5 Tactics for Your MLM Blog You Wanna See
Me and the fam went zip lining yesterday, stay tuned for the video!
Are you running an MLM blog but just not getting any results? If you are serious about getting more network marketing leads and sales, read on for these tactics you probably have never heard of.
Why Should You Have an MLM Blog?
Honestly, not everyone should. If you are NOT going to be consistent, these tips will not help. Also, if you are comfortable prospecting offline, talking to friends and family and getting good results with that, stick to that, THAT is what everyone wishes their downline would do AND what works fastest. I created my MLM blog to start attracting the type of people into my business that I wanted but at the same time, also did home and hotel meetings and actually prospected online and offline.
Can Your MLM Blog Bring you Network Marketing Leads?
Um, yeah! A guy said to me a few weeks ago that he wasn’t sure if he should start an MLM blog due to him not having a list to send the blog to…I quickly informed him that I started my MLM blog to BUILD my list.
With your blog you can attract whoever you want, your blog does NOT have to be written for other network marketers, it can be for realtors, etc. If you need help with this concept, read the article and all the comments on this blog post of mine ==>>Defining your Target Market.

5 Marketing Tactics for Your blog
1. Be strategic with your pictures. You can use your pictures to frame your content and to subconsciously get your visitors to want to read or look at your MLM blog. Be aware if you have any pointing or eyes looking in any picture you use and make sure the pointing or eyes are looking toward your content, not away from it.
2. Be aware of what picture shows up when you post on Facebook. Again, if there is pointing, you actually want it to point or look toward the right as that is where your link will be. On Facebook the picture always shows up on the left, if your picture has some sort of arrow or pointing to the left, it is graphically suggesting NOT to click your link. (little things add up)
3. Have a signature that allows people to connect with you. My blog used to ONLY allow people to optin to my form but didn’t give them access to contact me directly if they wanted to, make sure you don’t make that mistake as you may get people that just wanna skip to the chase and reach out to you directly and quickly.
4. Drop the social media icons. Before you lose your head and say “Wait a minute Ray, all the guru’s told me to put it on my blog!”. I learned this from Chris Brogan, one of the top bloggers in the world. He accurately summed up social media by saying it’s only purpose was to build relationships to eventually get more people to your website or mlm blog. Well, now that those visitors are on your blog, why would you tempt them and send them away from exactly where you want them to be? You want them to STAY on your blog as long as possible as it boosts your statistics with google and increases the chances they will optin or buy something.

5. Become a content creation machine. OK, this MLM blog tip you may have heard already but I cannot stress it enough. Attending events and watching live webinars is the fastest and most powerful way. However, DON’T just attend as a consumer, constantly think “How Can I take this info and regurgitate it on my blog?”
Here are two things I highly suggest to help with step 5:
1. IF you are in Florida or even close, this event that I am putting on is one of the most intimate AND cost effective events you will ever attend. The Pro Marketing Summit
2. Tonight my friends are doing an entire live webinar on Generating and Converting Network Marketing Leads. Rob Fore is THE best SEO dude for MLM Blogs, him, Daegan Smith and Todd Falcone are going to crush it tonight and you can attend for Free by registering at this link.
Hope these 5 tactics help you in your quest to get massive leads and traffic with your MLM blog, if you are a blogger, be sure to comment below on which one you agree with most.

Thanks again Ray, I recently incorporated my email address in my signature line so that people can connect directly with me. I used to not have anything there but our signature and you are the one I heard this from and it made complete sense. See you in Orlando!

Ray,
I must say that I was surprised by tip number #4 “drop the social media icons.” However, every your explantation it totally makes sense. That you want your blog to be your primary tool to build relationships online. I always struggle with where to place pictures in my blog posts so thanks for the tips.

Hi Ray,
Creating content like mad is a quick way to draw in targeted leads. Make sure to SEO out each post, and you are good to go. Smart tips here.
We have so many blog post ideas to expand upon. It’s called “being alive”, or having experiences to recount. Pick just 5 stories you can re-tell from your day today, and make a correlation between your experience and your online business.
I also provide full contact information in my sig. Some folks want to connect with you immediately; give them the option.
As for social icons I too remember Chris’ post. I keep social icons on one of my blogs but dropped them from the other. Little mixing going on there.
Thanks Ray!

Yeah, I agree with this.
The pointing thing I’d never heard of before.
Once you give value to prospects they’ll not only continue to visit your blog, they’ll also tell others about it.

Hi Ray, I totally agree with you that your main objective is to keep your visitors on your blog as long as possible. Point them to other places or posts on your blog but never to a social media site. I am finding that when I am inspired to write for my blog it comes in spurts. I write for a few days in a row then I lose motivation. Do you write all your own stuff or do you outsource some of it? If you do outsource can you point me to a good site? Thank you!

I write my own blogs, lots of people out there that will write them for you but cannot personally suggest anyone

Ray that was a very informative blog thank you. I will tell you what I just became a MLSP member and all the webinars and everything on the back page that you have I have learned a lot all ready. When you talk I listen. So thank you for that.

Hi Ray, I am a relative new comer to the blogging world. Like you, I do offline propsecting and meetings as well. Persoanlly, I feel that it is the most powerful way to work our MLM. As you rightly stated, it is the FASTEST way to grow the team. I love your point 5, "How Can I take this info and regurgitate it on my blog?” is such a great habit to develop. I will follow your "Ray Way" (as described by Debra

Thank you for Ryan Biddulph’s idea in expanding this practical tip! He is one of the most consistent bloggers that I admire
Your tips cover how we can do online blogging right. By doing the right steps, the (good) outcome will come as a natural consequence
Just DOING; NO STRESS. Isn’t that cool?

Hi Ray,
once again thank you for this valuable information. Number 4 was a suprise. I don’t usually click on the social media icons, but I know several people who do. I will definitely use these suggestions, especially number 5. I have a growing and hungry team right now and being able to regurgitate helpful information will encourage them immensely. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the reminder, Ray. I updated my blog based on the feedback you gave me last week and forgot to deleted the social media links from my sidebar. I’m going to take care of that right now and then review my notes again to make sure I’m implementing all the other things we talked about. Someone asked on my FB page if it’s a coincidence that “Ray Day” and “Pay Day” rhyme. Clearly the answer is “NO!”
Best,
Dave

First I’d like to thank you for all the information you provide in webinars and on your blog. I pay close attention to what you say and implement to the best of my ability. I have just started taking what I am learning in mlsp and other places and turning it into content on my blog. This actually works well with my learning style I retain the information better when I read my notes again then type them up for the blog.

Nice Post Ray. I like to call it email blogging. It’s great when you can build your list from your blog and then get more traffic from your list to your blog haha.
Awesome stuff.
My list is almost to 4000 people on my fitness site. WOOHOO

Great insights Ray. Your blog layout is rarely static and always seems to be evolving. In fact, I’ve watched your blog change as you’ve learned and implemented new things you’ve learned along the way. Perhaps your next product could be called “Dynamic Blogging” or “Evolutionary Blogging”.
