Network Marketing Tools: How to Make an Optin Page with a Free Blogger Blog
Posted by Andrea in Network Marketing Tools, Uncategorized on June 23rd, 2009
Recently I met Paul, a Usana Rep on Twitter.
We got to talking about optin pages and why it’s smart to capture names before sending them on to the company. It’s smart for a couple of reasons -
- it gives you an opportunity to brand yourself rather than the company
- you have the opportunity to sell them other things they might want in the years to come
- they get to know and trust you which can often lead to referrals later
Anyone who knows me just a little knows this is something I think is uber critical to building a real business online vs. just being a distributor or affiliate for a company.
ALL of these things are lost when you send your traffic straight to an affiliate or company link directly.
He asked whether blogger blogs could be used to create optin pages and I was pretty sure they could, so went hunting for a solution for him.
Found a great one!
This video shows you how to combine a blogger.com blogs with Getresponse to make as many optin pages as you want. Pretty handy, eh??
You’ll want to go grab a free trial of Getresponse if you don’t already have an account with them and follow along with the video to create your optin pages.
Here’s the code that he puts into the template editor to make the navigation bar hidden:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#navbar-iframe {
height: 0px;
visibility: hidden;
display: none;}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just watched it again and it’s an excellent tutorial – but thinking there may be a few technical terms and such in there that could hang you up (can’t have that!) … so be sure and ask questions here below in the comments area if you want help with it, k?
Happy to walk you through any part of it – and this thread will help others who come along and need help later. For sure a great way to get started if you’re on a budget
Appreciate you!
Make it a great day,
Andrea
PS. If you’d rather bypass all this coding stuff (see I know how, but often it’s just easier not to be bothered – call me lazy), you might want to use the pre-designed pages that come with the Network Marketing Tools I use.
To Auto-DM or Not Auto DM – That is the question …. well here’s how anyway ;-)
Posted by Andrea in Uncategorized on June 7th, 2009
There’s a lot of controversy over whether or not auto DM’s – direct messages that get delivered to your twitter followers when they follow you – are a cool thing or not.
I think we’ll evolve to a point where they can be – really all depends on your message. I haven’t got mine quite right yet, but then I’m evolving too. It’s a really good opportunity to connect with the people you’re attractive to. And that can only be a good thing, yeah?
What I’ve been doing (and I don’t care if it’s their DM or them responding in person) is going to my DM’s a couple times a day and scanning through them for interesting ones – which I reply in person to – then if I really want to get their attention (’cause I think they’re cool), I @ or RT a recent tweet of theirs.
Nothing beats honest appreciation – “appreciation beats self-promotion every time” – good stuff!
So we had a question on our MLM Mastermind community this morning about how to set up the auto DM’s on Tweetlater. And since I’m suddenly finding it easier to do short videos to do “how to’s” I did this one to walk you through that process.
How to Set-up Auto DM on Tweetlater.com
Hope this clears things up for you!
Make it a great day,

Want MLM Network Marketing Leads? – Learn Pay Per Click
Posted by Andrea in #1 Recommended Resources, Internet Network Marketing, Network Marketing Advertising, Network Marketing Leads, Network Marketing Tools, Uncategorized on February 21st, 2009
In the world of Internet network marketing, there’s a new product launched every week (maybe even every day). I know you know about it because you get the e-mails. I’m not saying that all or even any of these products are bad.
Most are probably great in their own right. But, here’s one thing that really bothers me about ALL these products.
So, the goal of the product is to teach “US” how to make money, right? How to get our own mlm network marketing leads. Yet, they sell the products based on how much that “GURU” is earning?
Again, I’m not saying that the guru doesn’t make that much money, I’m sure he/she does. However, how does that help “me?”
Just because someone is good at making money does NOT mean they’re good at TEACHING us how to do it. I’m always shocked at how none of them talk about what their “students” make.
Crappy Testimonials…
To top it off, a lot of testimonials are general and just say “Oh yea, this course is great…” and most of time the testimonials are just from their “buddies” – I think
these hardly carry any value!
How about sharing the “exact” amount that the students are now making 100% thanks to the course that they’re trying to sell us?
Anyways, that was my rant. The reason I thought about it was because, yes, there is yet another course being “re” launched soon. Trust me, if you haven’t heard about it you will.
But I can honestly say, it’s refreshing to see that THIS one is different.
I am REALLY impressed with what I’m seeing so far. They’re ACTUALLY proving to us that this course works!
The course is called
and it’s being released by Anik Singal and Amit Mehta (Amit is the author). They released this course back in October of 2008 and it was a blockbuster.
Rumor has it that they had over 7,000 students come into the system and I’ve never (even once) seen a bad review ANYWHERE (even on Warrior forum) about the course.
Well, it turns out that this course actually works! And it definitely works for generating mlm network marketing leads.
Just in the last 3 months…
- Students have quit their
day jobs… - A student actually saved
himself from getting EVICTED - Students went from making
$30 a day to $3,000 a DAY…
All in all, they’re saying that their students now earn, $4,234,789/Year. Very impressive.
I know Anik and Amit well enough to know that they would not lie. Also, they have student pictures, names right on their site.
FINALLY, actual proof.
Well, now they’re getting ready to re-open the classroom on February 24th.
But, they keep saying there is a BIG surprise coming out on the 23rd (not sure what that is).
Anyway, I just finished reading an excellent report they have released for free, definitely worth reading
– it really proves that they know what they’re doing.
I know I got a few gems from it. Even more super targeted mlm network marketing leads here I come
Myspace and Facebook and Twitter oh my …

