( Although we have resold them at around $500 a pop )

We produced the videos to create duplication in our team.

Then you need to start LIST BUILDING now!

As we teach in our iMM List Building Training Videos, building a list or database is about collecting names… And if you truly want to become successful then you need to do it the right way.   To start this discussion, let’s focus on three philosophical practices that will serve you well:

1.  Adopt the philosophy of Giving First.  Let me ask you this:  Don’t you make your bigger buying decisions based upon trust from advisors?  Think about it… your real estate agent, your accountant, your lawyer, etc.  And chances are that those people began to earn your trust by giving you some free advice BEFORE you became their client.  It’s no different in building your business.  As a home business professional, and I mean professional, you need to practice the Give First  mentality…  as that’s what builds trust (both consciously and subconsciously) with your prospective business partners.

2.  Look to Build Relationships with prospects before they become clients… and you do that by Building Trust.

3.  Serve Not Sell - this attitude will serve you well in your advertising and your ongoing assistance to the members who join your business.  If you serve, the sales WILL come.

OK… now there our three central concepts you must use to build an effective list:

1.  Make sure your Websites, Lead Capture and Landing Pages, Blogs, etc. brand YOU.  As we teach in the iMM Personal Branding Training Videos, remember, people buy from those they trust.  You cannot build relationships by remaining anonymous.  In your ad copy and material you provide your visitors, provide value and let it be known you are here to help.  When trust begins to develop, you’ll get the optins.

2.  An optin form must be present on any site to capture the data and begin to build your list.  Follow these guidelines with your optin forms:

• Place your optin form above the fold… meaning visitors do not have to scroll down to see the form
• Make your optin form LOUD.  It should be easy to see with clear instructions like:  CLICK HERE
• Provide something of value like an e-book, video series, email series of tips, etc.

3.  You’ll need a “repository” for the names and email addresses you’ll collect.  Some mlm, network marketing and business opportunity companies provide this.  It may be OK to start there, but we’d highly recommend that you capture this data using a 3rd party service.  That way, you own the data and you can communicate with your prospects and customers freely because you’ve built your own permission based list.

Lastly, as you build and manage your list, keep in mind this Golden Rule:  Treat Your List with Respect and They Will Become Loyal to You in the Process.

Be sure and watch the iMM Videos on List Building and don’t be shy…. post your comments, feedback and suggestions.

If you’re looking for a simple, inexpensive, yet highly effective way to not ONLY get targeted traffic and leads for your MLM or home based business…. but to also brand yourself and stand out from the crowd… then Blog Marketing is without a doubt where you’ll want to focus.

Blogging will allow you to quickly become an authority figure, establish new relationships, build a bigger opt-in email list or down line - And Crush Your Competitors!

Here are just a few of the many benefits blogging can offer you and how it can help you succeed with your home business- no matter what company, product or service you’re promoting.

1. Blogs are simple to setup and inexpensive to maintain. No Technical or HTML skills are required.

2. When done correctly, blogs are updated frequently with fresh content so search engines love them.

3. Blogs allow your readers to write comments and interact which helps you to reach out and form new relationships.

4. If you choose to write about a topic that relates to your business that you are knowledgeable about , by blogging you will help to brand yourself and position yourself as an authority on the subject.

5.   People tend to view blogs as more trusted sources of information. What is written in a blog is much more likely to be believed then or your standard website.

6. Blogs are very cheap to set up which makes it great if you’re on a shoestring budget and trying to build your home business in your spare time.

7. Marketing and Promoting them is also cheap and you can generate traffic to your blog much easier then to a standard website and on a smaller advertising budget.

Blogging has become a ‘global’ phenomenon!

Technorati.com, which is the leading blog search engine, states it is currently tracking over 112 million blogs worldwide!

Technorati has been conducting annual studies on blogging since 2004.

Their recent report, the ‘State of the Blogoshere’, can be found on their website and it’s a great resource. Now I’m just going to point out a few key highlights of the report but its pretty detailed so if you happen to be interested in trends and stats like I am, then I recommend you check it out.

In June 2008, Technorati tracked blogs in 81 languages and bloggers from 66 countries. Bloggers are collectively creating close to one million blog posts every day.

Needless to say, blogging is here to stay.

In a specific section of their report, the What and Why of Blogging, it mentions professional and business bloggers.

It states that:

• The majority of corporate and professional bloggers have seen a positive impact as a result of their blog. Half are now better known in their industry.
• Blogging has brought many unique opportunities to these bloggers that otherwise would not have been available.
• One in four have been invited to participate in an event as a result of their blog
• One in five have contributed to a print publication as a result of their blog
• And almost as many have found themselves on TV and/or on the radio.

Can you begin to see and envision the benefits and impact blogging can have on your own business?

Businesses, small and large, are increasingly adding blogs to their marketing repertoire. Search Engines love them…peope love to read them. What could be better?

