[Do]s and [don't]s of MPM advertising.
DON'T
Don't EVER lie about My Power Mall.Never ever. This is VERY important. It is tempting to do that at the beggining, but DON'T do that. People won't trust you anymore in anything, and you'll bring shame to the business. That was Amway's biggest fail in my country. Don't let your own business fail. Sometimes people only need more time to think. Just give them a flyer.
If they ask you how much money you make with this, but you don't have active downlines yet, tell them that honestly! Don't try to trick them! Just tell them, that you are only a beginner at this, but some people can make a lot of money with it, and it is free to join, so they can give it a try and see the system for themselves, and quit anytime they want to.
And one more thing. Not everybody is as open as you are. Some people are not suitable for this kind of work and you have to accept that.
Be patient.
That will make you a better person.
Don't be an aggressive promoter
If they say no, don't be like "but you HAVE TO join this! It is the greatest thing!". It is, but they don't know it yet, and if somebody would just walk up to you saying that, would you start giving up on your free time for him? Of course they are working for themselves, but they might not see that at first!
Just hand them a flyer. If you behave agressively, you will get avoided later!
You don't want that.
Don't get impatient
For me, it took a LOT of time to get my first referrals. Some people just can't wait that long and quit, because they feel like they can't do this.
Don't get impatient. The oppurtunity is free to try for everyone (free to join, and they don't have to confirm their membership for the next month if they don1t want to), there WILL be people who are interested in the thing. Think about yourself! You are one of those people too! Besides, this thing is a life-long business, not only for 2 or 3 months.
If you are totally discouraged use your Income Calculator. Try the calculation with only 2 members and 10 dollars per month. Now THAT is nice too, isn't it?! And for only 3 active members. Through your whole life.
That is not impossible, right?
Also, you can contact me if you need encouragement, or you have problems.
Know the system
Shocking as it seems, most members don't know how the money is flowing in the system. I'm trying to tell you in short.
Let's say a store pays 10% back from the purchase. You don't get the 100% of the 10%.
If you own a personal mall, you'll get 90%, and 10% goes to your upline.
If you own a business mall, you'll get 7%. The rest goes to the uplines according to the table. 14 if it is your direct upline, 29% two levels above you, 35% to level three, 3% to levels 5-9 if they exists. If they don't, I guess it goes to the company from which they pay for the server, the staff, and from the company's income 7% goes to the kids. Be proud that you can help them.
DO
Try to have your own landing page.People tend to only type "mypowermall.com" from the business card, and not the whole length of the link. So even if they join, they won't join under YOU. You don't have to buy a landing page at iMedia. CREATE one like mine is. You can find tools at the "free tools" setion on my page. There are also a lot of free hosting services.
At your site, it is important for people to see, that it is a FREE thing, and 100% honest and legal, because people are paranoid about scams these days, not without a reason, I say...
Also, if you have it in your own language AND in english, that is even better.
Tracking
Use Google Analytics to see which ad sites were the most effective for you! You can even track the time spent on the page. You can track the country they were from, which keyword helped them to find you, or even the browser they used. It'll help you a lot in optimising your page.
See a screencap here.
Keep flyers with you everywhere.
You never know who you might meet up, who wants one! It even surprised me who were interested in it even after I told them all the bad stuffs about the business. (Not THAT bad. Things like we have fewer shops than US members do.)
They are also cheaper than business cards.
Want-ads
Post in the local newspaper or free want-ads paper, or on Internet want-ads site. A lot of people are browsing them every day.
Products
If you are talking to people about My Power Mall, then tell them what you have bought or what other people can buy at their malls, and also tell them it is pretty new in your country, so there will be more oppurtunities to save money on things. Everybody likes to save money on things they need to buy.
For this, you need to know your shops.
Example: When I tell people from the US, that they can save money on gas, they look surprised and get curious instantly. For this, I had to look through my mall's shops.
Family
If you are living with a family, ask your family members if they want to join you. Tell them it is free to join, so you are not asking for money from them or anything like that. It is just an oppurtunity. Show them the videos, if they ask things, tell them you don't want to answer their quetions, because you might give the wrong answers (See training letters), but since every information is free, they can find the answers in the training letters and the letters from Ginny.
Signatures
Put your site's link into all of your forum signatures, or even in your mails.
