I was talking to my business partner, Dotti Berry, and she was telling me about a call that she had with John Busswood, who is in direct line to the master distributor with Lyf Brands.

He says:

We truly have a tiger by the tail and you are at the very beginning of an iconic company and an iconic brand – LYF! Michael Han gave some hints about a product that:

* Has immediate effects
* Is immediately understood
* You can demonstrate in 3 seconds
* Every man, woman, and child needs
* Is universal and global

The good news?

* LYF owns the Worldwide rights to this product!

Michael privately told the LYF Founders Circle that there will only be one of two questions about this product:

* How do I buy it now?
* How do I sign up with LYF?

The May 3rd call ended with a short, great story by Master LYF Coach Michael Kelly.

Cut down a tree with a knife and it will take you 30 days.
Cut down a tree with an ax and it will take your 3 hours.
Cut down a tree with a chain saw and it will take you 3 minutes.

Having the right tool and knowing how to use the tool is your key to success!

LYF is the business tool …Leveraging is the “how” of using LYF to allow us to achieve our goals in record setting time. We will experience a paradigm shift in network marketing with LYF!

LYF literally takes the network marketing industry to an entirely new level.

Do yourself a favor and just listen to a few of the calls, you will shortly start to see the difference. I am not even asking you to sign up, just listen to the calls.

Have you ever see a network marketing company with a pension plan? Lyf has one.

Have you ever seen a compensation plan that you can actually understand the first time you read it?

The founder Michael Han says we are not on separate teams, we are all on one team! I like that!!!

To receive a series of online training tips, just put your name and email in the form at the top of this post.  Hundreds of Internet entrepreneurs  have achieved success in their online business using these tips in the last year, now it is your turn. Online Success For You

Do you ask for help when you do not have the time to finish all of your tasks of online marketing?  If so, who do your ask that you can trust?   To help you answer that, we are first going to learn about the problem, then we will answer the questions.

So, you have been marketing online for over a year and you are now so busy following up on leads that you are running out of time to do your marketing.  Well,  you cannot stop doing what is working, you cannot ignore what got you where you are.  So, now what are you going to do?

You started this business so that you could have extra time with your family.  But, now all of your time is spent trying to keep up.  The good thing about having all of those leads coming in, you should be making money!  So, now you have a decision to make, is it time to start out-sourcing?

Outsourcing often refers to the process of subcontracting to a third-party. While outsourcing may be viewed as a component to the growing division of labor encompassing all societies, the term did not enter the English-speaking lexicon until the 1980s.  It has been perceived in negative terms when seen as international outsourcing of jobs.  But, what we are talking about here is a way of streamlining all of the tasks that an independent entrepreneur has to preform to succeed in their business.

Let’s take a look at a few of them:

http://www.elance.com/

Elance is a great way to get your work done.  You will find quality experts and you only have to pay for results.  Elance is an easy, cost-effective way to help you become more productive.

http://www.guru.com/

There are over 1 million members at Guru.com.  It is actually the largest online source for freelance assistance and they focus on quality freelance services.  They are proud to be noted as experts with a proven track record.  They work very hard at talent-to-project matching and business performance improvement.

http://freelanceswitch.com/

FreelanceSwitch is a community of expert freelancers from around the world.  If you have a job that you want done, just post that job on the free job ad board.  They have professional designers, bloggers, photographers, illustrators, as well as, many other freelancers.  Just post a job and you will be contacted.

This is and update to the original post:

http://www.odesk.com

Once I submitted this post, it was brought to my attention that there is another valuable resource for outsourcing.  Odesk.com lets you select professionals based on work history, portfolio, feedback ratings, and test scores.  You pay only for time verifiably spent working for you!  They have a unique Work Diary where you can see that the time billed is time worked and of course you only pay for time verifiably spent working for you. It’s also secure, accurate and safe.

So, if you are at the stage in your business that you are feeling the need to relieve some of the stress of over work, I am sure that you will be able to find some help from these service providers.  The cost of using them at first, maybe a little painful, but the benefits of higher productivity and lower stress will certainly out weigh that pain!

Keep your eyes open for the next post on this subject, where we are taking outsourcing to the next level.

Let me know if you are using any of these sources and how you would rate them by leaving a comment below.

Here’s to your success,

If you want to work with me, learn how to generate leads, and become successful in your online business I can be reached at 314-882-7622.  The training that I provide is extensive and unparalleled in the online marketing industry.  Hundreds of Internet entrepreneurs  have achieved success in their online business with this training in the last year, now it is your turn. Online Success For You

Search Engine Optimization is one of the most important aspects of online marketing.  In an earlier post I talked about branding yourself online using a blog.  Well, if no one ever sees that blog then it is really not very helpful.  In addition to your blog, you need to have a webpage or capture page where you can send people to that contain the product or service that you are marketing.  Just as you want people to find your blog you also want people to find your marketing website.

