You want your business to explode? But you're afraid to approach your warm list?
So not much is happening? You're not approaching anyone? In fact you're pretty much treading water right now…?
You can certainly use pay-per-click or article marketing to create a stream of prospects to your website… but what if you're not totally computer and internet savvy… what are you going to do then?
Here's what you do… step by step… to create an explosion in your business!
You start leading with the product instead of the opportunity… but there's a trick to this and it takes a bit of lead time.
First you write a book on one of your products and offer it for free on your website! And don't panic! I'll show you a really easy way to do it.
People have an automatic respect for published authors. If you've written a book, people will take you seriously… you surely must be an expert if you're in print. All of a sudden their perceptions about you are changed. They want to read your book… especially if it's free!
Let's say you're in a health and wellness related MLM, which lots of us are.
You find the product in your product line that has the most sex appeal and you write a book on the subject.
Weight loss is big, big, big and you really should be grabbing onto this market if you can. But if you don't have a weight-loss product then go with whatever you've got or join an MLM that has one.
I've written a book called "Lose Weight Never Go Hungry". If you'd like to see what my book looks like, just click my link below and request my MLM book , then shoot me an email and I'll send you a copy.
If none of your products are particularly sexy (I find most people can't really get excited about vitamins for instance and we end up beating a dead horse) then choose a product that is somehow related to "weight loss" or whatever else you can think of to add some excitement to your approach.
Let's go with the weight loss idea for now:
From here you create a sexy story about your product or about this ingredient in your vitamin/mineral line that really helps with weight loss.
Now here's your new approach. You say to anyone you come in contact with, warm or cold market:
"Hey John/Mary, did you know I'm in the weight loss business. I've written a book. It deals with the way that certain vitamins and minerals can really help to make weight loss easier. Everywhere I turn people seem to be looking for an easy way to lose weight. Do you know anyone who might like to lose the craving and drop a few pounds? Tell you what; why don't I email you the URL for my book."
So what can be sexy about vitamins?
Here's one great idea:
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
"Scientists believe that many humans are genetically predisposed to obesity. Brain serotonin levels seem to have a major influence. Serotonin tells us to stop eating after we are full. If we're down on serotonin, our brain does not tell us to stop eating. So we keep right on eating and gain a lot of weight."
"Serotonin in the brain is produced from 5- HTP. Animal studies show that supplementing with 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) turns off the craving for food."
Here's another one:
Chromium
Insulin insensitivity is considered by many modern scientists to be another major cause of obesity. Chromium plays a key role in increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Without chromium, insulin's action is blocked, blood sugar levels are elevated, and the sugars turn to fat instead of muscle and lean tissue.
Increase insulin sensitivity with a supplement rich in Chromium and you can help strip away that fat.
So what about that?
All of a sudden instead of that boring old vitamin line that nobody really wants to hear about, you have a sexy, little known supplement that can really help reduce hunger cravings.
Do your own research and you'll come up with lots of ideas. In fact I think it's such a great idea that I'm going to write a short book or a report on this very subject myself.
How do you write the book?
This is really simple… you just Google a phrase like "vitamins minerals weight loss" and you'll get 2 million hits. Browse the articles that are relevant, choose the parts you like and copy and paste them into a book. Then re-work the content so you're not lifting the authors phrasing directly and you've got your book. It can be as short as 10 pages of 12 point type in Microsoft Word… say about 3000 words. Try not to make it more than 20 pages. You want the reader to finish it.
Now you have broken the ice, your prospect knows you're in business and you can follow up. My number of warm market approaches exploded when I did this. There is virtually no rejection.
But I like to be hitting all the bases, so I'm still very active online too.

