Team Beachbody Review – Is it Worth The Investment?

Charles Lenoir / October 12, 2015

What is this Beachbody review all about? Well if you’re reading this then you are probably conducting research because you have an interest in the Beachbody products and services or joining the business opportunity better known as the Team Beachbody.

If that is the case, just keep reading!

This is an unbiased Team Beachbody Business Opportunity Review. I will attempt to provide enough factual information about the Company, Product(s), and Compensation plan for you to be able to make an informed decision.

NOTE: Unbiased (meaning I am not a distributor of their products/services and I do not promote their business opportunity). Your decision to join or not join the Team Beachbody business opportunity is entirely up to you.

So let’s get to it shall we?

Company Profile – Background and History

COMPANY NAME: Beachbody, LLC
INDUSTRY: Health & Fitness
FOUNDERS: Carl Daikeler (CEO) and Jon Congdon (President)
COST: Initially $39.95 and then $15.95 (monthly)
WEBSITE: Teambeachbody.com Network Marketing Arm & Beachbody.com (Corporate)
REACH: USA & Canada only

According to their website,

Beachbody is a successful 10-year-old, $250+ million corporation based in Southern California. Founded in 1998 by Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon, Beachbody, LLC, operates Beachbody.com and TeamBeachbody.com.

The Santa Monica, California-based company is the creator of the nation’s most popular fitness and weight loss products—high-quality, well-manufactured DVD workout programs, gear, and nutritional supplements that have been proven to work.

Beachbody’s Mission Statement:

To help people achieve their goals and enjoy healthy, fulfilling lives

In 2007 Team BeachBody was launched, and has since served as the network marketing arm of the business. TeamBeachbody.com, includes a network of thousands of independent “Coach” distributors as well as a dynamic online support and fitness community.

What Are the Beachbody Products?

Fitness and weight loss products including P90X^®, INSANITY^®, Brazil Butt Lift^®, Slim in 6^®, Turbo Jam^®, and Hip Hop Abs^® among many others. Beachbody^® programs combine challenging DVD-based workouts with easy-to-follow diet guidelines, nutritional supplements (including its breakthrough health shake called Shakeology^®, (AKA “The Healthiest Meal of the Day^®“) and the clinically proven 21-day cleanse known as the Ultimate Reset^®, and an unparalleled customer service and peer-support system.

How to promote the products

Beachbody spends millions of dollars every week advertising their home fitness programs on the major TV stations and cable networks. (You’ve probably seen their infomercials for programs such as P90X, Turbo Jam, and Hip Hop Abs, as well as our magazine and Internet ads.)

Team Beachbody Coaches are taught Warm Market Prospecting techniques and to take orders from family, friends and coworkers etc.

Beachbody also promotes its products with the Beachbody Challenge, a weight-loss and physical fitness goals oriented program designed to reward those with the best transformations achieved over a specified time period.

Some representatives also promote their products through social media and use of the internet.

The problem that most Team Beachbody representatives are facing is that after they go through their family and friends they run out of people to speak to about the business.

Once you run out of to the right of friends and family to sell to then what do you do?

Let me continue with this Team Beachbody review and I will show you exactly how you can make more money and sales with your new Beachbody business.

The Compensation Plan

The Team Beachbody compensation plan is actually a network marketing binary plan.

NOTE: A network marketing Binary Plan is a compensation plan in which distributors are placed in a binary (two legged) tree structure, or a left and a right subtree in the organization. It pays to infinite downline. That means that a member will be paid by downline, even if the downline are 15 level deep in your structure. It is the most popular plan among network marketing companies, network marketers, part-timers and members who want to earn through network marketing business.

You must be both Active to be eligible to earn and receive commissions.

How Team Beachbody defines an active coach:

Active – A coach achieves Active Status by (a) accumulating and maintaining a total of 50 or greater Personal Volume (PV) within the Bonus Qualification Period; (b) accumulating and maintaining 50 or greater PV within the Bonus Qualification Period from your personal Home Direct orders; or (c) becoming a new Coach by directly responding to the Beachbody Coach Business Opportunity offer for the initial Bonus Qualification Period (i.e., solely for the new Coach’s first 35 days).

