So let’s talk about a content marketing tool called Tribepro that claims to be able to get your website on the first page of search engine search results in Google and others in such a short period of time it’s actually kind of hard to believe.

Now you may be one of those wanna-be marketers who is just dipping your big toe into the ocean of online marketing, or perhaps you are already an internet marketer who is already getting good results from your content marketing campaigns but would love to be able to automate your results and maybe just push a button and generate those thousands of backlinks you need to rank your content rather than having to go through the time consuming process of having to build the backlinks to your site using article marketing or reciprocal link exchanges.

Let’s face it, in the world of online marketing there is so much to do, it seems you can never get it all done, so the very idea of a push-button automated back-link builder that could generate several thousand back-links to your content in a heartbeat and help to get it ranked is beyond exciting, it’s intoxicating.

So when I first looked a Tribepro and read the typical glowing reports and testimonials, my wallet was already open and I had credit card in hand. I mean good grief if it can actually can do that stuff, who wouldn’t want it?

So I decided to put TribePro to the test!

So in this review I will examine the mechanics of how Tribepro works, and if in fact it does work, or if it’s  just more internet hype designed to make a few bucks off of every desperate online marketer and then quietly disappear into the void when the results don’t show up.

First things first, let’s talk some basic search engine optimization (SEO) strategies.

How To Rank On The Search Engines

• On Page SEO of Your Blog Post or Website

On Page SEO is important if you want to rank, and should always be done first. That means you must pay attention to the proper use of your keyword on your target website. Remember that certain keyword factors, such as having the keyword in the title of your post and also in the URL can make a huge difference,  and also make sure your keyword density (frequency) is high enough (1% to 3%) to get you ranked just on the strength of the page itself . This can take some training to do properly but if you are using a Word Press self hosted blog, you can short cut this process and learning curve by using a tricky little plugin called SEOpressor which pretty much does all this for you. (Killer tool by the way)

• Create Back Links That Point To Your Site

Even if you rank because you are a master with on page SEO, you will still need to create back-links to your site to keep it there.  This is typically done using an article marketing strategy.

• Create Social Bookmarks To Point To Your Site

This is the third pillar of success in getting ranked, you now need to share your content and get as many social bookmark back-links as possible pointing back to your article or content.

What Are Social Bookmarks?

Well “Social Bookmarking Sites” abound on the internet, you have probably seen them or may even have an account already.  Sites like Bebo, Delicious, FriendFeed, Google Bookmarks, Stumbleupon, and Digg, just to name a few, are social bookmarking sites.

Social Bookmarking Sites came about as a convenient way to catalogue and store interesting websites for later quick retrieval by way of storing your info using “Tags” or “Keywords”. Most people who do a lot of surfing or research found that their “favorites” that they saved on their browser quickly became so overloaded that you could never find the site you have previously saved.

So social bookmarking sites evolved to fill this need, and to give you an easily searchable web based archive where you could actually find all the websites you had previously stored.

That of course was the original intent, however since Social Bookmarking creates an actual link on an external website that points to the original media, it in effect creates one of the most valuable commodities an online marketer is always seeking, a backlink. So that means social bookmarking can also be used to create SEO Backlink juice to your website.

Social Bookmark Publishing

Now this is where the leverage comes in. Publishing and storing your bookmarks is possible through social bookmark posting and sharing services which allow you to use a single service such as Onlywire, to post out your bookmarks, tags, and comments to all of your bookmarking accounts and also to share them with friends.

Posting services also allow you to share a post about an interesting site to multiple bookmarking sites where it posts information to your account page where it can also be accessed by others.

So if I have accounts setup with let’s say 50 different social bookmarking sites and then use a social bookmark sharing service to push the same information and website link out to my 50 accounts at the same time, I have just created 50 social bookmark back-links!

Social Bookmark Sharing Services

Now there are a number of these services on the internet but one we are going to discuss is called OnlyWire. This service will post your links to 50+ social bookmarking sites including Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin all with one click of a button.

TribePro – Reciprocal Social Bookmarking

Now that gives us a little bit of leverage but we need a lot more really create the effect we want. So now we turn to a service called Tribepro which can leverage and compound the effects of Onlywire by over 1000%

TribePro is a Co-Op that uses the Onlywire service and when you setup an account, you can share the social bookmarks of others within the system by posting their links out to your social bookmarking sites, and in return they agree to share yours to their accounts.

Tribepro is divided into“ tribes” or groups, and when you subscribe to the service you just join one or multiple tribes and then agree to sharing agreements with other members of the tribe. You do this by following the other members, just like you would do when building a subscriber list in Twitter.

