3 Online Marketing Tips To Help Your Network Marketing Business

It used to be back in the old days if you got involved in network marketing you would need to make a list of 20 or 30 people you knew and then approach them about your new product or service.  This will usually only work if you have a good sphere of influence and a network of people who have open mindsets and a disposable income to spend.  Once you go through your network you are left with nothing to do or the dreadful thought of having to go out and talk to strangers.  Unless you’re a unique individual the idea of cold calling in person or on the phone is pretty disheartening for most of us.  My thought process is if I do something and it’s super painful – I’m probably not going to attract the right people to my business.  So with that being said here are 3 more online network Marketing Tips You Can Use To Help Your Business.  This is a follow up to my last blog 5 Cost Effective Ways To Market Your Business Online.

3 Online Marketing Tips To Help Your Network Marketing Business

In my last blog post I shared 5 things that you can do online to market your business.  In todays post, I wanted to share 3 other things you can do.  If you have not yet read my other post you can click on it here.

  1. Facebook Groups– Facebook now has over 2 Billion Active Users worldwide and I find this to be the best place out of all The Social Media Networks to get partners for your business.  Create a Facebook Group that is relevant to your business.  I have created several and one of the most popular ones is Become an MLM Superstar.  I think this group has over 3,000 members (mostly people interested in networking who are outside of my personal network).  It’s my group so I get to control what gets posted and I can post anytime I want to this group.  I usually will use this as a way to advertising my blog vs.spamming links.   So if you write an article or your company comes out with a new product this is a great way to share it.  If you’d like to join my group on Facebook Click here.   It’s also a good idea to join other groups that are relevent to your products/services/industry and share to those groups as well.  This is a great way to get your message out there and will help you get more good quality leads.
  2. Boosting Posts – Now you’re going to need a Facebook Business Page to do this, but this can be a very affordable way to get your message out there.  It’s very easy to set up and you don’t have to have alot of page likes to use it.  You simply post something relevant to your business and boost your post.  You can boost it for 7 days for anywhere from $5 to $25 (the choice is yours).  I recommend starting with a small budget and look at it every few days to see how you are doing.  If you want likes and comments on your post that would be a brand awareness campaign.  If you want leads then you need to go with a website link (landing page) and get people to go there.
  3. Solo Ads – are a popular way to reach out to your targeted audience via email without actually having a list of your own.  Think of it like renting a list.  Someone like myself with a large following of several thousand people can be targeted to for a fee of $30 to $100.  Most of these prospects are interested in what you have to offer and you will generally get anywhere from 15 to 25 fresh leads from just one solo ad campaign.  The only requirement here is that you hire a reputable marketer to send your email out and you will need to be a decent copywriter or hire one.  One of the best sites I have found for solo ads is Udimi. You can get started by clicking here.

I hope all the above helps you grow your network marketing business.  Keep in mind that you don’t need to master all the above to have success online, just a few marketing tactics will get you a steady flow of leads without breaking the bank without having to go out and cold call on people.

Best Ways To Make Money From Home

If you are like me and would like to make extra income or have multiple streams of income.  I don’t think there has been a better time than today to create that for you and your family.

You don’t need a bunch of money to get started and in many cases can begin earning an extra $500, $1000, or even $5000 or more from home each and every month.  Below I have listed some of the best ways I have found to make money from home.

Affiliate Marketing – affiliate marketing is taking a product that someone else has created either a how to book, a course, or a product and simply either promoting it online.  When you make a sale you make a commission usually 15 to 40%.  The best thing about affiliate marketing is you don’t have to invest thousands or lots of hours in time creating the product.  You simply find a product you believe in and go out and market it to your email list, social media channels, solo ads, blog, or search engines like Google & Bing and when you make a sale you earn a commission.  The downside is if you’re tigh on funds to pay for advertising you will need to have a big email list, a decent social media following, and an established blog to really make money doing this.  I have honestly had the best luck doing this with Twitter and Solo Ads.  The best place to start with affiliate marketing is Clickbank.com they have thousands of products to choose from and they do offer a bit of training on how to do it.