The two primary ways to earn money within the Team Beachbody compensation plan are selling: 1) BeachBody products and 2) Team Beachbody membership subscriptions.

Personal Selling

Retail commissions are paid out weekly on the sale of BeachBody products to retail customers.

The commission pay out is 25 percent of the retail sales price of the product and coaches earn a 15 percent commission on products they sell to personally enrolled Team Beachbody Club Members

Any Challenge Packs sold to retail customers attract the following once-off bonuses:

Challenge Pack $140 – $40 commission
Challenge Pack $160 – $50 commission
Challenge Pack $180 – $60 commission
Challenge Pack $205 – $70 commission
Challenge Pack $220 – $80 commission
Challenge Pack $245 – $80 commission
Challenge Pack $305 – $105 commission

Team Selling – Team Beachbody Club Membership Ranks

Coaches will earn a 40 percent commission on the sales and renewals of new Team Beachbody Club memberships.

NOTE: Coaches with customers who have enrolled in the Team Beachbody Club prior to March 11, 2015 will continue to earn a 50 percent commission on those enrollments for the duration of the customer’s paid club subscription.

Also Note that Team BeachBody membership is not affiliate membership, but rather a community within the BeachBody customer-base.

These Club membership commissions are paid weekly.

There are eighteen membership ranks within the Team BeachBody compensation plan, 15 of which are Diamond Star ranks. Listed below are the criteria to qualify for each:

ARE THERE ANY CONCERNS OR RED FLAGS ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY?

At this time I have no concerns or major issues with this company. Beachbody, LLC is actually a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited Business since 02/21/2002.

At the time of this post there were 486 complaints closed with BBB in last 3 years and 283 closed in last 12 months.

The majority of the complaints (216) were Billing/Collections issues.

The second highest number of complaints was 176 focused on Products/Services.

Their current BBB rating is:

Since this is a comprehensive Team Beachbody Business Opportunity review I have listed the pros as well as the cons below:

The Pros

Upfront commissionable income on new product sales.
Product & Brand Recognition – Fitness products are promoted on television and recognized by many.
Residual income opportunity on product orders (autoship).
Multiple ways to get paid through Personal Selling or Team Building.
Stability – Beachbody, LLC has been in business over 10 years.
Monthly Business Service Fee Waived for Military on Active Duty.
Coach Business Starter Kit & Monthly Coach Business Services Fee Waived for bonafide Non-Profit organizations.
Bonuses and Awards. Fast Start Bonuses, Team Cycle Bonuses, Incentive Trips. In addition to to the above compensation, Team Beachbody has bonus opportunities and recognition programs available to its coaches.

The Cons

Must maintain at least 50 PV a month to qualify for commissions..
Requires that you have 50 PV, and have one (1) personally sponsored Active Coach (or higher) on his right and left legs before eligible to receive commissions from your downline (team activity).
Production based comp plan that will require heavy recruiting and building large teams to sustain and maximize income potential.
Hierarchical requirements make the higher ranks exceptionally harder to achieve, including those ranks that are most likely to produce a comfortable living income.
The founder of Beachbody has stated that the average life of being a Beachbody Coach is only 18 months. The average earning of a “Retail-Seller Coach” for 2014-2015 was $550.
Restricted Market: Business opportunity only available in USA & Canada.
Compensation Plan Restrictions for Higher Ranks: To qualify for the Star Diamond Leadership Bonus Pools as shown above, eligible Coaches at the 5, 10 and 15 Star Diamond

Is the Team Beachbody business opportunity right for YOU?

If you are interested in promoting/selling health and fitness products then Team Beachbody may be a good fit for you!

To join Team Beachbody and become a sales representative you must purchase the Business Starter Kit for $39.95 at sign up.

A kit contains a Welcome Book, a CD/DVD with “sharing videos”, instructions for holding “great events” and “support materials you’ll need.

Kit also includes membership to Team Beachbody online community.

You can sign up with a personal sponsor or you can sign up online.

After signing up you will be provided catalogs and your very own company reciprocated website with a back office.

Once you’re registered as a independent representative, you can start building your Team Beachbody business.

Note: The optional purchase of a Challenge Pack can raise the cost of basic Team BeachBody affiliate membership to as much as $305.

WARNING: 95% of Team Beachbody Coaches FAIL!

