A Key for Network Marketing Success

In any network marketing business the product is important, but when it comes down to it, you are the opportunity that people are investing in. In your business, you are the leader and the brand, for your team to trust you you must be viewed as professional and dedicated. Even with the best network marketing business, the product is second to the leadership that you provide. Owning and using your domain promotes your brand and shows people that you are serious about your business.

When you own a domain name, you can use that domain for a branded professional email address, forward it to the website that your MLM company provides and build your own website. You can print your domain name on business cards, flyers, use it for links on social media accounts etc. When people see those business cards, flyers and links on your social media accounts they see your brand, not gmail’s, aol’s or even your MLM parent company. You will carry your brand with you as your business develops.

These are the things you need to consider when choosing a domain name for your network marketing business.

• Most MLM Companies prohibit you from using their trademarked names in a domain name. Don’t use their name in yours.

• Is it available in social media? When settling on a domain name, make sure that it is available across social media platforms and secure that name on those platforms.

• Chose a name that is easy to spell, avoid dashes in the name and numbers. Numbers can be very confusing in domain names and it forces you to register all variations of the numbered domain, you would need to register the number and the number spelled out. (Register name4.com and namefour.com)

• Use your name as the domain name. A great option for a domain name is your actual name, Arbonne Independent Consultant Monet Sandoval uses Monetsandoval.com. Using your name as the domain name allows you to brand yourself and on the off chance you decide to change network marketing businesses you can easily change over your website and forwarding without losing any of the work you have put into building your brand. If you name is not available, try adding something to it like.. monetsandovalcompany.com or growwithmonet.com

Nothing says “I’m not serious in business” like a gmail, aol or other free unprofessional email address. When you own a domain name, you can use that domain for a professional personalized email address. Using yourname@yourbusinessname.com instantly shows that you have taken the basic steps to build a real business. More benefits of using your own domain name is the ability to provide email addresses to your team and use different address in marketing material to track effectiveness.

Some example email addresses:

sales@kwazadilla.com

support@kwazadilla.com

mlmpromo@kwazadilla.com

Many network marketing companies provide a basic web page. You need to make sure that when people are going to your web page, they actually go to your web page. The URL for this website is usually long and very hard to communicate to people and you run the risk of people getting lost when they are trying to learn more about you or purchase products from you. Making it complicated to get to you costs you money and costs you and your team opportunity.

A domain forwarding example:

Monet Sandoval is an Executive District Manager with Arbonne. She uses her domain name, MonetSandoval.com to direct people to her Arbonne Independent Consultant  Web Page: http://www.arbonne.com/pws/monetsandoval/tabs/home.aspx

You don’t need to be a tech and internet genius to recognize understand the huge professional difference between the two web addresses.

You can also forward your domain to a Facebook page or other social media account if that is where you want to send visitors. We use facebook.kwazadilla.com to our Facebook page and even though we don’t actively use Instagram, we send traffic that visits instagram.kwazadilla.com to our Instagram account

If you’re ready to take your business to the next level, building and controlling your own website is a huge way to help build your brand, your team and your sales! Your own website allows you to link to all your social media accounts, post team training articles, link directly to products and so much more! If you have the time and skill, a website can be built for very little money, around $100 a year, using Managed WordPress Hosting or as little as $15 a year using our Website Builder. If you need to hire a designer, they can cost $500 to $20,000 to build depending on the features and complexity. You would need to determine if such an investment is required to reach your goals.

An example of a custom network marketing business website:

Rebekah Wilhelm is an Origami Owl Independent Designer who uses her website, TheHootLife.com to share some information about her and link to some of her favorite Origami Owl charms.

Registering a domain name is very easy. Use one of the search boxes on this page to check the domain availability, then add it to your cart and follow the checkout process.
