inc.” as the author said many times in his book.

RELATED POST: HOW TO STOP SABOTAGING YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

SO HOW WE DO IT?

Have you ever wondered why some people in your company effortlessly attract loads of people into their business?

It’s because they have what we called an UNFAIR advantage.

They have already build trusted relationships. Then when their contacts see them use a product or thrive, they want to do the same.

And they join them without even questioning.

Most of us don’t. I am guilty of it.

The good news is that it is never too late to start building your beloved list. The other good news is it won’t take time before you see positive results.

STEP #1 | BUILD A LIST

As simple as it seems to be.

Your very first step is to build a list.

Does it make you feel overwhelmed already?

I get it. I was there too. I cannot tell you how many times I started, and started again my list. I lack clarity, and alignment, which costed me my success in network marketing for a long time.

My recommendation for you is very simple:

INVEST IN YOURSELF & LEARN

You have no choice.

Why?

Because your list is your business. If tomorrow your network marketing company closes its doors, you will still have a business if you have a list of valuable customers, fans, or prospects.

This is one of the most valuable skill set you can learn.

I will go even further, this is the only one you need to master when you start or grow a business. POINT!

AUTOMATION FROM THE BEGINNING

Many tools exist on the market place.

I started with Mailchimp, but I am considering changing platform as they go through changes very often. One day you have access to a feature, the next day you do not have any access anymore.

Anyway!

Email automation platform will help you build a clear list and vision. Once you have put systems in place - which may be time-consuming - the platform will work for you and make your life very easy.

You will be able to create contact forms, schedule content/emails in advance, and much more.

STEP #2 | CHERISH YOUR LIST

And build a relationship with the people on your list.

It seems obvious, right?

This might be the most challenging task to do.

So how do you do it?

Well, in a nutshell…

YOU SHOW UP!

Consistency is always key when you build a relationship, but also the biggest challenge you’ll encounter.

Think about it for a minute…

How do you feel when you need an answer or a favor from someone you have not talked to in ages?

Pretty awkward… That’s the biggest problem network marketers encounter when they build their business.

They have been asked to make a list of everyone they could think about and contact them.

It feels highly unauthentic.

I don’t know about you, but people know and feel that you have an agenda. It happens to all of us!

Remember that well written nice email you received from an old old old friend asking for a favor. How did you feel?

The same applies to your contact.

SO! Show up!

SHOW TRUE INTEREST

Before you even think of asking your list anything, show them you care.

People love talking about themselves. Ask questions!

And LISTEN to their answers.

You will see. You will learn a lot and that will help you create value for them.

SERVE THEM

And add value to their life.

Make their life easier.

Going online and looking for resources, or participating to webinars, or reading a book that has changed your life, etc., etc.

Share your learnings so they do not have to browse by themselves and waste their time when you’ve already done the job.

Does it make sense?

Last but not least…

GIVE, GIVE, GIVE BEFORE YOU RECEIVE

Do I need to add anything to that?

STEP #3 | MARKET TO YOUR LIST

And now that you know your list, you can market to them easily.

Again, GIVE GIVE GIVE before you ASK for anything!

That’s the golden rule!

Once the relationship is built, your people will trust you and will follow your lead and recommendations.

Some of them will even ask for more!

Trust the process and have FUN in the meantime.

How To Make Your Network Marketing Business Work With Your Mom Life

I have always been a target for every network marketing opportunity out there. Even more, since I became a mama!

Why?

Because network marketers assume that mamas want to explore new professional opportunities as most of us don’t want to go back to work after giving birth.

I get it, I am one of them!

They think that we want more freedom.

• Time freedom

• Financial freedom

• Best deals

• A community of like-minded women

- just to name a few - are some of the perks that network marketing companies offer to moms.

And for most of us, they are right. But here is the thing…

Network marketing is not an easy and quick way to make money and enjoy more time freedom.

Nope!

If you want to make it work, you need to lean in. AND. WORK.

… not harder, but definitely smarter.

While I was very skeptical for a long time, I finally gave a shot and here what happened.

NOTHING!

You hear me right. Nothing happened for me during my first year in business.

I did EVERYTHING my upline told me to do, starting with my list of a hundred contacts. Guess what? No one joined. Even worst, they completely stopped to reply to my spammy messages, which by the way, I know why!

I hosted home-parties as well. You should know that I am a very private person, and I HATE having strangers at my place. BUT, I was told to, so I did it. Guess what? No one joined.

I went to hotel meetings. I drove sometimes long hours to meet someone who was not even close to sign-up.

I posted pictures of me and my AMAZING shakes every day on Social Media. I thought it was pretty cool until I receive a negative comment! I was ANNOYING!

Ouch! It was hard. I did not expect that.

I was working my ass off for little to NO results. I missed some of my son’s firsts. I could not do it anymore.

I was SAD. FRUSTRATED. UNMOTIVATED. UNINSPIRED. OVERWHELMED. DISAPPOINTED. I was everything but HAPPY nor SUCCESSFUL.

It is pretty much what most moms experience when they finally joined their network company.

But I did not give up

I am not a quitter.

Not long ago, when I was about ready to close that painful page, I found and learned a new way to build and grow my business using effective online strategies ONLY.

Like every new skillset you learn, it took a little bit of time and discipline to make it work, but it is so so worth it!

Nothing in Life is easy to get. However, it’s always SIMPLE.

One step at the time, you always go further, and it is what I did.

Little by little, I changed my mindset, build my reputation and my audience. Little by little, I saw my business grow from nothing to something.

It felt so good!

I AM NOT SAYING THAT IT IS EASY BUT IT IS SIMPLE

And so worth it. Are you ready to follow my step-by -step formula?

If so, read on!

I will tell you everything.

Below some more!

STEP #1 | I BUILD ONLINE

I build my network marketing business completely online.

Not long ago, I signed up for a FREE 10-day Bootcamp that has changed my life and my business forever. The book ATTRACTION MARKETING that I bought from them completely shift my mindset and my way to operate my business.

Big saving (72% off) if you want to get the Attraction Marketing Book that changed my life: click here!

I trusted that I was able to learn new skills to take my business online and I did it!

The best part of that program was that I started to make extra money while learning new skills that I was going to duplicate eventually with my network marketing business.

Anyway!

Before, I was spammy and overwhelmed. I was building the “old way,” by hosting home parties, going to hotel meetings, posting products and selfies on social media, sending awkward messages to strangers.

RELATED POST: How to Stop Sabotaging Your Network Marketing Business on Social Media

I honestly did it all.

IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME!

I was trying to hard to be someone else.

I was ignoring my true self.

I was unauthentic, and, let’s not BS you, I was freaking annoying with my friends and family.

I HATED EVERY PART OF MY BUSINESS

I had no fun at all.

You may know my story by now…

I was about ready to quit when I learned about Attraction Marketing.

From there, my business started to grow steadily. I receive leads and prospects while I am sleeping.

My business is working for me.

Not the other way around.

I am happy. I am having FUN building and creating value to my business.

I have more and more time freedom and financial freedom.

I freaking enjoy my mom life, my wife life, my woman life and then my business life.

I AM EMPOWERED

Below is an overview of what I have learned since I started:

• How to attract and recruit an army of people into my Network Marketing business without so much as picking up the phone.

• How to use the internet to put an end to rejection and frustration, and sponsor people with ease.

• How to use email to automatically grow my prospect list, build relationships, and fatten my bank account… all in one fell swoop.

• The BEST way to filter out tire kickers and lookie-loo’s and get serious people to look at and join my business.

• How to add brand new streams of income to my existing Network Marketing business… even from people who don’t join you.

If you are slightly curious, I invite you to join the challenge: 10 days of FREE resources to get you started with attraction marketing and learn what I do!

STEP #2 | I DO NOT MULTITASK

While it is easy to do many things at the same time, I choose not to.

When I am with my son and/or my husband, I am 100% present with them. My phone is away, and they have my whole attention.

When I work on my business. I am 100% committed to it.

Click here to get your FREE copy of my daily schedule.

WHEN YOU MULTITASK YOU DO NOT GIVE YOUR BEST

Your energy is spread, and you are missing your growth MOMENTUM big time.

Are you convinced already?

ORGANIZATION IS CRUCIAL

I hear you.

Organizing my day around my baby and my business needs has done wonders for me.

While not multitasking has been a game-changer for me. Organization still remain vital to make thing happen.

Again… not saying that it is easy, but it is simple.

Discipline will drive you very far.

Recently, I discover this bundle below. And so far so good. Click on the banner if you want to learn more about it, and see if it is a great fit for you.

As said, it is not easy.

FLEXIBILITY IS A MUST

As I am writing down those lines, my baby wants to be with me. He is on my lap! I know that, right now, my attention is spread in between my beautiful baby and my business.

It takes me forever to write my words.

… I feel guilty of multitasking!

But you know what?

Life happens for everyone of us. I choose to not have a nanny right now because baby O, is too small.

Gabby Bernstein says to feel good no matter what

So I choose to feel good because as she says:

The more we feel good, the more we attract what we want.

In other words, if I feel good about it, and let go of the guilt, I am attracting more moments where I will be able to focus.

Would you agree?

STEP #3 | I HAVE A POWERFUL MORNING ROUTINE

And if I do not do it, it is harder for me to be productive during my day!

I had a small surgery not long ago, so I had to adapt my morning routine but basically, it is pretty simple.

I woke up in between 6:30 and 7 AM. I still breastfeed my son who is only 3-month old. It clearly depends on how well he sleeps.

I adapt.

The first thing I do when I open my eyes is that I sit straight in my bed, put my earplugs on and press play to my morning meditation.

Nowadays I use this one here: chapter 11 - morning meditation.

I spend 5 minutes to thank the Universe and be grateful for a new day of opportunities.

Then, I go to my studio and I do 10 rounds of vinyasa. I breathe in and out!

[I would normally work out] and SHOWER!

I would eat my energetic breakfast while watching an inspiring video, or workshop.

Note that I have not opened my inbox yet!

Only after I brush my teeth and check on my baby, I will check my emails and start replying to them, to the comments on social media, to the texts and more.

Do you have a morning routine?

One that empowers you so much that you feel empty when you skip it? I would love to hear from you and get inspired.

Also, I became obsessed with Gabby Bernstein and her super attractor. Along with the book, she released a mediation album in which you will find different types of meditations. From affirmation and mantra meditations to invoking your angels’ ones, she is like the Universe…

She has your back.

STEP #4 | I HAVE OTHER STREAMS OF INCOME

Yes, I do Network Marketing and I love it.

And it is so much fun when you do it the right way.

We talked about that already!

But I love many other things, especially writing and creating content.

So that’s naturally that I found my way to affiliate marketing.

There are three programs that I love dearly:

• Elite marketing pro, which is a program that helps network marketers to thrive in their journey. I started with them by taking their FREE recruiting training and I ended becoming a VIP affiliate. I am having so much fun!

• Ultimate bundles, in which you get to promote wonderful bundles. You can even submit yours and make money out of them.

• Amazon. Everybody knows the Amazon affiliate program. It really is an easy way to get started with affiliate marketing.

All of those three programs are easy to join and do not require a huge following. If you want to learn more about them, feel free to comment below, and I will be in touch.

STEP # 5 | Every time I can I get inspired

Last but not least, I get inspired every single day.

I stopped binge-watching crappy tv shows during my lunchtime to get inspired with awesome videos.

You know what?

That brings me the most joy and energy to create new things.

I also get out of my house and take the time to be present with my son. We talk, walk and play at parks.

I come back refreshed, full of energy, motivation, and inspiration. That has no price.

What are your things to get inspired on a daily basis?

How To Stop Sabotaging Your Network Marketing Business On Social Media

Unless you’ve been living in a cave on some rocky Tibetan peak for the past 20 years, you’ve no doubt got a social media account or two…

…and have seen other marketers trying their hand at social media recruiting.

Some with better results than others.

I have been there. Posting stories after stories showing off my DELICIOUS shakes to my followers. Have you?

It took me time to be completely honest with myself and admit that it did not do any good to me nor my business.

I was too unauthentic and my followers just felt it. So I decided to do some research and gather the best practices to prospect and recruit online.

I was skeptical at first, but below is what I found working very very well for me.

Social Media is the most powerful way to prospect

AND grow your network marketing business.

It’s quite literally THE “gold rush” of the 21st Century!

But you have to do it RIGHT.

You have to do it without spamming, browbeating, begging, pestering, or manipulating anybody into coming to some “mysterious” home party or hotel presentation.

If you do it right, you’ll never have to face shame, rejection, or embarrassment again.

People who want to do business with you will find YOU.

If you do it right, people will select themselves INTO your business – quite literally recruiting, enrolling, and training themselves!

So, how do you do it the right way?

