I am ToTaLlY excited for the launch of TheNetworkMarketingDIVAs.com and can’t WAIT to share these stories, tips, tricks, techniques, and systems with our readers. WOW!!!

The site is up and running with updates continuing thru March. GREAT THINGS in the works and AWESOME blogposts, as well as broadcasts will be sent out to our subscribers. The numbers are already blowing me away and I feel so blessed!

While this blog focuses on NETWORKING, the new blog is more keyed to Network Marketers and those in MLM or Direct Sales. Yes, the title would lead you to believe it is for women, but in reality it is for EVERYONE!!! We have contributing editors and receive emails from various LEADERS in the industry, not just the Millionairesses, but their spouses, too. And the cool thing is, they have the option of submitting ANONYMOUSLY!!!

Why would that be of importance? Because folks, not everyone LOVES what they do or the company they work for but if they came out and said it, the company would CUT OFF THEIR CHECK and they would go from BIG BUCKS to NO BUCKS overnight. I have a number of good friends this has happened to and it is MESSED UP!!! I have one word for you: GREED

This decision comes from EITHER SIDE getting greedy. The business owner or the business but I am not pointing any fingers…you will have the opportunity to read the stories and decide on your own what YOU WOULD DO and how you can learn from their experiences.

TOP LEADERS have HEART. It is not the skills or knowledge they possess, it is their HEART…and it is YOUR HEART that will get you further in life. Be true to YOU. Stand up for what YOU believe in. Don’t let someone convince you otherwise.

This new blog is all about KEEPING IT REAL and sharing TRUTH.

If you want to get to the top, then you need to know what others did and are doing to get there, right?

Find a way and MAKE a way!!!
Be the change you want to see in others.
Today is YOUR DAY.
Attitude Changes Everything!

These are all quotes from INFAMOUS leaders who paved the way in business for you and for me.

If you are ready to learn what the “difference maker” is for many of the industry’s TOP INCOME EARNERS then jump on the new site and check it out. The secret will be revealed to you, just as it was to me.

The TRAINING you will receive, the INFORMATION you will gain, and the TIPS you will have access to (as well as the people) make this FREE SUBSCRIPTION definitely worth it! Upgrade your account if you want to…but get ready for the ride that lies ahead. I started this voyage just last week and WOW has it impacted my life in an amazing way!!!

I can’t wait to share this journey with you. ARE YOU READY?!?

TheNetworkMarketingDIVAS.com

Here’s one last question…
Have you ever sought new ways to MARKET your business or find NEW LEADS?

THE ANSWERS WILL BE REVEALED…

I know, because I was in the same position as you and did some searching and NOW I am sharing the answers!!!

WOO HOO – can’t wait to share them with you!!! (oh, and if you wonder “What about Facebook?” Got that covered!)

With this commandment, I hope you will take me up on the offer to COMMENT AWAY. This might help you to realize the added value of sharing your knowledge and expertise, and to post on a site that allows you to share your links.

Don’t need your “sales pitch,” remember. This is a site focused on connect, relate and refer…so if you want REFERRALS then you need to RELATE to others. So, read on, and then C.O.M.M.E.N.T. below –

The Sixth Commandment – Thou Shalt Post Comments on Blogs with Do-Follow

Do-Follow simply means that a link on a page is valued by the Google gods. Be sure to post a good comment and use the keyword string that you are focusing on as your name. (see previous Commandments below for more info on this)

Here is a list of Do-Follow Blogs:

MY TAKE ON THIS: HALF-TRUTH!!!

Why “half”? Because in reviewing the list of blogs, I’m just not too sure about a few of them. I think searching for blogs that are relevant to your industry/niche is a pretty smart “first approach” and then hit the BIG TWELVE (or ten or whatever) once you have mastered the art of commenting.

Is there such a thing as “an art to commenting”? YES!!! Some of these Ten Commandments are most effective when you have built up your content and provide QUALITY work, not quantity, as we discussed previously.

Posting comments ANYWHERE is going to help your site to grow, your distribution list to flourish, and your sales to expand! You are getting your name and your brand out there. It is like having a prospect become your client and not sending a Thank You card – many people DO NOT do this and their sales would increase if they DID!!!

I started using SendOutCards to help me with Follow-up, and when I use it, it works! When I don’t, well…it’s never too late to send a card of any sorts – Christmas, Customer Appreciation, Thanks for the Referral, Nice to Meet you…you name it. Come up with any random reason (or a legit one) and just send it! See how your business is impacted!

The same is true with comments. It is a way to say Thank you, nice to meet you, Merry Christmas, I appreciate you, etc. This is true with Facebook, LinkedIn (though here it is more advantageous to write a recommendation), YouTube, Twitter (with a retweet, Follow Friday post, or direct message), as well as WordPress/Blogger/Blogspot, etc.  the key is…

YOU HAVE TO POST SOMETHING TO GET NOTICED.

Are you excited to see what Commandment Number Seven will be?  Stay tuned…

Let’s go SITE-SEEING!!!

For the next commandment, The Master of SEO has us taking a little tour, if you will.

Once you have read through today’s blog, be sure to comment and include your website. This is a great (and free) way to ask for feedback and ideas. You might even learn information others would like to see included on your Blog!

It could be that you want to ask for feedback on a recent post. THEN ASK…

Are you new to blogging and want ideas before your site “goes live”? Then share it here with your online (and offline) network as I know many are willing and interested in assisting. I want to see YOU and your business MORE SUCCESSFUL!!!

Take advantage of the comments section on this blog.
It is another way you can GROW YOUR NETWORK…and, it affords you the opportunity to connect with others.

Have fun reviewing each other’s websites, blogs, site names, and stories. I can’t wait to see what you have to share!!!

The Fourth Commandment – Thou Shalt Use the Site Name in the Title

The Google gods want you to be true to yourself and not try to trick your fellow man.

The best way to accomplish this is to use it in the second half of the title. Ex: The Ten Commandments of Search: Sta.rtUp.biz

MY TAKE ON THIS: HALF TRUTH…

I have looked at a number of blogs since I saw this commandment. More times than NOT there are posts which do not include the website.

Hmmm…could it be that they don’t know this trick?

Is it possible the commandment is optional?

Would there be another solution available?

Here’s some of the feedback “The Master of SEO” has received and some additional points I think should be included:
I rarely will use the business or website name in a page title. The only exception is if the name is also a keyword. A better use of the website or business name is in the page description Meta Tag. Page Titles are for keywords only! Most businesses and websites are not going to be searched by name, and those that are will get picked up from the page description.

Here’s an example of what I would have as a blog title:  The Ten Commandments of Offline Networking: The Networking Queen speaks out!

Do you think this would suffice?

Let me know by posting in the comments section below. I want to know your thoughts…and how you have seen and/or used this “commandment.”

POST AWAY!!!

Up next, our half-way point!  Commandment #5 from “The Master of SEO” on Sta.rtup.biz…wonder what if it will include more links for us to bookmark – LOL!!!
