Who Is Linus Ruzicka?

Facebook is the #2 website in the entire world, making it a great place to generate Free MLM Leads for your business.

And Today I’m going to show you why you need to be using a Facebook Group in your online business.


Think of It This Way

The more exposure you get, the more traffic you get.  Simple.

The more traffic you get, then obviously the more leads you will generate.  Again…simple.

See, Facebook has a ton of different ways to get a even more exposure for you and your brand.

Using a Facebook group is another way to get that massive exposure so you can get a ton of leads – even on Facebook.


Facebook Group vs Fan Page

You might be wondering why you would want a Facebook group over a Facebook fan page.

Well you don’t want to use one versus another. I actually use both.

Each of them have little specialities about them that will allow you to get all the benefits possible.

Here are just some of the benefits of using a Facebook Group:

• You can have as many group members as you’d like. There is no limit.  Mine is currently around 940.
• You can e-mail your ENTIRE group all at once with a message.  This is huge, and I’ll tell you why in a second or two.
• You can create group events to get massive exposure with not only your group members, but also with your Personal Facebook friends as well.  Invite your friends to webinars, live events in your area, etc.
• You have more control over what your group members can and cannot do while in your group.

A Second “List”

A Facebook group is a lot like having a 2nd list – and Facebook allows this.

Communicate with them as you would with your own autoresponder list.

When first starting out with a group, I think it’s a great idea to start sharing knowledge and increasing your own value in front of this audience.

After you start building a familiarity with them then you can use content that corresponds with the knowledge you’re sharing and that you can make money with.

For example, if you’re do a blog post on copywriting techniques, consider using your affiliate link with the Magnetic Sponsoring’s “Copywriters Guild” within the post.

The way I regularly use my list is that after you write a blog post that shares some value, send your group a message with the direct link to your blog post.  Simply give a short synopsis and the link to the post.

Don’t give the whole article because then they have no real reason to visit your site.  Entice them to visit and finish reading the post on your blog.


**My Recommended Tip**

As you can clearly see, having a group is a great way for you to gain more exposure on the internet.

The exposure will ultimately lead to you being able to generate free MLM leads daily.

But you’re probably wondering how to get those leads right?

The Key is to have a compelling offer in your lead capture page that is on your blog.

Whether it’s a static form on your site or a pop over form, it doesn’t matter.  Just use one and make it compelling!!

BLOW THEM AWAY and “over-give” on value or bonuses.

It’s like a teeter-totter.  The more value you can put on their side of the teeter totter, the more likely they are to opt-in.


Creating A Group

You can create a group on Facebook by following this link:  http://www.facebook.com/groups/create.php

Simply work your way thorough the steps, and you’re ready to go.

My next post will be a video tutorial on how to create this group from scratch and some cool things you can do for your group page.

So look for that in the coming day or two.


Find This Post Newsworthy?

O.k., I know it’s A LOT to ask you for this super HUGE, GIGANTIC favor, but I need 5 seconds of your day.  (Like I said, this is a HUGE favor).  There is a little green and blue button at the top of this page.  (I’m even exhausted just thinking about the strain it will take you to do this).  But….phewwwww….I want you to click each of those buttons for me.

Dang, I’m going back to bed I’m so tired from just thinking about this.  I don’t know how you’re going to make it back to the top of this page and spend 5 seconds clicking those green and blue buttons.

(…did I embellish it enough yet?)

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

Sometimes I’m simply amazed at the timing of things.


Tomorrow is the launch of something big for my entire team!

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for what is about to go live tomorrow!

My team is celebrating it’s 2 year anniversary, and we’re unleashing 5 intense, raw, and un-cut training videos with some of the biggest names in the industry.  Something like this has NEVER been done before.  It’s going to blow you away!

I wanted to give you a heads-up to be on the lookout for an update from me tomorrow1


Then on top of that…

This weekend I am launching a contest for you and my mastermind team – ALSO in celebration of my 2 year anniversary with my team.

And that’s right…I said “you.”

The only hints I’m going to tell you are that it involves my mastermind team, an insane blog training that is going to BLOW your blogging up, a unique contest, and an amazing “technological” prize.

I don’t want to give away too much here.  I simply wanted to give you a scoop of some stuff coming down the pipeline from myself and my team.

Simply keep an eye out for my messages over the next few days.

I promise you, you WILL NOT want to miss out on the value of what’s coming your direction in the next few days!


Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

One of the topics I’ve been covering in recent months is how to increase your blog conversions.

Afterall, blogging is a GREAT way to brand yourself.  If you’re putting out great content and value, it’ really pretty easy to generate leads just on content alone.

