I noticed a few changes in MLM recruiting trends as the year 2012 started. First, the old blatant advertising methods will not work this year anymore. In the past, all it takes to make money online is to put up a lead capture page, send a dozen autoresponder letters, and promise the moon to the web visitors. Today, it doesn't work anymore...
Today, the outcry of the search engines and human readers is quality, quality, quality.
Lead capture pages are out. Content rich landing pages are in. Plainly commercialized autoresponder email are out. Good content and engaging info is more IN than ever.
So what does this have to do with MLM recruiting?
Everything.
You see, the internet is radically evolving into a place where low quality info are filtered out and only good quality info remain.
Which means, if you simply publish your affiliate link online, and flash a curiosity headline to impulse people into buying, people will detect it's a mere marketing.
This doesn't mean though, that you need to have a highly complicated website to market online. My humble network marketing website is a simple HTML formatted page, but it is one heck of a sponsoring machine.
Welcome 2012. Marketers are out. Content lovers are in. :)
Network Marketing Compensation Plans Are Not The Most Important Factor For You To Make Money
Network Marketing Recruiting - Who Are the Best Prospects to Recruit and How to Find Them?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Liam_Davis]Liam Davis
Deciding to learn how to create leads yourself is best thing you can do for your MLM business. Not only is it most cost efficient way to generate leads but the leads you generate yourself are always of the highest quality. This is a step-by-step plan on how to create leads using the internet.
How To Create Leads Step #1: Choose Your Target Market
The first step is to decide who your target market is. Are they people looking for any MLM opportunity? Are they people looking specifically for YOUR MLM opportunity? Are they other network marketers looking for training on the network marketing industry?
Deciding who your target market is, will help you with step #3, creating your special offer.
How To Create Leads Step #2: Capture Page or Blog
Now that you know who your target market is, you need a capture page or a blog to capture their details.
A capture page is a simple web page that has a description (in the form of sales copy) of what you have to offer, and an opt-in form where people can leave their name and email address (and their phone number if you like) in return for your offer or more information. You can also use an opt-in form on your blog, where you can encourage visitors to opt-in before they leave your site.
A capture page is ideal as you can create some compelling, TARGETED copy that will entice your visitors to enter their information in return for more details. (This is how you actually create your leads)
You can easily create the opt-in form for your site using an auto-responder service like: GetResponse or Aweber.
How To Create Leads Step #3: Special Offer
Now you need to create a special offer that you can give away to the people who opt-in to your site and become your leads.
If your capture page is specifically for your company, you could give away a "Special Insiders Report", training on how to be successful in your company, you could offer an "insiders" video tour of your companies back office, an interview with a top producer in your company...anything that you think people researching your company would be interested and find value in.
If your capture page is for people searching for network marketing and MLM in general, you could do the same as above, just make your offer a little more generic.
If you are targeting other network marketers who are looking for training, you could offer a video training series, an ebook or report, an audio training, a marketing bootcamp, etc. Once again, any kind of training that people would consider valuable.
(**Note** You have to offer a good, value packed product. If your free offer is junkie, people won't want it and you will be wasting your time. If you're not sure what to offer, make sure you click the link in the signature box, where I will show you a system that you can offer, that will provide you with capture pages and also help you make more money.)
How To Create Leads Step #4: Start Marketing
Once you have your capture page ready and your special offer in place, it's time to start marketing.
Thanks to the internet, you can market your capture page in a bunch of different ways. If you have the money to spend you can do Google/Yahoo/Bing or Facebook Pay-Per-Click advertising, or ezine and solo ads. If you're on a budget you can do article and video marketing, Facebook and Twitter marketing, forum marketing, etc...
Just make sure you are targeting your target market with your marketing and that you're leading the people looking at your content back to your capture page.
Once you've created your leads, it's now just a matter of building a relationship with your leads (via email or phone), and, once you have built rapport and trust, introducing them to your business.
Building your business really is easy when you know [http://workwithliamdavis.com/how-to-create-leads-for-your-mlm-business-step-by-step-instructions]how to create leads yourself.

Let's go to McDonald's for lunch today. Okay, I don't mean that. But as soon as you saw that word McDonald's, you instantly had a picture in your mind, correct? That is the power of branding. Recognition creates brand awareness and you are more likely to trust something you already know something about.
