MLM Online Business - The Art of Building Relationships in Cyberspace

Is it possible to build a Network Marketing Business Online? Or, are the nay-sayers right? This is a belly to belly business and it's impossible to build it online? I think not! Building an MLM business online is not only possible, it's highly profitable!


I built my original business offline, the Old School MLM way. After making a list of everyone I knew; begging and dragging others to meetings; mall walking; and putting cards under windshields (yuck), I said "no more."

Network Marketing is for me, but only when people come to me.

New School Network Marketing, using the Internet provides that!

Thanks.

First, My Story in Network Marketing 

I Was a MLM Skeptic, Are You?

I am passionate about Network Marketing and the ability this industry offers you and me to positively empower and affect the lives of others. But, I didn't always feel this way. I was an MLM skeptic!

My success story in Network Marketing would not be complete without sharing the first part of my story, and how and why I decided to take my Network Marketing business to the Internet.

My story is similar to many, maybe even yours. Read the rest of my story here -

How This WAHM Earned Over $1 Million in Her Online MLM Business



How and Why I Took My MLM Business Online 

I didn't start out as an MLM Success Story. The Internet changed that. Here is that story in a nutshell...

Was it possible to have people come to me? Would that really happen? I had faith that it could. But how?

Oddly enough, about that time, I attended a seminar about the Internet, which was quite foreign to me. When I came out of the seminar, my head was spinning.

If people were going to the Internet to find answers and solutions, then I needed to get to the Internet. Surely people were online looking for a home business and even a MLM Business Online!

All throughout my career in Network Marketing, "heavy hitters" shared that in order to be full time in the business, and earn a big paycheck; your business has to be out in front of people four to eight times a day. Right, with two toddlers?

I could see, however, that using the Internet, I could leverage my time because five, ten, twenty, even fifty people or more could be viewing my business at the same time, online! And, they didn't have to be geographically close to me. I didn't even have to know them!

And, thus began the journey of my life!


MLM Online Business




In the first six months, I sponsored more people online than I did in six years offline. And, they all came to me!

Today, I am still happily building a very successful business, and teaching others how to do the same along the way. And, I am doing it with integrity, style, and on my own terms; something largely lacking online.

I want to teach you how to develop a system of your own that will allow someone to find you, go through your business, get enough of their questions answered and even sign up, without you even knowing about it!

It could even happen while you are sleeping, playing golf, vacationing, or anywhere but in front of your computer.

Now, imagine if you have a team of people also doing this. Others who have their business set up to be constantly out there and in front of those who are looking for the right program and the right sponsor. The sorting and signing up process is streamlined and in place for those for whom the time is right!

Exciting, isn't it?

Now, here is a warning and a disclaimer. (You knew that was coming, right?) Don't expect to absorb everything at once. Do expect to feel at times like possibly you can't do this. If you aren't "techie" (and I am not) it may seem like you have bitten off more than you can chew. You haven't. I promise. You can do this. Believe in yourself and know that it is so worth it.

Follow along with the steps I outline and you'll know exactly what I did to achieve a high, six figure income without leaving my house to build my MLM Business. This is an MLM Online Business.


How to Build an MLM Online Business 

Follow the steps listed here, educate yourself and take action!

Here are the steps to get you out online. These include how to develop a personal website that sells YOU (it's easier than you think!); How to Market that site Online; How to talk to leads once you get them; how to duplicate the process; and more!

All of the tools and resources I use and recommend are at -

Education First for Your MLM Online Business Success 

Educate Yourself and Then Take Action

Here are the resources you'll want to first explore to develop your online presence.

Profit in Your PJs - My Report on Being a Netrepreneur
You already know about the incredible phenomenon of the Internet! That's why you are here. Think about the way the Internet has changed all of our lives already. It has changed the way we shop, play, research and work. The Internet has been touted as the "greatest self help tool ever invented."

By the time you are done reading this report, you will have a much better idea of how to get started and more importantly, how to build a SUCCESSFUL business! I know this because I have done it, and I want to share this information with you.

MLM, the Internet and You!

This is my 150+ page e-book that details exactly what I do, and have done, over the past 8 years to develop my online presence. My goal is to short cut the learning curve for you and get you online and sponsoring!

Step One Online - The Personal Website 

You MUST Have a Personal Site That Sells YOU!

Your Personal Website is what separates you from the rest in your MLM Online Business. Are you serious about being successful online? If you are, then you must be marketing yourself and your opportunity with a personal site.

