It was bound to happen. We've "enthused" our way out of another key networking source.
You can't reach out to too many strangers on Facebook anymore, even if you have network marketing in common. We've successfully spammed our links all over to the point where we're no longer welcome.
Same thing happened on MySpace several years ago. Used to be, if you wanted a list of females in network marketing in the United States between the ages of 35 and 54, MySpace would give you that list in seconds, for free.
But network marketers used MySpace en masse to blanket the site with links to the latest greatest.
And then, over time, we lost more and more access to MySpace.
Same thing has happened to Facebook. It's almost impossible now to build a substantial friends list. Why can't we just knock it off? Why won't we see?
Well, at least we still have Twitter. For now.

Who Are The Best People To Talk To About Your MLM?
Do you ever get frustrated at how long it takes to explain your MLM business to a newbie?
You have to give them the brochure, some samples, send them to your website, invite them to a meeting (and hope they show up), put them on 3-way calls, etc.---
And after all that, they fail anyway.
Is it just me, or is that disappointing?
We spend so much time talking to a newbie that there's no time left for them to do anything.
If you're talking to people that don't already know MLM, you have to give 'WAY too much information: .

Easiest Way To Introduce Your MLM Business
You have a GREAT opportunity to share, that will make people happy and make them money at the same time.
The trouble is, most of them will never know it, because they reject you and close their minds before you can open your mouth. And that costs BOTH of you.
But it's not your fault, and even better, there's something you can do about it.
See, the reason they reject you is that they don't know what they don't know.
Because if they knew, like you, they'd join right away, wouldn't they? They couldn't wait to join.
So let's just get on the same page... so they can see what you see. Wouldn't that be great?
We'll make it real simple. (There's lots of psychological reasons why this works, and if you really want to know, I'll tell you. But for right now, I'll just show you how it works, OK?)
OK. Here's what you say to someone... and it works just like this almost EVERY TIME:
YOU: “Wow, this economy sure is tough.”
THEM: “You can say that again.”
YOU: “And it'll probably get worse before it gets better.”
THEM: “But what are we gonna do?”
YOU: “Well, if I wasn't doing what I'm doing, I don't know WHAT I'd do.”
THEM: “What are you doing?”
Try this, and you'll see that it works almost every time.
It probably won't go word for word, but it'll be pretty close. And what's most important is IT'LL WORK.
And the reason it works is that you just made several automatic psychological connections in that little conversation.
ALL of the masters of communication know this, and so do those of us who are good at getting people to do what we want them to do.
So if you want to get people to look at your opportunity, and make an informed decision on whether or not they want to join, then just simply have this little conversation with them FIRST.
Then, when they (very naturally) ask you what you're doing, you can (very naturally) show them your THIRD PARTY TOOL, which will do the explaining for you.

How To Use Free MLM Recruiting Tools
Most people make the mistake of showing or explaining their opportunity, which is one of the least effective things you can ever do... because most people can't do it, it won't duplicate, and it'll cause you to fail. So the less explaining and demonstrating you do, the better.
Instead, you MUST have effective, “third-party” tools to do the explaining and demonstrating for you.
Most companies know this, so they provide them when you sign up.
You may have a website, a DVD, or some visual and automatic tool that does the demonstration and explanation FOR you. And it's important that it be visual, because, as they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words.
So a DVD or a website with a video works a lot better than, say, a conference call, or a three-way call with your upline (which people HATE, by the way).
And the shorter the presentation is, the better. It should be just as long as it has to be to get the point across. Music, slick production values, and long videos just compete for people's already short attention spans. Most people will quit watching long, flashy videos 'way before the point gets across. So the presentation should be just as long as it needs to be... and no longer.
And the reason why a visual and automatic tool works is that it's easy to duplicate, because everybody can use it. Just press “play”.
So if you know the secret to having that initial conversation with somebody, where I showed you how to get them to ask you what you're doing, the next step is to say,
“Check THIS out”.