(or how to keep up with the Jones-es and still K.I.S.S.)
Feeling overwhelmed by all the different social media platforms?
Wondering how in the heck you’re going to be able to build your brand and have a life apart from your keyboard too?
Just like all ‘problems’ – it’s never too long before some smart marketer comes up with a solution
I’ve just ordered this book and am thinking that you may want to also – not to be a lemming following blindly, but because leaders stay in tune with “the trends” at least enough to understand what all the distraction is about.
Enter: Social Media Marketing in an Hour a Day
Will social media be working for you and your business – or you become another of the many casualties?
Here’s what one reader had to say:
I was very satisfied with the nuts and bolts details in this book.The action steps led to measurable results for me and I could see them just as described in the promo for the book. It was everything I expected and had bonus resources and historical background as well. This book is a must for any web professional or if you just want to learn about social networking.
I personally love LOVE having solid, actionable tools to be able to recommend people to. This is one for the short list to be sure.
You can read more reviews here –> Social Media Marketing in an Hour a Day
You don’t have to be swallowed alive – you actually DO have “time for this stuff”
Make it a great day,

Leads for Network Marketing – Stop the Madness!
Posted by Andrea in Network Marketing Leads, Network Marketing Tools, Uncategorized on February 17th, 2009
Leads for network marketing – everyone wants good ones, right?
And I think just about everyone who’s wanted leads for network marketing in life has paid for some pretty crummy ones – don’t feel bad, there’s a learning curve to getting good mlm leads that is as much an art as it is science.
See the biggest problem is this – you’re not the one gathering the leads. And you’re paying WAY too much.
These people IF they even opted in to a well targeted ad, have exactly zero relationship with you. They don’t know you, they don’t like you (yet) and they have not one single reason to believe and trust you.
Madness I tell you. You’re just plum cuckoo if you think that’s gonna work for ‘ya – let alone be duplicable.
The absolute very best gonna-get-your-downline-built kinda leads are ones that have opted in to you and the value that you’re offering them.
You are offering them value – aren’t you?
Generating your own leads is not only cheaper, it’s more effective. You’ll get a far higher conversion (like astronomically higher) on leads for network marketing that are already presold on you and the marketing system you have to offer them.
No marketing system? No problem. Use Magnetic Sponsoring and your advertising and network marketing leads generation will soon be on autopilot – people will be paying you upfront to become your prospect.
You will make money on leads for network marketing – whether they “join” you or not.
Imagine having a group of business partners who are able to not only generate their own leads for building, but also always have plenty of advertising cash flow for expanding their business.
Sound like something you might want?
Working for me
Make it a great day,
Andrea
MLM Education – How much are you spending?
Posted by Andrea in Uncategorized on February 15th, 2009
It’s always interesting to me how people will hesitate to buy something for their MLM education that will help them become more valuable to their own business.
I’m reading through Magnetic Sponsoring again today and this is one of the points I completely agree with that Mike really underscores …
How important do you suppose it is to continue learning and adding to your personal skills, not just for your own sake, but so that you become attractive to your target market? So you can add real and tangible value to the people you seek to serve?
How YOU Can Become a Welcome Resource
Thing is, you probably already know first hand just how overwhelming it can feel to dive into a new area of learning and sort the wheat from the chaff – the excellent information from the total … I’ll just say it … crap.
Information overload is the buzz word of our times for good reason. It can be totally confusing knowing who to listen to – knowing who to trust to steer you in a good direction.
And that’s where your opportunity totally lies – YOU can become that beacon of calm and certainty – a resource that people turn to because you have real value to offer. And to become the leader that you are intended to be, this is a non-negotiable piece of the puzzle. You have to become valuable to others.
To attract the people you want to attract to you to build the business — really the network — that you want to be a part of (read – have at your beck and call), you simply cannot skimp on your personal learning. And paying for information to be presented to you in a well researched and easy to use format trumps having to hunt and peck and figure it all out on your own every single time.
I have no doubt that there’s *something* that you know so intimately already that you don’t even realize would be valuable to others – just a matter of packaging it and BOOM – you’re attracting the right people to you.
Self Funded Advertising is the Name of the Game
I think the other thing that I especially appreciate about funded proposals like Mike Dillard’s and Ann Seig’s is that once they own rights to the program, even the newest distributor has an immediate solution to the problem of weeding out time wasters from their day. It also offers an instant way to cashflow their new business.
Huge.
Let’s face it, most people don’t have hours to spend grooming someone only to have them never kick out a dime. And it’s always better to have a venture pay for itself out of the gate.
Funded proposals eliminate this problem upfront – they have to raise their hand *some* before you go spending gobs of time on someone who’s just tire kicking – not really ready to invest in themselves and their business. Also gives you both a foundation of solid information to get to “know one another better” around.
So how much are you spending on your business building education?
I’m gonna take a wild guess – not near enough.
Highly highly recommend Magnetic Sponsoring as the place to point people first … though I have no doubt that those who are destined to be leaders will eventually own both Mike and Ann’s systems … ’cause that just how leaders are.
Stay current and tuned in to the best tools to offer your team so that they may also continue learning and become valuable in their own right.
Fun stuff!
