You could even probably write an email with a cool enough subject line to get your 16 year old niece to click on your email first… before the one from Facebook saying that someone commented on her status about her listening to Lady Gaga, while talking on the phone and painting her toenails. If you can beat that email then you’ve got the world at your feet…

So now what’s next?

Well the whole darned reason that you’re sending your prospects an email is to get them to click on your links in your email and over to your network marketing opportunity page. That’s all it’s about.

Of course if you hammer away at this day after day they’re basically going to give you a rude gester and click that little unsubscribe link at the bottom of your emails, so you have to go about things gingerly.

Well not too gingerly…you want to make them a little aware of the fact that you’re not just emailing them because you’ve got nothing better to do. But basically don’t annoy the heck out of them, pestering them to click a link like your little brother who pestered you to let him borrow your Van Halen albums in the early 80’s.

So have some tact…

I think I mentioned this before but it’s worth mentioning again (I’ve been saying that a lot lately haven’t I?) you have to give value to your subscribers.

If they feel like they’ve gotten something from you then they’ll already be more inclined to click on your links… just to get your expert opinion on the subjet of network marketing or whatever it is that you’re talking about.

Make the Link Easy to Find…

Have you ever seen those emails where they try so hard to conceal that they’re trying to sell you something that they make the link nearly impossible to find. Don’t be that person.

You should be loud and proud about the fact that you have a kick booty home business opportunity
to share with your reader. You’re helping them out. You’re giving them value,and you’re displaying already in your emails that you have a lot more value where that came from…

So don’t ever try to sheepishly hide your links.

In fact here’s the new rule that you should use….

Put your links in your emails at least 3 times…with one being as close to the top as possible. Why do that? Well what if they don’t read much of your message. What if they’re in a hurry but want to see what you’re talking about really quick before their boss comes back from lunch and catches them sneaking a peak at their personal email account, or checking their Facebook status.
Give them plenty of chances to click your link.

One at the top, one at the bottom, and one in the middle. Not necessarily in that order

Tell Them What To Do…

People are used to following directions. In fact they like direction. People would rather be told what to do rather than have to work and try to figure it out on their own. So tell them to click your link…

• “Click the Link Below”
• “Click Here Now ==>”
• “Click Here”

Whatever gets the job done. You can test to see which is best for your readers. But just tell them.

Give Them a Reason to Click…

Remember when we were talking about subject lines and we said that curiosity and benefits work best for increasing your open rate. Well the same goes for links that you want someone to click. Give them a reason to click.

• “Click the link below to get 5 Free Traffic Strategies”
• “Click the link to get a totally, no strings attached sample of our new product Agel FLEX”
• “Click here to see the crazy shirt my wife picked out for me to shoot the video I made you”

You get the point.

Just remember don’t try any Tom Foolery stuff. If they click the link and it’s not what you said it would be, they’re long memory function will kick in and you’ll be permanently black balled from their email box,or at least their click to open trigger.

Alright so you now know how to get the click in your emails.

But what will you do with this information? Just sit on it and never use it? I hope that you’re not that kind of reader of mine. I hope that you’ll go start using this information right now, and come back and leave comments about your results.

Shoot this out to your Twitter peeps and help them with their email marketing as well.

Your network marketing business will flourish if you help enough people.

I often get frustrated network marketers…some in my downline, some not…coming up to me telling me that they’re business isn’t growing the way it’s supposed to be, or the way they want it to be.

But after a few questions I realize what the problem is right off the bat because I’ve seen it hundreds of times. The good part is that often times once I spot this problem with those in my own downline and we do the work to fix it, we see some really great results in a couple months time.

So what’s the problem?

The problem is that most network marketers aren’t doing the work that needs to be done on a CONSISTENT basis.

You see, to see success in network marketing there are only a few foundational things that it takes to be done daily on a consistent basis. The problem is that most people try like heck to over-complicate this business and make it much harder than it is. They add dozens of unnecessary steps to their marketing efforts, until they’ve got so many that there’s not enough time in one day to do them all..