This is how I have signed up close to 1000 people since I've marketed online. These are people who find me online, go through my business details, and contact me directly.

Sound too good to be true? It's not. It's taken me right to the top of my company pay plan and right to the high six figure income ranks!

Worried that you don't know HTML? No worries. I didn't know a thing either and look at this site. It's build using the tools you'll learn about.
SBI for MLM - the Single Best Website and Toolbox Available

SBI-MLM is my number one pick for not only building a website, but also for the tools to get to the top of the search engines. And, that is just the start. You'll also learn the other key features such as blogging and content to get traffic to your site.

Simple Web Site Template Builder

The second option is simple and affordable and has great templates for a professional look. Nice traffic tracking tools are in place, too. It does not have the same Search Engine Submission and Ranking tools in place as SBI, but with some work on your part, you can still get a great ranking. It's as simple as working with a word document, using this builder. At least give the 10 day trial a go and you'll be sold on the tools and how simple it is.

The Most Important Thing About MLM Online Business Building

Okay, are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed already? Slow down...You Can Do It!

I want you to remember one thing - If you commit to this process; take the steps recommended and then take action; you will build an amazing income and lifestyle from the comfort of your home!

The Internet is the WAVE of the Future. Be part of it!

Step Two - Advertising and Marketing Your MLM Business Online 

You have a Site; Where is Everybody?


Many people believe that using the Internet means buying leads and dumping them into an autoresponder, then see what happens.

Not me! I want people to actually FIND my site first when they are searching for a business, and then contact me through my website.

Imagine what a strong lead this is. They already "know me" to some extent; they know my business; and they have asked me to provide more information. This type of lead is priceless.

The key to getting this lead is taking action to advertise your website.

My Three Primary Ways of Getting People to My Site 

There are many ways to get people to your site. These are the three I use consistently and effectively...

  • Writing Articles. Go to Google and Type in Jackie Ulmer Articles. You'll see what I mean.
  • Getting Involved in MLM and Work at Home Forums. People are online looking for answers. They are most often in Comunities online
  • Social Networking Sites - MySpace, YouTube, Blogger, Squidoo, FaceBook - these are all great examples of ways you can find people online, and more importantly have them find you.

Writing Articles and Getting Them Published Online 

A fast way to get the word out about YOU and your website, too!

In my opinion, marketing online is the BEST system, but, like anything, it takes solid, consistent effort. You must establish yourself online as a credible, knowledgeable business owner. Once you do that, the rest begins to take care of itself.

Writing articles has been another of my strongest marketing tools online. I originally began writing articles to fill up space in my own newsletter, and then learned that I could make those same articles available for other publishers to use in their newsletter, and include a resource box directing people to my web site.

For an example of some of my articles, go to

MLM Success Training Tips Articles

At the bottom of each article, you will see my resource box. Begin to develop a resource box that "sells" you, and don't be shy.

A published article is one hundred times more effective than a paid advertisement. It gives you instant credibility and endorsement by the publisher.

You may be thinking that you can't write or have nothing to write about, but I assure you that you do. Ken Evoy, author of Make Your Site Sell publishes another incredible book on pulling your knowledge and experiences out of your brain and putting them on paper. It's called Make Your Knowledge Sell and it's available at

Make Your Knowledge Sell

His third book, Make Your Words Sell is equally as good. These resources helped me collect my thoughts and experiences and get them into something that would produce for me. We all have experiences and out there online, there are people every where that can relate to your experiences. How do you think I started my journey writing and selling e-books?

Make Your Words Sell

I started visiting sites with articles and reading some of them to get an idea what was out there and what people were writing about.



Jackie Ulmer, MLM Online Business



You do not have to write articles specific to your business, your product, or Network Marketing.

What subject areas do you know a lot about? Write articles around this and submit to publishers who need this type of information.

Are you a gourmet cook? Do you like fine wine? Do you travel extensively?

Write a fun, interesting article around a subject near, dear, and known to your heart. Then, include your business link in your resource box.

Go to Google.com and type in How to Write Articles.

You'll find current, informative resources to assist you with how to write, format and submit your articles for publication.

You'll find BLOGS as well as Youtube videos and many resources to show you how it's done.

When you have your first article or two ready and want to submit them onto some sites to be listed and published, go to Google.com and type in article submission sites.

