I built a new lens today over at Squidoo called “Funded Proposal Tips“.

I still have a bit more content to add to the lens, but I thought I would go ahead and get the link loved started so it will get indexed in the search engines.

If you have not started using Squidoo, you really need to start - it is a great strategy to leverage your content! So head on over to my new lens - “MLM Funded Proposals” and take a look. Be sure and give it a rating while your there… –>

Free

I received a question from Marge the other day that I thought was a good question from someone that is obviously taking action in her business - and made a good question to answer for my free MLM traffic series:

================
Hi,

I find my greatest problem is getting guaranteed “free” traffic to my
Website. I do use Traffichoopla.com - they give a list of the very
best Traffic Exchanges. I only use 1 Safewlist - themadvlad.com.

Have you any suggestions with regard to getting traffic to my Website?

Thanking you - Marge.
=================

Marge, great question! I also appreciate the links you have sent me, I will check them out as well.

I am a big fan of traffic exchanges and mailing list builders for a couple of reasons. First they take very little time to set-up and keep them running. They may or may not bring in floods of traffic, but when you get a enough trickles from different sources it all adds up to a flowing river of traffic to your landing pages.

I am particularly interested in traffic builders that let you email other users. This is different from a Safe List - which I have not found to be very effective. The type of system I am referring to allows you to email other members of the site to promote your site.

Here are the four of these sites I am using right now to grow my list and build my business:

List Bandit
List Joe
Your Lucky List
ListDotCom

All four of these come with a free version - however, you really want to take a strong look at the one time offer which will be shown only once on your first login to the system. I have purchased the one time offers in all four of these programs because it is worth every penny!

You see the free versions will work, but you will be limited on how many members you can email and how often you can email them. To truely leverage the system, I take advantage of the membership upgrade when offered, which will allow you to email more members, more often.

So what should you email them? Keep your email short and simple. Give you link at least 3 times in the body of the email. You should only promote one link per email - and it should go to a lead capture or squeeze page. The least effective way to use this resource is to send them to your company provided web site.

You would either send the traffic to your personal site or one of the generic prospecting systems out there. You want to get the lead and then be able to build a relationship with that person over time.

If you have any questions about this free mlm traffic tip, or just want to let me know your own thoughts, please just leave a comment right here on the blog! –>

MyPowerMalls

So you are all signed up ready to hand out free malls with your new My Power Malls business - now what? The cold hard truth is that this business is much hard than most people believe when they first get started. No matter how you slice it or dice it, My Power Malls is still built on the network marketing concept. So where should you turn for new leads?

What makes this program successful is getting your malls out to as many people as possible. So should you purchase generic biz-op leads to find more people to present your opportunity to? Unfortunately, this is what many new owners will do, and they will typically be met by failure. What you really need to think about is finding the “right” person to present your opportunity to. It is better to have one really targeted prospect than dozens of unqualified and uninterested prospects - which is typically what you find when you buy leads for you Power Mall business.

Many MyPowerMall leaders understand that they can easily attract the most targeted lead of all - a lead who is already involved with network marketing. By attracting these leads - those that are already involved in the industry you can dramatically shorten you path to success. In addition, what if these leads actually paid for themselves?

By pushing your leads through a funded proposal system - which offers them tools and training they want and need - you can actually create income for yourself outside of your PowerMalls business. This income will allow you to cover your monthly expenses, pay for more advertising and probably keep your spouse or significant other happy!

MLM

Most Network Marketers are taught to establish goals or visions to give themselves a destination to carry on when the times get tough. Unfortunately, for most the struggle becomes to big, and no matter how important their goals they simply quit before they are realized.

I have been thinking about this recently in my own business, and I have done three things that help me tremendously, so I thought I should share them so that others may benefit.

1. Big Goals - I always start with my biggest goals first. These are goals that I would like to realize in 3 to 5 years. These are important because they let you dream big and these goals give you the freedom to do exactly that.

2. 6-12 Month Goals - I typically do this at the beginning of the year, but do it whenever it makes sense to you. What I do is take a sheet of paper and write down specific goals to be completed during these time periods. Typically these are task oriented or project oriented. So in my particular business it is setting goals for web site traffic, number of new leads per day and products that I would like to develop for my team and customers.

3. Weekly Based Task List - At the start of each week I indentify the imporant tasks I need to accomplish to work towards my 6 to 12 month goals. These tasks are in addition to the normal tasks I do simply to keep my business running from day to day.

When you break you goals down into specific action and short term tasks and goals, it is much easier to keep moving forward towards you “big dream” goals that you will eventually realized by staying on task.

I am reminded of the question “How do you eat an elephant?”…..”one bite at a time!”

Simply by taking small “bites” on a daily basis eventually you will have “eaten” the entire goal - and you will have realized substantial progress in your business. –>

Setting

During the first part of January I took some time to set some specific goals for my business in 2008. This included everything from new products I will am developing, team growth goals and of course income goals.

