Marketing techniques
Imagine if you have a large base of contacts. People who say regularly read your writings or listen to things you have to say etc. You do your best to influence, cultivate and develop this group of contacts like seeds, many of which will grow.
One way to "drip" your nutritious water on your prospects is through PDF files and other easily transmittable documents that are low cost or free to duplicate and can be distributed on a massive scale.
In my networking business, I will use documents like these ones here to explain my program and if you download these documents, PDF files.... you will see how quick they are to open and review.

So from day one, you begin building your contact base as large as you want and it really doesn't matter what you sell....you sell yourself to your base. Everything else will fall into place!
Brand yourself and your name and you will become successful, but you must work hard as well. That means building your contact base fast and hard. In the beginning, just cold call any reasonable numbers you can and just do it with the mindset of only a set block of time even if its just 30 minutes of actual dialing time, daily!
Don't get me wrong, if you're serious, you want to think in minimums of at least 1-4 hours a day or more. But don't take it in too big of bites, especially in the beginning, because you will find that if you work long on it and don't get immediate results, you can get discouraged, but often times a short, dedicated sprint for the day is a lot more effective.
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN....at the same time, remember, you are planting seeds that may not grow for a few days, weeks or even months. Trees don't grow overnight. They take nurturing environments with just the right kind of stresses and watering, heck plants grow differently based on the music they hear...if you're familiar with that experiment, you know that it is literally true.
So suggest listening to whatever nurtures your motivation level and your desire, your will power. Are you moved by will alone???
Download these simple documents below for some basic samples of the types of documents you could use to promote your business. These are one's I personally use. Remember, you can easily print up documents and change information around to your liking in any way reasonably possible. There's just so many different ways you can use these, as downloads or printable flyers or FAX or just in an email or on a website like this one.
If you really want to get a first hand perspective on how to start a serious business, call me the numbers below and I may be able to put you in touch with a leader and mentor who can help you. We're talking about 6 and 7 figure income earners. My personal business mentor and partner is currently a well documented 7 figure income earner. I would like to open the pathway for anyone who wants to be around successful leadership that can and will help to lift you up in your business and personal development efforts.
Remember, nothing serious changes overnight, plant your seeds today.
Explore the possibilities and keep moving strong, you will succeed.
Meanwhile, please listen to the latest update on my personal message line to fill yourself in on more of the advanced sales and marketing techniques we use.
These documents should give you an idea of how you can promote anything. You can see a lot of good reasons to start this marketing method and join a very successful team in the network marketing industry when you get started.
I just say always make sure you plug into a mentor. A system dependent business is very important if you want it to work without you.
We want to thank you greatly for your readership and we hope to see you back here again. Please feel free to join the website here and leave us your feedback. We like to hear from anyone who has good information to share.

Marketing tips - The key to marketing your business is getting started
What you will have to do to be successful starting from scratch with this business!
Many people start out their network marketing business with little knowledge of what it takes to have success in this industry.
Bottom line, it takes sales transactions. If we dance around this fact, we will never achieve our dreams and goals.
Forget the image of high pressure and simply follow this basic procedure and rules of thumb.
In this business, your biggest asset, other than your own self, will be your phone.
You start your marketing effort with no cost and low cost methods if you are on a minimum budget. When it comes to marketing, you must think in terms of "massive exposure" and realize that overall, most people aren't going to be interested, your job is to just get the information to as many people as possible.
Getting this massive exposure can potentially cost a lot of money. So it is best to become a student of your profession in marketing so that you can learn how to market the most effectively.
In the beginning you are going to want to focus on your most immediately effective means of getting sales production so that you can have the revenue you need to survive as you start your business, so that you can focus. The most effective way to sell your product or service is in person with a direct approach.
The advantage is that, for it's effectiveness, it requires the least amount of preparation to execute. You simply get dressed, meet people, give presentations and do business. However, it can be time consuming and tedious to an extent and overall, will probably get you limited results. Unless you're super powerful in the area of public relations and public speaking, you will find that your presentations will have their limits.
So the idea is to start your business with this method in the very beginning, so that you have this base experience and you increase your chances of getting immediate sales. This would probably include your warm market.
The next level would be your telephone marketing and sales. This is not as effective as being there in person, however, it will often allow you to reach more people, more readily. You can simply pick up the phone and dial.
The next level is response based and there are several ways you can use this.
It includes marketing pieces, print, copy and other exposure that calls the prospect to simply get more information.
This would include marketing tools that allow you to build a permanent database of contacts and potential prospects such as:
To take this a step further, you start building your GENERAL NETWORK. People that listen to and are receptive and/or mindful of what you have to say.
From there you build a BUSINESS NETWORK. This is the portion of your general network that does business with you in some way. These are your business partners.
You constantly cultivate and expand these networks as they will be with you for life and will become your "channel" viewers if that makes sense. This way you can always be there, connected to these people in case they ever have a need for your services. The lowest cost ways to keep in touch with these network members include email, then phone, then fax, then mail, then in person. However the more you commit to each contact, the more meaningful that relationship will be.
At the same time, you only have so much time in a day/week/life. So you then have to make decisions as to who the most powerful and meaningful people in your network are and spend your time with those. The rest, you constantly invite to learn more about how they can improve their lives with your methods, ideas and perspectives.
Remember, the key is to getting started. It's what you do now, that will determine where you'll be tomorrow.

- Actually get started as a business partner. This is the most crucial step. Until you actually get started yourself....absolutely NOTHING is going to happen and that is guaranteed. However, when you do actually get started, NOW you have a chance. Now there is hope, a possibility, a light at the end of the tunnel. Until you buy your ticket, you'll never get on track and that is true with virtually any viable business.
- Start to think like a winner and write down your goals. This will solidify your plans. If you don't make a goalline...you won't know how, where or when to score....if that makes sense.
- Start a personal warm list - It would be senseless to ignore this step. No matter what business you start, you would at the very least let everyone you know about it right? Maybe you might not feel great about approaching your warm market, but is it really so hard if you word it just right?
- Say to people you know or anyone for that matter "Oh yeah, by the way, I just recently started a part time business...and I was just gonna ask (sound skeptical) if you might know anyone who would want a little information about saving or making money?" As if you don't expect them to know anyone, kind of like as if the chances would be slim....such as asking your neighbor if they have a special tool you could borrow and you hate to ask, you're sorry to bother, but "I don't suppose you have a shovel I could borrow by any chance could you?" - "I don't suppose you would care to save money on X services by chance would you?....I was just gonna ask if you'd want some free information?"
In this business, your biggest asset, other than your own self, will be your phone.

- Free and low cost, curiosity building, online and offline classified ads with text and/or images
- Online or offline video presentation tools
- Opt in forms of all kinds including promotions such as contest, free information and such
- Posters and indoor and/or outdoor stands/displays, manned or unmanned offering free information about your product or service
- Free and paid online and offline press releases/social bookmarks/networks

The first two weeks in business
Remember, when starting any new business, it is critical that we do not waste any time. What we need to do are identify and solidify our goals.
And our goals need to be extreme. We need to be the exception. We need to go beyond all limits, because we only get one chance.
You need to sit down and think hard with a real plan of action that focuses on one thing...getting to your first promotion level.
So be sure to compile and contact your list of prospects immediately. Be sure to remain open about your business. Never burn any bridges, however always be offering some FREE INFORMATION! People will want the information!
Take it a level beyond the norm. Be exceptional and keep your blinders on, steering absolutely clear of anything negative.
Get your first transaction and you'll be on your way to freedom.
