You may be wondering: how in the world did those top MLM earners ever get to where they are right now?
Did they really recruit everyone in their circle of family, friends, co-workers, and the lady along the supermarket aisle?
How did they ever master the art of persuading people to buy those expensive MLM products?
Well, the answers are: NO, they did not go around recruiting people in their warm market. And NO, they did not persuade just anybody to buy.
So if you are doing those, then you’ve got it all wrong. Or rather, your sponsor taught you all wrong.
You see, the secret lies in the concept of attraction marketing.
The best prospects are those who come looking for you.
Let that sink in for a while.
If you can show up to the people who are already searching for what you are promoting, then you do not have to do much selling at all.
Add value by helping them, answer whatever questions they may have, and let them see your genuine concern. These are ready buyers who just need something to seal the deal.
Right now, you may be thinking: easier said than done. How exactly are you to do that?
Well, there are various ways to achieve this.
The key idea is to position yourself strategically.
So that you are in plain view of your prospects when they come looking for information, answers, or some support.
Another essential factor is being able to leverage on internet traffic.
Because it is where everybody is.
And it is also where you make the pitch one time to let it be seen many times over, globally.
You can’t afford to do face to face selling anymore, in this time and age. Unless the nature of the product requires it to be so.
The internet allows you to scale up your business massively.
Now, we will dive into some of the specific methods that the top MLM earners use to get there.
I will talk about one paid method and one free method.
Paid method
I have seen this work wonders, for those who have the financial means.
It is nothing new, and it’s called advertising.
Ok, before you throw rotten eggs at me, please hear me out.
It isn’t about those traditional billboards style of advertisements, with the product picture splashed all over the page.
The game changer here is to create advertisements that target the pain points of your prospects.
Deep within, what is the ‘why’ that may push them to look for your products or join the business opportunity?
Wanting to make a side income while staying at home for kids? Trying to find relief for some health issue?
Advanced technology and algorithms are showing relevant advertisements to a targeted group of audience. These people have expressed an interest in your products through how they navigate the world wide web.
Giants like Google and Facebook have already done half your work for you, and that’s what you are paying them for.
The other half of the work is left up to you to provide value to these prospects, by addressing their issues, instead of just trying to sell by shoving stuff into their faces.
When you offer a free workshop, or some free samples to try, for instance, you nurture the relationship, give yourself a chance to get to know your prospects, and them to know you.
This is a thousand times better than pushy sales tactics that makes one seem desperate and aggressive.
However, this paid method works better for those who are already experiencing some success with the MLM company. Or at least seeing some profits that can be invested back into the business.
Before reaching that level, I wouldn’t encourage you to spend any money on advertising. There is risk involved.
And that brings us to the next section – a free method you can use even when you are brand new in the MLM business.
Free method
What would you turn to if you wanted to find the fastest way to lose weight safely? Who do you ask to find the best reviewed scented candles that you would like to gift a friend?
Why, the search engines, of course.
Whether it’s Google, Yahoo, or Bing, millions of people turn to these engines for answers each day.
And that is where you want to position yourself.
Imagine the explosive amount of free traffic landing on your offers if you appear on page 1, or even page 2 of the search results.
These are all highly targeted traffic, because they are actively searching. It is also called organic traffic, and is the most highly sought-after.
You want to show up to these prospects, because they will give you the highest conversion rates.
The next question: how do you get there?
Well, you create a website, and create content on it to get it established in your niche. When it gains credibility and the trust of the search engines, it will rank on page 1 of search results.
I’m not talking about the replicate website provided by your MLM company, that will never rank, because those are duplicates, and search engines hate duplicates.
So you really need a personal website, one where you can create original, authentic, and helpful content to make this work.
It sounds simple, and it is. But simple does not translate into easy.
If it were that easy, everyone would be ranking on page 1, which cannot happen.
So you have been warned.
This will be hard work, but I can assure you it will be so worth it.
It is a path I have been through. The fact that you found my website is living proof that it works.
I am not promoting any MLM company, though. What I am doing is called affiliate marketing.
You see, being able to rank a website is a high income skill.
Once you acquire it, the world is your oyster, and the sky is the limit. No one can take it away from you.
You can start promoting anything you want, discovering so many different ways to monetize it.
In fact, you do not have to stick with any MLM company at all. But you definitely can, if that’s your choice.
How to rank a website
There is a whole bunch of information out there about SEO, which stands for search engine optimization. It can be confusing and even conflicting, when everyone tries to declare oneself as the guru.
Moreover, things can change quickly as search engines keep stepping up their ranking algorithms.
The key here is to follow the footsteps of people who are seeing success.
Go where the elite internet marketers and SEO experts are gathered, and learn the proven method that works.
Getting Started
Now, allow me to humbly show you the path I took to get here.
I found this training platform by chance, when I was researching about the MLM company that I was buying some health products from at that time.
I recognized the awesomeness of Wealthy Affiliate, and was hooked on devouring its training materials and putting what I learnt into practice.
And the rest is history.
Here’s a glimpse into my daily earnings:
That’s $350 in just a single day. It’s nothing to boast about, though, as it’s just a small fraction of its full potential. I just wanted to show you the possibilities.
I now own three websites, and am enjoying my days working full time from home as an affiliate marketer.
It does not matter if you are using this method to promote an MLM company instead of as an affiliate marketer.
Simply use the personal code provided by your company, or the URL link to your personalized replicate website in place of affiliate links. Whatever transactions that happen will still take place on the replicate site.
What really matters is getting your own website ranked first, so that you get to channel that traffic to the replicate company website.
Now, let me very briefly introduce the Wealthy Affiliate platform to you.
Besides being a top-notch training platform for people wanting to rank their websites in search engines, it gives you tools like these:
– Keyword research (you do not want to waste time creating content that nobody searches for, so you need to find out search volume, competition, etc.)
– Website builder (the technicalities that others spend days agonizing over in setting up their websites, you accomplish in a few clicks)
– Website hosting (no extra costs incurred with hosting companies as Wealthy Affiliate is a web hoster itself)
– Site speed and site security (search engines do not like slow and unsecured sites)
– and more…
With this all-in-one platform, everything you need to build an online business out of a website is here.
To bring it up another level, there is an entire community that engages very actively to help and support one another, while each person builds up their own online business.
If this isn’t enough, Wealthy Affiliate has a free starter membership that gets you the first 10 lessons, and 2 websites. Absolutely free. There are more details in the table further below.
To be clear, you can’t expect to start an online business at zero cost.
This free starter membership allows you to see for yourself what the entire platform is all about, and how high quality their training is.
There is no time limit to being a free starter member. Explore the platform, and upgrade to premium only when you’re ready to.
To gain access to the rest of the SEO training and EVERYTHING ELSE, the premium membership costs $19 for the first month, and $49 per month subsequently.
Do check out the massive discounts if you pay half-yearly or annually.
Here is the comparison table between the free starter membership of Wealthy Affiliate and its premium membership.
That’s it, free versus premium.
Nothing else. No hidden upsells.
Everything is transparent for you to make your own decision.
At the end of the day, I cannot promise you will become one of the top MLM earners.
What I can promise is this: If you work for it, it will work for you.
Hope to see you on the inside, where I will be your personal coach.
I wish you all the best, whether or not you choose to take this step.