While big goals are good, sometimes we need to break them down into smaller slices so that we can make progress. So last night that is exactly what I have done.

My short term goal is to get started on PPC traffic. Now I consider myself the “King of Free MLM Traffic”, but I know I am missing out of huge traffic simply because I have not taken the time to get my PPC campaigns set up correctly.

So that is my goal for this week! By the end of the week I will have a whole new traffic stream implemented and generating hot fresh leads for my business.

What is your goal for this week? Leave me a comment and let me know… –>

Generating Great MLM Leads

Question and answer time….

Yesterday I received this great question from Susan:

My biggest struggle is finding leads. I know you have to spend money to make money, but when you are starting out, thats just not feasable.

So if I look a bit below the surface of her email, the real question is how can I get started generating my own leads with little to no money.

It appears that she may be coming from the point of view where she was probably purchasing generic biz-op leads and the cold calling them. From my experience this is simply a quick and painful recipe for disaster. I have never seen one company that will pay enough on a new associate for you to cash flow this - the leads are simply too expensive, and the rejection is to great!

I also think it is a mistake to think that we can build a business - any business (MLM or otherwise) - with no money. You must have some money to get started.

So let me give you a quick run down of a simple system that will get you started with $40 bucks out of pocket maximum - which will allow you to generate your own leads, and make a profit from those leads.

Step One (less than $20.00) - Get a web hosting account (Try Dream Host for a good deal - I use them!)

Step Two (Free) - Create a simple lead capture page. Don’t know how? Just look at some examples and model yours around the ones you like best.

Step Three (about $20.00) - Set up an account at Aweber so that you can actually capture these email addresses and names. Then you will be able to build a relationship via email with your new leads.

Step Four (Free) - Start writing articles and submitting them to the article directories like EzineArticles.com. If you write one article a day you will be amazed how your traffic starts to build.

So you can generate high quality MLM leads using the internet. Just don’t become overwhelmed! Take action on this plan and it will work for you.

Taking a break…

A personal note…

My Wife and I are packing our bags and heading off tomorrow morning for a short get-away in San Diego. My parents arrived this morning to handle the kids for the week, which our kids and Grandparents alike are totally excited about!

We are really looking forward to this trip. We don’t get this chance very often - and three kids keep you pretty busy. It will be nice to simply be together and relax.

On top of that I have been working very hard the month of January - and I have some really big projects planned for February (keep your eyes on your email for the announcements) - so I am looking forward to recharging my batteries and coming back home next week reinvigorated.

In any business sometimes you have to take a step back, relax, and return with a new energy. I do hope to use the break to really do some thinking. Many times we are so busy in our daily routines, that we don’t allow ourselves a chance to be quiet and simply think - which is something I love to do.

Thats all for today. I need to get some audio teleseminars and videos loaded onto my iPhone before we leave!

See ya on the other side….

MLM Success - Get Off The Emotional Rollercoaster!

I am going to share one of the most powerful mindset you need for success but first I want to tell you a story.

My two boys and I are actively involved in Cub Scouting. Yesterday was the annual Pinewood Derby race. For those I you might not be familiar with the Pinewood Derby it is basically a toy car race.

Each boy receives a block of wood, 4 nails that are the axles and 4 tires. They then carve and shape the wood to look like a car and mount the wheels.

Of course just like anything in life it gets pretty competitive so we ended up spending hours polishing the axles, painting the car and basically making it as fast as possible.

So the day of the race my two boys were nervous with excitement and anticipation.

Each boy gets to race four times. It was interesting to watch their emotions as the races progressed. My oldest son came in third place on the first to races.

He was getting upset because my other son had come in second in both of his races.

Then in his third race my oldest son came in first! Oh boy, his emotions instantly swung the other direction and he was on top of the world.

I found it so interesting how their emotional state could swing so dramatically from the success or failure of thier last task.

This same situation seems to affect many adults as well as they begin to build their MLM businesses.

The mark of a true entrepreneur is that they do not become so emotionally involved it each event. They look at each success or
failure as a learning experience.

When you get to a point in your own mind that each activity is not judged as a success or failure but rather just one point in a journey to success, life becomes so much more fun.

The problem is that most of the ways we are taught to build our MLM businesses simply don’t allow us to reach this point. From my experience it really takes two things to happen in your business before you can get your mind around this.

You have to place yourself in a position of lead abundance. If you have more leads than you can physically contact you don’t get as concerned over every rejection.

But you also must put yourself in a positive cash flow position. You simply cannot continue to lose money each and every month and have the mindset you must have to succeed. If you do not have positive cashflow you don’t have a business you have a hobby.

This is the game I play everyday, and it rocks! So right now make the decision to not ride the emotional roller coaster of each race as my son did. Instead get started today building a real business where emotions don’t have to rule your life.
