This is Tip 2 in the article series asking what are The MLM Basics For Marketing Online’. In order to market online, the first thing you need is a system. You could manage without a system, but having one will save you lots of time, energy and money. The next MLM Basics For Marketing Online Tip is also a biggy! Once you have a system in place, you need to get some training! This is the biggest problem in Network Marketing. Although it is called ‘marketing’, no-one give you any marketing training. And when you bring your business online, it is all about the marketing
So where do you go for training? Well if you took tip number 1, getting a system, you would now have access to training. Without the system, you could maybe try to find a mentor online who would be willing to give up his time to coach you. Otherwise you would have to learn from your mistakes, just like a huge number of people do online. Sadly if you have been doing MLM offline you will probably go out and put out spam all over the internet as you have been taught. This is the way the amateur networkers work. It leads to people removing you from their lists of friends, because they are fed up of being sold to.
Getting some form of training online is extremely important. Think how long it would take to be trained in a new job; its the same with internet marketing. You are very unlikely to know exactly what to do on your first day online. Everything you have been taught about the ‘old school’ methods of Network Marketing does NOT work online! Attraction Marketing is used online to find prospects. Using cold calling, and bellowing about your business to someone you have just met are frowned upon. Everything you learned about offline is pretty much back to front on the internet.
I have tons of training available to me in the back office of my system, Lead System Pro. One particular training attracts people everyday to sign up for it. It is about how to market your business on Facebook. Because marketing on Facebook is so popular, and so many people are joining Facebook everyday, anyone with a business wants to find out how to market there. Our training about writing articles is also very popular.
You will need to be trained in Attraction marketing, as well as some of the different paid methods you can use. When you understand how to market, you will be able to attract leads into your business. First of all you should just train in one or two methods of lead generation. When you are getting 10-20 leads a day from your efforts, you can continue to do that method, but also get some training on another method and stick at that until you have mastered that one too.
Within a few months you could have a steady stream of leads coming into your business. But all this takes time. Do not give up after a month or two, because it does take time to understand marketing online completely. You may feel that you are doing everything you have been taught, but you are not getting the results you hoped for. You could be missing one little thing. Just go over the training again, and see if you can pick up something you may have missed the first time. Don’t give up too easily!
