7 steps to EFFECTIVE network marketing FREE


When I first found out about network marketing , I was sat in a sea of overwhelmed thoughts. My mind was scrambled! I have tried many methods of marketing and this works the best for me.
I tried attraction marketing in many forms without a blog. And being COMPLETELY honest, i wanted and looked for a quick fix.
And I found out, there isn't one so stop looking .
And now I find my blog is the best tool that I have EVER set up in my business.
Your blog is the lynch-pin your attraction marketing strategy and in my opinion, absolutely *key* to your success.
Don't forget that to 90%+ of the population a blog is something rarified that only “experts” can have.
It has a similar effect to having a book published. Only “experts” can have a book published, right?
But the one thing I want to get over to you in this post is that having a successful blog is easy!
And that you can (and should) do it.
As soon as humanly possible.
OK so now we’ve got that settled, onwards...

1. What’s In a Name?
You're building the brand of YOU, so if you’re called Sarah marsden , then try domain names (that’s just another name for website name) like these:
  • Sarahmarsden.com
  • WorkWithsarah.com
  • MeetSarahBloggs.com
  • ProfitWithSarah.com
  • PartnerWithSarah.com
I’ve shown only .com domains here because these are pretty much the most prestigious domain suffix (and it is said that Google tends to favour .coms in searches).
​If the .com is not available, the only other option I’d consider is .net.

2. How to Quickly Make a Blog?
The most popular network marketing blogging platform by far is WordPress. It’s mature, stable and dead easy to use.
There is an option to use wordpress.com to host your blog. This is tempting because it’s free and slightly easier.
The thing is though, you won’t own your blog and the domain (web address) isn’t fully branded to you. Those in the know will always perceive a WordPress-hosted blog as slightly amateurish(SORRY)
So... I would suggest that self-hosted is definitely the way you want to go.
I also use blogger.com as well because its really easy to use and you can access this FREE too.

3. What Should my Blog Look Like?
Keep it focused on  what your target market would like to see(see step 6).
Keep it professional and carry your branding colours over from  social media, to website to your blog.
Don't forget you have to keep standing out from the crowd too. Creating content that people can easily use.
You should have a picture of you in the header or near the top of every page.
You can get a logo, site header or caricature done on fiverr.com from £5.
Oh and definitely don’t go for something that looks too corporate - you’re branding you !

People are in a hurry and you need to capture their attention fast and get across to them what your site is about, and more importantly - what it can do for them!
You can do this with a big bold headline, with video or with pictures, or ideally with a combination of these elements.
Pictures say a thousand words!
You should also have at least one prominent way for people to opt-in to your list on your home page.4.
Maybe you could send your audience to your bootcamp or send them a pdf file so they can subscribe to your list and grab more amazing content?
You NEED to have an opt-in form on each page, giving away something of value to your audience in return for their contact details.
(Don't have anything of value to give away?
You can have your opt-in form in the sidebar, in the header, as a pop-up, in the footer or even in-line in your content.
All of these at once would be overkill but you’ll see that I use a combination of these methods throughout this site.
My email autoresponder does offer the ability to embed opt-in forms on your site but I prefer a dedicated plug-in like Thrive Leads that allows me to split-test the effectiveness of different layouts, headlines and offers.
You can use more cost effective tools such as mail chimp, FREE and then upgrade your account when you have more money coming in too.

5. What to Write About?
When thinking of network marketing blogging topics, do *not* just write about anything.
You need your content to be easily understood and used by your target market.
If you are in a Beauty type MLM and you want to blog about Makeup tips and skincare routines etc. then I highly recommend you do that on a separate blog. Otherwise you will risk alienating both of your audiences.
You’ll be considered a “Jack of all trades" but a master of none!
Keyword Based Content would recommend choosing a fair proportion of your articles based on keywords (terms) that people are searching for in Google.
I use a FREE tool ,Google Keyword Planner.
If you choose your keywords wisely, you can often get ranked on Google with solely on-page SEO.
You can also do posts that are not particularly keyword friendly e.g. “Top 5 Network Marketing Mistakes” but that will attract traffic and links because they are of interest to your audience.
Ask your audience what they want you to write about! You can have an email in your email marketing sequence that asks them what their biggest challenge is right now in their business and you can answer these questions in blog posts.
As your blog works its magic and you become established as an authority in your niche, your audience will begin emailing and messaging you for advice.
Then you simply base your content around these questions and voila - your blog is fuelling itself!

