Network Marketing With No Money And No Time

Network Marketing

no money and no time - drawingSo you want to join a network marketing opportunity but have no money and no time.  What we call you in professional circles is a customer.  But let us analyze why you think you have no money and no time to work at a network marketing business.  Because usually, you do have some money and or some time, it just depend on what you are willing to sacrifice to get more money and more time.

More Time: Audit How You Use Your Time

Your 8 hours at work are important.  But there are 24 hours in a day.  Yes, sleep is important too, so that’s 16.  That leaves you 8 hours.  Oh, so you commute an hour each way?  Down to 6 hours.  But that is still 6 hours.  If you have 3 days a week of 6 hours, that’s 18 hours a week!  On average, more than 2 hours per day.  Honestly, I only think you need an hour or two per day for a network marketing business, especially if it is online.

Free Network Marketing Leads

Marketing Research and Strategy, Network Marketing

free network marketing leads - a double rainbow - gilbert azActually, this strategy can work for any business that wants to do more online, not just for network marketers.  To get free network marketing leads online, just follow this simple approach: 1) Create training as a solution to a problem your market has, 2) Collect at least names and email addresses in return for your free training, 3) Provide your free training, and 4) Continue to follow up with your leads every few days with more valuable content.  More solutions to their problems.  More detail about your training.

Create Training As A Solution To A Problem

The first thing you do to get free network marketing leads is to create training as a solution to a problem your target market is having.  For network marketers, some problems could be: How do I make a sale?, how do I get people interested in my business opportunity?,  what approaches can I take that won’t alienate people?  I am sure you can think of some more.

Why Recruit Other Network Marketers?

Network Marketing

recruit other network marketers - make friendsYou are a network marketer and you want to recruit other network marketers into your network marketing business.  It seems counter intuitive to market your offer to other network marketers, and that would be the wrong thing to do.  Think about it: If somebody comes to you trying to recruit you into their network marketing program because you are in network marketing, that would be repulsive.  But there is nothing wrong with making friends of other network marketers, and even helping them with their own program.

This can seem like a waste of time.  After all, shouldn’t you be going after somebody unconnected so that they can join your program? Here are some very good reasons why network marketers are your best target market.

Retirement Age Coming Up?

Entrepreneurship, Finance, Network Marketing

retirement age - who says you can't stay active?I know my retirement age is coming, that is the age when people traditionally retire.  It is still nearly 15 years out, but I can hear it like the pounding of a drum.  I also see age discrimination.  It is harder and harder to get full time employment because people think you are not as sharp, that your career life is shorter, that you are bound to incur more medical expenses.  Truthfully, I am not sure what form age discrimination actually takes, but I can tell it is there.

Perhaps you want to retire but like most Americans, your savings is not enough, and will not be enough at the right time.  One solution many take is to increase risk.  While the promises of high returns are enticing, the downside could wipe out much of your savings.  Similarly, people take on risky behaviors to fill in the gaps.  The promise to get rich quick is always there, but almost always designed to take your money rather than provide you more.  So what reasonable options do you have to provide enough for you and your family into your golden years?

Help Others Expecting Nothing In Return – SplashPlan.com Lesson

Creating Value, Network Marketing, Technology and Internet

help others - splashplan.comI thought it was about time to write a little about SplashPlan.com, which is our system to help network marketers.  How does it help?  Well, it is free to sign up.  You get free leads by promoting your SplashPlan.com site.  You get free training.  And you can earn a little affiliate money while you are building your network marketing business.  In this lesson I will explain why it is so important to help others and expect nothing in return.

People That Join Belong To Other Network Marketing Companies

When you sign up and start promoting your SplashPlan.com link, something like SplashPlan.com/yoursite, you will get leads that are people that belong to other network marketing companies.  Your job is not to recruit them to your program, your job is to help them be as successful as possible with their program on SplashPlan.com.  While this may seem counter productive, you want to be seen by others as being helpful and unselfish, so you help others without expecting anything in return.

