People used to line up just to buy a car from Joe Girard. In fact, he used to sell an average of 6 cars a day and one day he actually sold 18 cars. He sold more cars in a year by himself than do most dealers!

What was the secret technique that Joe Girard used to become the greatest Salesperson of all time, according to the Guiness Book of World Records?

Drumroll please…………. Joe Girard sent out cards!

Joe Girardstayed in touch with his customers by sending out 13 cards to everyone on his list every year -one every month, and one for  Christmas. This is known as appreciation marketing or thank you card marketing.

These were not high pressure sales cards. No, these were just friendly reminders from Joe that he valued their business and was thinking of them. Do you think that these customers thought of Joe when it was time to buy a new car? You can bet that they did.

At the time Joe Girard was breaking all these sales  records he was sending out over 10,000 cards a year and had a staff to help him out. Today there is a system which anyone can use to acheive this kind of success using a simple web based card card sending program. With the click of your mouse you can send personalized cards to your clients or customers whether you have a list of ten or ten thousand. You can even program a pre-written series of cards to be sent out at predetermined intervals; hence the term postcard autoresponder.

It would take many pages to list all the features of a postcard autoresponder system and the benefits of appreciation marketing in general but fortunately there is a Company that provides the complete package. This company is called SendOutCards.

For far less that the cost of store bought cards you can send personalized greeting cards in your own handwriting and with your own signature. Just to be clear, we are talking about real paper and ink cards delivered in a handwritten envelope with a real ’sticky stamp’.

Remember, smart marketers never chase customers; they simply find ways to get customers to chase after them. It is the difference between ‘working hard’, and ‘working smart’.

Have you ever wondered just what it takes to succeed in multi-level marketing? Perhaps you’ve tried in the past to work a few programs, and it wasn’t as easy as your sponsor made it sound in the beginning?

Guess what? It’s not all your fault!

What you have been missing is the right kind of multi-level marketing “know how.” All you need is for someone to show you how to choose a profitable program, rapidly build a large downline, and set all of your prospecting and lead generation on autopilot.

Step One: Find the right MLM

Multi-level marketing is like any other kind of Internet marketing: you need to find a niche! For starters, forget the over-saturated, highly competitive, seen-it-before markets. There is way more to MLM than selling things like vitamins, juices, colloidal silver, e-mail safelists, etc. Network marketing

is far easier and much more fun when you have a unique product. My primary company has no MLM competition and it is in a 7 billion dollar a year industry. Now that’s fun!

The truly great opportunities, ones where the companies are selling products people really want and need, are not advertised like the flavor of the month. Instead, you’ve got to do your own research.

A good place to start is by using an MLM directory, such as the MLM & Direct Sales Directory located at www.nmbj.com. You can find niche opportunities there for practically anything you can imagine..

Think about your own hobbies or personal interests, and then try to locate an opportunity that falls in line with them. You’ll go much farther, much faster, when you’re working a niche you feel passionate about.

I also like to look for a company that is not brand new, yet not one that everyone has already heard about. The perfect stage is when a company has had a year or two to work out the kinks in its program and is poised for massive growth. You want to get on board before the business hits ‘critical mass’, and it just explodes in popularity

Step Two: Learn How to Generate Leads the Easy Way

Cold-calling and door-to-door sales are a thing of the past when you learn how to generate leads via the Internet. This is not to say that traditional one on one presentation is not still a valid and valuable way to build your business; it’s just that using the power of the internet will let you build your downline much, much faster.

It doesn’t matter whether the company you represent processes orders on-line, over the phone or even by old-fashioned mail-in order forms. Your potential customers, as well as your potential new downline members, can all be found on the Internet.

Therefore, you need to set up a web site dedicated to capturing leads. In other words, you need to get people’s names and e-mail addresses onto your own mailing list.

Once you do this, you can follow up with all of your leads at will. You can introduce the products and the opportunity at your own pace, taking your time to educate your prospects as thoroughly as possible.

Your credibility, as well as your ability to convert leads, is greatly enhanced when you are able to provide quality information. You accomplish this effortlessly when you have your very own opt-in list of targeted leads.

Step Three: Automate and Duplicate Your Efforts

You’ll begin to make the big bucks when you know how to apply the concept of ‘leverage’ to your advantage. You must learn how to leverage your time and money to achieve greater and greater results.

True leverage means earning more while working less, and there are two concepts you must grasp in order to make this dream a reality: Automation and Duplication.

Automation means creating a system where the majority of your marketing tasks take care of themselves.

Again, the Internet will come to your rescue. Put in just a little bit of work upfront, and you can have advertisements that drive visitors to your site automatically, where they can opt-on to your list at the push of a button.

After that, your e-mail ‘autoresponder’ sends out a series of promotional messages that you’ve written and loaded up in advance. You don’t even have to be at your computer! Your sales message will get to your prospect whether its 9am or 9pm. Meanwhile, you get to go out to a movie or spend more time with family.

