It came to my attention today that there were so many MLM friends of mine that were using a Face Book Fan Page to market. That’s great, but what they don’t know is that they are using this as their central hub.
MLM’s can work for you through Internet Marketing if you have a blog as your central hub rather than Face Book.
There are many restrictions from MLM companies. It is not their fault, they just have been misrepresented in the past and do not want their logo or downloads on your Face Book Fan Page. So don’t get all riled up about it. You must understand the new restrictions concerning MLM’s.
Check with your primary opportunity company to see what their rules are, and adhere to them. Also, respect the Face Book rules for promoting your MLM. It will benefit you in the long run, and steer you cleer of the “spammer” image that can spoil your personal brand.
If you are selling MLM products through social media, please do your homework and position your blog as YOUR central hub. Have a marketing system to follow so you can take advantage of all the rapid changes happening in Social Media.
You have to keep it SOCIAL. Create relationships, not just numbers. When people get to know you, they will buy YOU and be interested in anything you’re doing, including your MLM. Get the Picture?
I’ve learned so much from your blog posts alone and recently purchased your latest product through MLSP. Thanks for the valuable info.

Yes Denise, It is so true. So many people are wasting time and money on this. Things change so quickly, so if you are marketing something, you HAVE to be on the leading edge. That’s why I follow one “guru” that works for me and am part of the “Mastermind Tribe” It keeps me posted to the latest and greatest.

I’m so glad I stumbled across the information on how to market my network marketing business the new way otherwise I would have continued to place anonymous ads all over the place and wonder why noone was interested.
Relationships all the way! Thankyou.

Thank you Lani for visiting my blog. Yes, many restrictions come with most MLM Companies, but you can’t really blame them because of misrepresentation on peoples part.
Thanks for your reply,

I agree. Building relationships is the key Rasia
Thank you for your comment.
Donna,
some marketers don’t understand that people only buy from people they know and trust, and don’t take the time to make relationships.
It’s so unpleasant, when people who don’t know you, the first thing they do on Facebook is to push their opportunity as a welcome message.
Thanks

Thanks Val
I’m having so many of my clients complain because their MLM companies are kicking them out for misrepresentation. One little word can piss off certain MLM companies. I don’t blame them. I’ve seen these pages and they are everything we are trained NOT to do.
It has been a difficult task trying to get through to some of the MLM people because they are so far behind us. I’m trying to post things to enlighten them before Facebook kicks them off.
Thanks for the comment Val.

Donna,
Wonderful pointers on creating a blog and marketing about your MLM opportunity. Some companies have very strict regulations about promoting with your own site.
I also agree that the worse thing is someone who pushes their opportunity in your face before they even know you. Might as well cold call from the phone book! 🙂
Have an awesome day,
Val 🙂
