Using mySpace to Expose Your MLM
There’s been a lot of hype lately, caused by the success of some people with generating dozens of leads a day from marketing on mySpace. I’ve read the books, and even started building a mySpace page, and a facebook page… but then I had a flashback to when email marketing was fresh on the scene.
Do you remember how email marketing took off, and you started receiving dozens, if not hundreds of email spam all promoting the latest pre-launch ground floor business opportunity as the best mlm of all time? Your opportunity for fortunes if you act now!
Well a lot of what I see on mySpace is headed down this exact same road.
The successful people that are hyping the social media sites build up a huge friends list by using automatic tools that request people to be friends, and of course give them a link at the same time. There is still a novelty in a friend request, even from a stranger, much like there was a novelty early on hearing “You’ve got mail…”
mySpace is hip to this and started counter measures, to filter out and shut down those sites using these automated tools, so it will be a short lived exposure and lead generation method… at least in it’s current form, in my opinion.
Now that being said, there are millions and millions of people on mySpace and facebook, and done correctly, it is an incredible place to meet new people. But these social sites frown on hard sells, so in each of them, the sites that will be successful promote them selves and their interests, and only do a soft sell on their business. This is how I see it working long term.
The automated tools may still work for a few more months to build short term traffic, but long term solution gets back to meeting people and exposing them to your business in the course of time.
Remember, no matter how you do it, building an MLM business comes down to doing a few simple things, and then teaching your team to do the same thing.
Expose, Present, Validate, Sponsor and Train.
It’s hard work for a short while to build a lasting legacy… that is if your downline sticks with you! (We have a solution for that too, but that’s for another day)
