Erin Smith's official blog. Tips, secrets, and strategies to help you build your online business. Don't get stuck with the outdated, marketing junk that doesn't work!
The fact is, you probably aren’t very good at selling stuff.
Don’t worry, I’m no Picasso at it either… and neither are the vast majority of internet marketers.
The good news? You don’t really have to blatantly pitch anything to make sales, and in fact the best way to sell is so unobtrusive that you’ll feel like you aren’t really selling anything at all.
First of all, head on over to BenSettle.com and subscribe to his email list (I don’t get anything from this, just a GREAT resource). He is the king of what I’m about to describe to you right now. Read the rest of this entry
Ok, the obvious answer is that it’s best to build relationships on the phone, but I know that some people have problems getting people on the phone (or just flat out refuse to do it)
What other ways are there?
First of all, let’s think about how you want to build your business over the next several years.
I’m guessing you want a big team.
I’m sure you want leveraged activities where you do very little work for big results. Read the rest of this entry
The first (and sometimes hardest) step for your fledgling MLM team is to get them working on a plan that will lead them to prosperity.
If you can’t get a few people to begin working towards success, how can you expect to be able to run a team of thousands?
It’s time to sit down and hash out a plan for what your team is going to do to drive them on to success! Even if you don’t have anybody yet, once the plan is in place then you’ll start to attract people to you. Read the rest of this entry
I made this quick little video to show you my best traffic and lead-getting secret.
You’ll see how I get thousands of qualified visitors per month from a single blog post! In fact, with this secret, you can work hard for just a little bit and get traffic FOREVER.
That’s how I get 11,000+ visitors per month even though this is my first post in a LONG time… Check this out:
Pretty cool…
Like I said, if you’re looking for a dead simple way to get thousands of visitors each month, ready to opt in and buy stuff, it’s time to start working smart:
Each of the past 4 months, my blog has broken 10,000 unique visitors, and I’ll probably get to 12 or 13,000 before this month is done!
And… I’ve posted far less than I ever have in the past.
In fact, I used to whip out blog posts 5 or 6 times per week just to maintain a few thousand visitors per month.
So what’s the big change? How is my blog being so consistent even without me posting as frequently as I used to?
I’ve spent several months building up a solid foundation of visitors that won’t go away. Where do these visitors come from?
Google!
Now, even if I don’t put my posts on Facebook or syndicate them all over creation, I’ll still have thousands upon thousands of visitorswithout even logging on the computer.
Here’s how I do it:
That blog post “Does Herbalife Work” actually gets me about a lead per day… imagine if you could do something similar but with dozens of blog posts?
It’s true, building posts around keywords can be a little bit of work, but I’m telling you that it’s BY FAR the best way to build up a lasting traffic and lead generating machine that will last as long as you want it!

"I'm trying to improve my efforts in Marketing! I'm very new at all of this, and to me you just seem more like a real person than most. A lot of the people I talk to about this business are always trying to sell me on their opportunities. Which isn't the problem, the problem is they say they want to help. All I get is sales pitches. You're the best Erin, keep up the good work! It's nice to meet a real person and not just a salesman or saleswoman. When I do get things going forward, I'll always remember you as the person who showed me the way!"
