MLM Secrets - Your Company Website Is Pants!!

Do you want to know an MLM Secret?? Want to know why no-one is visiting your company website?? When my network marketing company finally got on the internet and gave us all a website, we were so excited. We expected it to boost our home business, because everyone makes lots of money online dont they? Surely people would find our website and become customers when they saw what we had. We even paid for a recruiting website ourselves, which we thought may get us a trickle of interested leads.

Traffic to go to our website never really entered our head. I suppose we thought that people would accidentally find our site and be so interested they could not help themselves but to sign up or buy products! Obviously we were giving our several hundred cards a week too, with the details of our sites on, so we were sure we would have results. And we did. I think at least half a dozen people put in their details. Unfortunately three of them were spam, as we now call it; idiots we called them at the time. And the other two were unqualified people who thought we were in the 'get rich quick' brigade!

But now we've got a secret MLM tip! Several years on, and with so much more experience of working on the internet, I regard these early attempts at internet marketing with a smile. We knew so little. Nowadays I find it amusing that MLM companies still give out these sweet little cookie-cutter websites to their reps. Of course, this is just a way of restricting what the website says. Obviously they do not want to be taken to court for their distributors over-zealous descriptions of their products benefits!

So my question to all you who are in MLM now is this. Do you realise that your company website is a waste of time? If you want to prospect online, you will need your own website or capture page. The problem is that search engines, such as google, hate company websites because there are so many of them all over the internet and they all have the same information. Therefore it will not rank them, so they never show up on the first page, where people might click on the link and visit your site. Search Englines prefer to have content which is original, and which is constantly changing. A replicated website is not like that. They have no new content, so will not rank highly.

Therefore if you are fishing around on the internet now, wondering how some people manage to sponsor other people online, your company website is not the answer. You need to learn how to set up a capture page to get peoples details, how to attract them to you in the first place, what to do with them once you have them, and how to get them to join your business. Basically, unless you have your own internet teacher, you will need to have a system which you can follow. Because believe me, there is a pretty steep learning curve. However it is certainly worthwhile, as you can totally explode the number of people you enrol into your business!
