Hi there,
Long time no blogging!!
There is good reason why I have been absent at my own party!
My friend and colleague Justine Simard and I have been collaborating on an exciting project for a few months now. Our new project is SpunkeBusiness and although I've mentioned it before, we are now officially launched.. and ready to inform and assist with great free training around building a network marketing empire around a personal brand and some good old home truths about the network marketing game.
So how can SpunkeBusiness help you?
SpunkeBusiness is a free membership site that aims to assist network marketers restructure their network marketing operation around a personal brand. Now more that ever, a personal brand is a necessity if you are to be successful moving into 2012. Justine and I have proved this… We have both been successful across two top tier online businesses, but got tired of seeing our partners and team members failing.
"The truth is that just following the system like the company tells you generally doesn't work (and most companies know this)."
Think about it!
How many network marketing gurus are actually out there promoting their business upfront? Don't most attract huge numbers to their name, generally around an area of expertise… not just a blog about their life…but real value (and not crappy PLR material either!) and then have a subtle link to lead people into their business opportunity. They never really promote what they do… this is Personal Branding and this is the future of network marketing.
"Top producers in the network marketing industry do it differently and have done for years; they brand themselves and then leverage their primary business opportunity off that personal brand."
Justine and I really witnessed this when we changed our primary business earlier this year and without any promotion, we achieved Global Consultant of the Month in our third month. We realised that the personal brands we had build around our performance in our previous business meant that we have willing followers.. and already, SpunkeBusiness has created effortless sales (and we're talking profits between $1 and $10K) without any phone calls or prospecting from us. This is how you want your network marketing business to operate for you…not the other way around.
And what happens if your company folds… as my friend Sue Smart commented the other day, "we've had the goal posts moved so many times.." meaning, you can build a formidable downline, only to have that taken away from you… suffice to say, Sue now has a strong personal brand!
SpunkeBusiness houses great free training around just how to go about building your personal brand and Justine and I will be adding to it regularly as well as running free webinars around the process we are going through and how you can do the same..
What is most interesting I think is that you will be witnessing a brand (SpunkBusiness.com) being built using the very masterplan we are promoting in the training. And if you wanted to follow along and build your own using the training, then what an awesome opportunity!
See you over at SpunkeBusiness.com and please share this with your friends; it may be the most important info they get this year (especially if they're struggling network marketers!)
