    I personally have never had anything to do with any MLM-style business, but I can tell you that video marketing is extremely effective (when done correctly) in the internet marketing world. I have to assume it would extend over to that business model as well, but I could be wrong.

    Video marketing is the best way to do that. It's an effective strategy if done right. People will see that you're a real person and it's the most efficient way to getting a message out there. If I were you, start shooting videos and have a blog. Stay consistent with delivering and creating content and you'll start building value and influence.

    MLM or Network Marketing is totally different from internet Marketing. Do you know why? Because Network Marketing is build through relationship marketing. People only join people not business. What I mean is when you are marketing your product / service is you must build relationship to your customers which far far better using videos compared to articles or blog content.

    Video #1 - great for building credibility and relationship
    Blog #2 - great for providing additional value
    Email #3 - great for following up your subscriber / prospects.

    no offense but unfortunately mlm has such a bad stigma. The moment you say to someone "I'm into MLM", the other person basically want to run and hide. They also immediately get a bad impression of you. Like "okay your a low life, I get it". It's just sad. Better to make no money at all and just say to people: "I'm a volunteer at the local homeless shelter" or some other feel good concept than to say "i'm into mlm". In reality everything is MLM in a way but again amway ruined it for everyone. Now it's just crap. Not to mention that 99% of people in all companies aren't making a full time living at it. Then only 1% of the people in all companies are making most of the money. Do some research. When I looked that up and I found that out, I was working on an MLM project. But I couldn't justify helping people down the wrong road so I dropped out. Again 99% of people in all MLM's aren't making a full time living. The stats are:

    1% = full time income or greater
    2% = Part time income
    4 % occasional paycheck
    93% basically nothing at all.

      That's the 80/20 principle. (of course I know it doesn't break down exactly like that in your example)

      But that principle works in everything not just MLM

      How many people are making money here in internet marketing???

      You'll find the same stats there.

      Interesting that this is pretty much the same break down as the way income is earned overall. Around 3% of Americans earn over 90% of the money.


      I think that you can't blame MLM for this breakdown, but the effort that people will put into it. That's the same reason the overall breakdown of money is the same as MLM. Most people aren't willing to work hard for what they want...

    These days, the only way to do it is by going international.

    I have a client who's doing it in Asia and went all the way from the bottom to Emerald (in Nuskin) within a year. He admits he couldn't have succeeded had he stayed in a local market.

    Luckily, with the Internet (and direct mail), you don't have to leave the country to succeed in IMLM (international MLM). Yeah, I'm coining a phrase, here.

    Dave,

    Video marketing is a tactic. Before you focus in on specific approaches (like tactics) I would suggest you think about what makes some folks successful while the majority flounder.

    Here's a clue . . . the word is "leverage."
    • How do you build it into your contacting?
    • How do you incorporate it into your business model's execution?
    • How do you nurture and help your downline with personal attention?
    • How do you "force" yourself to become as productive as possible?

    When you can answer these questions, the tactics you use in your business will become more apparent.

    The very best to you,

    Steve

    If you want to reach people in UK and Australia for your business, consider FB through FB ads. And also Adwords.

    You can embed a video into a FB page.

    Video marketing is a great place to start. You could upload videos on YouTube and target them to people in those areas who want to make monye with mlm. For example a keyword you could target is "How to make money from home in Australia" or something along those lines.

    Use the Google Keyword tool to find some good search terms and start making content. That's a free way of driving traffic... you could also use paid traffic if you have some kind of sales funnel that nurtures your leads, gives them value, and drives traffic to your mlm signup page.

    If you have a budget, do FB PPC or try promoting some posts on Facebook. If you don't have a budget, then use the search bar and start connecting and building relationships with other people. For Twitter, you can use Twellow to get followers from certain areas. If you want to get this done fast, I suggest you try outsourcing the task.

    Before joining any kind of MLM company, you need to find out more about the community within. Are they friendly and willing to help others or just plain money driven?

    Personally, I'm not against MLM since I think business structure works but it really depends on the company.

    In terms of marketing for MLM, videos will most likely be the most effective.

    you can always go old school and chase friends and family away.

    the best in my opinion is targeting other MLMers and MLM Companies through SEO.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[8869157].message }}
    • Profile picture of the author verial
      SEO can be one tool in your toolbox. But for MLM, remember:

      SEO targets people already searching for your service/product.

      To succeed in MLM, generally, you need to target people who haven't heard of it.

