The Right Mindset Makes It Easy For Your Business Blogging

BloggingBlogging is taking off like a wildfire. People are blogging about  just about anything you can think of. From the daily routine of their cat, to technology reviews, to politics.

Until the blogosphere sorts itself out and matures a bit more, it may be difficult to tell exactly how this new frontier of instant publishing can help you and your business grow. But don’t worry – you’ll start getting a flood of new ideas in the coming months.

Develop the Right Mindset About Business Blogging

For now, the most important thing you can do is develop the right mindset about business blogging. What you think about something, and how you strategize applying it in your business very often has more to do with success than the technology, tool, or resource itself.

With that in mind, here is the most important thing you can do. Keep your eye on people.

DO NOT get stuck on the “technology.” That’s what drove all the pie-in-the-sky dot.com dreamers into the financial abyss. It’s people and personal communication that matter most, and should always be a the center of all your thoughts, strategies, and actions.

Blogging is just a tool. But it’s a tool that can and should become a major support arm of your business. Why?

Because it exponentially multiplies the world’s oldest, most favored, and trusted form of information sharing — word of mouth.

Just ask yourself, whom do you trust the most to give you advice, recommendations, and information about opportunities, purchases, or choices? Someone you know and trust, right? Someone who you feel is just like you.

That type of trust comes from personal communication, social interaction, and the joining together of like-minded individuals. Blogging simply magnifies and expands that sense of community and more personalized communication, and then expands the reach across the entire world!

Link trust; with respect, positioning, and word-of-mouth and you have the makings of a powerful marketing arm that can initiate an ever-growing stream of highly targeted prospects.

Remember, it’s the relationships that matter most. Keep your eye on that fact, and you’ll always have the right mindset for business blogging that’s a benefit for you and your readers.

Are They Being Promoted Right Over Your Head?

So why is it that other people are being promoted or “shared” by everyone else?

It is because they are branding themselves in a way that offers value… they keep it real and by nature other people will see this sincerity and promote them & their products. Sometimes, most often than not, will partner up with them in business.

So if you have not done so yet, Get Your Name Out There!

Here are 4 simple tips to getting your name out there and marketing your online home business…. these are so simple and people already know this but yet, no one does it and if they do… they do it wrong. Wrong, meaning only going after the cash and not being sincere.

1. Get a Website

The most important element for any successful business in today’s industry is getting a personal website up. When peeps go looking for things, whether its for a product, service or online business… the internet is where they will start their search. It’s also where they go for reviews and recommendations before making their decisions. Basically, you need to be online if you want to be found.

There are plenty of totally free ways to get a site online like a blogger.com site, wordpress.org site or yahoo geocities site. OR a paid way (a way where you will have complete control vs a already hosted site) You can hook yourself up with your own hosting account – grab a domain at the same time – then upload a blog platform and get your name out way. It doesn’t have to be expensive or big and bright… a single tasteful web-page online will help people find and learn about you and your business.

2. Tell Your Neighbors

The people in your family and community may be some of the best contacts you’ll ever make. Though they may not do business with you directly, personal recommendations are the most impactful marketing tool out there. By letting the people around you know about your business, you’re potentially connecting with everyone in their social and business circles as well.

But don’t limit yourself to those you already know. Join a networking group online or community. Make connections and see whats working for others and what isn’t. It’s also a cool idea to get involved in communities that interest you personally too… maybe joining a book club cuz you love to read but you’ll also make great connections with even more people who want to see you succeed.

3. Take Advantage of Online Marketing

Just as in real life, your online peeps are the best marketing tools you can get – as long as they know about your business. Luckily, this is a group you can access from the comfort of your own home. With doing your personal social networking, think about creating a business page on Facbook or sending out biz related messages on Twitter. This will show people that you are serious about your business and will allow you to contact them easily about new content, valued content, biz tips or more info about your success in your company.

4. Be Knowledgeable

If you are deciding to start a business there is a good chance you know something about something. Figure what your special area of knowledge is, even if it doesn’t directly pertain to your business, and make yourself available for sharing that information with others. This will allow you to showcase your strengths and become a recognizable name to a larger group of people.

You could lead a webinar, a confrence call, a workshop in your area or seminar… or simply start a blog creating videos and articles about your topic. Doing how to’s and tips.

The important thing is to present yourself as a valuable, honest authority on which ever topic or business you chose.

Numis Network Super Saturday Highlights

Don’t know if anyone knows of Numis Network or not but this past Saturday here in Sacramento, Ca – The team put on an event to let more of the “Killa Kali’s” in on what Numis is and some easy duplicatable training to do right now after you get started… I know most people get hyped up after they join a new mlm or company, then sit there wondering… “now what?” I will admit I was the same way. More and more people are becoming aware of this newbie fate and stepping up as leaders to training these new young bucks what exactly to do when you get started with Numis.

But right now I am going to show you a video from the training that Ray Higdon (the only 6 star in Numis) did for us that day: Depending on how many people are watching this, it might be slow (its on my server) BUT be patient it is a great presentation.

Making The Right Decisions When Chosing A MLM Opportunity

One of the biggest factors of success in the business is your ability to pick the right MLM for you.  Obviously, there are many opportunities out there, but picking the right opportunity will ultimately decide your fate.

Does the company have the right systems in place?

How fast is it growing?

Most Common Mistake

So what is the number one mistake most network marketers make? It’s talking too much about their opportunity!

