Have you ever thought about how to generate leads from webinars?

Believe it or not, webinars are a great money making opportunity!

It’s just that there aren’t a lot of people using it, so now is the time to take advantage of some free training.

Here’s How You Do It:

**Disclaimer: This method will NOT work if you are doing a mastermind webinar with a group of people. It is too hard to add in your own affiliate links for each individual person. So I do not recommend that you present links unless there is a way to benefit the ENTIRE group (i.e. – a group marketing product that you have created).

(Hint hint…look out for one that we’re putting out in late August or early September).

The methods I’m going to talk about below are only if you’re doing the webinar by yourself.

Also, I prefer to use GoToWebinars for my webinars.  What I describe below is in the GoToWebinar format.

1. Catchy Title

Use something as simple as “System Sista LIVE Q&A -Plus a Bonus “Open Immediately”

Make sure to put the “Bonus” in the message.

If you have other Copywriting skills, feel free to use them here too.

2. Put The Bonus In The Message

When creating the body of your message, make sure to put the link to whatever your free “Bonus” is inside the body.

It could be an e-book, video bootcamp, free coaching session, etc.

Whatever it is, just make sure that it’s valuable and you label it as the “bonus.”

This is the leverage piece you use to get the people to open your message PLUS, you’re giving them something of quality and value for free.

Also, in the signature of the message, this is where you place your first affiliate link that you want someone to visit.

3. “Where To Send Attendees”

If you are sending people to an affiliate link , here is the second spot where you place the affiliate link.

When setting up the webinar, it gives you an option of where to send the people to after you register.

Simply place your affiliate link in here, and after they register for the webinar, they will be redirected to your site.

4. Reminder Messages

When you set up a webinar, you can set reminders for your attendees.

Under the “Change Settings” section that you see after you set-up the webinar:

Select “E-mail notifications” in the drop down menu:

  • Here you can customize the “confirmation email.”
  • You can also send reminder e-mails to registrants and invitee’s.  Make sure that you set up all three to be sent at “1 day” “2 hours” and “1 hours”
  • Then personalize the reminder message to include your affiliate link

5. The Webinar Itself

Since you are actually doing a webinar, a smart idea is to connect the topic of your webinar to your affiliate links.

For example, if you’re doing a webinar about qualifying your prospects make your content about that, then consider putting in your links to “Black Belt Recruiting” from Mike Dillard at the end of the webinar.

Also, then at the very end of the webinar, mention where you learned your skills in how to qualify your prospects and give them your affiliate link to Black Belt Recruiting.

6. “Follow-up messages” To Attendees

In the same drop down section, you can customize the follow up message that is sent to attendees that were on the webinar.

Set your affiliate link inside the message and schedule it to go out 1 hour after the webinar.

7.”Follow-up messages” to No-Shows

You can personalize a message that is sent to the folks that registered, but didn’t attend your webinar.

Again, customize the message to include your affiliate link and have it scheduled to be sent out 1 hour after the end of the webinar.

Make sure to “Save Changes” at the bottom and you’ve now monetized your webinars!

Advice: For the first few webinars that you do, you may want to warm them up to what you’re doing to get them used to seeing your affiliate links, so consider posting your affiliate links in only a few spots.

So there you have it – this is how you monetize and geerate leads from your webinars.

If you have a budget of $0… try Freebinar  its good for up to 125 people!

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

YOUR DOING IT WRONG??

After an awesome  weekend and a little bit of time to catch up on some more training I’ve been meaning to do, today I wanted to get back to some basics of Facebook marketing.

Why are we spending so much time of Facebook marketing?

There are many great Nations in the world.  I’m proud to be an American. However, if Facebook was a nation, it would be the 4th largest nation in the world, with You Tube nt being too far behind.  Many people pay to advertise on Facebook because of its popularity, and its ability to expose your opportunity or service to many!

Facebook Automation

It takes way too much time to manual wrestle with Facebook, and it’s totally not necessary. You can automate 90% of your Facebook efforts with a few simple settings.

