MLM Networking Tools

If there is one technique that I have seen work for the internet marketing gurus and now for myself it is the technique of using sales funnels. Sales funnels are power and money.

For a network marketing, direct sales, mlm or any other home business I recommend a 3 sales funnel approach to start out.

I created this video blog about what 3 sales funnels you should put in place and what each of them will do for your business.

My wife and I got into home businesses over two years ago.

Last summer we spent the summer in Brazil building our business and we had a blast but we lost lots of money.

Since then we have analyzed what we learned and what lies we were told.

We’ve taken the lies we were told and turned them into motivation to create a system that markets and builds our business successfully in spite of the lies we were told. So we’ve decided it would be effective to share these lies with our friends on CurtClapier.com and then after making everyone aware of these lies then I will teach you step by step how to set up your own system and teach you the marketing skills necessary for you to succeed in spite of the lies that you have been told.

So here’s the first LIE about home businesses and network marketing that I was told.

1. The system is simple. All you have to do is use or consume the product yourself, then share your experience with the product with all of your friends and then invite them to get involved.

Well, I shared multiple opportunities with many many people that I know and we continued to only loose money. In fact our upline told us that you just need to put 2 people into the business.

Only 2 people?! That sounded easy enough. So we did that. And it wasn’t easy.

Then my upline told me to make a list with them and then go personally with my people, since I was their leader in Brazil, and present the opportunity to all of the people on their lists.

So guess what we did. We did exactly that. My husband presented the opportunity to a couple of dozen people who were on our first two people’s lists and they ALL said NO. It was devastating to my new distributor who had made a sacrifice to purchase their product and join the business. They both ended up quitting because all of their friends said NO and they could not afford to continue.

But all of the training we would receive continued to tell this same LIE. “Just stick to the system.” they would say. “The only people that don’t make money in this industry are those that try to reinvent the wheel and don’t listen,” they would say.

Lies, all lies! The only people that this conventional network marketing strategy worked for were the people who came into an organization with such a huge circle of influence that they could instantly sponsor hundreds of people into the business.

Well, I didn’t know any of those people. Did that mean I was destined to fail?

Have any of you been told similar lies? If so please share your stories here.

Over the next few days I will share all of the 3 big lies I was told and then I will teach you what we did to succeed in spite of these lies. If you follow along and continue to bump this thread so everyone can learn we will teach you step by step how to set up this system in your business. In fact we will set parts of it up in our newest home business along with you.

The more you indulge in Network Marketing and direct selling the more you will hear the term “web 2.0″. Here’s  web 2.0 video that might interest you.

If you are to be successful in any home based business you must learn to effectively leverage web 2.0.

To explain web 2.0 is not easy. How do you define it?  What would you say are the 5 most important things for marketers to understand about web 2.0?

I won’t attempt to explain that completely, but I will share with you what I think is the most important and possibly the hardest web 2.0 concept to grasp.

In web 1.0 it was about getting people to go to your site for content.  It was about driving traffic to your site.  Well, now it is still about driving traffic to the right places, but there is more to it than that.  You must learn to put valuable content in front of your target market wherever they like to view their content.  Not necessarily on your site only.

Do you read the Wall Street Journal at Star Bucks?

You can better understand this online principle by thinking about this offline example.  Lets suppose that every morning you go to Starbucks.  While you sip your morning coffee you read the Wall Street Journal.  Lets suppose that one day the WSJ executive comes in and takes your wall street journal.  He says in order for you to read the WSJ you have to drink coffee at Java Joes across the street.  From now on people will only be allowed to read the wall street journal at Java Joes.

That would be ridiculous wouldn’t it?

The same concept applies to web 2.0 marketing.  If you want people to read about your business opportunity or your products you can’t expect them to go to your company duplicated website all of the time.  If they like to do their research on facebook then you have to put it in front of them on facebook.  If they use Twitter to get information then you have to put your content in front of them on twitter.  Do you see what I’m saying?

Web 2.0 is about giving people what THEY want WHERE they want it.

Over the next few weeks we will explore more fully this concept of web 2.0 and help you learn how to use it in your home business.

Web 2.0 is simply a tool to applying attraction marketing techniques to your mlm business.
