Team Elite Training:
What to do Third?
Step 3
- Where to advertise?
This may be a shock to you but THERE IS NO BIG SECRET in marketing
online. It's all quite obvious. If you're marketing pet food then you
must target pet owners. If you're marketing high powered rifles with
high powered scopes then you'll probably want to market to hunters OR
assassins :-)
The last time I checked:-) traffic exchanges, health & wellness
groups, safelists and certain marketing forums were completely
saturated with network marketers. So guess where I advertise?
I'll be providing some of the sources that I've used. However, in order
for you to have a level playing field and not have all of my members
advertising on the same sites then I recommend you search the web for
some good advertising resources. It's really easy. Just think of some
keywords that best fit what you're looking for. Like...
list
of top traffic exchanges
Traffic exchanges are one of the easiest ways
to get your site seen immediately by hundreds or even thousand of
potential prospects. The concept is simple: View the websites of others
so that others will view yours. Note: Most traffic exchanges will give
you the option of purchasing credits rather than the time consuming
action of collecting credits. You should consider purchasing credits or
visitors to your website if you don't have a lot of time on your hands.
Average price is about $10-$15 per 1,000 visitors to your website. If
you don't really understand what a traffic exchange is or how to
maximize your efforts in one then I strongly recommend viewing my Traffic
Exchange Tutorial Page.
Note: These
potential prospects are viewing hundreds of websites daily. Most of
them will not even notice your opportunity without something that will
capture their attention (like audio or video). If a traffic exchange is
not producing results for you (sending you leads) then try another one.
That particular exchange may already be saturated with Berry Tree or
Team Elite
members.
top
credit based safelists
Safelists were once effective, then not so
effective. But now, they are once again effective because of the
implementation of the "credit system". This works a little like traffic
exchanges except for the fact that you're sending and receiving emails.
The concept is simple: View the emails and opportunities of others (to
receive credits) so they you can use those credits to send emails about
your opportunity to others. Most will have both a free and a paid
version. You should consider upgrading to a paid version if you do not
have the time to collect credits. Average cost for an upgraded
membership is $20-$30 per month. As an upgraded member you'd be able to
send out emails daily (or every other day) to a large list of potential
prospects without looking at their opportunities.
Note: Be sure
that the safelist you're joining is "credit based" otherwise you're,
for the most part, wasting your time without that incentive for other
members to view your ads/emails.
health
& wellness groups
Health & Wellness groups normally are
people that are already promoting some type of nutritional product.
Most of them are not being very successful in marketing so many of them
would be very open to a new approach or new company that has a
GUARANTEE that they will succeed. The concept is simple: Join the
group, read what they are saying, then reply back with a good answer to
their marketing problems and concerns. Let them know about your great
opportunity. Create your own "signature line" with your BT or AB lead
capture page to use with every message that you post. DO NOT be
"pushy". They hate that:-)
Example:
John Doe
Jr. Executive
Director
www.bt.automaticbuilder.com/yourBT-ID
555-123-4567
Note:
It's always good to have your own "domain name" (for example:
www.johndoe.com). This way you're not giving away what the program is
before the prospects actually takes the time to visit your website. You
could have your domain redirecting to any website you're marketing. For
example, www.johndoe.com could be setup to automatically show your BT
lead capture page. Ask your sponsor if he/she is already an affiliate
of a domain name/hosting website. That way you can earn commissions
when referring future downline members to do the same.
network
marketing forums
Network marketing forums work a little like
the health & Wellness groups. Marketers are always looking for new
ideas and better ways to advertise their current businesses. Again,
most of them are not being very successful. In many networking forums
you can send private messages from within the system. It's a good way
to meet people. Use this to your advantage. They have a problem that
you don't have. Your downline will grow whether you or your downline
are actively sponsoring people or not. Again, always use your
"signature line" as shown above.