Now, let’s talk about duplication. Duplication means you take an already winning system, and repeat the set up on a new opportunity.

For example, let’s say you’ve got the profits rolling in from MLM #1 by using the power of Internet automation. You can now move on to set up the same type of system for business #2. Maybe you want to move into a different niche or take part in a residual income or affiliate marketing opportunity?

No problem. Just duplicate your winning model over and over for each one. Eventually you’ll see the cumulative effect this has on your income.

Step Four: Keep Adding to Your MLM Know How

Long term success depends on you taking your business seriously. Growth in any business is directly proportional to the growth in knowledge of the business owner. Stay on top of the latest trends and news in your industry.

Read. Learn. Take risks.

Your ‘know how’ will soar, and you’ll be able to turn any multi-level opportunity into a resounding success!

Every newcomer to multi-level-marketing has a laundry list of questions:

1) Which is the best MLM opportunity?

2) How do I know if an MLM is legitimate?

3) What is the fastest, most effective way to build a large downline?

The answers to these questions and more can be found by looking at traditional Internet-marketing models, such as ‘affiliate marketing’.

In fact, multi-level-marketing and affiliate marketing are nearly twins. Both business models rely on the concept of paying independent referrers a commission for each sale they generate. The only real difference between the two is that an MLM program’s commission structure usually extends far beyond first and second-tier referrals, and provides a residual income.

The truth is you can evaluate any MLM program by asking the same questions you ask when evaluating an affiliate program.

The following list of questions is actually your secret ‘key’ to unlock the door. The information you need is in you own answers.

‘How to’ Success Tips for Multi-Level-Marketing

1. Does this MLM target a profitable niche?

If not, beware! The first step to success is always in finding products that people want and need to buy.

Find a company that is filling the demands of a truly rabid marketplace with lots of disposable income.

2. Is the pay out good enough?

Affiliate marketers look for generous commissions, and you should do the same. Make sure the
program you want to join pays out enough on each level to make building a downline worth your time.

3. Does the company provide support to its representatives?

You want a program that makes your job easy. Look for programs that give you plenty of tools
to help you promote the products, as well as the business opportunity.

4. Can I set up a lead generation system on the Internet?

There is no better way to generate leads to your program. Make sure you can market the
program from your own web site, where you collect and follow up with leads yourself.

5. Is the market overcrowded? Look for a company that has a unique product and little
competition

6. Can I automate the program?

Time is money. The more of both you’re able to leverage the better. One of the surest ways to do so is by automating your business. Your customers should be able to order products through you with relative ease; and, the process of signing up new downline members should be seamless and hands-free.

Last, but not least, keep an eye out for ways to multiply and grow your profits over the long term. You can do this easily if you have your own targeted list of leads because you’ll be able to promote new programs to existing customers. You’ll also be able to “re-recruit” members of your existing program into your downline in the new program!

Did you know that e-mail marketing can be of the most powerful tools at your disposal when it comes to profiting from any MLM program? It’s easier to get started than you may think, and most importantly will allow you to place a large portion of your sales and network-building efforts on autopilot.

E-mail marketing allows you to:

* Educate your potential customers about your products

* Educate potential downline members about the MLM
opportunity, commission structure and profit potential

* Build trust and credibility, with improved conversions
over time. You aren’t limited to a 15 minute sales pitch.

* Expand your overall business. New products and opportunities
can be introduced to your existing list.

*Put almost everything on autopilot. Today’s mailing list
management software lets you schedule pre-written messages
to go out when you want, in whatever order you want.

Are you beginning to get an idea of some of the power here? E-mail marketing is still the most trusted and effective means of communication available to on-line businesses.

And, for now, it still trumps the latest tactics like audio and video…why?

Remember that not everyone has the computing capacity or the bandwidth to watch elaborate multi-media presentations, but virtually everyone you want to reach will have basic e-mail.

If you aren’t yet using e-mail for your multi-level marketing program, here’s how you can get started right away:

First, get an autoresponder for managing your e-mail list. There are plenty of good ones out there. Some of them come as software with a ‘one-time’ license fee. You install the software onto your own web server.

If you want someone else to do the dirty work, you can sign up with a third-party autoresponder service. These companies host autoresponder software on their own servers. Some companies offer free services, but most will charge you a monthly subscription fee for an account.

Second step: Create an “autoresponder series” for promoting your MLM. This is just a series of brief e-mails describing the products and the opportunity, with a focus on ’soft-selling’ the prospect.

Create messages that are educational, informational and of high-quality. Each message should build on the other and move the prospect a little closer to taking the desired action. There’s no limit on how many messages can go in a series.

You’ll load these messages into your autoresponder, and schedule them to go out as you see fit. You can send one message per day, or put several days wait between each message. It’s all up to you.

