[resolved] Top 3 MLM issues, bugbears, problems

As a network marketing (MLM) professional I help people to get started in MLM. Getting started is one of the major problems - how to get your business off the ground.

Now despite my recruiting over 50 people in my first year using the upline suggested route (friends, family lists), the biggest source of leads, team members and income came from the internet in year 2. My internet activities were creating more income than my team members could and I knew that was wrong. I needed a way of sharing my system so that it could help them.

So I spent over £2000 and 4 months studying what I had been doing, the suppliers that I had been using (some at £80 per month and over £1000 a month). Then I came up with a system that would be duplicable - i.e. I could help others to do it and they could help their teams to use it.

Using the power of blogging, facebook, linked in, email, autoresponders, google plus and my custom code, I developed a system that could be implemented within 15 miuntes and used by someone who had very little experience of the web and marketing.

In doing so I resolved the top 3 isuues with MLM

1. Getting started (15 minutes)
2. knowing exactly what to say and do (immediate using our system)
3. how to generate leads and help people get started
4. staying started

Explaining my Facebook background image

Here's how I got to be in the room with and enjoying dinner with Brig and Lita Hart, Dallin Larson, Randy Schroeder and Dr Alex Schauss
Mark N Hopgood with Some of the Greatest Networkers ever. Brig Hart, Lita Hart, Dallin Larsen and Randy Schroeder in the background

Dave Ingham, Sue and I had been invited to an exclusive dinner by MonaVie corporate for our role in kick starting Europe by launching in UK. Dave, Sue and I after a trip to Orlando, USA in the previous year to one of Brig Harts amazing events, decided we were going to step up and create a buzz around network marketing and MonaVie in the UK.

We were rewarded with the VIP Luxury trip in what was an exclusive never to be repeated opportunity. Our hard work and diligence had paid off.

What a journey. Steve and Gina Merrit went on to host us in Orlando again and our business grew and flew from there. We continue to build our business, but now concentrate on helping others to achieve success and financial freedom. A great responsibility.

Hope < Belief < Understanding

Or should this blog post be called
Understanding > Belief > Hope ?

Anyway I wanted to share with you this quick message for those who are starting out in creating an additional income.

Where are you currently in your online business creation?

I now know that there are 3 stages to the mindset in a person who has undertaken an online or work from home business opportunity. They may be interested in more free time (not enough time with friends or family). They may be interested in more money (not enough month at the end of the money). Anyway these 3 stages in their mindset often reflect the state of their business.

Hope
In the first stages of starting a home based business or work from home opportuntiy, most people have hope. This means that they want their business to work and are wishing for a change in their lives. Many people never get beyond this stage. They hope their business will become successful.


Belief
This is a crucial stage in building a business. Unfortunately it requires commitment and many people never put enough time into following their dream to get here. In order to believe that it is possible to make a business work, they have to spend time with leaders. They have to have an open mindset because they are going to have to learn new skills and change habits. Hanging out with leaders and people who have already made it, is crucial because seeing others achieving success helps build belief.
At this stage they know that it is possible to succeed, but they have note yet got there.

Understanding
This is the point where the dream is starting to come true. A person has not only attended events or spent time counselling their mentors, but has also acted. They will begin to see a pattern appear. They fuel their business by growing it on a continual basis by following the steps required. This is a great position to be in, but it requires continued activity to guide the people in the belief and hope stages.

Mark N Hopgood, a Network Marketing Professional who helps others to achieve success by mentoring. He is at the Understanding phase of his business building.

"What I understand to be true is that my business is always growing. Each month, week, day I help others and find out what they want to achieve. I promote my business and opportunity each day and the rules of the cosmos bend in my favour. The universe provides!" Mark N Hopgood

Summary of my day

My Son was ill so I had to look after him.
But I managed to spend half an hour with a friend. I showed her how to use unused minutes on her mobile / home phone contract to build her business for 'free'.

I then spent 5 minutes showing a friend how to get other people to promote their business using facebook.

Then I went with my son and a friend for lunch. Apart from discussing Angry Birds and drinking lots of apple juice, I shared with my friend how my e-book publishing platform could help him grow his income.

This is all interwoven with looking after my son who is ill and off school.

Then I helped someone out with their fridge and posted a blog to my team.

Then I realised that I had generated £10,025 revenue for my business.

So what's better helping people, sharing your knowledge, having freedom and getting paid or getting paid to do a job?

Youdrive - for free? How one company changed it's policy on free cars

Youdrive - for free? How one company changed it's policy on free cars
I couldn't help see the #YouDrive adverts for Mercedes and of course it is a really aspirational brand. I remembered that the organisation behind Team Of Amazing People actually give away Mercs.

Originally only the top earners were given Mercs, but as recently as February last year we started giving away Mercedes to more and more people, making them more acessible.

Free use of M&S Youtube and Xfactor budget to power promote your business



I don't watch telly but I did attedn Steve's social media master class.
I occasionally tune in to youtube so I was intrigued to see that youtube had this on.