Beachbody its a fact that an overwhelming majority will lose money and never achieve the financial freedom they dream about.

According to Beachbody’s Statement of Independent Coach Earnings for the fiscal year ending Dec. 26, 2015 Beachbody admits that 45% of all Coaches did not receive a commission or bonus check from Team Beachbody and this is based solely on coaches enrolled for a one year period.

69% of Coaches are in the lowest rank of Coach, the “Retail Sellers” rank. Only 3% of Coaches are in the highest “Star Diamond” ranks.

But, within the Star Diamond rank, there are an additional fifteen levels. The percentage of coaches in the highest rank is actually smaller than 3%.

The truth is most Team Beachbody coaches will never achieve financial freedom or the level of success they desire.

Hard work and dedication will only get you so far.

That is only one part of the strategy for success.

The other part that is not often discussed is having the right mindset, training and marketing tools in place – preferably before you join or shortly thereafter!

Quite frankly, if you are new to direct sales or an inexperienced marketer chances are you will become frustrated and quit 90-120 days after joining unless you take the time to invest in and develop the necessary marketing skills you need to avoid becoming a failure statistic.

Not investing in the proper marketing training and marketing tools is why most Team Beachbody coaches don’t see results and ultimately fail!

If you do not have the money to invest in your personal education in order to develop the skills necessary you are already in trouble.

Yes, being your own boss sounds great until you realize how much work and additional money it really takes to be successful.

Please don’t be a fool.

Network marketing is a lot of hard work!

But if you are willing to labor in the vine yard consistently for 3-5 years the rewards and the benefits are incredible!

So Can I Make Money With Beachbody?

Yes, as with any network marketing business opportunity you can make money with Team Beachbody.

How much money will be totally up to YOU!

The challenge with Team Beachbody and any other direct sales or network marketing company for that matter is that simply joining Team Beachbody will not automatically make you money or successful.

At the end of the day, your success will depend on your ability to generate an endless flow of high quality leads.

But here is absolutely the best part of this Team Beachbody business opportunity review.

I will not only share with you how you can make money from your Team Beachbody business but exactly what the top leaders are doing to earn 6 figure incomes.

Working with Beachbody can be highly profitable, but also competitive. So how do you set yourself apart from all the rest and become a top producer for Beachbody ?

Well, it’s a combination of 3 fundamental things, and yes, they are listed in order of importance:

#1 The right LEADERSHIP
#2 The right TRAINING
#3 The right TOOLS

As an Beachbody coach, you have your typical sponsor or upline leaders who are essentially responsible for teaching you how to succeed.

Unfortunately with Beachbody, too many upline leaders are stuck in a traditional mentality of teaching old school marketing tactics that worked 30-40 years ago, but have since been out-dated.

To become a TOP PRODUCER for Beachbody, or any other network marketing company, you need to acquire these 3 things I’ve just outlined for you above:

– With the right LEADERS, you can learn what it truly takes to be successful by modelling your Beachbody business after the business of your coach or mentor.
– With the right TRAINING, you can acquire the skills and knowledge to become the most sought after Beachbody coach.
– With the right TOOLS, you can put together a marketing system that will fuel the engine of your Beachbody business, like a well oiled machine.

The reason so many people struggle with Beachbody is NOT because of the company or the product. In fact, they’ve been around for a long time and have had success with their product line around the world.

But simply put, you need to learn how to effectively market your Beachbody products to the right people, at the right time and in the right way. It’s really that simple.

You can have tremendous success selling Beachbody (either offline, online or both) and build a highly lucrative home business just like you always wanted. But it will take dedication on your part, and a commitment to follow the 3 steps I’ve outlined for you.

Ready to learn how TOP PRODUCERS are generating 20+ LEADS PER DAY? These skills are absolutely essential, as you will have difficulty monetizing your Team Beachbody business if you are not pulling in leads in the DOUBLE DIGITS.

My Final Thoughts…

If you do a search on Google for this company and products, you will find some negative websites, blogs and consumer comments, but that is typical for any business.

How the company handles the complaints is key.

You should always make sure you get to know as much about the company as you can before making a decision.

So continue to read as many Team Beachbody reviews as you possibly can while researching this company.

