Building Links With a Staff Xmas Present

There has been much said about building links this year and we thought it would be a good idea to give you a quick and simple technique to help your search engine optimisation process and give your staff a Xmas present. You are a great boss after all!

Solution

Simply ask all your staff who has a blog and ask your staff if they would consider placing a footer link in their blog that is keyword rich to your site. In return every year you will pay for the hosting fees for their blog on their own domain, if they are not hosting on their own domain name offer to pay for the domain name registration as well. This could make a great little Xmas present to your staff every year, but it is best get them something else as well!

Important

You should make it perfectly clear that the ownership of the blog is 100% theirs regardless of the hosting or domain name fees you will pay. Offer to sign a contract stating that you (your business) are not entitled to ownership of the blog or part there of regardless of the fees that are being paid. This may help them be comfortable with the idea.

One Step Further

After you have set up an army of bloggers within your business offer to allocate a set amount of time each week for them to blog during work hours. See some of the possible benefits below of implementing this.

Benefits

You will be cool boss because:

you give your staff time to blog during work, saves them time after work as well.
gives them a break from their everyday task
re stimulates the minds of your employees and generates creativity
employees are happier creating a happier working environment
creativity in employees flows over into the work place increasing productivity and enthusiasm for their job and work place
Customers have a better experience with your employees because they are happier
YOU BUILD KEYWORD RICH LINKS that help your online marketing campaigns.
Advanced Option
If your staff are willing to do this it would be very beneficial to your search rankings.

When adding the keyword links to your employees blogs, change the location of the H1 HTML tags on the blog template and the individual page template to be surrounding the keyword link to the business site in the footer. You will need to change the CSS for the H1 tag so the links blends in and is not RIGHT IN YOUR FACE!

Optional

If you end up with a few bloggers for your cause, it would be a good idea to allocate pages for certain employees to link to.

For example, Blogger Employee 1 links to home page, Blogger Employee 2 links to sub page 1, Blogger Employee 3 links to sub page 2 etc.

What Makes a Good MLM Presentation Part 1 of 3

What really makes a good MLM presentation?

This is a 3-part series in which I’ll discuss:

Part #1 (this part) – Your state of mind when you conduct an MLM presentation

Part #2 – The problem and solution approach

Part #3 – What is your offer to your prospects?

Here’s Part 1:

Not long ago, I watched Ruben Gonzalez — a 3-time Olympian in a sport that takes him down an icy mountain on a

sled at an incredible speed — who is now a motivational speaker.

He started after a short video clip of his triumph by saying:

“Many people asked me if going down an icy mountain at 85 mph is scary?

“I told them, ‘No, it’s not scary…

“It’s terrifying! It’s awful!”

As he said that with full of passion, energy and emotion, I began to wonder how many times he had said those same words that would capture anyone’s attention right from the very beginning of his talk?

5 times? 20? 100? 500?

I would reckon he had spoken those same few paragraphs at least a few hundred times. In fact, someone once told me that Madonna typically rehearse a song for at least 500 times before she performs on stage.

How is it that Ruben Gonzalez is still able to maintain his passion and energy level as he related his experience with the audience for the umpteenth time?

… Or should I put it this way:

Ruben Gonzalez is a professional motivational speaker who is able to make sure that every time he speaks – no matter whether it’s his 10th time or the 1000th time – with the same passion and energy!

And that’s expected of him, isn’t it?

After all, he’s a motivational speaker…

But, on the other hand, have you ever thought that he could in reality be sick and tired of telling the same old story over and over again no matter how exciting that story can be?

Now, think for a moment of those days when you first joined your MLM business…

You were totally excited and charged up… especially after your sponsor shared with you that you can earn a mind boggling income by simply sponsoring a few downline…

…And then you went out there and shared with your friends.

…And it was easy to sponsor a few people – I’m sure you know what I mean :-)

Your excitement, enthusiasm, eagerness, energy literally ‘electrified’ the prospect and he would be a fool not to take up your amazing offer!

Now… FAST FORWARD 3 months, 6 months, a year or two…

What happened?

You did your best to show your plan but found that your closing rate hit rock bottom.

How many times have you shared your business?

A hundred times? 200? 500?

Aren’t you like Ruben Gonzalez who’s sharing the same old plan, talking about the same old company, same old products?

It had gotten a little boring now and you just want to finish off quickly and get your prospect to sign up so
he won’t take up your precious time.

After all, this business is so simple and why did he (the prospect) not see it and kept asking so many questions?

So, before you make your next MLM presentation, take a moment to reflect on those days when you first joined and do your best to share with the same enthusiasm and then watch your success rate go back up again.

Presentation FAQs

1. I find it difficult to remember my lines during presentations, what could be done to avoid such situations in public?

It’s very common to forget your lines, panic or feel nervous while speaking in public, so always remember the first few lines to start the presentation, but the rest of the contents of the presentation should be understood and not mugged up. The more you by-heart, the more you develop the fear of forgetting what you know. So understanding your presentation details will give you the freedom of reacting spontaneously during presentation. Also a great deal of practice will make you through with your contents and presenting them gets much more simplifies.

“No one can remember more than three points.”
– Philip Crosby

2. I develop shaky feet while facing the audience, how can this be prevented?
The more you face the crowd the more you free yourself from your stage fear. Grab every opportunity you get to face the public and facing the audience many times helps you get rid of shaky feet developed due to stage fear.

3. While presenting I always fear, I may make mistakes and people may laugh at me.
No body is a perfect presenter, in fact a person who doesn’t make mistakes while presenting doesn’t even sound natural, so there is no harm in making mistakes. Well lots of mistakes could be averted by simply practicing and rehearsing many times. It’s said that it takes an hour of preparation for every minute of presentation.

4. I sound monotonous during my presentations.
The more you present and the more you practice between friends, the more expertise you gain. Practicing is the only way to polish yourself for presentations. Practice within a group of friends and point out flaws in an unbiased manner and suggest solutions.

5. How do I maintain a confident attitude throughout the presentations?
Presentations are nothing but simply speaking to an audience just like you speak when you are in a group of friends. Did you ever think of maintaining a confident attitude at such times? It’s simply how you perceive things that can drastically change things for you.

6. I generally end up speaking a lot during presentations.
You know a lot about the topic, but you haven’t organized on what to speak and what not to speak and you generally end up speaking more than required. This is a critical problem, when you have a limited time for presentation and you cannot afford a time overrun. Ask yourself, ”If I had only sixty seconds on the stage, what would I absolutely have to say to get my message across.”