It’s very much like martial arts. You’ve probably heard of Bruce Lee. Most people think of Bruce as just a movie star from the 70’s but what they don’t know is that Bruce Lee was actually a huge part of the martial arts world, and actually developed his own style of martial arts called Jeet Kune Do.

Well the basis of Jeet Kune Do is simplicity. Bruce knew that all of the showy kicks and spins of traditional kung fu and karate were useless. But he knew that the foundational moves of these styles were very useful when it came to actually fighting.

Bruce believed that minimal movement, but making those moves count, without all of the showmanship would win a fight every time over all the fancy dancy stuff, and so developed his style using many of the foundational moves of the various types of martial arts. He proved his theory over and over by challenging anybody who thought that there art was better than his.

So what does martial arts have to do with Network Marketing?

A lot actually. You see the greatest martial artists are the ones who constantly and consistently practice and perfect the few foundation principals. Each and every day they might do the same 4 or 5 punches and kicks for hours at a time, each time perfecting those things.

This is what you need to be doing with your network marketing business. You need to be doing just the few foundational principals of the business, and you need to do them over and over each and every day until you become successful.

The problem is that these things may seem boring to you at first. And when you’re just learning you may not be great at them. But overtime, if you do them each and every single day, these things will eventually become second nature to you and you’ll be able to do them in your sleep. Not only that, you’ll be able to do them so well that you’ll begin to see a huge spike in your results.

It’s the cumulative effect of these things that builds a long standing and solid network marketing business.

Not jumping around from one thing to another, doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

You should sit down and figure out what are the 3 or 4 things that make you the most money in this business. You should prioritize these things, and then write out a sensible schedule that allows you to get these things done each and every day like clockwork, even if you’re only doing this part-time.

If you’re limited on time then throw everything else besides those 3 or 4 things out the window until you start getting more time because of your success.

If you don’t know what to do, then go to your upline sponsor. If they don’t have answers then go to their sponsors until you get to someone who does.

If you still can’t get answers on how to grow your network marketing business then I suggest you visit our site that will help you with the foundational steps by clicking here.

Or worse, you may be able to see that from your open and click thru rates from your own emails that you’re sending out. (BTW if your auto-responder company doesn’t let you see that information then you really need to find one that does. Aweber is probably the best and what I use.)

In this post I’m going to focus on getting your emails opened.

Why am I starting here? It’s simple. Because no matter how amazing your email message is, it’s not going to mean anything unless your email gets opened right? Nobody will ever see how greatly crafted it is unless they first open the message.

And nobody is going to open a message unless there’s what? That’s right…a great and enticing SUBJECT LINE!

Subject lines are the key to getting your email messages opened.

What Makes a Good Subject Line?

Before I answer that question, I want to ask you…what makes you open the emails that are in your inbox.

I want to digress a little here…the number one thing that gets someone to open an email message is whether or not they know and like the person sending them the email. If they don’t know you, don’t remember you, or can’t stand you…then they’re probably not going to open your emails. Period.

So the thing that you want to do is obvious…let them get to know you, have them anticipate the emails arrival, and basically become a perceived trusted friend.

I’ll get into more about how to do that in Part 2…but for now back to…

Subject Lines!

A good subject line needs to evoke curiosity first and foremost. You have to figure your inbox to be like the game show “The Price Is Right”. Each email subject line is like a door that they can’t see behind. So what’s going to make someone want to open your door instead of all of the others in front of them.

That’s right… only the subject line. So your subject line must evoke curiosity so much that they can’t help themselves but find out “what’s behind door number 2 Bob?”

Good curiosity subject lines can be:

A question: “Are you making this mistake?”
A bold statement: “Here’s how I can swear on the Bible that you’ll succeed”
One word: “Revenge”
A made-ya-look: “Don’t laugh at my shirt in this training video”

You see what those headlines do? They make you need to know what the heck the sender is talking about.

