This is a heartfelt post. I’m not putting any tags on it for Google’s little robots to crawl. I’m not blasting it all over the world for people to read. It will only end up on Facebook and Twitter because I have plugins on my Wordpress blog that allow it to be spread that way.

Look. I’m a real person. I’m not some slick marketer. Do I know how to market? Sure I do. But there’s something about marketing that makes me a little sick. I don’t want to try and twist your arm and twist your mind to make you do something that is going to make me money. I get a sick feeling in my stomach just thinking about it.

Do I have a marketing system that works for my network marketing business? YES

Do I work with some of the best marketers on the planet in the online and offline world? YES

Do I believe in what I’m doing? YES

But I like to just be real with people. There are too many people struggling in this business and it makes me upset. All you have to do is follow a system that someone else laid out for you. You don’t have to create the system. And if you’re smart you won’t deviate from the system and try to do your own thing.

Network marketing has been around for 125 years and it’s not going anywhere. There are more people getting involved now than ever before. You know why? Because all you have to do is follow a system. You don’t have to chase friends and family. You don’t have to make phone calls. Hell, you don’t even have to market on the internet. It’s all about how it works for YOU.

But combining the power of offline marketing with online marketing is the absolute best way to go. Why? Because it’s not just about high-tech. It’s about high-touch.

If I can connect with you on Facebook, join your group (or you join mine when I finally get around to making one), tweet back and forth with you, make tutorial videos, and make personal videos with me talking to YOU and THEN I FINALLY meet you at a live event or talk to you on the phone aren’t you that much more ready to talk to me?

Think about it. I’ve touched you all over the internet. You’re reading what I write, hearing my voice, and seeing me on videos on a regular basis. When I call you, you might even be shocked. But this is how the game is meant to be played. This is a relationship business. It always has been and it always will be.

If you think you can get away with not talking to people on the phone you’re out of your mind. Or you may just have enough money to hire a call center to do the work for you. And if that’s the case this doesn’t apply to you. And just to be clear that’s something we should all strive to do because it makes us look more professional and it’s also a great form of leverage. Some marketing systems already have that built-in.

But anyway, I don’t do what I do to be slick. I’m not trying to sell you a product or an opportunity. All I want to do is get to know you. We can just talk on Facebook. If you want to learn how to do something and I know how to do it, I’ll show you. If I don’t, I’ll show you someone who can. That’s how this thing works. I’m not trying to ‘draw you in’. I could care less if you join me or not. You know why? Because the right people will ask me the right questions and they will do whatever it takes to get closer to me to learn what I’m doing. And those are the people that I want to work with.

To your success,

How To Get FREE Network Marketing Leads

Hey guys…Allen here,

It seems like everyone wants to know how to get free network marketing leads. Well, let me ask you something? Do you know how to use social media PROPERLY. Maybe and maybe not. I’m going to give you some social media tips that you can use right away to start getting free network marketing leads.

But before we get into that, the first thing I want to discuss is the most profitable and useful social networking site that there is. You all know it and love it: FACEBOOK.

Facebook is fully interactive and it’s my favorite social platform. Let me tell you why.

On Facebook, you can create your own group, your own fan page, and of course your own profile. But I think some people miss how important the groups are.

I just learned something and I’m starting to use it today. I’m going into as many MLM groups on Facebook as I can and I’m sending about 30 friend requests per day. I haven’t even done it today yet because I’m sharing it with you. But when I friend these people it’s not about me just trying to add them to my friends list to pump my numbers. When I add these people as friends, I’m trying to find out what it is that they need and when I find out, I’ll go learn about it and share it.

That’s how you create friends and get free network marketing leads. It seems like we are always between MLM opportunities. Some of us hate our MLM companies and some of us don’t hate them yet but will pretty soon. It’s important to align yourself with someone who is on the cutting edge of all this stuff and can lead you in the direction that you want to go.

If you’re my Facebook friend and you are a part of the same groups that I’m a part of and you see me providing value in the groups and on my blog and at Better Networker with videos, articles, and cool and informative responses you are very likely to want to connect with me on a more personal level involving your MLM business.

