Network marketing is big business, and it’s big business with little requirement from you financially.
If you compare what it takes to start a traditional small business to that of a network marketing business, you’d see MLM is very low cost, with no risk.
With a network marketing business, you can walk away by simply cancelling your month autoship order, whereas a traditional brick and mortar you’re left with a lease, merchandise, resentful employees, etc.
I’ve been an internet marketer since 2011, and nothing else pays like network marketing, especially as passive, residual income.
If you never want to do another three-way call, hotel and home meeting, and make a list of your 100 friends and family to pester for your MLM, I don’t blame you.
In fact, when I joined MLM in 2014, I blocked my upline on my phone.
I just wanted to build my MLM like an affiliate marketing gig, just sharing my links and getting commissions.
So, when I found a way to completely automate MLM, I was ecstatic.
I wanted the residual income MLM offered without the pain of hand holding new distributors and going to rah rah network marketing events.
Want to join a network marketing opportunity, but don’t want to get wrapped up doing rah rah events with your sponsor?
Or do three-way calls all day?
Or talk to everyone around you and get hung up on?
Me neither.
What I’m about to tell you might piss off some old-school network marketers and be a little controversial. . .
I haven’t done any of that stuff (for 5 years now) and I make six figures a year in network marketing.
I don’t even use Facebook.
95% of my network marketing business is automated.
Here’s how it all began in 2014. (quick story, promise)
I was an internet marketer, mainly promoting affiliate marketing products through Clickbank, a digital marketplace where you picked digital products to promote online to earn a commission.
Problem was, there was no recurring income in affiliate marketing. Most of my sales were one time.
Then, I kept hearing these success stories about these network marketing leaders who were making over $100k per month.
I couldn’t believe that was possible. Some were even high-school dropouts making way more than doctors and lawyers.
I wanted in – all in. . .
So, I spent the very last $80 bucks on a credit card to get started.
I didn’t really know how network marketing worked, but I knew it involved people and I was a terrible introvert.
So, I awaited a “sponsor” to call me so I could ignore the call. I then went right to Twitter with my new, company-provided website links and tweeted away.
Then, I found a way to automate a direct message to people who just followed me on Twitter using a software app, called Crowdfire.
The message went something like this:
“We’re looking for success-driven individuals who want to make extra income from home, click HERE.”
The message worked and I got leads whenever someone entered their name and email on the landing page.
I got my first signup a week later, so I increased how many people I followed on Twitter so that they could receive that automated message.
Thus, my MLM automated system was born!
I just had to follow people on Twitter to get leads.
One time, I was bummed out because business was slow and I asked my upline (not my sponsor) what I should do.
He simply said: Generate more leads.
Ahhh! Now, I get it!
More leads equals more upgrades, which equals more income!
So simple.
Over the next couple years the Twitter technique dried up but I got my leads up from 10 a day to 30 to 50 a day with other techniques.
My main objective was generating massive leads so that my company’s autoresponder (series of emails to the prospect) would close them.
That’s all you need to do when you are in an awesome automated network marketing business.
So, here’s the Easiest Formula to Automate Your MLM for Six Figures:
One – Find a network marketing business that has a built-in autoresponder that emails your leads for you, and pays a high commission, like 35 to 50%.
Two – Master a Lead-Generation technique that can bring you in 20 to 100 leads a day – consistently, doesn’t stop. (I only give my team the secret lead generation mojo)
Three – Teach your new affiliates that join you the same exact system you use to generate those leads.
Four – Repeat.
Of course, you’re going to get a majority of people join your business that do absolutely nothing and that’s normal.
You’re only after the top 3%.
They will make up 80% of your income, so you really only need 3 to 5 rockstars to make you six to seven figures a year.
So, the objective of this MLM game is shucking a lot of oysters to find a couple pearls.
The faster you can shuck the better.
MLM loves speed, which means if you stop building your business just for a week or two it takes a ton of energy to get it moving again.
It’s like a snowball that starts to get bigger as you push it or melts and breaks apart if it sits still.
So, as you can kind of guess what’s going on here – leads are your business.
Get good at generating leads and you will make bank.
Also, make it real easy for your new team members to generate their own leads and so forth.
So, where can you generate automated leads?
Here’s a quick video where you can get clicks to your landing page to generate leads. (If your not in a home business yet, check out our business HERE)
The places I mention in the video are pretty good, but might run you $1.00 a click. That doesn’t even guarantee a lead.
