Mike Dillard change the MLM business when he released Magnetic Sponsoring,which introduced the concept of attraction marketing.
Now he is updating his formula to reflect the explosion in social media and web 2.0.
He has released a 36 minute video which you can get access to here .It sets out his formula for creating an online business that is owned by YOU not your MLM company.
With an MLM business you really own nothing as the product and how it is marketed is owned by the company.
MLM companies can go out of business,or they can kick you out if you do something they don’t like.
You need a strategy that will create a list of subscribers who have a relationship with you not your company and that you can market to.
Mike sets out how this is achieved so go grab his free video now

To alot of people this would mean as much money as they wanted,so that could buy whatever they wanted and have the best experiences too.But have you ever seen that statistic where 95% of people who win the lottery are broke again within five years.
You see people might say they want to be rich but underneath they don’t.
What they want is the comfort and safety which is why they are content to stay in cubicle land where they are told what to do,when to do it and how much they will be paid to do it.
This safety will be lacking when you start a work form home job.Can you discipline yourself to do what needs to be done,cut out the distractions and just keep going?
Some may define success by how many people like them which often goes hand in hand with the safety model.If you do what you are told to do how could anyone dislike you?
Or is success to you defined by failure.You knew it wouldn’t work and hey you were right.
You need to see where you are in all this because if yout mindset is against you no business guru is going to save you.
AND you must see what success is for people who are going to join your team,because if they are any of the above they will not help your grow your business.
Ask the right questions of yourself and others and you will have the right mindset and so will your team.
When starting out in internet marketing,you are bombarded with gurus from all angles telling you what you should be doing.making videos,posting blogs,posting on forums,writing ezine articles.Where do you start?
Having gone through this process myself,the important thing is to focus on just a few key areas and not try to spread yourself too thinly.Right now social media is very hot so get your profile up on Twitter,facebook,Myspace and YouTube.
The second thing to make sure of is have a set time each day when you will work on your business,no more than 90 minutes at a time without distractions.In particular resist the urge to check your email constantly.Do it twice a day and not before 12 noon.
In between these 90 bursts do something kinesthetic such as going for a run or walk,anything that get you moving.
Do meditation as least twice a day,just for 10 minutes each if you are starting out,it will clear your mind.
Ensure all that you do has the end of putting valuable content out there.This will make you a person of INFLUENCE and people will be attracted to you.
If you are just starting out in a home based business,you may think you don’t know very much.It seems everyone else knows more than you,so what contribution do you have to make?
This period is very important for you so don’t be in a rush to get past it.Because the thing you will develop at this stage is the will to NEVER GIVE UP
There is a story about Winston Churchill who gave an address to the boys of Harrow school in 1941.The myth is that he got up and said these words:
“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never–in nothing, great or small, large or petty–never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
After that he just sat down.The truth is he said quite a bit more,put you get the point.
Many businesses fail in their first 12 months.Don’t let yours be one of them.This is probably the hardest part of the whole business cycle,getting airborne,getting altitude.
This is the time to learn to soak up as much information as you can from those that have gone before you.
Keep focused on your long term goals AND the next action step that is in from of you.Head in the clouds and feet on the ground as they say.
Perhaps you know that Thomas Eddison invented many things still in use today.But his success was built on failure.He invented so many things that just did not work.
But rather than give up he used his failure to generate more success.If you are not failing then you are not trying hard enough.
So never give in.Another Churchill quote ” if you are going through hell keep going”.
The light on the other side will be that much brighter.
This is the second video I have made on Facebook.Here I talk about how to make friends.You can use your own email list or make friends with people recommended to you by Facebook.Here is the video tell me what you think:
Facebook is one of the four social media sites you need to build a presence on,if you are to reach out to your audience.Facebook differs from Twitter in that if you want to follow someone,they must approve you first.With Twitter you can follow anyone without their approval.
Nonetheless,Facebook allows you to tell the world more about yourself,so that people get to know you alot better than they do on Twitter.I am doing a series of videos on Facebook explaining how to use it and how it all works.The first is shown below.
I made this video ,the third of a series I am making about our relationship with money
We need to understand the freedom that money can provide,and not become attached to it.
We need to ensure that we have integrity withe money and not allow corruption to take us over,even little petty corruptions like taking stationary from our employer.For from this grows corruption which can eventually take over a whole culture.
Finally we must show gratitude for all that we receive ,yes even for things we paid for. Think about the people involved in getting food into the supermarket for us to buy.So much was done for us but do we ever bother to give thanks.
Here is a video I did looking at Mike Dillard’s Black Belt Recruiting.This is a book and 6 cd set in which Mike talks to the man who signed him up to one of his first opportunities, Mark Wieser.There are great tools out there to generate leads but they all must eventually be converted into distributors or at least customers.
Mike and Mark take through most of the common objections heard when talking to prospects and how to deal with them,like “how much money do you make?” or “mlm is a pyramid scheme”.
In essence you need to start thinking of your conversations with a prospects as a job interview, with you asking all the questions.Don’t be needy and think ” I must get this person in my business”.As Mike says ” he who cares the least wins”.
If you want to get some free videos from Mike first go here,they are great in themselves.
Anyway here is the video
Here is a video I did on Mike’s product Building on a Budget which is great if you are needing to generate leads but money is tight. There are lots of free resources you can tap into such as Ezine articles which you can submit at Ezine.Com or press releases through 27-7Pressrelease.com.
Google Adwords is something you should stay away from at this stage because it can eat up your monthly budget in days if you don’t know what you’e doing.
Anyway here is the video,let me know what you think.
Check out my latest video on how our beliefs around money can have an effect on our ability to get a home based business going.If you’ve always worked as an employee,ie making someone else rich, the change to self employment will mean radical change in all aspects of your life.
So it is well to look at your beliefs around money,the ones you picked up from childhood and see if they still shape your behaviour today.
My own view is that money is just a vehicle for personal growth for you will be leaving all your wealth behind you when you die,but the person that you have become that is what people will remember.