(And yes…you still need a lead capture form somewhere on your blog.  Maybe even a pop-over form)

Now, I’ve talked in great lengths in the past on how easy it really is to get traffic to your blog, so today I’m going to give you some more tips on ways to get that traffic to convert more.


#1 – First and Foremost

Create good content, provide value, and give others a reason to read your blog in the first place.

No value = no visitors.  Plain and simple.

It amazes me the people that STILL don’t get this #1 factor!


#2 – Ask Them To Subscribe to Your Blog Feed

There are a TON of ways to invite people to subscribe to your feed.

The main reason I include this is because it will get people coming back to your site.

When you provide quality to your feed subscribers, the more they come back, and the more they come back, the greater your chance that they opt-in to a lead capture form.


#3 – Include A Free Course

The sooner you get a free course on your site that is simple CHUCK-FULL of value, the sooner you’re going to have leads coming in to register for it.

Look at mine on the right of this page here.

It’s simply a 7 day training course on creating traffic and converting that traffic into leads.

There is a graphic and right above it is a video.


#4 – The Video

The reason for the video is 2 prong.

• Video introduction welcoming your traffic to your site.  (I would NOT recommend setting it on autoplay).  Watch my video for an example of what to say.
• The video will also introduce them to your free course.  So make sure that you put the video near the free offer to that you can point it out and they don’t have to go looking for it.

#5 – Keep People On Your Blog

The longer that eyes are on your site, the more likely they are to find something they like.

When they find something they like, they act.  And in this case, they act by opt-ing in to a course you’re offering.

It’s simply human psychology.

The key then becomes ways to keep people’s eyes on your blog.

Here are some plug-ins that you can use to keep peoples eyes on your blog:

• Comment Redirect - This plugin sends people to a thank you page after they leave you a comment. You can ask them to subscribe to your free offer when they get to the re-direct.
• Related Posts – At the end of each blog post, this plug-in will add a list of related posts that are similar to the post you just created.  If the post you just wrote was attractive enough, they will be attracted to the related posts at the bottom. (if you’re look at the bottom of this post, you’ll see what I’m talking about).
• WP Thread Comment – My blog theme DOES NOT like the Disqus plugin.  So I was forced to find a different option.  And honestly, I PREFER this one to Disqus.  It creates a thread of comments that LOOKS a lot more  attractive.
• Fast and Secure Contact Form – This is a cool little plugin that allows people to contact you directly.  If you don’t make it obvious for people on how to seek you out, they won’t go looking.  And you NEVER KNOW what they may want to contact you about.
• Popularity Contest – This is exactly like it says.  It creates a widget on your blog that shows the most popular posts.  People are inherently drawn to popularity and will want to read more.  This means they’re staying longer on your site.

So folks, there you have it, the best ways to Increase Your Blog Conversions by keeping their eyes on your site as long as possible.

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

Have you ever thought about how to generate leads from webinars?

Believe it or not, webinars are a great money making opportunity!

It’s just that there aren’t a lot of people using it, so now is the time to take advantage of some free training.


Here’s How You Do It:

**Disclaimer: This method will NOT work if you are doing a mastermind webinar with a group of people. It is too hard to add in your own affiliate links for each individual person. So I do not recommend that you present links unless there is a way to benefit the ENTIRE group (i.e. – a group marketing product that you have created).

(Hint hint…look out for one that we’re putting out in late August or early September).

The methods I’m going to talk about below are only if you’re doing the webinar by yourself.

Also, I prefer to use GoToWebinars for my webinars.  What I describe below is in the GoToWebinar format.


1. Catchy Title

Use something as simple as “Linus Ruzicka LIVE Q&A -Plus a Bonus “Open Immediately”

Make sure to put the “Bonus” in the message.

If you have other Copywriting skills, feel free to use them here too.


2. Put The Bonus In The Message

When creating the body of your message, make sure to put the link to whatever your free “Bonus” is inside the body.

It could be an e-book, video bootcamp, free coaching session, etc.

Whatever it is, just make sure that it’s valuable and you label it as the “bonus.”

This is the leverage piece you use to get the people to open your message PLUS, you’re giving them something of quality and value for free.

Also, in the signature of the message, this is where you place your first affiliate link that you want someone to visit.


3. “Where To Send Attendees”

If you are sending people to an affiliate link , here is the second spot where you place the affiliate link.

When setting up the webinar, it gives you an option of where to send the people to after you register.

Simply place your affiliate link in here, and after they register for the webinar, they will be redirected to your site.


4. Reminder Messages

When you set up a webinar, you can set reminders for your attendees.