      That's what my client did, working with me to develop a direct mail campaign to get handfuls of Chinese people in his downline. If we had gone the SEO route exclusively, we would likely be mainly getting people who already are in MLM, which would be useless.

      That's old school all right!

      I just enrolled in a brand new network marketing opportunity with a team that looks to be extremely promising! The FB group - everyone is helping everyone else; sharing videos, swipe files, ads, etc.

      I'm using the target-current-MLMers and people I've been following on FB and YT for some time who are in MLM. There's only two family members I approached, but only because one is my son, who will benefit from the product, and if he doesn't sign up, he can just refer people to me. The other is a cousin, and we've talked about this product already for months on end, so he's interested.

      But yes, you never want to chase your friends and family away.

      As for Amway - I had a bad experience with them too. BUT - their products, from what I can remember, because this was way back in like 1976 when I was with them, their products were top-notch. I just didn't do very well with selling the stuff! But people have made some great businesses from it.

      Getting back on topic - "spread mlm business," I could use some other creative, off-the-wall, innovative online advertising ideas for this new opportunity I'm in.

      It's in pre-pre-launch and already the buzz is like - WOW. I don't want to be competing against team members with this, and I don't want to get caught up in what could be an over-saturation of FB ads like what happened with Empower Network and what looked like what was going to happen with the Power Lead System.

      So what to do? What's good in 2014 for a brand new MLM opportunity that is genuinely going to be THE business of the year, if not the decade?

      Something that will stand out, be creative and innovative, surprising, online, but not the run-of-the-mill type of video or ad?

      I'm already doing Twitter, FB groups, Google+, SalesSpider, TrafficSwarm, blog, video... What else is there?

    I would suggest having a blog that promotes the product. With a free offer you can then start building relationships through email that will allow you to present your opportunity. You can get traffic to your blog by messaging your target market as found on relevant FB pages. I think people who find the product useful are great prospects to accept the opportunity that network marketing provides.
    Also, you'll need to have a FB page so those you message on FB will be able to see what you do right away. The page should obviously link back to your blog.

    Use 1 or 2 method of getting lots of eye-balls to look at your business opp. Master it by being consistent, and have a daily routine. Get as much prospect and traffic as possible, then the Law of Average will work for you.

    p.s - For the method, there's tons of information in this forum, just use the search function

    Get an auto responder, and set up a squeeze page. This way you can build a list of interested prospects, and continuously tell them about the benefits of your program. You will be frequently reminding them of the program and its potential, and building a relationship with them.

    Nothing against mlm's outside the fact, most of them are 'cult-like' plagues that almost NEVER offer value to their down lines.

    Be it my first marketing experience ever, was with Amway... and I quickly bowed out and started my own business, and despite the inspiration they shared about money, I never made a dime with Amway, as most NEVER do.

    With that mention out of the way, there are 'legit' mlm opportunities out there, and though they may be far a few between, it's important to understand from the legal perspective 'new members' must receive 'value' for their 'initial investment'. Being this is a rather 'grey area' you can mark sh*T up to feed an up-line, but is there any real advantage of buying that crap, when you can buy 'outside' the mlm cheaper most of the time?

    Further more, if the mlm is centrally focused on recruitment and the push is for new members to recruit other new members to make any money, whereby the focus is taken off the actual product(s) - it can easily be deemed as an illegal operation and shut down, with legal ramifications.

    Suffice to say, one of my blueprints for a large scale product does 'walk-the-line' of being an mlm style business, as there will be teird commissions (not passed up sales, mind you), based entirely on the entry level of the new member, thus making it affordable, and expandible if they upgrade.

    BUT... the products included in my blueprint cannot possible be purchased by an individual for less than 5x-10x the yearly cost of what I plan to include. Put out the big bucks, deliver the value, ripen the seeds, and grow the harvest... the old fashioned way.

    As such, each new member is getting a 'real' physical savings of 60% - 80% off by joining and becoming a member. Then, as a member, they can 'promote' the products or the 'business' and earn the specified commissions.

    No 1 up, 2 up, throw up bs.

    So, I would lean towards creating a membership site that offers HUGE value (*in REAL products) for the 'cover-price' of admission, and then allow those 'members-only' to promote the products and the opportunity as affiliates. (*OR for the sake of conversation... let's call now call them; Elite Members or V.I.P. Members, Maybe even Gold-Members... as some people prefer the language of entitlement, lol.)

