Increase YOUR Sponsoring Ability
Are you good at getting people to look at your programs? When I
first started Internet Marketing, I couldn't sponsor ANYONE!!!
The harder I tried, the more I failed...Sound familiar?
Now, I've discovered the "secret" to success. It is not unusual
for me to have 20 or more referrals in ANY program that I
promote...How did I do it? Here are some facts...
Opt-in Groups DO Work If you Follow the rules.
Most importantly, remember that the other members of the opt-in
groups are real people...They do NOT want hype, they want facts,
just like you do. These are some basic rules to follow to gain
their respect...Remember, if you lose their respect, you will
never get them back.
1. KNOW your product
Don't promote anything unless you truly believe. Study the
program, know the details of it. Be ready to answer
questions...If you don't have the answer ready, someone else
might, and you will lose the referral. If you don't know the
answer, be honest. Don't mislead people.
2. Do NOT Use Bounce Back Messages
I know that there are many places on the internet which advise
you to do so, but honestly...I will never read an autoresponder
message, unless it's one that I requested. Plus, if I recognize
the name of a person who uses one, I will not join their
programs...There are many people promoting, so we CAN pick and
choose. Don't fall into what I consider to be a form of spam.
3. Do NOT respond to an ad unless you truly have a question, or
comment which might be useful to the sender.
Receiving an opt-in ad does not give you the right to send that
person an ad in return. Again, I do not like this form of
advertising, and most other people don't either. BUT..if you
TRULY have something to say...a question or comment about their
program, or another program which goes hand in hand, introduce
yourself, make a new contact, even a friend.
4. Do not use phony headlines
It's okay to try different titles to your ads, but always make
sure that the content of the ad applies to the subject. There's
nothing worse than opening an ad on advertising and finding some
hype on a new program. Don't trick someone into opening your ad,
they will never believe you again.
5. Always respond to those in need...
If you see an email titles "Help!"...read it and respond in any
way you can...We, as Internet Marketers, should be there for
each other... I have received help in this way. BUT...reserve it
for true need situations The same goes with "unsubscribe"
subjects...Write to them to let them know exactly how to
unsubscribe from the list in question...Don't let any person in
need go unnoticed...One day, you might be that person...
Build Lasting Contacts...
These rules are important to the "real people" out there...Once
they learn that you can be respected, they will look to see what
you are involved in. Build a Group of "Discussion Buddies".
Contacts are the most important part of your success...Without
them, you are sure to fail, because they help you in so many
ways...discussing successes and failures, encouraging you,
pointing out new and different resources, and in so many more
ways...What started out for me as a support group has built into
a group of very good individual friendships I wouldn't trade for
the world.
1. How to build your support group.
Contact people who have similar interests...Remember, it is
sometimes acceptable to contact people through their ads. This
is one way to get started. If you see an ad for a program you
belong to, write to that person and share your experiences. Let
them know that you are interested in having someone to discuss
different programs with, and then see if they respond. If they
don't, try with someone else. Don't spam someone who is not
interested...There are enough people who are. When they write
back, start a communication about what you are trying to
accomplish on the intenet, what your life is like, whatever you
feel comfortable with...Ask them what programs they are involved
with, or their website address, and REALLY check them
out...Don't just say you will...do it. Then you can write and
discuss these things with them knowledgably, until you begin to
build a trust, or friendship.
You can also write to people whose websites you admire....I
don't know anyone who would not like to hear comments about
their sites...They work very hard to bring them to you and like
to know that work was appreciated. It's a great way to build
contacts.
2. Keep in touch with people you come in contact with...
If you get a message from an upline member on a new program,
write back! Let them know who you are, what you're like, and
your goals...They are real people too! I met some of my best
internet buddies through welcome letters, and that goes for your
downline too...Always contact people who sign up for your
programs, to let them know your door is always open, and that
you LIKE the personal contact...Encourage them to write you.
3. Do not "group" your contacts
Don't send "getting to know you" emails to more than one person
at a time...It's rude and will not help in building a lasting
relationship. Each of my discussion buddies is an individual,
and I have different relationships with them all. This is not to
say that you can't send a new opportunity to more than one of
them at a time, as long as you have a trusting relationship with
each of them, and know that they won't spam your other buddies.
Value the friendships that you build and don't abuse them...Make
sure you keep in touch with these people on a personal basis,
more than a "check this out" one...Once you build these
relationships, you will have them forever. It is a great gift
that you don't want to lose.
In truth, those simple things listed above were the secret to my
success...just a little attitude adjustment on my part, to treat
people like "real people" and not just some anonymous robot on
the other end...Try it...It really works!!
I truly hope these simple rules will help you succeed...Feel

contacts...smile Please visit my website at
