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.

What's the confusion?
It's free. I thougt there surely must be a catch and as I went trough the sign-up process, I kept looking for the catch. I never did find the catch.
If can sign up under a sponser intead of a recruiter, it will be great.
What's the difference?
A sponser helps you to grow and be successful. A recruiter just signs you up and leaves you all to yourself.
Now, this business is great. I've been looking for something like this for many years.
And, it's honest and ethical.
Just where is the big growth? Online of course!!! And more and more people are shopping online nowadays.
This is absulutley free and there is nothing required to join. There is free training.
Wondering where you make your money? The stores in your mall pay a rebate for every single purchase made in your mall from you and from others. The stores are saving tons on advertising and therefore, can pay the rabate fo the purchases from your mall.
6.5% of Corporate profits go to help children of the world who really need the help.
What's the question?
Oh, I almost forgot. When I was researching this company, I checked it out at the Better Business Bureau. Do you know how many complaints the BBB has registered for this company? 0...yes, that's ZERO.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
Sincerely,
Mike Pressnll

Welcome to the thread Mike
You made an excellent point in your post-find a sponsor ,not a recruiter.
Yes there is a world of dfifference between the two.
You want someone who will help show you the ropes,give advice and is ready to share ideas with you.
I can't understand why 'recruiters' wouldn't want to take this approach.
Yes they are bringing in the huge numbers,but they love you and are so responsive until you sign and its off on the hunt again.
Yes,they are building deep and wide faster ,but ask yourslef,how strong is that huge team?
I am betting not very.
I prefer the sponsor/mentor approach to my businesses,I wouldn't do it any other way.

I agree that sponsor is more preferred than recruiter, but then again because this program offers so much training and tools to you via e-mails. Most everything is for free. It is almost like you don't need sponsor to help you once you are in the system. Except may be some inspiration to increase your drive to success.
I am keeping myself motivated every day to help me going and work on it. Come to read on this forum keeps me motivated too.
Thanks all.

Cybermommy,
Since you are outside USA, let me ask you this.
Do you have enough merchants on MPM to shop from and mail products to you in Italy, so your team can benefit from their own shopping? Or you have to aim for people to spread the word back to US customers and then benefit from shopping generated in USA market?
Thanks.

Yes I have a good selection of store open to me, (there are quite a lrger number of stores that ship worldwide)I must admit I often check what is available to you guys in the US and feel a little jealous.But I also have the option of using a mail forwarding service if I want too for an extra cost,but I haven't had the need to yet.
Also Ginny is working on bringing in the international companies(mostly concentrated in UK and Australia) this will open up a lot more options for international MPM members.
The second part of your question :Most of my team members are in the USA.
I have targeted there with my advertising for obvious reasons!!
That said,I do get some international members who are taking the same approach I do.
It obviously makes more sense to have more US based members under you as this is where the bulk of the spending will be.
It will get larger worldwide but for now is mainly concentrated in the US.
I would say 80% of my team mebers are in the US.
I encourage my international members to use their mall for purchases that do make sense financially(taking into account shipping costs,some aren't so bad) and of course if it is items unavailable to them in their home country that the US provides.

Welcome to the thread Yavenay
Yes you are right ,it's anumbers game.
So build wide,wide ,wide!
You will find you have those 'builders and leaders' emerging as you build and with encouragement from you will in turn begin to build their teams.
It isn't an overnight thing,plug away daily,without fail and you will see it starts to take on a life of its own

Quoting: yavenay Hi Newbie. I have 14 in my frontline and only 2 in my downline. How do you motivate your team? I send them welcome emails, I remind them of the incentives and they just don't seem to have the same enthusiam as I do. Only two of my signups are people I personally know, the rest I guess sign up through the ads I posted. Anyway I think powermall is definitely going is the best online business going. I guess I get more on my frontline. It's definitely a numbers game.
Hi yavenay,
I'm done promoting MPM and my frontline seems to be done asking questions for the most part. I am just on auto-pilot. You have a good-sized frontline, especially for being in for a short time.
I wouldn't want anything from my sponsor so I don't send my frontline anything. All I sent them was a greeting when they first joined and I told them to ask me questions and to be there for their own frontlines. That's all.
It's still building itself. I haven't checked for a few days but I have nearly 60 in my downline. I joined a little over a month ago, so I would say I am doing all right.
Hang in there until you can get 2-3 people that are building their downline.
Newbie Shield