    I personally have heard a few success stories, and have met 1-2 people who've done well with the ol' fruit juice biz, and a couple of others, but overall in my opinion they are all living in some 'cult-like' mindset delivered by those who understand the power of NLP, and the use of a persuasive language that sucks money from wallets faster than Dyson vacuum.

    Meanwhile, I am one who hear's the word... mlm, and laughs as they try and hand me their regurgitated dvd's and stories... "my sponser's have done so well for themselves..."

    - Um, HELLO, you're giving your sales commissions to him/her...DOH!

    MLM is considered old school. Look to your target market, and advertise accordingly. Stay at home parents, single income families where 1 partner may be looking to make some cash.
    So in consideration of all of the above posts, go super retro with this. Flyers. In laundry mats, grocery stores and community centres. You'd be amazed by how many people check these out.

      Dave,

      If you are going to spread the word about your business, there are some free and paid strategies you can use right now.

      Pay per click ads.

      Why not get into forums that are in your niche and post a link to your website in your signature.

      You can start adding videos to YouTube.

      Get a sticker and put your website and business name there for other drivers to see.

      Put an ad in the local newspaper.

      Ask for referrals from friends and associates.

      Look for high traffic websites and see if they allow banner or text ads for a fee.

      I used to think like that too and focused all my attention online with regular affiliate programs.

      Until one day I realized that I was wrong about MLM online.

        I don't know anything, even though personally I've been involved in many of these companies myself personally over the years. One thing is strange about all these companies. They are all the same.

        1.) Sign up for a monthly membership.
        2.) Recruit people .

        The only people who buy into these schemes are people who are interested in the business opportunity aspect and rarely do people buy out of pure interest for the product itself. I don't know about you but I'm in business to sell products to consumers not recruit people. Let's see what the FTC says about this:

        "According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, many MLM schemes "simply use the product to hide their pyramid structure.".[31] While some people call MLMs in general "pyramid selling,"[32][33][34][35][36] others use the term to denote an illegal pyramid scheme masquerading as an MLM.[37]
        The Federal Trade Commission warns,

        "It’s best not to get involved in plans where the money you make is based primarily on the number of distributors you recruit and your sales to them, rather than on your sales to people outside the plan who intend to use the products.".

        Still not enough ?


        Maybe it's you who needs to learn a thing or two?

          It is precisely because you bumped around from one to another that
          you don't actually know anything about it. Had you stuck around long
          enough to learn anything substantive you might now be a credible source
          of information on the subject. This is very much like a guy who bought
          15 WSOs but never made a dime telling the word that internet marketing
          doesn't work and is some kind of scam.

          The rest of your post is nothing more than stuff that has zero application to
          legitimate MLM businesses. You don't know the difference.

          So I ask once again... how does your response offer anyhing of value to the OP?

            Actually, my posts do offer substantial value to the OP. Value to where hopefully he wakes up and realizes that these business models never work. Value to where hopefully he realizes that people get burned all the time in these companies. That is hopefully before it's too late. Before it's too late and he get's burned time and time again. Before it's too late and later realizes what he is doing isn't legit. Before, it's too late and he turns into a guy defending these business models 10 years down the line on forums acting as an expert with no credible sources to back up his posts. We wouldn't want to lead him down that path now, would we?

            Yes there are legitimate network marketing companies ( as pointed out in the video above). But the ones most people are aware of , are not legitimate and are selling nothing more than rubbish products in order to cover up their pyramid scheme. You can deny all you want, but without you posting any credible sources to refute any of what I am saying, you would simply just be wasting your time. There is a reason why "network marketing" isn't talked about very much on Warrior Forum you might want to think about that.

              our opinion is. The prolem is you offer your opinion and insist that it's fact.

              It isn't.



              Before, it's too late and he turns into a guy defending these business models 10 years down the line on forums acting as an expert with no credible sources to back up his posts.
              I doubt there is a source you'd consider credible.... and if you're referring to
              me I AM an expert on the subject. The credibility of legitimate MLM as a viable
              business model doesn't have to be proven... to you or anyone else.

              It has stood the test of time and passed the scrutiny of every legal challenge.

              And, again, if you don't know the difference between legitimate MLM and illegal
              pyramid schemes that's your problem.

              Yes there are legitimate network marketing companies ( as pointed out in the video above). But the ones most people are aware of , are not legitimate and are selling nothing more than rubbish products in order to cover up their pyramid scheme.
              Which ones that "people are aware of" are you referring to? There are many
              scams disguised as MLM... they aren't.


