Getting more back links and targeted traffic to a business website is always a top priority. With Social Bookmarking, you can tap into an unlimited supply of free targeted traffic and back links to your network marketing business website.
Benefits of Social Bookmarking:
** More Targeted Traffic.
Since your bookmarks are categorized into different TAGS, you will get VERY targeted traffic from people searching within that particular TAG. They will click on your bookmark link and visit your site. Your TAGS will rank well in the search engines due to the authority these sites have.
** Faster Search Engine Indexing.
Most of these Social Bookmarking sites are authoritative sites. The search engine spiders visit these sites so often that your links will be crawled almost immediately.
** Higher Search Engine Ranking.
Getting one-way incoming links is the main factor to higher search engine ranking. With Social Bookmarking, you can get unlimited "keyword" links to your site. Having more keyword links that are relevant to your site will result in higher rankings.
** Better PageRank.
Having PageRank (PR) Social Bookmarking sites linked to your site will improve your site's PR. With a higher PR, you can link to your new/existing sites and improve their rankings too! You can even monetize on it by selling links to your site!
Social Bookmarking can be very time consuming, but I have come across a program that handles everything for you. In no time I am seeing higher rankings, and the targeted traffic i awesome!

Getting your own domain name is one of the most important things you can do in your business. It's the first step in branding yourself and claiming your business as YOUR'S.
In most network marketing businesses, you're given a link to share with people to get them to your site. And most of the time these links can get kinda lengthy. Take for example my business link: www.lhninternational.com/raydavis . Now that's not too long, but it's hard for people to remember. So I went to Yahoo and got my own domain name for $1.99 for the first year, and now my link is: www.raydavishomebiz.com/ . Much more professional and easier to remember.
So if you're still using the company link, please consider your own special link. It will make you look more professional, and will draw you more business. I like to see a person's name in their link, it makes it YOU, and it makes it more personable.
Below is the link that you can follow to buy a domain name from Yahoo for $1.99 for the first year. Once you buy it, all you have to do is "forward" your new domain name to your company link, instructions are given when you buy, it's easy to do. And within minutes you will be on your way to branding yourself and looking more like a business owner :)
Being a leader in network marketing is what it's all about. If you can't and wont lead your team members, someone else will.
Everything you do should be done with your team (downline) in mind. Take 3 mins and watch this powerful motivational video, and share it with your team!
It took me some time to learn this, but in all you do in your recruiting efforts, there is a much bettr way than following a cold calling script and placing undue pressure on yourself and your prospect for the close, and it's much easier than you think.Once I really understood this one thing, my business REALLY took off!
Here it is:
Instead of going for the hard sell, BE what your prospects are looking for.
What I just said is very subtle, but more powerful than you can imagine.
Instead of reading a script and getting nervous about wether or not you are going to close that particular lead into your business, SHOOT RIGHT PAST IT. Start training them from the get go.
What are you as a sponsor?
You are a COACH that is going to help your prospect get to where they want to go faster and easier than if they tried on their own. So my philosophy is this.....
Start teaching and training your would be recruit BEFORE they are a recruit and watch what happens. They wont know what is happening, but you'll be ATTRACTING them towards you like a magnet instead of forcing them into your business with the hard sell.
Speak to your prospect about what you do, give them advice, steer them in the right direction WHILE they are still PROSPECTS and watch how naturally most will WANT to be a part of whatever you are doing.
Thousands of people are loosing their jobs each day, which means thousands of people are looking for new jobs and ways to make enough money to make ends meet. Every day I come across people who are in fear of loosing their jobs and scared that they wont be able to survive if they don't have money coming in.

As many of you know, I use mostly free methods of advertising to build my business. I also teach my down line these same methods. If you haven't picked up a copy of Building On A Budget yet, you are really missing out on some good advertising methods that you can set up for free that will explode your business. You can find the link at the top right hand side of this page, it's the best thing you can do to get your opportunity out in front of the great flood of new prospects that are in need of what you have to offer.
I wont go into great detail here about what Craigslist is, most of you already know. It's a place where people post ads for things to sell, business opportunities and the such. Thousands of people click onto Craigslist each day looking for work or ways to make money at home. These people can become fresh new leads for you if you position yourself in the proper manner.
The first thing you want to do is go to Craigslist and sign up for an account, this free and only takes a couple minutes. After signing up for an account, you can now post an ad. Go to the home page and click on "small biz ads". Once you are there, look on the top of the page and click on post ad. And also choose a city that you want the ad posted in. This is awesome because you can now reach people in different states and cities.
The Title.
Your title should be eye catching and should make the reader want to click through to read your ad. Make it sound professional and to the point. If your ad title isn't well thought out and eye catching, people will just pass you up. Also make it truthful.
The ad body.
This where you are going to present "part" of your opportunity. Yes, just part. You want your ad to be short and to the point. Yet you want to reveal just enough information to have the reader click you business link to learn more. Be honest and upfront about what you are offering. Don't make it sound cheesy like some get rich quick scam, you really don't want those kinda people in your business anyways. You want quality team members, and that's who you want to attract. Give them enough information to understand what it isn't and what it is, but just enough to force them to want to click on your link.
About posting.
You can post in as many cities as you want, as long as you don't post the same ad each time, they wont let you do it. As long as you change up about 20% of each ad, you will have no problems. Sit down and write out your ad. Then write 5 different versions of that ad. Then post each different add in 5 different cities and states. You can focus on the largest cities, or cities in your area. But I promise, if you will do the what I call "5 N 5"....."5 ads in 5 cities"....each day, you will start to see the leads pouring in. Also, make sure you have some way for these leads to contact you, or for you to capture their information, such as a squeeze page.
