How To Work With Direct Matches

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 by clicking here: http://www.directmatches.com . You can sign up for free, $9.95/month, $19.95/month or $29.95/month. I recommend 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.

Here is what I email them:

Subject Line: Want to build your (insert the name of their MLM) dowline 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?http://yourusername.payitforward4profits.com

Using this system I've been able to sign up 500 new members in the past 6 weeks.And the best part. . . It's free to join.Check it out.http://yourusername.payitforward4profits.com

Let me know if you have any questions once you've had a chance to look at it.

Regards,

**ONLY LOSERS PAY FOR LEADS** Discover how average people with no marketing backgrounds are getting prospects to pay them....NEVER PAY FOR TRAFFIC AGAIN!!! http://yourusername.payitforward4profits.com

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.
