To Twitter or Not To Twitter that is the million dollar question. Is it worth spending hours of your life learning how to leverage twitter? Then spending many hours of your day building and keeping a following on Twitter?

If you haven’t yet heard of Twitter you need to … here’s a quick crash course.

What is Twitter?

In a nutshell Twitter is a micro blog platform where you can post blog entries of 140 characters. There is no limit to the number of blog entries you can make on a daily basis.

The Magic of Twitter

Prior to Twitter to be an effective marketer on the web you needed to have a lot of money to spend on PPC or you needed to build a list.

Never before in the history of the internet can you openly access other peoples lists.

To do this you simply sign up for a Twitter account and build your followers list. This can be a time consuming process. However it doesn’t have to be.

Uping the Anti with Twitter Automation Software

Do you want to Super-Charge the way you build your Twitter followers list? All above board without all the time and effort?

If you answered yes then Hummingbird the new Twitter automation software from Mesiab Labs is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. Yes Hummingbird does cost a few dollars and Yes you could actually perform some of these tasks manually yourself or outsource them.

However when you consider the time it will save you and the extra dollars you will make because you can build multiple lists or build a presence now for your business before the “pack” arrives then it is well worth the price tag.

And lets not forget the inconvenience of Twitter deleting your account for no apparent reason. If this happens all your hard work is lost and you have to start all over again. Hummingbird will warn you if you are stepping outside the Twitter guidelines and modify your behaviour.

Whats Unique About Hummingbird Twitter Automation Software

There are a number of things I particularly like about Hummingbird software so you don’t set of alarms at Twitter for “unappropriate behaviour”

• It will remember those users you have already stopped following or deleted from your followers list
• Manage the removal of non followers [important to break through the 2000 follower barrier]
• Remembers your VIPS so you don’t accidently delete them [people you want to follow who are likely never to follow you - celebrates or famous people]
• Automate gathering followers by keyword or user without exceeding Twitters guidelines [if you don't have much time you'll love this]
• Manage all aspects of multiple Twitter account managment as described above

E-mail messaging remains the bread-and-butter of online network marketers. A good autoresponder service is extremely important and makes a marketer’s life a lot easier.

Follow up is very important as it takes, on average, 7 visits to a website (or 7 exposures) before a prospect decides to purchase. This is why many online network marketers have a series of follow up letters set to send to potential customers/buyers or prospects.

Autoresponders and Attraction Marketing

The attraction marketing model suggests that only 3% will join your primary business. Autoresponders are essential for sorting out the 97% who will never join your primary business but allow you to still profit from them through the follow up process.

This is why it is now commonly accepted that it is much more important to promote your capture page and build a list of subscribers than it is to promote your product website.

Which makes setting up your autoresponder campaign the most crucial step towards making money as an internet network marketer.

So How Does A Properly Set Up Autoresponder Help You?

• saves time by automating the follow-up process
• boosts profit by closing more sales
• builds credibility by being consistent with prospects
• beats your competition: 90% of businesses do not follow-up with prospects
• builds loyalty by communicating with your customers

There are basically three types of autoresponders: desktop type, locally hosted (server-based) and third-party services. The first two types will require you to install some software either on your hard drive or your website server respectively. There are many paid and free autoresponder packages like this available on the Internet.

While you maybe thinking it is a great one time investment to purchase one of these autoresponder packages think again. The biggest disadvantage of these is that they are very prone to getting blacklisted, especially if you are bulk mailing and using no-opt-in-required setting.

Once, blacklisted your e-mail will no longer be delivered to your prospects. Being on a blacklist is a real pain in the neck and it is almost impossible to get taken off this list. Let me tell you from first hand experience that being placed on a blacklist is devastating and does result in losing sales and/or sign ups. This alone is a sufficient reason to pay the monthly membership fee for a reliable third party autoresponder service.

Third Party Autoresponders

A reputable Third-party service eliminates the possibility of your email address getting blacklisted because of spam complaints. Apart from that a well-run autoresponder will also have these features:

• High deliverability (or delivery rate)
• Ability to personalize group emails
• Easy and automated subscribe, unsubscribe, and duplicate check functions
• Easy to set up capture pages linked to the autoresponder
• Controlling multiple mailing lists from one control panel
• Each campaign can handle a large number of subscribers
• Ability to add your own custom fields to your forms
• Ability to import existing leads
• Cycling prospects through all your different campaigns
• Use of simple tracking codes to see which of your capture pages works best
• Spam-check to make your messages more spam filter friendly
• Ability to track links within your messages for click-through rates

After trying many of the mainstream autoresponder services I finally settled on Aweber. They have the best delivery rate and features for the serious professional online internet network marketer. Their customer support was second to none. Best of all they are consistantly coming up with new ways to keep me and my team at the cutting edge of technology.

One feature my new team members and I love is how I can easily transfer [copy] my proven follow up campaigns to them. This allows them to get up and running FAST as they usually don’t have a proven prewritten follow up email campaign.

As your team grows significantly like mine has done you will appreciate having the ability to “Blast” a global message out to your downline with confidence. and see statistics on whether it was delivered and opened.

2. Video Marketing is another fantastic way to brand yourself as your the people watching and listening will see/hear you. YouTube is just one of many sites you can upload your video. Internet users spend more time viewing video’s online than any other internet activity. This means your video has the potential to be seen by thousands of people. It’s a great way to get people to join you in your business because they get to met you.
3. PPC or Pay-Per Click Advertising is the quickest ways to get leads. Switch your promotion on and the leads come flooding in. Yes you do have to pay but you can really target the best leads possible by advertising on sites like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. If you have dollars to spend and are time limited PPC will allow you to get instant results.

If you are serious about building your downline, I suggest you explore each of these methods to see which one gels with you. Then consistantly work at it until you know it backwards. It’s the best way to grow your business.

Now you have the answer to your question, of “How can I get leads for my network marketing business“, you’ll need to get into action to expand your downline.

Over the years people have called me a complete dork for reading my quotes and affirmations out loud each and every morning. Little do they know it’s one of my secret tips to success.

This is very real. There is no hocus pocus here. It’s scientifically proven that the subconscious mind is powerful. If you choose to use them consistantly each and every day you will be more successful - I promise.

Here are the quotes I recently added. Write these down say them out loud each day until they are part of you. [I grant you permission to copy and plagiarize]

• “Self esteem is everything. The no-BS belief that I deserve success!”

• “All men are very much alike. It is their habits which separate them.” [You Ladies are not off the hook for this one either haha]

• “Time is the irretrievable element. The most important choices made will be how I use my time.”

• “I will never punish myself for any mistake made out of enthusiasm.”

• “I will cut all ties with dishonest or negative people daily.”

• “People will only treat me like how I TEACH them to treat me. Nothing more. Nothing less.”

What do you think of those?

Hope you just wrote them down for yourself,