These will get you started. Each site will have slightly different rules and protocol for getting your article out there. Set up a notepad file where you save your writers bio. This is a short blurb about you as the author and includes a link to your website. Having much of the repetitive content stored in a file makes the submission process faster.

Social Networking Sites and Forums 

Social Networking Sites and Forums Online are a GREAT way to get the word out about YOU and your business.

Here's the key though - You don't go in and tell everyone how wonderful your opportunity is. You go in and network, getting to know people.

Here is what Wikipedia.com has written about MySpace -

"MySpace is a social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos internationally...

According to Alexa Internet, MySpace is currently the world's sixth most popular website, and the third most popular website in the United States, though it has topped the chart on various weeks.

The service gradually gained more popularity than similar websites to achieve nearly 80% of visits to online social networking websites in 2006. Today its traffic is similar to that of Facebook, a competing social network.

The company employs 300 staff and does not disclose revenues or profits separately from News Corporation. The 100 millionth account was created on August 9, 2006 in the Netherlands and a news story claimed 106 million accounts on September 8, 2006, and the site reportedly attracts 230,000 new registrations per day. As of January 2007, there are over 200 million accounts."

Imagine the traffic you can ultimately drive to your personal website and the number of people you can expose to your business if you are networking properly out online.

So, as you are building a profile and developing a presence at any social networking site, go with good intentions, and have clear intentions.

Make sure your opportunity is listed there but don't be hype filled. No one likes that. Remember Social Etiquette. Now, you may find over time that MySpace doesn't fit you, but it's a good place to jump in and get your feet wet.

Once you create your profile or bio there, be sure to save all of your text in a Word or Notepad file so you can easily cut and paste as you move on and create other sites.

Photobucket

Now, before you get frustrated, take a deep breath and KNOW that you will take this one step at a time.


The best way to explain is just to show you my social Networking Sites.

My Social Networking Sites 

You can visit each of my links and get an idea of how I set up my pages. And, click on some friend's sites, too, from my links and you'll get lots of ideas.
Jackie Ulmer on MySpace

Here is my Social Site at MySpace. This is a BUSY site and can be a little overwhelming at first, with all of the blinking and such. But, worth your time to get to know and build a page.

Jackie Ulmer on FaceBook

FaceBook is a little less daunting than MySpace and widely used by the college and up crowd. It's layout is a little cleaner.

And, Twitter. This network is growing!

Ning, another great community

Things to Keep in Mind About Social Networks 

Creating a profile and getting involved in Social Networks can get you front page listings on Google very quickly, and here are some things to remember....
  1. Make sure you have a personal website to take people TO once they find you on a Social Networking site. You want to develop the relationship and capture their contact information. This is done at YOUR personal site.
  2. Remember, SOCIAL Etiquette rules! No one wants to hear about how they can make "$10,000 in 10 days" or anything like that. When you are online in a forum or social site, pretend like you are walking into a party. Only behave in the way you would if you were face to face. Would you walk in blaring your opportunity? I hope not!
  3. Make sure you don't get too bogged down with blinking, flashing and slow loading. People will not wait to see your page load if it takes too long.
  4. Get involved. Part of your weekly online strategy will involve re-visiting and networking on these sites. People need to see you, then know you, like you, trust you.
  5. Have fun! It's like a big party out there, and you don't have to dress up!

Even More Ideas for Generating Leads Online for Your Business 

My E-Book Contains more.

You'll find more details on the ways listed above to build your MLM business and many other ideas. All tested and proven by me.

MLM, the Internet and You - How to Build a Successful Network Marketing Business Online

There are three tools that I feel are absolutely crucial to your success online

1. A personal web site that sells you!
2. Autoresponders, for business information, follow up and a newsletter.
3. Leads for your business.

And, here are some of the ways we will cover to promote your website and your business -

Developing Your Newsletter and Getting Subscribers
Dynamic email signature line
Search Engines
Message Boards and Forums
Articles
Social Networking Sites
Web 2.0
Discussion Lists
BLOGGING
Chats
Online Profiles
Target Markets
Reciprocal Links
E-books
Ezine/Newsletter Ad swaps and advertising
Visiting other Home Based Business Sites
Branding yourself online

You will spend some time initially getting things set up, but once it's done, your efforts are invested in activities that produce results! That equates to a fat paycheck!

The payoff is well worth it and once you are actually building your business this way, you'll wonder how you ever did it any other way.
