#6. Make your prospects a priority: It's not about you, it's about them. Focus on marketing so you can attract the right people who need your help and solution(s).

#7. Change your mindset: Develop a positive mindset so you can treat your business like a business and be able to overcome any challenges that you may encounter along the path to success. If you treat your business like a hobby it will cost you money :(

#8. Change your language: Stop pitching your business opportunity and products/services on your family and friends and everyone you bump into. Develop a compelling marketing message. Share how you help people to get the results they want.

#9. Invest in personal development: Keep teaching yourself so that you're constantly growing and improving as a person and sharing the skills you are acquiring with the world. Find a mentor or coach who has achieved success and learn from them.

#10. Build a compelling and distinctive brand: What do you want to be known for? There's so much competition online and it's important to rise above the noise. What sets you apart? Build your own brand and shine on. Having a likeable personal brand is the key to success if you would like to rise above the noise and attract people to you.

#11. Build an amazing online presence: For your potential prospects to find you, you need to put yourself out there, allow them to get to know you and to get more information about what you do. Be everywhere and promote yourself!

#12. Project the image of a confident leader: How you present yourself online is a very important part of being a leader. You want to come across as a strong and confident leader. Your prospects will believe in you and trust you.

#13. Be authentic and transparent: Don't pretend to be someone you're not or adopt the "fake it until you make it" mentality. Be transparent in everything you put online, written or spoken. People are searching high and low for an element of personality that stands out from the crowd – you need to give it to them.

#14. Be unique: There is only one you, take advantage of that and stand out from the crowd. Don't be afraid to express your personality.

#15. Be yourself: People only see you as you see yourself. You are your best self when you are being yourself. Don't complicate things. Ground your content in who you are. Don’t be afraid to have a point of view.

#16. Create a blog: A blog is your most important marketing tool to build your brand and credibility as well as to attract prospects to you. You'll need to promote your blog to get maximum exposure and to generate unlimited traffic.

#17. Position yourself as a leader: The more you follow top leaders, the better your output will be. And your output is what people follow. Learn from them and implement. Exude leadership qualities and build a loyal following.

#18. Establish yourself as the expert: Become a "go-to" person and a resource in your niche. Very powerful when people come to you with burning questions, knowing that you'll point them in the right direction.

#19. Be presentable: First impressions last. Paint the right picture in your prospects' minds. Use your best pictures, even if it means getting them professionally done. You want to be perceived as a leader with confidence, who knows what s/he is doing and who can help people solve their problems.

#20. Build relationships: Network marketing is a people's business. Focus on building relationships, then the rest will follow. People buy from those they know, like and trust.

#21. Share your results: People always want to know the specifics, the results. Tell people about what a product or system has done or is doing for you, not just its features. It's all about the results they can get if they join you or buy from you.

#22. Become a rapport builder: The key to having people like you is to build rapport with them. It's easier to relate and connect with people who share the same interests and aspirations as our own.

#23. Increase your value to the world: Learn your market and lead with value. Share real value freely. Stop talking about your company, products and services. People don’t care about them, they care about themselves.

#24. Have a passion for helping others: If you don't like working with people or you don't love helping people, then network marketing may not be for you. You gotta have passion and this will show in everything you do.

#25. Do a keyword research: For your content, which represents you, to be found and read online, you need to do a proper keyword research. You need to attract people who are searching for what you're offering.

#26. Be clear about your ideal prospects: Make it clear in your marketing about who you are looking to work with and who you wouldn't accept. Let your prospects pre-qualify themselves.

#27. Hang out where your ideal prospects hang out: Find out where they network, the websites they visit etc. and join the party -- speak their language. Ask your prospects which social networks they are using, and meet them there. Do not spread yourself too thin across all the social media sites you can find.

#28. Attend marketing events: If you don't stay on top of your game, then your ideal prospects will find someone else who does. Get informed on the latest marketing trends and propel your business to the new levels. Keep sharpening your axe!

#29. Give people what they want: When your offer matches your prospects' needs exactly, they will keep coming back for more and even recommend you to others.

#30. Share your "Why": People want to know why you're doing what you're doing. Their "Why" may be the same as yours or they may not even have identified it yet. Your "Why" can inspire people to follow you.

#31. Give without want: Learn to give endlessly without expecting anything in return. Give as much as you can give, don't hold anything back. Share everything you know, even your very best tips, for free. Go out of your way to show your prospects exactly what works - this will shorten their learning curve and you'll become a prosperity magnet.system-image

#32. Find a good marketing system: When you drive traffic to your business through a system, you will attract more prospects. And if your system is set up to qualify the prospects for you, sorting out the tire-kickers, you'll only get to talk to the serious ones - saving you time.

#33. Get the right marketing training: You need a platform to train you on all the cutting edge marketing techniques, if you want to stand any chance in this highly competitive market. Learn how to get your message across and attract people to you.

#34. Show people what you are doing: Your prospects want what you have. So, show them how you run your business and how you get your results. Share your daily planner, your goals and achievements.

