“If you build it, he will come.”
Well, maybe in baseball, but not in Network Marketing. In Network Marketing, it’s more like: “If you build it, create and establish a relationship based on providing value and creating trust with it, he will come.” Let’s continue this discussion.
Okay, your leads are pouring in, you’re sending your leads lots of value in your emails and posts all over the internet…now what?
There are really three ways to monetize your list:
A. Email them with your opportunity
B. Call them with your opportunity
And my favorite,
C. Let them come to you asking to be a part of your opportunity with their credit card in hand.
I don’t feel the need to spell out A. and B. for you, as this is already the way that most people market. There is some success to be had that way, but not TOP EARNER success. All the TOP EARNERS practice all the principles I laid out in Part 1 and Part 2 of this series. And, all the TOP EARNERS experience C. on a regular basis
Now, C. may sound crazy but if you’ve done Part 1 (Build Your List) and Part 2 (Create a Relationship With Your List) of this series correctly, that’s the natural consequence of all your hard work. C. is definitely the one most people have the hardest time believing. However, if you’ve really digested Mike Dillard’s “Magnetic Sponsoring” and are really practicing attraction marketing, and giving your knowledge and experience to others, that’s exactly what happens.
That’s it. It’s that simple. If you still can’t wrap your mind around this concept, run (don’t walk!) and get yourself a copy of Mike Dillard’s “Magnetic Sponsoring”. It will rock your world. And then I want to hear from you – don’t be shy!

Okay, you’ve got leads coming in. Great. Now, what do you do with your leads? Well, first let’s begin with what doesn’t work….and this again, goes counter to probably everything you’ve learned about network marketing. But we’re done with all the old, outdated ways of prospecting aren’t we? Aren’t we done trying to chase people to join our businesses? Aren’t we ready to have them chase us? If you’re reading this right now, I’ll assume yes.
So, what you don’t want to do is start calling them up and trying to convince them to join your opportunity. What we don’t want to do is spam them with emails trying to convince them to join your opportunity. Most times, this will only get you the eye glaze – that hazy, glazed look on a prospect’s face when they feel someones trying to “sell” them something. Or the “I’m not interested” hangup, or worse yet, the “delete” button in their email.
Now let’s talk about what works. “But wait, Amy…I’ve gotten people into my business doing those things…what’s wrong with that?” Nothing. And, if you’re content to have people trickle into your downline once in a while after you spend all your energy chasing and hunting them down and don’t have the desire to kick your business up to the next stratosphere of income, then go with G*d. You can stop reading now.
If, however, you’re ready to take action and expand your mind and your business, let’s get started. Really it all begins with you. You’ve got to provide something of value to your list beyond an “opportunity” before they’re going to pay attention to you, to trust you, to listen to what you say…and ultimately to join your team. You need to provide the valuable tools and information that you’ve accumulated throughout your experience in network marketing (however long or short that experience is) in order to be someone to whom they will listen.
Now at the is point some of you newer marketers are wondering “What value can I have to offer other marketers?…I just started”. Well, you know more than you think. Just by reading this article and opening your mind to new ideas about how to market, you already know more than 95% of marketers out there who are all doing what you USED TO do. The more personal development you do (books, webinars, trainings) the more you have to offer. Find a unique way to communicate those things to your list and they will come to not only read your emails and take your calls, but look forward to them.

Okay, first thing’s first. Now I know many of you are reading this and thinking “Cool, How do I MONETIZE MY LI$T? I’m ready. Cha-ching!” Okay…sloooow down. There is an order to this process. If you attempt to jump this order, it will not work. Not only will you not monetize your list, but you won’t even have a significant list with which to monetize.
So, let’s really look at these three simple steps in order.
Step 1-Build Your List
Step 2-Establish a Relationship with Your List
Step 3-Monetize Your List
- Part 1. How To Build Your List
Okay, so you’re involved in an MLM. You have a great product, an awesome comp plan, maybe even a decent downline. But you’re hungry for more. You’re ready to increase your numbers bigtime and you want to do that by marketing online. Good for you! You’re in the right place.
So how do you build a list online? Well, there are a number ways. However, I’m not going to spend time talking about Pay Per Click, or Social Networking or Blogs or Articles, etc. Today I’m going to focus on a simple, quick, easy strategy that anyone can do…and do quickly to get their list up and going right away. List Builders.
