Marketing on Facebook for FREE!

Want to obtain faster MLM success with your internet home based business?  Did you know you can get free marketing on Facebook?  It’s true!  Besides that, it’s very easy, only requires a few small steps and is HIGHLY visible.  What’s also great is you’re able to customize your advertising to say and promote anything you want to (keeping within Facebook overall guidelines, of course).  And did I mention it’s all free?

As one of the top 5 visited websites of the world, entrepreneurs obviously know the power of promoting their product and services on Facebook.  Having a lot of friends (that have a lot of friends, that have a lot of friends…  You get the picture) that you can promote your business too is like money in the bank.  However, those advertisements you see on the sides of Facebook’s pages aren’t free.  Facebook, just like Google, know there’s real money to be made from these little advertisements and people will pay good money to buy their time.  Unfotunately, as one friend of mine learned, having a little advertising link doesn’t always guarantee your link will be clicked and your product or service viewed.  In fact, for 2 weeks of paid advertising, the poor girl only ended up with 80 total clicks and swore she’d never use Facebook again.

Well, here’s a solution I suggested to her that doesn’t cost a penny and stays on Facebook for as long as you want it to.  It’s an application you can utilize within Facebook called “Custom Profile Box“.   I incorporated my box into Facebook about a week ago and its already generated leads for my home mlm business.  I designed the box on Facebook to incorporate  3 information capture boxes (name, email and phone number) and when someone puts in their information, voila(!), I have a new lead for my mlm business list that will always be there for me.

So here’s what you do:  Obviously, you need to create a new Facebook account for yourself (www.facebook.com).  Once inside Facebook, go to the white, rectangular search bar, upper right hand corner of all the Facebook pages.  Type in, “Custom Profile Box” into the search bar and hit return.   At this point, you’ll be taken to an application called, appropriately enough, “Custom Profile Box”.  Basically, Custom Profile Box is an editor that generates html for you.  What’s nice, as the name implies, is you can fully customize your box using whatever colors, text or size you’d like.  You can insert images, strikethrough, and color backgrounds.  Finally, once you’ve created your new box, you can go back and re-customize it again, and again.

Now, here’s the key!  A lot of people have tried incorporating this application without success.  What these poor folks do not understand, is there are just a few more minor steps that need to be taken care of in another area of Facebook.  So,  here are the steps, in order, to make sure you are successful:

1. Add the app and click “Apply” button on the confirmation window.
2. Edit the app settings for the app by hovering your mouse over the “Settings” menu and then selecting “Application Settings”.
3. On the list of apps, a drop down “Show” menu, select “Authorized” to show all the apps authorized to access your profile data.
4. Click on “Edit Settings” link next to the name of the app.
5. In the pop-up window, make sure the “Profile” tab is highlighted.
6. Next to the “Box” item is the word “Add”. Click on this to add a box to your profile for this app.
7.Decide and modify the Privacy depending on whether you want your friends and network only to see the box, or everybody etc.
8. You are done setting up the app.
9. Click on the “Applications” status bar menu and select the app from the pop up window.
10. An editor will load, and takes 30 secs or so on busy connection.
11. In the editor window type the text, place pictures and change font sizes, text colours etc as you need it. Try a simple text heading in bold and a few lines of text underneath for starters.
12. To save your creation to the app box, click on the “Update” button.
13. If all is well your box should appear in the boxes section of your profile.
14. Click on your profile, and select the boxes tab.
15. See your app box and your creation in it.
16. You can drag your box to any desired location on the page by left clicking the box and dragging around.

That’s it, a short simple setup course for you.
Hope it helps you all.
If you’d like to see my box, look me up on Facebook (Tom Gurnee) and friends me.  Be sure to look at my custom box under my “Boxes” tab and it will be the first thing you see on that page!  As always, you can find my mlm business at http://www.aworkingmlm.com.  Good luck!

How to Achieve MLM Success? Make Money Along the Way!

Achieving MLM success can be a bit daunting at first, especially if you don’t have the budget for starting up.  Here’s one way, to help generate cash to help supplement your growth and keep you in the game.

For one that is relatively new to the game of Attraction Marketing and Affiliate Marketing, the learning curve direction can be bent quite heavily towards the north at first.  Fortunately though, every day brings new information and new possibilities and it’s things like this that I find to be a lot of fun and hopefully you will too!