The one thing that you should never do in a subject line is mislead. Misleading is when you talk about one thing in the subject line just to make someone open, when the message is not even about that at all.

People who open misleading headlines have a long memory, and won’t soon forget that you tricked them once before when you send your next email out.

The Importance of Benefits…

The reason any of us open an email is because we want to know what’s in it for us. Even if it’s a personal email, we will open them according to the benefit that there might be for us.

Let’s face it would you open an email from your best friend that says “workout” in the subject, or from someone of that you’ve had your eye on for a while that says “date?”…

See where the “what’s in it for me” part comes?

So you always want to lay the benefit out boldly in a headline…

“How to lose your thanksgiving weight fast” is a benefit. Who doesn’t want to lose weight.

“Get your bills paid easy this month”. The benefit is the ease of mind that you have when your bills are paid.

Here’s a headline that uses both curiosity and a benefit…
“OMG 45,000 visitors for just .07 cents?”

Who doesn’t want 45,000 visitors to their website, and who doesn’t want to get them so cheap?

Getting your messages opened is the hardest part of the battle. You should work ten times as hard on getting this accomplished as you do on any other part of the process. Once it’s opened then the person is already interested in what you have to say if you’re relevant.

Your best chance at getting good at this is a) Practice coming up with new subject lines…
b) Study the subject lines in your inbox. Get on a lot of marketers lists and see which ones catch your eye c) Study headlines…write them down, keep a swipe file etc.

The better you get at this the more success you’ll have in network marketing by the simple numbers alone.

Well there’s a good chance that if you’ve been trying and it’s not working out for you that you’re missing the one hot button of nearly all prospects. Want to know what that is?

Of course you do, who doesn’t.

The number one hot button is simple. It’s HOPE! People hoping for something better in their lives; hoping for a way out; hoping for a solution! In case you missed it, a big election was just won on that message (although there’s seems to be a lot of buyers remorse).

Now the problem is that a lot of marketers have known about this hot button for a long time. In fact the greatest marketers know about it and use it, but use it correctly. There are also a lot of people who want to be great, but use the message of hope completely wrong.

The ones that use it correctly without creating buyers remorse are the ones that offer hope, and actually supply a result. In other words you hit the hot button of hope that you know everyone seeks, but you follow that up with a result that a person achieves to add instant credibility.

For instance if you read through posts at this blog; my other blog www.MLMWhisperer.com; read any of the articles at www.AnnandDavidFeinstein.com; or sign up for our newsletters – you’ll see immediately that we give you tons and tons of free but highly valuable information on how to achieve success as a network marketer, tapping into our 24 years of experience in the industry.

This is all information that you could literally use to create a six figure business, without paying us a dime. We offer a result for you right up front, in more ways than one.

Of course we use hope as a marketing tool, and if you go check out our business opportunity at http://www.BuildingDynamicFutures.com you’ll see that clearly. But we immediately offer value to you by giving you 2 free gifts.

If someone goes on to join our opportunity with us, we hand feed them a proven network marketing system. It’s the same network marketing system that’s gone on to create literally thousands of financially free members of our organization around the globe.

Hope is a universal need and desire. If you’re human you need to have hope, or else basically depression sinks in.

It’s your job to…how do I say this…take advantage of this human need and emotion…without taking advantage of the person – the actual human being – behind that emotion.

You need to be ethical in everything you do, and provide true value and solutions to people’s problem. If you don’t actually have a solution yourself, then either find one or create one. Never pretend you have a solution if you don’t.

You can also always borrow the solution. A lot of network marketers hit that “Catch 22” that they can’t get people to join them until they’re successful first. But the truth is that you can borrow your upline’s success, and use their experience. That’s how you leverage your upline. And then you can use the same message of hope, and actually have a solution to it in order to build your network marketing business right from the beginning.

Hope + Results = True Wealth!

The question is this…are you using the network marketing skills that you’ve been taught, or are you merely just collecting skills?

