Marco Abanico’s Review of My Lead System Pro
Have you been to those pie-in-the-sky network marketing meetings? Did they tell you that you have to make a list of all your friends and family members? Did you ever try to drag them to an 8 o’clock Saturday morning meeting when you preferred to be sleeping in? Did you run out of friends to whom you can sell your opportunity? Are you now a part of the NFL (no friends left) club?
Spying on Your Network Marketing Competition
If you have ever thumbed through Home Business magazine, Small Business Opportunities magazine, or a local newspaper in your area, how many times have you gone to the classified ads section and looked up your competitors in the network marketing industry? There is a lot, right? How can a beginning online network marketer develop a unique selling position (USP) so that he can stand up above his competition?
The following is some pointers on developing a good USP:
What Choices Do I Have in Advertising for MLM Leads?
You signed up with a reputable MLM company and you have some ideas for getting the word out. If doing a public speaking sales presentation is something you are not good at, then why not do some advertising for your online MLM business in order to generate leads?
Advertising can take many shapes and forms. The ones you choose are a function of what you are selling and the available funds you have to spend on advertising.
The following is a list on how to advertise your online network marketing business:

Network Marketing – Reasons to Start an MLM Business on the Internet
In this day and age, people are overworked and underpaid. They want to follow the American dream of owning their own business. Many people look to multi-level marketing (MLM), otherwise known as network marketing, in order to achieve that dream. Of the people surveyed, many of them cite several reasons why they want to start a online network marketing business in their own home.
The following is a list of why people want to work from home:
- To spend more time with family
- To cut back on the long commute
- To enjoy flexibility throughout the work day
MLM Business Prospecting – A Non-Stop Process
Okay. They have taught you how to go out and prospect at the last network marketing seminar. But there is something that you may find hard to swallow. You have already been trained to prospect your entire life! You do it every day without knowing it.
The word “prospecting” is congruent with “mining, searching, seeking, and hunting.” If you ever went job hunting, bought a house, gone shopping at the local supermarket, or searched for your significant other at an online dating website, then you have in fact engaged in prospecting. For instance, if you were to break down the process of prospecting when shopping for a car, it may resemble something like the following scenario:
What Sets You Apart From the Rest?
A network marketing company has sparked your interest, and you finally signed on the dotted line to become a distributor. Now you are in business for yourself. Now you have to get the word about your new business. Seeing that there are lots of competitors out there who are also looking to recruit more distributors, how can you set yourself apart from the rest of them? How can you create a unique selling position (USP) so that prospects will distinguish you from everybody else?
What is a unique selling position?
Stepping Outside of Your Comfort Zone in MLM
We are all people of habit. We engage in habitual things. For some, it is excessive smoking. For others, it is excessive eating. Apart from the bad habits, human beings engage in certain habits that produce a degree of certainty in the results even if those habits may not be good for us.
Simultaneously, we want better results but shun anything that is new and different. Therefore, we revert back to what is safe and comfortable in our comfort zone.
The fact of the matter is change is the only constant. To grow and evolve both personally and professionally in your network marketing business, you must make change and step out from your comfort zone.
What is Prospecting in Network Marketing
You are now a distributor of a big multi-level marketing company. One of the techniques they teach you at the company seminar is prospecting. Those of you who become distributors of a network marketing company may find that prospecting as another fish line to throw into the water as a supplement to your online network marketing recruiting activities.
If you find that you are an extroverted type person, then prospecting for that next person in your downline is for you. So what exactly is prospecting? Doctors and lawyers use this technique all the time. So do successful online network marketers.
Blogging to Keep Your MLM Site Updated
If you are into network marketing and plan to do online recruiting, you need to keep your website fresh and dynamic even though your MLM website looks static.
One way to keep your site dynamic is by blogging. By blogging about your network marketing website, you can put in your own information about your business, your neighborhood, or your favorite candidate for the next president.
If you plan to blog, have your bloglinks pointing to your personal MLM homepage so that your readers can bookmark it by saving your URL. The more visitors or hits you get to your online network marketing website, the higher your position will be in the search engines. Some of the most popular blogging software to use are Blogger, WordPress, Typepad, or Movable Type.

Day Job Vs Multi-Level Marketing?
I remember many years ago an episode of the 80’s sitcom, “Three’s Company,” in which Chrissy Snow, a character on the show, quit her day job to pursue network marketing full time. She had the euphoric high that she was going to get rich over night by signing up all her friends and family into her new business. Jack and Janet, her roommates, did not like that idea at all.
Starting a Home-Based MLM Business After Being Downsized