Follow these 5 essential steps to recruiting using social media to build your online empire…

CONNECT WITH ME

STEP #1 | Choose your preferred social media recruiting platform

Of the nearly 5 billion people worldwide who use the Internet, almost 4 billion are active on at least one social media platform.

So which platform should you choose to start your social media recruiting?

The answer is, “it depends.”

It depends on the product or service you want to market. It depends on who your target customer is and where they are most likely to hang out online, and it depends on what your competitors are doing.

Below come the “top 5” social media platforms businesses currently use to build their brands and market themselves, with my thoughts about each of them…

1. Facebook is still the largest, most used social media platform by far, with well over 2.5 billion users worldwide. More than 97% of businesses use Facebook in their business-to-consumer marketing efforts because they can precisely target customers by age, occupation, interests, and geographic location. Because so many businesses are using Facebook, it might be challenging to break in, but it’s totally worth the effort.

2. Twitter is used by around 64% of marketers for short, informative messages and giving precise, solution-oriented messages to customers. It’s also a great platform to use during live events to engage with your followers and promote shares and retweets.

3. Instagram users tend to be younger – 800 million users among the millennial crowd and people younger than 24 hang out there. It tends to also be the preferred social media platform for fashion, beauty, and other businesses that would be attractive to younger women. If your brand is very visual, Instagram is a great platform to consider.

4. YouTube is the largest video platform worldwide, used by 46% of marketers and 1.5 billion consumers. It’s the best place to engage your fans by posting a variety of content like “how-to” videos, team trainings, product presentations, reviews, testimonials, and short, original videos that educate and entertain your followers.

5. LinkedIn is a bit of a sleeper in the social media prospecting arena, as it’s primarily a network for businesspeople to network with other businesspeople. It’s not a platform for direct product or opportunity pitches, but if you provide solid, high-quality professional content aimed at highly educated working professionals between 30 and 55 years old, it can be a gold mine. Most of LinkedIn’s 800 million users worldwide are looking for content about skill development, sales, and work trends.

I will add to this list Pinterest. Even more is your target market are women. Pinterest is like Google for images. There are over 200 million monthly Pinterest users worldwide, all seeking and sharing helpful, inspiring ideas on the platform. Pinterest drives 3.8 times more sales than other platforms and 87% of Pinners have purchased a product because of Pinterest.

So, if you don’t think of Pinterest as a Marketing tools to sell more, you are missing out BIG TIME.

Anyway, one of the best pieces of advice I can give you if you’re just starting out?

Focus on ONE social media platform.

Use it to develop your brand and voice and grow your fan base. Then as you create engagement, add a second, a third, or more as you gain followers and experience.

I have started over too many times to not know that what works best for me to start with is Facebook.

Why?

People are accustomed to it – Facebook makes it really easy to start getting high-quality leads within hours at a very reasonable price.

And their interface couldn’t be simpler. Once you’ve mastered Facebook, any other platform will be a breeze to set up.

And once you've reached the point where you feel comfortable with multiple platforms…

You can use your social media platforms as cross-promotion vehicles to dramatically expand your reach.

STEP #2 | Create a business presence on your chosen platform

While some people do start out with social media recruiting using their own personal profiles, I recommend starting right from the get-go with a business presence on your social media platform.

Regardless of the platform you choose, you need to be ready with a professional-quality portrait or “headshot,” a good-looking graphic banner, a punchy description or “elevator pitch” about your business and what you stand for, and a user name that reflects your business.

• Facebook makes it easy to build a business page by simply finding the link that says “Create Page” and follow the prompts to identify the purpose of your page, upload a professional image and background, enter a brief description, and select your target audience including their demographics, location, and interests.

• Twitter is even easier to set up. All you have to do is head over to Twitter to sign up from their home page, give them your name and phone number or email address, and wait for them to send you an activation code. Once you activate your account, just follow the prompts. Or, if you already have a personal twitter account, just edit your profile settings to include images, tag lines, and details about your business. You can start advertising in minutes.

• Instagram is simple since Facebook now owns it. Set up your business Instagram account by downloading the app from the App Store or Google Play, then either enter your email or tap “log in with Facebook.” From within the app, go to Settings, then “Switch to Business Account,” where you’ll complete your business profile, and again, start promoting your content within minutes.

• YouTube requires you to sign in, go to “Settings,” and “Create a New Channel,” then choose “Business or Other Name.” All you need to do is provide the relevant details about your business, and “presto,” you are, as they say, “in business.”

• LinkedIn distinguishes between a user profile and a LinkedIn page. The profile is for you as an individual, and the LinkedIn Page is for your business. To create a business page, just click the “Work” icon on your profile page, then click “Create a Company Page.” You’ll be asked to provide a few details and verify that you have the right to create the page, then click “Create Page.” From there, you can add detail, images, and content to promote to your followers.

If all of this sounds too complicated, don’t worry.

Each platform has detailed help and support links to walk you through the process.

And trust me, if you can create a Facebook page, everything else is easy-peasy.

STEP #3 | Build an audience

(or fan base, or group of followers)

Okay.

You’ve selected ONE social media platform to focus on.

You’ve created your business page.

Now what?

DO. NOT. PROMOTE. YOUR. BUSINESS. OR. OPPORTUNITY.

It’s not time to begin recruiting for your business on social media yet.

The first thing you have to do is to grow a group of followers/fans/audience.

How?

Simple.

ASK people to follow and support you

Follow people who you admire, who are doing what you’d like to be doing, and ask them for a follow back.

Go through your current personal fans/followers/audience and invite those who might be willing to at least visit your new page to express their opinion about it.

Invite former colleagues, co-workers, professional service providers, and business contacts to simply visit, like, or share your page. Invite SUPPORTIVE friends or family members to visit your page and share it with people they think might be interested.

Don’t. Sell. Anything.

Not yet.

Simply invite them with a simple post…

“Hey! I just created a page for my new business and I’d love for you to comment on it.”

Or…

“I’ve started a new page to feature news and information about health and wellness (or weight loss, or anti-aging skin care, or investing) and I’d love your feedback! Please feel free to follow/like/share/retweet any suggestions.”

That’s all, right at first.

Because the very first thing you have to sell people on is YOU.

How do you that?

By posting interesting, engaging content.

Not by immediately beginning to recruit on social media.

That time will come after you…

STEP #4 | Curate, create, and post interesting, engaging content

Depending on the social media platform you’ve chosen, post stories, articles, images, videos, or links to articles your followers might find interesting and valuable.

