Warning!
Resistance
is futile... The kind of information I
am going to share with you right now
might come back to bite you in the butt
one day if you don't listen closely.
I believe
the time has come for all Network
Marketers to realize there is an
emerging trend within the industry the
realization of which will transform the
way we do business in Network Marketing.
The World Wide Web has proven to be the
largest and most effective networking
platform on the planet. That we know as
fact! Accessing the Internet and the Web
was quite a task in the past but today,
it is readily available almost anywhere
on the planet. Literally hundreds of
millions of people use the Internet on a
daily basis to communicate, to share
information, to exchange thoughts,
ideas, education, pictures, videos and
yes, even to
Promote Products and Services.
So where do
Network Marketers fit into this
equation?
How can we
use this knowledge to help us build a
stronger business?
First, let's
review some fundamentals and let's agree
on the following:
-
The
Internet is not going away anytime
soon. Internet is here to stay! As a
matter of fact, you might want to
consider that The Internet is going
to go down as the most important
communication tool of the 21st
Century.
-
We all live in a
smaller neighborhood thanks to the
Internet. It's called the
World!
-
Technologies and Software
developments have reached a point
where today Network Marketing
Companies are easily able to
integrate business processes for
their network of independent
entrepreneurs like you and I.
Here
are only a few examples:
Personal Websites with Flash
Presentations, Reporting and
Document Downloading, E-mail and
e-Card Broadcasting, Streaming Audio
and Video feeds, Virtual
Conferencing and much more...
-
The
learning curve to use the Internet
is way shorter and easier than it's
ever been.
-
More and
more Network Marketing entrepreneurs
are using an ever growing number of
Internet Services and tools to
communicate.
-
Last but
not least, there is an ever growing
number of these entrepreneurs who
have chosen to create their own
websites (more on your personal
website later)
You and I
must look at the Internet as one Big
Piece of Real Estate. Our knowledge and
use of it will determine how much of
this Real Estate we will own in the
future.

INTERNET PROSPECTING
AS A BUSINESS
I don't
claim to be smarter than Bill Gates but
I do see an obvious trend happening
today. About 10 years ago, the Internet
gave birth to the MLM and Network
Marketing INTERNET PROSPECTING Industry.
This recent trend has created a whole
new industry. Many service and marketing
companies have been born out of this new
trend and the subsequent demand it
created. They have designed and built
websites and systems in order to
prospect and generate leads for MLM,
Network Marketing, Direct Sales
Companies and their Distributors. Some
of the better known Internet Prospecting
Companies are
Growth Pro,
Prospect Connect
and
MLM Brilliance.
Available
primarily in English, these companies
charge anywhere from $19.95 per month
upwards to $39.95 per month just to
provide their customers a Prospecting
Website. Customers must, however,
populate the contact management database
with their own prospects as a rule.
Other companies will charge anywhere
from $70 to $200 per month for a
Prospecting Website with pre-qualified
leads. As an example, you might want 15
leads per month to be included with your
website @ $70 per month OR 100
leads to be included @ $200 per month.
Don't kid yourself; there are thousands
of Network Marketers who pay these fees
simply because they no longer want to be
bothered with prospecting on their own.
When you think
of prospecting, I suggest you think outside
the box of "what you know" or "what you know
that you don't know". Remember there exists
a domain called "That which you don't even
know that you don't know yet" and it's far
greater than the former two domains listed
here. Look at prospecting like a wheel with
many spokes attached to it and every spoke
of this prospecting wheel will help you
build your business. As a whole, these
spokes keep the wheel turning in balance.
Here are a few Prospecting spokes that come to mind
immediately but there are undoubtedly many
many more:
-
Family
members, friends and current business
associates
-
Past
co-workers, co-students, teachers, etc.
-
Suppliers
are a good source of prospects seeing as
they are the people you hand over your
hard earned money to. Your dentist, your
insurance and real estate agents,
doctor, lawyer, accountant, banker, etc.