How To Use Facebook As A Free MLM Recruiting Source
Facebook is a great place to find prospects for your business. And it's free.
But most people don't know that you can lose your Facebook account and all your friends if you don't use it right.
I talk to people every day that are setting off the Facebook alarm, and they don't even realize they're doing it. And the danger is that if you're doing it, you can get your account shut down and lose all your contacts, even if you didn't mean to. And here's the reason:
You are allowed to meet people on Facebook.
And you are allowed to market to them if you buy an ad or have their permission. (Now Mark Zuckerberg would rather you buy an ad, because he makes money when you do that.) But getting people's permission to market to them is easier and cheaper to get, if you know how, because that's what I do. I NEVER send people anything about my MLM business, ever... not even the name... until they ask me and they're almost ready to join.
Because what you MUST NOT do on Facebook is use it as a free advertising source, posting your links everywhere, or inviting people to opportunity groups or events, and emailing people about your business when they didn't ask about it. So if people know what MLM you're in, and they didn't ask you and they're not ready to join... you're talking too much! Because that's the OLD way of doing MLM, and it does not work anymore!
Don't even put a link to your business in your profile, even though you can. Instead, do a Google search on yourself, and put a link to that in your profile, because that tells people more about you and works much, much better than a link to your company or your blog or whatever.
Think about it this way:
Advertising does not work for MLM companies. Because if it did, the companies would just do it, and they wouldn't need us. But why do they need us? Well, it's because we have relationships and connections to people, so we can show and explain the products in a way that advertising can't do. But we must have that relationship first, in order to do that. So Facebook is, first of all, a way to build relationships, not sell products.
So if you didn't sponsor anyone into your business last week, or last month, no matter what you said or did to people on Facebook and everywhere else, that is the reason--- too much selling, not enough relationships.
So, let's wrap this up. There are two kinds of people running around on Facebook:
1) Those who run through there like Jerry Lewis with a scalpel, until they get blocked or can't add any more friends, and then lose their account and they don't know why. And on top of that, they never sponsor anyone.
2) But there are a few of us who quietly add people to our business all the time, behind the scenes, and under the Facebook radar, with no rejection or embarrassment from anybody. This is the new way do MLM, and this works much better today than the old ways. So please forget about the “numbers game”, and “putting your business out there” or anything like that.
I know you're on a limited budget, and I know you're just trying to share this great thing you're in. And Facebook is the perfect place to do that, because there are so many people there, and it doesn't cost you anything.
But if people know what MLM business you're in, but they didn't ask you... they are rejecting you, even if you don't feel rejected at the time. Because even though you're not around to see, or hear, or feel that rejection, it's happening anyway, with just a few clicks of a mouse.
So if you can't add any more people, even though you're under your limit of 5,000 friends, it's because you've set off the Facebook alarm, or it could be that people have reported you (And to report you, all they have to do is click next to whatever you've posted. There's also a link in the bottom left-hand corner of your profile. They can click there and report you or block you, and GIVE A REASON.).
So if you want to market yourself on Facebook the easy way, and NOT get busted, just get out of that "numbers game, got to put it out there" mentality. People don't want to be your "sales object". They want you to show them some feelings and respect, and treat them like a real person.
It'll take longer to do that, but it'll be much easier for you, and in the long run, you'll sponsor more people.

How To Get Your First MLM Signup In 24 Hours Or Less
...And I'm not counting "yourself".
I mean a real, new, living, breathing, paying CUSTOMER. So next week (or next month, whenever your company pays)... you can say:
"LOOK, HONEY. MY FIRST COMMISSION CHECK!"
Here's how to do it, step by step---

I mean a real, new, living, breathing, paying CUSTOMER. So next week (or next month, whenever your company pays)... you can say:
"LOOK, HONEY. MY FIRST COMMISSION CHECK!"
Here's how to do it, step by step---
- Think of somone who OWES you. They can owe you money, or just a favor--- either way, heres a chance to COLLECT.
- (Key point) It must be somebody who HAS MONEY. At least enough to make the purchase you want them to.
- (Other key point) They must have their own address. It cannot be somebody who already lives with you. Because that's just a cop-out.
- Whatever you offer them must be something they already spend money on. (Doesn't matter what it is.)
- You must have it available at a LOWER PRICE.
- So ask them, "Hey, will you do me a favor?"
- (They owe you. So they'll say "Yes", or at least "What?")
- If they say "no", say, "Remember, YOU OWE ME."
- If they're a decent human being, they'll be EAGER to help you. So now it's time for you to make that easy.
- Say, "It's not gonna cost you anything. It'll probably SAVE you some money."
- (No way they can say no to this. Their mind is now open, and their guard is now down. Now you can basically just "close" the sale.)
- Say, "You know that (whatever you're selling) that you're paying for all the time? I just went into the (name of product) business. So if you'll just go to my website and buy it from me, you can save some money and I'll make a commission. Would you mind?"
- Most likely, they won't mind. Especially if you're saving them money!