Under the “Change Settings” section that you see after you set-up the webinar:

Select “E-mail notifications” in the drop down menu:

• Here you can customize the “confirmation email.”
• You can also send reminder e-mails to registrants and invitee’s.  Make sure that you set up all three to be sent at “1 day” “2 hours” and “1 hours”
• Then personalize the reminder message to include your affiliate link

5. The Webinar Itself

Since you are actually doing a webinar, a smart idea is to connect the topic of your webinar to your affiliate links.

For example, if you’re doing a webinar about qualifying your prospects make your content about that, then consider putting in your links to “Black Belt Recruiting” from Mike Dillard at the end of the webinar.

Also, then at the very end of the webinar, mention where you learned your skills in how to qualify your prospects and give them your affiliate link to Black Belt Recruiting.


6. “Follow-up messages” To Attendees

In the same drop down section, you can customize the follow up message that is sent to attendees that were on the webinar.

Set your affiliate link inside the message and schedule it to go out 1 hour after the webinar.


7.”Follow-up messages” to No-Shows

You can personalize a message that is sent to the folks that registered, but didn’t attend your webinar.

Again, customize the message to include your affiliate link and have it scheduled to be sent out 1 hour after the end of the webinar.

Make sure to “Save Changes” at the bottom and you’ve now monetized your webinars!

Advice: For the first few webinars that you do, you may want to warm them up to what you’re doing to get them used to seeing your affiliate links, so consider posting your affiliate links in only a few spots.

So there you have it – this is how you monetize and geerate leads from your webinars.

Guys,

Todays post is quick and easy:

A Quick Survey For you:  Click Here To Take Survey

And a little clue as to what I’m doing:

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

So, people have been asking me, “Linus, what was your main ‘ah-ha’ moment? The biggest thing you took away from the No Excuses Summit?”

Well, there were so many people to learn from, so I could have easily said that I learned a ton from all of the speakers.  Here are some of the other questions I’ve been getting:


Was there one specific person that stood out?

Yeah, Jarik Robbins talking about Mindset and personal development was exactly what I needed.


Was there one specific thing that you took away?

Yeah – get out to live events!


Is there going to be another No Excuses Summit?

Neither Ray and Ferny are sure.  If they do, it won’t be until next year.


What about you Linus, what was your impression?

Well folks, to learn about my impression, what I took out of it all, what I learned, and what really hit home for me, I’ve created a video.

And yes, I even get a little emotional.

I get honest with myself.

I hold nothing back and I spill my guts, and let you know exactly what I’m thinking.

Here is the video:

Please Share!

I hold nothing back here and even though I get emotional and spill my heart out, I’d like you to Facebook “Share” or “Retweet” this post on Twitter. Simply click the blue or green buttons at the top of the page.


Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

Life Changing!

Really!

That’s all that I can say.

I’m going to let the following explain why:


Jairek Robbins

The day started off with Jairek Robbins, award winning performance coach.

He discussed personal break throughs with personal development, personal growth, and intelligence.  And then led us on a path of figuring out where we are now with our physical  body, wealth, and spirit.

Ferny and Ray couldn’t have picked a better person to start the morning off.  I’ll explain more later on, but you have to realize that because of what Jairek said to me during his breakout session, my life and my business has taken a leap that I was never sure would actually come.  So Jairek, if you’re reading this…thank you!


Norbert Orlewicz

Next up was Norbert, co-owner and creator of My Lead System Pro.

He discussed leadership and communication being the foundation of your business.

If anyone knows leadership and how to communicate, it’s Norbert.  I know this because not only is he a good friend of mine, but one of my closest mentors.

Brian Fanale

Brian, co-creator and founder of My Lead System Pro, took the stage next and discussed systems – go figure!

He talked about how to use a sales funnel system and gave away one of his top secret strategies of how to generate leads from webinars.

Oh, he also mentioned some passing little fad known as Facebook PPC.  Just kidding Brian!

For those of you in MLSP, keep an eye out for the info about this Facebook PPC training in your backoffices.  What they have planned for us in MLSP is going to turn Facebook PPC on it’s back.

And we got a sneak peek of it this weekend!

(Not a member of MLSP yet?  Click Here to get signed up today).


Mike Dillard

Up next was some guy named Mike Dillard who did a Live Q & A.

I’ve never heard of him before…have you? (j/k)

Funny thing is, I almost ran right into him – literally. We were out on break after a later session, and we were walking through a crowded hallway.

Next thing I knew, here was Dillard, standing right in front of me.

I can see why Mike is such an awesome person!