Auto-dialing
Software
There are several
services out there that will automatically call prospects for you. "automaticburner.com"
is now a well-known service that will call your prospects for you and
give them the opportunity to talk with you live and immediately. There
are several other systems out there that are very similar but most of
them have outrageous "per minute" rates. Even 5 cents per minute adds
up very quickly if you plan on marketing on a daily basis. The reason I
mention automaticburner
is because they offer an option to pay a flat monthly fee without
having to worry about how many minutes you've used. This feature alone
makes automaticburner
one of the most affordable autodialers on the market. So, keeping that
in mind, do some research to find one that's right for you. With a good
list of numbers, this may be the only service that you'll ever need.
UPDATE:
I just come
across a new telemarketing software which may be a bit less expensive
than the one above (if you're actively calling prospects on a daily
basis. The have unlimited calling as an option. You can go to this page
and watch the demo: www.phoneburner.com There is no affiliate program attached
to this software.
Real
Time Pre-screened Leads
Purchasing leads "directly" is probably the fasted way to get your
business rolling. The reason I say this is because most people are not
willing to set up systems, advertise that system, etc. If you CAN
afford to simply purchase leads/prospects who are truly interested in
starting a home business then you don't have a need to setup systems
and advertise. However, you'll still need to followup with those
prospects, "interview" them, and introduce them to your business. You
will find hundreds of lead sources on the internet but MOST of them are
not very good. Good lead sources, for example, are ones that offer
"real time pre-screened" leads. These are leads that have already been
called and asked if they are seriously looking for a home based
business. A lead source that I'm currently using is mlmleads.com. A good signup
ratio to expect is at least 2-3 out of every 15 leads ordered. It's
EXTREMELY important that you first learn how to interview your leads
before contacting them. Mlmleads.com has very good training on
interviewing leads. This special training is available to you once
you've purchased leads from them. Also,
keep in mind that before joining any affiliate links on this training
site you should ALWAYS check with YOUR sponsor to see if he/she is
already an affiliate with that company or if your sponsor already has
something that he/she is successfully using which may be actually
BETTER than my own resources.
By the way, after I've interviewed a lead, I send them a personalized
email thanking them for their time including one of the following links
in that email so that they can review my opportunity...
The Berry Tree:
http://bt.automaticbuilder.com/bt49549
OR
http://automaticbuilder.com/harold/slides
Note
that these examples show MY links and you should change my ID to your
own before sending out any links to your prospects.
Berry Tree
Co-op Advertising!
Imagine... having "Free Trial Members" placed in your organization
every single month! TV ads signing up members on your behalf! Never
having to market on your own! Spending less time on your computer! You
can learn more about our co-op advertising (scheduled to begin in
January 2009) by going to the bottom of our "team call"
page.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Listen to Bobbi
Horne's
Prospecting & Training Call
------------------------------------------------------------------
So far, in 3 pages, you have pretty much all of the knowledge and
information that you need to begin marketing The Berry Tree.
1. Familiarization
2. The tools you need
3. Where to advertise
Finally, if you've chosen to post ads, you'll begin to see your
prospects' contact information either coming into your email account OR
their contact information will be listed in your system's backoffice (depending on what system you are using).
When
this happens you'll want to followup with them ASAP or at least within
the first 24
hours. You certainly want the prospect to remember which program you're
talking about when you call them so don't wait too long. Interview them
and ask them what they liked about the presentation. See if
they have questions about
the program. Be sure that that know about all of our marketing tools.
That way MOST of their questions will have already been answered for
them. Also, you should try to get your prospects
to one of
our prospecting conference calls where the company will answer their
questions for
you as well. If they can't attend, send them to one of our recorded
calls or professional presentations.
The most important thing here to consider is CONSISTENCY. Set a time
that you will market (or post) your opportunity DAILY. Set another time
that you will follow up with your prospects DAILY. Over time you will
have 5-10 prospects filling out your webform every single
day. This can very easily turn into 5-10 signups to your Berry Tree
and/or Nutronix opportunity every single month or even every single
week! What would that do for your business?
Simple, isn't it:-)