You see if you’re just a collector of skills that you’re not utilizing then all you’ll ever be is a poor, but very knowledgeable network marketer. And believe me, you won’t be the only one. It’ happens a lot.

People get addicted to learning about new skills but never go on to utilize them because they’re too busy learning about the next new thing.

I’ve seen people who will spend thousands of dollars on trainings and as soon as they go through the trainings, that’s it – they’re done! The training material ends up in a closet or on a hard drive never to be gone through again. The person gets nowhere from this.

Then the next thing you know they’re off to find new network marketing skills that they’re not going to use. It’s a vicious cycle that you don’t want to get caught up in, and if you’re caught up in it already, then you need to really stop it now!

Here’s the deal…it only takes a couple of skills to get you to the success that you’re looking for. And the skills that you need are basic foundational skills that will take you further than you’ve ever thought possible.

These are the skills that we teach our downline right off the bat. It’s what makes up a huge part of our system. Of course over time (2 decades plus now) we’ve been able to perfect these skills and tweak them so that everytime we use them they’re more effective in almost every instance.

That’s the importance of having a system that works. Then the next step is to take that system and tweak it until it converts better and better each and everytime.

But… and this is a huge but…you have to start using the network marketing skills that you’re learning or else you’ll never be able to create a system with them.

Now there may be the problem that you’ve gotten yourself into an organization where your upline doesn’t really understand network marketing from a professional point of view.

They don’t understand that as with any business, from McDonald’s to Microsoft, there’s a way in which things have to work in order for the company to make money. The secret that most people don’t understand is that it’s usually the most basic of skills that make up the system that makes it so effective.

Keeping with the McDonald’s example…there’s not much to making a hamburger. It’s a very basic skill…so much so that McDonald’s is able to hire 15 year old high school students and make it work. But the simple act of making hamburgers, the same way over and over again, has made them one of the most successful companies in the world.

Network marketing is no different. Ann and I have built two of the biggest organizations in the industry, the latest of which with our current network marketing company. This downline is still growing by leaps and bounds, and has spread around the globe in record pace. But guess what.

We don’t use any fancy skills that should cost you thousands of dollars to learn. We use the basic foundational skills of network marketing with a few tweaks here and there. We’ve created a proven system out of those skills, and teach our downline to use them the same way.

The fact is… if you know the basics of network marketing but aren’t seeing success, then it’s because you’re simply just not using those basic skills.

Here’s a challenge… Dedicate 30 days to actually USING the basic skills of network marketing that your upline has furnished you, and just see if you don’t start seeing growth in your business.

If your organization doesn’t teach these skills, and you want proven mentors to teach you these skills in a proven system, then simply click here now!

So here’s the setting… It’s getting close to the end of the month, and you’re about $250 bucks behind your personal sales amount to get that bonus, or that commission check. Whatever it is that your company gives you or that you’re about to not get if you don’t make a sell or recruit a prospect!

Suddenly something happens to you that nearly causes everything to get suddenly harder for you. Want to know what that thing is? Of course you do…

You Get DESPERATE!

Oh my, you start panicking and thinking of every way under the sun that you can convince people to just buy or join your network marketing company. You even start considering whether or not it would be worth it to just buy somebody in so that you can reach that amount.

But here’s what happens… as soon as you let that desperation take over your clear and logical network marketing thinking and professionalism, you begin to repel prospects rather than attract them. Your prospects can smell your desperation – especially if you’re offering to pay people’s way in to your home business opportunity of course.

It might sound like a good idea, but what you’re actually doing is displaying to that person that if they join, then they’re going to have to start paying people’s way in to the opportunity, and well…most people don’t join a home business opportunity so that they can pay…they join it so that they can make money. Makes sense right?

You’re also repelling this person by displaying that it’s hard to sell the business opportunity – as well as the products – in order to make your monthly commission.

Listen, your prospects are nothing but skeptical already. They already doubt your opportunity, they doubt themselves, and they doubt you. When you show desperation, even if you don’t blatantly tell them what you’re up to and why you need to sign them so fast, they can smell it. They can sense it. It’s an intuition. The B.S. radar if you will!