The difference here is that in addition to following other members, you can click a button and agree to “auto-syndicate” their social bookmarks. This means that if you auto-syndicate let’s say Betty, and then she posts an article on her blog about “Nutrition” and then shares it through Tribepro, it automatically gets posted out to not only her 50 social bookmarking accounts through Onlywire but also though your 50 accounts, so Betty gets 100 links rather than 50.

Pretty slick!

Now imagine if you had let’s say 100 TribePro tribe members that were auto-syndicating your content, and you do a blog post and share it on Onlywire to your 50 accounts. Since your 100 tribe members auto-syndicate you, it would automatically go out to their accounts as well, creating as many as 5000 social bookmarking back-links with one push of a button.  This can create a pretty incredible about of what is referred to as link juice (backlinks) that can in fact push your rankings up quickly on search engines.

Wow!

How Do You Get TribePro Followers?

Now getting lots of followers and auto-syndicators is actually pretty easy in Tribepro. There have been several other reciprocal systems like this online based on the same “tribe” concept over the last few years, however one of the flaws of the other systems were that it was all generally based on whether or not someone actually liked your material, so you had to be a really good writer to make it work.

With Tribepro, it’s really all based on reciprocity not content.

Look if you are pushing out bookmarks to dozens of social bookmarking sites that you would probably never use anyway, and that no one is probably ever going to go to anyway, does it really matter what kind of content you are storing there as links?

Probably not.

So when you enroll in a tribe and go follow and auto-syndicate 100 other tribe members you will usually find that about 99% of them immediately follow and auto-syndicate you back. You now have a tribe working for you and killer leverage to boot.

TribePro Costs

There are three different accounts levels

• TribePro Free Account – This is a waste of time since with a free account since with the free account you don’t have the functionality to auto-syndicate and that is the whole purpose of the system.

• TribePro Plus – $39.97/ month. This give you pretty much full functionality of the system

• TribePro Pro Account – $79.97/month. This gives you full functionality and also allows you to start your own tribe. This is a great way to generate additional leads through the system since when someone joins your tribe, it allows you to build a list of members for your marketing and recruiting purposes.

Other costs

You will also have to setup a Onlywire account to use with Tribepro but you can do that for as little as $13/month. See the Onlywire website for details

TribePro Marketing Tips

The system is pretty easy and has lots of training videos so you can be up and running pretty quickly. However here are some operating tips that will shorten your learning curve pretty dramatically.

• How Many Tribes do you need to Join in Tribepro? You do not need to Join Multiple tribes, just start with one, you can join others later.

• Tribepro works on a point system, you have to have a certain number of points in your account (10) before you can post your content out to the tribe. Don’t worry about this, since if you go into the system and setup some followers and auto-syndicate them on day one, you get points from them every time they push an auto-syndicate piece of content through you, so you will find your account overflowing with points in a few days.

• Posts & Content is Not Tribe Specific: The recent posts you will see by other members when you log into Tribepro are not tribe specific. That means that if a piece of content is posted by a member of one tribe that post is then shared with all tribes.

• Post only once to Tribepro. Once you submit a post you do not need to repost it in other tribes, the same post goes to all. Tribepro will not let you post the same content’s URL more than once. You can however post the content more than once if you use different URL’s such as posting an article on your blog and then also posting it on Ezinearticles.com or on your online marketing system URL such as My Lead System Pro’s Articles Directory.

• Always share to your own Onlywire account first: If you are in the TribePro system when you post a content link, remember to use the OnlyWire share button (under your photo)  to share to your own OnlyWire account first.

• I recommend that you do not reciprocal share to your Facebook and Twitter Accounts. Since your are pretty much doing blind reciprocity in Tribepro and have no idea what links your auto-syndicators are pushing though your accounts you don’t want to take content sensitive social media accounts such as Twitter or Facebook where you want to control the content and flow of the media and blindly dump a lot of random content on your followers or friends. Keep your auto-syndication accounts limited to just the pure social bookmarking sites where it does not make any difference.

• Auto Syndicate only those Tribepro members who auto-syndicate and share to at least 10 to 15 sites. The ones that share to 25 to 30+ sites are the best because they give you the most leverage.

• Do not Auto Syndicate those who use the free service. There is really no benefit to your following or auto-syndicating someone with a free Tribepro account.

• Add new followers and auto syndicators daily. The best approach is to search currently posted articles in Tribepro and see who has a lot of shares and then if they fit the auto-syndicate rules about just click on their follow and auto-syndicate buttons to add them to your group. You will find that they will pretty much do the same back to you within a day or so.  

Tribepro Setup Tips

• Onlywire – Setup Social Bookmarking accounts will all providers (except for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn). Onlywire currently supports about 50. The more sites you submit to the easier it will be for you to find auto-syndicators to push your content.

