Now, if you want to build online, here’s what you need to know…
- You can generate fresh, qualified leads from wherever (and whenever) you please
- You can end rejection forever by only talking to people who are highly interested in your offer
- You don’t need to drive long hours, your startup costs are low, and your business works for you 24/7—without you ever having to pick up the phone!
And if you’re like me and you already started the transition to growing your Network Marketing Business online you’re now faced with new and unexpected challenges…- Have you ever been told to start building your business using social media but you’re not exactly sure what that means or what you should post or do?
- Have you ever just copied and pasted your links about your product or opportunity and the only person to like your post is either your sponsor or other team members?
- Have all your efforts led you down the road to what I like to call “Social Media Burnout” where you just avoid social media entirely?
- Have you ever been told by other leaders to just start messaging, friending, and following complete strangers online to hopefully build a relationship that you can then turn into a conversation about your business???
The worst was my business started to go backwards.
Now, I know people have different attitudes as far as personal development and mindset goes.
But my advice is pretty practical.
First, you must get comfortable with the unknown.
Basically, you need to be present and respect the journey.
Know that you’re not going to learn everything you need all at once, in one fell swoop.
When you go online, you’re learning a whole new skillset.
Almost a new profession.
Think of it…
When you learn a new profession, what do you usually do?
Well, you go to school for four years.
We’re not going to have you do that, and it probably shouldn’t take four years, anyway.
However, if there was a school of building a businesses online, it probably would take a few months to get through all the coursework, so be prepared for a learning curve.
My education began here with the 10-Day Attraction Marketing Bootcamp and I encourage you start here as well.
Don’t try to learn everything at once.
Just focus on what’s in front of you.
Master that, implement it, and then move on.
You have to get comfortable with not knowing what’s ahead.
There’s always going to be a new technology that you don’t know about, and new skills that you have to acquire.
Keep that in mind and expect the unknown.
But the other issue is a biggie and comes up often:
It’s the ability to overcome adversity and not give up.
By going online…
Do certain parts of building your business become a easier?
Yes!
That’s the purpose of going online—to create more efficiency, so you’re not doing things that either waste time, or you simply don’t like doing.
- So no more driving around town to get from point A to point B.
- No more meeting people one-on-one.
- Or following up over and over after they’ve seen “the plan.”
However, you are still going to face adversity.
You’re still going to hit roadblocks and get stuck.
If you’re somebody that easily gives up when you encounter those types of things, then don’t even try.
You have to respect the new skills you’re learning
And be willing to face the tough times.
Respect means when you actually get stuck, you don’t easily give up.
You push through and become resourceful.
An important part of the equation is knowing where to go to find answers, or knowing who to ask to find answers (more on this later).
This is vital to your success.
The last thing is…
You’ve got to overcome peer-pressure
There are people that are not going to approve of you doing something that’s different from what they recommend within the company.
Maybe someone in your upline doesn’t want you to explore other methods.
That’s normal.
It’s normal for people who have not built their business this way tend to have a negative attitude.
Human beings fear the unknown, which is why the first thing I told you was: master the unknown.
It’s natural for people to fear what they don’t know
Not only is it natural to fear the unknown, it’s natural to attack it too.
Know that your upline—even if they have a massive downline—if they haven’t built a business online, then they’re talking about something they don’t truly understand.
Building a business online is completely different than building it offline.
It requires different methods and an entirely different skill set.
Building offline is something you can admire and appreciate—and I certainly do—and respect anyone that’s done it.
But if a leader hasn’t done anything online, and they’re talking ‘smack’ about it, then they have no credibility in my book.
Respect them, but don’t give in to their doubt and fear.
But in today’s day and age, more and more leaders in the network marketing space are starting to accept that you can actually build on social media and using Internet marketing, and the proof is in the pudding.
You see people everywhere who are successfully building online.
The proof is all around you.
You don’t need the approval of anyone else
Move forward no matter what others say to you.
Our community provides a lot of support as it relates to this, and we can offer you advice based on your personal situation.
I’ll tell you how to receive more information at the end of this article.
This sums up mindset:
- Master the unknown.
- Learn how to overcome adversity (and not be a weenie).
- Learn to overcome peer pressure.
Those three things will come up, but now you can be prepared.
The next thing you need is a…
You need an implementation blueprint.
Something you can reference along the way.
And there are primarily two different ways that you can build your business online.
First, there’s the…
Active social media recruiting
…which you can actually implement right away.
With social media recruiting, you honestly don’t have to learn much of anything.
All you need is a personal account on Facebook (no website required), and some sort of process—maybe provided by your upline or somebody in your company—on how to present your opportunity and convert prospects into either buyers or new reps.
You only need to know where to take them, and how to process them.
You can start implementing social media recruiting strategies today.
In fact, this strategy is basically equitable to what you’d do offline, except you’re transposing the process online.
The challenge with social media is you’re always busy…
- You’re always posting.
- You’re always engaging.