MLM Scheme Or MLM Star, The Difference

Network Marketing

MLM Scheme - Your Money Is GoneSometimes it is not so easy to tell a good MLM program from an MLM scheme.  Funny, but in the past two years there have been a lot of ponzi or pyramid schemes in the online world.  Those based in the United States are usually shut down by the FTC but it may take a few years.  In the mean time, unknowing participants are shelling out anywhere from $100 to $100,000 to participate; often losing everything they have ever saved.

An MLM scheme does not have to be illegal, but may sound better than it actually is.  How do you know if a MLM program is worth your time and or money?

Ideas For Success In A Network Marketing Business

Creating Value, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management, Network Marketing
ideas for success - Big Texan

The Big Texan

I was thinking of making the title “How To Succeed In Business” because perhaps these tips could be applied to any business and not just in network marketing (or MLM).  Business is business right?  The following are my ideas for success in a network marketing business, that probably could be applied to any business.

Have Your Own Brand

The first step to succeeding in business is to have your own brand.  If you are Joe, the XYZ distributor, you are promoting the XYZ company.  Create your own brand… perhaps Joe Smith, Network Marketing Coach, or Joe Smith Company; something to differentiate yourself from all the other distributors in your company.

Add Value

If you are just “You can buy from me too”, you are adding no value.  You must add some sort of value.  For instance, a while back we made great looking baskets and sold them as a product.  By reorganizing the product the way we did, we added value to the product.

We Ended Our Retail Operation, Should You?

Entrepreneurship, Network Marketing, News, Sales And Recruiting

We used to be a big huge sellers on Amazon.  Big.  We had a basement warehouse and bought by the pallet fulls.  We used FBA on Amazon… sending in shipment after shipment of product.  In fact, at one time we had more product in the Amazon warehouse than in our own stock.

We also sold direct to consumer, which was a bit of business.  We sold locally by delivery and nationally by mail.

It sounds like we should have been rolling in cash but we were not.  Amazon was tricky because we sold a commodity product that others could also be selling.  Lowest price wins, and many sellers would sell for a loss.  So we took a different tactic, we started selling items that were soon to be discontinued or were already discontinued, buying up a large portion so we could outlast the other sellers.  Sometimes we won, sometimes we lost.  We gave away a lot of product that our buyers did not want.

Why Network Marketing (MLM) Doesn’t Work For You

Network Marketing, Sales And Recruiting

It is seriously irritating.  You see all of these successful people who do really well, often on a weekly basis, and you just cannot seem to sponsor consistently or build any kind of business.  In this article, I am going to give you some suggestions on what you might do differently in order to attract people into your business.  Perhaps some things you have not even considered.

Get a life

At one point, all I was doing is working hard at my business.  And as they say, all work and no play makes Johnny very dull.  Nobody wants to be around you if all you do is talk work.  All you know is work.  All you are is work.

Often the way to break this habit is to play golf, be in the moment at your children’s activities, travel, do something that adds to your subject matter rather than just work.  If you can talk to people about normal, common things, they will relate to you more.

Network Marketing, Technology and Internet

10362286_1420343261571590_1005938937_nWith SplashPlan.com, you can get fresh leads… Exactly what do we mean?

Your SplashPlan site: When you sign up as a member on our SplashPlan.com site, and fill out your profile, you will get a SplashPlan site similar to SplashPlan.com/yoursite.

Promoting your SplashPlan site: We offer you several ways to promote your SplashPlan site for free.  Mainly you add a link to your SplashPlan site on other web sites such as Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and so forth.  Participate on these sites to make your link more powerful.

Leads: A lead, in the case of SplashPlan, means that somebody signs up as a SplashPlan member after they visit your site… You want to provide your lead with quality support for using SplashPlan.  A lead changes to a prospect when they ask for information about your network marketing program.

Prospects ask for information about your network marketing program: Once they become a prospect you can send them information online or by mail, then follow up with them by your chosen method until they ask you to stop or they sign up in your program.

Fresh Leads: Mailing lists tend to be a little stale, but you will get SplashPlan leads at the moment they sign up as a SplashPlan member.  Again, you will want to build trust with leads by providing top quality support for using the SplashPlan site.

Internet Marketing Training: Training included with your SplashPlan membership that shows you ways to promote your SplashPlan site online.

That’s about it… let me know if you have any questions…