Network marketing success comes mostly from your posture.

Posture comes from the fact that you take the time to find a network marketing opportunity and product that you believe in so much that there’s really no need for you to be desperate. This means a posture that boldly states through confidence, body language, and tone that you don’t have to worry about any one person joining your network marketing opportunity, because what you have to offer is actually a privilege for people to be apart of.

You gain this posture by doing your homework in the beginning when choosing your business opportunity. You gain this posture by arming yourself with an upline team that has a system for you to tap into so that those moments of desperation don’t need to come. But not only that, but with a system that you’ll be handing down to those that you bring into your business opportunity! (Knowing that you have this to offer raises your level of confidence, which gives you an even more solid posture.)

Network marketing success never comes out of desperation, nor does any success in this world. If and when you are feeling desperate, turn that fear and desperation into a positive energy called motivation, but never lose your posture. Just increase your numbers, and refine your skills, and eventually those lean months will be a thing of the past. You’ll be proud that you never had to compromise your confidence in what you’re offering.

If you want to team up with network marketing professionals that can give you all the training, tools, and proven system that can give you confidence that nearly sells people on that aspect alone (in other words they’ll be dying to work with you regardless of what opportunity you’re with) then click here now!

Now there are lots of variables that will help decide whether one will succeed or fail in this business. I’ve written about quite a few of them on this blog. But one of the things – in this industry in particular – that makes a huge difference in whether or not someone will succeed is their network marketing sponsor.

So many times I’ve seen people who you would think would be a tremendous success, and they just never reach that level that I have thought they would. And so often it comes down to the fact that their upline sponsor steered them wrong.

There are two valuable lessons to take from this. Two lessons that leave you on both sides of the coin in your network marketing business!

First of all when you’re in a network marketing home business, you’re both a sponsor (or mentor if you’re doing it right) and you’re downline to a sponsor (or mentor if you chose right).

If you think about it as a chain, being you as one link, your upline as a link, their upline as links, and then your downline all as links as well (yes I know they branch off but let’s just think of one line)…then really the chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link. Therefore one weak link in the chain can ruin the whole entire thing. And so one weak sponsor in a network marketing downline can poison the rest of the downline!

So there’s some shared responsibility here which in essence is the whole beauty of network marketing as whole. The real beauty actually lies in the leverage of that chain, and how each link makes the ones before stronger going one way, and the links that came before are there to bear the weight of the load for the next links.

I think you’re getting the whole analogy of the chain thing by now LOL…

The thing is that hopefully you joined a network marketing opportunity with a chain that was already strong. If not however it’s your responsibility to either leave the weak chain and find one that is strong like you should have done in the first place, or you can simply make sure that the chain is strong from your link down from here on out.

How do you do that? How do you make sure that your downline is full of strong leaders and mentors?

You do it by becoming one yourself, and leading by example. You do it by training your downline the correct way to train their downline and so on and so forth. Sort of like the armed services. The armed services isn’t just there building soldiers actually, the armed services is there building leaders over and over again. That’s what you should be doing.

The difference a network marketing sponsor can make on your life can be the difference of fast and massive success, or a long career of struggle. On the same token, you can be that same difference to those in your downline.

People that join you in your network marketing business genuinely need you to lead them to become great leaders and hugely successful. In essence, when you sign someone up, you owe them that. That’s why they’re signing up. They’re signing up to work with, and learn from you. That’s why they’ve signed up with YOU.

Don’t be like so many people these days, and sign up new distributors into your downline only to throw them to the wolves as soon as they’re credit card has processed. Mentor them, and the pay off will be amazing both in spirit – and of course financially.

If you’re in the beginning process of finding a network marketing sponsor then we’d like to prove to you that we’re mentors and not recruiters. If you’ve signed up with someone who isn’t mentoring you, and has no plans to…or if you can’t go upline from them (which likely doesn’t happen… you know what rolls down hill)…then you owe it to yourself to hook up with real network marketing mentors. Click here now!

