Positive Thoughts For MLM Success, Ask The Right Questions

Penny Dude — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:30:45 +0000

How do we move ahead in life if our minds are filled with negative thoughts?

Don Standard and myself, Penny Dude, had Keith Schreiter as our guest on our team call last night. Keith did an amazing training on the subconscious mind and how we can program our minds. We get to choose what we input into our minds; positives or negatives. The mind believes what we tell it to believe.

The big part I came away with was that we need to ask the right questions.

Meaning, how do we ask these questions. Do we ask in a negative sentence?? Positive sentence??

We can ask these questions to others like our upline but we can also ask the questions to ourselves. The reason we ask ourselves is our mind is already looking for those answers to the question.

Negative: Why are people quitting my business?

Your mind will be running through all kinds of answers like it was your fault, you didn’t do enough, I didn’t send so enough time with them these as just a few things.

Positive: How can I get my people more active?

These positive questions have your mind looking for answers to help, like get them on more training calls, send them off an email to encourage them, get them to events.

I am giving some more examples and would like you to write down what you think of when you read each question. See if this all makes sense.

Negative: How come everyone I talk to is so negative?

Positive: How can I attract more positive people?

Nagative: How come everyone I talk to has no money?

Positive: How can I attract more people who see the big picture and want to have finacial freedom just like me?

These are just some of the trainings you can get from Mentoring For Free and it is all free. If you have not signed up yet and you want to do so we would love to hear from you. We do training on all the skills you will need for success in network marketing. We show you step by step how to find prospects and how to introduce them to your business in ways that work to have you sponsoring people.

MLM Lead Generation Using Adlandpro – Hubpages

MLM Lead Generation Using Adlandpro – Hubpages

This is the title of my Hubpage that I created on this topic.

Hubpages is similar to Squidoo. If you don’t know about these to sites, then stay plugged into the MLM Compass blog to learn what they are and how to use them to build your business.

Penny Dude and myself, Don Standard, have done several trainings on using Adlandpro. If you are a free user of Mentoring For Free, you can have access to all of our recorded training calls.

The last training we did on using Adlandpro covered four weeks so we went into great detail and it is all recorded on four calls that cover more than four hours. This one is great for newbies. For people who are more experienced generating leads on the internet, you may prefer the call we did that covers the whole site for lead generation in one hour.

I built the Adlandpro Hubpages site to demonstrate using Hubpages. So check it out. Learn how to generate leads at Adlandpro and get a look at what can be done with Hubpages. Here is the link.

Direct Matches Help At Squidoo

Don Standard — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 03:57:55 +0000

Recently I did a post here on Social Networking sites and mentioned that Direct Matches is my favorite one.

Then today, Penny Dude, did a post on Direct Matches. She noted that we have some great recorded calls on how to generate leads at Direct Matches. These recorded calls are available to everyone using Mentoring For Free. For those of you who have not yet signed up for Mentoring For Free, you are missing out.

But I have some additional free information on generating leads at Direct Matches, so you will not be completely left out even though you have not taken my advice to get Mentoring For Free.

Later on we will do a post on using Squidoo. Yep, I have got to say it again. The free recordings on how to use Squidoo already exist at Mentoring For Free.

But last year I did a Squidoo lens on Direct Matches. So if you don’t know about these two sites, then here is your chance to see how I used Squidoo to teach people how to use Direct Matches. It is all about the things you have to know to use Direct Matches successfully. Soon I will do some updates on this Squidoo page on other ways to create leads from Direct Matches.

http://www.squidoo.com/Direct_Matches

Remember that Direct Matches is my favorite Social Networking site. I have generated more high quality targeted leads from here than any other Social Networking site. And notice, I still share that info with anyone. If you don’t sign up at Mentoring For Free, so that you can gain access to all the training calls that Penny and I have done since January 2007, then you are way too successful to be reading this post. If that does not describe you then why are you waiting.

Direct Matches

Penny Dude — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:54:49 +0000

There are a lot of different social networking sites available on the internet. One of my favorites is Direct Matches and I have been using Direct Matches for over two years now. I am having lots of success in my business by helping others on this site with their internet advertising skills.

