Blogging and the Triangle of Trust

People do business with people they know, trust and like.

How does this translate to your blog, the center piece of your online marketing efforts?

When you develop relationships with people offline, you do so with a give and take sharing of information. The connection builds through the sharing of value, ideas, experiences. Your blog allows you do the same thing online. Relationships are developed with your readers and if you offer them delightful tidbits that feed their needs and their soul, they will come back again and again to hear what you have to say.

Learning how to be a good blogger is crucial to a successful online presence. You can be excellent at PPC (pay per click) and other forms of advertising, but you lack an online home if you don’t have a blog. People want to know about you. They want to feel good about the person they are doing business with.

Often I’ve clicked on a PPC ad, and landed on someone’s opt-in page. What do I do then? I search around to try and find out who owns and page. I google them and see who they are and what is the essence of their message. If I like what I see, I go back to the initial landing page and opt-in. If I don’t find a blog where I can get a feel for the person, chances are I won’t opt-in to their list.

You may have heard me talk about my friend Ann Sieg. Of all the Ann Sieg & Deborahstrong leaders in the online network marketing world, Ann stands out for many reasons. She is a mature woman who has raised her children with many of the same values that I bring to my family. She is sincere and steadfast in her convictions. And she is an intelligent and powerful business woman. I always enjoy our conversations, whether in person or on the phone.

I like this video that Ann just sent me about the power of blogging. I think you’ll like it too.

What’s the BIG DEAL re: MLM Launch Formula?

Launches are coming at you a mile a minute these days..and MLM Launch Formula is one of them. What really is going on with all of these launches?

It’s a good and necessary question for any serious marketer to be asking. Each time we are confronted with the “next best thing” in terms of a program; a launch; a course; a training, etc…it has the potential to distract us from the laser focus that is needed for true income and success. On the other hand, the very best trainings and courses also have the potential to skyrocket our efforts through advanced ideas, techniques and information. One has to be discerning, and yet the very best marketers make it hard to turn away.

What’s been happening in the industry is that many more people are beginning to realize that you need to eventually marketing your own product and to do so through some type of “launch”, in order to make it into the big leagues. Even if you are content to keep things to on a smaller level, creating your own information and training products allows you much greater leverage of your time and energy as well as a better branding platform all around. This is not new advice. Ann Sieg spoke about this exact thing back in 2007 when The Renegade Network Marketer was first published.

Katie Freiling recently had a phenomenal launch with her Unified Tribe, Community With Purpose. She has become a rising star not only because of the UT, but because of the true value she provides to the entire industry through this Collaboration and Syndication platform. Katie recently wrote a wonderful post about how and why to create a rocking launch scenerio for anything you want to bring to the market place.

The very best course I’ve ever taken in this industry,

Make Friends with Keywords

You either love them or they drive you crazy. But keywords are the lifeblood of an internet marketer. Pick the right ones and your content comes alive, indexed by search engines and read by many. Pick poorly and you might as well place your hard work in a dark closet, for all the visibility it is going to have.

Keywords are the things that people search for when they are looking for a particular type of information. That’s the simple part. The harder part is that simple keywords have an incredible amount of competition. Large companies and powerful bloggers with huge followings have grabbed onto most of the more simple keywords and the little guy or gal does not stand a chance in that competition. But do not despair. There is hope.

Start with a list of words and phrases that most accurately describes what your content is about. Play around with different versions of the same idea, for instance: work at home moms, moms working at home, how moms work at home, be a work at home, how to be a work at home mom, etc…. I like to go ahead and “google’ the different variations just to see what my competition looks like. I also pull up the pages that come up in the top five or six slots and take a good look at the other keywords that they have chosen. You do this by clicking on “view” above your browser bar and scrolling down to “page source”. I add these words to my list if they make sense.

Now the real fun begins. Read more

Meeting Ann Sieg

This past weekend I had the honor of meeting Ann Sieg at the Renegade Professional Live Event in Portland Oregon. As a Renegade Professional Super Guide, my perks included a special super guide dinner. In the world of synchronicity, there are no accidents. I was late to dinner due to a sore back and a friendly chiropractor (which turned into a business JV..another story). So when I arrived they were short a seat for me and pulled over another small table. All of a sudden I was sitting at dinner across from Mike Klingler and next to Ann.

Deborah with Ann SiegWe had all met the previous evening and had experienced a wonderful day of speakers and business information. So dinner became a more casual event, trading personal stories and family adventures. It turns out that Ann Sieg and I have similar values when it comes to raising children and their education. It was wonderful for me to meet her and connect up close with another powerful, intelligent woman who had created her success based upon her world view and value system.

Meeting Ann Sieg was a delight. I have no doubt that future interactions with her will yield benefits for both of us. Thank you Ann for all that you added to the Renegade Professional Live Event with your stories and your wisdom.

Got Synnd?

Social bookmarking and social media marketing has worked well for me and has been a staple of my online marketing for the past few years. Most recently though, my life became immensely easier and my bookmarking much more effective. If you’ve not yet read The Four Hour Work Week, put it on your list. It’s an impressive book and a very worthwhile mind-set, concerned with prioritizing how you spend your time and what parts of your work can be outsourced.

To that end, last week I began using a system called Synnd.  I rarely jump on much that comes my way online anymore, but this caught my eye due to the integrity of the person making the recommendation and the fact that Synnd claimed to be essentially able to outsource my social media marketing (which includes to a great degree, social bookmarking).

This is a True Success Story

This is a true Success Story:

When I was a new to network marketing I did what I was told to do by my upline. I contacted everyone I knew. I talked to anyone I met in the grocery store or the doctor’s waiting room. When I would get someone’s attention I became relentless–calling them , inviting them to meetings, checking to see if they had: read the magazine, listened to the DVD, consumed the samples, gotten on the conference calls, etc…And yes, some of the people who I hounded did join my organization and even made a go of creating an MLM income. But they were not able to duplicate what I had done with them. They did not have the tenacity of a pit bull and at the time that’s the method that I was told to teach them.

Fast forward a few years. It has been a long time since I have gone after a potential prospect. I still talk to people I meet if it seems appropriate in the situation, but after the first or second contact we only talk again if they make the effort. Most people in my organization have asked to be there. They have sought me out and asked to work with me. Recently I have been asked to be the first distributor in a wonderful new company. If you’ve been in network marketing long enough, you know that this is a coveted position.

So what happened in the intervening years?
