The Problem with Replicated MLM Websites
May 21, 2007 – 9:53 am | by Burke Jones - The Internet MLM Pro->
I remember the first day I joined up with my company. You see with
my business kit they also provided my “very own” web site. I was
ecstatic! I could see the customers coming from Google, Yahoo and
MSN to my site and purchasing loads of products. I could see
people interested in a business simply finding me through a Google
search and singing up under me.
I had this image that this business - with my company provided web
site - would build itself! What I soon learned was exactly the
opposite…….nobody ever visited - except me!
You see there are many problems with company provided web sites,
lets take a look at a couple of them, and then look at a solution.
Product Sales & Search Engines
The biggest problem with a company provided replicated web site is
that it is exactly the same as every other associate in your
company. Because it is exactly the same, it appears as duplicate
content to the search engines. Search engines hate duplicate
content, so they only rank a few of the sites highly, and the rest
are buried on page 98 of the results never to be found!
Business Opportunity Seekers
The competition is simply to great to expect your company provided
site to rank well on the major search engines when people are
searching for a business to join. On top of this, network
marketing really does boil down to building relationships. It is
the relationship and the system you provide that will get people
interested in joining your business.
Now that we have identified the two biggest problems, what can you
do about them.
First, get your own domain name, and start building your own site.
There are many easy and low cost ways to make this happen, and I
will cover them in future emails.
Your own site will allow you to build a relationship with your
visitors, both for your product and/or your opportunity.
Once you have this relationship, then you can send the prospect to
your company provided site to make a purchase or sign up. That is
the only way that a replicated web site will work for you and your
team.
You have to have a system in place that will do the following 24
hours a day, 7 days a week - fully automated. You system must
provide product information, business information, and reveal a
system that a potential prospect can see themselves plugging into.
A company provided site will never do this. Period!
My team is using the internet and methods like this to simply
explode our business, our company site is only there for the few
times we need, not as our primary marketing vehicle.
