One of the activities Network Marketers engage in on Facebook is joining groups.

When your purpose is to network with other people involved in MLM who you may want to attract to your business, you want to join groups relating to network marketing and MLM.

You can also join groups whose interest is a particular company or specific lead generation system.

With these groups, the hope is to connect with others who may be struggling to make money in the company they are with.

Groups focused on more general topics like self development, internet marketing, or women in business, will have more members who are not involved in MLM.

While valuable for personal growth and learning, these groups are not as appropriate for finding potential business partners. 

You want to join groups that are active.  Those should end up at the top of your search list.

Look for number of members and see if people have joined recently.

Look on the group’s site and see if the group owner posts events and discussions on a fairly regular basis.

Once you join a group, pay attention to the messages the group sends you.

About once a week is enough, otherwise it gets too time consuming and annoying. 

Are they sending valuable content to help you solve your problems or are they spamming you for their opportunity?

If groups annoy you with their messages or event invitations, or don’t do anything at all (messaging encourages activity from other members) then leave the group.

Periodically go through your groups and leave the ones you are not active in or ones that are not growing or offering content.

Remember, your time is money. 

As an entrepreneur building a business from home…probably part time along with all of your other life’s demands…you cannot afford to waste time.

Believe in Your Success, I Do!

In my last post about Mentoring For Free and the Big Lie, I exposed the hidden costs behind Mentoring For Free.

Namely, the Mentoring For Free Pro Version and the collection of CDs and ebooks Michael sells.

Mentoring For Free Pro 

Anyone in any company can use the training program as a lead generation system.  The Mentoring For Free Pro version offers…

• the ebook branded with your name and contact information,
• a back office to store your leads (those who download the ebook) that belong solely to you,
• an auto-responder,
• splash pages,
• an ad tracking system.  

Mentoring For Free is NOT an Affiliate Program.
None of the Mentors make any commissions from people joining the Mentoring For Free pro Version.

Mentoring For Free Pro is a reasonably priced lead generation system when compared to other systems available today.

Mentoring For Free CDs & ebooks For Sale

Michael Dlouhy sells a Personality Colors CD and ebook and an ebook about the 5 Pillars to Success.

Like most Mentors, I recommend people keep their credit cards in the freezer.  There is no need to buy anything until you read the ebook and see the total training program we have to offer.

All of the information in the CDs and ebooks Michael sells is offered in our free training program.  On top of that, the Mentors who blog or write articles for the internet, are writing about this information all the time.

So WHY does Michael offer these CDs and ebooks for sale if the information is free anyways?

Different strokes for different folks…

• Some people want the information in a defined, concise, and convenient format.
• Some people think information is only valuable if they pay for it.

What About the Lie?

The big question still hasn’t been answered.
Fess up to the lie.
What does Michael and his posse of Mentors GET from Mentoring For Free?

OK, OK, You got me!

Mentoring For Free is a lead generation system that offers a FREE ebook and free training…10 tele-seminars every week plus all the trainings since 2007 recorded and archived for anyone to listen to 24/7… plus access to your own personal mentor…a real live person.

All this to attract business leads.

Feel a little like you’re part of a cat & mouse game?
Is this where the Lie is exposed?

Here is where you have to learn how to lose your agenda.

Mentors help everyone, no matter what business they are in.
Oh, and all of the training is generic…no companies or products are mentioned.
The person you download the ebook from will not tell you their company.

But Why?

Let’s say out of every 10 people who download the ebook,

• 5 of them are happy with their companies and are just looking for some training. 
• 3 of the people are with companies that they know, at least deep down inside, are a bad deal, and are looking for help. 
• And 2 are looking to join a company and are doing research.

If you’re married, you wouldn’t like it if someone who knew you were married asked you out on a date.

Nobody likes being pitched either.
If someone’s with a company, they don’t want an opportunity thrown at them.

Only a few of the people who download the ebook will actually be interested in joining the Mentor in their business.

And that’s good!

• Who wants to be a sponsor monster and bring in anyone with a pulse?
• Isn’t it better to get to know each other first?
• Isn’t it better to find out who is serious about their personal development? 
• Isn’t it better to find out who is serious about learning business building skills and applying them through persistence?

So that is why Michael teaches us to lose our agenda.  This gives us the freedom to help anyone in need of learning these skills whether they join us or not.

In fact, it is not until a person goes through the training program and learns the concepts and skills that we teach that either the mentor or the client can make a realistic decision to become business partners.

It’s not until then that the Mentor will share his/her company information with their Client.

If they won’t become business partners, that’s great too.  They both get lifelong friends and the Client has accessed an invaluable training.

Still think there’s a big lie?
Maybe the style of Mentoring For Free is not for you.
Maybe you’re just a skeptic.
Well, you have a choice to make.
Remain a skeptic and walk away.
Or, get over it and get plugged into the system.