Secrets of MLM Success--The Easiest Way to Make Big Money Fast!
What's the easiest way to build a big MLM business fast?
Incorporate the internet into your prospecting process!
The trick is to come to grips with the reality of the business!
Give up looking for the easy way and find the "best" way! Accept that right now you don't know what's the best way to do it.
If you're looking to generate $100,000 a year in "residual income" down the road then you would need to have $2 million invested in Government Bonds at 5% to get it. That's a lot of money and very, very few people ever get $2 million in cash together to invest.
That's a big job you're taking on!
Look what you're setting out to achieve… you don't have very much starting capital but you're looking to build a business in a few short years that is equivalent to having $2 million invested.
No wonder MLM seems difficult! The rewards are amazing!
Click on my link below and download my book. I'll show you how to do it.
Here's how to make it easy…
What do you need to build any MLM business?
You need a list of people to contact.
And this is where traditional MLM falls right on its face!
We all hate rejection. There's a part of our brain that does everything in its power to keep us from getting into situations where we might be rejected. Less than 5% of people are sales personalities. Sales people still hate rejection but they're not immobilized by it. The rest of us will do whatever it takes to avoid it.
So the typical route taken by most MLMers is to approach two people, get two rejections and quit. They're not weenies. They can't help it. Their limbic brain has taken them out of the game to protect them from the pain of rejection. I've had panic attacks that felt like heart attacks over this stuff.
So the trick is to build your prospect list on the internet so you don't ever have to go through the rejection experience.
I can help you here!

Secrets Of Online MLM Success--Market Your Product Online And Explode Your Downline!
When it comes to building a Network Marketing or MLM business people seem to naturally choose one of two approaches to build their downline according to personal preference and how they were first introduced to their opportunity.
There are two basic lines of attack as far as I can see:
1. Prospect with the business opportunity.
2. Prospect with the product.
Each of these has its own advantage and I used to be 100% focused on prospecting with the opportunity because I felt better about that. Recently I've begun prospecting with the product and I'm amazed at how easy it is. I use a combination of 100% internet, telephone cold calls plus sending them to a capture page on the internet, emails, phone or face to face with friends and associates then send them to a capture page and I also pass out business cards and flyers to strangers with my capture page URL attached.
The capture page offers a "Free Book"… in my case a book on a weight loss system.
Weight Loss is huge and I decided to grab a piece of it. The market is estimated at $50 billion per year. You will find that dieting and weight loss are the biggest searched items on the web after pornography and online dating.
Once they log into my webpage, give their contact information and get their free book my autoresponder then sends them a pre-written automated series of emails explaining in detail how the weight loss system works and how they can get their product for free by joining my MLM team and duplicating my system.
And then I show them how they can get started on building a huge business of their own
I supply all the books, emails and web copy so it's pretty much a turkey operation.
If you want really fast growth then the secret here is to be marketing a product that truly does deliver on its promises and is in a hot market with high demand. Your customers will purchase your product, use it and get the result they desire and be motivated customers for life. They will refer your product to others because of their own successful experience and they will join your business to make money from their referrals.
This process really does work and the approach is pretty much rejection free.
If you write articles on your product category and include a link to your book you will get a flow of prospects from the internet.
Click my link below if you want to learn more about this. You'll find my email in the book. Just shoot me an email and I'll send you my weight loss book if you want to see what a free product related book looks like.

Secrets Of Online MLM Success: Why Weight Loss Is The Perfect Online MLM Business!
Lead with the business or lead with the product. What's best?
I used to be 100% focused on the business, leaving the product to take care of itself. But then over time I noticed how loyal our Preferred Customers were and how their contribution to bottom line continued to grow.
I use every technique available to attract new associates. I use 100% internet, telephone cold calls where I send them to a capture page or video on the internet, emails, phone or face to face with friends and associates then send them to a capture page and I also pass out business cards and flyers to strangers with my capture page or video URL attached.
And here's where we come to Weight Loss
Weight Loss is huge and I decided I wanted a piece of it. The market is estimated at $50 billion per year. You will find that dieting and weight loss are the biggest searched items on the web after pornography and online dating.
I've always known we had a great Weight Loss product and people were having huge success with it, but I just didn't know how to approach overweight people. I know this is an emotionally charged area for people struggling with an overeating compulsion and I just didn't want to embarrass them with an approach for a weight loss system.
So where to start? I just didn't know.
But like all things, if we have a focus on an idea the solution will appear like magic right out of the blue.
I was following up on a lady business associate who had shown some interest in a second stream of income but hadn't really run me over with her enthusiasm. She said: "Jim, I just can't get excited about the product line. Now… show me a way to easily lose 10 or 15 pounds and I'm in."
I said: "You don't really need to lose weight".
And she replied: "Show me a woman who doesn't always want to lose 5 to 15 pounds"!
And there was my answer!
So I went into high gear, wrote a book on our weight loss system and created all of the web pages and autoresponders to get it online.
If you want to see what I've done with this just click my link below and download my book. Then send me an email asking for the Weight Loss Book. I don't want to post it here because this is an article on MLM.
When prospecting on the phone or in person I use the "Kim Klaver" approach:
"I run a weight loss business. I've written a book about how it works. Do you know anyone who would be interested in reading a book on weight loss. It's free and you can get it online. Here's the URL."
It's so simple!
They visit my web page, get their free book and the autoresponder does all the follow-up. If they leave their phone number and I'm not too busy I might give them a call.

