5 Winning Strategies For MLM Success

5 Winning Strategies For MLM Success


1 Find Your Niche
Sure you want everyone to benefit from the opportunity for freedom you have to offer, but face it... not everyone has an interest in extracting themselves from their comfort zone. Successful MLM marketers are willing to step out on a limb, and to change themselves. No, it’s not for everyone.

Who are the people most likely to be ripe for a change? Identify your prospects, and target your marketing strategies toward them. Don’t waste time and energy casting your pearls before the swine. Invest where it counts.

2. Invest In Low Cost Leads
Bigger isn’t always better, though we tend to think so! Small ads, postcards, and other low cost advertising methods are powerful advertising agents. They’re small, too the point and effective... generating a higher than average percentage of inquiries.

Leads are crucial to MLM success. You don’t necessarily have to make the sale with the advertisments. Making contact is just as important. Your advertisement may simply direct them to your Website where you gather the contact information you need.

3. Stir Up Desire
Most people have dreams tucked away deep inside. Many have lain dormant for many years. You never know who it is that will respond to your advertising campaign, but you can be sure that it’ll take an emotional connection to spark them to action.

Emotional advertising is effective because it puts people in the seat of the purchaser, or in this case the MLM marketer. They get to feel the bonuses and freedom of financial success. They can experience the joy of being their own boss, with a few cleverly written words.

4. Call To Action
The best time to encourage a prospect to make a commitment is NOW. Immediate action is they key to claiming the sale or signing up a new member. Think about it... when procrastination takes part in the picture... nothing much gets accomplished. Sure, they’re going to get around to it someday, but usually someday never gets here.

5. Follow UP
What happens when a prospect doesn’t bite the first time you put the bait in front of them? Well, that’s pretty much up to you. They can sit around and eventually forget all about the offer you dangled in front of them. Or... you can keep a line of contact open that constantly reminds them of the opportunity that is just waiting for them to snatch up.

Implement follow ups and you’ll increase your success rate by 50 percent. Check back every month for a while, then every 6 months. A lot can happen in life during a six month period. You never know just what changes might spur them into doing something else with their life... you want to be there for them at that perfect time

10 Ways To Keep Visitors At Your Site Longer

The more time people spend at your web site, the
more time you'll have to persuade them to buy your
product or service. Below are ten powerful ways to
keep visitors at your web site longer.

1. Provide your web site visitors with content they
can't read anywhere else. People will stay longer at
your web site to read the original content.

2. Remind your web site visitors they can print out
your content. They may browse around your online
store while it's printing.

3. Offer your web site visitors a freebie if they take
the time to fill out your online survey. They'll be at
the site longer and might b.uy something afterwards.

4. Offer your visitors free software that they can
download right from your web site. While they are
waiting they might read your ad.

5. Provide a huge online directory of information
that your visitors could search. The directory must
contain information your visitors would want.

6. Make sure all your web pages load fast or your
visitors will leave fast. Time is precious; they won't
waste it waiting for your site to load.

7. Tell your visitors what's offered at your web site
at the very beginning. If people are confused about
what's being offered they may leave too early.

8. Publish your web site professionally. People will
get turned off and leave if they see a lot of spelling
and grammar mistakes.

9. Make your site text easy to read. Most people
won't strain their eyes trying to read text that is too
small, light or bright.

10. Use headlines and sub headlines all over your
your web site that will grab visitors attention. It will
attract them to explore your web site longer.

"Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding." -- Proverbs 4:7

10 Secrets To Improving Your Website's Conversion Ratio

According to the so-called experts, a decent conversion
ratio is right around one percent. In other words, one out
of every one hundred visitors to your website converts to a
sale.

Personally, I think you should ignore what the experts say,
and strive to achieve as high a conversion ratio as
possible. You should never be satisfied. You should always
be looking for ways to improve your conversion ratio. My
website consistently converts anywhere from 3 to 5 percent,
and often converts as high as ten percent!

Unless you're selling a big-ticket item and making $100
or more per sale, it's extremely difficult to make any real
money with only a one percent conversion ratio.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and if your
website is attracting hundreds or even thousands of visitors
a day, then obviously you can do quite well with a one
percent or lower conversion ratio.

But what if you don't have that kind of traffic--and most
websites don't. Then what? What if you're selling a $20 e-
book and you're only attracting a hundred visitors a day to
your website? With a one percent conversion ratio, that
means your website is making a measly $20 a day. And believe
me, that's much more common than you realize.

However, what if you could improve your conversion ratio to
3 percent? 5 percent? All of a sudden, you're making $60 to
$100 a day with the same amount of traffic. Improve your
conversion ratio to ten percent and voila, that $100 a day
turns into $200 a day!

So, how do you go about improving your website's conversion
ratio? Here are some tips that should help:

1. Make sure your visitors know what you do, the instant
they land on your website. Don't make them have to guess.
Tell them right up front with a benefits-laden headline.

2. Make sure the design of your website is up to par? Make it easy to navigate. Get rid of distracting flash or
stupid, meaningless graphics that are a waste of everybody's
time and take forever to load? Simplify your website. Get
rid of the flash, graphics and pop-ups!

3. Use psychologically effective colors. The color blue
suggests quality, trustworthiness, success, seriousness,
calmness--the perfect choice for sales pages. Avoid purple,
which connotes uncertainty and ambiguity, and only use
yellow to highlight key words and phrases. In addition, try
to have as much white space as possible. This makes for a much cleaner looking, easier to read website.

4. Get your own domain name. URL's that contain names
like, "Geocities", "Angelfire" or "Tripod" have amateur
written all over them.

5. Prove what you say. Back up your claims with cold, hard,
indisputable and verifiable facts?

6. Put your name, telephone number and street address
on your website?

7. Use authentic customer testimonials, complete with
first and last names? Just make sure you get your customers
permission first.

8. Offer a fair and reasonable money-back guarantee? Thirty
days is good. Sixty or ninety days is better!

9. Make it easy for your customers to pay. And offer a
variety of payment options. I can assure you, if you're
using Paypal only, you're losing sales. There are a lot of
people out there, myself included, that just won't do
business with Paypal. It's too much of a hassle!

10. And last but not least, make sure you have a powerful
sales letter. A strong and effective sales letter can blast
your earnings into the upper stratosphere!

If you aren't capable of writing that type of sales letter
yourself, hire a copywriting expert to write it for you.