-
Cold Market
Prospecting also ensures you keep your
prospect list full at all times
(spontaneous introductions, newspaper
advertising, sizzle cards, flyers,
business cards, Bulletin boards, etc.
My point is that
there is a multitude of ways to build and
maintain an ongoing list of prospects. The
question you may want to ask yourself is:
"What kind of prospect list am I attracting
into my life and why am I attracting it?"
(especially if your list is not constantly
renewing and full)
==> SIDE NOTE
<==
If you haven't
yet seen
The
Secret (the movie), you ought to put
that task high up on your priority list for
2007. It's all about the Law of Attraction.

CREATING
YOUR OWN PROSPECTING WEBSITE
Over the last 5
years, I must have tried 2 or 3 different
suppliers of Prospecting Websites. Although
I found them to be very well done and full
of great features, I also found that they
were way too top heavy for the average user
in my downline. I began to think; "Why don't
I learn to build my own website? It can't be
that difficult! Well as uncomfortable as it
was, I began to study the tools available.
Although many people swear by the
Macromedia Dreamweaver
software, I needed software where the
learning curve would be short and sweet. I
chose
Microsoft FrontPage
and I'm glad I did.
Through trial
and error, I have created at least 5
websites in the last 2 years (that I still
manage) and I have dealt with 4 different
hosting companies so I have a fairly good
knowledge of which suppliers are out there
and the variety of tools and services
offered by each.
WEBSITE
RECOMMENDATIONS
Below is a quick
description of some choices and prices you
have available. To assist you in reading up
on the appropriate category, I have labeled
your choices under Beginner,
Intermediate and Advanced with a
short description of each category:
Beginner
(You know
very little about web page design)
SiteSell is
my preferred choice because you don't have
to know all the HTML stuff to build your
site. However, you have to be prepared to go
to school. Ken Evoy is a great teacher
though and he's fun to study. He literally
takes you by the hand from conception to
realization. As a matter of fact, they have
a huge promotion going on that ends on
January 3rd, 2007 where you can get 2
sites for the price of one.
Intermediate
(You are
very comfortable with web page design and
FTP software)
I host websites
and I offer several attractive Hosting
Packages. Point your browser
HERE to check
out your Hosting
Package choices.
Advanced
(You are
well versed in website building and online
marketing)
KIOSK-GVO is my
preferred Internet Service company. In a nutshell, for $44,95
per month
or $540.00 per year, you get everything I
offer you as Hosting as well as an
Auto-Responder System, an Online
Conferencing Solution AND the infamous Easy
Video Producer Software.
MY POINT IS
THIS:
Having your very
own website (www.yourname.com)
is within reach. It can wind up simply being
your Business Card on the web OR it can be a
rich-content platform with which you can
attract hundreds and maybe thousands of
pre-qualified prospects to you and your
Business opportunity.
IT'S YOUR
DECISION BUT...
Of course, you
can choose to do nothing but mark my
word..."without your own website, you don't
exist on the Internet. Therefore you have no
way of reaching the Billions that will soon
populate the Internet as their way of
communication, buying, selling, you name it!
I can't believe that you want to miss out on
getting in on the action!
OK Peter, I'd
like to have my own website but I can't be
bothered to go through the learning curve. I
don't want to build it myself. Can you offer
me a solution?
Sure! Call
or write to me to discuss your options and
yes, if you want a
site but you don't want to be bothered
building it, I can assist. My main focus of
activity is my own Network Marketing
Business. However, my company, Mission
Marketing Global has several divisions, one
of which is Internet Marketing. Yes, it's going to
cost you if you want someone else to build
it for you but maybe you don't mind paying to
have it done for you and you'd rather focus
on building your business. That's OK too!
If you're
interested in having a conversation with me
on that possibility, please fill in the form
below and I will be happy to contact you
within 24 hours.
