It’s one of the biggest accomplishments you can do with video: Getting people to think that your video is so great that they want to share it with the world! So, what are some of the great examples that we can look to? Well, the first one that I think of right off of the top of my head is the video on YouTube called “Numa Numa.” Now, I have no idea what Numa means, but it was one of the few emails that someone sent me with a video that I actually saw and enjoyed. It has surpassed the 13 million views mark and I think that this video is hilarious, plus for some reason I really like the song.

Another great viral video that comes to mind is the video “Hahaha.” That is the one with the baby sitting in his highchair that is laughing hysterically while his father makes a high pitched “boing” sound. At the time that I am writing this article, it has about 70 million views on YouTube.

Now, those two videos are great examples, but if you are an internet marketer reading this article, then what you really want to know is how to create a great viral video that isn’t just about babies or grown men acting funny. What you want is your expertise to be shared with everyone else. Well, lucky for you, I do have a couple of viral marketing examples that have accomplished this feat. These are examples of great viral content from people who weren’t necessarily doing something funny.

One of my personal favorites is the StomperNet Going Natural 2 video. Now, this video hasn’t exactly been put on a bunch of social networking sites, and that is due to the fact that it is about 1 hour long. BUT! This video still is a great example of a great viral video. This is because this video reveals a whole lot of information that many people would normally charge you hundreds of dollars for. It was like the eBook “Million Dollar Emails,” but in video form. If you aren’t familiar with this eBook, then just so you know, this was an eBook compiled by Yanik Silver that is one of the greatest examples of a successful viral eBook.

Now, both of these resources, the StomperNet video and Yanik’s eBook are both free in most cases (sorry if you paid for Yanik’s book by the way, many people share it for free). Both of these resources are so great that I still refer to them at times. I have opened my copy of Yanik’s eBook and have read from it various times over the past year. Also, I have watched the StomperNet video at least a few times.

So, now it’s time to answer the question on how to make a great viral video. First of all, you already know that if tons of people think that your video is funny, then your video might already go viral. The bad thing is a funny video isn’t going to make you any money. A funny video can make you a little famous, but it isn’t going to pay the bills. Your only hope with funny videos is to try and create tons of them with the hopes of becoming a famous comedian or something.

So, what is the way to make a viral video that will also generate some income? If you are going to make a great viral video that isn’t funny, then it has to be great and preferably new information that you are going to share with everyone. It needs to be stuff that you would normally see people sell, but for your own reasons, today you are giving it away for free. It needs to be like the StomperNet video or Yanik’s book. And if people really think that the info you are giving away for free is worth a good amount of money, then they will gladly share it with everyone else providing you with the viral marketing you were looking for.

Building your network marketing business is very dependent on your ability to build a successful downline for yourself. If you cannot recruit network marketers under you, then you will not be a network marketer. Your downline is the structure, the framework of your entire network. Without it you will have no network.

These are 5 MLM marketing tips that will help you to succeed with your network recruiting methods.

1. You must be able to convey to people that the business and product line has great value. This will be the first thing on anyone’s mind. You must be able to show the prospects how valuable the products are above any others. Why the products are of high quality and what they offer to the market. Why the products create loyal customers and why the company is the best darn network marketing company that is in the industry.

The prospects will all be interested in the opportunity and compensation plans that company has to offer them, but above all, they want to know if the products the company markets are good. When you paint a picture of the the products being the best available and has a growing market, then you are doing your job.

2. Once you have sold the prospect on the product and company, you need to let them know that they have commitment and support from the company with regards to training.

No one wants to join a company only to find themselves left on their own. The new recruits need training in order to become solid network marketers. Many of the prospects you will be dealing with do not know the first thing about marketing and will be looking to you for starting things off on the right foot. It will be up to you as their sponsor, to ensure that you will be there for everyone you sign up. This is about being responsible and being a good sponsor.

3. Showing all of your recruits the different options of network marketing techniques that are available on the Internet and off the Internet.

There are many different options to network market with. It will be up to you to show the recruits what methods are available for them to choose from. Everyone is different. What works well for you might not be something that someone else is interested in duplicating. If you are open and honest, leaving the different options up to your downline, they will respect you for this. If you are not very familiar with a particular method of network marketing that a new recruit wants to investigate, let them know and find out how to do it.

4. Be confident with your prospects. As a sponsor, your downline will be looking to you for the emotional support they need. The best sponsors will always lead with instilling confidence in their downlines ability to do the best they can. Lead by example and the pack will follow you anywhere. When you are confident that your downline can succeed, then they will probably surprise you and be a success. If you are open and honest with everyone,  they will return the favor.

5. Wet your downline’s appetite from time to time. Whether it is a new sales contest or a company retreat or convention. When you find out about something on the horizon, teasing your downline with some anticipation for something great is invaluable. It will always create an air of excitement and motivate everyone for more sales.

These five tips will certainly help you get and keep a downline. Being a sponsor is wearing a few different hats sometimes, but will always pay off for you if you are honest and respectful to everyone around you that is depending on your lead.