Please understand that if you are new to the direct sales and network marketing industry that your success will come from your ability to generate continuous leads in order to make sales. Remember, success in network marketing is not a huge mystery. It is just a matter of correct education, proper skills and effective action.

In my opinion Team Beachbody is a very stable and well established direct sales and network marketing company.

Team Beachbody is a good business opportunity that sells high quality, celebrity-endorsed, brand recognizable beauty products.

But that all of that has little to do with whether YOU will be successful or not.

While it’s obviously beneficial to be a part of a strong, supportive company, what really determines whether you will succeed or not is your ability to sell products consistently and your ability to recruit people in order to build a solid team.

If you are interested in the health and fitness industry and feel comfortable with their products, then Team Beachbody is certainly a business opportunity worth looking into.

Thanks for checking out this Team Beachbody Business Opportunity Review.

To Your Success!

P.S. While you are considering Team Beachbody as an additional source of income, what if you could make money even from those who are not interested in ordering your products or in joining your team?

P.S.S. If you’re struggling to build your Team Beachbody business, tired of rejection, bugging your friends and family, then you Click Here To Get Help Now! The pain, struggles, and the frustration you have endured while building your business ends, right here, right now.

Jeunesse Review – You Are Not Going To Believe This

Charles Lenoir / October 3, 2015

Thanks for checking out this Jeunesse review. If you’re reading this then you are probably conducting research because you have an interest in the Jeunesse products or the business opportunity.

If that is the case, just keep reading!

This is an unbiased Jeunesse Business Opportunity Review. I will attempt to provide enough factual information about the Company, Product(s), and Compensation plan for you to be able to make an informed decision.

NOTE: Unbiased (meaning I am not a distributor of their products/services and I do not promote their business opportunity). Your decision to join or not join the Jeunesse business opportunity is entirely up to you.

So let’s get to it shall we?

Company Profile

COMPANY NAME: Jeunesse Global (pronounced ja-ness)
INDUSTRY: Health and Wellness/Network Marketing
FOUNDER: Randy Ray, CEO; Wendy Lewis, COO
COST: Five options (See below); Basic Membership: $49.95 +199.00 (minimum)
WEBSITE: jeunesseglobal.com
REACH: Global – already in over 120 countries

Jeunesse Vision Statement:

To enhance the health and vitality of people worldwide by offering financial stability through a ‘new economy’ business platform and youth-enhancing products based on innovative technologies

Co-founders Wendy Lewis and her husband, Randy Ray derived the company’s name and spirit from the French word, “jeunesse” which means “youth” in English.

What Are the Products?

Jeunesse provides a line of personal care and nutrition products.

The company calls their collection of products the Youth Enhancement System, or Y.E.S.

The company claims Y.E.S. was carefully developed to combine powerful benefits into a synergistic system of skincare and supplements you won’t find elsewhere.

Jeunesses’ product line is broken down into three areas: Personal Care, Nutrition and Innovation.

PERSONAL CARE: Luminesce beauty products restore youthful vitality and radiance to the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while nourishing the skin.
NUTRITION: These products target DNA Repair and telomere maintenance, and protect cells from free radical damage.
INNOVATION: Products developed through scientific research iwith focus on four areas:
Stem Cell – How the “language” of stem cells promotes healthy new skin.

Antioxidants – Counteracting the environment to protect and extend cell life

Y.E.S. – A compete system of products that enhance youth at the cellular level

DNA Repair – Maintaining cell telomeres to delay the aging process

Jeunesse’s flagship product, Luminesce, a cellular rejuvenation skincare serum.

How to promote the products

Jeunesse distributors are taught Warm Market Prospecting techniques by the company.

Shortly after joining, their upline or sponsor will probably tell them to make a list of all the people they know, including family, friends, co-workers and business associates then introduce them to the business model right away.

Some distributors also promote their products through social media and use of the internet.

The problem that most Jeunesse distributors are facing is that after they go through their family and friends they run out of people to speak to about the business.

GOOD NEWS!

Jeunesse provides Jsocial™ for their Independent Distributors. Jsocial™ offers a simple to use patented platform allowing users a unique way to sample, sell and promote their Jeunesse home business.

Unfortunately this will not be enough to get you on the leader boards and into the Director levels of the compensation plan where the real money is at.