The benefits of starting a blog and blogging on a regular basis go on and on. The biggest ‘take away’ from this is that blogs are now mainstream and a fantastic opportunity for new leads and building relationships online.

As one of the faculty members of iMarketingMasterminds.com, I created a 6 part video tutorial series for our members called ‘Rockstar Blogging’.

Here are 5 Blog Marketing beginner tips

Here are some tips from the iMM video series to get you started- sooner then later:

1. How To Start a Blog: Set up a wordpress.org self-hosted blog instead of a free one like blogger.com. You’ll have a lot more flexibility and features this way. Blogger is fine for a personal blog or hobby but not the best choice for your business.
2. Register yourname.com and place your wordpress blog there so that you can begin to brand yourself - stand out from the crowd.
3. Content is King! The most important part of owning a successful blog that Search Engines will love and that will have your readers coming back to your blog again is to constantly add fresh, quality content.
4. Adding social media links and buttons like the ones below this post make it easy for visitors to bookmark and share your quality content. This can easily be done using one of the many social media wordpress plugins available. I show you how to do this in Rockstar Blogging.
5. Keep these three simple but powerful words in mind: Underpromise and Overdeliver. This means giving people more then they expect. The results of adding this philosophy into your blogging and your business in general can be remarkable.

In my next post I’ll share with you how to implement a killer internet marketing strategy that combines Blogging, Personal Branding, List Building and Social Networking all in one.

Until then -Maybe you can help me…

There is a wide variety of strategies you can adapt, from paid advertising to affiliate marketing. However, most of these techniques require payment. Nevertheless, there are ways to promote your website and increase your web traffic without spending anything. Writing articles is one of the best web site promotion strategies you can use, and they can be very effective. How, you may ask, can writing articles help improve your web traffic? Here are the top seven ways in which it can help explode your business.

1.Reach more people

When you write good articles, it would be a shame not to share them with other people. You can post your articles in your website or you can submit them to other sites such as e-zines and online publishers. By submitting your articles to these sites, you give exposure not only to your ideas but also to your website. Simply include a link back to your site or include your information in the resource box. With this, you get exposure and free advertising as well. Submit your articles to popular e-zines and take advantage of their popularity. Other sites who find your article relevant may also link back to you. Thus, you increase your link popularity, which is one of the most important strategies in the internet world. Remember that most people are looking for information online and by filling this need with your quality article; you may reap the benefit of more exposure and higher web traffic.

2.Free Advertising

Submitting your articles to other websites presents an opportunity to advertise your website without paying exorbitant fees. Although you should avoid marketing language in your articles and make it informative and useful to your readers, you can always include your site’s link in the resource box. In addition, by making your article relevant and helpful to your readers, you are making a good impression for your website, which could ultimately lead to a visit and hopefully a purchase. Good quality content in an article is far better and more effective than a few lines of ad space. You have a very special opportunity to presell your product or service to your prospective customer.

3.Gain High Search Engine Ranking

Create a new web page for your article in your website. Optimize your article to make it search-engine friendly. Use top-ranked keywords and Meta tags that can give your website a high search engine ranking. As soon as you upload your new webpage to your server, search engines will spider through it and you can gain an increase in search engine ranking. Remember that search engine optimized content is a very effective strategy to gain a high ranking in search results.

4.Increases Link Popularity

Instead of looking for other sites who would want to establish reciprocal links with your site, you can simply submit an article to other sites. Just do not forget to include a link to your site in your resource box. When these websites pick up and publishes your article, you automatically get a link partner. Try to get as many link partners as you can. Link popularity is one of the factors used by search engines in determining search engine rankings. Make your article especially useful and appealing, so that more websites will be encouraged to publish it.

5.Optimizes your site for improved search engine ranking

By making your site keyword rich, you can greatly improve the search engine ranking of your site. Remember that keyword density is one of the most important factors that search engines use when determining the search engine ranking of site. However, you should always provide relevant, useful and pertinent information. Avoid the temptation of overusing keywords just to gain a high ranking as this may turn off most web surfers. Relevance and quality is still the most important things to consider when writing articles and it will be doubly useful to your site if you make these articles search-engine optimized.

6.Establishes a Good Impression and Reputation

By writing excellent, original and relevant articles, you not only give your site exposure, you are also creating a good impression on your prospects. Encourage more people to visit your site and do business with you by establishing an impressive reputation through your articles. Be seen as an expert in the field and your will ultimately gain more customers eager to do business with you.

7.Enhances your credibility through references and testimonies

Certainly, your articles are going to receive feedbacks and testimonies when you publish them in e-zines and free article sites. Record these positive feedbacks and comments and use them as promotional material in your website or in any of your advertising efforts. Your credibility will be greatly enhanced by these feedbacks, as it will create a good impression on your prospects as well as your existing customers. In this highly competitive world, excellent credibility and trust may be the only things you need to attract new customers or make loyal patrons out of your existing customers. Original, relevant, useful and pertinent articles are important tools you should utilize to improve and explode your business
