I think there is a concept that may be overlooked in the network marketing industry.  It has to do with making a transformation instead of a quick transaction with your prospects. If you want the team you build to stick, so to speak, and not quit, you have to make a transformation in their life and not just make a simple transaction.  In most sales or retail jobs, there is one motive and that is to make a transaction. This means the customer finds what they are looking for, buys and leaves. The store has made a sale, nothing more. Hopefully you are not duplicating the same process in your network marketing business. If you are, your business may be heading in the wrong direction and some things need to change. This business is not about you, it’s about other people and building relationships. It’s about making a connection and helping them achieve their goals. We are in the business of transforming others lives and trying to make a difference. My business mission is “Making a World of Difference, One Life at a Time.” It may be simple, but it explains why I’m in the business, to make a difference.

To be honest, network marketing is not rocket science and there is not a magic pill to succeed.  They make it much harder than what it needs to be.  The key is to listen, listen, and listen more.  Not only listen, but be genuinely interested in what others are saying.  We were given one mouth and two ears for a reason.  If you don’t ask questions and completely listen to the answers you will have no idea how you can help them and truly transform their life.  If all you do is talk and “sell” your opportunity, you will only get a transaction if they decide to move forward.  You have essentially talked them into it like a car salesman.  They will more than likely think about what they have just been talked into over the next couple of days or weeks and quit.  If this is the duplication process, your business is not going to move forward.

Remember, the more you give other people what they want, the more you get of what you want.

1- Add posts regularly. The search engines love it when your web site shows activity. Adding relevant information, by writing to your blog each day for example, will go a long way toward giving you a higher ranking in the search engines.

2- Article Marketing. This is a simple and effective task of bookmarking your blog posts to social sites, such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Backflip, Delicious, etc.  The average clickthrough rate of article marketing is as much as 5% higher than with traditional marketing and PPC.

3- Participate in high-traffic discussion forums and create an attractive forum signature that contains your link on it. One example is yahoo answers.  Answer questions in your related field of expertise and make sure to include a link to your or website.

4- Submitting a video can be extremely powerful and help you get free traffic to your website very fast. If your video is relevant, funny and controversial it can create a buzz. YouTube would be an excellent source for this kind of traffic.

5- Put an e-mail signature with your web site address at the end of every e-mail you send. You can automate this process by creating a signature file in your e-mail program.

6- Create a free report, e-book or some other form of information that you give out when people go to your website and sign up to receive your newsletter. Make sure your URL is prominent throughout this information so that when people pass it around, you get some traffic.

7- Blogrush.   This is a great tool for driving free traffic to your website.  The best thing about this free program is that is sends free traffic from your target audience.  Brilliant idea.

To get free traffic to your web site is not really difficult if you willing to take some of these added steps.  Feel free to leave a comment to add to this list.  I’m sure there a several other ways to get free traffic that I have not mentioned.

I felt I needed to share this valuable information with you before time runs out.  I wouldn’t be providing you a service if I kept this to myself.  Mike Dillard has just released a great training tool called Building On a Budget.  Mike understands that it can be tough when you are building your business with limited funds, but you are not at a disadvantage just because of this.  He is offering you a special release sale which includes a lot of bonuses including his 90-day, 100% money back guarantee.  Time is running out though and that is why I thought it was necessary to get this out.  This introductory price is only good until midnight, Thursday March 6, 2008.

 Click here to check it out.

Well the time has expired to receive the introductory price for Building on a Budget, but it’s still available and Mike is still including all the free bonuses with the purchase.

To your success,
