If you are trying to market your business by yourself you are in for a lot of work.
If you have a TEAM (or downline) you can all work together and lessen the load for everyone. You really need marketing help!!

Once you have found people in the same business that you can openly communicate with (think of a skype group), you need to make a plan.

Find a forum that you can all join.
Read the rules, register, fill out your sig lines, do your proper intros….
Now you are ready.

Since each person on the team will have different strengths and topics they like to talk about you can have a mass cover of business sig lines all through the forum. I am not talking about posting ads but, actually participating in general discussions on the forum!

While Judy is talking about music, Bob is in the sports section, Herman is over telling jokes, and Ted is giving people help with fixing their web page. There are now links to ‘Joe Blows Fitness Video’s’ (insert your teams business name) in 4 sections because of the sig lines each member is displaying.


You are going to see the benefits in at least 2 ways doing this; Your team’s business has just now reached 4 times as many eyes. It also gives the idea to other forum members that they maybe missing out on something since so many other people are in ‘Joe Blows Business’.

Get a Group Mentality;

Think about this for a moment. If you are driving down the road and you see a person standing on the side of the road looking out over a lake. You do not think twice about it you may notice them but you do not even think twice or slow down you just drive on by. On the other hand if you are driving down the road and you come across a group of people looking out over a lake your curiosity gets the better of you. You slow down and do a little rubber necking yourself. You may even stop and get out joining the group to find out what you are missing. Bigger is better, more attracts more and that is a fact.

Now, that you are participating in the forum in your favorite areas and have been an asset to the forum you can also place team ads.

You will need to decide if you want to run a team rotator in ads. Or just all run your own link and let the “new potential member” decide who they would like to join under.

One person can go and place an ad in the proper advertising section.

The 2nd team member will place a reply to that ad.
Make sure you are adding NEW information about the business with each reply.

Team member #3 waits and comes in and makes another reply to the same thread. Maybe about a cool conference the business held.

Team member #4 can come in and tell about how they use the product and their results….
Just keep adding information to the same thread.

Do NOT freak out is people in the same business also jump in. As long as they are adding good content they are just building the group ad. You may even ask if they would like to join in your group.

This makes a thread HOT. The more replies in a thread, by a variety of people, will get much more attention then every one running their own.

Note to team: If you all just post the same ad with no personality added then it is just another ad that no one will keep an eye on.

If you are concerned that you may loose a new sign up to a team member – you never had that new member anyway!

People join with others for a variety of reasons. They may have just liked the other person because they had an aunt with the same name, they may just like people from Las Vegas……
Do not worry; the next person may like your name…

If other people in the same business are getting more sign ups, then you need to watch and learn from them. You are your only competition! You may just need to step up your game.