• Setup Tribepro Auto Syndication – be sure to setup this function because this is what will draw followers and auto-syndicators to you.

• Set limits for postings – Some Tribepro members have bad posting etiquette and will go into the system and post 10 articles at one time. Since you have posting limits with Onlywire this kind of drains your account so set your limits at 5 a day from any one member.

• Setup Auto Submit for Blog Postings – You can setup Tribepro so that every time you  post an article to your WordPress blog that it automatically posts it to Tribepro and auto-syndicates it without you ever having to go to the Tribepro system. Great automation!

• Join a Tribe – Pick a tribe in Tribepro to join and get started, you can add more tribes later if you want

• Follow & Auto Syndicate other Tribepro members – Start your following and auto-syndicating right away so you can collect points and then be ready to submit your content

What to Post on TribePro

You basically want to post any content that would benefit from having first page search engine results, which basically means “everything”

• Your Blog content

• Your Youtube content – Many times Youtube.com video content will come up faster on Google or Bing first page results so always push this content through Tribepro to give it a boost.

• Easy Video Player content (This is a great tool if you market online, and you can rank with this video content) I usually always post my video content to both Youtube and Easy Video Player.

• EzineArticles.com content – EzineArticles.com is pretty much the biggest article directory on the internet and has a huge amount of internal search traffic. You should always be posting your blog posts here after you put them on your personal blog.

• My Lead System Pro Article Content (If you are an online marketer or a Network Marketer trying to generate leads online the My Lead System Pro marketing system is a must)

So there you have it, I guess you can pretty much guess that it works, and works well. I have lots of fist page rankings on the search engines such as Google, and Tribepro is an important part of my marketing arsenal.

My standard approach is of course to follow the core strategy of optimizing for “On Page SEO” factors first and then next posting to Tribepro followed by an article marketing campaign to seal the deal, however I have see my content hit the first page of the search engines many times just based on the “on page” factors and Tribepro.

Empower Network, hum….

So the question is, can Empower Network  be the “Next Big Thing”?

Well maybe or maybe not.

So before I go on to answer that burning question I guess I should digress here and give you a quick overview of exactly what the Empower Network actually is, and what it is not.

Empower Network is the brainchild of internet marketers David Wood and David Sharpe who in search of a different and unique business model ended up combining aspects of affiliate marketing, major product launch, greed, fear of loss, and a quasi MLM type commission that employs multiple levels within its structure but passes income upline using a comp plan variation borrowed from direct sales models known a pass up system.

 Confused yet?

Well there is more, and by the way what is Empower Network actually selling? Is there actually a product here or is this just another variation of a pyramid money transfer system?

Wow! Wash my mouth out with soap! I can’t even believe those words came out of my mouth!

Look I am not a MLM hater, I have been in the MLM industry for over 25 years and have been a 7 figure earner in that industry for many years and I love the industry.

But there is also the dark underbelly of pure scam that hovers on the edge of the home based business industry, and there are always people who find some new way to push the envelope with a new product or business model and it kind of leaves you scratching your head trying to decide what side of the fence a new gangbuster deal falls on.

That’s kind of where I was when I looked at Empower Network.

On its surface Empower Network is a pure money deal, and like it or not money deals attract people. I mean we are all in business to make money right?

Then there is the “wave effect” in marketing where some new program or “new great thing” hits the marketplace and the early adopters all jump on board and then just because a lot of people are joining other people join just so they are not left behind.

The thought is Wow! Everyone else is doing it so I better get on board!

But is there actually more to Empower Network than just a shell that allows you to make money by enrolling others who enroll others who enroll others and then sit at the beach while the automated pass up system deposits money to your merchant account?

Well sort of.

The Empower Network System

So let me break it down for you in a form that’s easy to understand, however it still may be hard to categorize Empower Network since this is an entirely new business model.

Empower Network is an affiliate product launch that has at its core 3 products.

The core product is a self replicating WordPress blog that is already optimized for SEO (search engine optimization), so that when you write blog posts the search engines have a better chance of finding your content and ranking you on Google or the other search engines.

Now optimizing a WordPress blog for SEO is not that hard if you know what you are doing but for those who do not, Empower Network shortcuts the technology learning curve pretty dramatically so this is a good thing.

This part of the program will cost you a basic membership fee of $25 per month.

The next Empower Network product is an online training system called the “Inner Circle” that contains several recorded trainings by David Sharp and David Wood covering subjects such as: Down & Dirty Marketing Secrets, Hypnotic Selling Secrets, How to close 95% of your prospects, and other online success trainings.

Now this part of the program will cost you $100 per month on top of the $25 per month you are already paying.

