In my last installment, I discussed using your company provided website to promote your business. Today, I am going to talk about why it is so important to establish your own website.

As I mentioned in my last post, your company probably provides some sort of website for you to use in your business. It will have a url with your name in it somewhere (e.g. daryl.bizopp.com), but it will be the same content as every other website of your fellow distributors. This is a bad thing for a couple of reasons.

First, search engines like websites that offer unique content. If your site is the same as everyone else’s in your organization, you have no unique content. (I will go into this in further detail in later posts, but search engines are very important in helping to build your business.)

Second, business opportunities are plentiful. And the distributors in your organization are probably plentiful as well. I do a search and find a bunch of websites that are all the same. Sure, it is duplicatable, but it is uninspiring.

You need to stand out from the crowd. You need to show that you have something more than an opportunity. You need to show that you can  train and guide your downline to success. It establishes you as someone who knows what they are talking about. You can only do this by establishing your own web presence with it’s own content and with a unique, memorable name.

Let me give you an example:

Let’s say I have been looking for a network marketing company to work with, but I have no idea how it really works. It’s just that the thought of having my own business really appeals to me. So, I search the internet, read some blogs, read good reviews and read bad reviews. Then I stumble upon a website that has information about HOW to build a network marketing business. And it’s not located at daryl.bizopp.com, it is www.a-real-persons-name.com. And I start to think that I need to find out what company this webiste’s owner works with. Because they have the best opportunity out there? NO! I don’t really care what company they work with. I am interested because this person can help me build the business. They have crediblity and value in my eyes as someone I want to work with.

By producing this content and offering it free to the public, I have created prospects that WANT to join me, whatever my business opportunity. I am not chasing them down, asking for twenty minutes of their time to “show the plan”. They are coming to me.

Now that is what I call leverage.

Please leave me a comment to let me know what you thought of the article.

Until next time.
