As you may already know, I’m building an Empower Network business. I began with the intention to create a $15,000 a month income goal. Since I started promoting the program in January 2013, I’ve made $2,225.

It continues to get better, especially when you get paid in the form of passups from the individuals on the front line of your business. Anyhow, the purpose of this post is to teach you how to build ‘your’ empower network business.

I really see it in 2 ways.

1. Blogging

One of the 8 core commitments inside of EN is to blog daily. The truth is, blogging daily, isn’t enough. One of the motto’s floating around EN is ‘Blog daily, tell others, and get paid.”

I really like that motto because it’s true that unless you tell others about your blog, no one will know about it. Unless you join my team, I won’t dive into the specifics of how to tell others. I will, however, say that two strategies are: SEO & social media.

2. Treating EN like you would any other affiliate program

There are a number of strategies that affiliates use to promote affiliate programs. One of the ones that I’m currently using is solo ad marketing. This post, will show you exactly what I did to generate 25 leads in 1 day from a solo ad.

My teammate and I both ran a solo from the same vendor and together we made over $600. :) Those who join my team will get step by step training on how to make that happen for them in their businesses.

Other ways of promoting your business include: facebook ads and media buys. If you have any questions, you’re more than willing to leave a comment and I’ll reply to each one of them. :)

Are you connecting with 5 new people on facebook everyday?

Well, you should start. It’s free marketing and is very effective. The purpose of this post today is to teach you what I use everyday to connect with new people in my niche.

Step 1: Either send requests or accept requests

When you’re first starting out as a marketer, you won’t have lots of people sending you requests. That’s okay, you’ll get there. Who do you send requests to? That’s entirely up to you. The right question is, “Who do you want to connect with?”

Read their about page and see what their updates look like. Are they the type of person you want in your business or your life? Are they promoting a business opportunity? Do they have a blog?

Step 2: Send them a message

I’ll show you some examples of things you can message them, but, first, I want to cover some principles. Below are the principles for sending a message to someone after they’ve accepted your request.

  • Offer your help and expertise
  • Acknowledge that they’re promoting an opportunity or that they have a blog
  • Ask them how that’s working for them
  • Always leave with a question to keep the conversation going

If you’re trying to connect with someone that you’re not friends with, then keep in mind that those messages will go to their ‘Other’ inbox. Have you seen that inbox before?

 Step 3: Rinse and repeat – stay consistent

It’s free after all – why wouldn’t you do it often? At the risk of getting burned out, stick with connecting to 5 people a day and commit to doing it for the next 90 days.

Come back to me and report your results :)