And if that’s the case, you just became a FREE network marketing lead for me.

Notice, I didn’t pay any money for PPC. I didn’t twist your arm and make you be friends with me. All I did was provide consistent and honest value and show you how to do some things that you don’t know how to do. And because I was friendly and informative you decided that you wanted to get closer to ME.

You can go out and do the same thing. There are thousands of people entering the marketplace every single day and there isn’t a marketer on the planet who can touch every single one of them. That’s your opportunity. THIS is your opportunity. Take today and get better. Start a blog. Get yourself a marketing system. And make some friends.

Okay, that’s enough for today. I’m off to Facebook to do exactly what I just told you to do in this post.

To your success,

Somebody Had To Say Something

I’m probably going to make a few people upset with this blog post and I’m fully prepared for the backlash. But I just read something from Diane Hochman that blew me away and I just had to share it.

There’s been a lot of hype going around about the Bimmer giveaway for MLSP. If you have no idea what I’m talking about then you’re probably a little bit out of the loop on this particular topic. No prob, let me bring you up to speed.

There’s been an announcement for MLM Lead System PRO (also known as MLSP) members. The company is giving away a Bimmer to the people who get the most signups for the program. It’s a 90 day promotion and everybody is gearing up to make a huge push.

There’s nothing wrong with a promotion. There’s nothing wrong with a contest. Nothing gets the juices going more than a little competition. But I think there’s a fine line between a friendly competition and an all-out war. We’ll see what happens in the end.

I’m a little bit concerned with how we’re playing this game. There’s no doubt that MLSP is one of the best programs to use the internet to leverage your MLM business. There are hundreds if not thousands of people that make their living with MLSP. I’m not there yet but I’m well on my way (mostly because of the connections I’ve made).

But we have to remember that this whole thing, this whole game has to do with people’s lives. We’ should not just be pushing products and services like salespeople. We are mentors, business builders, and leaders and there’s a tremendous responsibility that comes along with that.

MLSP is great. I like it. No scratch that. I love it. But I’m not going to bend over backwards to try to win a car. There are people out there that need my help that don’t even know me yet. You might even be reading this post.

This post was supposed to be about what Diane had to say. But I just had to say something.

If you like what I’m talking about here, then you’ll love what Diane had to say. ===> Go check it out.

P.S.   The discussion doesn’t end here. ===> See what other people are saying.

This is an excellent question. As marketers and leaders we all go through what I like to call a ‘growth curve’. In order for us to become top-notch marketers and leaders we often have to do some growing. But as we all know, with growth comes pain. But when we get through it we’re much better for it.

But what’s the difference between lying and posture. Well, for one thing posturing is a way of acting in a manner that you personally believe that leaders act. So if you’re not a leader just yet but you’re on your way chances are that you feel like you need to posture in order to become one.

You’ll often walk different or talk different and your friends may start to ask, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ That’s posturing. When you’re in front of a prospect and you feel like you have to convince them, that’s posturing. When you don’t fully believe in yourself or your opportunity because you haven’t had any success yet, that’s posturing.

There’s a serious discussion going on about this on my favorite network. ===> Go check it out.

Are You Duplicating Your Success?

You know, there’s a rather large stigma when it comes to duplication in MLM. A lot of people believe in the idea of motivation. It’s very difficult to motivate someone who doesn’t want to be motivated. Some people are just looking to stay negative. That’s okay. We’re not paying them any attention anyway.

But for the people stuck in the middle who want to be motivated but need a little more than a pep talk, you have to do something a little different. And although it seems really obvious, some never get around to it.

In order to duplicate you must demonstrate.

That sounds like something that Jesse Jackson would say. ;)

But honestly, people really need to see success. And once they see it, the only way to make it real for them is to literally take them by the hand and demonstrate how to duplicate that success for themselves.

It’s really not all that difficult. I took the time to answer a question from a friend of mine today and gave him some great advice. I laid out a blueprint and if he follows it, he’ll be well on his way.

Go check out what I told him.

The Best Thing I’ve Read All Day

Kevin DaSilva just gave away a massive amount of information on how to grow your business by leaps and bounds. And he didn’t ask anyone to pay for it. He gave it all away in a forum post to someone who asked how they could build a list really fast.