Then you had to figure out how to use enough html to get by, to at least create a couple of line breaks and bold and italicize words, etc. Then you had to add your optin-box.

Next came FTP, and all that goes with getting it live and online, etc.

Let me tell you, you should be patting yourself on the back right now. Most people never get that far actually. You’ve now got yourself a network marketing website for your very own home business. That website can only get better from this day forward.

So You’ve Built Your Network Marketing Website…Now What?

Now it’s time to drive some traffic to the site and start signing people up right? What?

Well, your home business website is only as good as its last visitor – otherwise it may as well not even exist at all. So how do you get these visitors? This is where people get stumped.

Your best bet is to get your site in Google’s search engine, and get it ranked on the first page for the keywords that you’re after.

Now you’re really starting to sweat right? Don’t blame yourself, because most people can’t get on the first page. In fact most people can’t even win the first battle which is getting indexed into Google’s search engine at all. So that’s your first quest and believe me, it’s not as hard as some will make it out to be as long as you do things right.

If you do things wrong, well you won’t see your site in Google for quite a while, if ever at all.

How to Get Your Home Business Website Indexed in Google Fast

Alright, first let’s talk about the most important part of getting your MLM website indexed in Google.

The key is by getting some links pointing to your website. But not just any old links, you need to get links from sites that Google holds in high regard.

I’ll give you those sites in a minute, but first let me tell you about staying out of Google’s quicksand.

Google has a little thing affectionately known as the Google Sandbox. The Google Sandbox is where Google sticks websites that they don’t yet trust, and if your website is new, then Google automatically doesn’t trust it.

And if your website is in a category that Google sees as being a spammy category (pssst…network marketing is one of those categories) then you’re even more in Google’s proverbial “dog house”. Wow, talk about profiling.

Now one of the red flags that will cause you to get sandboxed quickly is by getting a ton of links to your brand new network marketing website way too quickly. You see Google likes sites that seem to be out there naturally getting links.

A link is actually supposed to be from someone who simply likes your site, and decided to vote for your site by linking to it for their own visitors. Of course everyone games that system and goes out and buys links, or sets up all these crazy systems to get thousands of backlinks, trying to fool Google. Well, the first rule of Google is that you can’t fool Google. That’s almost like trying to fool God. You just can’t convince Him that you weren’t sinning if you were, so why even try?

So if you want to get indexed into Google you have to get a nice flow of backlinks pointing to your site from sites that Google likes.

Here are sites to get links in order to get indexed. It actually doesn’t take much to get indexed by the way, because these links will go a long way.

Ezinearticles.com … Write a couple of articles, and in the resource box include the link to your home business website. Now your best bet is to use anchor text for the terms that you want to be ranked for. To figure out how to do that, just Google “anchor text html” and you’ll have plenty of help with that. Ezinearticles.com has a high page rank (Google’s ranking system) and therefore Google absolutely loves them.

Bookmarking Sites: Bookmarking a site is just like “favoriting” a site in your browser, only when you do it at a bookmarking site, you’re doing it in the public, and basically sharing with the world that you enjoy that site. You’re allowed to enjoy your own site now and then, just don’t go crazy spamming the heck out of these sites, there’s enough of that going around. The few best ones to focus on are Digg, Delicious, Jumptags, and Reddit. There are thousands more, but we’re just working on getting indexed for now.

Hubpages.com: Create a Hub at hubpages.com and add a link out to your site from that site. Google likes Hubpages, and crawls there sites quite often, and will likely find your link quick. (by the way that’s the case with all of the sites mentioned above too).

Okay this isn’t an exhaustive list, but it should get your network marketing site indexed fairly quickly.

Craigslist: Craigslist has a high page rank, and gets crawled all day long. Adding your link to Craigslist however takes some finesse or Craigslist themselves will kick you out, and flag your listing.

I’ve found the best place to make a posting, and add a link is within the “Groups” section for any major city.