- You’re always interacting with people.
It produces results quickly (and it can produce massive results), and you can duplicate it quickly, but it’s time intensive.
Most of the time…
People will move beyond simple social media recruiting stuff, because they want to create more leverage in their business and to free up more of their time.
And that’s what we’ve been teaching here at Elite Marketing Pro, for the past ten years.
Speaking of which, if you’re ready to move forward now with building your business using “attraction marketing,” I’d like to invite you to sign up for my FREE 10-Day Online Recruiting Bootcamp, where you’ll gain the knowledge to create an automated selling and prospecting system to attract highly-interested prospects to your product or opportunity online.
The next level of social media is…
Passive social media recruiting
…which is about posting valuable content or information that inspires people to reach out to you and ask you what you’re doing.
In fact, a lot of our students are generating dozens of prospects reaching out to them, asking…
“What are you doing? I want to learn more!”
99% of the time I refer them here to where I began: 10-Day Attraction Marketing Bootcamp.
I prefer to start the conversation with somebody when they’re reaching out.
They are coming to you—instead of the other way around.
Then you’re able to create leverage and scale.
All the things you normally would do with social media you’re now able to scale and accelerate your results.
For this, you’re going to need a Facebook Business Page (aka a Fan Page) and a training and lead generation system like what we provide at Elite Marketing Pro.
The idea is for people to reach out to you by going to your website and submitting their information, which can happen 24/7 (while you’re sleeping or at the beach).
They’ll do this in exchange for valuable information you’re promised to give them.
They are then automatically sent all the information they need to get familiar with your business and we provide all the tools to allow you to do this in no time!
By the time you get on the phone, they’re 90% sold!
You only answer a few questions, and they’re ready to get started.
It’s all automatic.
That’s what a “funnel” does.
This is how you can passively have prospects come into your business, every single day.
In my business, I have between 10-to-20 prospects reaching out to me, requesting information daily.
There’s no way I could personally talk to every single one of them, so we had to create funnels or process to be able to present offers to people en masse on auto pilot.
This allows you to take people that are brand new and fresh, and walk them through a presentation, in an automated way.
That’s essentially what we’re talking about with passive recruiting strategies (which is also referred to as “attraction marketing”).
This process also allows me to filter and talk with those who are serious versus just those who maybe curious.
One way I can identify who is serious vs just curious are those who sign up for the 10-Day Attraction Marketing Bootcamp, complete it and then take additional action to join my Mastermind Facebook group or schedule a call with me so I can continue to help guide them through the process.
Now, for the final piece, which is…
It would be very difficult for you to do everything I just described without some personal one-on-one help.
Think about it, when you started in network marketing offline, somebody showed you the next steps to take.
The same is true with building your business online:
You need someone to show you a step-by-step blueprint.
Thus, when you become a customer or client of Elite Marketing Pro, you receive free, one-on-one coaching to ensure you get started right.
Now this is the piece of the puzzle that was HUGE for me. When I signed up for the 10-Day Bootcamp, I purchased the Attraction Marketing eBook around Day 5. The eBook was on sale at the time for $27. This small purchase unlocked my Ignition coaching sessions where I was able to be coached by experts, learn more about the Elite Marketing Pro community and services that they offered to help me transition my business online.
It’s been a game changer but I would be lying if I didn’t tell you I was very overwhelmed.
So I know it is overwhelming when you’re brand new.
So we take away the worry by having a mentor walk you through everything step-by-step (so you don’t waste time) and tell you if you’re doing things correctly or not.
This immediate feedback means…
You’ll never feel insecure about not being sure what to do next
Or not sure if what you did is correct.
And hey, I know how powerful this is from personal experience.
When I first got started, I spent over $50,000 (mostly on credit cards) trying to build my business without mentorship.
It was pretty costly, to say the least.
However, once I got the mentorship I needed, it put me on the fast track to achieving results.
And here I am today, sharing what’s working for me with you.
I sort of feel like Luke when Yoda tells him in Return of the Jedi to “pass on what you have learned.” Simply I found a better way of recruiting and selling that helps me to master the skills needed to build my business online and….
I believe you can do it too, but…
You have to make the commitment and start with the first step
So if you’ve always wanted to not only have the right information, but to have somebody personally help you, then I highly recommend you learn more about Elite Marketing Pro by signing up for my mentor’s, Ferny Ceballos’ FREE 10-Day Online Recruiting Bootcamp.
It’s a video course where Ferny will walk you through taking your business online.
Because while it is possible to build your network marketing business offline, the way I’m providing you is more efficient, allows you to create income quickly and you can run your business from your laptop.
And just like this information changed my life on how I grow my Network Marketing Business Online, it can change your life as well.
In fact, Ferny will share exactly how he passively generate 300–500 leads per day, 30–50 customers per day, and recruit 70–100 new serious business-builders into his business each month.
You’ll have the tools to build your business automatically—where prospects come to you on a daily basis—ready to sign up and get busy.