DO NOT POST YOUR LUNCH, OR DAILY SHAKE

Unless your are a chef and the information would be valuable to your followers.

Your aim is to build a community of like-minded followers.

Again, you’re not mentioning your product. You’re not mentioning your opportunity. It is still not yet time to begin openly recruiting on social media.

Instead, you’re sharing an article you found in Women’s Health about nutrition or in Forbes about the rise in small-business startups. You’re sharing a cartoon about raising kids or a joke or story about commuting.

Share a story about a friend or colleague who has done something amazing and offers your congratulations.

Share at least daily, if not 3-5x daily. Share often enough to establish a reputation of value.

When people comment, like, or share, thank them. Engage with them. Pass their valuable content along.

As you’re sharing other people’s content, you’re gathering valuable intelligence about what your audience finds worthy of liking, commenting on, or sharing.

Each social media platform has a way for you to track engagement

- the follows, likes, shares, retweets, and comments you get from each post.

It’s also going to give you valuable information about what kind of content to create yourself.

Your goal is to gather an audience, provide them value, and be SOCIAL about it.

That’s it.

And occasionally, maybe one-in-every-8 or one-in-every-10 posts, share a link to your own website or capture page to start recruiting those social media followers for your business or opportunity.

That’s where things get interesting.

STEP #5 | Advertise and promote ONLY to a warm market!

As your audience grows, you’ll learn more about them.

As you look at your engagement statistics on your chosen social media platform, you’ll start to be able to identify the kinds of posts they’re finding most valuable.

That’s when you can start creating your own content to post on your own website – available to anybody who’s willing to follow a link and either private message you or click through to your landing page and provide their contact details.

We call that kind of content a “lead magnet” – content your fans will feel is valuable enough to exchange their contact details for.

There are, of course, lots of ways to get that contact information besides creating a lead magnet.

Here are just a few:

• You could sponsor a contest – your visitors have to visit an entry page and give you their details.

• You could host a Facebook Live, a YouTube Live, or another live event about a topic of interest, post a link to join, and your visitors will have to provide login information.

• You can buy targeted advertising, on virtually every social media network, to invite people to your lead magnet, live event, or contest.

Now, you can begin to recruit using social media.

But, you still must have tact when doing so.

Once your followers have given you their contact information, they’re now leads. They have explicitly given you permission to advertise and market to them.

They found you. You didn’t chase them.

They asked to join your list. You didn’t beg them.

You’ve given them value. You didn’t have to spam them.

They have already, clearly, expressed interest in what you have to offer.

Once you’ve turned your fans and followers into leads, you can lead them, using targeted marketing and advertising, through every step of your sales funnel – up to and including buying your products or recruiting themselves onto your team.

social media recruiting is very straightforward. It is a very simple process.

And the good news is, that once you’ve set up your first social media recruiting campaign, you can almost automate the process.

But it requires patience.

It requires persistent daily action.

It requires mastering one step at a time.

Social media recruiting requires a plan.

My Secret to Attracting Quality Prospect to my Network Marketing Business

It all started a few months ago when I heard about Attraction Marketing.

Have you heard?

I was curious to know it could help me rapidly grow my network marketing business. The promise was very appealing to me: a FREE recruiting 10-day bootcamp to learn how to use online strategies to grow my business, completely obliterate rejection, and give me a completely unfair advantage when it comes to prospecting and recruiting.

Does this sound tempting to you?

First, let’s go back to where I was.

At that time, I was wasting my time and loads of money building my business the OLD way. Not saying that it is useless, I am just saying that it did not work for me.

Not only had I burnt my list of one hundred contacts in no time, but also felt very annoyed and confused about home parties and hotel meetings. I was working my ass off for little to no result.

More unbearably I was missing all my little one’s firsts. It was far from the dream home business I had in mind!

Ouch!

Have you ever seen, at some point in your network marketing career, a well-respected, already-popular, and successful person join your network marketing company and almost overnight had dozens—if not hundreds—of people join their organization?

These people seem to create “instant” success, right?

All they seem to do is make a few phone calls, send a text or two, and a bunch of people join their team—just like that!

I LEARNED THAT This is a phenomenon in network marketing I like to call the “unfair advantage” and it's crucial in attraction marketing

These “overnight success” stories might even be brand new to the network marketing industry, but I can promise you this…

• These people were already successful or popular in their day-to-day life.

• Perhaps they were a successful professional or upstanding citizen in their community with a positive reputation.

• These people already had a following and were highly regarded by their peers.

• People already knew, liked, and trusted them.

And here's why this is so important…

People follow WINNERS!

And that, believe it or not, is the basis of branding. A brand is a following, a reputation, and results.

Now, if you are just like me, you might not have had that kind of reputation or a huge network of connections when you started. In fact, MOST of us don't start out with an unfair advantage.

But imagine being able to create your own unfair advantage—even if you're at zero right now!

It's entirely possible. And it's all about leveraging attraction marketing.

Attraction marketing can help anyone, [and has certainly helped me] —regardless of their background, to create that unfair advantage.

How?

WELL, I learned that Your unfair advantage comes from building your brand using attraction marketing

It comes from investing in yourself so that you can continue growing your value. And it also comes from investing in your followers and helping them grow. This is the secret to attraction marketing.

The more you invest in yourself, the more you attract a larger following, and the more you invest in your recruits, the more they duplicate their own followings.

I'm about to walk you through the four phases I am lead through to help me create my own unfair advantage.

But before I do, here’s a little dose of reality.

When most people hear me say I can, “Help you rapidly expand your network marketing business,” they're thinking…

“Oh, they're going to show me how to attract more prospects and recruit new people now, now, now… Oh goodie… gimme, gimme, gimme.”

The mindset this response conveys is that of people expecting something for nothing.

But here’s the thing…

Whenever people with an “unfair advantage” join anything, other people follow them…

Because they've paid their dues. They've invested in themselves and they've invested in OTHERS over time.

So, when they pull the trigger on a particular opportunity, they'll have a constant flow of new people joining their business because they not only have those connections, but they've also come with the ability to continue to expand their network.

What if we could create that kind of following online, even if we are currently a nobody? The kind of following that means we would never run out of prospects — ever again.

Would that be something you'd be interested in learning?

And if I said, because you are a nobody and starting from scratch, it would likely take you six months or even a year to build a big enough online following and network capable of feeding what would quickly become a six-figure network marketing business…

So I'm telling upfront that it will take a little time to ramp things up… would that still be ok?

