Did you notice that I never said anything about you? Those sites do not help you market You, Inc. Sure, they have your name, contact information, and maybe your picture, but how many of you have had success getting those sites to the top of the natural search engine listings. You can't modify the metadata keywords, title, or description. You definitely can't modify the copy on the pages. The copy that's there effectively describes the company and its brand, and maybe the product. However, it doesn't effectively market all of those things. Do you think the creators of those pages bothered to use a Reverse Keyword Search? Even worse, with the exception of the contact information that you provide, your site has exactly the same copy as the countless others who are involved with the MLM business. Do you know what that means to the search engines? Nothing, absolutely nothing! In fact, the search engines will think even less of your site because it's DUPLICATE to so many others!
Why Have A Website At All?
Having a web presence helps to brand You, Inc. It provides a certain level of visibility, not to mention popularity for your personal brand on the Internet. Since you value the concept of multiple streams of income, you most likely have more than one thing going on anyway. Why not have a website that talks about you and ALL you do? Why not market You, Inc on it's own? Get a website that you can control! One that you can effectively market, after doing your Reverse Keyword Search, with original copy that will make you unique to the search engines.
Once you have your web presence you can then use it to build You, Inc. and your autoresponder to remain in contact with the people who support it. I explain how to do this in my FREE training and you can sign up with the box to the right if you haven't already done so. The Internet is vast. There is an estimated 6.9 Billion people in this world of which an estimated 2.9 Billion are on the Internet. That is a 480% growth in the past decade according to Internet World Stats. No other form of marketing will put you in front of that many people! If you are a business person and you aren't on the Internet, then you might as well not exist, plain and simple. Perform a small experiment, Google your name or your company name in quotes, like "Tamikia Alford". How many results come up?
So What Is My MLM Provided Website Good For?
Well, since you can't use it to effectively market your product or You, Inc., You might as well use it sign people up for your opportunity. I would say that you can use it to sell product but those shopping carts are usually navigational nightmares that hardly even describe the product well enough to get a customer who hasn't been personally introduced to the product interested. If you can't afford your own e-commerce website, you can always create a blog and use it to market your MLM Opportunity's products. Even if you could afford an e-commerce website, a blog is marketing gold, when it comes to building You, Inc. in general.
Now that I think about it, maybe they do that on purpose - force you to have parties and meetings by giving you a horrible, over duplicated website that is guaranteed to to be unmarketable. Then you are guaranteed to follow their "marketing" techniques, right? We'll show them!