There are two ways to help people find your website through Google. … One is Pay Per Click search or the paid advertising that is on the right side of the Google search page results, and the other is the organic search results which are what are on the left side of the page.

It is on the left side where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) comes into play.  Rather than pay to get your site on the first page of Google, you need to optimize your website so that Google sees it as relevant.  This relevancy will put you on the first page for your key words if … the sun is shining, all of the planets are exactly aligned and you are projecting pure thoughts.  But seriously, it does seem that you have about that much control of it!  You may even feel powerless, but you are not, you just need to learn what makes Google find you and “see” you as valuable and relevant.

There are some things that you can do to your site that are extremely important to do, and I will list those here, but something that you need to know is that this only accounts for around 25% of what Google is looking at in terms of your site.

This is what Google is looking at:

1. The Page Title – It should focus on your keywords
2. Your URL – It should also focus on your keywords
3. Headings – You should have several
4. Text – To look for content and how the text is formatted, such as the emphasis put on bold type words etc.
5. Description – It should be relevant to the page

The other 75% of the decision is made from the off page, or links to your website/blog.  This is harder to control but obviously very important to figure out.  First Google looks at you site to evaluate how important or relevant your site is and gives it a score.  This score if from 0-10.  Something that is interesting about this scales is that it is exponential, that is to say, that it is more difficult to go from 6 up to 7 than it is to go from 3 up to 4.  So, the higher you go the harder it is to move up.  For Google to decide to move you up or not, they are looking for what other people think of your site.  If others are linking to it then they see it as a recommendation.  To get those links you need to promote your site through other sites.

There are many ways to do this, but you should probably start with the website directories.  Look around until you find ones that looks like they are in good shape and maintained.  Another way is to partner with other companies or sites that you do business with and have them link back to your site.

To have your site linked back to, it has to have good content and you have to be active.  So now we are back to the basics, you want to have content on your site that is interesting and/or helpful, this will cause people to link back to your site.  To be active you need to be on social sites, reading and posting in other blogs, answering questions in forums or even in wikis.  You could even send out press releases about an event or new product that you have.

Finally just a few other pointers, each key word needs its own page, do not put all of your key words in one post and then send all your traffic there.  Your posts should be specific to the key word.  It is not the length of the post that matters on your blog but the number of pages.  If you want to use flash on your website, some is OK.  However, do not use it a lot, Google can not read the flash so it does not add to the site in terms of Google ranking.  Lastly, where you host your site does not matter, it is all about the URL.  There is a lot to learn and it is best to find a good resource and study it well.  Now go get optimized!!!

I hope that you found this helpful, leave me a comment and let me know.

Branding yourself online is one of the best ways to succeed in online sales.  We only need to look at the branding done by all of the product and service companies that we buy from today to see how important this is.  These companies have spent millions of dollars on finding the best way to brand their product so that people will relate to it, will want it, and will buy it.

The branding done by multi million dollar companies… is not any different than what you need to do for yourself online.  To start this branding you need to have a vision.  What is it that you will be offering, what will set you apart?  With this vision then you can lay out your branding and marketing plan.

There are some must have tools to ensure successful branding:

1. A personal blog  It should read, YourName.com
2. Social networking sites. Such as: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Direct Matches
3. Article marketing
4. Ezine advertsing
5. PPC marketing
6. SEO for you site
7. Customizable websites and capture pages (not replicated sites)

Another key to all of this is to have each of these tools working together.  It is much like a spider web where each one is tied to another, which is tied to another, and they are all surrounding that entity called you.  It is through all of these strings that you will be seen online as someone that can be trusted and is worth looking into.  Once that starts, the ball will continue to roll as long as you are an active participant.

Online branding has become a catch phrase on the internet, but it should not be taken lightly.  This is how many people online have become successful.  One person that has done this very well is Mike Dillard.  He started working in the MLM industry like most of us, doing meetings, calling friends and family, etc.  Then he started online and learned what I am telling you.  He now has a data base of over 100,000 people that he markets to whenever he wants.

This is what you have to do, you have to get out there and let people know who you are.  If you do not have your own material to market there is plenty out here.  Find what makes you click, but first find something that works.

I hope this is helpful and you begin to see the power behind branding yourself online.

Be positive – you are what you think, and you do have a choice!

If you want to see how the top earners are branding themselves and are creating success,

click the banner to find out.

For more assistance with your business online check out the other posts here.

There are four structural pillars to creating success in an MLM business.  Under each of these pillars are a variety of different methods to obtaining success.  These methods form the matrix of the actions that are necessary.  Each action is important and needs to be done consistently over a period of time.  These pillars are, lead generation, lead conversion, training, and retention.

The first pillar is… lead generation.  There are two main categories of lead generation, there is face to face, or off line lead generation, and online lead generation.

