How do I set up my own online marketing site?
The very first thing you need to set up your own online marketing site is a domain name. A domain name is also known as a URL or website address. I register and host my websites at GoDaddy and I recommend them highly because they make the next steps so much easier.
After registering your domain name you will need hosting which will be offered to you from GoDaddy after you registered your .com Hosting is space you rent on a server that stores the content that will be displayed on your website.
Now we are getting to the scary part, how do you build a website when you may not know HTML, the programming language, used to design websites. You have two options here and I will recommend the 2nd one.
The 1st is WYSIWYG software. This stands for “What YOU See is What YOU Get” software. If you can drag and drop, copy and paste and type an email you have the capability to build a website with this software. There are several versions of it from free to very pricey. Microsoft Expressions is a good, DreamWeaver is also highly rated, just do a search for some and you will find plenty. Here is a link to a free one that I use from time to time called NVU and also GoDaddy offers one but I have not used it so can’t give an honest opinion about it.
The 2nd is by using the Word Press platform and I will recommend that if you are a newbie you start here. You can get a free site and free hosting and heck you don’t even really need a domain name at wordpress.com but I don’t recommend that but instead go to wordpress.org and download the software and host it yourself. I like to control my site and not have to worry that the people hosting wordpress.com can take my site down if they don’t like it.
If you have chosen GoDaddy to host your site and you have chosen to use Word Press to build your site then you’re going to love this. When you login to your GoDaddy hosting account and click on applications you will see Word Press listed. You click that and choose your domain name and the good folks over at GoDaddy will install the software for you.
Then you just login to your Word Press site and starting placing content. The look and design of your website is very easy to change inside your Word Press dashboard. If you would like some custom looking headers I can do those for you (for a small fee of course) starting around $35.
The best part about using the Word Press platform is there are so many plugins that are free that will make your website work and do things that will blow your mind if your new to building a online marketing site.
I hope that helps let me know any questions you have on building your own site leave a comment below and I will do my best to provide the solution here.
Why should I have my own online marketing site?
Dear networker if you’re asking that question you have finally realized that the replicating website your MLM company has provided to you is usually nothing but a digital brochure describing the products, services and staff behind your opportunity. It is most likely not designed to fulfill the fundamental task that tactical online marketers try to do every day which is to generate leads and create additional income streams.
Your goal with an online marketing site is to attract your target market, other networkers, into leaving their contact information in exchange for some valuable content that you provide to solve a problem that person may be experiencing with his or her business.
What are the two fundamental problems every networker has? Not enough leads and their typically spending more than they earn. If you are like me I enjoy presenting my companies products and services to potential customers and/or distributors because I loved them myself and I feel strongly about what we are trying to accomplish for our customers and we both agree that owning your own business is the only way to get ahead so everybody should do it right? But also if you’re like me I hated the three foot rule and walking around stores hunting “sharp people” aka decent looking strangers down and ambush them into an F.O.R.M. conversation. You know the whole Family, Occupation, Recreation, Money conversation that eventually leads you into getting their phone number because you are expanding your business in the area… Now granted I hate it but I became good at it which will be another article at another time but I knew a better way had to exist.
So here are the basics of how you strategically attract more leads and money your way with your own online marketing site. You research, implement, and report results, on your website, solutions to issues that people in the MLM Industry face every day. This presents you as a leader and a “Go To” person and people are simply drawn to those who know where they’re going and have the gumption to move ahead. Now I can hear you asking; why would I want to attract other networkers that are already in a business? Because they are already sold on the industry and if they begin looking for another opportunity to promote and you have provided them so much help they will seek you out to join your team hence you have become the hunted instead of the 3’ hunter.
One tactical must have is a opt in box on your website, you know that form that asks for your name and email address. You want your website visitors to leave their contact information for really juicy information that solves a major problem. This adds them to “Your List”. The list is the most powerful thing you can own because it’s a list of people interested in your niche and are willing to spend money on tools and resources that will solve their marketing problems. When you recommend such products most have affiliate programs with them that allow you to earn a commission by referring someone to them which provides you a secondary income stream from other networkers who are currently not interested in joining your primary company.