6. How Should You Write?
Because the web has a wealth of information, I would say you need to get to the point , QUICKLY!
People have terribly short attention spans on the web. So you need to match your style to this.
I write in short sentences. Like this one. And short paragraphs.
Like this one.
Write in a conversational style. And ask your audience questions. Are you getting this?
Also, recommend frequent subheadings that captivate your audience and pull them down the page.
Who Are You Writing For?
I recommend taking a moment to imagine who your perfect prospect (or customer) is. Write it down. How old are they? What gender? Are they overweight? What are are they?
Give them a name. Imagine what they look like. Then imagine you’re down the pub / coffee shop chatting with them. That’s how you write.
If you need a bit of help with this then I suggest you check this out.

7. I’ve Set Up My Blog, What Next?
Next, you need to drive traffic to your blog, build a list and build a relationship with that list.
You should also have a way of earning from the people who say no to your opportunity.
Like I was saying before by sending PDF's or doing training bootcamps, that sort of thing.

So now you have all the 7 steps , its up to you to put those wheels in motion.
 In fact you're probably thinking you should get your own blog as you read this.
Do you have a blog? Is it network marketing blogging working for you?
What successes have you had?
Got questions?

Kind regards

8 top tips for journalling your days

When I first started to journal it felt uncomfortable and I wasn't sure have to start writing it.
So every morning I started my day with a morning routine and a coffee to sit down and write with a clear mind.


I began to start writing questions to ask myself each morning to make it easier to write.

1. My plans for today are : (write a list )

2.What do I have to look forward to today? How can I make today different to yesterday?

3. Describe your mood this morning. What's around you and what sounds can you hear ( This will bring out the gratitude in you )

4.What did you dream about last night? How well did you sleep?

5. If you could make today different ,what would your day be like? Describe this in detail and most of the time this is how your day will go. Now I only say most of the time because I work from home and a mum of four crazy children, so sometimes there will be days where its nuts here.

6. Who will you spend time with today and who are you looking forward to seeing today ? Describe why you like seeing those particular people.

7. Write a poem or a verse on your thoughts and feelings today. You can also use this on social media as a post and add a funky photo or picture that goes with this. You can edit and make pictures on Canva.com

8. If you have anything on your mind write that down too because its best to express your emotions on paper or tell a friend/family member.
Never bottle anything up. Its not a great way to start your day.

Love life ,become you

Do you have a morning routine??

Do you have a morning Routine??

 Before I became a business women / mum. This is what my mornings looked like.
Get up whenever the kids woke me up, unless it was a school day then I was up at 6:30am.
Get myself and the kids washed and dressed.
Get a coffee
Feed the kids and out the door!!ARRRGGGHH!
CRAZY RIGHT!!
Most people go through their day and don't have a morning routine and then when they step out of the door and hear some bad news , their day spirals out of control and they have a bad day.


 6. Raise your heart and your vibrations. I do this by dancing and listening to some music I love.
7. Read or listen to personal development .(about 6 pages a day )
Here's some books I recommend
Anthony Robbins- Awaken the giant within
Alan pease- Questions are the answers
Robert Kiyosaki -Rich dad , poor dad

Give it a go and see how you feel but remember, you have to be consistent!

I'm Sarah Louise Marsden. I was born in Reading ,Berkshire
I would like to tell you my story of how I got to where I am today.


Im a busy mum of four and have my own company and I also work with a Network marketing company called FM World. Last year I had a job in my local co-op, I quit that in October 2016 because of my health issues.
I also suffer from arthritis and back pain a lot so it restricts me from lifting and most day to day activities.
Ive done many network marketing opportunities before but the funny thing is,I'd NEVER of self development or had the support from a team and my uplines.
I'd never thought about who was going to be my upline either until February 2016!!

Back in February I was asked by my mother in law if i could get some of those vacuum freshner's so I signed back up with fm, with no intention of doing anything else apart from purchasing products for me and my family.  I found a sponsor I knew that she was working closely with one of the top earners. Thats the reason why I chose to sign up with her, even though I felt this way, somewhere in my mind i had chosen this team leader for a reason.

I found  John and June hall, Roy strong and lots of other people that I had known from the last time I had joined in back 2010, that I'd known to be successful.
This made me remember and realise I really was apart of the top UK team and I had support from everyone.

Things didnt quite work out how I intended them to. I went to 18% from Febuary to October and then things started to go down hill from there.
I wasnt making the money I thought I would and I didn't have a strong team. I knew what i had to do but no one was listening. I couldn't connect with my team.

That's when I GAVE UP!!

I decided to join the peal business, in January 2017. At first I bought from a UK wholesale company and then I opened my own wholesale company,So other people could set up their pearl businesses too.
This has been a BIG learning curve for me and it has taught me a valuable lesson.
I have learnt that in order for people to buy from you or join you, you must build rapport, trust and friendships.
And although my company is very successful , I still have a burning desire to help and serve others.

So I have recently joined back with FM World, for the third time and this time , I WILL MAKE MY DREAMS AND OTHER DREAMS COME TRUE.