I mean six months to a year, is still a heck of a lot faster than it'd take to get to six figures holding home parties, home meetings, 1-on-1s and all the old school stuff… right?

Well, that is what Attraction Marketing is!

So, let me share the roadmap that is currently helping me building my six-figure brand in four phases…

First, let me make this plain: network marketing is one skillset and attraction marketing is another. You need to respect these skillsets and master them. Knowing how to train people, build community, and develop leaders are network marketing skills.

The attraction marketing skillset involves online skills to automate what can be automated and what can't be automated, at least make those activities much efficient, faster, and more leveraged.

The blending of these two skillsets is what makes attraction marketing so amazing. But you're not going to be a master of attraction marketing in two weeks, and that's ok. Besides with the evolution of the Internet, those skillsets are likely to evolve with time.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am still on “training wheels” here, but even on “training wheels” my results have completely changed. What I love the most about it is that I can just:

Focus on learning — and mastering — just one thing

RELATED POST: How I Build My Network Marketing Using Online Strategies ONLY

And I already learned a ton such as how to attract a never-ending supply of prospects using sponsored social media posts, which, to me, is a big big deal because once those prospects engage with your posts, the attraction marketing system converts them to leads – meaning they will have submitted their contact information so I can follow-up.

That puts me leaps and bounds ahead of most traditional network marketers.

PHASE #1 | BUILD A FOLLOWING

Starting with this one critical skill – Sponsored Posts – I started the process of rapidly building my following.

Plus the cool thing is that I was able to make money from these followers (even before they join my business) because my mentors taught them about attraction marketing on my behalf and I earned commissions if they invested in any of the courses.

That’s right, that puts money back in your pocket, which helps me cover my operating costs during this initial phase.

PHASE #2 | BUILD A BRAND

In Phase 1, I’ve started to build a following.

I now have results. I now have some prospects in your network, and I’ve referred a few sales and earned commissions. Regardless of how many leads or new team members or sales I have achieved, the big win is this:

I’ve attracted people to converse and interact with me.

Yes, I'm attracting leads every single day.

Because it’s true.

This marks the beginning of building my brand, cause I am getting results and naturally, my leads want to know how I am doing it. That positions me as an attractive leader.

PHASE #3 | TAKE OVER MY LIST

I am not there yet, but here is the deal…

During this new phase, I will start taking over piece by piece, little by little, my own attraction marketing system.

The messages & value being delivered to my prospects will start coming from me, not my mentors. I will start to provide my own value to others, cause I’ll have started to figure out this attraction marketing stuff, and I will know how to help others do what I did.

I will send them emails, videos, and links to my own blog posts. I will also share whatever other useful information I create. That will help me build relationships with people. They will get to know me. I will develop a reputation for being a leader.

This is called investing in my followers, so the value of that following grows.

PHASE #4 | be the expert

Have you heard of the 80/20 rule?

• You’ll spend 80% of your time and energy delivering value

• And you’ll spend 20% of your time recruiting & promoting your business

No more convincing! Even now that I am on phase two, I am starting to only work with people I like!

The number of people coming into my network marketing business is actually growing steadily.

But most importantly, I am creating an asset, consisting of…

• My following

• My own e-mail & phone list

• My own unfair advantage through social media

As my brand grows, I will enter the final phase of my Attraction Marketing Roadmap. It will happen when I discover my skills, my brand, and my results are growing so much that I can start attracting influencers – the “whales.”

Industry leaders will start seeing my content, and they will start following me. Ultimately, they will see the value of working with me and will reach out to connect.

Why?

Network marketing is a business built on timing.

If you're attracting leaders, and something is “off” about their company's financial health, management, or integrity – guess who they’ll join?

Because you’ve developed your own attraction marketing skillset, and have demonstrated results, value, and integrity, leaders will want to join you when it’s time for a change.

I've seen this happen many times because let's face it – strong leaders & good people can't control the decisions their company executives make. Often times, those decisions lead to trouble and they gotta make a big move…

FINAL WORDS

With attraction marketing, you’ll learn and grow at your own pace

It is not a race.

Now you know a bit about how I work, and why I believe attraction marketing is by far the best way to build a network marketing business.

So if you'd like to learn more about it, then I highly recommend you sign up for the FREE Online Recruiting Bootcamp.

It's a video course where you will learn how to build your business using the latest technology—where prospects come to you on a daily basis—interested in what you've got!

Why Building Your Brand Online is Essential For Your Network Marketing Business

[GUEST POST written by Ferny CEBALLOS For Elite Marketing Pro]

I was sharing with my friend, Rob Sperry, something really perplexing I had heard another network marketing top earner has said at a company event. What he had said got me thinking about the bad advice distributors are getting from their uplines about growing their businesses online.

What was said was repeated over and over again like a mantra…

“Build your business, not your brand.”

I knew where this advice was coming from since many in the crowd had been building their business online and not exactly following the recommendations of the organization and it was essentially an attempt at warning people against not listening to their upline.

As I told the story, Rob jumped and said to me “I heard that too! I know exactly what you’re referring to!”

We both agreed that this was terrible advice. (And I’ll explain why in a second.)

That being said, it’s one thing to disagree with people in our profession. Happens all the time. People don’t always agree with me! Agreeing to disagree is one of the hallmarks of a civil society.

But the REALLY PERPLEXING part is that this was coming from someone who grew their business online. Who had built a big online brand; Who sells courses online, holds seminars, speaks at events worldwide, and has a big social media following.

This was very much a case of…

“Do as I say, not as I do.”

So if you've been trying to figure out ways of growing an online business, because old-school methods like home parties and hotel meetings are not working, here's what it actually means to “build a brand” and why the above advice is so terrible.

YOUR BRAND IS YOUR BUSINESS

It's simple: every action you take in your business results in either…

• Being more likable, or less likable

• Having more credibility, or less credibility

• Improving your reputation, or trashing it

• Being memorable, or forgettable

Think about this: every person you talk to, you either leave them with a good impression or a bad impression.

So if someone chooses to never talk to you again, because they think you're creepy and weird after you tried to prospect them at a mall, then…

That's your brand, in their eyes!

So with every action, you're affecting your public image and your relationships in the world — which, in turn, all affect your brand.

And you can accelerate things by choosing to grow your business online because social media allows you to make an impact quicker, more efficiently, and with more leverage.

Using methods we teach here at Elite Marketing Pro, you can reach out and connect with far more people than you EVER could with face-to-face prospecting or having home meetings.

The upside is that your business can impact significantly more people by building online.

