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.
