Does Network Marketing Really Work?
August 27th, 2010
Yes, but there are obstacles, and there is a very large obstacle that is haunting the network marketing industry right now. Network Marketers are hurting…They are seeking more leads and more money to stay afloat in this highly competitive & always-changing marketplace.
*Does Network Marketing Work? Here are the facts…
*97% of network marketers will not succeed.
*The average network marketer will only sign up 2.2 reps in their entire lifetime, which averages only 93 days.
*90% of network marketers make $10 or less per week.
These are some pretty scary statistics. So how can YOU succeed when statistically ALL odds are against you? I’m glad you asked. I am going to give you the ANSWERS, the answers that have PROVEN to fix ALL PROBLEMS that network marketers face all over the world.
Does Network Marketing Work? It does if your #1 priority is building relationships. I don’t understand why almost all network marketers are trying to sell their business up-front, hoping and praying that magically new distributors will join their business before they even take the time to build relationships? First, you must get someone to know you, like you and trust you before they will go into business with you. This is a relationship business, and if anybody tells you that you can build a huge downline with a click of a button, they are lying to you. Have you ever purchased leads? Have you ever tried cold-calling? What about physically walking up to somebody at a coffee shop and tried selling them on your business opportunity? Note*(there is no preliminary relationship built, and these people have absolutely no idea who you are)
So in the past, if you did any of these things, how did it work for you? Did you have fun? I’m not saying these techniques don’t work. They actually do work for the small .001% who for some odd reason enjoy these strategies, but for majority of us these processes won’t work.
Consider this…Instead of trying to sell your friends, strangers, and family on your business, why not scientifically attract your top prospects to you and build a very nice residual income with leaders who want to join you before you ever meet them?
You can learn exactly how to make Network Marketing work for you. How the Top MLM Producers accomplish this by leveraging the most powerful invention of our time, the internet, where you can literally reach thousands of prospects worldwide every day if you know what you are doing!!!
Honestly, with a fleet of ads working for you online 247 that were created to build relationships with your best prospects, position you as a leader, and actually provide and give your prospects exactly what they are looking for, how could you not succeed?
So instead of trying to sell your business on the front-end, you actually built a relationship first, provided value, and gave your prospect exactly what they desired…Wouldn’t you agree that if you took this approach, the odds of succeeding would be stacked in your favor?

The Ultimate Mompreneur Question Spouse Or No Spouse
August 2nd, 2010
Earlier this week, I wrote an article about the fact that I highly disliked, (I even said, ‘hated’) the word ‘Mompreneur.’ That article sparked a lot of great feedback and with that, I received some questions as to whether or not my husband partnered with me in my business. I quickly answer, ‘NO!’ to that. That said, he is very supportive of me, but we agreed long ago that our careers would be separate.
When I was first married, there was a very long transition for me in giving up my total independence. It was hard for me to have to make decisions on MY life as a ‘team.’ It was hard to realize that I couldn’t just make a decision and go with it. I had to discuss it with my husband. Honestly, eight years and two kids later, that is still a very hard thing for me to accept.
When an independent woman gets married and has kids, there is a sense of independence that is lost forever. My decisions are not my own anymore. They affect three other people and each decision is belabored to really think through the consequences of each decision. That said, my career and my home business is MINE! It’s the one place where I have utter independence. I make the decisions, and although I do realize they ultimately do affect my family, they are strategic decisions that are for the good of my family.
It is very common in our profession to have many people have a spouse that doesn’t exactly support their business. When I hear this complaint, two things come to mind. One, why give a spouse that kind of power? When there is a total BELIEF in what you are doing, then an unsupportive spouse shouldn’t stop you. Idea number two, is that most of the time, spouses aren’t supportive when there is no money coming in from the home business. If that is the case, then start to look beyond what you’re doing to build your business and find tools and systems designed for network marketers to help get your business into profitability quickly! There is nothing that will turn your spouse into a devoted partner faster than cold, hard cash coming in!
It is a personal choice to involve your spouse in your business. I choose not to. Whichever you decide, boundaries must be set in the way of goals and expectations. This is a critical step when starting the business. My independence hasn’t really been easy on my marriage. I work on it everyday, but it does rear it’s ugly head a lot. With that in mind, it is still something that is important to me. I choose to fulfill that personal goal, however, when I get home each day and my home is filled with laughter, music and wholesome fun, something I’ve become dependent on, I know that what I have set out to do independently truly is the best for my family!

