Why Most People Suck at Online Network Marketing

Copyright (c) 2007 Escape The Matrix LLC

When I was introduced to online network marketing, I jumped in with both feet and a lot of enthusiasm… then I crashed and burned like the Hindenburg. I want to show you how to avoid making some of the rookie mistakes I made.

Here are eight things you can do to ensure success:

1. Have a strong Why. This is definitely number one. If you don’t have a very clear vision of what you want, and a “never say die” attitude, you probably won’t succeed anywhere, in anything. Spend some time getting very clear on what you want, why you want it, and commit to pay the price to get it.

2. Join the right company. This one was painful for me because I had many good friends in my former company, and I was very loyal. But as I tried to build my organization online, I came to understand that they didn’t get it with the internet, they weren’t going to get it any time soon, and the wave of opportunity was going to pass me by if I didn’t find a cutting edge company. Very tough decision, but when I finally found the right company it was like taking the brakes off, my organization grew bigger in 5 months than my old team grew in 3 years!

3. Eliminate distractions. Let’s face it, when you get online there’s suddenly a thousand things fighting for your attention. Video games, useless e-mails, marketing offers, video sites… the list goes on and on. You have to be able to focus on your daily priorities until they are all done before you get distracted by any of these time sucking income reducers.

4. Establish a plan and strategy. If you don’t know exactly how to accomplish your goals, you are likely to be sucked into “program of the week” mode. You must have a business plan, and know what activities will get you the signups you need in your business. Don’t fall for every sales pitch you see. Figure out what works and commit to it, only trying new strategies after your core methods are implemented.

5. Be a good student. Too many people rely on others for their success. Nobody else cares about your success like YOU do. YOU must become the expert. You can’t outsource your marketing education to somebody else.

6. Develop the habit of personal development. I have heard many of the top online marketers and network marketers train, and every single one of them has a personal development program. They read the good books, listen to life improving audios, and attend self improvement and marketing seminars.

7. Be willing to WORK for your dreams! There is no substitute for HARD WORK! Be willing to put in the hours to build a great business. Second to work is the issue of consistency. Online network marketing is something that has to be done DAILY. Too many people dabble at it, spending a few hours here and there. That doesn’t work. It’s much better to spend a little bit of time every single day than a lot of time on Saturday. Even if you only do ONE thing to build your business per day. Try it for a month and prepare to be amazed at how much progress you’ve made!

8. Have realistic expectations. Because there are so many hypy, unbelievable testimonials out there people think they are going to get to a ,000 a month income their first month. Unfortunately, a lot of people HAVE done this online, and it can be done. But we usually don’t hear the “story behind the story”. Success almost always comes after a period of consistent, effective work. As great as the internet is, and as much leverage as it provides, it just makes the process easier and shorter, but you still have to go through the process. What if it takes you five years to make over 0,000 a year? Consider this: most people in the US work 40 years, 40 hours a week and only 5% reach the 0,000 a year mark, but we are willing to quit our online business in the first year if we don’t achieve it?! We just need to be willing to commit to the process for as long as it takes, and give our efforts a chance to compound.

Online network marketing is AWESOME. It pays residual checks, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s easy to do. These eight things just aren’t that hard to do. Do a “check up from the neck up” to see which of these areas you need to work on to ensure you have success in your online network marketing business!

MLM Sponsoring Tips- How to Attract and Sponsor People Into Your MLM Business

How great would it be to be able to attract people into your MLM business, that wanted to succeed just as bad as you do. Well, according to the quote, “opposites attract”, something on one end of the magnetic pole attracts the opposite end.

Well this doesn’t apply to attracting the right people into your business. If you sponsored people who were opposite of you, you’ll be adding a bunch of lazy people who doesn’t want to grow a MLM business. So, what I’m going to do is show you how to attract and sponsor more people into your MLM business.

MLM Sponsoring Tips #1

Sponsoring more people into your MLM business shouldn’t be a pain, right? You shouldn’t have to twist someone’s arm, or call them over and over. Doing that will ruin relationships and make you look desperate. Which is why the first MLM sponsoring tip is leadership.

When demonstrating leadership the right way, people will follow you where ever you’ll take them. Which is why when you twist someone’s arm or pester them into joining your MLM business, you’re losing the battle of demonstrating leadership.

It’s extremely important that you’re confident and willing to lead. This creates a magnetic attraction. You’ll attract and sponsor more people as a leader, not as a begger.

MLM Sponsoring Tips #2

A commonly misguided myth for growing a business is to bring people into your MLM business based on the opportunity. It’s much better if you find people who really love your products or service. When you’re able to sponsor people based on your products, you’ll find yourself attracting dozens of people.

And what happens then is you’re able to retain your downline. Many times, we add a bunch of people into out downline. Later, we see that they’re not consuming the products and they say that they’re really not wanting to grow the business.

That’s what happens when you add people based solely on the opportunity. After a month of them not making any money, they’re gone. So, be sure you find people who really wants the product. When you do, you’ll have people attracted to you and your team.

MLM Sponsoring Tips #3

Another great sponsoring tip is to sort, not sell. What I mean is instead of trying to sell everyone your products, or trying to sell them on the opportunity, just sort through and find people who wants to buy your products and join you in your MLM business.

If they don’t want to consume the products or if they’re asking how much you’re making, just let them go. Don’t try selling them.

When you’re able to sort, you’ll notice that people you’re adding to your MLM business are just like you. You’ll be different in some ways, but overall, you’re all striding for basically the same goals. This will allow you to attract and sponsor dozens of people into your business who are just like you.

