For those of you who are working to build a powerful down line in MLM, here's a tactic you can use to drive traffic.

Get out of your head and get into your heart!  If you want to attract people to you, give them something of value that they can take from you and then apply.
 
When it works, they will come back to you for more!

One of the techniques that I use in groups and forums is to provide an introduction to a blog or article I have created to give people credible "how to" information.  I get their "Attention" doing this.

I then offer even better information through my blogs (in my PROFILE), which entices them to read the blog.  There, I give them a technique that they can apply.  This builds credibility and trust, as well as driving traffic to my PROFILE (generating INTEREST)...

At this time, I will also make the first attempt to get them to my PERSONAL BRANDED website, not my busienss site.  Business sites are secondary...

They are then informed that there is even better information on my BRANDED web site... like a free training course, for example.  This not only gets them on my site (they make a DECISION to visit) and helps my search engine ranking, it gets them into my auto responder, where I continue to help them with the BASICS of marketing.

From there, I work to build the relationship... at which point (because I have given them "stuff" that was good and useful), that they are willing to do whatever it takes to work with me so they can become even more successful.

Keep in mind, you can't fake this.  If you don't have the knowledge, find a good mentor and obtain it.

Never give to much... curiosity satisfied is INTEREST lost...

and remember... A.I.D.A - attention, interest, decision, action!

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