So what does it mean to talk too much? This is the most common mistake that I see in network marketers. You attend a presentation, hear from a great speaker on how much money you are going to make and come out of that meeting fired up and ready to sign up the world! So you set meetings or start calling people on the phone and telling them how excited you are about this new opportunity and how you and they are going to make a crap load of money only to get rejected by your supposed friends and or family members.

There are a couple things wrong with this approach. Number one, you do not have the information to even be discussing the opportunity if you have only been to one presentation and two, whatever you say or do is absorbed and analyzed by the person you are talking to as exactly what they have to do to build the business and if you are bending their ear for 30 minutes or more, they know they do NOT want to do that!

So, what should your approach be? It is certainly a good idea to tell your friends and family members what you are doing but it’s a much better approach to stay vague about it and talk to them for less than 10 minutes. One thing you may try is talk with the person that sponsored you and get him/her to agree to help you with your prospects. That way, you can tell your friends, family members and any prospects that you don’t know everything about it but your friend can fill in the details. Another way is to get them to a presentation like you attended. A great, non-threatening way is to say “Look, I respect you, I think you respect me, come to this meeting and if you like it, Great, but if not, no big deal!”

Who To Approach and How

Who should you approach? It would be easy to say, EVERYONE, however, that is probably not the case. I look for positive, like minded individuals that I actually want to work with. You most certainly want to tell your friends, family or any lead you are generating, about what you are doing but again, do not chase, beg or bug them, just let them know what you are doing so they know. If you are in a fast growing network marketing company, there will be instances when people join AFTER you have joined as they did not know you were in it already. I have personally had this happen to me many times so DO NOT make this mistake!

So, how to approach people about your opportunity? Do not overload them with information or your excitement. It should almost be like fishing. Throw some bait out there and see if they bite. Ask them how they are doing and when they ask you how you are doing you might say something like: “I’m doing great, I’m working on this new project that is really amazing, oh, by the way, how are your kids?” Dropping a line like that might illicit them asking you for more information. Be prepared to answer them with another brief sentence or two about your opportunity. You do NOT want to appear like you are pushing it, but, as they become more intrigued you can share a little more but be very careful not to go in for the kill too quickly. If you want a really, really good book on networking, I highly recommend Bob Burg’s Endless Referrals, which, Amazon has on sale here – Endless Referrals, Third Edition Just don’t “throw up” your opportunity on people.

Overcoming Objections

You’re involved in a pyramid scheme! Only the people at the top make money! I don’t know anyone! I am dead broke and can’t afford it!

Have you ever heard any of those objections? If you are in network marketing I bet you have heard them many, many times! So let’s discuss overcoming these most common objections.

You have a couple approaches to the “You’re involved in a pyramid scheme” objection. Here are a few answers that may help:

- Do you say that out of personal experience or sheer ignorance?

- Do you work for someone? Ever notice how the owner makes more than the managers that make more than the supervisors that make more than the employees that make more than the janitor? If you drew that out graphically, THAT would be a pyramid! Don’t take my word for out, some gentlemen you make have heard of; Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, wrote a book on it and said this exact thing. In fact, in a recent interview Donald Trump said that if he had to do it over he would have done a network marketing company! And how about the richest man in the world, Warren Buffet, buying a network marketing company (pampered chef) for $400 million! I don’t know about you, but I suspect those guys know a little more about money than I do.

- Yeah, you are right; this may not be for you.

Now, how about that last response? That is known as the takeaway and that will allow you to never get too stressed over network marketing. It is your ace in the hole. The second biggest mistake made by network marketers is spending too much time on the wrong people!

Now, the second objection of  “Only the people at the top make money” is pure hogwash. It’s how hard are you willing to work. You can partner up with me in my primary business and do much better than me or worse than me or do absolutely nothing at all.

The third objection of “I don’t know anyone” is an easy one to overcome. Have them immediately pull out their cell phone and ask themselves for each individual in the phone if they are interested in receiving the benefit of whatever product you are promoting and or making extra money on the side. They should be able to come up with at least thirty people.

The fourth objection of “I can’t afford it” may be a little tougher but in probably 90% of the times, it is not the true objection. Do they go to Starbucks everyday? Do they buy lotto tickets? Do they go out to eat all the time? Do any of those activities TRULY give them an opportunity to possibly retire early? The other way to approach this, and the one that I prefer, is to ask them if they had planned on being broke when they reached the age they were at. Because if they are broke doing what they are doing, isn’t it time for them to at least TRY something different? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Keep it real with people.

Keeping the Faith

Now, you have to realize that network marketing is one of the ONLY businesses out there that does not have a 5 or 10 year plan to retire, you can legitimately be wealthy after only 1 or 3 years in the right company. And that is without a college degree, very much risk and building it part time! If you work any network marketing company for any length of time you are going to hold meetings where not one person shows up. You are going to get a whole lot of people tell you that you are crazy and or it is a scheme and tell you NO. So what! If you have a bad day at work do you go in the next day? You probably do and what is bad is the job probably has a 30 year retirement plan that will pay you peanuts when you are too old to work anymore!

There are a lot of great books out there for keeping the faith. One of my favorites is Rhonda Byrne’s, The Secret, which, you can pick up here from Amazon - The Secret . I imagine that a lot of you have read this one already and if you have, READ IT AGAIN!

One surefire way to keep the faith is to MAKE MONEY! It is so important for you to keep in contact with your team via email, phone, or whatever means is best for you and your team. Do for them and they will, naturally, want to do for you.

Let me know what you guys think by leaving your comments below! Make it a great day peeps : )