Are You Effectively Growing And Marketing Your MLM?
July 28th, 2010
MLM or Network Marketing is extremely popular in todays economic environment. Job security is a thing of the past and small businesses disappear every day. The world is in search of a way to make cash without high start-up expenses, but great income potential. Some business leaders refer to MLM as THE LAST BASTION OF FREE SOCIETY. People from all walks of life can earn massive income in MLM when done effectively! But, it has to be done effectively or it won’t work.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to success in network marketing is successfully attracting new distributors and repeat customers. I have been doing this business for more than 28 years. Luckily for me, a mentor taught me early on to generate leads or people willing to check out my deal. This was better than chasing after friends and family. I had people coming to me and I just returned calls and directed them to a presentation. This sure beat the process of begging people to come to a hotel meeting. Who likes meetings? Before I learned all this, I actually quit doing network marketing and swore to never return. It is frustrating the old way. Don’t you agree?
When I learned how to build a list of people who were open to what I had to offer, everything changed. I decided I would contact the people on my list and fill them in on why I recommended that they consider joining my team. The rest is history.
People started coming to me and my leaders each and every week. This catapulted me to the Million Dollar Earner Club and the Top Ten Income Earners List within 18 months of putting these strategies into practice. I also had the good fortune to take wonderful trips with the other company leaders and learned that most of them also had systems in place to draw prospective reps and buyers to them, instead of chasing down uninterested people and twisting their arms. This business is tough if you are simply buying crappy leads and cold calling unqualified, uninterested prospects. I want to show you how to do it the right way.
Bottom Line: If you are not attracting prospects to you instead of soliciting them, you will probably struggle. Your power and success will totally improve if you can get people coming to you about something that they have decided they want more info on.
The next step is to help 5 or 6 of your team leaders to duplicate this system. When you help them succeed, your income will explode and so will your time freedom. MLM allows you to own your time! You can quit your job or retire your spouse early, travel more, send your kids to good schools, buy new cars, improve your house, buy a vacation house etc…
Now there are many software programs out there that you can use to build a list, establish credibility with that list by introducing them to tools they can use to better build their businesses and possibly introduce them to your primary opportunity. People want to follow leaders who provide value and education to their teams. You will be that leader. Many of these programs help you sell affiliate courses or software programs to help MLM distributors to better automate their businesses.
That is the basic idea. Some call this a marketing funnel. The bigger you build your list the more potential teammates you now have who may join your MLM. Don’t you agree that this method is more powerful then dragging prospects to meetings?
Do your due diligence. Search online for Network Marketing Sales Funnels or Software. Many companies now offer programs like this for between $25 and $125 per month. They give you the ability to point and click and put together nice, professional Lead Capture Pages to present your business and collect contact information from interested prospects who arrive at your pages. They also have indepth video training and weekly calls to help you learn how to better market your business online in today’s environment.
In a future article I will tell you how to get traffic to your web site, but for now I just want you to investigate some of the tools that are available to you in today’s Internet based marketing world. I looked at many of them and some are better than others, so do your homework.
I tried a bunch of them and then paid a software developer to design my own. Feel free to check it out. I share it with my own team and my readers. You are welcome to use it. It is awesome and has a few capabilities the competition does not offer. The training is very detailed and the system is very user friendly. There are also training calls almost every week on how to use it to market your MLM online. You can very effectively brand yourself online with a system like this one. Before you know it, you will be attracting people left and right to your team and showing your leaders how to duplicate your success.
Think big here. Imagine if you attracted 30, 50 or even 100 interested prospects to you each and every day who wanted to learn about joining your successful team. Wouldn’t building your MLM team become a tad easier? Then taking it to the next level, what if you taught 4 or 5 of your team members to duplicate your success. The sky is the limit, so stop struggling in your MLM business and get this party started.

MLM Internet Prospecting Secrets
July 25th, 2010
Before we talk about how you can use mlm Internet prospecting to explode a growing downline we must first understand what struggling network marketers are taught to do when it comes to prospecting in their business. Network marketers are first told to make a list of friends and family members to prospect. This is done by using the phone, home or hotel meetings. Then once they run out of prospects to talk to then their upline will typically suggest they go and buy business opportunity leads from lead companies and pound the phone making cold calls.
Theirs a good chance that you have prospected people like friends and family in the past for your business. Unfortunately most network marketers aren’t aware of the fact that they are talking to the wrong people about their business. What I mean is that family and friends are the wrong prospects for your business because they don’t get what a network marketing business is all about, and aren’t ready mentally to forge forward and produce profits.
Now let’s speak about biz opp leads reps buy from lead companies. These leads by far are the biggest waste of money for network marketers globally. It’s because these kinds of leads are not as targeted as most reps believe they are. These low quality prospects are collected using generic home business advertisements that run across the Internet. Generic meaning that people are requesting information on a home business opportunity, not a mlm opportunity.
These kinds of leads that come from lead vendors are very curious in nature and in most cases are not serious at all about running a home based business. Most will be tire kickers looking around the Internet to see how to make extra money. They may want to start a hair solon or landscaping business etc. Most of these prospects end up having no money to even invest. One thing is for sure. They are not looking or even want to start and mlm business. Understand that lead companies are in business to make money just like you are and in order for that to happen, they have to sell each lead they produce up to eleven times or more to other mlm reps to make a profit and it also creates competition for your business just starting out. Most will struggle prospecting these low quality leads because of the rejection they come up against when making cold calls. The truth is network marketers are wasting their cash just to get rejection. Does that sound like fun to you? By now you may be asking yourself, so what’s the solution?

