If you have a network marketing based business, how do you make yourself stand out amongst the crowd? After all, not only are you competing against other businesses, often times you are competing with others selling the same exact thing as you are.
Here’s the answer:
You set yourself apart through branding.
Branding means developing a personal brand that makes you unique and easily recognizable. Branding can include an elaborate marketing plan filled with designer logos and press releases, or it can take on a simple flair, implemented with ease and effectiveness.
Since I’ve never been one to just throw money at a problem, I’ll just take the simple approach. Here are some things you can do to set your brand:
Be consistent. If you make additions to your website, do it in a predictable fashion. For example always add your new material on a Tuesday morning. If you send emails or a newsletter to your down line, always do it at the same time.
Get your face out there. People don’t want to buy from a computer, they want to buy from a person. Use gravatars that have your real picture. Do you have an “about” page on your site? If so you had better get a picture up – a lot of visitors to your site land there through an about page. In no other business model is this more important than with MLM.
Use an email signature. Use a signature set up that is uniquely you and announces what you do and what web sites you own.
Us econsistent colors and fonts within any correspondence. Make it match your web site’s look and feel.
This article barely scratches the surface of branding. A good, definable brand is crucial to your success. It’s well worth the effort to do a little research and learn as much as you can about branding.

Is EmergNet Legal?
To be honest, I have no idea as the company is still very new and has hardly shed their bubble wrap. What did put my warning antenna up was the following article. http://indianmlmblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/author-anand-naidu-is-not-and-never-was.html
If you scroll down to the comment section it is indicative that these operators have in fact started above company which leaves us very careful indeed.
Warning: I do not and never will by any means endorse EmergNet as a legal company. I have personally no idea about the legality or affiliation with EmergNet and caution you to do your own research before you part with any money.
All information in this article is based on the EmergNet website and cannot be verified for accuracy.
If you have first hand experience with this company is urge you to leave feedback in the comment section.

How Social Are You?
January 18, 2009 | By Monika Mundell | No Comments »
There has never been a better time to be involved with a network marketing based business. Can you imagine how difficult it was to get ahead before the days of the internet and email? It should make you appreciate how nice we have it these days.
The last few years have seen advances in communication tools like we’ve never seen before. If you spend any time at all on line, you’ve heard expressions such as “Social Media” and
“Web 2.0”. What we’re talking about are social networks and the potential of these networks is nothing short of astounding for someone involved in an MLM business.
Let’s take a look at a few of them:
Twitter – This is the quick but robust Jack-Rabbit of social media circles. Folks follow one another and build a network of followers. Communication is done through “tweets” – essentially 140 character or less instant messages. It is very easy to build a community and the effects are amazing. You can group with like minded folks and expand in whatever direction you would like. The potential for business growth and exposure is unlimited.
Facebook – If you are not on Facebook, you need to get there and get there today. You have the ability to connect with many people very quickly. You can also start a group, invite your down line to participate and really become a force to be reckoned with.
LinkedIn – A bit more formal arrangement than Facebook, but still effective. The potential is still there to do great things, it’s just a slower build.
The only thing that jumping into these is going to cost you is a little of your time. They are all free to join and with all three you can be up and running in minutes. From there you are only limited by how much work you are willing to put into the media.

Why You Need An Autoresponder Service For Lead Generation
January 18, 2009 | By Monika Mundell | No Comments »
Lead generation is the process of advertising your network marketing business with the help of your voice, Internet, advertising or word of mouth. Each and everyone of these options will generate interested leads who visit your site to find out more about your opportunity.
The problem with most established network marketing companies is the fact that they supply you with a lead generation site, what they fail to tell you though is that thousands of others get exactly the same template making it virtually impossible to rank well and or stand apart from your competitors.
Perhaps your company told you it didn’t matter to have competition. I tend to disagree though. In many circumstances I agree that competition is actually great for business, but when it comes to mlm it makes your life a lot harder if there are already dozens of distributors in your area.
Trying to compete with Tom, Dick & Harry will cost you a lot more than if you were the first person in your area to offer your opportunity.
The essentiality of an autoresponder service
Autoresponders are a must if you want to move your business ways beyond the common ground. Instead of using your company lead generation site set up a lead capture page and attract new leads by giving them a valuable free report in return for their email address and name.
Doing this is worth gold to you since you can then market to these people long after you left your current network marketing company.
As it happens most people chop and change several times before they ever get successful (if all).
You can choose from a wide range of autoresponder services. I found the best of them all to be:
Aweber
1ShoppingCart
If you don’t need a shopping cart I suggest you stick with the first one of those choices. If money is short you do have the option to choose a free service but be warned that they will bombard either you or your leads with annoying advertising in their emails.
Not exactly professional - don’t you think?
Out of the free choices I found FreeAutoBot to be the most appealing. I also found SendFree but have no personal experience with their service.
Choose business freedom with an autoresponder
By using an autoresponder you will operate your business without being bound to small print when you leave a company. As long as you stick to their TOS with your lead generation site you can do whatever you want with the leads you garner. Plus, by using a proper service like Aweber you will never be caught in a spam court case since all leads are collected by double opt-in methods.

Why I Like Mike Dillard
January 17, 2009 | By Monika Mundell | No Comments »
Mike Dillard has made waves when he came out with his Magnetic Sponsoring concept a couple of years ago. Up until then I was brainwashed like so many others by the network marketing industry. I believed everything I was told and in hindsight I was VERY blue-eyed indeed.
Little did I know that a book (or shall I say folder) would change my perception of the industry so much. Not only that, since then I have actually repaid my initial expense for the product with the help of affiliate sales. Not bad for no effort at all.
I guess what grabbed me most about Mike was the fact that he is down to earth, human (hard to believe with the level of success he has achieved) and most of all his incredible rags to riches story.
Achieving such levels of success like Dillard did is not a thing we hear that often and I guess I was inspired that not only was there a guy who managed to do just that, but also giving me hope to continue on.
I did just that but from the moment I read Mike Dillards book I looked at marketing in a whole new way, until this day I continue to question the obvious and look beyond what is told to the masses.
Best of all, Mike’s concepts can be applied to many other business models giving the buyer a great understanding of the human mind and how they operate when it comes to buying things. If you struggle in your current network marketing business you might want to give Mike’s Magnetic Sponsoring or his MLM A-Bomb a good workout.
Perhaps the biggest questions new students to Magnetic Sponsoring have is what it actually teaches. The following is a small excerpt from the website:
In contrast to “old school” prospecting methods taught by most leaders and network marketing companies, Magnetic Sponsoring is a totally new approach to building a thriving network marketing business based on age-old timeless wisdom. Success in network marketing this day and age requires a different set of skills, and more importantly, a different mindset than it has in the past. Magnetic Sponsoring reveals not only the mindset, but arms network marketers with the knowledge and tools needed to build a successful business using the internet.