This site can be free but you get very limited free emails. Then there are a few more levels, $9.95 us, $19.95 us and $29.95 us, all monthly fees. I recommend the $9.95 us level. It will give you what you really need. The other levels add some features but mostly they are for people who are using Direct Matches as a business. Start by signing up for free, then choose your level later. You can always upgrade at any time so start inexpensively.

The site has many features that are very helpful such as you can post videos, send out emails to anyone on the site, add contacts, send out mass emails, post ads, post events, blog, participate in forums and you can create your profile.

A very important part of any social networking site is your profile. Some of the things you need to do are make sure you have a photo of yourself, information about you and why you are doing what you are doing. You never know who you will connect with because of you smile, your eyes, same number of kids or activities you love, where you live, or even where you grew up. So you need to put YOU out there.

Also you can have your email address, Skype id, phone number or whatever contact information you would like for everyone to see. It is important to have people get to know like and trust you.

You will find that most people using this site are currently in a network marketing company and trying to promote their company. Remember everyone thinks they have the best company, the best product, the best comp plan, and so you do get bombed with emails from people promoting. So unless you have something unique and that no one else has you may find it difficult to get people to look at what you promote. That of course is the same anywhere on the internet. Don’t worry. We will teach you how to get around that problem.

Social networking is about building relationships and seeing how you can mastermind together with like minded people. Not to push, push and push your opportunity.

I am there to offer help to people and I am not pushing an opportunity. In fact I don’t mention my company. I just offer free training and mentoring. People do not need another company. They need to learn what works in network marketing. They want to learn how to sponsor and to help those people sponsor. Rather than pushing an opportunity, I attract people who ask to join me. You probably would like to learn how to do that.

I do a training call for Mentoring For Free on Thursdays at 3pm EST with my partner, Don Standard from Houston, TX, and we teach many different ways of advertising. We have done a few calls on Direct Matches and they are archived. We walk you through setting everything up from start to finish and we also keep up on the new changes that come along. You need to know what works and what does not. Who to contact and who would be a waste of your time to contact.

To plug into any of the ten weekly Mentoring For Free calls, including our Thursday call, just sign up for free at Mentoring For Free. You will get the number to all our free training calls and access to all of the archived calls.

If you would like more information let us know.

P.S. If you are already signed up at Direct Matches then we will show you how to use your current account. If you have not signed up, then you should be aware that you do need to be referred to the site in order to sign up. I am using a link to Don’s Direct Matches sign up. You can use it or choose someone else to refer you.

You Are Not Alone If You Are Struggling At Home!

Penny Dude — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:02:48 +0000

Not always do we get the support we need when we are building our network marketing business. What I mean by that is we do not get support from our loved ones. They do not see what we see and most don’t even want to try to see what we see.

I have over come this struggle in my own life but some days it seems like it is still there.

I am a mother of three daughters, a grama, been married for almost 25 years, work full time outside the home, mentor others in Network Marketing and build my business part time. So most of my life I have done nothing but been there for the family. My husband worked 7 days a week, 10-18 hours a day, traveled a lot for work and was not home much. So I did all the other things needed at home besides the major money coming in.

I decided when two of my girls got older that I was not needed as much and needed something for myself. I found an ad about network marketing and loved the idea. Joined this group and spent alot of money and never really got anywhere with it. So that is part of the negativity at home. I was working the business 7 days a week. Plus I was doing something for me and not for everyone else.

It was a daily struggle to keep everyone happy including myself. But my sites were on what I wanted, what I saw in Network Marketing, I could be a leader, I could learn so much information and help others along the way. I love helping people.

I was offered this e book from a person who was in my Network Marketing group but I always said no not interested. I was not about to give up. I finally read it and I found a group of like minded people with Mentoring For Free and found out that I am not the only one going through this problem. But that I did deserve to have success and be happy.

I started a weekly study where we read Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. We study one chapter a week and write our lesson plans. We shut out all negativity and focus only on the positive. It is called the 30 Day Mental Cleanse. It has been a life saver for me and many others.

