I’ll try to keep this brief.
Less than 3 months ago, I learned about Ann Sieg’s Renegade Network Marketer and 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing eBooks.
Since that time, I created over 1,800 leads and cleared nearly $7,000 in affiliate revenue before I signed up a single person for my business.
I give a pretty detailed overview of the system here, but here is a quickie for you:
1. Give away the free ebook (7 Great Lies of Network Marketing). When someone downloads the eBook, you get their name and email address. (I’m a nice guy so I communicate with those people).
2. Ann then sends those folks that download the free eBook information about her Renegade Network Marketer system and some of those people that download the 7 Great Lies eBook, purchase the Renegade Network Marketer eBook and System. It’s a great deal for what you get. Then…"Ka-ching" – Ann does all the work (telling them about her system) and I collect an affiliate payment of 50%. Once people purchase the Renegade System, I get their name, physical address, phone number and email address.
Admittedly, I have not done a very good job of calling these folks on the phone, but I have communicated with them via email. Not all of them would be considered "prospects" but let me say that a lot of business has come my way because of Ann Sieg and her little eBooks.
Shows the power of fear-based hype as a marketing tactic.
That sounds like a great idea. Not sure if you respond here but I have a question for you. I've been doing affiliate marketing for a few years, but I’m new to network marketing (well I did a little years ago). Anyway my conversions for affiliate marketing (i.e., sales commissions) are pretty good. Conversions (leads which convert to people joining and me earning a commission) for network marketing from online leads (generated via my own websites) are not as high. Maybe I'll try that freebie stuff, but still are your conversions a lot lower for network marketing also? I assume it's because network marketing is more of a people business where you are best working your “Warm Market” whereas affiliate marketing is not. What do you think? Great site here by the way.