Finally, go into your autoresponder and have it generate the code for your opt-in form. You’ll cut and paste this code into your web page, and it will create a ’subscription box’ where visitors can submit their names and e-mail addresses to sign up for your list.

Make sure you give them plenty of incentive to opt-in. You’ll usually want to create a dedicated web page, called a “landing page”, designed to do just one thing; get your visitors to join your list!

Once you have everything automated in this way, you can spend more of your time focused on driving traffic to your lead capture system and building your list.

After that? Just sit back, relax and watch as e-mail marketing works its magic. You’ll never promote any other multi-level program without it!

Many people first learn of affiliate marketing during the course of absorbing all the information they can about Internet marketing and home-based businesses. The Internet is filled with ‘Gurus’, all willing to provide their money making secrets, for a very small fee compared to its great worth. The people who wish to sell you this information are, of course, Internet marketers.

Hence, many people decide to start their affiliate marketing journey by promoting Internet marketing related products- the very courses and products they are being sold.. Some ‘gurus’ will tell you not to do this, and to focus on an unrelated niche, instead.

There mat be some wisdom in this advice, but getting your feet wet as a newbie affiliate by promoting the products you know best is also a great way to start.

Is this a competitive place to start? Yes! Can you learn a lot from promoting Internet marketing products? The answer: most definitely!

So, rather than try to persuade you away from promoting these types of products as an affiliate, I would like to share with you some tips on how best to succeed at the game.

Success Tip #1: Promote What You Know

While it is tempting to promote the latest ‘big name’ Internet marketing product, I’d recommend avoiding that tactic unless you own a copy of it already and have studied it thoroughly.

The absolute best way to improve your copy writing skills, as well as build a trusting relationship between you and your potential customers, is to know a product inside and out. You should be able to provide a full review of a product’s ‘pros’ as well as ‘cons.’

Success Tip #2: Build Your List Relationship

You need to build a targeted opt-in list, and then focus on building the relationship with your list. This means you’ve got to send relationship-building material – such as free gifts, articles, etc – just as often as you send out promotional emails.

Your list can be a cash cow for you, but not if you treat them like a herd. Reach out and speak to your list’s interests and needs.Send them free information and tools that have real value. Let them know you’re only a few steps ahead of them on the learning curve, and that you’re all in this Internet business together!

Success Tip #3: Brand Yourself

What do most of the top-name Internet marketers have in common? They have visibility. The fact that you know their names points to how good a job they’ve done branding themselves. Each one has a ‘unique spin’ on the way he does business, too.

You’ve got marketers who brand themselves as ‘super affiliates’, ‘expert copy writers’, ‘masters of traffic generation’ and so on. Many of them started out as affiliate marketers before they took the plunge into creating their own products.

So, ask yourself, what will separate you from the next affiliate promoting the exact same product?

If you’ll follow just these three tips starting today, I guarantee you’ll see a huge improvement in your results. You’ll convert more customers, earn more money and be well on your way to real affiliate success!

A tendency exists among new affiliates to jump into the game as quickly as possible, and ‘learn as they go.’ If you’ve some natural marketing talent or background, this approach can work. However, newbies should consider the benefits of investing in an affiliate marketing training program before they ever set up their first affiliate site.

In fact, the more prone you are to learning by trial and error, the more I would recommend putting yourself through a training program.

Why?

Quite simply, a good affiliate training program will save you months, possibly even years, of frustration, let alone hundreds or thousands of dollars. You might even save yourself from outright failure. Affiliate marketing is extremely easy in principle, but the reality is that it is highly competitive. Just setting up a web site and driving traffic through your affiliate link will not be enough to become successful at affiliate marketing

Affiliate Marketing success depends on a number of diverse skill sets, each of which makes up a crucial and necessary piece of the marketing process. Understanding how to target a market, and further target solutions to that market, are just the first two pieces of the puzzle.

Affiliate success also requires learning how to drive truly market-specific traffic to your site, and most importantly, how to convert that traffic once it gets there. This entails a bit more than putting pretty product images and links in front of visitors. It involves providing the real, useful information that your traffic is seeking.

Quality Affiliate marketing training will give you all of this, and it will also give you a clear idea of how to structure the type of information your market desires.

For instance, many affiliates have discovered that providing balanced product reviews goes a long way in increasing conversions. However, some markets respond more strongly to simple opt-in pages, or free reports they’ve discovered themselves at ebook distribution sites.

Do you know which strategy works best for which products? Do you understand how your market wants to receive information, or the ways in which they prefer you sell to them?

Likewise, do you know how the truly profitable ’super affiliate’ businesses are built? I can guarantee you it’s not about tossing up just one affiliate site and getting rich overnight.

No matter where you are in the process, you can always benefit from continuing your Internet marketing education. An investment in an affiliate marketing training program truly is an investment in your long-term success!