Any Jeunesse distributor that desires to have a profitable business should have a complete online marketing system.

Online marketing systems consist of websites, blogs or lead capture pages you can use to send your prospects to for more information and autoresponders (automated follow-up email system) to maintain contact with potential clients.

How did the top income earners become so successful?

Simple, the top Jeunesse earners build their businesses totally different than the masses do.

The top earners who are making money in Jeunesse are great at marketing, both offline and online.

They know how stand out as leaders by way of personal branding to generate traffic and leads, and then convert those leads into sales, and they know how to recruit the best people into their business.

The teams that seem to be successful are not just using the company’s replicated website, but a host of other lead generation and marketing tools.

They train their downline on what’s working now, the latest internet marketing strategies and techniques and arm them with the tools and knowledge to generate their own online leads.

If you want to become a top producer, you will need a powerful lead marketing system to foster and build a relationship with your prospects.

Not understanding how to personally brand themselves, how to drive traffic to their capture pages or having a high converting lead marketing system is why most Jeunesse distributors fail; because they follow the masses and get the same old results.

HINT: Most Top earners use their own website or blog and not company replicated sites.

The Compensation Plan

Can you make money with this business opportunity? Of course! Anything is possible in network marketing. Jeunesse calls it’s compensation plan the Financial Rewards Plan.

Their current BBB rating is:

Is the Jeunesse business opportunity right for YOU?

Well this is a comprehensive Jeunesse Business Opportunity review, right? Then let’s look at the good as well as the bad.

The Pros

Residual income opportunity on product reorders (autoship) paid out weekly.
Six different ways you can get paid, Retail Profit, New 1st Order Bonus, Team Commission, Leadership Matching Bonus, Customer Acquisition Incentive & Diamond Bonus Pool.
You can begin earning Retail Profits, Preferred Customer Bonuses, and New First Order Bonuses immediately upon the purchase of the mandatory $49.95 Starter Kit.
Stability-the company has been around for six years.
International business opportunity available in many countries outside the U.S.
Bonuses and Awards. Lifestyle Rewards Program. In addition to to the above compensation, Jeunesse has multiple bonus opportunities and recognition programs available to its distributors.
Flexibility to place place people in your organization.

Jeunesse announced a record for monthly sales revenue in June 2015, with a grand total of $120 million in global sales. More than 116,000 new distributors started a Jeunesse business that same month.

The Cons

Products are somewhat pricey.
Requires that you have a total of 900 Commissionable Volume (CV), generated with at least 300 CV from one team and 600 CV before eligible to receive commissions from your downline (team activity).
Production based comp plan that will require heavy recruiting and building large teams to sustain and maximize income potential.

Hierarchical requirements make the higher ranks exceptionally harder to achieve, including those ranks that are most likely to produce a comfortable living income.
Annual Renewal fee of $19.95. However, if you maintain 360 CV from Autoship orders during the year, the Annual Renewal fee is waived.

Is the It Works business opportunity right for YOU?

If you are interested in promoting/selling personal care and nutritional products then Jeunesse may be a good fit for you!

To join Jeunesse and become an associate you must purchase the Starter Kit for $49.95.*

The Starter Kit is the only purchase required to start earning bonuses.

Once you’re registered as a independent distributor, you can start building your business.

WARNING: 95% of Jeunesse Distributors FAIL!

Unfortunately the sad truth is, if your looking at Jeunesse solely for the purpose of the compensation plan and you are an inexperienced marketer without the drive and ambition to make a serious change in your life, Jeunesse probably isn’t for you.

I’m assuming that we haven’t personally met yet and that I haven’t gotten to know you.

So, I’m going to be pretty blunt here.

If you expect to sign up and instantly start to make money without a lead marketing system, let me be the first to tell you … YOU WILL FAIL!!!

Yes, your success or FAILURE as an Distributor will ultimately be determined by how many people you can attract to you and your team.

Without understanding Attraction Marketing principles, you will always be at a serious disadvantage.

If you want the best chance at success in your Jeunesse business, you need to learn and understand how to apply Attraction Marketing principles.

By using attraction marketing, learning a few marketing skills, and leveraging the power of the internet, you can succeed where the other 95% fail.

