Jeff, what's your secret! You still have time to reach your goal. That's awesome... I'm jealous.
See, my thing is I LOVE LOVE LOVE to shop online, even before MPM! The thought of going to the mall or trecking from store to store with 2 kids makes me cringe. And I've found some awesome deals online... I have most of my X-mas shopping done, shipped to me FREE and I paid peanuts for some high quality toys. It's the way to go!
Getting a downline and having them shop is key to this working in the long run. I need to find more people like myself.

Quoting: jschuman I had set a goal of having a downline of 1000 people by Thanksgiving and am at 916 now, so I may hit it.
WOW!!! You've got over one % of the entire membership! Good going!!
I have only been involved for about two weeks, and am 3 members away from hitting the 10/31 deadline.
Quoting: cybermommy It is also important to make sure your frontline are enabled and ready to show their members how to build.
That is so true Cybermommy!! In conjunction with establishing my own frontline, I have been working closely with my them, encouraging them to utilize what has worked for me to build up their lines.
Quoting: Hshaw Heard and read all the info given to me. Great info. Does anyone have any other ways to promote mpm that may not have been told by Ginny?
When you say "all" the info, did you download and read the entire set of training letters? There are invaluable tips in there, as well as straightforward encouragement. I would also recommend reading through all of the marketing materials as well. I signed up my first completely anonymous member today using one of MPM's boiler-plate classified ad texts. I've been writing my own text for more recently placed ads, as I get more comfortable with doing so, but don't ignore the power of the FREE tools that are right there for you. I placed this ad 10 days ago & completely forgot about it - I'm awake now!!

An update on my last post - I have since signed up two more members from my "cold" market that are serious marketers! And just in the past 6 hours!! They're both overseas - hint hint - don't narrow your marketing efforts for this international venture to the Good Ole U S of A...

Great point Kalien!I am in Italy and originally from the Uk and I can tell you there are literally millions over here that will jump on this.Think global!
I saw the immense potential and joined right away!
I am globally advertising and covering all bases so to speak 
And that is great Kalien ,getting very good marketers on your team can work wonders-watch them build and build now!
As well as the great training letters ,can I also suggest our own MPM forum?
I see that more people are using it but not as many as there could be.
I have found out a lot by going in there and reading and sharing info.
Btw-hit my October contest target last night!Yay!!
Now 48 hours or so to try and introduce more members!!!

Kalien,
You are doing an excellent job building your downline. Keep up the good work! Are you aware of the fact that you get a free vacation if you get 10 in your front line this month? I'm cheering for you!

I keep reading all these posts about building downlines etc
'I must do better' I think!
Cybermommy... you have given me hope re Europe at least.. I have to admit i have always thought MPM was a US based project and anyone outside the US would not be interested?

Can I ask if those of you who are having lots of success building your frontlines... do you subscribe to the MPM imedia marketing package? Or are you just posting ads and using sig lines?
cheers

Nah, no need to spend money on it. Try as many free methods as you can come up with.

Newbie Shield,
Yes, I am aware of the contest & I have 29 hours to get one more in my frontline, and I will do it!!! Thank you sincerely for your encouragement!
Quoting: southbank63 Can I ask if those of you who are having lots of success building your frontlines... do you subscribe to the MPM imedia marketing package? Or are you just posting ads and using sig lines?
I haven't felt any need, (yet), to use MPM's iMedia. There are so many FREE tools there. Just poke around everyday, find something you like, (banner ad, email campaign) and use it! Expend your time and energy before your money!

I just joined MPM recently and I've decided to replace my cell phone through my own mall. I'll get a great phone compared to the one I now use and it's happening at just the right time, since my service at T-Mobile just expired. The best thing about all this is so far is everything has been absolutely free and I haven't had to leave my computer.