What I learned to do was to focus only on the positive around me, try to balance my time out, try to explain to my family what I saw and what I wanted. I have finally found something that I can see the future with, I am working for me and my family, I am a better person, I am a stronger individual, I do not let negativity get me down(sometimes it is a struggle), I am focused on my perfect moment, my perfect day and that really helps me out alot.

Today things have changed to the point where my family is proud of my accomplishments. They know how important my business is too me. They are becoming more positive and but are still having a hard time with my time being taken from them to do what I love. I am sure that will come one day.

I just wanted you to know that you are not alone when it comes to struggles we may have at home. I am here to help if you need to talk. And I highly recommend that you plug into the like minded people at Mentoring For Free.

MLM Lead Generation On Social Networking Sites

Don Standard — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:45:43 +0000

MLM lead generation on social networking sites is booming, for those of us that know how anyway.

This amazes me, because Direct Matches has been my number one source of prospects for my network marketing business for over three years and I don’t promote my business to anyone there.

Many social networking sites have even been created to cater to network marketers.

There are free sites, paid sites and even sites that are social networking with an MLM comp plan attached.

And network marketers are trying to figure out how to prospect to network marketers at these sites. I hope your read this whole post because I have had tremendous success prospecting at these sites and I have shown many others how to do it but most people I talk to outside of Mentoring For Free, are struggling at these same places.

Most people are failing miserably at their prospecting efforts on these sites. Most can not sponsor anyone into their companies with their approach and those who do can not keep them in their company for long.

There is a reason for this. Most network marketers believe that they are in the best company. Right? You wouldn’t knowingly choose the second best or third best company available. Right?

So what most people are doing is promoting their company directly to other network marketers who have a company and believe that theirs is the best. If you know the basics of marketing then you know this approach can not work well.

The whole idea of social networking sites is to bring people together to get acquainted. Not to sell to each other. Make friends. Show people what works for you. Let them show you what works for them. Your company has little or nothing to do with it.

What are you doing different with the other people on a social networking site than what you do with people on a leads list that you purchase? Maybe you recognize something similar. In both cases you start marketing right away to a person you have no relationship with. The method doesn’t work.

We have sites like Direct Matches and Adlandpro where the culture of market to everyone is mostly accepted. But if you realized how many people come to these sites, get their free profile and then leave quickly, never to return, you might be amazed. The marketing tactics are running off the new people right away, your best prospects.

I have the numbers on Direct Matches. There you get a free profile, but it is basically worthless to you. You have to become a paying member to make use of the site. So here we can just check to see how many actually become paying members and how long do they stay on as a paying member.

Well less than 10% ever become paying members and the paying members keep paying for fewer than two months. What that tells me is that they can not find value in the site. They don’t know how to use it to prospect. They don’t like having everyone selling to them. And they don’t see any chance to make the MLM pay plan work for them.

This amazes me, because Direct Matches has been my number one source of prospects for my network marketing business for over three years and I don’t promote my business to anyone there.

Wow, I hope your stopped a minute when you read that last sentence. I would be happy to show you how it is done. Contact me now or just wait for the post to show up here later this month. Or just join Mentoring For Free to get your hands onthe recorded training.

Now there are lots of sites similar to Direct Matches. Some are free, some have a cost. This type of site will let you get away with more than others. They are used to everyone pushing their own MLM program at everyone else so you don’t have to be significantly different to have success prospecting. The one thing you have to do is to quit promoting your company. When you do that, you can generate leads very quickly.

Then there are sites like MySpace, Facebook, Ryze and Linkedin. These sites are very different from the social networking sites like Direct Matches where almost everyone is a network marketer.

These other sites take more time to build relationships. It is a process. You have to locate the network marketers or those who may take a look at doing network marketing. Then start creating relationships. Never pitch your business to them. I have people in the system doing very well at this. It works.

As social networking evolves, you will have to evolve with it. Pitching your company to people you don’t know doesn’t work now and will only get harder. Fortunately, what we teach you to do with these same people does work and you can learn it and use it too. Most of the recorded training comes from weekly calls done by myself, Don Standard, and my partner, Penny Dude. You can join us live on Thursdays for our training.