My Final Thoughts…

If you do a search on Google for this company and products, you will find some negative websites, blogs and consumer comments, but that is typical for any business.

How the company handles the complaints is key.

You should always make sure you get to know as much about the company as you can before making a decision.

So continue to read as many Jeunesse reviews as you possibly can while researching this company.

Please understand that if you are new to the direct sales and network marketing industry that your success will come from your ability to generate continuous leads in order to make sales.

Remember, success in network marketing is not a huge mystery. It is just a matter of correct education, proper skills and effective action.

In my opinion Jeunesse is a very stable and well established direct sales and network marketing company.

They are international and forecast this year to become one of the few direct sales companies cross the billion dollar sales mark.

One significant milestone that could push Jeunesse closer to that $1 billion goal is its March acquisition of nutritional products direct seller MonaVie and its health and fitness brand, myntTM.

If you are interested in the personal care and nutrition industry and feel comfortable with their products, then Jeunesse is certainly a business opportunity worth looking into.

Out of the top 25 network marketing companies 22 are health and wellness companies.

Your Network Marketing Company is failing. They are failing to teach you modern day business building strategies. They are failing to teach you the secrets of the top earners, and because of this you’re staying broke.

OMG – Woman Makes Almost $1 Million A Year On Etsy

Charles Lenoir / September 24, 2015

How can anyone make almost one million dollars from selling handmade socks and scarves???

Well…

Ask Alicia Shaffer

Alicia Shaffer is a married of mother-of-three and lives in Livermore, California.

Shaffer is the founder of Three Birds Nest Designs, online retail business that sells handmade accessories for women.

She earns $65,000 a month from selling handmade headbands, socks and scarves on Etsy.

She is the one of the most successful sellers on Etsy, an online marketplace.

She has no background in fashion but has worked with leather for years.

Three Birds Nest Design is Shaffer’s third business. Her first business was a baby product line and the second was a brick-and-mortar store — both ended and she and her family found themselves in debt.

In the beginning, this was out of necessity, I needed to make money to pay for financial loss that we had had, I didn’t want to lose our house, and I have three kids I needed to provide for.” Says Alicia Shaffer

Shaffer’s entrepreneurial spirit led her to Etsy and says she saw it as a chance to try again, and not make the same mistakes she made in her other businesses.

According to Wikipedia,

Etsy is a peer-to-peer e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and supplies, as well as unique factory-manufactured items.”

Etsy has over 30 million registered users, one million sellers and over one billion in total annual transactions thus far.

Shaffer originally just wanted to bring in some extra money to help out and started selling boho-inspired hats and scarves through her online shop, ThreeBirdNest.

But in the first few weeks after its December launch, ThreeBirdNest made 90 sales. Shaffer credits much of the traffic to Pinterest—she pinned her items.

Still,it was absolutely mind boggling. I thought it was a complete fluke, that it would stop after the holidays were over.” says Alicia Shaffer

Shaffer told Business Insider,

I would have been thrilled to make $100 to $200 a month to pay for my daughter’s dance lessons….

I was really just trying to make a couple sales a week because I had lost confidence in my ability to start a business.”

Now through its independent website and Etsy shop, ThreeBirdNest receives an average of 150 orders per day, with most orders consisting of three items. Around the holidays, that number goes up to 700 to 1,200 orders per day. In January of 2015, the business raked in a total of $128,000 in sales. In the three years since its launch, it has made 100,000 sales on Etsy alone.

Shaffer believes that to be successful one must ‘eat, sleep and breathe’ their brand, and says she keeps going because of the love and passion her customers have for her items. Alicia’s business has skyrocketed to success to the point that her husband retired early from his job as a fire chief to help run the house, she told Yahoo.

Alicia Shaffer is the face of a growing trend in business. It’s the rise of the Internet entrepreneur.

3 Steps To Personal Branding: The Art of Selling Yourself Online

Charles Lenoir / September 23, 2015

Personal branding is a superior marketing strategy. Let’s take a look at 3 steps to personal branding and why it is important for you as an entrepreneur to implement this marketing strategy.

Depending upon what company you are involved with, there are thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people that are all selling the same products, services and business opportunity that you are.

What makes you any different?

In reality most sponsors don’t have a whole lot more to offer than the next sponsor.

