Are You Branding Yourself Like an Idiot?
Ok, I’ve got a confession. I’m a big cheater. I steal and copy and borrow from… well… the high income earners online. You see, I didn’t become a ‘guru’ (and I don’t plan to) but I started to succeed when I started to emulate the Big Boys of this industry.
I read as much as I could from the MLM Giants who were using all of the most modern techniques. I studied their sales pages, their courses, their articles, and more…
And when you are surfing around the internet, your bound to find the footprints of the great network marketers…
But you’re also going to see people marketing their business in the TOTALLY WRONG WAY!
Here’s what I came across that REALLY irked me… I was browsing forums and mlm blogs (a nice place to start sprinkling your domain name in your signatures) and I noticed sooo many newbies to this industry making themselves look, well, like NEWBIES!
Here’s what I mean…
If you leave a comment in a blog, you can set your name to link to a URL. Like, if you put ‘Adam Holland’ under the NAME field and ‘RevolutionProfits.com’ under the URL field… your comment may look like this:
>>blah blah.. here’s my comment..
and if you click the name it will go to the URL… But what URL is the real question. Some people are using URL’s like:
fireyourboss.blogspot.com/forums/3994r/dhfjhwo/fkhkdf/optin.html
I mean, does that look even REMOTELY professional? First of all, it’s a free blog url… You mean to tell me that with your SIX FIGURE biz opp, you can’t scrape together $10 to buy a domain name? See what I mean?
If you’re going to be a multi-millionaire, you first need to present yourself as that professional… as someone who knows what they’re talking about… as a leader… Not as a cheapskate or ‘corner-cutter’…
INVEST in your business KNOWING that you’re going to make six figures… per MONTH… someday, and you WILL.
UPDATE: Immediately after writing this blog, I checked out my Google Reader for RSS updates on other blogs I like to read. One of them is Shoemoney (an affiliate marketer who’s no-bs, downright honest commentary is something I love to read). One of his latest posts is: 10 Reasons Why Your an Idiot
2) blogspot.com domain. If your trying to sell me something or convince me to work with you and your website is somethingspammy.blogspot.com odds are ive already hit delete. Its one thing to start out on a free host but even scoble eventually figured out he needed his own domain to quit looking like a amateur.
I love it when you’re on the same page as another marketer… :o)
