Tweet Your Way to MLM Success with Twitter!
Anyone who is building a network marketing business on the Internet knows that building relationships and building lists of people are two main goals. These are part of the foundation of MLM success. On the Internet, we do this at least in part by social networking on sites such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.
Here I would like to focus on Twitter. Twitter is a relatively new social networking tool that works in a few different ways to let you keep in contact with and meet new prospects, associates and friends.
The first thing that Twitter does for you is allow you to ‘micro-blog’. Micro-blogging on Twitter involves posting tiny blurbs that are no more than 140 characters long (that's not much!). These short posts are called “tweets” and they can really make an impact on your success!
For those of us in MLM, tweets are an effective way to post a message that has the potential for reaching thousands of people! Tweets are a way of letting people know what you're up to, but for network marketers, the key is to create excitement and curiosity. So for example, you might start your day by tweeting something like this: Wow! Great day ahead! I’ve just published a new article to my blog! Then you would add a link to direct your readers to your site.
What you've done with a tweet like this is created a positive feeling, and directed your Twitter followers to something they can use. You've done some personal branding and helped create a feeling of trust in you. Your followers begin to think of you as someone who knows something and likes to provide value. You can begin to create a buzz about a new opportunity or product this way, too. Twitter is an excellent recruiting tool.
Twitter is also great because you can follow other MLMers. If you follow them, and they follow you back, you have two things going for you. By following other home business MLMers like yourself you'll see their tweets and get a chance to learn from them. If they follow you back, your face (if you've uploaded your photo), user name and messages will appear on their feed every time you tweet – giving you visibility to important people who can be very important recruits for your business. With Twitter connections will be made!
Something else that is very exciting about Twitter is that you can set it up so that it connects to your blog, and all of your other social networking accounts. What this means is that when you tweet, that tweet will appear on you blog – interesting for your blog readers! And when you tweet, your MySpace friends, your Facebook friends, and anyone else you've connected with via different social networking sites will see your updates! This is great for making sure that everyone knows what you're up to in your MLM business. You can also turn it the other way round. When you publish a new post on your blog, or post a new note on Facebook, they will also post automatically on your Twitter profile.
Now, the trick with Twitter is to remember that you need to add some humanness into your daily tweets and you need to participate. Sure, tweet away about your MLM business - but it's pretty important that you don't blast your followers only with that! They will get frustrated and dump you.
So, remember to add the tweets like this: Whew! Just finished running two miles – that ought to burn some calories! Or maybe: Just finished watching the funniest episode of ......! You get my drift, right? Be a friend and let your followers see that you're interested in more than just your MLM business.
Likewise, be sure to tweet to your followers and the people that you follow. You can comment on something they tweeted about, or say a quick good morning. You can also send direct messages if you intend to start a conversation.
In it's early days, Twitter got some bad press. People were saying it would never last. Now it's one of the most powerful networking sites out there, being used by everyone from A list celebrities and TV Channels to the little ‘you and I’ users to communicate with friends! It's definitely different, and that's part of its charm. So go ahead, sign up for your own Twitter account and start tweeting. Follow the gurus and get your face and name out there. Connect it to your other social networking sites and you've got a recipe for MLM success!

Using the Power of Squidoo Lenses to Grow Your MLM Business
Squidoo lenses are one of the most powerful ways that you can gain attention for your business opportunity.
Up until a few years ago, Squidoo wasn't even heard of. Heck it wasn't even live and available to the world until 2006. Now, it's a powerhouse for social marketing! The growth of Squidoo has been phenomenal. But what is it? What's it all about?
As I mentioned, Squidoo is a website for social marketing and social networking. It's for sharing information of all kinds. Some people share information about their favorite foods and recipes. Some share information about dog breeds. Some share information about businesses.
Squidoo offers a very unique way for an entrepreneur to promote his or her business – by publishing Squidoo Lenses. Squidoo lenses are wonderful single page websites that anyone can build. Lenses can feature articles, photos, recommendations, reviews, polls, blog feeds and a lot of other helpful tools.
By creating an interesting and informative combination of these features and tools you are able to show the world, in a very interesting way, what your business is about. Lens creation isn't difficult, and most people consider it fun! If you don't have the time or don't feel you have the creativity to create your own lens, you can hire someone to do it for you (make sure you hire someone with experience and a good reputation).
What else is great about Squidoo? Joining Squidoo is very easy and you can get to know people who are like you – who share the same interests or maybe work in the same type of business as you. You can also link your Squidoo lenses to your website or blog and you can set it up so that every time you update your lenses, a tweet is posted on Twitter. Squidoo is one of those networking sites that really does connect you in a lot of different ways.
And here is one of the best things about Squidoo – Google loves Lenses! If you create a great lens, chances are, you will eventually find it ranked on Google! More recognition and traffic for you!
If you really want to make an impact, you can create several related lenses on Squidoo. You could create one about your MLM opportunity, one about your own MLM journey, one about products, one that offers tips and techniques for owning a successful MLM business. The list could go on and on – use your imagination and think about what your potential recruits or customers would like to see and read.
So, let's sum up, shall we?
Squidoo should be part of your business marketing plan because it's easy to join and to get one or many lenses up and running quickly. It's a fantastic way to meet people who are interested in what you have to offer, and it's a great way to meet people who are working in MLM and who are willing to share ideas and information.

Facebook Puts the “Network” Back in Network Marketing
A favorite network marketing recruiting website for many people is Facebook.
Facebook really is all about networking. You can connect with friends, both old and new and build different networks of friends based on the things you have in common with them.
Aside from using Facebook to connect with friends, which is what many people use it for, you can also use it to create groups of friends, or to join groups that are built around your love of network marketing and MLM and a common desire for success.
Facebook is easy to join and allows members to create a profile that will give friends a comprehensive snapshot of you and what you're about. One of the features of Facebook is a “news feed” that is added to each time one of your friends changes status or does something like makes a comment or adds a link to his or her profile. This allows you to keep up with what your friends are up to and it alerts them to what you're doing.
To network on Facebook with other network marketers and MLM professionals your best bet is to connect with like-minded people through Facebook groups. You are likely to find several MLM and Internet marketing groups on Facebook that appeal to you and you can join each of them if you like. This gives people a way to see and get to know you and for you to get to know other marketers.
The point of joining groups on Facebook is to interact with other group members. You can learn from them and they can learn from you. A lot of good-natured idea and information sharing goes on, which leads to every participant having more resources for success. But you need to go beyond the groups in order to really benefit from Facebook networking.
Start to make “friends” with other group members. You can do this by going through group list and inviting individual group members to be your Facebook friends. One way to accomplish this is to go down the list and simply request each person as your friend. You can choose to send them a message along with your request, which is helpful if they don't already know you. But don't send the exact same message to each person – you'll be accused of spamming by Facebook and risk losing your membership!
Once your own friend list begins to grow, you might want to separate your friends into lists so you can keep track of them. For example, you can create a family list – that's where your family will go (obviously). Then you could create a college friends list, or a church friends list or whatever, and of course, you will want to create an MLM friends list. Eventually you will be able to post a new link on your profile and it will be seen by hundreds of people within a day or two.
The beauty of it is that you have the prospect of gaining new friends each time you add a friend to your list – they all have friends that you might like to connect with as well! As you can see, networking through Facebook is easy to do, and it has the potential for growing your list of connections by leaps and bounds!