Face to face marketing starts with your warm market, this is your friends, family, co-workers.  For many people this just comes naturally and they are very successful.  Every day you should have a set number of contacts that you need to make in order to keep your pipeline of prospects full.  The need for outside networking is huge.

The second category of lead generation is online marketing which has some similarities to off line marketing.  The main difference however, is in the way that you find people to talk to.  You have to develop an online personality and brand yourself. This is a very important step and something that very few online marketers do.  This can help set you apart from the rest of the pack.  In order to do this branding you need a website, such as a blog, it would be great if you could use your name as the website name.  You want to attract people to you, to your site, this is the key to lead generation and online success in an MLM business.

OK, so now you have leads, now what?  What good are leads if you cannot convert them into paying customers or new signups for your business?  Once you are talking to them, whether you can convert them or not will depend on how you move forward.  (Be aware of the different buying personalities).  This is going to be the same whether you are using online or offline lead generation.  Your sales training and/or skills are going to play a key role.  The key is to engage people.  Once you are engaged it is time to get excited and move toward some type of close!!

There are many different closing techniques that you should know.  You can learn these from teachers like Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen, Roger Dawson, Sandlier Sales Institute, as well as others.  Not every sales situation is going to warrant the same closing technique, so you need to have several in your mind and be able to move into the one that will work best.  Do not fail to learn this, find a good source such as the trainers at www.nightingale.com, some of which I have listed above.

The last two pillars, training and retention, can be talked about together, because without one you cannot have the other.  The funny thing about the MLM industry is that although it is about sales, very few people that are involved have had any sales training.  So, how do you train someone to do something in a short amount of time that can take years to develop?

There are different schools of thought here.  Many MLM sales teams preach that you have to have a duplicatable system.  Many have been taught to have a system that everyone in their organization uses.   Well, not everyone learns the same and not everyone is good at the same thing.  The solution to the problem is to have several techniques and good training on them, then you can personalize the sales method based on each person’s set of skills.  But, you have to have a system in place to do this training.  If your company does not have one then you can look online for one of the MLM lead generation training suites.

When it comes to retention, suffice it to say that if you do not have good sales training you will not have retention.  The reason why you would have retention is because people are successful.  Without personal success in whatever MLM you are in, your recruits will not hang around long.

In summary when you are building your team there is a lot of things to consider.   The first is how are you going to get your leads?  When you have a lead, it is important to make sure that they are qualified.  The next thing is converting that lead to an associate and following through with the training.  This training structure should allow for them to choose what bests suits their style.  And finally, retention is achieved by having the other three pillars firmly in place.  That is how you will achieve success in an MLM business.

I wish you great success and blessings on your day,

Kathy Sammons

Hello, I wanted to talk about my journey in the MLM industry and where I am today.

I started in this industry in… 2005.  I believed in this industry as a way to a better life, a better life that was not going to be realized by working an 8-5 job.  I also realized that I was just trading my time for money and saw that there was a better way.

When I started, I was trained to market using sales techniques that are traditional for this industry.  I talked to my warm market, invited them to meetings and prayed they would show up.  I talked to my friends and family about what a great opportunity this was, and how it was going to change their lives.

I was lucky enough to work with some really great companies along the way.  One was a wellness company that has a product that has really help a lot of people with health problems.  I could not image why everyone would not want to take this product.  I could tell them stories of how it was bringing people back from the brink of death, but they still did not see the value.  I could not understand why, but there I was struggling along trying to get people to join me in my mission, but they would not follow.

Another great company that I am doing business with showed me how to pay my mortgage off in 1/2 the time.  Boy, if I could just show people how to pay off their debt, there would be no reason for them to not join me in this business.  This business was revolutionary, because they utilized advanced software to help my customers get out of debt and save thousands of dollars in interest.  But again, they could not see the light.

So, there I was with 2 great companies.  But I was still not making as much headway in my marketing efforts as I had planned on.  This just was not making sense to me.

I decided to try online marketing to promote my businesses, that is were I was exposed to MLM Lead System Pro.  If you have not heard of this or you have not heard of Mike Dillard then let me explain some very important marketing tips that I have learned.  I had been a student of Mike Dillard for sometime learning about attraction marketing, however, I was still working in the traditional manner not realizing what I was missing online.  I had not connected the dots that would help me do what I am doing today.

The marketing tips that I learned focused on attraction marketing.  But the biggest realization was that I was not talking to the right people.  The people that I needed to be talking to were the people that were already in direct sales.  These people did not need to be convinced of the value of this industry, they were already in it.  They were actively seeking a better way to support themselves, so all I had to do was to provide them with what they needed to succeed.  Wow, that was a BIG aha moment.

Well, that is where I am today, showing people how to succeed in this business where they once only found failure.  It has been quite a journey but as most stories go, it is all well worth the travel.

Happy Trails,

Kathy Sammons