Network Marketing – You can join a company as a distributor for a small fee of anywhere from $20 to $1000.  Network marketing is pretty simple you just sign up with a company like Avon, Amway, or Nuskin and pay a small fee order some products and begin marketing your business to others.  When someone orders products you earn commission anyone that you refer you should earn a percentage off of their sales as well.  The beauty with network marketing versus affiliate marketing is once you build a network you continue to earn commissions without having to go out and sell all the time.  In other words, it should build up over time.  There are many great companies out there to choose from, but try and stay away from the companies that require a big upfront fee unless they have been around for at least 2 years or more.  Most start-up network marketing companies fail within a few years and you basically have a 90% chance if you join a new company that they won’t be around for very long.  You really have to think in terms of a 12 to 18 month period to really make big money in network marketing, so you really want to choose a company that will be around when you build a pretty big network.  You also want to find a company where you would buy their products whether or not a business opportunity was attached to it.  I’ve met very few people in my lifetime that can sell or market a product they don’t believe in.  If you need a great company or product to market – here is one that I recommend http://healthierwealthier.info .

Amazon & eBay Seller

If you don’t want to learn marketing and have a few dollars to invest you might want to look at Amazon or Ebay.  With eBay you can start even if you don’t have much money to invest by selling older items in your home (usually recommended starting out).  eBay is much easier to get started in as you don’t have the fierce competition as you do with Amazon as its more of an online flea market where as with Amazon, you’ll have to get really good at packing or finding some superb drop-shippers as I think the level of service on Amazon is usually a bit higher or expected to be.  Plus it will be tougher to get a good rating on Amazon early on and you will definitely want to have a professional account at all times to be taken seriously on Amazon which will cost you $40 per month + 15% per item, so you’ll want to really get good at estimating your costs after all expenses to see if an item is even worth selling.  Becoming profitable on Amazon and Ebay like anything else does take time and knowing what to buy and sell.  I’ve personally had some big losses in the past and even invested over $10,000 with a single company to sell on Amazon.  If you decide this is the way you want to go, I highly recommend you read some books and articles or take a course so you don’t lose money and make a profit everytime you sell something.  You will also need to get really good at customer service (answering emails, phone calls, etc).  Finally, if you’re willing to learn a bit, this can be one of the easiest ways to make money online.  I’ve personally in my spare time since selling on Ebay since 1999  and Amazon since 2012 made thousands of extra dollars very part-time this way.

Ridesharing

If you have a fairly new or reliable vehicle and don’t mind putting a few miles on it than ridesharing may be for you.  The nice thing about ridesharing is you don’t need any special skills that may be required to be successful in network marketing and affiliate marketing.  You just need to enjoy people and know how to drive a vehicle.  You definitely won’t get rich doing this, but you can certainly make a few extra bucks.  Many people do it very part-time and some do it full-time.  If you don’t have a newer vehicle Uber will allow you to rent a car through their app or lease one with no mile restrictions.  I would only consider the latter if I were going to drive more than 25 hours a week.  If you’re just going to do a few hours per week than using your own vehicle will make a lot more sense and be way less expensive as you won’t have the additional rental fees (which can run a few hundred per week).  There are also sites like hyrecar.com where you can rent a vehicle for pretty cheap if you like.  To get started with Uber or lyft the 2 best rideshare companies and begin earning dollars weekly just click on either of the 2 links below.  The best part about ridesharing is once you sign up and get your vehicle inspected you start earning money immediately and there are no up-front fees or additional expenses beyond gas, insurance, and regular maintenance which if you own a vehicle you already have anyway.

Start your own Home Based Business

If you have any special skills like accounting, social media management, graphic design, photography or you know how to play and read music.  You can apply any one of those skills to be of service to others or to teach.  Simply figure out what your good at and create a blog a few social media sites and begin advertising your service on sites like Craigslist or if you have a few bucks saved up you can use paid ads on Facebook, Twitter, Google, or Bing.  Its pretty tough to start a business on word of mouth, so once you figure out what business you want to make money in, you’ll need to get the word out that you have a business and get others to buy into it through marketing.

With the exception of Uber and Amazon & eBay, you will need to get good at marketing to have any reasonable success.  Keep in mind marketing is simply what happens before a sale is made.  Marketing can include telemarketing (phone), cold calling (in person or on phone), advertising (craigslist, google, etc), blogging, creating brand awareness by using Social Media.  You can also use older more tested sources (radio, TV, or Print).
