Copyright 08-01-2004 by Gina Novelle at www.thirdpocket.com I’ve been self employed for 18 years, so marketing is not a new issue. My technology expertise has always been extremely easy to market. Last year, I decided to open an MLM business part-time. This type of business enables me to “make money while I sleep.” My other business is one that must be worked on a daily basis, and is rarely slow!
I was about to embark on a complete attitude change regarding marketing. In my technology business, everyone wants to hear about
products, new ways, faster ways, and enhanced training. However, minute I discuss products of an MLM business; doors shut; I get banned from web sites or I get a blurry of e-mails, saying all same thing:
“No MLM Advertising Allowed” “MLM Posts Will Not Be Permitted” “Your Products Are Deemed to Be an MLM, and Your Advertisement Has Been Deleted”
Therefore, I went on a mission! I researched web pages for a number of months, and discovered there are web sites that allow you to advertise. These sites do not have moderators, angry e-mailers, and “NO MLM POSTS policies.” At first, I was skeptical, expecting a nasty e-mail after I made my first post. No e-mail was received, and my ad appeared on site exactly as entered, with a bonus. My web site was a hyperlink, not just a text line.
So I went to next one in my list. This time, I was braver, and typed a full size ad of my MLM’s brochure. It also appeared on site, exactly as I typed it? I checked both of ads for several days, still expecting some reprimand; none came. On my third day, I went all out, and even added an animated graphics. Wow, it worked too!