So is the “Inner Circle” actually worth what you pay for it?

Now just to keep it in perspective you should keep in mind that these guys know their stuff. David Wood and David Sharp are both very accomplished internet marketers. David Wood in particular even though my competitive nature makes it hard to admit, is probably one of the most talented markers working online today.

Also I believe the intent of the Empower Network founders is to keep adding to this online library by sharing the success and strategies of other successful members using the system so the curriculum should grow.

The next product in the system is the “Costa Rica Intensive” training. This is a high def recording of a live 2 day training intensive that David Wood recently did in Costa Rica where about a dozen people paid $3000 each to get training from David Wood on how to create the same type of magic in the online market as he does.

This Empower Network product will cost you a one time payment of $500.

The Empower Network Compensation Plan

Now all major product launches in the world of internet marketing share pretty much the same characteristics, they are all “How to” info products or trainings where the promoter is basically telling you “I have made millions online using this system or approach and if you pay me I will show you exactly how I did it”

The idea here of course is that if you buy the training and study the material you can do the same thing they do and of course have the same financial success.

Now this is a valid market, and it has been done in business just about forever and people will in fact pay big money for key information especially if they see it as  a missing link to their financial success or if they just want a step by step “how to” guide rather than trying to figure it out themselves.

I have never had a problem with paying for training, specific business models, or coaching. Heck in my last conventional business I paid over $35,000 for a license fee and 3 day training intensive on how to setup a successful banking service company.

Now the online marketing world has caught on to this model and there are lots of people out there selling training products, heck I do it myself.

Also the stakes are much higher with the internet mixed in. I mean there are probably over 1.8 billion people online today and if you can tap even the smallest fraction of that traffic and provide a product they want you can make millions with just your laptop.

Today there are many talented marketers who have done just that, and then they turn around package that system into a training, and sell it in mass generating additional millions in profit.

So is David Wood in that same league?

Humm..

well if he is not there yet, he is pretty close.

However, his Empower Network training is not a specific approach but rather a money making system wrapped around some general core training products that can teach you general online marketing success principals.

The Empower Network Compensation Plan

This is actually what is attracting all the attention. When you enroll as a Empower Network  member,  you get a replicated sales presentation funnel that you can then send your prospects to.

When those prospects take the tour and listen to David Wood and David Sharpe’s presentation, they are then offered the chance to buy the monthly membership to the blogging platform for $25 a month. If they purchase that,  then the up-sell process begins and they are next offered the opportunity to buy in at the next level, the “Inner Circle” training for an additional $100 per month.

If they purchase that, then there is yet another up-sell that offers them the Costa Rica training intensive for a one time fee of $500.

The profit potential on the Empower Network system is actually pretty amazing since for every qualified member that buys into your system you could be making $125 a month in re-occurring commissions and also a nice $500 one time bonus commission.

Now the presentation constantly stresses the fact that you will be receiving 100% commissions on all your sales, but as the up-sell makes very clear, to receive commissions on your $25 orders you must of course be active on the $25 membership, and if you want to receive the $100 re-occurring commissions you must be also active at that level or the sale your system makes for you will roll up to your sponsor. The same also goes with the $500 product.

So first the sales presentation appeals to your money making side by offering you a 100% commission, (OK let’s be honest here and just call it greed), then the fear of loss clicks in when you realize that if you don’t upgrade to the higher levels you are going to miss those commissions.

Now for the leverage…

There is another huge greed kicker here since when you enroll people in your system, and then they bring customers in, every 2^nd , 4^th 6^th member they enroll, and then every 5^th one after that ends up passing up to you and you receive the 100%  commissions on those sales also.

This pass-up keeps going since the person that you passed up will in turn pass-up their 2^nd, 4ht, and 6^th sale etc,  this pass-up structure actually goes down to infinity so the income potential is pretty huge if you sponsor a lot of people and they do the same.

So in effect you get the leverage of an MLM style comp plan with an affiliate “info product”.

Can we say Wow!…..

Join The Empower Network Now! > Join Now!

Now of course if you have ever sat through a MLM presentation before and watched a pro draw the circles on a white board and then run the famous arithmetic progression….

…. So if you get 2, and they get 2, and so on…. you magically have 3125 people in your group in just a few months.

That’s if your team members actually sponsor other people, and so on.

Yes of course the potential with a multi level comp plan is staggering, which is what draws so many opportunity seekers into the industry every year, but of course in practice things usually don’t progress exactly the same as in the example.

This is the same hypnotic power that the Empower Network comp plan has.

So OK Marc……get to the point, is this a thumbs up or thumbs down deal?

Well I have to say there are things I like about it and things I don’t.

Let’s start with the don’t likes.