#35. Generate your own leads: When you have plugged into a proper marketing training, you'll learn how to generate your own leads. Buying leads is a bad idea, it's for suckers and they meet a lot of resistance. How do you approach people who have not expressed any interest in your offer?

#36. Prove to your prospects: Present the undeniable proof from your existing customers and team members that you can solve people's problems and help them achieve their goals. Testimonials can inspire people to follow you.

#37. Make your offer hard to resist: Offer your prospects something they would do anything to get. Also make them aware that they may return the product for whatever reasons, no questions asked. People like solution-driven and “no-risk” purchases. For example, give people money back guarantee for 30 or 60 days.

#38. Do interviews: Get in contact with the industry leaders online or at the live events and interview them! When you put the interview recordings on your sites, you build credibility. Your prospects will not only benefit from the content shared but will also associate you with those other successful people and get attracted to you.

#39. Don't mislead people: The worst thing that you could do online is to provide misleading information. Always validate your claims, you want to build trust, not break it.

#40. Build trust: People buy from those they know, like and trust. Work towards earning people's trust - it's a huge factor. No trust = no sales. :(

#41. Promote yourself: You have to remember that everything starts with YOU. What sets you apart? You need to showcase your personality, skills and talent.

#42. Create and offer ebook/report: You don’t need anything big and complicated. A simple ebook/report that people would be interested in, will work well, as long as it's packed with value.

#43: Do free consultations: Offer your prospects a free consultation with you about a topic that they would be interested in. For example, "how to recruit more reps". Do this for a limited time, to instill urgency.

#44. Use a specific date: When offering a product or bonus, use a specific date and let your prospects know that the offer will not be available after that date.

#45. Hold free webinars: Do regular webinars so you can connect with your prospects, share your story and answer their questions.

#46. Put a price tag to your products at the right time: If you have been offering great value for free, your prospects will know that your priced product will be just right for them.

#47. Tease your prospects: If you're selling your new product, give your prospects a sneak preview - people love them! For example, if it's a video series, you can offer the first one for free. If it's an ebook, you can offer the first chapter for free.

#48. Use pulling landing pages: Get straight to the point, showing specific benefits and real life results. Make it easy for people to leave their personal details by placing an easy form above the fold and by reminding your potential prospects that there is no risk - they can unsubscribe at any time.

#49. Share your amazing story: People either identify and connect with your story or they don’t. Have a live presentations imagestory that’s worth telling. Sharing your story of how you got involved in your business, how you worked your butt off and transformed your business and life, will attract people who are where you were before and now want to be where you are.

They will be confident that you will be able to help them since you overcame your challenges and became a success story.

#50. Over-deliver on your promises: Exceed your prospects' expectations by over-delivering in everything you do. They will not look anywhere else as they know you never disappoint. And if you are in the habit of over-delivering, any mistake on your part would be easily forgiven and forgotten ;)

#51. Use a personal approach: Stop hiding behind your company's replicated websites. They don't work! They don't promote you in anyway and turn people off. Show people how YOU can help them.

#52. Offer a bribe: Relax, nothing illegal here. You can use an ethical bribe to entice people to sign up to your list, such as a free ebook, report, e-course, video or audio series.

#53. Commit to excellence: Always strive for excellence in everything you touch, going an extra mile. Your content and profiles represent you online, so make sure it's a true reflection of who you are and your high standards are not compromised in any way.

#54. Develop your USP (unique selling point): Who are you? What makes you tick? Why should anyone follow you? What are you strengths? What's your speciality?... Only you can answer that!

#55. Let your voice be heard: Don't be afraid to express yourself and to raise your opinions. Of course, you need to do this with some respect, without being rude to people. Ensure authenticity and consistency of your voice across your entire online and offline presence.

#56. Use social media: Almost all top brands are now using social media networks to get more traffic, leads, and conversions. What are you still waiting for? Social media offers great "word of mouth" advertising. Create social media buzz and get raving fans. Don't miss out!

#57. Do contests/competitions: People are always interested in contests/competitions. Start with free entry ones and then do paid ones at the right time. Give away prizes of value and interest to your prospects. For example, $100 and a top-notch blogging course.

#58. Do product give-aways: Let other people give away your product(s), ebook or report or even bundle it for sale with other products. Your product will promote you instead and attract prospects to you.

#59. Be accessible: Give people multiple ways to contact you. Attraction Marketing is all about getting people to contact you interested in what you have to offer. So, make it easier for them to do that.

#60. Be responsive: How often do you send emails to internet marketers whose list you have subscribed to without a reply but they keeping sending you automated follow-up messages? Be different! Respond to your prospects' emails (within 24 hours) and comments on your blog - very important. Your prospects will always be appreciative of that.

#61. Be helpful: Be willing to help people when they need help. People follow leaders who have their best interests at heart, who go out of their way to help them. When you care about people, you'll help them.prospecting-image