OK where can I go to network my services as a pedicurist and or find LOW cost advertising and or what is the most effective marketing without using newspaper ads? Those ads are so expensive!!
Please no spam…just some helpful tips. I am really LIMITED on funds so don’t send me answers that take me to a place that wants a HUGE monthly payment to market. Thank you all for you comments!

Jo

If I’m new to the area and looking for a pedicure, I would look in the phone book’s yellow pages. Or I would google pedicure, mytown, state and see what came up.

If I have lived here and I usually get pedicures, then I would already know someone.

I don’t think I would ever look on craigslist. Best thing is to get a small web site & make sure it shows up in a google search. Your Internet Provider usually allows you enough FREE web space for a small web site. You might have to get a friend to design it for you, but it’s free and would get hits from people in your area.

I am not good with writing articles.

I was wondering if you could take a look, and give me some tips, suggestions, etc.

I am going to submit to the article sites, which will pick it up and publish it all over blogs and websites.

my email is admin@mywebwii

Is there anything wrong with it?

This is R&S…
not business and marketing…
this is the wrong place to ask that
question

Does anyone have an innovative ideas for marketing an online store? How can I drive significant traffic to my store?
So far I have:

creating a blog
business cards

Business cards is mostly for ‘image’ rather than marketing. It shows that you’re serious about your business.

If you want to market an online store, I suggest you check out how other established online stores do it. The best way is to create a blog that doesn’t just sell your stuff but has quite some number if infos too that you think your target market will be interested at.

Adwords are nice but they can get pretty expensive especially if you’re marketing a newly launched store. I wouldn’t recommend it as your primary marketing tool for now. You can go to several clothing forums and blogs and join as a representative of your blog (meaning your username will be your business name or if they allow signatures, you can put your site banner and link as your signature).

It’s really all about traffic building and making sure that you have good content.

"I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – web traffic is the life blood of any online business. Even if you have the greatest product or website to offer, without traffic your business won’t generate any money."

Here are 5 Network marketing principles developed mainly based on real-world experience. Study and apply these principles in your online business and I guarantee you’ll be able to avoid painful and costly marketing mistakes!

1.Principle #1 “Great Ideas WILL NOT Make You Any Money until You EXECUTE Them!”

There are so many new MLM companies with better products, better compensation plan and better management team. All this is not going to generate the income that you want. If you want to succeed in this industry, you need to start taking IMMEDIATE MASSIVE action.

2.Principle #2 “For EVERY Cause, There’s An Effect”

In network marketing, there are so many ways that you can market your business. You can decide if you want to approach this from online or offline. You can use hotel meetings, home party and other method for the offline approach. For the online method, you can generate traffic by Search engine marketing, blogging, articles marketing, etc.

Whichever ways you choose, you must test and track everything you do. It is very important to know what works, what doesn’t. And you want to keep working on things that produce results. You must always be willing to give up old method and change.

3.Principle #3 “You’ll Make More Money If you FOCUS On Doing One Thing Well than On Doing Many Things Badly”

This principle is so obvious but frequently ignored. People love to try many new things and they do badly. This causes stress and distraction to many network marketers. They eventually give up because they spend too much money and time, but no result. Choose one approach to focus on and become an expert.

Use these guiding principles in building your Online Network Marketing Business and you are guaranteed to have more success.

I should also say we use google adwords but im not sure we are using it to its fullest

Show your capability to your prospective customers. Create an event for your own company and invite your prospects. What they see is an example of your capabilities. How well you run the event will either make them feel confident about your company, or will make them think you are a bunch of amateurs.

5 Tips to get Free Network Marketing Leads

It is possible to get free network marketing leads online. There are a few simple steps for you to take to get free network marketing leads.

1)    Create your lead capture page. What do I mean by that? A lead capture page is a mini website that captures your prospect name and email address. Why do they want to do that? By giving a free report, usually an e-book related to network marketing.

Next, purchase an auto responder. What is an auto responder? It works like your sales assistant to help you follow up with your prospects after they have “Opt- in” to your lead capture page. Your job is to write responsive emails to build relationship with your prospects and sell to them.

There are network marketing experts who create PLR( private label rights) videos and sell them as a package. You can buy it at an affordable price at amazon.com or Google search around.

Make sure you got the AVI source files so you can edit it and rebrand it using Windows Movie maker which is free. After which, you can submit the branded videos to video sharing sites like Youtube and Daily Motion.

4)    Forum Marketing. This is a network marketing leads generation strategy that few people share. You need to have consistency to establish your credibility in forums. Posting your threads daily and replying to threads is a good way to drive traffic to your lead capture page. Make sure you post quality and valuable threads that provide value to the community. In that way, you can brand yourself as an expert overtime.

5)    Lastly, social book marking. What is social book marking? It is to save your favorite bookmark, usually a website or podcasting site into a place. On the internet, there are social bookmarking sites that people save their favorite bookmarks at a free hosted website. All you need to do is to post your website url link in your signature and these is it.
