Are you serious about making your MLM a success? Are you professional about your MLM? Do you want to maintain professionalism throughout your MLM business?
Then you need a personal domain name for your MLM website.
What does that have to do with professionalism?
Any real MLM aimed at providing duplication and success for its distributors will provide them with a company website to capture their leads. The trouble is the domain name, or link, for that website. It’s too long and/or complicated.
www.themlmcompanyname.com/yourusername
or
www.yourusername.themlmcompanyname.com
Some get even more complicated with /ap/tracking.asp?wlid=7984672 at the end of it.
Completely unprofessional, too long for a business card, and impossible to repeat over the phone.
If you place this link in an online ad, few people are going to click on it because it looks sketchy. Those people that do click on it are going to take your personal ID off and look at the main company page. And if they enter their info into that capture page? They get referred to someone in your upline, not you.
Using a personal domain name makes your link look like this:
www.yourname.com
It’s clean and professional and can’t be shortened down to the main company link.
Once you have registered your domain name with a company such as GoDaddy (this is what I use, but there are others) you will need to forward your company website link to your new domain name. This is also known as redirecting.
Redirecting works just like forwarding your mail at the post office when you move. People will see and click on your personal domain name, and then be redirected to your company page. And they will not have to see that long jumbled link. Don’t worry, the registration site will provide step by step instructions on how to do this.

I agree 100% that a personal domain is important! However, I would go one step further and say that a personal web-site, not a company replicated site, is even more important. Replicated sites get ignored by the SEs to begin with, so forget any targeted, organic traffic from google, yahoo, etc. Also, how does one stand out with the same site as every one else in the business?
A personal site with high demand/low supply key-word focused content is the way to go for any online business (and offline business with a site).
I agree with that 100% too! It’s a huge disadvantage to use a replicated site. As soon as a potential prospect clicks on that link, you no longer exist to them!
You’ve reminded me I had written about this before and forgotten to post it. It’s up now.