              You can deny all you want, but without you posting any credible sources to refute any of what I am saying, you would simply just be wasting your time. There is a reason why "network marketing" isn't talked about very much on Warrior Forum you might want to think about that.
              I haven't denied anything. I've been a network marketing professional
              probably longer than you've been alive. Professionals don't participate in
              scams. Professional don't "burn" people. Professionals teach and mentor
              people because they know and understand that they have NO success before
              the people they are helping have success.

              Indeed, there is a reason network marketing isn't discussed a great deal
              on the Warrior Forum... although it has gained traction recently. The main
              reason is because people like you spout off unfounded opinions and demand
              they be accepted as facts.

              People like me... experienced professionals... know better.

              The truth is that MANY of the more knowledgeable, experienced and
              successful members of the Warrior Forum ARE very much involved in
              MLM because they understand the unequaled power of the business
              model.

                Ignore Tsnyder and other so called experts is step 1. They are to ignorant to deal with the so called little people and the time they live in.

                MLM is great but needs marketing connected aka a system to follow and presented as such. You can't dublicate people only systems.

                1: This is how you get leads
                2: Market

                    Ignorant A hole to boot! I am just calling your bluff as you have not provided any value what so ever. Calling yourself expert is the biggest crap you can say without posting anything other than name calling people who can see through you.

                    In MLM there are a few in the top and accepted as such. Tsnyder is and will never be one of them. 2 members is already not accepting his crap in this thread alone.

                    I could mention top leaders here and Tsnyder would shoot it down. So again Tsnyder present your only brilliant way to MLM success to us or get lost!!

                    As for people to ignore guess who they should ignore? Spot the fakes and those who only waste your time. Once you get a feel for them you know.

                      The real answer to how you spread an MLM business is not one you are going to care for. It's through relationships and learning skills of how to warm-up your cold market. Online strategies are just a subset of ways to information in front of your market. Regardless of how you have someone join your business, the most important thing to do is slow down and help that person get started correctly and get some ROI. Leave no one behind that is willing. Also let someone who is a customer just be a customer unless they express interest in more. I am very customer oriented. I lead with the product first. That's why I am still getting monthly residual income from customers acquired in my previous MLM from years ago (a service) which I only left not because it wasn't making me money but just because it led me into creating my own local online marketing business because I was talking to business owners anyway. After a couple of years I started in a new MLM based on trusted relationships. My current MLM is more fun than the old one, I like it's culture better, and it offers more potential for a worldwide market rather than only a North American market. The previous experience gave me a better perspective to appreciate the new venture. I simply just enjoy it more and it fits my background better and that's showing in my current 5 figure monthly income from it.

                      I recommend these books to anyone in or considering a MLM company. I am in no way associated with the following, just have these on my library frequently referred to shelf
                      books by Kim Klaver Banana Marketing
                      and Eric Worre Network Marketing Pro | Free Eric Worre MLM Training

                      Note - Kim's old books are great no nonsense stuff. She has joined an MLM recently again instead of being a company neutral trainer and it's one that I'm not a fan of but I can see why it's a good fit for her.

                      in regards to whole rest of this discussion thread, keep in mind that Sturgeon's Law 90% of Everything is Crap also applies to MLM companies like anything else! Most are not worth the time just like many of the internet marketing products on the WF are really not worth the money or time, even though there is some good stuff here too. Do your research just like you would with ANY business venture.

                      First question to ask is would I use this product or service if there was NOT an opportunity attached to it ? Can I see the value? Are you a happy customer first? Quality control? Does it actually work or is it delusional marketing or woo woo science?

                      What is the target market? How big is the market? How easy is it to duplicate the product or service ? What is the competition ?

                      Who is the management ? Integrity? Experience? Track record? Potential growth? Long term legacy?

                      Compensation plan that makes sense and has true residual income (many do not IMO. For many reasons, binaries for one is something I would never be interested in.)

                      Find one you can get behind it can be a lot of fun. They are out there. If you can't, find something else to do.

                      In the internet marketing business, working with local offline businesses was the way to go for me as well because I'm willing to actually talk to people. MLM is much the same way, it's building relationships and reaching quality people that would ignore the online games. It can be very rewarding. It also has it's pitfalls like all business. Nothing is perfect.

                        kbsamurai - this is one of THE BEST answers to any question I have seen here in a long, long time. Professional, to the point, and 100% correct!

