Are You Doing Business By Shaking Hands Online

We all understand the importance of doing business properly which means shaking hands with your prospects, you may be asking yourself how can you do that electronically through a computer??

Let me tell you exactly how to do it from your very own home computer.....

First of all you need to register with an online community now there are various ones such as MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL and many more which can all give you access to millions of prospects online that you can effectively promote your business opportunity too.

I reccomend AOL the reason being is that it is one of the internets oldest and easiest to use online services with more members than most online communities therefore giving you access to more prospects than your business may well be able to handle. Once you have registered with your community in this case assuming that it is AOL, you must then start to create your member profile.

Now your online profile has to be as interesting and targetted as possible, it should contain information such as your full name, world location, age, hobbies, occupation and your skills. On your profile you must provide as much information as you can provided you also keep it relevant, the reason being if you have a bad profile people are not going to want to chat however on the other hand if you have an extremely interesting profile you will get a much better response from your prospects.

The time has now come to perform a search in the member directory in order to find prospects. The ways in which you can do this are simply by entering the location, interests, age or sex of the type of prospects you are looking for, the more information you provide during your search the better quality of prospects you will find.

Once you have filtered through your search results you must then send your prospects an instant message some good hook lines that have been tried and tested by me are listed below.

"Hi there I was just taking a break at work when I did a search of the member directory and I found your profile, you have a really good one"

"Ive just been looking through your profile and I noticed you play golf I also have a very keen interest in golf"

"From reading your profile I can see that you swim alot Im currently working as a lifeguard"

"I see you currently work in network marketing so do I, how long have you been doing it for?"

After starting a conversation with your prospects you may well eventually get asked the question is this network marketing?

Below are some replies which i currently use....

"What is your understanding of network marketing? Do you know much about it?"

"Do you like network marketing?"

"Have you ever tried network marketing?"

The most important thing to remember is even if you do not promote your business during your early conversations with your new prospects you will however have built a relationship with them and can then follow up with them on a regular basis and build a certain level of trust also, when they log online you must wait around 5 minutes before sending them any instant messages.

How to Be an Online Marketing Genius

Think online marketing is hard? It's not. All you have to do is be yourself. Learn to use stories from your own life and social networking to become an online marketing genius. "Genius. It is just attention to something specific. That's all it is … so anyone who gives attention to any subject for a period of time will evolve in the direction of that understanding." -- Abraham-Hicks

Most of us wish we were geniuses but almost none of us feel that we are. Society tells us that the Einsteins of the world come along maybe once in a generation.

But you are a genius – we all are. At what? At being you. And that may be enough to help you create online success. Why?

Ever look around on the web and find that most online businesses are, well . . . boring? Loud? Obnoxious? And definitely unappealing? Ten-page ads are NOT appealing. Empty promises of making thousands of dollars in a few weeks – appealing, but not very realistic. This mass of unappealing web content is the result of people trying to be the model of success – but these people have forgotten to be themselves.

At the other end of the spectrum, look at what's really a success online: social networking. MySpace, YouTube, Facebook. What's that all about? These sites are about people being themselves. They show themselves as they really are--grungy, attractive, silly, sad, and smart by turns. Other people are really attracted by that authenticity.

Some MySpace users have over 1.5 million friends. Count 'em. Yup, I said millions. What are they doing? Nothing but putting a spotlight on who they are. They are geniuses at being themselves, and that attracts.

You are also a genius at being you. So if you want to attract people online to your business, be the genius that you are. Don't hide your personality under a bush or cloak it in a lot of "expert" bull-pucky. Express yourself!

Whether you write articles, author a blog, put up a page on MySpace or post a YouTube video, the germ of success for you lies in your own genius.

The age of the guru is over. The age of "people like me" is here, now. People want to interact with people like them, people like you.

Whoever you are and whatever you're situation, write about it so people can connect with you. Connecting is as simple as letting people know not just who you are, but how you are. Describe your situation and BE HONEST. Are you a mom stuck at home dealing with dirty diapers and toilet training but longing for some time and money for yourself? Then say so. If you haven't washed your hair in three days because you don't have time to, but you really want enough time and money to hire a babysitter, dress up for a few evenings of adult conversation and wine … then blurt it out!

If people can have 1.5 million "friends" online talking about their most recent fight with their boyfriend or a bad day at work, just think of what you can do with your home-based business by just being you? Blog, submit articles, write reviews, set up a business website, get a MySpace page … whatever. Just don't lose your personality along the way.

As Coco Chanel, the grande dame of fashion, once said:

"How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone."