I mean of course they do, but so many of us are so focused on selling products and pitching the opportunity, that our prospects never have the chance to see what we personally have to offer.

You won’t ever be rich and you will never ever truly be successful in network marketing or direct sales if nobody knows your name or what you do or how you can help them.

Maybe you have heard the expression,

People Don’t Join Companies, People Join People”

Honestly, most prospects could care less about your company.

They just want to know that you are serious and committed and willing to help them!

When done effectively branding yourself will position you as a leader that can provide value to your niche by providing solutions to their problems.

By providing solutions and answers you become someone of interest.

You become a trusted brand. And when your customers trust and believe in you they WILL follow and buy from you.

3 Steps To Personal Branding: The Art of Selling Yourself Online Video

I am sure you will agree with me when I say the most successful leaders within the network marketing industry didn’t build their six figure income over night, but now when you hear the names of those fortunate few, you recognize them!

These top network marketing leaders have built organizations as a result of a tremendous amount of hard work, but also by a meticulous systematization of their personal brand.

Ready to establish your own personal brand?

Here are 3 Steps To Personal Branding: The Art of Selling Yourself Online

Step 1 – Get A Website & Blog

Get a blog! Seriously, and I do not mean free sites like Blogger, Tumblr or WIX, get serious…get a paid blog.

When it comes to branding, everything detail of your website matters!

For example you need to put some thought into the following areas:

Logo
Colors
Font
Images
Shapes images are in
Blog content layout
Static page layout
Multimedia within the blog
And so on…

The top network marketing leaders have their own website and blog, and they update them regularly.

Step 2 – Establishing A Niche

Not every website has to focus on network marketing and selling people stuff.

You can actually talk about what ever you are passionate about.

Some people like technology, politics, health and wellness, real estate, sports and some like me like to focus on helping people with getting out of debt and building wealth through blogging, marketing and generating leads.

Either way, getting niche specific is a great way to brand yourself as an expert or, somewhat trusted authority on a particular subject matter.

Not too mention, the narrower the subject field is, the better qualified the traffic you will receive too.

Step 3- Social Network Branding

Sharing your blog posts, videos and images in social media networks is a perfect internet network marketing strategy.

But, when it comes to your social media presence, it should reflect what they will see on the click through from shared content.

Make your profile should match your message.

From the personal things you share, to the things you like and share yourselves.

And, a good tagline never hurt, but use the same one you use on your website.

Don’t be afraid to be you on social media, your brand is who you are in real life.

The top network marketing leaders have mastered the internet through social media. They have social media profiles and publish valuable new content daily.

By implementing a personal branding strategy, more and more people will see your name and begin to associate it with a great product or service. Top network marketing leaders have mastered this strategy.

A personal branding strategy isn’t expensive to implement from a financial standpoint, but it does take time and effort. However, the rewards of being a top network marketing person are well worth the painstaking work of personal branding.

To Your Success!

P.S. If you follow me, I’ll teach you how to develop a personal brand, choose a niche, provide lots of value to this niche, and then watch as prospective customers in that niche come to you to buy things and/or join you in your business with little to no effort on your part!

Why Branding Your Network Marketing Company Is A Big Mistake

Charles Lenoir / September 22, 2015

Most new home business owners will automatically begin branding* their network marketing company and its products shortly after they sign up.

They buy business cards, flyers, stationary sets, t-shirts, and a host of other things that all have the company logo and colors. They go on all their social media sites and post pictures of the company’s products all over their personal page.

But branding the company instead of branding YOURSELF is one of the biggest mistakes a new network marketer can make.

*Branding is the promotion of a particular person, product or company by means of advertising and distinctive design.

Why is this a mistake?

Well when you spend all of your time and effort promoting your network marketing business opportunity and products then all you’re doing is branding the company!

Still don’t get it?

In other words you are indirectly placing the spotlight on the company instead of on you where it should be, whether you realize it or not.

This is a network marketing No No.

Here are some other reasons why branding your network marketing company is a mistake.

Network Marketing Companies Fail

Sure, I love my primary company, but I honestly don’t know if it will be around forever, I can only hope it does. Sadly, not all network marketing companies survive. Most fail within the first 3-5 years of business which reigns true for almost all small businesses.