The downside is that if you are doing it wrong or in a sleazy way, you can destroy your reputation and the reputation of network marketing that much faster!

A lot of people don't know how to go about growing an online business (without being annoying!)

Many distributors take the same awkward, repulsive recruiting strategies they've been taught to do offline and make the problems worse online.

In the end, this ends up ruining their reputation, and they continue to produce zero results!

They're just doing social media recruiting all wrong.

They come off “salesy” and pushy, and before too long, people block them on social media.

Okay, so think about that for a second: what are they doing?

Well, they're building their brand, just not in a good way.

Their brand is being defined as a “spammer.”

They are now that guy that people need to unfriend or block on social media.

That, at the end of the day in the context of business, is building a brand.

Thus my original point…

YOU CAN BUILD A NEGATIVE BRAND OR A POSITIVE BRAND

It simply depends on how you conduct yourself.

If you approach building your business in a selfish and aggressive way, then your brand will be damaged and you'll still get poor results, which is important because…

The results you produce in your business also affect your credibility.

And as you grow online and your business creates more results, those results become a part of your brand since you are now associated with success.

Conversely, if you constantly creep people out and fail to create results, then that will be your brand and how you're known to people: “the failure who keeps annoying us with his pyramid thing”.

This is especially true if you're growing an online business and interacting with other network marketers. You will become known as that guy or that girl who does network marketing all wrong and doesn't know what they are doing.

On the flipside, 3-4 years into my network marketing career, I had personally recruited THREE 7-figure earners into my downline because my BRAND as “Ferny Ceballos” represented “online building”, “traffic”, “trust”, “results,” and just being “a good guy”.

That was attractive to them at a time when they were looking for a new Network Marketing company.

No doubt I've made mistakes, but my overall body of work made me attractive enough to them as a sponsor that they approached me!

Now before I give you the complete formula for the “magic branding pixie dust” which helped me recruit these three 7-figure titans, here's what a brand isn't…

YOUR BRAND IS NOT A BUNCH OF PRETTY PICTURES!

…or motivational quotes, or any of that stuff.

Your brand is all about the results you're producing, the actions you're taking, and the people you are affecting.

So even if you're doing Facebook Lives, if you're doing them wrong, then they're a big waste of time and won't do anything to serve your brand.

So you've got to be strategic with your message.

Returning to the terrible advice many distributors are being given…

“Build your business, not your brand.”

I think this advice is actually trying to get people to do this (equally terrible)…

Build your company's brand, not your personal brand.

But here's the thing:

Promoting your brand and your following VS the company's products and the company's opportunity should not be in conflict.

In fact, by now you may have heard the VERY GOOD advice from leaders that GET IT…

You should NOT lead with your company's products and your company's name on social media.

Rather…

People shouldn't even be able to figure out which company you're with

…from your social media profile.

And why is that?

Because people join people and people buy from people in this profession.

Your brand is not this big intangible idea.

In addition to being likable and trustworthy…

Your brand is based on what people think you can do for them.

If you're perceived as someone who can help people achieve their goals or solve a problem in their life, that means you are building a positive brand and people will want to join you or buy from you.

That ultimately serves the interest of the company, by helping you make more sales on their behalf.

On the other hand, when you post stuff about your company & products, in lieu of developing your brand, you are diminishing the role you play in the eyes of your followers.

Remember, people can literally go search the company name on Google without talking to you and buy the product from someone else or even join someone else.

By posting about your company, you are saying the company plays a bigger role in helping them than you do.

You're just a salesperson – an unimportant commodity – they don't need. In fact, if you are perceived as a salesperson, you are repelling your prospects!

Or they will read a bunch of negative stuff on Google and not want to talk to you.

Obviously, in a business that relies on trust and relationships, the prospect NEEDS YOU.

There is a time & place to talk about the company, but that's only when you present the product or opportunity to someone. Not when you are prospecting or marketing in public.

Create a little mystery and curiosity by focusing on what you can do for people or help them with.

And if you haven't figured it out already, all these lessons apply to building OFFLINE as well as ONLINE.

DO NOT diminish the critical role you play as an advisor and expert in the eyes of your prospect.

Great networkers position themselves as advisors (not salespeople) who can help others get what they want.

Now, the reason I prefer growing a business online is this…

“OLD SCHOOL” METHODS MAKE TRUE BUSINESS-BUILDING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU’RE A BUSY PERSON

For instance, think about the time it takes to do a single home meeting.

If I do one home meeting — if I'm lucky — I might have 5 people there.

And most of the time, if I'm doing home meetings, I'm doing maybe two, three a week at most.

Now, think about the investment of time, one evening, 12 prospects, maybe 1 joins…

Or if you're going to spend a couple of hours doing 1-on-1's!

That's an even more inefficient way of doing things.

And think about it this way…

During that SAME two hours, you're meeting with somebody at a coffee shop or conducting a home meeting…

You could expose your business on the Internet to at least twelve people!

Meaning you talked to them about what you can help them accomplish, and you referred them directly into whatever presentation process for enrolling them as a customer or new team member.

So, the choice is this…

Introduce the business to one or two people…or 12 people…every two hours… any time of day?

Which one would you choose?

And that's basically all we're doing here at Elite Marking Pro, we're teaching people how to connect with a lot more people, faster.

We teach how to brand on a mass scale where you can…

• Reach literally millions of people.

• Scale your business to whatever heights you want.

• Build a brand that extends beyond your network marketing business.

• Create multiple streams of income (if you want).

• Recruit en masse.

Using our methods, with an online presentation, you can basically enroll a few hundred or even a few thousand people in one evening, once you've built your brand to that level. By using our lessons, you can start growing a business online that will start building your business automatically.

Yes, it takes a little time to learn the skillsets, but that's what we do here at Elite Marketing Pro.

So if you'd like to learn more about…

How to Use Facebook to Build Your Network Marketing Business

If you're building your network marketing business on Facebook, one of the first questions you need to answer is whether you'll use your personal Profile or create a “fan” Page to promote your products and services. It's important to point out that you can have success utilizing both.

But one method is extremely limited, while the other is highly scalable, so the choice that will scale is naturally a better option to successfully build your network marketing business long-term. And you do want a long-term business, right?

Right! So let's dig in, starting with…

Personal Facebook Profiles

I have a number of friends and people I know in the network marketing industry who have done well using just their personal Profile. So, make no mistake…

In fact, here's a link to a blog post where you will find in detail how you can use your Profile to build and recruit. The first two strategies outlined in that post will allow you to use your Profile in a way that hopefully won't get you in trouble with Facebook.