No matter how tough or how big the obstacles are. I have a love and a passion for this company.
NOTHING will stop me from doing what I was put on the earth for.
We all have a purpose in life and I INTEND to die empty.
Not with false hopes and unfulfilled dreams and ambition.

This is my calling, Its my time to shine!
I love helping and inspiring others to pursue their dreams.
I will help you reach your goals,dreams and support you to build a successful team.

Love Sarah

Do you know what's in your beauty products?

Labels on cosmetics and body care can be very difficult to understand. The word 'Natural' can be used by anyone or anything. Its the same as the 'Organic', Its misleading!
Companies are supposed to use an organic label if all ingredients are certified organic , but they can also say 'Its made with organic' If it contains a minimum of 70% certified ingredients. It doesn't even matter if the other 30% is toxins and chemicals!

Unless a chemical used in beauty products is proven to cause  harm to human health, It is still classified as GRAS(Generally recognized as safe).

As a consumer, this is shocking to hear. FM world products only contain the best ingredients and if we say its 100% natural or mineral ,it really is.

For instance this is our new Utique face oil. Its 100% natural, contains no preservatives, parabens and artificial colourants.
And heres a List of Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil*, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil*, Glycine Soja Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil*, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil*, Rosa Moschata Seed Oil*, Nigella Sativa Seed Oil*, Oenothera Biennis Seed Oil*, Tocopherol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil*, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Jasminum Officinale Oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol.

*Certified ingredients

When you are given a list f ingredients most people don't know what they mean. Let me explain.
1.Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride- Derived from coconut oil and glycerin, it’s considered an excellent emollient and skin-replenishing ingredient. It’s included in cosmetics due to its mix of fatty acids that skin can use to restore its surface and resist moisture loss. Caprylic/capric triglyceride can also function as a thickener, but its chief job is to moisturize and replenish skin. This ingredient’s value for skin is made greater by the fact that it’s considered gentle.

2.Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil*-Also called argan oil, is the oil expressed from the kernels of the argantree. Treating argan oil with hydrogen results in the production of Hydrogenated Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil. Agania Spinosa Kernel Oil and Hydrogenated Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil may be used in skin care products, eye makeup, lipstick and suntan products.

3.Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil*-Otherwise known as sunflower seed oil.Non-volatile, non-fragrant plant oil used as an emollient in cosmetics. Sunflower seed oil has the ability to help replenish and soothe skin. It’s a rich source of fatty acids skin can use, including linoleic acid, and is excellent for dry skin.

4.Glycine Soja Oil-Soya oil is made up mainly of linoleic (omega 6) and oleic (omega 9) acids. It also contains some linolenic (omega 3) and saturated fatty acids. It is used primarily as cooking oil and to make margarine, but it has several other commercially valuable uses. There are some studies showing that consuming soya oil could be a good alternative to fish oil. In cosmetics, soya oil acts as an antioxidant and it also conditions hair and skin.

5.Immondsia Chinensis Seed Oil*- Emollient, non-fragrant oil similar to other non-fragrant plant oils. Jojoba oil has been shown to enhance skin’s restorative properties. As a plant oil that’s a rich source of fatty acids, and can also provide topical skin-soothing benefits.

6.Ricinus Communis Seed Oil-Castor seed oil contains Undecylenic Acid which, due to its germicidal and disinfectant properties, is useful for treating skin diseases and skin ulcers, particularly those which are caused due to bacterial or fungal infections.

7.Rosa Moschata Seed Oil-Rose hip oil comes from the seeds of a specific variety of rose, “Rosa aff. Rubiginosa” or “Rosa moschata”. A cold-press extraction  method separates the oil from the hips and seeds. The delicate oil needs refrigerated or stored in a cool, dark location to prevent  rancidity. For facial skin care, rose hip oil offers several benefits when applied externally due to its primary constituents: essential fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C and B-carotene, a form of vitamin A.

8.Nigella Sativa Seed Oil-The use of  Black seed oil to beautify and improve the skin condition is well established; in fact, the famed beauty of Cleopatra is believed to be in part due to her use of black seeds. The oil of the Nigella sativa is packed with valuable components like vitamins A, B, and C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and trace elements providing the necessary nutritive factors for skin recovery and repair. Black seed oil also has a number of useful pharmacological actions which make it a fantastic natural option for treating diseases of the skin.
Helps conditions like psoriasis, eczema, acne, fungal nail infections, athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm Nigella sativa has been proven to have a range of anti-cancer effects against many different abnormal cell types.  Specific effects against skin cancer cells have been demonstrated. The rich array of oils provides deep skin moisturization. Additionally vitamin A, amino acids and fatty acids work together to help skin regeneration.






9.Oenothera Biennis Seed Oil-Evening primrose is considered to have beneficial health effects, largely due to its GLA content. Evening primrose is sometimes used to treat eczema.