Okay, as of today, I have been an MPM member for one full month.
I only promoted for 17 days. My frontline is 16 wide and I have 47 in my downline. We (my downline and I) have almost $500 in sales. That isn't a ton but it's pretty good for the first month of membership. It will only grow.
We have been making purchases from GNC, Circuit City, 1&1 web hosting, PETSMART, drugstore.com, A1books.com, Gaiam.com, and Babywise.com.
My downline goes 6 tiers deep so far. It will eventually go 9 tiers. Someone in my 4th tier - the biggest percentage payout tier - bought something a few days ago. This is just getting better and better. I don't even promote the mall anymore, lol.
I just wanted to let folks know that it is quick, easy, and free to partake of this business. Plus, once you build a good frontline - a dozen or more, it is likely that a few of your frontline members will build a good downline.
I'll say it again. Be good to your frontline and teach them to do the same.
Talk to kalien about signing up. She takes good care of her front line.

Wow you must have promoted like crazy...maybe I should change that to promoted smart. Did you start to get members right away?
Not sure if I'm promoting smart, but here's what I'm doing to get members.
1. Blog plus link postings other blogs I've published
2. Article
3. This forum
4. A shopping forum
5. Classified Ads of which I have had over 200 visitors so far
6. Manual submission to Google, Yahoo, and Droz
7. Email to a friend with lots of connections
After nearly two weeks, I only have one member.
You would think people with give it a try not only because it's free but because it makes good CENTS in the long run.

Duck,
Those are excellent ways to promote it. You are doing way more than I did. I just chatted in four forums for 17 days. I didn't do anything else. People clicked my sig. That's all.
You have seen how much I post. I post here more than on any other forum.
I would keep looking for a few good shopping forums where there are a lot of members but MPM hasn't been discussed much.
When you do that, be an authority. You can look at some of my past posts about MPM. Apparently they are convincing without being too pushy. Strike the balance.
When writing copy, you have to put yourself in place of those you are addressing. Ask yourself what convinced you to join MPM. Chances are they will have the same view.
It's free, there are over 1,000 companies to purchase from. Many of the companies are big name companies. The downline structure is big and so are the commissions.
Just list off some good aspects and word them carefully. You have to sell the idea of joining. If people feel it is a good thing to get into, they trust your opinion, and you can state how they will benefit from joining, you will get recruits.
By the way, yes, I got one or more members every day during the 17 day promotion. Now my downline is building itself.
Hey, how are your other income streams coming along? What are you making?
Good luck.
Newbie Shield

Is it not frustrating selling something that is free?
3 life times ago and right out of college I could not find a "real" job so I sold Bible books door to door for a while.
At the end of the season - one of the guys decided to try the following: He knocked on doors and his sales pitch was this: He held up a 5 dollar bill and said he was selling it for 1 dollar.
It took hom most of the day to sell the $5 bill. No gimmick - he just wanted to see how jaded people really are.
So, do not be upset when people do not join MPM even though it is free - and there is 100% no risk of any kind.
People are just being people etc.
Bob

Well I suppose they're coming along, still no profits. But I've changed my way of promoting...for example I'm promoting a music download service on an MP3 related forum and entertainment classified ads.
So far today I've had 30 page impressions and zero clicks on my Google Adsense account.

Quoting: asebf Is it not frustrating selling something that is free?
That's just the problem - w/MPM you're not selling anything - you're giving a gift. Sound cheesy? Maybe so, but since it really is free, you need to utilize your powers of confidence and enthusiastic encouragement and let any hint of hype take a nap.
To close a sale, you need a commitment from the buyer, vis-a-vis a cc #, check, money order, or signed contract, but to "close" a gift, you need only a "Thank You" and sometimes that comes way after the fact.
"People being people" as it is, you are different, so why don't you apply that difference & capitalize instead of wallow? There are plenty of ways to get your first 10 in your frontline & if You are willing to focus on this as a business, you can then assist each weak member of your frontline to get their ten. It only helps you in the long run. Think about it ... it costs $5.99 to grab a domain name (buying it from your own mall) and then giving it to someone in your downline that hasn't done anything but buy some toothpaste from their own mall. Then utilize the same marketing techniques you used for yourself to direct new signups to your frontline member(s)' Biz site.
It is a free opportunity as far as money goes, but you still have to spend some time & energy to make it work according to your goals.
If you're motivated enough, reach out to your downline on a regular basis & offer tips, support & encouragement to help each of them achieve your goals for success.
Read the training letters. It's all in there. I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm as newbie as they get & this has been the most user-friendly system (for lack of a better term) that I have come across in months of research. Don't forget that your attitude will transfer to your downline & your propects. You must be Confident & Encouraging! Don't just "stand behind" ... you must "believe"!
I apologize again for sounding angry, but I'm just trying to fire you up. I can see that this is a secondary, or perhaps even a tertiary venture for you, but coming from a person that has a nine-course meal on her plate everyday, I'm telling you that MPM is one of the best ways to develop a substantial additional stream of income, and can be promoted simultaneoulsy with numerous other ventures.
Feel free to let me know if I overstepped my bounds here
Kalien