Todd Falcone

Man…I’d hate to follow Mike Dillard, but that’s exactly what Todd had to do.

Nevertheless, he had a great talk simply about prospecting, but AWESOME in content.  Too bad you weren’t there to catch it!

That’s o.k., you’ll have a chance soon to catch all of the content at The No Excuses Summit DVD


Jonathan Budd

Jonathan took us on a trip through his success online.

Fr0m his early days with what worked for him back then, and compared it to what he was doing today.

Jonathan said it best:  “If we’re beings of limitless potential, the how can we not succeed in this business?”


Well folks, thats it.  The end of Day #2.

Stay tuned for tomorrow for Day #3 and a special video I created for you guys.

In the mean time, take a second or two and click the little green re-tweet button and blue Facebook Share button at the top.


Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

You guys…Seriously!

If you’re reading this right now, and you’re NOT at the No Excuses Summit, what was your excuse for not being here?

This is literally THE largest gathering of the minds of internet marketing leaders that this industry has ever seen.

Day #1 featured Jimmy Davis, Justin Christianson, Jeff Learner, Ray Fong, & Ferny Ceballos.

The content that they taught on just Day 1 alone was value enough to pay the full price of this event, but there’s still 2 more full days left!


Are You Starting To See The Big Picture?

The sheer amount of networking that I was able to do in this first day was INSANE.

I got the chance to meet people I’ve gotten to know on Facebook, or I’m following their blogs, or keep track of their videos.

I’ve gotten to network with people that are already 7 figure earners, because I chose to come to this event.  How powerful is that for branding?

And out of all of the people I’ve networked with, who knows which connection today will lead to a future partnership that has the potential to lead to hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

And believe me when I say this…I have already made 2 million dollar connections here in Vegas that have the potential to entirely change the face of how my marketing is done today.

So do you think that it’s possible that if you were here as well, that you might be able to network, build some new relationships, and strike out into a new territory that you have only dreamed of in the past?

That is why live events are so important!


But…

…I’ll be honest.  Not up until early this year, had I looked at the importance of live events, and training, and increasing my own value.

I didn’t realize that at all until just right before the New Year 2010.

It was then that I made a commitment to change not only my life, but the life of others as well.

And the easiest way to do that is to learn, train, soak in information, and network with people so that I can increase my own value to turn and give it to others.

And what a potential  wealth earning decision it was!

Anyways, enough about that.

Here is some videos and pics from Day 1 of the No Excuses Summit:

Without Further Ado, here is my Day #1 video:

Yo Le, Danny Noorian, and Linus kicking off the No Excuses Summit	Katie Freiling and I just before the show starts
Jordan Schultz and myself waiting for the Summit to start .	One of my mentors, Norbert Orlewicz, and myself at the No Excuses Summit after party

So there you have it folks!

This is some of the stuff you missed out on…but fortunately for you, this ENTIRE 3-Day summit was recorded and will be made available to you in the coming weeks so that you can learn from the same 17 speakers that I did.

Keep an eye out for my posts about Day #2 and #3 in the next few days!

Leaving No Networker Behind,





P.S. – See those little green and blue buttons at the top of this post?  I’d like you to click each one, because you’d help me out with a little experiment that I’m running.  I thank you for your help in advance!

Over the last few months, MLSP has been holding daily wake-up calls, all of which are high value, high motivation calls.

Well earlier this week there was one call that struck me as profound – and for a lot of reasons really.

But the reason I mention it here is that if you “get it” with this concept, you too can find immediate MLM success.

Because what I’m about to show you really gets down to the core of network marketing and how successful you are yourself.

So here’s what I took away from the call that was hosted by Jim Chao.


My Take Away

Lately Jim’s been thinking about the success stories we hear on the internet and how so many people are overnight successes.

But why is it that some struggle forever with nothing to show for it?

Most of the leaders have these incredible stories, but what are those stories?

Norbert Orlewicz sponsored 6 people in his first 6 years in this industry.  Then he went on the internet and made 20K+ within his 1st 6 mos.

Jim Chao, himself, was in for 3.5 years… without many results. Even though he worked so hard for 3.5 years it was in his 1st 90 days of internet marketing when he made his first 10K+ month.


So What Were They Doing Different?

Jim will be the first to tell you that even though he didn’t make any money in the beginning, he was doing all the grunt work necessary.

He was going to the live events, soaking in all the training available, and he was building his foundation.

He was internalize what he was learning, hearing, reading, and turning it into his own.

Yes,  part of the formula is about driving massive amounts of traffic to your website but if you completely skip over your own self development, you’re missing the majority of the possibilities for success.