Ladies and gentleman, this business can be built quickly. I’ve seen it done on several occasions. If you truly decide you want to swarm the internet and be social at the same time you can certainly build yourself a massive business in a short amount of time.

I don’t know Kevin just yet. I connected with him on Better Networker today. But I did find his BN profile.

If you want to know the steps to build a massive online business and do it for FREE. Go see what Kevin had to say.

A good friend of mine named Malika Duke put together a fantastic video about creating forum signatures. At the beginning of my career I was really gun-shy about posting to forums because I didn’t really know what I was talking about. I’m sure if you’re reading this post, you are either in that position now or you know exactly what I’m talking about because you were once there yourself.

At any rate, when you do start posting it’s really important to add a signature to the end of your forum posts. That way, someone has the chance to come back to your blog to learn more about you. Especially if you write really good forum posts and replies.

Malika gives away some solid-gold strategies at the end of the video. Great insight from a great marketer. Go check it out ==> Watch Malika’s VIDEO

Best. Reply. Ever

I was browsing around on Better Networker today and found a smoking hot post in the forums. Somebody actually had the nerve to disagree with Attraction Marketing. Anyone that knows me well knows that I believe wholeheartedly in attraction marketing. I mean seriously, how can you call yourself a business owner if you don’t believe that the way you are as a person will come across in how you market to your customers and attract similar people and in some ways the exact same type of people? (I know that’s a run-on sentence but I had a good groove going) ;-)

But yea, I mean come on. There’s just no way. If you don’t know what attraction marketing is you can learn about it here. But in essence, the kind of person I am has attracted you to read this post in the first place. We are obviously somewhat alike otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this, right?

Okay enough of my ranting. Go check it out. –> BEST. REPLY. EVER

I’m An ABN Networker

So what’s all this business about being an ‘ABN’ Networker? Well, for one thing it means that those involved take their businesses very seriously. Better Networker is by far the best place for MLMers and network marketers to hang out. You can learn stuff. Chat with like-minded people. Get inspired. Get your questions answered. Get a dose of reality. And everything in between.

When I first got started with network marketing I stumbled upon it when I was looking for real answers about capture pages, autoresponders, leads, and everything else related to internet network marketing. I was lost, dazed, confused, and put off all at once. But when I got there and set up my profile and spoke to people about my struggles it was like a breath of fresh air. And I’m eternally grateful to everyone there for helping me to get off my butt and start kicking some.

Well, just recently — Wednesday to be exact — Mike Dillard decided that it was time to separate the spammers and wannabe quick-buck makers from the serious contributors to the forum. So he issued a challenge of sorts. He said that those who decided to join ABN would be richly rewarded with a small banner in the upper right hand corner of their profile pictures, unlimited instructor content, and a real source of branding for the true network marketers. This isn’t to say that those not involved with ABN are bad people. It’s just that they’re missing the boat.

Better Networker gets more traffic than any other network marketing forum on the planet. It was created by the top intnernet network marketers in the world. And aligning yourself with those types of people can reward you in much more than riches. It’s really all about relationships. And, I’m glad I’m a member.

When people who don’t know me come to the forum and see my profile and see that I’m with ABN it positions me head and shoulders above those who are not members. Think about this for a second. Would you rather be trained by and work closely with someone who is actively involved in continuing their education or someone who is just trying to push you into some program so they can make money off you and not really help you?

Uhm. That’s a no-brainer. So if you’re already involved in network marketing or are looking to get involved. It’s best that you check out Better Networker and look for people with the ABN logo on their profile pictures.

And just so you know. The reason this is so important is because there’s a code of conduct which forces those involved to abide by internet network marketing rules and regulations. There’s a zero spam policy. And the public is not to be abused in any way whatsoever by members of this elite group.

Lastly, those involved — myself included — can and will be rated by the public. So it’s in our best interest to do what’s right by people. Otherwise, the viral nature of the internet will bury our businesses.

So, I think I’ve driven the point home pretty well. The rest is up to you.

To your success,