I believe Kalien hit the nail on the head with that last post.
I am not selling-I am sharing/introducing my business with others and showing them how they could have a piece of the pie.
We are not selling anything-its a 100%free business with a income plan which is unlike any other I have came across.
I have been with MPM for 6 weeks now and am having great success with it.
I have 38 on my frontline and members now down to my 4th level-and they are working the business right.
That is to say they are shopping in their malls-and for things they already need or were planning to buy.
You can have the largest downline team,but if nobody is shopping in it then you are making zero.
I send my team a newsletter and include deals on our malls,team building strategies,encouragement and the vision of where we are going.
When we meet in Baltimore next year on MPM's 1st anniversary I believe many of us will be so glad we had that vision and saw MPM for what it is.
I haven't advertised as wildly as some have,I have posted in forums,wrote articles and did some free classifieds.
But,I did this daily and made sure I was doing something to promote everyday.
I am happy with my frontline,not all are responsive,but most are and I can already see those members who are building and are going to build very strong teams.
Show your team what works and they will follow your lead.
If you have a strong frontline duplicating the system you use,you are setting up a solid foundation and then it repeats itself.
I am now helping my downline build and watching their teams grow.
I can't wait to see a year from now the fruits of our labors
Success to us all,
Kara

I've been in MPM for only three weeks so far, so that doesn't qualify me as a long time member. But checking in my back office and reports from my downline on their purchases that haven't been posted yet indicate that I may be getting a check before the end of the year!
Remember that this is not a get-rich-quick system - but I wasn't realistically expecting to see any $$ for several months. Needless to say I am pleasantly surprised & am converting that energy into even more motivation to help my frontline. I would like to see all members of my downline be able to get their first checks in January. And then they can set the same goals for their frontlines ... and so on and so on....

Kalien,
Congratulations on your success! I normally don't pay much attention to "Free" systems or low ticket stuff but it's great to hear you're making some good things happen!
Continued success

I would be interested to know who here with MPM is using the imedia marketing package ?
I think more aren't than are.
I am doing fine without it and don't feel the need for it given that this is going well already.
I did have a couple of team members who tried it but didn't carry on with it as they did get more hits but no increased signups.

I had a close look at it but decided not to go with it. I asked on this forum a few days ago i think?.. if anyone who is doing very well with MPM is using imedia but most appear to be promoting without the need for imedia.. I'm not eager to pay out I have to admit.. still doing the freead thing

I also looked more closely at imedia after these most recent posts. I'm still having success with all of the free tools, but I would certainly like to hear feedback here from anyone that has actually utilized imedia. Quoting: cybermommy I did have a couple of team members who tried it but didn't carry on with it as they did get more hits but no increased signups.
That's what I'm anticipating the feedback will be, but I think we would all like to hear about any first-hand experience.

Well though I haven't used it personally,one of my team members tried it and cancelled ,simply because it didn't increase or make any significant difference to her team numbers.
I do think you have to give these systems roughly 3 months to kick into action but she figured as she is having good signups from all her free advert resources she didn't see the point in continuing with the package(and none were coming from there).
I have read on our team forum mixed reviews about it.
Landing pages are tricky~My first impulse when I am directed to one is either close the window or use my free email address ,then I can always opt out when the emails start!
But I also hear some people put in false email addresses just to see what it is ,but aren't interested in getting the followups.
They can work but I wouldn't use it at this stage,more so when I have significant profits which I can then put into some targeted advertising.