                        I just signed up with an MLM company and I'm still trying to decide if MLM is even a good fit for me at all.

                        I mean, whenever I do go out, I don't have a hard time talking to people about things or even debating different issues, but at the same time, I am a self-proclaimed, loner, homebody. I didn't used to be this bad, but my medical conditions and symptoms have continued to progress, so I feel a lot more comfortable, less stressed and less anxious just staying at home and doing my online work.

                        I'm not sure that's going to bode very well with any MLM business, but then again, I could be wrong, especially with tools like Google Hangout, video Skype and OooVoo - it's "almost" like being there, right?

    MLM is a difficult business to learn.

    Although there are two-tiered programs like

    Ad Cycle Profit that isn't really MLM but you can

    still estalish a referral base.


    In order to be successful in MLM,

    it's going to require lots of patience and

    effort to get results.

          See you keep slinging crap and calling me whatever.

          Riding on a high horse and all.

          Marketing value is what counts in mlm and you have provided nothing of that kind of value. What you earn is of no value to me.

          Lets take this thread which is video marketing. Where are your tips and ideas on that? No where! I got more experience than you in that field and that is why I post regarding that. You started it.

      Well I try.

      Tsnyder just asults me on whatever I try to ad of value.

      Video marketing is a good idea but it takes consistent work and some thinking on how to make those videos more interesting enough so 1 video a day could make it grow as it will. Though if its all about mlm leads or business then you will run into trouble. You must have a system in place that you promote not the mlm business.

      Now Tsnyder will shoot the above thing down. It's ok but he does not provide any better advice other than wasting time.

    Where did this MLM difference start between the 2 of us?

    On another forum in the mlm niche I tried to ad value by what I had learned but the main people said I was selling or wrong. My signature line was attractive and I naturally got traffic from it.

    The truth is that I was not accepted at that forum and treated as such.

    Now it could be that the difference is between old school mlm and attraction marketing. It looks like old school snobbery which Tsnyder is too caught up in.

    It is funny how people talks crap about MLM but i bet most of them are just complainers.
    A good marketer can make a lor of money creating products or promoting products.
    A good marketer can easily build an army customers in Network marketing.
    The only different about Network Marketing and Internet Marketing that in Network Marketing you have to teach you team how to market their business.
    Otherwise they end up complaining on the warrior forum and they try to create different sites,products but they fail.
    All they do is complain and be broke the rest of their life. Btw im only 21 years old.

    I think the Video marketing is a good way to spread your MLM/ Multi -Level Marketing. Beside this you need to make some SEO/ Search Engine Optimization. to increase traffic of your Video. There are many way to do the SEO. You can choose the Do-follow link in stead of no-follow link. The Do-follow link will increase your Page Rank & traffic also.

    "Just bring in three friends who each bring in three friends. I mean three people, that's not very hard to do!"

    The problem is that if you bring in three people, and they bring in three people, and so on. Then somewhere around 60 generations later and every man, woman, child, and infant on the planet is in the program and 80% of the population is in the bottom two tiers being screwed.

    That of course assumes you can do the "three people who get three people" and so on. The numbers get worse when people don't bring in three and things spiral downhill pretty fast.

    Its why so few MLM companies stick around long.

    Yes there are a few, Herbalife, Mary Kay, AdvoCare, but generally an MLM company only lasts about 10 to 20 years and then fail.

      Please enlighten me and tell me how this is different (at all) to the Internet Marketing industry as a whole?

      I do find it funny people go on and on about MLM but they will happily sit there and sell or promote crappy $7 products all day long... like that is any better.

      It doesn't matter MLM or not. Whether you succeed is not up to the system it is up to you. Experienced marketers don't blame their lack of success on anything but themselves. Beginner marketers are the ones who will always blame a person or a program or a course for their lack of success... oh, and they always call everything a scam. They are the 97% of people who never succeed online.

        Bingo! exactly!

        Generalizing is silly. There are over 8,000 companies globally that market products and services using some MLM method for a total exceeding $150 billion annually. The best like any good business have a solid customer model. Understand your target market. Get customers, make money. Treat your customers well, get return customers and good referrals. Find customer getters and work with the willing. Learn sound online and offline strategies just like any business.

    You need to ask yourself how you are going to get these people! Free traffic sources or paid. It is a business so hopefully your willing to invest some money and learn the ropes.

    Using the paid networks you can target your "locations"

    maybe a combination of video and pdf