Let's look at another example. When people ask you if you searched for something on the internet, what is the most famous search engine you think of? Actually, people just say did you Google it? That is great brand awareness, especially when people use it in everyday language. Just Google it. I'll Google it. Let's Google it. Wow, Google has millions of people doing the branding for them!
The point is if you are learning to make money online, you will want to brand yourself in your MLM network marketing business also. When you brand, you create recognition, credibility and trust. If you don't brand, you are just another stranger to someone. So if you are building your MLM business online, branding is critical because there are so many websites and people on line, that you just become another statistic.
If you are working online now to grow your business, make sure you are offering value and share knowledge from your experiences. If you don't do this, people will just move on to someone else. Creating a blog is a great way to brand yourself and provide quality information for your readers. Share posts that add value to people and provide great content. Your readers will get to know you and your style. Add videos so that they can see you in real life. Your readers will need to know that you are a real person. You'll need to spend a fair amount of time branding your MLM business online in the beginning. What is really cool about working online and building your network marketing team is that you can get your system on autopilot, it works for you even when you are not!
Here are some tips to brand yourself if you have an online MLM business and offline:
1) Get connected in the community.
2) Create an eye catching blog with lots of photos and videos.
3) Offer value to people.
4) Be different.
5) Offer a powerful testimony.
6) Don't try to sell people the best MLM biz opportunity or company as everyone says this and it builds no credibility.
By branding, you will help the other person visualize and remember you even when you are not around. This is powerful. And you know if they remember, you've done a good job branding.

ONLINE MLM BUSINESS
Have you ever tried promoting your MLM business to friends and family members, to no avail? Have you ever tried advertising your biz in your neighborhood, posting signs, flyers, and giving away calling cards? If you’ve ever done any of those mentioned methods, I’m sure you have many war stories to tell. You’re still probably not a millionaire at this point and you’re actually losing more money than you actually make. Well, many distributors are experiencing the exact same thing.
There is a better way to make more money in network marketing. Instead of dragging your friends and family to a business opportunity meeting, hoping that they will sign up, you can use non-threatening and “automated” methods towards promoting your MLM program. Thanks to the internet, you can now use new marketing methods and strategies that would not have been possible to networkers two or three decades ago.
The easiest way to make money in MLM is to sell front end products first. Instead of directly promoting your business opportunity, offer something that your target market already needs and wants. Better yet, if you could sell something that they are already buying elsewhere and are willing to invest money in repeatedly, you can successfully penetrate the market. Your “front end” product must be dirt cheap and ideally below the price range of $14.95. It could be a physical product, a service, or a downloadable item.
Now, selling front end products is not your main goal. Your goal is to start an ongoing stream of cashflow to your business. You then invest your cash into more advertising, until a snowball of revenue accumulates. As you gradually increase the amount of your customers through weeks and months of selling, you then “back end“ those customers to your network marketing business. This means, you offer your business opportunity to active customers of your front end products. This also means, you earn money whether people join your business or not.
I’m not claiming in any way that this method is easier than the traditional way of network marketing. You will need to learn new skills, such as direct response advertising, website building, autoresponder follow up and many others. You also need to learn additional skills such as website building and marketing methods such as article writing and pay-per-click advertising. Scary? Not so. These things can be learned. And once you master how this online marketing process works, you can make more money easier than the traditional way of pressuring your family and friends, or posting flyers and signs in the neighborhood.
Too many people join an MLM business but they don’t have the skills to present their business opportunity to others. The result is that they become full of desire and passion to succeed, but they don’t have an outlet to channel that. So they end up feeling frustrated and as broke as when they first signed up.
There is no shortcut to learning how to present your business opportunity perfectly. But just like any other skill, mastering the art of presenting can be learned. The key is to start your presentation with a bang. Open up by stressing important benefits related to your business opportunity. Grab your prospect’s attention. Ask him a mind boggling question: “How would you like to earn an extra $10,000 per month in the next 12 months?” is just an example. You can try other openings to catch your prospect’s attention.
