How Blogging Works For Mary Kay Consultants and Directors

For those of you who do not keep up with online stuff, let me try to explain all the hype about making money online blogging and how you can apply it in your Mary Kay business.

You probably have heard or even seen in the news how many stay at home moms are making millions from their blogs.  Today I will show you how you can dive into the blogging world and create a May Kay success story too.

Please pay attention here because the Mary Kay blogging knowledge bomb I am about to share with you could completely change your business and make you lots of money in the long run.  You will also help countless women make tons of money and that my friend is what enriching women’s lives is all about.

If there is one thing I have learned since starting this blog, it is that a lot of my readers are very interested in learning new marketing techniques for their Mary Kay business.  The idea of online marketing is attractive to a lot of people but most of them have no idea on how to get started and get things on gear.

There is also the concern about “Mary Kay does not allow me to have a website.”  I have addressed that concern on another blog post so I will not get into a lot of details about that here. However, I will once again attempt to debunk that lie.

Mary Kay Inc. does NOT allow to put up websites or blogs about Mary Kay business opportunity or to sell products outside of the company generic or replicated website that they give you www.marykay.com/yournamexyz.  If you are a top director or National Sales Director, then those rules are kind of bent but that is a blog post for another day.

Mary Kay Inc. like any other company are well within their rights to put up these policies and guidelines in place.  They have to protect their name and control their own marketing.  They cannot have over 2 million consultants all blogging and creating Mary Kay websites with their own twist about the products or the business.

So, to take control of the message, they give everyone the same website.  They also give you advertising and social media marketing guidelines including sometimes including ads scripts or samples.

This is not unique to Mary Kay, all direct sales marketing companies do the same.  So, get over it and fall in line with the rules or start your own company where you make the rules.

Now, what Mary Kay Inc. or any other company CANNOT do is stop you from creating your own personal website or blog that is not set up to promote their business opportunity or sell products.

Why in the world would you even want to recreate a Mary Kay website when they already gave you one?  Make no sense yes? Right!  Your own personal brand is “You Incorporated” and NOT Mary Kay Incorporated.

Bear in mind that anything I am showing you to do has everything to do with your creating a personal brand that eventually help grow your Mary Kay business on the back end.  If this makes no sense, then read my blog post about Debunking The Mary Kay Advertising Misconception.

Ok, now that I have once again cut through that misconception, let’s get back on topic.   Blogging is a technique that a lot of direct sales marketers are using to recruit thousands of people into their business.

Blogging for certain topics can put you up in the top search results of Google and other search engines.  You just have to know the tricks to getting Google to connect you with thousands of women wanting to start a home business.

Now, before you start jumping up and down with joy about the thousands of people you are going to recruit, let me point out that there are a few things you must have in place.

See, I know a lot of you already have those free blogs you get from WordPress or Blogger.  I have received so many emails with people telling me they already have blogs but they are still not connecting with the right prospects.

So, if you are thinking of using the free Blogger.com, WordPress.com or Vista to create some free website, don’t waste your time.  It won’t work!!!  I don’t care how good or flashy it looks.  Bottom line is you will make zero money from it.  These blogging platforms are good for fun or hobby blogging.

Here is a little nifty trick that works and you should start immediately but it does cost some money $15 or less a year.  For all of you broke Mary Kay Consultants and Directors out there, this is not for you.  If you cannot afford $15 a year, it is time to exit this blog.

I honestly do not want to hear you bitching about being broke.  I have no interest in working with anyone who call themselves an entrepreneur and cannot afford $15 a year.  Alright, now that the broke folks have exited let’s get back to it.

Go to www.domainforsuccess.com and buy a domain name for $14.99 a year.  At least that is how much the domain name cost at the writing of this blog post.  Do NOT buy a domain name that has Mary Kay in it.  You cannot do that.

Mary Kay is a trade mark of Mary Kay Inc.  For those of you that want to be sure you are on the right site, the above is a screenshot with arrows showing you how to buy a domain name.  You can click on the image or link to go directly to the domain site.

You can register your domain name for one year or two years or more.  I usually recommend two years but if spending an extra $15 is too much, then go for one year and set it to renew yearly.

The key to a good domain is making sure it is short, easy to remember and one that makes sense.  Once you are done with your domain registration and you have selected a good domain for example yourname.com it is time to get down to business.

Now, once you have your domain name registered, you have two options to get your site up and running.  You can join our Pink Cadillac Academy Member Only Online Training and Coaching Program where we teach you how to get it done yourself in less than a week. Our blogging training is already customized to a Mary Kay type of business.

Second option is to buy your own hosting from the same domain site above and hire someone to design a professional blog for you.

If you chose to go with the second option, then you need to go back to www.domainforsuccess.com and buy hosting which is about $80 a year or $9 a month (something like that).

Make sure to select the Deluxe Linux with Cpanel Hosting Plan.  Then go hire a professional to design a good blog for you.  Don’t go for the cheap just because your 15 year old nephew is good at computers does not mean they understand blogging for business.

If you are a techie geek and understand web coding, html, css, php, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) etc.. then you definitely can design your own self hosted site and no need to hire someone else.

However, you will still need the marketing training.  It is one thing to know how to build a website, it is another to know how to market online or blog for a business like Mary Kay the right way.  If your marketing skills sucks, you could end up with a nice looking blog but make zero money.

If you go with The Pink Cadillac Academy Ready Made Blogs, well, you do NOT have to pay the extra $80 for hosting above.

In addition to my top notch Pink Cadillac Academy training access, all our members get their blogs ready made.

This is a good option for beginners or those that don’t have thousands of dollars to hire a web developer to build and maintain a site for them.

If you care enough to watch some of my members testimonials online, you will realize that they have found the formula to help in their Mary Kay business and it’s a type of training that no one else in the MK world is teaching.  By the way, this training is brutally effective.

But sorry I CANNOT put up my entire training on this blog for FREE.  I will reveal it all to you when you join The Pink Cadillac Members Only Training .  What you are reading on this blog is nowhere close to what my members get.

You think they would agree to pay me$47 while I give the rest of you free training?  I don’t think so!  So, if you want to learn how all these blogging success intertwine with a business like Mary Kay and create massive success, you got to pay for it baby!

On the other hand, you can spend the next few years spinning your wheels running a non profit Mary Kay business.  If you do what I recommend here, you will make tons of money from your online marketing skills.  Why? Because I know my stuff really good.  Think I’m blowing my own horn?  Maybe..

If you need help and you promise NOT to whine, complain, or bitch about your business, Mary Kay Inc, your director, your national or recruiter or my blog posts, then email me from the contact me page above and I will help you if you catch me in a good mood.

In all seriousness take the above steps and decide what’s the best way for you to get started. Whatever you decide to do, just get the job done and start living your dreams.  Your Mary Kay business is supposed to generate daily income. It is a profit making business not non profit.
