Ok, so you may be asking “just what do these mega social sites mean to you and your career in networking.” All I need to say to that is to just log into

I tweet on twitter everyday and am proud to have that cute little bird on my computer. I have met some remarkable people on twitter and I am creating a great list of followers and isn’t that what we all want? It wasn’t always this way though. When I first signed up on twitter I didn’t have a clue what to do.  Luckily a few months ago I began to train with a leader who taught me the right way to use this magnificent tool and I will share that with you.

OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH TWITTER

When you do sign up please remember the importance of branding yourself.  There are rules to go by and please be sure to read those rules and abide by them.  Please remember, you don’t just pitch, pitch, pitch. As a matter of fact, after several months of being a faithful tweeter, I still do not talk about the MLM that is a part of my life.  That comes later after I build relationships and show just what kind of leader I am.   Here is a few pointers on what to do and what not to do:

The first thing you will want to do is go to http://twitter.com and sign up. 

* Follow people that are in your niche market- especially those that are new to it and are looking for a leader.

* When an someone follows you be nice and follow back- this is a really fast way to start Increasing your followers-shows you’re serious.                

* When you follow someone ALWAYS leave a message- chances are they will message you back.

* Got something of value to offer…then please share it- that is what it is all about, helping others help themselves.( You Will Shine).

 * Remember, you only have 140 characters to work with, so be precise and to the point.

* When you get a direct message then direct back to it- this is a fast way to get your link noticed by leaders that you may have missed.

* Once again, please do not pitch your business to everyone all the time…THIS IS SPAM.

 THE WORLD OF TWITTER

The world of twitter is huge and there are so many pointers to share that I could write a book (Not a bad idea for a free give-a-way), but for the sake of this blog I just wanted to give you a boost in the right direction.

Twitter and many of its followers have developed tools to help us keep up with our followers and what is going on in twitter world. I will do a follow-up to this blog after I research the tools of twitter and then give you the ups and downs of each. So until next time I want to see you all tweeting on TWITTER!

However, there are opportunities that are life changing if you are ready to do the work to earn it!  When I joined the MLM company that I am with      I had finally found what I was desperately looking for.  I was on my way, I had already beat the odds with building a small downline but I had ran out of my warm market and I knew that I had to find a way to build a business online.

BUILDING YOUR BUSINES ONLINE

I knew that I had to build my business through a cold market.  I have always been uncomfortable calling leads so I was in search of a new way of building my business.  I searched the internet extensively and finally ran across a book  that litterly opened my eyes to network marketing.  I finally learned the BIGGEST secret of all to building a MLM downline…PEOPLE JOIN PEOPLE NOT OPPORTUNITIES!!!

It was time to make a big change in my marketing strategies.  It was time to get Attraction Power!  Attraction power is one of the fastest growing online marketing stategies today.  Everyone knows that it is a lot easier to get someone to join your busines if you have built a trust, a friendship.  Branding yourself is crucial to any online marketing attempt.  So you ask yourself, “how do I brand myself”?  It is a lot easier than you think!  There are several things that you need to do to get “YOU” out there in cyberspace.

I was aware of a few things to get my business online but I just didn’t really know what order to go in or what steps to connect together.  Or at least not until I started training under a remarkable leader in MLM that had her own business on autopilot through network marketing and she tells all in her new book.  In this book you will find answers to  questions that you, like all other networkers ask at one time or another.  To get you started to building “YOU” online these steps are essential:

*building a list is the most important thing you will ever do in your career-    it  is Essential

*you must buy a domain that refers to “YOU”. Make sure  your keywords are in this domain, or use your actual name(remember people join people not companies!)    

*write blogs- create a wordpress blog, a squidoo lense,  an ezine article (this list can be endless so my next post will cover the ways to get your blog out there and at the top of the search engines)

*you will need a nice, catchy capture page leading to your blog-(you must capture the readers information in order to build that lists!)

*always, always, always offer something of value to your readers- such as f*ree ebooks, great advice and tips, free training (anything of value!)

YES YOU MUST WORK AT IT BUT IT IS FUN WORK

My dad always told me that if you want to go far in this life that you would have to work at it and he was absolutely right.  But what he didn’t tell me is that it can be rewarding and fun doing this type of work!  So the thing for you to do is get lazer focused and purchase your very own domain name.  Start putting content up on your very own blog to which that domain is linked.  In no time you will be driving traffic to your very own list!

So, the next time you hear someone ask this question, “Why can’t I get someone to join my opportunity?”  Just look at them and say, “people don’t join opportunities, they join people!”

To Your Success,