I don’t like the Empower Network introduction video presentation very much. I see many online marketers today that when selling their product, they somehow feel the need to oversell and then take way to long getting to the point, and David Sharpe is very guilty of this.

Sales overkill just annoys me, but of course the Empower Network system is working and they generated over $500,000 in sales in just the first 10 days, so probably just ignore that comment.

I also don’t like the way they keep referring to the fact that you get 100% commissions but then seem to ignore the fact that if you are passing up every 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th etc that is not really 100% its actually more like 50% on the first 6 and then 80% thereafter.

Now of course you do receive 100% on the commissions you actually are qualified to receive but not on all your traffic or generated sales.

Also on the flip side you do receive the benefit of those pass-ups also and if you get a lot of people going the income effect it generates can be huge.

Then there is the avoidance of the real reason they developed the Empower Network system, which is of course to make money. The presentation and marketing copy state that it’s kind of a giving back thing, and they just want to help people, but come on guys, if you are at the top of this …

I hate to say the word, pyramid sales structure and you personally sponsored several hundred top online marketers (which you did),  then there is a shit load of money you are making with those pass-ups from a very large front line of members that you brought in.

Now to coin a David Wood phrase from his “NLP” style sales structuring , …….“and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that”….. but lets be a little more transparent about it,  it’s a brilliant idea and there is nothing wrong with making money.

OK so I got that off my chest so now on to the things I like.

Look it’s a “Wave Effect” deal and whether you approve or not, lots of money is made in them, so either take a flyer and surf the wave or get your binoculars and watch it recede into the distance while you think about all the money you could have made.

It’s an ambitious, aggressive, very creative business model and kudos to you guys for bringing it off.

In the end I can’t tell you whether or not this deal has legs or how long it will last, but wave effect deals have a way of becoming viral and I am sure there will be some huge money made with Empower Network even in the short term.

Keep in mind that income potential aside, there is actually a real product here. So if you are having trouble making the “buy” decision just based on “can I make a ton of money if I invest $625 to buy all the levels”, then take a look at the Empower Network training and tools and decide if what you are buying actually is worth the money.

In the end the reason I bought, yes that’s right I am also on that wave, was because I have a feeling that quite a bit of money can be made with this product system and at a minimum I was more than willing to pay $625 to get my hands on 10 hours of David Woods “Costa Rica Intensive” training.

Look I know David personally, and my competitive nature aside, they guy is good, so I was happy to be able to get my hands on that training material, and of course I have no doubt that a lot of other people will buy it also.

Now keep in mind that the most successful online business model is to develop multiple streams of income,  so even if you are excited about this and join, I would not drop your other business marketing efforts such as your primary MLM to focus all you attention here.

Focus on the Empower Network for what it actually is, a really great affiliate income stream that could make you a lot of money.

Now one final note here, if you have never been successful generating leads online before, Empower Network is not your magic solution.  It is simply a product with a lot more sex appeal than most others and that makes it much easier to sell.

To make the big money with Empower Network you will still actually have to learn some quick and easy online marketing strategies like PPC or Banner advertising like I train my group in My Lead System Pro to use, or utilize some of my favorite offline strategies such as “Voice Broadcasting” and using tools such as iBuzzPro to push some aggressive lead traffic to people already in the MLM industry.

If you want to generate leads quickly and you are not quite ready to learn online marketing approaches,  Voice Broadcasting is a quick and easy “low tech” way to get into action and start generating leads within 24 hours.

There are many good offline strategies that I have used for years to drive big traffic, you just need a little coaching on how to implement them. Before I started online marketing I was sponsoring well over 10 new reps a month just using a unique voice broadcasting approach with some specialized scripts.

Now the Empower Network product is ideal to target people in the MLM industry since it can provide them with a much quicker cash flow than their traditional standard MLM can.

So let’s talk about My Lead System Pro, or as they used call themselves, MLM Lead System Pro.

Now My Lead System Pro, MLSP for short, is the brainchild of Brian Fanale, Norbert Orlewicz, and Todd Schlomer, three apparent refugees from the world of traditional MLM marketing who launched the system in September of 2008.

As I sat down to write this review about this MLM Online Marketing System and educational portal, I saw that there are many different approaches I could use to explain the system.

I thought about just listing the different elements of the online educational platform such as the cutting edge weekly training webinars that My Lead System Pro (MLSP) puts on for members that are hosted by successful online marketers such as Cedrick Harris, David Wood, Ray Higdon, Nicole Cooper, Mia Davies and others.

In these training webinars, these MLM marketing success stories share the intimate details of how they generate online traffic using Facebook, or Twitter, or Pay Per Click marketing, or Article Marketing or even video marketing and then ramp that into a literal flood of lead flow of 10, 20, 50, or even 100 leads a day using My Lead System Pro.