List builders are databases companies with large memberships and when you join, you have access to email their membership to one degree or another. Three of the more popular and productive ones are: List Joe, Viral URL and, Viral Hosts. They work like this…
Depending on your budget, you can either join for free, or for an upgraded paid membership giving you access to mass mailing options. First let’s talk free. On Viral URL, for example, you can join for free and then earn credits to email your promotions to their members. You earn credits by viewing emails sent by their members to you each day or by clicking on links and viewing webpages of their members, etc..
The better option (the one that will build your list much more quickly and efficiently) is to accept their one time offer when you join, to upgrade to their Gold or Elite membership status. If you accept their one time annual Gold Membership offer of $197, you get the opportunity to mail 3,000 of their randomly picked members every 3 days. That’s 30,000 mailings a month. Okay more math….That’s 360,000 people receiving your email each year. For $197? Wow!
If you have good copy writing skills and can write an intriguing email ad to send, you can get a lot of leads very quickly. For example, let’s say you mailed out 3,000 people and got 30 leads…If you do that every three days, that’s 300 leads a month. That’s 3,600 leads a year. That’s a nice way to build quickly for such a small investment.
All three of these companies, Viral Hosts, Viral URL and List Joe have offers like these. And, on top of that, they offer other things that add value to your business as well. For example, Viral Hosts offers you free web hosting for you blog or web page. Viral URL offers free link cloaking. And, all of them offer you other ways to earn (or buy) credits to have your web page viewed or your emails looked at. If you’ve got the budget, there are also further upgrades (for example Viral URL’s Elite membership options that offers you the opportunity to mail 6,000 members every 3 days for another one time offer upgrade).
Now let’s get back to that which I glossed over quickly – what should these emails say? Well, first let’s start with what they shouldn’t say. What they should be are blatant attempts to recruit people into your business opportunity. This may go counter to everything you’ve been told about marketing. However, if you’ve ever read the great book (which I consider to be MANDATORY for anyone in network marketing) “Magnetic Sponsoring” by Mike Dillard, you understand this attraction marketing approach.
If you want a GOOD response that generates LOTS OF LEADS, you must PROVIDE VALUE to your reader. It’s that simple. What does that mean?
In this email, you must offer that which your audience wants. Who is your audience? Network marketers who are members of these list building databases who will be receiving your emails. What do network marketers want? Well, if you are reading this, there’s a pretty good chance you are one. What do YOU pay attention to in your inbox? What offers make YOU click? Most of us will click open an email or click on an ad if we feel there’s a solution to a problem that we have.
A simple offer which provides value and asks for nothing in return but your contact information is all you need provide. No sales pitch. No business opportunity. There’s time for that later in Step 2. For now, just something of value. Many marketers will hungrily opening an email which provides some kind of information on how to expand their business, or increase their recruiting skill, marketing skill, show them how to do something they need to do to maximize their business. Offer some training, a free e-book of some kind. Something they (we) need…in trade for their contact information. That’s when you get clicks…and ultimately, leads.
It’s that simple. And it works.
Stay tuned for Part 2 in this series: “How to Establish a Relationship Your List”…coming soon…
Today I was confronted head on with my reason WHY. You know what I mean…my reason “WHY” I am doing this wacky internet marketing thing…My reason WHY I joined my primary MLM business….my reason WHY I spend every spare second when I’m not taking care of my other commitments or not with my family, every spare second working on what I’m really passionate about… building my business.
My reason WHY came out of its dark lair and showed me its fangs today. Now, this is not the first time I’ve seen it do that of course. But today, those beady red eyes stared at me and dared me to give up. Dared me to stop all this crazy network marketing, all this business building and marketing training I give and receive… Dared me to stop writing articles, connecting with other marketers and growing my downline. That monster tried to will me back into complacency — that place I existed before I started to TAKE ACTION, changed my life and became an Entrepreneur.
You know what I did? I looked that reason WHY right in the eye and I sang out “NOT TODAY!” In fact, “NOT TOMORROW, NOT EVER”. I will not go slink back to my corporate existence with my nice little golden handcuffs and watch what the independence I’ve sweated to build for myself go quietly away. I REFUSE. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
Now that felt good! I love when my reason WHY shows itself because it reminds me WHY I’m here and why I started this all when it would be so much easier not to. And now that I’m down this road, there’s no going back. I’m no longer content to just exist and earn what someone else thinks I’m worth. I want more. And I deserve more. And I will have it. In fact, I do have it.
Okay, now you have a short glimmer into my day today. Whew! But enough about me. The point is – EVERY NETWORK MARKETER NEEDS A REASON WHY. And it had better be a good one, because no matter how many spammy emails promise you that you can have the world on a plate with the click of a mouse on autopilot and 7-figure income streams will knock down your door with little to no work involved, you know better. There are many great opportunities out there but they all require work. Commitment and work…and consistency. And when that reason WHY guides you, and you give it your commitment, that’s when the great successes begin.