Don't be shy. Shy people will get left behind, and besides... You ARE proud of your free My Power Mall oppurtunity, aren't you?!
Webmasters
Contact other webmasters who own a Work-frem-Home page, and offer them linkexchange. Your site might get more visitors through their page.
US
It's hottest in the US, right? Most of shops ship only there. Yet.
Try to get people on your team who know people from the US, or the US citizens you know yourself. If you have something in which you are interested in, try to find a forum, where US citizens are sharing their thoughts, and put out the link of your landing page in your signature. This way you can discuss about the things you are interested in, and get people for your downline.
This is only important in the first few months, until other shops join too. Then it won't be important anymore, and you can concentrate on your own country only.
However, don't close your eyes on the oppurtunities around you! Almost all people in my downline are NOT from the US.
Training letters
Go and read them. All of them. They help a lot. You'll get them one by one from Ginny, so you don't have to search for them, but make sure you read them.
If you are starting with no money, then reading the "starting from broke" trainging is very important to you before you read all the others. It'll feel you better about your situation.
Skype
I'm using Skypecasts to tell people about the program. I use a different Skype account for this one, to avoid getting abused. So I host a skypecast, they join, then listen to what I'm saying. Usually a pre-recorded mp3 track is running, and if they ask anything, I pause it, and answer them.
Do this only, if you really have a lot of time. And you must know that most of the people there only want to get to know you and not the business. Be sure to be strict with such people. Also, it might be very annoying.
Good side: Not many people are using this method, although you can reach all continents through it.
Homepages that helped me
You can join these pages if you want, although you DON'T HAVE TO, of course, I'm only sharing them with people who don't know where to start to promote their business on the Internet. Most of them are affiliate programs, which is good for us, because people are looking for business oppurtunities over there, so you can say that these programs work like 'targeted ads' for us.Don't get too carried away. My Power Mall is the very best of the sites on the net, so only use these as tools.
The sites are listed in the order of importance. (How much traffic they accumulate compared to the work you have with them.)
APSense:
Apsense is just great for you! This is a community, where the members are ONLY home business oppurtunity seekers and shops.
Most of my visitors come from that page, and the best thing is, that this is actually free targeted advertising, AND you'll get a chance to buid a free landing page, get free hosting, AND you can earn some money with this site after the views of your biz center views(Of course not that much).
If you join, add me, so I can give you a good rating.
Morachat:
Paid forum. Talk about anything you want with people who really want to talk about it! A lot of people were new to My Power Mall a while ago. I haven't visited it so far, but surprisingly I still get traffic from there.
Getref:
You can get referrals for your programs here. Of course My Power Mall is one of them. People get credits for signing up to your programs and you can earn signup credits from joining theirs. You can also buy them if you want, but I didn't do that. I've got most of my sign-ups from here, although they were not as active as people who joined through my landing page.
StartXchange:
Best hit-exchange program I've seen so far. You can advertise your landing page with this. It has paid membership too, but I recommned having a free membership. Don't spend money to earn money.
MyLot:
Paid socializing site with a lot of features. It's a forum that has money-making part where people give eachother tips about making money, and they are even getting money for it! I've got a lot of traffic from here, because even newbies join this site.
Zodiac Ads:
Paid To Read site, where I use my earned points for paid-to-click advertising. I'm the only one promoting My Power Mall over there so far, so there are not much rivals. :)
Moratraffic:
I used the money-making forum to promote My Power Mall here. The site is very nice even if you don't only use it for promoting.
Free Trafficbar:
Placing a small traffic bar on your screen gives your site free traffic. Gives you a credit fter each siteview. If you use it, when StartXchange is running too, you can hit two birds with one stone. Free accounts can promote 3 sites the same time, and you can target different groups.
Yuwie:
Kind of like myspace. You can create a My Power Mall centered profile, and have a landing page like that. (If you add me there, we can accumulate more traffic together.)
Jammin Clicks:
A program where you click on ads and in exchange, you'll get clicks for your own ads.
Box of Dollars:
The same as Jammin Clicks, even the owner is the same.
[WARNING] THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE SCAM SITES [WARNING]
These sites are SCAM sites. (See my scams-related page)I use them, because they have a good conversion rate. I read an amount of letters and put out paid-to-click link.
I post the statistics up as

These should be more than enough now, but if you still need some more programs, then take a look around on my site.
Wishing you a successful day!
