How To Make DM Work For You

Rick Jorgenson is my sponsor in PIF4P. He has a terrific blog
which all members of his team as well as many others in PIF4P
use on a daily basis. It is a daily guide to his unbelievable
success in PIF4P that he readily shares with us.

Following is his excerpt about Direct Matches:

DirectMatches - Terrific Resource To Get Members

I'm sure most of you have heard of MySpace, the social network
phenomena that has 40+ million members. DirectMatches builds on
that idea but gears it for the professional and network marketing
audience.

DirectMatches is a free to join network where you can create a
profile, network with your primary prospect group and advertise
your PIF4P business.

DirectMatches is the first in the online business and social
networking industry to deploy a multi-matchmaking system that
helps people locate everything from business contacts to network
marketing professionals. It is the first business and social
networking service with a contact management system that
operates on a "dynamic basis", where members are able to select
from dedicated networking communities.

Here's how you can get the most out of your DirectMatches
membership.

If you haven't done so already sign up:

You will want to get at least a "Managing IR" membership
($19.95) to be able to get the most out of this tool.

Once you've signed up you will want to set up your user
profile. There are 3 areas that you will be placing your
profile information. Keep in mind that this information is
used to match you against other members profiles in the
system. Here is what I put in my profile to match the people
I'm most looking for in the system:

Under "Occupation" I checked "MLM". You may want to check
"Retired" and "Self-Employed" as well.

Under "Business Topics" I checked "Ad Strategies", "Internet
Marketing" and "Home Based Business".

Under "Business Interests" I checked "Marketing, Advertising"
and "Networking".

Once you've done that put your other information in and click
on "submit".

You will then be taken to your profile page where you will want
to click on "My Business Matches". You will find that you
should have matched hundreds if not thousands of other members.
This is where you will get started in building your
DirectMatches contact base.

Once you are on the "My Business Matches" page you will want to
start adding contacts. Assuming all of these folks match what
you are looking for, go ahead and start clicking on the "add me
to contacts" button for each one. You want to go through at
least the first 10 pages, which will be 100 contacts. Once
you've done that you can go back to those contact profiles and
send them an email introducing yourself.
Keep it informal and short. Make sure you have your sig file on
the bottom of your email (you can set it up in your email options).

You will now have 100 contacts that you will have made initial
contact with. Hopefully, they should all add you as a contact on
their page. They will automatically show up in your contact
section on your page giving you the opportunity to have regular
communications with them. You will want to continue this process
(adding business matches) on a daily basis. By the end of the
week you should have 700 new contacts to network with and more
than likely a few sign ups into PIF4P.

The next thing you can do as part of your DM strategy is to send
daily group emails out to your contact list. You are limited to
sending it to 60 people a day so plan accordingly. That doesn't
mean you can't send more than that, just that you can only send
60 group messages at a time. I would send a daily tip out,
something that will help them in building their MLM business.
You can tie it to the Success Guide or just something that you
are doing to drive traffic. People will soon start to expect this
from you and you will become an information resource for them.
Send a link to your blog as well as a helpful resource.


Another powerful feature you have within DM is the network
search feature that you will find in your mail page. You will
use it to locate members that are in particular network
marketing companies, like Shaklee or Xango. You will get
back pages of contacts that belong to that MLM group. Once
you've done that you click on "add me to contacts", then I
come back to their profile and click on the email link.

This is what he tells us to email to them. I am using my
links in this example.

Subject Line: Want to build your (insert the
name of their MLM) downline faster?

I'm going to be direct and to the point..

Would you like to find out how to sign up more
members into (insert the name of their MLM)then
you ever thought possible?

Try and send out at least 15-20 of these everyday. It is
a more aggressive approach but it works really well.

The other activity you can do is to post comments on your
contacts page. Simply go to their page and click on add a
comment. You can write a quick note and add the PIF4P
banner in that comment field as well.

By working your DM resource on a daily basis you will bring
a good deal of qualified traffic to your PIF4P website and
start getting signups from that traffic.