Believe it or not the current company you are with may or may not be around in the future, but your personal brand is something that can establish now that will stay with you for many years to come.

For example, my blog is my personal brand. I am known as the Wealth Building and Internet Marketing Expert and I help other entrepreneurs and network marketers make more money by teaching them proven marketing strategies that help them get more leads and make more sales.

So what happens if suddenly your company closes its doors?

You have worked so hard to build a large team and create a residual income only to find out that your company has announced that it is going out of business.

Now just imagine for a minute having to start all over again at ground zero after years of building your business. Just think how devastating that would be to your family, your finances and lifestyle.

Don’t think it can happen? Ask representatives from Vemma, Wake Up Now, North American Power to name a few.

If you didn’t brand yourself as a person of value, create a following or list, then you will have to start all over from scratch each and every time you change companies.

Why Branding Your Network Marketing Company Is A Big Mistake Video

You Are Losing Potential Customers/Business Partners

Most network marketers think that the more people know what company they are in, the better chance they have of recruiting more people or selling more products.

This is far from the truth. Think about it.

First of all, why should anybody buy from you? The truth is that they really don’t need to buy from you or join your business.

If they are interested in your company’s business opportunity, products or services all they really have to do is a Google search for the company your are branding and they will find hundreds or thousands of people lining up with a big smile on their face wanting to convince them that they are the best sponsor in the company.

You my friend are just one in a sea of many copycats that have not set themselves apart in any way.

Nobody will join your business opportunity or buy from you!

There are just too many options for them to look at.

So if you have not established your own personal brand so you can attract people to you and stand out from the rest of the field, then I guarantee you that you are losing customers and prospective business partners.

The Solution: Brand Yourself Not Your Company

By creating your own personal brand online people will essentially be attracted to you and they will be interested in what you have to say.

By branding yourself and attracting leads to you and not your company these leads remain yours. This is one of the most powerful reasons to brand YOU and not your company.

As you get more leads you can then create a list of followers. You own the list and can use your list in any way that you choose. You are in control. You can use your list to introduce your followers to your primary network marketing company, you can share products or services with them, build relationships, or use your list in any other way that you see fit. You can create multiple streams of income whether people join your primary business or not!

By branding yourself online, you can set yourself apart and provide value to people. Earn the trust of others and build relationships. That is the real key to finding people to show your products or opportunity.

Remember, network marketing has always been and always will be about building long lasting, quality relationships.

To Your Success!

If you follow me, I’ll teach you how to develop a personal brand, choose a niche, provide lots of value to this niche, and then watch as prospective customers in that niche come to you to buy things and/or join you in your business with little to no effort on your part!

They are failing to teach you the secrets of the top earners, and because of this you’re staying broke.

What is Personal Branding?

Charles Lenoir / September 21, 2015

If you are involved in direct sales or the network marketing (mlm) industry then you need to understand what entrepreneurs are referring to when we use the term “branding“.

Branding Defined

First, lets start with the business definition of branding. According to Entrepreneur.com,

Branding is the marketing practice of creating a name, symbol or design that identifies and differentiates a product from other products The process involved in creating a unique name and image for a product in the consumers’ mind, mainly through advertising campaigns with a consistent theme. 2) It is also the promotion of a particular product or company by means of advertising and distinctive design.

Branding aims to establish a significant and differentiated presence in the market that attracts and retains loyal customers.

What Is Personal Branding

According to Wikipedia,

Personal branding is the practice of people marketing themselves and their careers as brands. While previous self-help management techniques were about self-improvement, the personal–branding concept suggests instead that success comes from self-packaging.

Simply put, your personal brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can expect from you, your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from that of your competitors.

Your personal brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be and who people perceive you to be.

One of the most important things you can do when you start your own home based business is to learn how to begin branding yourself.

Summary

It is what others will feel and remember about YOU.

It is how you are recognized by the people in your community/market palce.

It is YOUR unique promise of value.

It is what is TRUE, GENUINE and REAL about YOU!

So how do you apply personal branding to the home based business or network marketing industry?

By creating a name that identifies and differentiates you, the network marketer, from other network marketers.

Bottom line: You need to do something different in order to stand out from all the others in your company that are promoting the same products and services your company offers.

To Your Success!