And I say that as a very real concern, as you'll see in a moment…

The main problem is that you're capped at 5,000 friends on a personal Profile. That’s a firm limitation, which you can’t pass, because Facebook doesn't want you to use your personal Profile as a vehicle for building your business.

In fact, it's against their rules.

Once you start posting your business content on your Page, your friends and family won't be inundated with junk in their News Feed from you, which means they'll (hopefully) be able to tolerate the stuff you post again. It's liberating because your personal Page can focus on your personal interests, so you can connect with your friends once again and delete and unfriend all the people you don't know on your personal Profile.

Facebook Pages are intended for an ever-expanding audience with the purpose of generating leads and sales.

And as a network marketing business owner, that’s what you want, right?!

Now, what does that mean in the context of a healthy business?

The real advantage of having a Page is that you're building an asset with tremendous leverage. Once you've set up your engagement strategy, you can walk away and your business will essentially work on autopilot.

Compare that to a personal Profile, where you have to constantly post new stuff (that's only going to annoy your friends and family), and it's gone in the blink of an eye, likely without gaining much traction or interest.

Plus, other network marketers you've friended are probably doing the exact same thing as you too, so you're basically just spamming each other, and everyone cancels each other out.

No thanks!

So, as opposed to wasting time doing all that stuff, a Page allows you to generate exposure passively, so you can generate leads, customers, and recruits while you sleep, or are out to dinner, or play with your kids.

The posts I share on my Page are planned well in advance. In fact, I always have days, even weeks, of posts scheduled and ready to go. And they’ll go out without me even being at my computer. You can't do this on a personal Profile, which only allows for real-time updates.

Most importantly, I am able to run paid ads on our Page that generate leads, sales, and new business recruits on autopilot.

That's the power of a Page: you're able to leverage Facebook's industry-leading advertising platform. It's the final strategy, and it's my favorite because it's 100% passive.

That doesn't mean I don't work my business, but… I'm working on my business as opposed to in my business. I don't direct message every single person out there; I let systems do the work for me. That's something you'll learn about when you read the blog post I referenced above.

The real benefit of running ads, scaling your reach, and scheduling your posts, is reclaiming your life. When I got online, I was finally able to build a direct sales business without having to bug my friends and family, and without having to talk to strangers in public places.

As I started succeeding in my business using Internet strategies, I got to go to nicer and nicer restaurants, nicer and nicer places, and more exotic locations, and never once think about recruiting anybody. All because that was already happening passively on the Internet!

The final thing I'll say is this…

If you want to build real relationships in this industry, beyond a few scattershot private messages, your audience needs to see that you're up to something bigger. And that bigger thing can, in fact, be that you're building a legitimate business Page—you're building an asset, you're generating leads and followers, and you're doing it passively.

When people in the network marketing space see that, they're going to be impressed and they're going to want to know what you're doing. In fact, people in any business will want to know what you're doing! All of a sudden, you become interesting and attractive in a different way. It's not about your company, it's not about your products, services, or MLM. It's about what YOU, as an individual, have to offer. That's going to be what takes you to the next level in your network marketing business.

If you'd like more help attracting the best prospects online,  so you can take your buSIness to the next level…

…then I highly recommend you sign up for the FREE Online Recruiting Bootcamp I signed up earlier this year. It's a video course where they'll walk you through how to build your business using the latest technologies—where prospects come to you on a daily basis—already interested in what you've got!

You can take advantage of these methods starting today—no matter how much (or little) online prospecting and recruiting experience you have currently. This is, by far, the most efficient way to build your business today.

They have taught me actionable steps I can put to work right away. But they don’t just tell you what to do – they teach you how to think for yourself and create your own success story. And if you take this process seriously, I guarantee that it will change your life. So if you’re ready to get started…

Three Strategies to Build Your Network Marketing Online and Start Attracting Leads Massively

Are you tired of prospecting friends and family? Tired of doing home meetings, cold calls, and chasing after everyone you meet? Are you sick of being accused of peddling some “pyramid thing?”

If you said yes to any of those questions, then you're ready to take your network marketing into the 21st century and build your business online, just like I do.

Let me explain…

Seven months into my network marketing business, I had recruited 2 people into my business and ALL of them had quit! I was working hard for no results at all. I could not do it anymore. I was pregnant and that was not the dream life I imagine for my son and I.

I had held home meetings at my house, friend's houses, stranger's houses, attended company events, and regional events. After hundreds of miles driven, a lot of $$ in the hole, and loads of hours working hard, I was about ready to quit.

It was pretty embarrassing as well and I absolutely DID NOT want to face the “I told you so” from anyone, so I took a leap of faith and started searching the Internet for answers!

I found the website of someone who had built his network marketing empire almost completely online and thus began my journey into Online Network Marketing. I was saved!

Long story short, after proving to myself that I could build a profitable business while enjoying and watching my son grow most of my time, I thank whoever is up there for the online mentors I've grown with because they literally saved my life as a mama and as an entrepreneur!

Today, as my mentors did with me, I devote some of my time showing moms, like you, how you can take your network marketing business online and let go of everything you don't like about building the old school way.

Now, if you want to build your network marketing business online, here's what you need to know…

First of all, the benefits are YYYYUUUGE!

• You can generate fresh, qualified leads from wherever (and whenever) you please.

• You can end rejection forever by only talking to people who are highly interested in your offer.

• You don't need to drive long hours, your startup costs are low, and your business works for you 24/7—without you ever having to pick up the phone!

The best part is that you don't need to be “techie” or particularly good with computers to get started.

There are three steps required to take your business online, starting with…

1. Mindset

Now, I know people have different attitudes as far as personal development and mindset goes. But my advice is pretty practical.

First, you must get comfortable with the unknown. Basically, you need to be present and respect the journey. Know that you're not going to learn everything you need all at once, in one fell swoop. When you go online, you're learning a whole new skillset. Almost a new profession.

Think of it…

When you learn a new profession, what do you usually do?

Well, you go to school for four years. We're not going to have you do that, and it probably shouldn't take four years, anyway. However, if there was a school of building a business online, it probably would take a few months to get through all the coursework, so be prepared for a learning curve. Don’t try to learn everything at once.

Just focus on what's in front of you. Master that, implement it, and then move on. You have to get comfortable with not knowing what's ahead. There's always going to be a new technology that you don't know about and new skills that you have to acquire.

Keep that in mind and expect the unknown. But the other issue is a biggie and comes up often: It's the ability to overcome adversity and not give up.