The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann

Penny Dude — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:08:00 +0000

This is a must read book, “The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David Mann. It was suggested to me by one of my mentors who does a lot of personal growth and has taught me to do the same.

It is a small book, only 127 pages and it is well worth the money and the time to read it.

Have you heard “give and you shall receive”. That is what this book is all about. This book explains 5 simple principles that will help each of us reach or goals and dreams. The 5 principles are listed and described below.

Once you start reading it you will not want to put it down till you have finished the whole book. So make sure you have the time to read it.

1. The Law of Value – Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment. (this part is very hard for lots of people to understand to give without expecting to receive back)

2. The Law of Compensation – Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. (Serving others for the better of them than of you)

3. The Law of Influence – Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first. (finding out what others need in life and focusing on that)

4. The Law of Authenticity – The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. (this chapter you really need to pay close attention too)

5. The Law of Receptivity – The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving. (sometimes we have a difficult time to actually receive in return with out expecting it)

This is the very short version of what you will get from this book. It is a very informative book and it is all about giving freely from the heart and putting it into action. Step by step.

People with the greatest true mlm success in Mentoring For Free, work their business as described in this book.

A quick read and an amazing way to move forward in life.

Let me know your thoughts on this amazing book.

Facebook And How A Professional Network Marketer Uses It

Don Standard — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:52:07 +0000

On Thursdays’ at 3pm EST, Penny Dude and myself, Don Standard, lead a training call on how to use the internet to generate your own highly targeted MLM leads.

We record all of our MLM training calls which we have been doing since the second week of January, 2007. So we have a lot of training calls available now to Mentoring For Free participants.

Recently we had a guest join us for our call. He has been doing network marketing ever since attending college and he has become one of the most respected and successful professional network marketers in the world. We asked our good friend and personal mentor, Art Jonak, to join our training call and tell our listeners how a professional network marketer uses Facebook.

When word got out that Art Jonak would be doing this call, everyone wanted to be there. Even though it was happening at a time when most people with jobs should be at work, we almost filled the conference bridge.

Now listen and learn as a true professional network marketer tells you how to use Facebook.

Warning: This recorded call may change everything you thought you knew about how to use social networking sites like Facebook.

If you enjoyed this training, you can gain access to our entire catalog of recorded training calls as well as the live calls by special invitation from Penny Dude or myself, after you get your free Success In 10 Steps ebook or by signing up for Mentoring For Free.

Special thanks to Art Jonak for this brilliant training.

If you learned from this call, please share our blog with your friends or social bookmark us. Thank You.

MLM Success Will Never Come From Purchased Leads

Penny Dude — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 03:50:37 +0000

I spent Over $7,000.00 in two years buying leads from my up-line, Funded Franchise, Funded Sponsoring Deals. At first the Two guys from Canada offered us free leads, when that didn’t work they told us to buy their co-op leads for $100 a share.

I sponsored 20 people in two years but no one stayed, they could not purchase the amount of leads needed to get any where. The two guys running these lead scams are still out there today scamming people making money off the innocent.

Penny Dude, New Brunswick, Canada

Now listen to this audio where Michael Dlouhy will introduce you to many full time network marketers and their experience with purchased leads.

I hope we just saved you tons of money. If you found us to late to save yourself any money, then hopefully you learned that your failure in network marketing is not your fault. You were lied to. Now it’s time to get the truth. Read Success In 10 Steps

Twitter Help from Tweetlater – MLM Succes Is About Relationships

Don Standard — Sat, 31 May 2008 04:01:46 +0000

In this blog we will be covering many ways to create prospects for your MLM business. One that we will cover later is Twitter. So for those of you that have not figured out what to do with it or even what it is, then we will cover that soon.

For now just know that Twitter is micro blogging and it is picking up steam fast. Over one million users so far.

But for those of you who use Twitter already here is some help for you.

To have MLM success using Twitter you need to build relationships. That means personally contacting people who are following you.

Tweetlater will help you with this. The program has a feature to create tweets now and have them post later. But the feature that will help you is the one that sends an email to your new followers as soon as they sign up. Just set it up to send a personal message thanking them for following you and you may want to say something like, “If you want to know more about me, go to” and link to your site or blog.