After you catch the prospect’s attention, you then smoothly transition to your “problem-solution” routine. This is the part where you stress a particular problem (or a set of problems) which your prospect might have. You are already aware of these problems because you have done your market research beforehand. For example, if you want to present your business opportunity to corporate people, stress the hardships and struggles of corporate life. Make them feel the pain for as long as it takes. Stress the problems and emphasize the struggles until it hurts. When it hurts so much, people will want to hear a solution. That solution is your product or business opportunity.
I have just given you the simple format towards presenting your business opportunity. First, you open with a huge attention getter. Next, you stress an important problem (or a set of problems) that your prospect has. Then, position your product as the solution to that problem or need. You can do this sequence in face to face meetings with prospects, or when you’re marketing online through a sales video or sales letter. If you can fill your website with this proven presentation sequence, you’ll doubtless get more customers.
But wait, there is one final step to presenting your business opportunity. After opening with a bang, emphasizing a painful problem, and presenting a solution, it is now time for you to close the transaction. In other words, you seal the deal with a powerful call to action. After you’ve already stated your case, simply ask, “Are you ready to get started?” or “Should we take the next step now?” or simply say, “Fill up this form right here.” Don’t underestimate this step. This is where the money is.
Multi-level marketing is a business model that lets products and services be distributed primarily through word of mouth advertising. In easier terms, MLM is a way of pushing products and services by simply telling it to others. Traditional marketing uses channels of distribution such as TV ads, newspapers, magazines, and radio to promote a business. Network marketing, meanwhile, promotes products through a circle of friends or primarily through a “network” of friends and relatives.
But today, many network marketers are shifting towards traditional methods of advertising. Many have begun to use radio, print, and online advertising. In fact, the competition in these ad networks has become very tight over the past few years. With everything that’s going on in the industry, what is the future of network marketing? Is it ok to use traditional advertising and prospecting methods?
In my opinion, doing traditional prospecting methods is not bad if (and this is a big if) there is a system of converting leads and prospects into raving customers. You can advertise and promote all you’d like, but if you can’t turn your ad respondents into signups and customers, you don’t earn money. Period.
The internet seems to be the best option towards advertising your business nowadays. Of course, I’m not saying this is the only way, but it is the best in our time. Never before has it been possible to write a three-line ad and potentially reach a million people with your advertising message. Google Pay Per Click Advertising, for example, can be a very beneficial tool for networkers who take an upfront selling approach, then a backend recruiting model.
All this simply means, the best way to advertise your MLM business is to advertise it online. Now, when you promote through the internet, you should sell upfront in order to get hungry customers. Once you have a regular stream of customers at your doorstep, you then “back-end” them into your business opportunity. That’s the process used by many MLM distributors who have taken their business online. It allows them to erase their advertising costs and automatically generate a stream of prospects, customers, and new distributors.
Implementing the plan above may not be easy at first. You have to learn some skills. You need to learn how to use online tools such as websites, blogs, and autoresponders. You also need to have a way of converting your leads into verified buyers and signups. All this can be learned. It is important to keep searching and learning new things everyday. There’s so much to learn from the internet.
There is a growing misconception nowadays popularized by MLM trainers and online gurus. They tell you that sponsoring your friends and relatives to your network marketing business is not a good thing to do. That is not true! You see, your “warm market” is a very rich source of leads, prospects, signups, customers, and referrals. If you know the right way to tap into it, that’s equal to money earned for you.
The problem though, with lots of network marketers, is that they approach their warm market the wrong way. You see, they drag Uncle Bob to the latest business opportunity seminar. They promise Aunt Betty that she will earn thousands of dollars if she just invested a certain amount of money. They “terrorize” their friends and persistently overwhelm them with get rich quick schemes and complicated compensation plans. These tactics will not work if you’re trying to tap into your warm market!
The best way to work your warm market is to simply be yourself. Don’t hard sell. Don’t get into long presentations. Just be yourself and don’t be ashamed of your business. Eventually, if your life is out in the open and everybody knows that you are working a network marketing business, some of your relatives will start to ask how you do what you do.