It’s pretty magical stuff actually.

My Lead System Pro is like having the online world deciphered and brought down to a level pretty much anyone can understand and of course copy.

Then of course I would have to list the different elements of the online marketing system that “My Lead System Pro” also makes available to their members such as the “out of the box” lead capture websites that are ready to go on day one, or maybe the more advanced versions for the non-beginners where you and point and click and have 5 or 10 custom website sales funnels up and running in less than 20 min.

Then there are the other elements of the My Lead System Pro marketing system such as the professionally written auto-responder messages, the video hosting capability, the affiliate income streams, and on and on.

There is actually so much to the My Lead System Pro system, that just to list all the elements in a review would make it sound more like a tech manual than a valuable tool.

So I decided to tell you a story instead.

Humm….Where do I begin.

I guess for me the journey into the world of high volume lead generation and automated sales funnels was not nearly the journey it is for a lot of people.

I have always understood the concept of working the numbers to achieve success in MLM and I had even developed a low-tech, high-volume lead funnel system over 24 years ago and it was in fact that marketing approach that launched me to over 7 figures a year in the MLM industry.

What took a little longer to understand about online marketing was the “Funded Proposal” concept and even a little harder was abandoning the “Pit Bull on the throat” approach to direct recruiting that I had been using for over 20 years and then trying to really get inside the “Attraction Marketing” model.

But hey, I am getting ahead of myself so this probably all sounds like Greek to you so let me start at the beginning and tell you why I decided to use one of the top online lead generation systems in the market today, My Lead System Pro, and how I leveraged the system to sponsor over 60 people in to my primary MLM in just a few months using an online marketing approach and also in the process generated thousands of dollars in affiliate commissions.

It was near the end of 2009 and I had been heavily involved for the last two years in building a team for a new MLM superjuice company when I had a moment of mental meltdown one night while experiencing the urge to karate chop my phone after having a lame discussion with an even lamer prospect who just did not get it.

Yes I know we all have those moments, but hey, I have been in the MLM industry for over 23 years and I have been to the top, earning 7 figures a year for many years, so one would think I would be “oh so wise” and way beyond all that childish “telephone anger”.

Well I hate to tell you this but even the so called Pro’s sometimes stumble around scratching their heads thinking “there has to be a better way”.

I mean I knew what to do, I had done it for years, just polish off the trusty old “7 figure business plan” and get to work.

I mean I had learned years ago that success in MLM is numbers related. The more leads you have, the more prospects you have, the more signups you have and so on.

I knew very well that to hit top earning status in any company you had to be able to bring 10+ people to the table as new distributors each month and then sift that down to the 20% Percenters that would form the base of you income and then somewhere over the next several months hopefully hit a magical 1% Percenter, and then bam!

Off to the races!

So I had a well oiled business plan ready to roll that I had used many times before, however the problem was that what works in the marketing world changes from time to time.

That marketing time warp had lead me from tiny 8 line sizzle newspaper adds 20 some years ago that would generate up to 100 leads a week, to the world of magazine advertising, then on to telemarketing machines, to fax blast advertising, to e mail marketing, to resume database mining, to internet job portal advertising, and so on, and so on, etc.

The marketing world never sleeps and it always evolves.

So there I was re-working some of my older approaches and hitting some good numbers but the volume just was not as high as it needed to be, and when the volume is not high it leads you to want to maximize your leads which leads to the urge to chase prospects and that invariably leads to the powerful urge to destroy you phone at some point after having some lame follow up discussion you know you never should have been having in the first place.

Well shortly after my telephone meltdown I got a call from one of my downline team members in Miami who for some reason was all excited and stopped by drop off a copy of the “Magnetic Sponsoring” e-book by industry legend Mike Dillard.

So I promised him I would read it but told him it was probably just some internet garbage so not to get his hopes up.

Now at that point I was just about ready to pull the plug on the day and go to the beach but I started reading the 80 page e book and I have to say it had me within a few pages as truth after truth about the MLM industry rolled off the page.

It talked about a world of “Attraction Marketing models”, of something called “Funded Proposals”, and of a powerful online marketing model.

Now I won’t digress into details on what is said since I recently did a blog post on it but I will say that it was so right on target it was scary. I could instantly see the direction I needed to go with my MLM business

Online……………….

Later that day I started buying and studying ever course Magnetic Sponsoring had to offer, “Building on a Budget”, “Black Belt Recruiting” and “Traffic Formula 2” for starters.

Within a day I knew exactly what needed to be done and as I poured through his course called “Traffic Formula 2”. Now I was a little disappointed that Mike Dillard did not actually offer an out of the box online marketing system but instead he was going to show you how to build your own.