1.  Connect Your Blog feed to Your FB Profile

  • Simply go to your FB profile and select the “Notes” tab at the top.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and select “See More Notes”
  • Almost in the middle of the screen you’ll see a blue/grey box called “Notes settings,” and click on the “Import a Blog” link.
  • In the “Web URL” box, enter in your blog feed address, minus the “http://” part.  So in my case it is www.systemsista.com/feed  (If you need your feed address, it’s just your blog web address with “/feed” at the end).
  • A new window will open asking to confirm your blog import, so click the “Confirm Import” button.
  • That’s it!

Importing a blog feed automates your content syndication and will cut down on your time significantly!

Whenever you publish a new post on your blog, Facebook will automatically notify all your friends in your mini-feed. Your current friends will see it and some will respond.

Keep in mind that this will also work with Twitter and YouTube. Simply do a search for their applications on Facebook, follow the instructions, and you’re automated with those as well. Just make sure that you do a search solely for the applications.

2. Connect Your Blog to Your Facebook Fanpage

It is so very important to first, make sure you have a Fanpage (there is no limit to your friends) and then to be sure to connect your blog as well.

3.  Add Facebook Friends Automatically

I’m going to assume that you have a list that you’re building.

If so, all that you need to do is send the members on your list a “let’s be friends” message within 3 days of them opt-ing into your list.  Simply create a “follow-up” message for Day 3 or 4, add it to your message list, and you’re good to go.

The only point of this email should be about how you want to be friends on Facebook.

You can also add your Facebook profile link to your email signature as well as your auto-responder signature.

All you’re saying is “I’m on Facebook and I’m active…come check me out.”

Then BAM!  When they check out your profile, they’re going to be opened up to a whole new world of you!

Friend Adder Bots?

NO!  Plain and simple.

If you are using a friend adder application for Facebook, you will be red-flagged and given a warning – if you’re lucky.

Most people end up getting their user accounts suspended or worse yet, deleted.  Even without warning.

So if you want to play the friend adder bot game, that’s fine.  But don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Am I Your Friend?

If for some reason you haven’t added me as a friend on Facebook, click here to get to my Facebook profile.  Stop by,leave a comment, or just Holla!

I promise I’ll respond!

In order to be successful with any business at all, there are a few things you must consider. To mention them all would be a book. In this brief article we want to discuss the following.
Know you business type, and business model
System in place to generate Leads. Marketing your business
The third is a given, once we understand the top mentioned.

Know your Business Model/Type
There are many business models that we could discuss. Network Marketing is what we have chosen to discuss in this article.  Network Marketing has provide many people with the opportunity to create businesses from home, with residual incomes that compete with those in a typical 40hour job.
However Network Marketing is a numbers game.  The individuals who attract the largest amount of people in the shortest amount of time wins!  Its not a simple as we hear… You tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on!  before you realize it you have 5000 people in your downline… NOT Network Marketing
You must be able to attract a large amount of leads daily, in a short amount of time.
You must be able to cypher thru the Leader  and your Needers
Needers X Work % Income
Leader % Work X  Income
You must have a business opportunity that is in demand
You must Follow Up

Systems
It is really important when your in Network Marketing to be a part of a community of professional Network Marketers.  Programs like My Lead System Pro or  MLM Leads system Pro. These type of programs which include mulitple 7figure earners which have earned their business thru internet marketing, home based businesses.  MLSP supplies its students with step by step video tutorial instruction. It is a filter system which will supply you with multiple ways to attract leads to you and your business. MLSP shows you how to market your Primary opportunity.  MLSP places you in a leadership position, assisting you in Branding yourself and allowing you to make affiliate income by referring others to programs.   Programs which  enhance their business, placing it on autopilot as well!

Faith is POWER
Finally, faith without works is dead!  Its okay to gather information, but being able to place this into action is up to you.  It was once said that the helping hand You need is at the end of your own Sleeve.
However when you are completely dowsed with multiple ways to market your business online, please be sure to stick with just a couple. There are so many marketing strategies marketing groups like MLSP teach, that you will become overwhelmed trying to do them all.  Becoming the Jack of all trades, Master of None… So lets keep it simple, enhance what you are already getting results from, and then begin to learn one strategy at a time!
Always remember that commitment to never quite, and your desire to run your Network Marketing business as a business and not a Hobby is completely up to you!  Commitment is Key!  Whatever you do takes time.  and the time is always NOW..