Friends and relatives absolutely hate it when you hard sell them. I mean, you would feel the same way, right? What if your nephew tries to hard sell you into buying something you think you don’t need? No doubt you’ll laugh and say, “Some other time nephew, you know I’ve got lots of things to do.” So don’t be a hard salesman. Just work your business wholeheartedly enough to generate interest from your relatives. When they start to ask about your business, just give them honest, reliable, and no holds barred information. Don’t hide stuff from them. Treat them as “insiders” and show them how to save money on their purchases. If you do this, you’ll win more of your friends and your relatives to your MLM program.
Have you ever tried working your warm market list? I’m sure you have lots of war stories to tell. However, I’m pretty convinced that warm market prospecting really works. I’ve sponsored many of my friends and relatives to my program and many of them benefitted from the business opportunity I offered. Don’t be afraid to approach your warm market. It is a very good source of highly interested prospects and referrals, if you know how.

More Network Marketing Strategies Than You Can Handle
By Henrik Lundin
If you want to build an effective online MLM business it's of critical importance that you positioning yourself as an expert and that you also put your message in front of as many laser targeted prospects as possible on a daily basis. Here are some steps that you can follow, and at the same time copy the most successful Internet MLM superstars out there today:
1.) Target Other Network Marketers And Make Easy Money By Recommending Products That They Are Buying Anyway: As a network marketer your best market is other network marketers, so you should position yourself to make money from the entire network marketing industry, where you for example sell your own generic MLM products and courses to them. Look at the most successful online MLM superstars out there today, and you'll see what I mean. For them it doesn't really matter if people join their primary MLM program or not, because they make money from the entire network marketing industry anyway.
The "MLM Gurus" make easy money by selling products that literally all network marketers needs and buys anyway. Products like for example: Their Own Generic MLM Products, Courses, Leads and Traffic programs, Site fees, Autoresponder subscriptions, Hosting, etc. So, while the "MLM Guru" makes easy cash, the other 95% of all network marketers running around on the "battle field" and trying to pitch each other on different MLM opportunities.
The "MLM Guru" has simply found a way to help other network marketers by solving their biggest problems. Instead of marketing and selling his primary MLM program, he has learned how to "solve" and "serve", where he sells his own products and courses to other network marketers. By doing this he position him self as an expert and win peoples trust and respect, and they will be more open to do business with him.
The "MLM Guru" understands that Network marketers are already spending money on information that can help them to get their MLM business to move forward. So, here he can make easy cash by selling courses to them on for example: "How To Build An Effective Online MLM Business".
2.) Set Up A Personal Website: Your real business is YOU! Your message, your story, your personality, your voice, etc. So another thing that is important once you are building your online MLM business is that you set up a professional website in YourName.com. This will help you to brand yourself and to stand out from all the masses out there. Again, if you look at the most successful "Internet MLM Superstars" out there today, then you can see that they all have understood the importance with having their own website, where they primarily market and promote themself.
3.) Set Up A Generic MLM Website Where You Position Yourself As A Leader, And Where You Offer Free Generic MLM Training To The Entire Network Marketing Industry: An effective online MLM business must have an environment with great Free resources such as, Membership sites, Toll Free Numbers, Audio and Video training, Conferance calls, Webinars, etc. Here you can offer Generic MLM training to the entire network marketing industry. By doing that you will brand yourself and win peoples trust and respect, and lead them in to your "Sales funnel", where you can show them your other products.
You see, if you don't offer Generic MLM training, then you can't target the millions of network marketers out there that have "NO" interest to join your particular MLM program. Remember that, over 95% of all people fail in network marketing, and the big majority of those people are looking for a Leader. So, once they have accepted you to be their Leader, then many of those people will join you.
4.) Set Up A Blog And Position Yourself As THE PERSON in Your Primary MLM Program To Go To For Help And Advice: When people are searching on the Internet for information about your primary MLM program, then you obviously want them to find you. One of the best way to accomplish that is that you set up a Blog where you post news and updates about your primary MLM company. The Google Algorithm loves Blogs, so your Blog will get indexed quickly and chances are that you are just one of the few people in your MLM company that uses this strategy. Also remember that, people that are searching for information on the Internet right now about your primary MLM program is your most targeted market, because they are already pre sold on your primary MLM company and opportunity.
The network marketing industry will always be around, and other network marketers will always be looking for more Leads and more Training. The simple truth is that other network marketers will always be eager on how to learn the secrets on for example: How to sponsor more people and how to get more Leads to contact for their primary network marketing opportunity.
