MLM SPOT

Start Your Own Blog

I wrote many times before, how important is for a marketer to have his own presence on the Internet, meaning his own website. What MLM companies give you, is just a replicated website identical for everyone of its distributors. Many novices are relying on those sites and trying to promote them when they start building their business. May be well designed, beautiful and save you from the trouble of building your own, but the truth is, they don’t help a lot in sales.

To overcome this obstacle, many members resort to free hosting platforms, both because they cost nothing and secondly are easier to use as you don’t need any experience or special knowledge to setup your webpages there. Of course, that solution isn’t perfect either.

First of all, you are at the mercy of your host. According to their terms of services, they can any time delete it and your account if they deem that you have violated them. As you understand their opinion would be very subjective and of course they don’t care about you, your business and the effort you put to build your presence there.

Second, your prospects may be put off when you use a free platform and a long url.

Using your own domain name and your own host, albeit requiring some easy to learn technical skills, is the best solution for every Network Marketer that he is serious in building his home based business. It can give you great advantages and there are very good solutions on the market that can help you accomplish that without spending a fortune or becoming a programmer.

Let’s see some of the advantages that having your own site can give you.

Practically, you can do whatever you want with it. You can have the layout that serves you best, put your own ads wherever you want, and change everything any time you want, if you desire so. You are in total control. No one can tell you what to put there, or what T.O.S. you can’t violate, or restrict you in any way.

It also gives you more credibility. Prospects and customers perceive you now as a real business and trust you more, and as a result they are more willing to do business with you.

A great solution to your needs would be to use a wordpress blog. Not the free platform but hosted at your own server.

Using a blog gives you a lot of advantages.

First, you don’t need technical knowledge to put up one.

Second, its customizable and you can change its look, called theme, in an instant.

Third, it has a lot of plugins, software that you can upload on it for various uses.

What’s more, although there are paid solutions, you can find themes and plugins for free to use that can give a look that you want on your weblog.

Well, the whole set up may not be 100% hands free and you may need to get your hands a little dirty, but the benefits absolutely outweigh the small effort you have to put in.

The cost, if use a free theme, basically comes down to your hosting expenses and the domain name.

You can get a domain name for a year for about $10 at namecheap or a little more at moniker the preferred registrar of the domainers(speculators on domain names similar like those in real estate).

As about hosting, you can use hostgator for about $10 a month.

What I would advise you is to use a hosting service who offers cpanel and fantastico. Literaly is a push-button procedure to install a wordpress blog with them. Hostgator offers that.

The last thing that you would need, is to use an ftp program to upload themes or plugins. Filezilla is a good one and free.

I hope I didn’t scare you away and woke up the technophobic inside you. It’s not a big deal these steps. What keeps most people back in this case is their fear that they would do something wrong and someone would come then and take their head off for breaking the thing. I know cause I had the same fear when I was beginning. Well, don’t worry, nothing of the such is going to happen. After you try this it may start seem as fun to you and you end up enjoying to play with things like that.

Of course, I wouldn’t leave you like that. In order to help you I searched for some videos where you can learn how to do this stuff and how really easy is.

Watch them and Move Immediately to Action.