Yours Truly,

So often we think we need to know everything about our product, service, or have to be the best presenter in our business. Well, the truth of the matter is what we need to know is people. People are the core of your business and the better you know them, the bigger your paycheck will be. The top earners in network marketing that you run into daily understand this concept fully. Understanding personalities inside of network marketing can allow you to be way above your competition by leaps and bounds. Don’t believe me?? Have you ever run into a top earner that wasn’t the best presenter, marketer, or knew everything about their product?? Well if you have I can tell you that 1 thing that they are good at is understanding people… the core of your network marketing business.

Personality types are taught in different ways, by different people. Some people teach animals, colors, seasons, etc. No matter what way you were taught or are learning today, the 1 thing that you want to know that there are 4 main personality types. For this particular blog post, were going to break them down in elements… Fire, Ice,Wind, and Water. Now don’t concern yourself with the words that are describing the personality, focus on the personality type and how to connect with them better. Once you truly understand these personality types, your bank account will end up on steroids, REALLY;)

Your “fire” personality is your type A person. Very decisive, goal oriented, independent, persistent, competitive, goal oriented type of person. They are attracted to leadership, money, lifestyle, challenges, freedom, and material possessions. They can be very impatient, poor listeners, demanding, impulsive, and may speak over you if you are slow to speak. These types of people are true leaders, don’t need a lot of hand holding and they want you to get to the point– right now;) You have to challenge them, play up to their ego’s, let them know what you can do for them, show them the big picture and how they actually fit into that picture. The don’t take orders very well, so give them options, not opinions

Your “ice” personality is your analytical, accurate, detail oriented, orderly, professional business type of person. You can normally tell who they are by looking at them closely. They have calenders which can tell you what there doing 9 months in advance, and are your research oriented type of people. They work very slow because everything has to be perfect. They normally avoid making decisions on the spot because they have to do research by nature. They are motivated by clearly defined taks, stability, security, low risk and task that require precision and planning. You want to give them the facts and leave them alone. Present logical reasons to do the business and avoid any hype whatsoever, that’s a total turn off for them.

Your “wind” personality is your life of the party—- they go with the flow. They are very enthusiastic, optimistic, exciting, outgoing, personal, fun loving, and inspirational people. They can also be very unrealistic, reactive, impulsive, and in most cases very unorganized. Your “wind” personalities are quickly bored by routine and are not motivated by money. They are motivated recognition from others, but most importantly– having fun. Don’t bore them with all the facts, talk about the fun. Don’t bore them with the compensation plan, they don’t care— they want to go to the party after the meeting!! Wind personalities know a lot of people and are true social butterflies. If they have a face book or myspace page you better believe they have a lot of friends… ie– your network!!! They need to be told what to do, but do it in a nice way. Whatever they are doing, it must be fun or they will quit doing it. Reassure them that you will be there for them when they need you and whatever you do, smile and laugh with them all the time!!!

Your “water” personality is your very patient, easy going, stable, empathetic, reliable, supportive type of person. They are motivated by helping others and seeing others succeed. They are very indecisive, and slow to take action so in most cases you have to make a decision for them. They always avoid confrontation and fear change. They are the most loyal members of your team, great listeners, and have a need for quality relationships. They don’t care how much you know, uless, they know how much you care. Show genuine concern about what there needs are. Show them the big picture in relation to helping hundreds and thousands of people and they will be some of your best teammates.

This is a simple re-cap of personality types and obviously there is much more detail on each 1. However, if you use this as a guide point when talking to prospects, you will see a difference in there responses when you know there personality type. REMEMBER, your product is people, so know more about people than you do your product and you will make a lot of money in this wonderful industry called network marketing!!

To YOUR Success,