Currently, there are over 1 billion people on the Internet and the truth is that your best prospects can be found online, because there is where they do their searching anyway. So, literally all network marketers out there today are interested in a guide that can teach them how to build an effective online MLM business.

MLM Business - The 7 Business Factors Test of a Multi-level Marketing Business
By Doug Firebaugh
So many people ask the same question: Is Multi-level Marketing a REAL Business? Is it truly a business that can produce a living and income? Is it a REAL distribution business? It is a business that operates for the customer's satisfaction, and always looks to gain new customers?
Here is the answer: YES.
How and why does it qualify as a business? Every business has certain traits and functions that are needed to do business and stay in business. We have developed what we call the "7 Business Factors Test", and you have to ask these questions to see if it qualifies as a business. All businesses, no matter whether it is a traditional business or a non-traditional business, (such as MLM), answer these questions in the affirmative.
What are the "7 Business Factors Test" Questions?
1) Does the MLM Business distribute goods and services of some type?
Answer: Yes.
In MLM, there are goods and services that are distributed through personal distribution methods, and they are distributed directly to the customer, with no middle man. These goods and services can be manufactured by the MLM company, but usually are not. The goods and services many times are manufactured by an outside source, and then shipped by the MLM Business to the customer or distributor. Then the distributor can take the goods, and re-sell them to their customers as well.
2) Does the MLM Business have an official Office, headquarters, or structure that the business is operated out of, and with an address of some type?
Answer: Yes.
All MLM businesses should have some kind of office or headquarters that the goods are shipped from, or at least in charge of the shipments getting to the customer. This does not have to be a fancy office, but one that can get all the tasks needed to run the business done in a timely fashion. They should have a visible address on all communication.
The distributor's business is usually operated out of the home, and that counts as a structure that the home business is housed.
3) Is there an accounting structure that is set up to run the business effectively and legally?
Answer: Yes.
All MLM businesses should have an accounting function and people set up to handle all business transactions. They not only keep the books for the MLM Business itself, but also the MLM distributor as well. The MLM Business from the home should have some form of an accounting system, for tax purposes, and for profit and loss statements. Accounting also helps keep the Company and distributor aware of the health of the business and how it is doing, or not doing.
4) Does the MLM Business have easy communication to get a hold of someone if needed?
Answer: Yes.
Communication is the lifeblood of any business, and MLM is no exception. MLM Businesses usually not only have an order line, and a distributor line, but a general public telephone number that the public can get in touch with them as well. Usually at the MLM Business Office, there is someone to answer the phone as well.
And the MLM business should also have an email system that is watched, and taken care of, on a daily basis. This is not only for the distributor base, but also the customers and public as well.
5) Does the MLM Business have the needed business licenses and legal structure to do business in the states and countries they operate in?
Answer: Yes.
All MLM Businesses that have been in business for any amount of time, must have the needed legal structure and licenses to operate in every state. If they do not, they will eventually be forced to cease doing business in that state. And most MLM Businesses have some form of a corporate structure that the company operates under. That could include being a C Corporation, an LLC, or a Sub S Corporation.
Even MLM distributor needs a business license to do business in their city, so they will not be penalized if they do not have one and are caught.
6) Does the MLM business operate on a FOR PROFIT basis?
Every successful business structure, traditional or non-traditional, should operate on a FOR PROFIT basis. Even the MLM distributor needs to operate on a FOR PROFIT basis. If the MLM business does not operate in a profit mode, and loses money continually, the MLM business will not be in business for that long.
It is the same way for the MLM distributor. If the distributor does not make any money, then they will not stay in business long.
7) Does the MLM business perform all of the needed business functions to increase business, including marketing, promotion, campaigns, running specials, advertising tools, customer service, brand extensions, research and development, direct marketing, increasing brand awareness, and keeping their vendors at an honest price?
Answer: Yes.
Every MLM business operates to increase business, using all of the functions mentioned, and more. Even the MLM distributor needs to perform some of those functions, to increase their own business in their marketplace. These are functions any business needs to do, in order to stay in business, and enlarge it's operating capacity.
Yes, an MLM Business is a TRUE business that operates to service the customer's needs, bring products and services to the marketplace, and show a profit at the end of the year.