Experiment with different lead sources.
My favorite place to generate leads right now are classified ads online.
I show my team exactly how to run ads to get the most leads and signups.
For people who work from home part-time this could mean a very nice tax write-off, fyi.
If you don’t have a lot of warm market (friends and family) to bring into your business, you have to promote to the cold market, aka strangers.
Your family won’t make you rich in MLM, but strangers will.
You never know who they know. . .
How to Start Your Team (sounds brutal to old-school)
Like I mentioned, I’m not about rah rah parties when I get a new team member.
I don’t do shoutouts for them on Facebook. . .
I don’t get them calling their friends as I hover over them. . .
I don’t make them go to a weekend event when they rather fish. . .
I don’t get them walking around the mall passing out business cards. . .
I get them generating automated leads so they can work one hour a day and spend the rest of their day doing the things they love.
I send all my new members the exact formula to generate leads within the first 10 minutes of them signing up.
The ones who follow the easy instructions start to generate leads within the hour.
MLM is about easy.
I don’t do anything else.
I help my team generate leads and tell them if they get a new signup to send the exact letter I sent them when they signed up.
I don’t call or do anything else after I send the letter.
The new upgrade has to take action.
If they disappear and I don’t hear anything after I send the welcome letter with the technique, then they are gone.
I don’t cry or call them asking what happened.
I only work with those who are working and reach out after the welcome letter.
I get all the new members who are generating leads into my contacts on my phone so I can text.
This gets me off the phone. I hate the phone and am on it less than an hour a day.
That’s why I am the MLM automation king.
I want hands off. I’m sure you want hands off also if you’re a busy like I was working two jobs.
Quick tip:
Get team generating leads and signups ASAP. . .
Get your team a paycheck and they stick around.
Teach complicated systems and more people will quit.
Teach easy systems and get more duplication and people staying in longer!
Duplication creates leveraged income which is nicely summed up by the quote from John D. Rockefellar:
“I would rather earn 1% off of a hundred people’s efforts than 100% of my own efforts.”
This is leveraged income at its finest and is what allows the leaders in network marketing to make astronomical amounts of money, like $150k a month or more – legally.
There’s no income cap in MLM – the sky is the limit, but you have to build up a team before you can sing that song.
But hey, is your job paying you anything close to that?
If so, how many hours a day do you work?
You either have no money and no time, or you have some money and no time.
MLM is the only business where you can keep getting paid over and over for work you did one time – years ago.
How is this possible?
You bring in someone who then builds their own business and brings in a few thousand people over the next few years.
You get a commission for all of their sales, even though you didn’t personally recruit them.
We can get paid down 10 levels in our business.
I get paid on people who bring in people I don’t even know!
Once you get paid a fat residual income check from a team you hardly know it’s rather intoxicating.
Rockstar intoxication without the drugs. . .
Who is Automated MLM For?
Entrepreneurs willing to invest to make 5X Returns in 2 to 3 years.
Busy moms with only one hour a day for business.
Working dads who hate their job.
Old-School network marketers looking for a new hybrid MLM
Social media gurus with large followings. . .
Affiliate marketers looking for residual income
High school dropouts looking for a legit, doctor’s salary
College dropouts and college graduates not happy with their chosen profession. . .
Actors who are waiting tables instead. . .
Math geniuses who are substitute teachers. . .
Artists who understand now why artists are broke.
You get the point. . .
This is a legitimate OUT for you, whatever your situation is. . .
When I started network marketing in 2014 I was already an internet marketer. I was experienced in promoting affiliate offer links on my social media, mainly Twitter, and made money when people bought the digital products.
But, affiliate marketing missed something: residual income – a check that came in every month like clockwork when people re-ordered a product. See, with affiliate marketing it was mostly one-time sales, no residual income.
Network marketing was affiliate marketing on steroids because you could get paid for many months off of one person and get paid on everybody 10 levels down from you. I fell in love with MLM and will never go back to a regular job.
When I started my network marketing business in 2014, the last thing I wanted was a loud, extroverted upline calling me and telling me what to do. I was already doing alright as an affiliate marketer just posting affiliate links on social media and making some money.
I wanted to apply that same kind of marketing to network marketing without doing home parties, hotel meetings, and bugging everyone three feet around me!
I soon discovered that network marketing had evolved a lot since the days of Amway. I could just promote my company-provided MLM websites on social media and make money!