So once your traffic goes into your sales funnel that’s where your value and training comes into play. You have to build your leadership skills!


Become The Best of Yourself
1. Find a role model

2. Be inspired… and not just for one day either.  Being dependent on external forces to motivate is only going to hurt you when things get really tough. You need to find that internal motivation!

3. Learn from and copy from the leaders out there, from your role models.

4. That is when you develop yourself. You will develop your own style by taking what you’ve learned and using it for yourself.


So You’re Driving Traffic But Still Not Making Money?

Why?

What’s missing?

Did I mess up on copy or the headline?

Are there tech issues?

Well guess what?  It doesn’t matter.

If you have developed a solid mindset and increased your value enough, then the worrying doesn’t matter because it’s about learning the attraction factor.

As a result, your lead conversion will increase.


Remember The Magic Formula:

• Build a list
• Build a relationship with your list
• Monetize your list

If you’re not converting traffic then go out and learn what you can do to increase your conversions.  Try following the leaders and pay attention to what they’re doing.  Most of the leaders hold their own webinars and use multiple capture pages.

Envision who you want to become. You will develop your own unique style.

The entire equation is not complete until you’ve developed yourself.

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,





P.S. -  Keep an eye out over the next few days.  I’m sitting here in Vegas at the “No Excuses Summit.”  Over the next few days, keep an eye out for my updates from the event and obviously some cool tidbits for your own businesses.  Gotta spread the love right?

After an awesome 4th of July weekend and a little bit of time to catch up on some more training I’ve been meaning to do, today I wanted to get back to some basics of Facebook marketing.

Specifically, how to automate 90% of your Facebook marketing.


Now, Hold on A Sec…

You’re probably thinking “Hey Linus, didn’t you just do a “New” Facebook marketing webinar where you were talking about being involved actively and personally with Facebook?”

And my answer is “Yes.”

But, the emphasis on that webinar was your personal realationship building with prospects, your leads, and your team.  And how to gather all of the above for your business.

This post specifically is about your marketing and content syndication on Facebook.


Facebook Automation

It takes way too much time to manual wrestle with Facebook, and it’s totally not necessary. You can automate 90% of your Facebook efforts with a few simple settings.



1.  Connect Your Blog feed to Your FB Profile

• Simply go to your FB profile and select the “Notes” tab at the top.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and select “See More Notes”
• Almost in the middle of the screen you’ll see a blue/grey box called “Notes settings,” and click on the “Import a Blog” link.
• In the “Web URL” box, enter in your blog feed address, minus the “http://” part.  So in my case it is www.linusruzicka.com/feed  (If you need your feed address, it’s just your blog web address with “/feed” at the end).
• A new window will open asking to confirm your blog import, so click the “Confirm Import” button.
• That’s it!

Importing a blog feed automates your content syndication and will cut down on your time significantly!

Whenever you publish a new post on your blog, Facebook will automatically notify all your friends in your mini-feed. Your current friends will see it and some will respond.

Keep in mind that this will also work with Twitter and YouTube. Simply do a search for their applications on Facebook, follow the instructions, and you’re automated with those as well. Just make sure that you do a search solely for the applications.


2. Connect Your Blog to Your Facebook Fanpage

I did an entire post about this a few months back.  Here is the link to that post: “How To Connect Your Blog to Your Facebook Fanpage”


3.  Add Facebook Friends Automatically

I’m going to assume that you have a list that you’re building.

If so, all that you need to do is send the members on your list a “let’s be friends” message within 3 days of them opt-ing into your list.  Simply create a “follow-up” message for Day 3 or 4, add it to your message list, and you’re good to go.

The only point of this email should be about how you want to be friends on Facebook.

You can also add your Facebook profile link to your email signature as well as your auto-responder signature.

All you’re saying is “I’m on Facebook and I’m active…come check me out.”

Then BAM!  When they check out your profile, they’re going to be opened up to a whole new world of you!


Friend Adder Bots?

NO!  Plain and simple.

If you are using a friend adder application for Facebook, you will be red-flagged and given a warning – if you’re lucky.

Most people end up getting their user accounts suspended or worse yet, deleted.  Even without warning.

So if you want to play the friend adder bot game, that’s fine.  But don’t say I didn’t warn you!


Am I Your Friend?

If for some reason you haven’t added me as a friend on Facebook, click here to get to my Facebook profile.  Stop by, leave me a note, and say howdy.

I promise I’ll respond!

Also, notice the little blue “Facebook Share” button at the top of this blog post?  Take a few seconds and spread the word about the fact that you found this post helpful for you and your Facebook Marketing Strategy.