MLM or Multi-level Marketing, has passed the "7 Business Factors Test." If an MLM Business you are considering does not answer all of the above questions YES, then you may want to consider seeking another MLM company that can pass this test as a Multi-level Marketing business.

Each time I see an MLM guru online, I find it hard to not respond with skepticism. The main reason is that there are hundreds, possibly thousands of them online. Nowadays it's hard to differentiate which ones are real and which ones are fake. The sad thing is that, the websites and sales letters owned by fake gurus look similar (and sometimes even more appealing) than the websites owned by real gurus. In effect, many people are being misled. This article will show you tips on how to find a right MLM mentor for you to follow.
First, examine the claims of the guru in question. If his or her promises are too good to be true and too much far out from reality, then it probably is!
Second, Google the name of the supposed guru. If he or she is a legit marketer, you'll see reviews and feedback about that person. You'll also see some of the websites and blogs that he or she owns. This will give you an idea about that person's reputation.
Third, examine the guru's sales points. If he engages in negative marketing, bad mouths other networkers and companies, or branding self more than usual, chances are you're dealing with a slick, salesman who's just out to get your money!
Fourth, email the "guru" personally. Ask him or her for helpful information regarding your business. If he cannot give useful advice, or if he avoids any kind of customer interaction, then you know you're dealing with someone who can't deliver!
I'm glad that I am not a guru and I have never claimed myself to be one. What I'm happy about is the way I've interacted with other people, whether they belong to my downline or not. If you want to succeed in your home based business, quit the MLM guru act and start being yourself. If you're following a mentor, make sure you are following someone who knows what he or she is doing. Follow your gut. Keep your eyes open. Use any helpful information you can get in order to achieve ultimate success.
MLM RECRUITING SECRETS AND TIPS - Click hereEvery serious network marketer, whether newbie or veteran, is in a constant lookout for good sources of leads and prospects. The problem though, is that there are a variety of lead generation methods out there, and it is difficult to determine which ones work and which don't. In an effort to gain more business, some entrepreneurs resort to buying MLM genealogy lead lists. But the question remains, is this a good method for getting excited new prospects or is it a total waste of time?
A genealogy list, also known as a genealogy report, is a database of names, phone numbers, and email addresses of people who are either active network marketers, or have been in an MLM opportunity in the past. Some trainers teach that acquiring this type of list is a smart business move because the people listed there are already familiar with the concept of network marketing.
My position is, these lists of active network marketers can both be good or bad for you. It is good if it is acquired with complete permission from the leads themselves. When they originally signed up to an opt-in page, website, or direct mail coupon, they should have been made aware that their contact information will also be made available to other marketers. Otherwise, if you directly contact these "leads" that you bought, they have the tendency to resist your marketing message because they never manually subscribed to you in the first place!
The rule of thumb is this: If you decide to buy a genealogy report, make sure you avoid sending unsolicited marketing emails to them. You are not allowed to send them a commercial message out cold. Instead, you can simply give them a call or send a postcard to their house (if you can handle that).
The bad thing about lead lists sold online is that many of them are rehashed, recycled, and resold lists that have already been used by thousands of other people before you. Don't get fooled by cheap lists that are being sold in the black market...they can be a nightmare for your pocket, and they yield very little results.
Instead of going out of your way buying MLM genealogy lead lists, choose a more classy way to run your business and get excited prospects. The better way is to learn how to generate your own leads. In short, build your own list and market to them constantly with their permission. While it may not be easy to go out on your own and acquire new prospects, it is ever rewarding and lucrative if you want to build a booming downline and long lasting residual income. That's what I personally do, and that's what I teach. If you want to learn how to do it, I can show you how.

You never know just when other people would decide to know more about you and your business. Having a thought-provoking and attention grabbing signature file will result in a constant stream of visitors to your primary network marketing business website.
Third, take note of threads and posts which became popular. Try to study why they generated tons of views and comments. If you keep your eyes open, you will discover what it really takes to create forum posts and threads that create massive response and tremendous exposure for you and your business. To fully take advantage of an MLM forum, you must be very observant, cooperative, and helpful. One simple post or reply could result in a sale, signup, or long term business relationship. You never know.