Use these MLM sponsoring tips to attract and grow your business. And by doing so, you’ll not only grow your business, but attract help you attract the right people.

How To Get People To Become A Distributor For Your Network Marketing Business

Trying to get people to become a distributor for your Network Marketing business can be difficult. Especially when you’re not sure what to do. So, what I’m going to do is share with you some tips on how to get people to become a distributor for your Network Marketing business.

That way, you’ll be able to add dozens of distributors to your downline.

The tips on getting someone to become a distributor are:

1. The first thing you will need to do to add people to your Network Marketing business is to find the right people. I know that you probably have great products or services. But everyone won’t buy from you. That’s why it’s so important that you find the right people.

The right person will be someone that’s already interested in something that you are offer. An example would be if someone travelled often, that person may be interested in saving money on their trips and vacations. If you are in the travel industry, this would be someone who would join you.

Also, if someone is looking to get back into shape or fit into their clothes, they will be interested in losing weight. This would be someone who would join your downline if you marketed weight loss products.

2. Another tip on how to get people to become a distributor is to have an irresistible offer. What I mean is, you should be able to offer that person something that will really grab their attention. An example would be if someone wanted to lose weight, you could tell them that you can help them lose up to 15 pounds in 3 weeks.

Your offer should make the right person want what you are selling.

3. The third tip on getting people to join you in your Network Marketing business is to know what to say to recruit them. Telling people that they can make millions of dollars won’t make them want to join you. They will think that it’s all hype.

So, you need to know how to walk the person through the buying process. This will make recruiting distributors into your downline really easy.

These are some tips on how to get people to become a distributor for your network marketing business. If you are serious about adding people to your downline, be sure to use the tips above. It will help you grow your business the easy way.

Network Marketing Success–why Busy People are the Best Kind to Sponsor

Prospecting and sponsoring quality team members is key to network marketing success.  And when prospecting in Network Marketing, you’re sure to run across all types of people–people looking to make a little extra money each month, people who want a complete lifestyle change, people who want to get rich quick, and people who are willing to work hard in order to make it big.  You’ll find that some types of people make great Network Marketers, while others are probably better off sticking with their J.O.B.  I’ve found that the busiest people are often the best ones to sponsor.  Here’s why.

Busy people are generally successful people.  They have a lot going on in their lives, and they know how to organize and prioritize in order to achieve the most.  You don’t have to teach your busy new recruit that sitting in front of the television isn’t going to help them reach their goals and dreams.  They already know that, and it’s not a major lifestyle change for them to have more on their agenda than eat, sleep, go to work and watch TV.

Another reason busy people are often the best Network Marketers is that when they join a Network Marketing company, it’s because they see the value and possibilities that Network Marketing provides.  It’s not because they’re looking for something else to do in their spare time!  They’re already busy, and may not really have time for a business…but they see what network marketing has to offer, and they’re willing to make time.  When someone sees the brilliance of Network Marketing, they’re a lot more likely to take things and run with them.

Finally, busy people make great Network Marketers because they know how to take action.  You know they take action in life because their schedules prove it!  They tend to be self-starters who look at what needs to be done and then get to work doing it.  Perhaps the biggest factor in achieving success in Network Marketing is taking action, and people who are busy don’t need poking and prodding in order to start taking action.  They know that taking action is key to achieving success in anything, so they’re ready to get moving as soon as they sign up.

I work for a legit company that has an aspect of MLM, I recruit others to help them and my self build a business. Why are people so offended when offered an opportunity to win in business and working to retire nearly broke as millions of americans are is co acceptable.

Why are people so put off by an atmosphere of excitment of people that have a shot at financial freedom and so willing to go to work monday morning and when asked how they are doing they reply “Just hangin in there” or ” Yup another monday”. Are we such a nation of zombie employees that we think anything out side of 4 walls and a time clock is a scam?
Also somthing intresting, the majority of wealthy people are not employees at a job they own a business or a business system that lets their efforts compound and duplicate.

I have been with two network marketing businesses the last year. The checks come regularly but they are small. I need to put more energy into it. One is selling eco friendly cleaning supplies and vitamins. The other is selling pre-paid legal. Any suggestions.

Whenever I ask a question in regards to why people in MLM think its a viable business opportunity, they inevitably come back with information showing me why its legal.

OK, I got it…I am not going to go to jail by getting into MLM. Now show me why its viable by actually PROVING people are making all this money, by actually PROVING that MLM companies sell massive amounts of product to people who are not reps themselves, and PROVING that its possible to have a network that can continue to grow past 20 levels deep.

Can anyone in MLM actually do this?

I love Melaleuca products and would like to join the company as a rep to make money and also because I feel passionate about there products, however I am not keen on network marketing the old fashioned way by prospecting people that aren’t looking for an opportunity. Is there any way the build a sucessful online business by using a website that creates free leads and is fully optimized ( this I don’t know how to do currently, but also really want to learn!) If so how and where would I go from there? I am new to Internet Marketing, but I really want to learn it and market a product that I love. I haven’t signed up with Melaleuca yet as I am looking for a rep who currently markets the product this way and is sucessful at it. I would like a mentor that can guide me through this and help me realize my dream of financial freedom. There are so many scammers out there, I just want to learn for myself a duplicatible system that I can use and pass down to the people that I may introduce.
Can only legit people respond, I am not interested in any remarks, I am looking for a genuine answer!