So I was over half way through the course when the thought occurred to me that I could build the system, but that someone in the internet universe had probably already done it.

I searched the internet and then “bam” there it was, a My Lead System Pro capture page with a video of some guy called Cedrick Harris sitting on his porch in Tampa, FL with a lake in the background telling me how he was going to teach me how to generate leads online.

So obviously I joined, and My Lead System Pro was in fact the missing link that I was looking for, an educational portal that would teach me how to tap into the power of the internet to build my business and the also supply me with the websites, lead capture pages, auto-responders, and everything necessary to capture and convert those leads to prospects and then to distributors.

Understanding key elements of the My Lead System Pro marketing system.

1.      Just do it! High volume lead generation is the only reliable way to achieve success in MLM and pretty much the entire future of advertising is online. So either learn it now or learn it later, but there is no escaping it. Marketing and training systems like My Lead System Pro can do just that for you.

2.      The Learning Curve: There will be a learning curve with the approaches you lean in My Lead System Pro, but it’s not rocket science, anyone can do it with a little study. The only trick is to not overwhelm yourself with too much information all at once and then try to go in too many different directions at the same time.  Start with one online lead generation approach, master it to the point of sufficiency and then add an additional approach and so on.

3.      Attraction Marketing Model: Systems like My Lead System Pro are generic and can be used to build any MLM company. Keep in mind that since you are not advertising your Primary MLM company’s name but rather are generating leads generically, systems like this are in compliance with any MLM’s rules and regulations no matter how restrictive.

4.      Funded Proposal: I love this part, with systems like My Lead System Pro you will actually make money as a result of your lead generation activities whether or not the prospects ever join your Primary MLM. This is probably the only marketing system you have ever used that will actually generate a positive cash flow if you do it right. The “My Lead System Pro” system  itself generates a monthly income stream when your prospects decide they want to use it and there are already several other affiliate income streams already built into the system so you don’t have to use brain cells to try to figure it out. In the early days of building your business, it’s quite possible that My Lead System Pro will probably throw off more cash flow than your primary MLM.

So, the question you are probably asking right now is…..

Is My Lead System Pro the missing element?

Is My Lead System Pro that critical part of the puzzle that is going to change the course of events in your MLM future and finally make you successful?

Well maybe yes, or maybe no…..

I guess the real magic is not so much in a sexy online marketing system like My Lead System Pro, that is without a doubt in my book the best of the online systems out there, but rather in finally understanding that success in Network Marketing is a numbers game of the highest magnitude.

In my book trying to achieve success in a business model where 50%++ of the people drop out and even fewer still have the drive to treat this like a real business, by simply making a list of your friends and family and then trying to beat them into submission to join you in the business, is a little like taking a knife to a gunfight, your chances of survival or success are slim.

However once you learn the law of “large numbers” and then embrace using leveraged marketing tools like “My Lead System Pro” that can do the heavy lifting (and sifting) for you then you are on the right track.

Once you are on that path there is little doubt once again that the future of all advertising is pretty much online, and systems like My Lead System Pro can give you not only the education you need to understand what you are doing but also the technology to leverage your marketing efforts.

Think of it like this, there are by last accounts 1.7 billion people online as of Sept 2009, now can you imagine just for a moment being able to reach out and touch just the smallest fraction of that traffic and direct it to your business?

Pretty exciting thought isn’t it.

So it’s probably time to start learning what you need to, so that can be part of your future.

So your upline told you that  all that “Online MLM Marketing” stuff doesn’t work.

Humm…..

What is it a about Online MLM Marketing and lead generation that really tends to annoy upline leaders in the world of traditional network marketing.

I am talking about those leaders in the MLM upline who are supposed to be there to support and encourage you to higher levels of performance.

I mean it seems kind of strange since if you learn a new skill like Online MLM marketing that will ultimately make you a power recruiter capable of bringing multiple new team members to the table every month, it would obviously boost their check.

So it should make them really excited right?

Wrong.

So why do they fear and hate it?

There are actually some pretty good reasons.

The biggest one  is of course that they fear what they do not know or understand.  They are a MLM leader and of course they can’t advise you on what they don’t know. I have been there also, with 23 years of MLM marketing experience I have worked with and trained a lot of distributors and I know the annoyed feeling you get when some rebellious downline veers off on a tangent with some odd ball idea.

I wrote about this in my review on Attraction Marketing. It was this same circumstance that caused me to investigate generating MLM leads through online MLM approaches using the attraction marketing model and sent me headlong down the rabbit hole into the world of Online MLM marketing.

However it’s not always just a lack of understanding that tick’s them off, there are many people who are Network Marketing leaders who actually do understand a little about Online MLM marketing and they are still negative on it.

