Today, I would like to introduce you to my guest author, Jenni Ryan – my personal mentor and top internet marketer.
With Jenni Ryan at a marketing event – Sydney, Australia
Jenni is an expert in lead generation and personal branding strategies, which she also teaches her team to use. I’m confident you will find today’s post very helpful and informative… It’s entitled “Personal Branding for Success in Network Marketing”.
One important part of branding is the image you yourself portray. Developing a likeable personal brand is essential for succeeding. If you want to rise to the top of your particular arena, you need to first be able to sell yourself to your potential customers. Think about it…… The one thing that everybody wants in network marketing is to learn and duplicate a successful leader.
The most important thing about personal branding is to make sure that you are authentic and that you are also friendly and welcoming. The first impression a prospect receives from you is important because something I learnt some time ago is that people buy people – not products or businesses.
Below is a list of things to accomplish to position yourself as an expert in your field and build your own personal brand:
1) Become an expert source – master internet marketing and personal branding. This is a skill that will allow you to write your paycheck for life. You are not reliant on one company for your success , you are the success.
2) Become a great communicator – Learn how to communicate and influence people to do better and demonstrate leadership.
3) Set actionable goals – Draft your annual marketing plan and review it quartely. Include specific goals, strategies and weekly and daily steps to take.
4) Build your list – Use a good auto-responder service to follow up with your list and develop a relationship with your list. People like to know, like and trust you before they buy from you.
5) Network with other successful people – Most successful people have successful friends and like to mix with other people who they can share ideas with.
6) Give something back. Giving your time, talent, and money to charitable causes is a brand-builder especially when it complements your brand strategy. Find a cause you are passionate about.
7) Lead by example – always keep up to date with marketing skills and be an action taker. You will see far more duplication and inspire others to want to duplicate you when you are a person of aciton.
Your personal brand is one of your greatest business assets. Put more time and effort into it than you do branding your product. In the end, if you can’t sell yourself, you’ll find it nearly impossible to sell your product. You can be just like everybody else out there and scream and shout until you are blue in the face about how great your product or company is, but unless you invest time and money into educating yourself and building your own brand – you will never acquire the skills to be self sustaining in this industry.
To build your own brand and get a comprehensive marketing education to build that brand online you need to learn from the best.

Part 5 of my Blogging Series…
A blog not only gives you a voice, it gives you the opportunity to offer real value to your website visitors. This is important for a number of different reasons, but it is also important that you choose wisely from the very start in order to make sure that your readers are going to get the most out of the information that you are posting. Here are a few ways to continually add value for your readers, and how you may be able to use it to your advantage.
One of the first things I would like to mention, is the fact that many of us are familiar with blogs that really only put information out there which is of superficial value. Although we may land on these pages on occasion, very few of us end up visiting them on a regular basis because they are not offering us in-depth information that can help us in any way. If you feel this way, you can guarantee that individuals who are going to be visiting your website have also experienced the same thing. By simply adding good value to your blog in the form of information that will truly help them, you can have a repeat audience and the potential for new clients that come from that audience.
Another benefit that comes from adding great value to your readers is the fact that they will readily pass it on to other individuals. Whenever they see something on your blog that they feel would be of interest to somebody else that they know, they will and email it to them, or perhaps even bring it up in conversation. Of all of the different forms of advertising that are available, word-of-mouth advertising is one of the most effective, and the more value you offer, the more you will receive in return.
Of course, it helps if you choose wisely whenever setting up your blog in the first place. Although you have a number of different choices that are available, Wordpress really offers you the tools on the back end that will help to have you up and running quickly and to give various options to your readers that they would enjoy. This would include everything from giving them a voice on your blog to changing the design to something that is more visually appealing. When all of these things come together properly, along with your adding value to the information that you are putting out there, you would be surprised with how quickly your visitors will grow.
I hope you have enjoyed this 5 part series in Blogging. Of course this is only the tip of the iceberg. There is much more you can learn about this subject that will skyrocket your online business to success!

Part 4 of my Blogging Series….
There are many people that avoid using the Internet for business purposes because of the fact that many areas are rather crowded. I like to think of it as a way to rise above the competition and to make sure that you are going to be giving something to the community that is not available from the others. This is effectively done through branding, something that the Internet makes rather easy and can be done in a number of different ways. One of the first things that I would recommend whenever you are trying to brand yourself is using a blog effectively. Here’s why.
First of all, a blog helps to give you a voice which is exactly what you need in order to be heard online. If you are trying to brand yourself as a leader in a certain online community, a blog can absolutely help you to achieve that purpose. It is important for you to make sure that you are not only putting material online regularly using your blog, but that the blog is regularly seen by other individuals. This can be done in a number of different ways.
Perhaps the easiest way for you to pull people into your blog and to begin getting the recognition that you want is by taking part in other blogs and forums that exist within the community. These help to introduce you to new individuals and it helps to remind people that are already familiar with you about your knowledge on the subject. When people like what they hear you saying on these other venues, they will naturally want to follow through to your blog in order to see what you have to say. At this point, the branding begins and it can really make a difference in how successful you are.
One final thing that I would like to mention is that you should use your blog in order to differentiate what you have to offer from what your competition has to offer. People like things that are unique, and not only will it help to brand you as a leader within the niche in which you’re working, it will help to keep people interested in what you have to offer. If you do this successfully, you will be surprised with how quickly your online business will begin to grow and with the heights that your business is able to attain.
Part 5 is on the way!

Part 3 of my Blogging Series….
One of the key decisions that you need to make whenever you’re setting up a website is your domain name. Many people don’t put enough effort into this, really thinking that it is just a matter of choosing a name that is somewhat related to their business or business name. The fact of the matter is, however, the domain name that you choose can have a large effect on the branding that is done on the Internet. That is why it takes at least a little bit of thought on your part in order to choose an effective domain name that can really assist you in this regard.
One of the first things that you need to choose is the extension of your domain name. The reason why you need to make this decision first, is because you were going to have a much more difficult time finding a .com domain than one which is. net or.org. It is worth the effort to look for the .com extension, however, because it is universally recognized and when most people hear the domain name, they automatically think of this extension in their mind. It would be worth the extra effort to continue to look for one of these extensions that can be used for branding, even if your first choice is not available.
Another thing that you need to consider is that many times, the branding which can be done is on a domain name that does not necessarily match exactly what you are trying to do. Look at websites, such as Yahoo.com or Google.com. These names have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they are search engines, yet they are universally recognized as such. Other domain names, such as Microsoft.com are not only branded according to what they offer, but they are branded according to the name of the business.
Keep in mind, the domain name that you choose today is going to be with you for quite some time. The Internet is certainly not going anywhere, and you need to be set up properly at the very start, as making a switch can be rather messy whatever you’re talking about domain names. Once you have the right name, however, you can go about beginning to brand it in any number of different ways. The more that you get the name out there, the more of an opportunity for pulling people into your website and getting more business.