Secrets Of MLM Success--Build On The Internet-Get Fast Success Without Rejection! Here's how...
What's the easiest way to build a big Network Marketing/MLM business fast?
Use the internet to gather prospects, make presentations and do the follow-up for you.
You need to build a huge list of prospects… hundreds and then thousands and the internet is the most efficient way to do this.
But how exactly do you make that happen?
Here's what you do!
The first thing is to register a domain name (that's the URL for your website minus the www. and the .com parts at the front and back) and get a hosting account setup.
GoDaddy.com is as good a place as any to do this and the price is right.
Next you need to create and upload your capture page with opt-in form attached to your website. If you want to click my link below and register for my newsletter I'll send you some free software to do this. It's really easy to use.
You'll also need an auto-responder account. This is where you'll create your "Opt-in" form to insert in your webpage.
AWeber is a very professional auto-responder service and well priced too.
Your auto-responder will also send a timed series of follow-up emails to your visitors. The bad news is that you'll need to have a series of follow-up emails written. You can start with 5 emails but eventually you'll need 20. Make sure you provide lots of "how-to" content if you want your subscribers to remain loyal.
From time to time you will send out a broadcast email to your list with an offer of a "for sale" product they can buy from you. This is how you will begin to create the marketing budget you will need to help you grow faster via Pay-per-click and advertising.
And of course you'll need your free book-either one you wrote yourself or one you have a license to distribute. You offer this free gift on your webpage as an "thank you" gift for people who decide to subscribe to your list.
If you don't think you can write well enough, you can distribute one of my free books to anyone you like as long as you don't alter it and you leave the links intact. It will get you started until you create your own. Click my link below to get a copy if you think it will be useful to you. I'll show you a way to get a license so you can personalize it with your own name and details.
The visitors that do enroll for your free book will be highly qualified, targeted prospects for your business opportunity.
How do we get these prospects to visit our site?
There are a few methods that work very effectively: Pay-per-Click, Article Marketing, Ezine Advertising and Chat Groups.
Of these, Pay-per-click is probably the easiest and fastest but also can become very expensive. Article writing on the other hand is virtually cost free once you have your website and auto-responder set up, but unfortunately is slower to get started and requires quite a lot of focus and commitment. But the prospects from article marketing will be the best you'll ever get… except for your Mum and your brother-in-law.
I cover these topics in more depth in my books so click my link below if you want more info.

Secrets Of MLM Success: Use the Internet To Easily Enroll Strangers Into Your MLM Business.
Sometimes we meet someone who we know has the personality to be great in our business… but we're afraid of the rejection if we approach them.
Why not combine face to face and the internet and expand your toolkit.
Here's the scenario:
You're standing in line at Starbucks. A really sharp person is standing in the line in front of you or behind. They look like they'd be great in your business.
What are you going to do?
Well if you want to add a lot of prospects to your list you better show up with your gun loaded for bear. The most efficient process, time wise, will be to send this person to your webpage to get your free book. You want to do everything you can to take the stress out of the situation for yourself and you and to make it easy for the person to say "Sure, give me your card or website".
So you will need to have your webpage with your opt-in form already active on the net. You'll also need an autoresponder account and a series of follow-up emails written. And of course you'll need your free book-either one you wrote yourself or one you have a license to distribute. For instance you can distribute my free book to anyone you like as long as you don't alter it and you leave the links intact. It will get you started until you make your own. Click my link below to get a copy.
Don't panic that most of these prospects won't actually visit your site. How many actually show for a meeting anyway? The ones that do enroll for the free book will be highly qualified.
You can of course ask for their card and phone them in a few days if they don't show up at your autoresponder… but if you want to work mostly online then just approach them, give them the website and move on.
Here's how you approach them. Shoot the breeze for a few moments and then just say:
"I've started a new business I'm really excited about and I'm looking for a new partner to work with. I think you could be really successful. You have a great personality (or whatever is appropriate). It's a Network Marketing business. Let me ask you a question: Are you at a time in your life where a Home Based Business could be a good fit for you?"
You'll get a lot of "no interest" responses, but more people than you imagine will be interested.
If they show some interest just say:
"I have a free book you can download from my website about how it all works and how you could participate. Here's my card; the website is on there. Take a look and call me if you have questions."
Sure a few of them will blow you off, but most of them will be polite. After a few tries you'll be way more confident.
If they say: "Network Marketing… isn't that a pyramid like Amway or something?" you can decide whether to continue the conversation or not. If they get on their high horse and try to put you down, let them go. You don't need people like that in your life. They only react like that because they have self esteem issues and you have wounded their vanity by not realizing that they're way too important to do "something like that". Feel amused by their little personality weakness… then get them out of your life ASAP. They'll poison your dream.
And then get back to business as usual!
I think in MLM it's best to have as many things as possible working for you. The Internet is a great tool for building a list of prospects.