Following this little idea and plan WILL bring you leads. You can also learn more ideas like this one by clicking on the "Building On A Budget " link at the top right corner of this page. Let me know how it works for you!!!
One of the most over looked ways to bring in new recruits is to market the products your network marketing company offers.
All the top earners have Google Adword campaigns that specifically targets the products for sale.
By creating product sales, you not only make commissions from those sales, but those who continue to buy them are some of your very best leads to recruit into your business.
They are the ones who will be the most excited and their enthusiasm will be contagious.
It's amazing how simple this concept is and it's so overlooked. I am sure part of the reason you got involved in the first place was because of the products. So market them!
Plus, you will retain these people much longer than just recruits who only care about the commissions. The product users are your key to building long lasting residual income.
So many get into their first business with high hopes and an open mind and are quickly given the worst advice imaginable. It happened to me. What was this advice? "Get out there and get some leads so you can get a team under you so you can cover your costs." Bad advice on two points: 1- Buying leads takes a major point of control away from you as a marketer. You're paying someone to give you leads, and you have no control over where they come from, who they are, how many other marketers have bought them also, and you don't know how fresh they are. THIS IS BAD! 2- Trying to recruit your way to a situation to where your costs are covered is not something that will happen very quickly. The money you earn in your network marketing business is cut up into 100s of small pieces to suit your compensation plan. Of the money you bring into your company, you only get a small portion of it. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because this leverage swings both ways. Once you have a big team under you, those small pieces start to add up into something significant. You're just not going to make much money quickly by trying to recruit your way to covering your costs. This is what happens to most network marketers when trying to use this tactic. You spend hundreds on leads this month, and hundreds next month, and then again the month after and etc. Now you no only have your monthly membrship cost to cover, you have this huge advertising expense to recoup AND to make matters worse, you're trying to with recruiting. This situation will take you years, if ever to recover from. It's like trying to dig a hole and every time you shovel out a scoop of dirt someone puts two scoops back in with another scoop for good measure. Now you got a little mound growing in front of you and you started with flat ground. You look over at your sponsor and say, "hey this doesn't look like it's going work." He says " just keep digging, thats how it works. If you dig long enough and fast enough you'll make it work." You keep digging and that once flat grond is now a full grown hill. You look in disgust and realize you have only made the problem worse. Either you did things completely wrong, or you were just not told the most effective way to dig a hole. You didn't do anything wrong. You just used on of those children's yellow plastic beach shovels when you should've been using a backhoe tractor. Profitable network marketing happens when you have a marketing system set in place that actually pays for itself and will continue to pay for itself even when you commission check doesn't cover all the costs. There is a much faster and better way to get past the brak even point in your network marketing business, you want to attack the situation head on. Also take a look at my primary business that is taking the country by storm: http://www.raydavishomebiz.com/
Have you been banging your head against the wall trying to figure out why your business isn't growing, even though you're doing everything your upline is telling you to do? That may just be the problem right there....doing everything your upline is telling you to do. Network marketing isn't as hard as you're making it out to be. 95% of all network marketers will fail in the their home business because they are using out-dated stategies that no longer work in today's advanced society. Chasing your friends and family, buying every book your upline tells you to buy, and being on the tape of the week list just doesn't work anymore, doing those things DO NOT build downlines. Although I am a firm believer in furthering your education, it's the proper education that counts. As for me, I educate my team members on how to recruit in today's world, and when they start to see their downlines grow, they don't need a tape of the week, or a book to help them maintain their excitement.....The excitement comes with moving to the next level, it builds with each new recruit they sign up. Network marketers make this business hard by not educating themselves on today's latest marketing systems and stategies that work. Recruiting in today's society. The old days of MLM marketing are dead and gone. The days of "selling" a person on an opportunity or product are over. The new age of network marketing, and doing it right, is having people come to you. Having a person approach YOU about your business is easier than you think. When I talk to someone about my business, I don't "sell" them on my idea, I have them sell themselves. Having a person sell themselves on your business or product will give you a higher quality team member, opposed to you selling them. Have them give you reasons as to why YOU should allow them to join your business. Most network marketers never learn to listen. Listen to the problems a person is having in their life, and then you can base your questions around their problems. Learn to guide a person through the conversation by asking questions, and let them give you the answers, and they will start to see how joining your business will solve their problems. You are a problem solver, and you must present yourself as that. Remember to ask questions that bring out a person's problems, show how your business can solve that problem, and allow the prospect to sell himself. When you learn these kind of techniques, moving on to the next level will just get easier and easier. Network marketing is a fun business, and an easy business, but only if you educate yourself and learn how to market your business the proper way.I offer free education on my blog to everyone no matter what business you are in, and those stategies will work for any person or business. It's just my way of being a problem solver. This is not a hard business. You make it hard by not educating yourself. Be part the 5% and explode your downline by learning what works and sticking to it, and then teaching it to your downline.
I'm a really down to Earth kinda guy. I love helping people and have a heart and a mission to see network marketers make something of their businesses. I have grown my business to a very successful team of motivated people, and I like passing what I learn on to others. I'm not here to get you to join my business or my team. But I am here to help you become a success. But I will say this.... If you are in a business that just doesn't live up to your financial goals, or if you belong to a team that just doesn't give you the support you need to become a top producer, then I would invite you to take a look at what I have to offer you. Other than that, you can email me any questions and my advice, teaching, training and motivations are free :)