Obviously, you’ve seen all those advertisements on the sides of the webpages, on Yahoo, on Facebook, yes everywhere.  But for those of you who aren’t quite as internet savvy as you’d like to be, or if this subject is simply new to you,  did you know that all those advertisements you see were probably not placed there by the company themselves?  In fact, it’s highly unlikely the sponsoring advertisement company even knows they’re on someone’s website at all.  Welcome to the huge (and highly profitable) world of known as Affiliate Marketing.

Affiliate Marketing is all about advertising and your making a little money along the way for giving a company the opportunity to promote its product or service on your website.  I’ll get more into the specifics of Affiliate Marketing later, but for now, suffice it to say that to make your initial MLM successful, you’re going to need the assistance of a few companies out there and if you end up paying for a service they render, they, in kind, will render something back to you for referring someone to their company.  Hence, you make some extra money along the way.

Here are a few examples:

Host Gator:

GoDaddy:
GoDaddy.com Hosting & Servers 468x60

Attraction Marketing System

I’ll go into the specifics of why I like and use these companies later, but for now, understand that when you or someone clicks on these links/ads below and you then in turn order their product or service, these companies will send a little check in the mail to say thank you (to me) for referring your business to them.

Do you see, how powerful and lucrative Affiliate Marketing can potentially be for you?  And you really don’t need to know very much; it’s all quite easy to learn.

What’s important to know, is that Affiliate Marketing plays a useful role in your MLM business. Everything you need is laid out for you, in order and from top to bottom.  Yes, those who have sponsored you will make commissions on what you may end up using to help you in your business.  Conversely, you’ll make commissions on those souls you sign up!

Therefore, as you’ll learn more, Affiliate Marketing is a small, but powerful way to make money while helping you along the road to generating daily leads.

Getting Ranked on Google

To help increase my MLM success with my network marketing and internet home based business, I’m always looking for ways to increase leads and exposure by making sure I’m doing everything I can to get ranked high on Google.  Here’s what I recently found out!

A few days ago I was introduced to a gentleman named David Wood.  David Wood is an expert at generating hoards of internet traffic to virtually any website.  I learned that he put together a strategy of MLM success secrets on how he accomplishes this and I’m excited to have recently learned what some of these strategies are.

In one of his blogs, David talks about reading yet another blog entry that claimed to teach all of the hidden secrets of marketing online.  Problem was, as he explained, it was just another jacked up advertisement for someone’s ebook that did its best to psych you out on positive reinforcement and “you can do it” mantras.  “What people need is real MEAT when it comes to marketing online,” David professes.  And it’s true.  People need REAL principals and real foundational concepts.  Not just wordy ebook pep rallys that we’ve all come across…

One of the first MLM success principals David talks about in driving people to your website is that it is absolutely necessary to have original and valuable content and offer it free of charge.  When your visitor sees information that is relevant and information he can immediately use and put into action, he’s highly likely to return.  And not just once, but again and again.  However, if your website looks like yet another blase canned, template driven site, chances are you’ll lose them in just a few short seconds and they’ll forget you ever existed.

Another MLM success principal about driven traffic is in relation to Google.  Google is king and what everyone knows is the higher you rank on Google, the more business you’re going to generate.  What people don’t understand though, is, it’s not the compelling information on your site that generates the number one ranking, it’s how many other sites out there that are linked to it that counts and how important they in their own rights.  For example, if Yahoo and MSN and other major sites out there are linking to your article, your going to scream to the top of their search engines.  Also, if your article includes social bookmarking and video, those sites, too, will drive your rankings to the top.

One last secret to share is that you want your marketing online to focus around one particular, central theme.  You want to work to rank one page of your site around a few central keyword phrases and then, as David proclaims, “Create niche pages within your website that you promote.”  “Ie, my current main domain ranks in Google for over 100 niche phrases within the first five results, but those rankings don’t all come from my front page.  It’s the articles in my article directory that I promote individually for EACH niche.”

Simply put, the more niche traffic you generate over your competitors, the higher your rankings will be.  Create more on topic content than the others and promote it properly.  If you keep these principals in mind and understand that it’s basic principals that drive traffic to your site, you’ll zoom to the front in no time flat.  Best of luck and we’ll see you at the top!