You can of course ask for their card and phone them in a few days if they don't show up at your autoresponder… but if you want to work mostly online then just approach them, give them the website and move on.
Here's how you approach them. Shoot the breeze for a few moments and then just say:
"I've started a new business I'm really excited about and I'm looking for a new partner to work with. I think you could be really successful. You have a great personality (or whatever is appropriate). It's a Network Marketing business. Let me ask you a question: Are you at a time in your life where a Home Based Business could be a good fit for you?"
You'll get a lot of "no interest" responses, but more people than you imagine will be interested.
If they show some interest just say:
"I have a free book you can download from my website about how it all works and how you could participate. Here's my card; the website is on there. Take a look and call me if you have questions."
Sure a few of them will blow you off, but most of them will be polite. After a few tries you'll be way more confident.
If they say: "Network Marketing… isn't that a pyramid like Amway or something?" you can decide whether to continue the conversation or not. If they get on their high horse and try to put you down, let them go. You don't need people like that in your life. They only react like that because they have self esteem issues and you have wounded their vanity by not realizing that they're way too important to do "something like that". Feel amused by their little personality weakness… then get them out of your life ASAP. They'll poison your dream.
And then get back to business as usual!

Secrets of MLM Success--How To Deal With The Big Question: "Is This A Pyramid Like Amway?"
When it comes to prospecting for MLM most of us are scared of the "what is it?" or "is this MLM" question.
Just knowing that question is lurking in the background waiting to pounce is enough to cripple us totally or at least turn us into stumbling idiots tripping over our own words.
Ever been there? I certainly have.
So what's the answer?
The answer is deceptively simple. Just don't put yourself in the situation where that question can arise!
How to do that?
There's a couple of ways:
The first is to prospect 100% online. If you want to learn how to do that just click my link below and get my free book and I'll show you.
The second is to tell them what it is upfront; just don't use the curiosity approach!
I know… I know! Your sponsor and all those other gurus have been telling you to absolutely not come out and say it's MLM or Network Marketing. But if you're not making those approach calls anyway because you're immobilized by fear, then what have you got to lose?
I believe the secret to MLM Success to go fast by starting slowly.
How does that work?
Don't rush out and start calling your list and try to hide from them the fact that this is MLM. Warm them up first. It is MLM! Don't hide it. Either tell them upfront or be totally ready to tell them it's Network marketing if they ask.
People hate to feel they've been tricked.
There's nothing to be ashamed of about MLM. It's a great business. It's the curiosity approach that makes people angry, so don't feel you have to use it.
Here's what you do:
Make a list of all your family and close friends and simply tell them casually in conversation: "Hey, you know what I'm really excited about. I've started a new home based business. There are lots of tax breaks and the chance to make a lot of money. I think this can really put us on the road financially… I'll let you know how it goes".
And then swing the conversation back to them: "So what have you been up to?"
That's it! Don't say anymore about your business unless they ask questions.
Some will ask you questions and some won't.
Let your answers be really low key.
And this is critical…
Absolutely do not jump in and ask if they'd be interested in looking at "your" business until they really put it out there that they are looking for something! You opened the door. Wait for them to walk through and then give them the information they ask for.
Over time keep them informed of your progress. Just casually drop it into the conversation. One thing I like to do is to ask their advice on something. Maybe something like: "Are you any good at writing? I wonder would you mind looking over something I've written". And just let it roll from there.
You'll be amazed how easily it will flow given some lead time.
