MLM Business Using Blogs

When researching for an MLM business, I suggest you research the following 3 things to ensure you find something you can be passionate about.





a) What Kind of Product are you interested in?

b) Which MLM companies own your product, and which of those do you like most?

c) Which business partners would you like to work with?





Choosing a Product

------------------------

Liking the product is important because on the internet you will have to write content related to the product. For example, if you sell a nutritional product for cats, you must obviously love cats. Even if you find someone else to write the content, there will still be other things to do requiring you to be passionate about the product.





In addition to liking the product, you must find one that’s in demand. Finding out whether a product is in demand or not, is much easier on the internet than it used to be offline.





There are some major areas you can choose from, to get you started with choosing a product. Here are some: Educational Books and Games, Cleaning products, Health and Nutrition, Energy Drinks, Legal Services, Pets, Cosmetics, Website Hosting, Internet Services, Financial Services, and Children’s Games and Toys.





You will be able to use tools online to research and find out what people are looking for, and how much competition there is for these products.





Finding a Network Marketing company

-----------------------------------





When you’ve found a number of different products you may like, start looking for a company that sells those products. You could go to any number of websites that have listings of network marketing companies. MLM.com is one where you can search for companies, by typing in the product name or type. As a result of that search, you can see all the different product types along with the company or companies that sell that product.





When you find some companies, go to each of their websites and read everything you can about it. Call the company and see what kind of support you would receive if you were to join. If you are lucky enough to live close to the company’s premises, go and visit them.





Once you've found some companies, go to each company site and read everything you can find, to get a feel for what the company is like.





Find Your Future Business Partner

---------------------------------





Researching future business partners is very important also, so do your investigations thoroughly. You could go to google and type in “company name blog” or “company name distributor” or “product name distributor”, where “company (product) name is the name of the company (product) you are looking at.





Spend a couple of weeks reading the sites and blogs you come across in your search. Don’t just look at the sites appearing on the top of the listings. Just because a site appears on number 1 or 2 of the results, it doesn’t mean the owner of the site is the best person to work with. The owner of that site may have paid a lot of money to get into that position, and it doesn’t mean they can teach you what you want to know.





When getting to know different distributors, look to see if their values are the same as yours and see if they are working the same way as you want to. If you want to build your business on the internet, ask lots of questions about how they are building their business. Phone each distributor and see if they offer consultations, so you can get to know them better. Ask to look at their marketing material, and see if they have an educational program for you to learn about internet marketing for an MLM business.





It’s best to find a sponsor who can coach and mentor you, and also someone you really like. We recommend getting to know a number of distributors through email or facebook or Twitter (or all 3) and on their blogs. If they are active on the internet, they should belong to a number of social networking communities and should have their own blog or some kind of website. Have a thorough look at what they are doing.





To summarize - there are 3 important things to investigate when choosing your MLM business. Find a product you can be passionate about first, then look for companies who sell those kind of products, and last of all look for a suitable sponsor. Research these things thoroughly, and you will have the foundation for a very MLM business.