I knew that something was happening at 8:15pm I knew that #Greatesthits was going to be the hashtag.
But I needed to go further - who's the top presenter on x factor. Did some googling and found it was Gary Barlow.

So a search in twitter gave me his twitter address....
@GBarlowOfficial

the ad was set up by @marksandspencer

So the power post on twitter was

#GreatestHits #xfactor @GBarlowOfficial congratulations on setting up this up, or was it twiggy? http://invite4you.com/newyou

Which got our web address sent to Gary barlow, his fans, marks and spencer and their fans, anyone who used the xfactor and greatesthists hashtag.

Here's to all our successes.

[place holder] - how to get high quality candidates, not just crummy leads

LEADS LEADS LEADS LEADS

Perhaps the most important thing you need for your business to succeed.
HOWEVER......


Leads can also bog you down. Too many low quality leads that have cost you not only in terms of money but your precious time can erode your mojo.

So, what's better?

TARGETTED REAL TIME LEADS - or rather people who are looking and ready to join your business contacting you to see if you are an actual person before joining. Then once you have confirmed what they are looking for, they join!

Now how many of these would you like. Is it better to get 200 LEADS per week which you have to call on.
Or would it be better to get 2 people join who can then use the same system you used to help their 2 join each week.

Do the math, no wait - download the book and save yourself time by reading my book (red button on right)

Here's how - increase the # of calls and emails from people wanting your products and services.

Here's how - increase the # of calls and emails from people wanting your products and services.

Previous posts included how to increase traffic and how traffic / visits to your blog can have a compound or snowball effect. BUT

BIG BUT - you must offer visitors a way of getting in touch with you and you MUST have a way of getting in touch with them. That's why whenever I post, I put it on my blog. My post is then framed by my contact info and my system which I use to gain new customers (more on that later).

Anyway - just download the book by clicking the link on the right - RED BUTTON which says something like click here. The book has everything to get started, but also you'll have my contact details anyway.

Now as I spend an hour online a day and at least 6 with my family (that's my why) you might not always get to me straight away, but I will get back to you. Google plus me or facebook me too.

Now reason I post in my blog first is that I can then go to my blog and like it, google plus it, facebook link it. Now rather than just posting a USELESS message in facebook, I now have a trackable link which shows me where I get traffic from and how many links I get and all those other metrics I mentioned in my previous post - the same metrics that can help you in the growth of your business.

PLUS - I help you to get started.

Now as it is late, I'll just post a quick message. Connect with me - mark@hopgood.eu or if you are in the UK call me on 07767 875 550.

Success is just a few steps away.
Here's to you taking the next steps to further success.

p.s. customers call me and people contact me to join my organisation because they know that I have the skills, system and am willing to share and mentor. I even give you the system to use, resell and make money from if you wish. UNLESS you love your JOB and your BOSS. Do you?

are you blogging today to get more people to see your business opportunity?

Are you blogging today - getting people to see your business.

Here's a graph of visits to my blog. Yesterday I posted about how to win the race in building your business. You can see that as a result of this post I received over 22 visits to my blog which includes information about my business.

Graph of Blogger page views
chart showing the impact of 1 new post on Team Of Amazing People's blog (Mark N Hopgood)


What it also shows is the impact of not blogging. During my holiday (28th October - 3rd Nov) you can see how I received less visits.

In total here's the information that is available:

How many visits I received.
How many visits I don't receive if I don't promote.
The fact that I have a blog.
The fact that I have a lead capture system ( I received 6 new leads as a result of this post)

If you would like to step up and build an online business that can attract visitors daily, then I invite you to download my e-book on the right by clicking the red button next to the couch potato.

3 ways to build a massive business online

Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Who wins? The tortoise of course.

Because of their slowness, their steadiness and their comittment they get the job done. Complete the race in your way.

As far as earning an income online or with a home business.

Are you in?

Not just today but for the long term?

After all a business cannot be built in a day, week, month or even a year.
You grow it day by day, week by week, month by month and yes year by year.

As you apply the steps involved on a consistent and persistent basis, you'll notice a couple of things happening. Some people join, come and go. The ones who quit are like the hare. They get distracted or stop for a rest and never get back into the swing of things.

As an ex teacher I recognised this in some of my students. Those that skipped school once or twice started getting in the habit of quitting on a regular basis and eventually it was almost impossible for them to go a week and turn up for classes. You know where those kids end up, right?

Anyway one thing that has really helped me to grow my business on a daily basis is having an online system that helps me to engage with my business every day - i.e. turn up to that important class. Having my online system coupled with a powerful autoresponder and the ability to offer people my free ebook allows me to blog every day.

The result?
A slow and steady, consistent source of high quality leads - i.e. people who want to download my book and join my business.

So, what's the next steps for you? Go back to the race?
I recommend downloading my book on the right, following each step slowly and steadily, every day.
