Almost all network marketing companies provide their independent business owners with company websites that have their name, email and telephone number on them. Whenever I see one of those poor souls sending prospects to their company’s website it makes me cringe. If you want to get really serious about making money online you’re going to need a better website.

Your company website should only be used to sign people up. Never as the first impression a prospect gets of your business. Here are the top 4 reasons why you should never use your company website.

1. Information Overload!

Almost all company websites have a bad case of information overload. These websites want to tell prospects everything from the compensation plan to details about all the products to company policy.

When dealing with prospects simplicity is key! The prospect doesn’t need to know everything about everything on the first glance. Sending them to a more focused and simple website with income testimonials and a really good video will be much more effective.

2. No Domain Name!

Sub domains stink! www.TheNameOfMyCompany.com/Bob is just simply not as effective as www.MyDomain.com. It’s not easy to remember and it makes you look like an amateur. If your prospect doesn’t know anything about you beforehand they defiantly won’t be impressed after you send them to a sub domain.

3. No Personality!

A company website doesn’t show off your personality. At best all it has is your name, maybe a small picture and a phone number. That’s not enough. You want your website to look like YOU. A company website simply can not do that for you.

4. No Way To Capture Information!

The most important reason why you should never use a company website is that there is no way to capture your prospects information. You always want to have an opt in form where they give you their name and email address before they get the good info. That means that if they go to your website and don’t sign up right away you can still market to them via email. If you don’t do this you’ve lost them forever.

That alone can cost you tens of thousands of dollars!

Now that you know the truth you never have to lose sales to a crappy company website again. Create a memorable and effective squeeze page and start signing more people up instantly!

How To Build A Lucrative Prospecting List

You’ve probably heard before that “the money is in the list” but what does that really mean? It means that the more people you have on your marketing list the better chance you have of signing up more people and therefore making more money in your home based business.

It is true that the money is in the list… so how do you build a giant prospecting list when you’re just getting started in your home based business? Or perhaps you’re not new to MLM you’re just new to the idea of list building. Either way, this article is designed to show you how to build the largest list possible in the shortest amount of time. Because the money really is in the list!

The first thing you’re going to want to do is set up a squeeze page. Squeeze pages are used by almost all serious internet marketers and they allow people to take a look at your website and business only after they give you their name and email address.

Some squeeze pages have lots of information the prospect needs to enter but really all you need is the first name and email. Many people aren’t comfortable putting in their phone number, address, or anything else and if you ask for it you won’t get as many opt-ins.

Once you get an opt-in they should be allowed to access your website and get the information they need. They will also be put into an auto-responder. An auto-responder is a program that sends out emails for you. This allows you to be doing other things for your business while the auto-responder markets to your prospects for you!

When a prospect is ready to talk to you personally they will pick up the phone and call you! This is the best thing in the world because you know they are really serious about working from home!

If you aren’t currently using a sqeeze page you need to get one, it’s the best thing that can happen to your online business. Many marketers use multiple squeeze pages in order to get the most opt-ins possible.

Another way to grow your list in a big, big way is by giving something away for free. People love free stuff I mean don’t you? By creating your own product (usually like a free report or an ebook) and setting up a website to give it away for free your opt-in list will grow by leaps and bounds! You’ll also of course have to make sure the product you give away is something that has to do with working from home that way your prospects will be targeted.

Don’t worry about bugging people with your emails because at the bottom of every email your auto-responder sends out there will be an opt-out link. That way the only people who stay on your list are the people who are really interested.

Finally, once you’ve set up your free product page and your business squeeze pages you’ll need to promote, promote, promote! If you don’t promote your websites only nobody (or very few) is ever going to find them. Use free sites like network marketing forums, twitter, myspace, face book, you tube and article websites to get the word out about your pages and you’ll have tons of free prospects in no time!

Follow these easy steps and you’ll have more prospects than you’ll have time to talk to in a day! Remember, your list won’t grow overnight or without some serious promotion but if you’re looking for a cost effective way to have lots and lots of people to talk to this the best method out there.
