Doing online MLM is one thing. Doing it with your sanity intact is quite another.
That’s why, if you are going to promote your MLM business online, you need “da plan.”
“Da plan” is an organized, effective, and productive approach to online MLM that produces results with a fixed amount of effort weekly.
What will a plan do for you? Here are just few benefits to consider.
Having a plan will:
- prevent you from losing hours of your life reading oddball tweets
- keep you from feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed, thus accomplishing nada
- make you feel like you know what you are doing (even if you don’t, yet)
- give you actual hard target goals to aim for, which are in reasonable reach
- break tasks down into itty-bitty pieces so you can promote even on days when you are suffering from serial brain farts
Da plan is sounding pretty good, right?
So What is in the Online MLM Plan?
You have to decide for yourself exactly what goes into your own online MLM plan, but the basics remain the same:
- adding content to your blog or website
- promoting your content to various social media sites
- creating and maintaining relationships on social media sites
- submitting content to various directories
- commenting on other people’s content
There are a lot of ways you can mix and match the items from the list above to match your personality, time limits, budget constraints, and, let’s not forget, mental capacity. Try to do too much in online MLM marketing and you will lose your sanity, guaranteed … and fast!
Creating Your Own Online MLM Plan
Once you’ve figured out the pieces that are going to be part of your online promotion, the next thing is to create a plan. The plan can actually be quite simple, and be nothing more than a checklist.
For instance, suppose you wanted to keep things simple and chose only the following marketing avenues for your online promotion effort:
To create your online MLM marketing plan, all you have to do is create a checklist that might look something like this:
Mondays and Wednesdays
- research and write a blog post, which includes researching facts, links, and keywords (45 minutes)
- get on Twitter and respond to direct messages and mentions (15 minutes)
- retweet at least twice (5 minutes)
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Tuesday and Thursdays
- post the blog content written the day before, including appropriate tags, categories, and pictures (15 minutes)
- ping your blog to let blog search engines know you have a new post (2 minutes)
- submit your article to EzineArticles (15 minutes)
- get on Twitter and respond to direct messages and mentions (15 minutes)
- retweet at least twice (5 minutes)
TOTAL TIME: 52 minutes
Friday
- use Follow Friday on Twitter to follow at least 25 new people (20 minutes)
- respond to new messages and mentions on Twitter (15 minutes)
- retweet at least twice
- plan your editorial calendar of blog posts for the following week (25 minutes)
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour
Da Plan is a Checklist and Timetable
As you can see, an online MLM plan isn’t all that complicated. It breaks down your online marketing plan into segments that take roughly an hour per day. That’s not much. Of course, most of this is outgoing communication on your part (aside from answering messages and responding to mentions on Twitter).
Aside from this timetable, you also have to set aside time to answer emails and phone calls from prospects and downline members. You need to schedule extra time as well for attending trainings, reading books, and basically increasing your knowledge of the industry, your company, your team, your niche, and your products.
But, you can use the same approach for these kinds of tasks as well. Just add to the checklist you have already started for your outgoing communications. No big deal.
See how having a plan can make online MLM marketing so much easier and more manageable? It’s important to create and work from a plan, and to teach your people to do the same.
Why? Because insane people are very hard to work with!