10.Tocopherol,/(Vitamin E)-One of the most well-known and researched antioxidants. There are eight basic forms of the entire fat soluble vitamin E molecule, which are either synthetically or naturally derived. The most typical forms are d-alpha-tocopherol, d-alpha-tocopherol acetate, dl-alpha tocopherol, and dl-alpha tocopherol acetate. The “d” prefix in front of the “alpha” indicates that the product was derived from natural sources, such as vegetable oils or wheat germ; the “dl” prefix indicates that the vitamin was created from a synthetic base. Research has shown that natural forms of vitamin E are more effective than their synthetic counterparts, but both definitely have antioxidant activity.

11.Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil-Calendula and washes are still used to disinfect minor wounds and to treat infections of the skin. The antibacterial and immuno-stimulant properties of the plant make it extremely useful in treating slow-healing cuts and cuts in people who have compromised immune systems. The herb stimulates the production of collagen at wound sites and minimizes scarring.

12.Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil- This ingredient is known to create a balance between oily and dry skin by balancing the production of sebum; this balance assists in boosting and improving the elasticity of the skin. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, releasing excess water that may be retained in the tissue. This may not only prevent cellulite, but can also relieve swelling. Pelargonium Graveolens also has therapeutic abilities that can calm irritated skin, clear acne, and heal bruises, burns, cuts and eczema, due to its astringent, antiseptic, tonic, antibiotic and anti-infectious properties.

 13.Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil-Function: Conditioning
Description: used as a Skin-Conditioning Agent; also used as a Fragrance Ingredient

13.Cananga Odorata Flower Oil-Ylang ylang essential oil has a number of uses including use for acne, insect bites, oily skin, irritated skin, depression, insomnia, and stress. Ylang ylang flowers are traditionally laid on the bed of newlyweds in Indonesia as they are believed to contain aphrodisiac properties. Use the essential oil in moderation as it can cause nausea and headaches.

14.Jasminum Officinale Oil-The health benefits of Jasmine Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an antidepressant, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, antispasmodic, cicatrisant, expectorant, galactogogue, emmenagogue, parturient, sedative and uterine substance.

15.Benzyl Alcohol-Organic alcohol that occurs naturally in some fruits (apricots, cranberries) and teas. Its chief function in cosmetics is as a preservative, and it’s among the least sensitizing preservatives in use. High amounts of benzyl alcohol can impart a noticeable floral-like scent to products, as it is part of the fragrance makeup of some essential oils such as jasmine.

16.Benzyl Benzoate- Mainly used as a fragrance ingredient and solvent (helps other ingredients dissolve into a solution).

17.Linalool- Linalool is a colourless liquid with a soft, sweet odour. It occurs naturally in many essential oils.

18.Citronellol- Fragrance (Parfum) from natural essential oils. Citronellol is a naturally occurring component of essential oils.

19.Geraniol-
Geraniol is a declarable fragrance which occurs in geraniums, roses, palmarosa and lavender.

As you can see from this explanation, what we say is true. We only sell the best quality beauty and skin care products at fantastic prices.

Why train your team?

When you start team building, part of the income that you earn from the business is generated from the sales that your down line team makes. For this income to grow and increase you need to spend quality time training and working with your team (and down line), so that you are constantly earning that additional income.

As a leader, it is important that you educate, motivate, coach and train your members to run a proficient profitable business. If your team is making money, than you will make money!

Summary

1. Educate: It is your job to educate your members on the company’s policy, code of ethics, marketing plan, products, and the FM opportunity and above all, how to duplicate the teams winning system. When your members are properly educated on all of this, they will have a more successful business.

2. Motivate: A good leader will work really hard to motivate their members to get out there and work the business. This motivation can come in the form of talks, conference calls, webinars, regular meetings and by offering incentives to your members when they reach certain business goals and challenges set by yourself.

3. Coach: I look at coaching as being a little different than training. For me, I like to ask all my members what is their why and what do they want to gain by being in the business - what are their goals?. Once I know this I can then tailor my coaching to each person’s individual needs and personalities. Coaching to me is offering my advice, education, training and experience to help guide them to their own individual success.

4. Train: All team leaders are responsible for training their members and this training is not offered as a one time deal or just at the beginning when someone joins your business opportunity. Training members is taking the Education to an entirely different level. Leaders are responsible to train their members on a ongoing basis.

That means training them on new policy changes, updates on sales specials, new ways on demonstrating products, making sure they are attending the team training webinars and new methods for recruiting. Training is something that is done continually and regularly with the members of your team.

When you spend quality time doing all of the above with the members you are responsible for, they in turn will be better business owners. This will pay off for you because the more successful your members are in their business, the more successful you will be in yours.