By going online…

Do certain parts of building your business become easier?

Yes!

That's the purpose of going online—to create more efficiency, so you're not doing things that either waste time or you simply don't like doing.

• So no more driving around town to get from point A to point B.

• No more meeting people one-on-one.

• And no more following up over and over after they've seen “the plan.”

However, you are still going to face adversity. You're still going to hit roadblocks and get stuck. If you're somebody that easily gives up when you encounter those types of things, then don't even try to build your network marketing business.

You have to respect the new skills you're learning

And be willing to face the tough times. Respect means when you actually get stuck, you don't easily give up.

You push through and become resourceful. An important part of the equation is knowing where to go to find answers or knowing who to ask to find answers (more on this later). This is vital to your success.

The last thing is…

You've got to overcome peer-pressure

There are people that are not going to approve of you doing something different from what they recommend within the company. Maybe someone in your up-line doesn't want you to explore other methods. That's normal.

It's normal for people who have not built their business this way to have a negative attitude. Human beings fear the unknown which is why the first thing I told you was: master the unknown.

It's natural for people to fear what they don't know

Not only is it natural to fear the unknown, but it's also natural to attack it too. Know that if your up-line—even if they have a massive downline—haven't built a business online, then they're talking about something they don’t truly understand.

Building a business online is completely different than building it offline. It requires different methods and an entirely different skill set. Building offline is something you can admire and appreciate—and I certainly do—and respect anyone that's done it. But if a leader hasn't done anything online, and they're talking ‘smack' about it, then they have no credibility in my book.

Respect them, but don’t give in to their doubt and fear. But in today's day and age, more and more leaders in the network marketing space are starting to accept that you can actually build on social media and use Internet marketing. The proof is in the pudding.

You see people everywhere who are successfully building online. The proof is all around you.

You don't need the approval of anyone else

Move forward no matter what others say to you. My community provides a lot of support as it relates to this, and they can offer you advice based on your personal situation. I’ll tell you how to receive more information at the end of this article.

This sums up the mindset:

• Master the unknown.

• Learn how to overcome adversity (and not be a weenie).

• Learn to overcome peer pressure.

Those three things will come up, but now you can be prepared.

The next thing you need is a…

2. Practical blueprint

You need an implementation blueprint. Something you can reference along the way. And there are primarily two different ways that you can build your network marketing business online.

First, there's the…

Active social media recruiting

…which you can actually implement right away. With social media recruiting, you honestly don't have to learn much of anything.

All you need is a personal account on Facebook (no website required), and some sort of process—maybe provided by your up-line or somebody in your company—on how to present your opportunity and convert prospects into either buyers or new reps. You only need to know where to take them, and how to process them.

You can start implementing social media recruiting strategies today to build your network marketing business. In fact, this strategy is basically equitable to what you'd do offline, except you're transposing the process online.

The challenge with social media is you're always busy…

• You're always posting.

• You're always engaging.

• You're always interacting with people.

It produces results quickly (and it can produce massive results), and you can duplicate it quickly, but it's time-intensive. Most of the time… People will move beyond simple social media recruiting stuff because they want to create more leverage in their business and to free up more of their time.

And that's what Elite Marketing Pro have been teaching me and other network marketers for the past ten years.

Speaking of which, if you're ready to move forward now with building your business using “attraction marketing,” I’d like to invite you to sign up for the FREE 10-Day Online Recruiting Bootcamp, where you’ll gain the knowledge to create an automated selling and prospecting system to attract highly-interested prospects to your product or opportunity online.

The next level of social media is…

Passive social media recruiting

…which is about posting valuable content or information that inspires people to reach out to you and ask you what you're doing. In fact, a lot of the students are generating dozens of prospects reaching out to them, asking…

“What are you doing? I want to learn more!”

I prefer to start the conversation with somebody when they're reaching out. They are coming to you—instead of the other way around. Then you're able to create leverage and scale.

All the things you normally would do with social media you're now able to scale and accelerate your results. For this, you're going to need a Facebook Business Page (aka a Fan Page) and a training and lead generation system like what Elite Marketing Pro has provided me.

The idea is for people to reach out to you by going to your website and submitting their information, which can happen 24/7 (while you're sleeping or at the beach). They'll do this in exchange for valuable information you’ve promised to give them. They are then automatically sent all the information they need to get familiar with your business, and we provide all the tools to allow you to do this in no time!

By the time you get on the phone, they're 90% sold!

You only answer a few questions, and they're ready to get started. It’s all automatic. That's what a “funnel” does. This is how you can passively have prospects come into your business, every single day. This allows you to take people that are brand new and fresh and walk them through a presentation in an automated way.

That's essentially what I’m talking about with passive recruiting strategies (which is also referred to as “attraction marketing”).

Now, for the final piece, which is…

3. mentorship

It would be very difficult for me to do everything I just described without some personal one-on-one help. Think about it, when you started in network marketing offline, somebody showed you the next steps to take. The same is true with building your business online:

You need someone to show you a step-by-step blueprint. Thus, when you become a customer or client of Elite Marketing Pro, you receive free one-on-one coaching to ensure you get started right.

I know it's overwhelming when you're brand new. My mentor walks me through everything step-by-step (so I don't waste time) and tell me if I am doing things correctly or not.

This immediate feedback means…

I never feel insecure about not being sure what to do next

Or not sure if what you did is correct.

And hey, I know how powerful this is from personal experience.

When I first got started, I spent a lot of $$ trying to build my business without mentorship. It was pretty costly, to say the least.

However, once I got the mentorship I needed, it put me on the fast track to achieving results.

I have now the power to choose to be Oscar’s mom first. If I did it, I believe you can do it too, but…

You have to make the commitment and start with the first step

So if you're ready to take that first step but unsure of just how to begin building your business online, then I highly recommend you learn more about Elite Marketing Pro by signing up for the FREE 10-Day Online Recruiting Bootcamp.

It's a video course where you will be walked through taking your business online using the attraction marketing strategy Elite Marketing Pro is known for.

Because while it is possible to build your network marketing business offline, the way they will teach you is more efficient and allows you to create income quickly, all from your laptop.

And just like the information that changed my life, it can change your life as well.

In fact, I’ll share exactly how you can passively generate 300–500 leads per day, 30–50 customers per day, and recruit 70–100 new serious business-builders into your business each month.

You’ll have the tools to build your business automatically—where prospects come to you on a daily basis—ready to sign up and get busy.