So, take this moment and either figure out what your reason WHY is (if you haven’t already) or let yourself reaffirm it right now. See it. Feel it. Let it guide you to your greatest achievements.
Remember: FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
To Your Rockin’ Success,
Amy
Okay, I’m not going to presume to tell you whether or not to join MLM Lead System Pro…what I will presume to do is tell you about the system, give you all the information, my opinion and leave it to you to decide for yourself. Afterall, you have a brain or you wouldn’t be researching to begin with!
Okay, let’s get started. Here are the:
Top 5 Things You Need to Know About MLM Lead System Pro
#1 THEIR TRAINING IS PHENOMENAL
Anyone from a totally newbie who knows NOTHING about internet marketing to a seasoned internet marketer can work this system and make money…one simple reason why. …
The MLM Lead System Pro Training Center is very well-organized and user friendly, simple to follow, with excellent video tutorials to get you started ASAP. It has training on an unbelievable amount of different marketing strategies—strategies that speak to any level of marketer – from the shiniest newbie to the most seasoned advanced top earners.
And it doesn’t stop there. They hold new training webinars every week on various hot topics hosted by the top earners in various niches in the internet marketing business …and all of these get posted in your back office for you to watch anytime. Their library of available training is simply incredible.
#2 THEY TEACH YOU HOW TO BRAND YOURSELF
The entire system of MLM Lead System Pro is based on the principles of Mike Dillard’s “Magnetic Sponsoring”. The founders of the MLM Lead System Pro system, Todd Schlomer, Norbert Orlewicz and Brian Fanale, were inspired by Mike Dillard and the principles of attraction marketing that he teaches; they originally developed MLSP to teach and train their personal downlines to market online using Mike Dillard’s techniques. They were so successful personally, that they then decided to create their own duplicatable marketing system so that anyone could find success no matter what MLM they were invoved in.
As you may know, attraction marketing teaches you to brand and promote yourself as a leader in network marketing, as opposed to marketing a replicated website for your primary business and chasing your prospects. In this way, by providing value and experience to people you become the hunted instead of the hunter . Your prospects are calling you, credit card in hand, waiting to join your opportunity.
MLSP teaches you exactly how to do this, step-by-step and this knowledge colors every single bit of marketing that they teach you as well.
#3 YOU WILL BUILD A GREAT LIST THAT YOU OWN!
Okay, let’s get to it…LISTBUILDING…So important. If you don’t have a lead list, you’re nowhere. MLSP not only teaches you how to generate your own LASER-TARGETED LEADS, but they also provide you with a system that works in tandem with your very own auto-responder. Why is that so special? Good question. Answer: Because YOU OWN YOUR LIST. Many other companies provide you with capture pages that grab lead information for you…but guess what THEY OWN THOSE LEADS, not you. With MLSP, they’re all yours. So, even if you choose to stop using MLSP someday, your list goes with your because your auto-responder account is yours.
#4 YOU CAN EARN MONEY FROM YOUR PROSPECTS EVEN IF THEY NEVER JOIN YOUR BUSINESS
This is really my favorite thing about this system. MLM Lead System Pro comes pre-packaged with 20 SEPARATE INCOME STREAMS from affiliates which are automatically promoted through your autoresponder. With MLSP working it’s magic, you are earning multiple commissions on autopilot through a sales funnel that’s pointing people right to your primary business. It’s so simple, it’s genius.
#5 YOU CAN TRY IT FOR JUST A BUCK!
That’s one dollar, four quarters, 100 pennies…you get the idea. That $1 buys you 14 days to try the system IN ITS ENTIRETY. That means all that training is at your fingertips, as well as the whole system, capture pages, affiliate promotions – everything. I don’t know about your but I spend way more than that just on a coffee at Starbucks…and that coffee doesn’t make me any money. Seems like a no brainer to me.
SO, WHAT’S THE DOWNSIDE?
Well, I’m going to have to search hard for this one because as far as I can see there really isn’t a signifcant one. The only thing I can think of is that there is so much information and training available through MLSP that it can sometimes be overwhelming. But, of course, they overcome that obstacle too through coaching you through the process of creating a solid marketing plan and having strong upline support to contact when you need some guidance.
So that’s my information. I hope this helps you make an informed decision about whether or not to join MLM Lead System Pro.