So what’s the deal with them?

Well to put it simply they fear “evolution”.

Yes I know that statement probably did not make any sense to you. What does evolution have to do with network marketing?

Well of course I am not talking about monkeys becoming men, but rather the natural evolution of your Network Marketing business model once someone becomes involved in the world of Online MLM marketing.

Especially when it involves “funded proposals” and “affiliate marketing” as discussed in the Magnetic Sponsoring Course

Maybe evolution is not the correct word here.  It’s more like a shift in perception.

Online MLM Marketing – A Change Of Focus

You see in the world of traditional MLM marketing we go out and spend our time branding the company, the “Mother Ship” so to speak, as the end all be all of all opportunities.

If you have been in Network Marketing before you know this marketing focus well.

We position the company as the chance of a lifetime, that unique opportunity that will change your life and your finances forever, and all we have to do is recognize the sheer magnetite of the opportunity and hitch our proverbial wagons to the deal and our financial success is assured.

Wow, I really wish it was that simple but of course you know it’s not.

So let’s talk evolution

Online MLM Marketing – Branding

Once an Network Marketer becomes involved in Online MLM marketing they quickly learn that you don’t brand the company, or even lead with your MLM company, rather you brand yourself.

The Online MLM marketing focus is generic, never mentions the company, and focuses instead on giving your prospect useful tools to help them be successful in the pursuit of their MLM business with whatever company they are with.

You brand yourself as kind of a MLM marketing coach.

Now if you are brand new to Online MLM marketing and you feel your current level of skill does not qualify you as coach material, then you brand yourself as a messenger of opportunity but the opportunity here is leaning Online MLM marketing.

So there is a major shift in focus away from your primary Network Marketing company.

Now the goal of your Online MLM lead generation effort is in fact the same, you want to sponsor people into your network marketing company, but you lead with an online MLM marketing system as the front end product and market your primary MLM company as a back end product once you have developed a relationship with your prospect.

You get many more leads this way, and you become a much better recruiter for your MLM because once you have developed a relationship with your prospects, they now know you and trust you and are much more willing to listen to what you have to say about your deal.

Now as you push leads through your Online MLM marketing system you begin to generate a cash flow from your lead generation efforts by using a “funded proposal” and exposing your leads to various affiliate offers for training or tools that have to do with Online MLM marketing success.

So there you are after a few months or so generating leads and your Online MLM marketing business is throwing off a cash flow from your affiliate offers, and oh yes you are now sponsoring more people into your primary MLM company than you probably ever have before.

But wait now the real shift occurs, as you become successful you begin to realize that it’s really not the company that is the golden opportunity, the power is in the marketing.

You slowly start to realize that you could be successful with any MLM company you choose.

Now the ultimate shift occurs.

Most Online MLM marketing and lead generation systems such as My Lead System Pro  have multiple affiliate income streams built into them, and so you get checks from several companies each month.

Then one day as you are opening up your checks, it just kind of hits you……

the “Ah-Ha” moment!

You realize that your primary MLM company is really nothing more than just another affiliate income stream. True it’s probably the only one that has a residual income stream attached to it, but still its only one more business income stream that you now measure by an entirely different yardstick.

The spell is broken…..

Need an instant recap?

You see in the past all the power was vested in the network marketing company, in the deal to end all deals, we were simply the messenger of opportunity and our mission was to spread the word about this once in a lifttime……

Yada Yada Yada…..

Once you realize that the power is in your ability to bring leads and recruits to the table without ever mentioning the company and that you have the power to put them in any deal you choose…..

Well let’s just say it’s a sobering moment.

So back to the original issue.

Why does your upline hate Online MLM marketing?

Now you know, it removes the spell of control and you are no longer under their power.

Look you are an asset, a  foot soldier in the battle of financial independence.  Having an army that does not blindly follow you is a problem for a leader.

They realize that they no longer have any control over you at all. That if the company future does not play out the way you want, you can leave and have your choice of multiple other MLM opportunities, and you are going to take your group with you. Let’s face it there is no lack of companies or opportunity in the MLM universe.

This is exactly what you see with top Network Marketing leaders who build huge organizations, they are not totally dependent on any company, because the power is in their skill and they have an army behind them which they could move to any company they might choose.

The bottom line here?

Being a top recruiter gives you incredible power, it’s worth the learning curve.

And once you are on the path, take out that yardstick and start measuring.

Now one final point here, you have probably heard that evolution is a constant process, not a static event.

I will point out that this distributor mindset evolution does not necessarily stop here. It can also carry people from working with Standard MLM’s into the world of  Top Tier MLM but that is another story for another time.
