00:00:07hi I’m Evan Carmichael and welcome to
00:00:10another video edition of ask Evan in
00:00:12today’s episode I’m going to answer
00:00:14question from one of our readers Joey
00:00:16who is in the network marketing business
00:00:18and is having a hard time getting the
00:00:20business off the ground so the question
00:00:22here is my website is WVW online
00:00:25entrepreneur skill calm the website is a
00:00:27first posted by carbon copy pro Worman
00:00:30I’ve been an affiliate for nine months
00:00:31with without anything to show for it I’m
00:00:34grateful for any assistance you can
00:00:35offer to bail me out of these doldrums
00:00:37thank you so I first glance at the
00:00:40website it looks like a very generic
00:00:42site I don’t see anything personalized
00:00:44around you so it’s all kind of
00:00:47promotional content which can be great
00:00:49to get people to sign up but at first
00:00:51what I think you want to do is try to
00:00:53build a relationship with your readers
00:00:55so I try to tell your story you haven’t
00:00:58had much success yet with the program
00:00:59but maybe you could talk about why you
00:01:02started why did you sign up for what was
00:01:04the appeal what was the interest and
00:01:05tell a little bit about you when were
00:01:07you from and your background and people
00:01:09like hearing that they want to see that
00:01:11it’s personal they like buying from a
00:01:13person and not from you know a standard
00:01:15corporation so I try to incorporate
00:01:18those elements as much as you can in
00:01:19beyond just having this static page
00:01:22that’s you know corporate promotional
00:01:23material that stuff still has a place
00:01:25and will help convert some of the people
00:01:28over to wanna sign up but first I think
00:01:30you need to build a relationship with
00:01:32the people who are coming to the site
00:01:33and make them get to know you a little
00:01:35bit more before they’re going to take
00:01:36the next step to want to sign up and
00:01:38move on the next thing I would try to do
00:01:41is look for people in the organization
00:01:43who have had success and try to model
00:01:45their strategies so first I would look
00:01:47in your upline and see if there’s
00:01:49anybody who’s had tremendous success and
00:01:51see what you might be able to copy from
00:01:52them but generally with any network
00:01:54marketing organization they have list of
00:01:57who the most know successful people are
00:01:59in the organization and quite often
00:02:02those people are pretty open to wanting
00:02:03to share
00:02:04their success they’ve had success and
00:02:06entrepreneurs are usually pretty open to
00:02:08wanting to help other entrepreneurs who
00:02:09are genuinely interested they don’t want
00:02:11to waste your time and give you a bunch
00:02:12advice and then see that you don’t do
00:02:14anything with it but if you’re genuinely
00:02:16interested in wanting to build a
00:02:17successful company then the you should
00:02:21will really want to help you out so I
00:02:22try to tap some of the top people in the
00:02:24organization and see how they’ve done it
00:02:26pick their brain and try to copy some of
00:02:28those strategies as well the third thing
00:02:31I recommend is trying to build a
00:02:33following so I don’t know how you’re
00:02:35relying on people getting to the site
00:02:37right now but I would try to build up
00:02:39the following through the website and
00:02:41also through social media so people
00:02:43become attached to you and when they
00:02:45come out check out the site they’re more
00:02:47likely to want to sign up and go to the
00:02:49next step so you could create a twitter
00:02:51account and create a facebook account
00:02:52you can start blogging and talk about
00:02:55the things that you’re really excited
00:02:57about passionate about some of the
00:02:58reasons why you started this business
00:03:00and some resources that you find
00:03:02interesting and helpful and exciting for
00:03:04you and help motivate you and inspire
00:03:06you all that kind of stuff is really
00:03:08useful and you’ll start building up an
00:03:10audience of people who like hearing from
00:03:12you and even if you’re not promoting the
00:03:14content you’re saying hey is something I
00:03:16found really interesting and exciting
00:03:17and if there’s enough of that useful
00:03:20content out there then people will want
00:03:22to start following you and they’ll then
00:03:24be curious about what you’re up to and
00:03:26they’ll check out your site and the more
00:03:27they like the content you’re producing
00:03:28the more likely to want to sign up as
00:03:31much as they can so I focus on whatever
00:03:34medium you find easiest so you know if
00:03:36you’d like blogging if you’re really
00:03:37great at typing and creating great
00:03:39content go with the blog if you’re you
00:03:43know not that great at typing but you
00:03:44still want to get involved in the
00:03:45written language then you go with no
00:03:47Twitter if you’re really great a video
00:03:49it on YouTube combine all of them if you
00:03:51can but try to start building the
00:03:53following try to add a lot of value add
00:03:55information so people want to follow you
00:03:58they want to learn more about
00:04:00you and the more likely to then sign up
00:04:01and take that next step with you instead
00:04:03of just having that static page so I
00:04:05hope that helps I hope you can follow
00:04:07some of those steps and get out of that
00:04:09nine months slump and start building a
00:04:11business for everybody else if you
00:04:13enjoyed the video please give it a
00:04:15thumbs up and we’ll create more of them
00:04:16and love to hear it constant feedback if
00:04:19you want to leave a comment below and
00:04:20stay tuned for the next episode