Reasons Why It Takes Determination And Training To Be Successful In Internet Marketing
July 23rd, 2010
Anyone who is interested in making money online and engaging in Internet marketing needs to understand that to make a success of themselves they will need to really commit themselves to the cause. There is absolutely no doubt that it takes determination and training to be successful in Internet marketing, and without these two fundamental factors at your back, you will never succeed.
There are certainly different methods of making money online that it is almost impossible to enunciate all of them. If you are keen on making a success of your online efforts then it is fundamental that you understand the market and that you understand the legitimate ways of making money, and those that are not so legitimate. Unfortunately, given the nature of the Internet, there are all sorts of different scams and scammers who are trying to cheat you, and as such you need to understand how to avoid these.
When it comes to making a success of yourself, there are several key factors that will come into play. As mentioned, your determination and the level of effort that you are willing to put in is one of the most crucial factors of all. If you do not commit to the cause, you will not succeed, it really is as simple as that.
Training is, as mentioned also, completely and utterly fundamental to your future success online. While it may be possible to reach a limited amount of success by conducting your own efforts and researching the market yourself, it is always going to be better to learn from what others have done. Getting training from a company or a mentor is the best way to get a foot up on your competition and to guarantee, or as close to guarantee, a high level of success with your online efforts.
Considering your time is another extremely important factor that you will always need to consider if you are looking to make money over the Internet. While anyone can have the level of determination and effort, if you fail to apply this frequently then you will never succeed. You need to work out how much time you can commit, and then commit every single hour that you possibly can to your cause.
Last of all, finding a niche market that you have a passion for is an absolutely fundamental point as well. The best way of gaining success and making money is by finding a passion and making that into your job. Thankfully, Internet marketing allows you to work in almost any niche market you can think of, and therefore this should also be one of your key considerations.
If you’re able to commit to all of these fundamental aspects then you should be able to find a level of success in Internet marketing that so many others fail to achieve.

Top Five Network Marketing Tips That Will Help You Avoid The MLM Trap
July 16th, 2010
The Fall of MLM The signs have been around for some time. MLM marketing is about to become a thing of the past. For your business to stay afloat you’ll need to be aware of the newest network marketing tips you can use to secure the future of your business’ income. Read on to learn five tips that can help your home based business stay on top of today’s ever-changing marketing world.
The New Face of Marketing Technology has brought about great changes in the networking business arena. The internet and its powerful tools have provided network marketers with amazing opportunities. Unfortunately, these changes have also begun to make the MLM approach to network marketing obsolete. If you are a MLM business owner you may have already seen some of these ill-effects or have heard of someone else losing their business and income at the whim of a leader who suddenly decided to jump ship. As the times are changing, so should your business strategy.
Five Network Marketing Tips That Can Help You Succeed 1. Customers not Recruits – Traditional network marketers have focused most if not all of their time on recruiting new downline team members. Residual checks accounted for much of the business’ revenue and, once a good team was put in place, you could sit back and collect the cash. That focus has to change. The competition for recruits presented by the online market is virtually impossible to win against. Developing a loyal customer base is the way to a successful marketing business in today’s world.
2. Pocket the Money Now – A strong customer base can start bringing you profits today, not months from now when your downline starts producing. With the fast paced changes seen online today, one is wise to draw in as much cash as they can right now without depending on future events to secure their income.
3. Attract the Do’ers – The wide net cast out in MLM recruiting campaigns leads to many low-performing and unreliable downlines. Dealing with people who are brand new to the marketing business and are not fully committed can be time consuming and lead to burn-out. You want a system that allows you to bring in highly qualified professionals right from the start.
4. Out With the Old – You will be pleased to know that there are already proven and innovative new systems available for those looking to break out of the MLM business. Read everything you can get your hands, including the best network marketing tips, on before choosing a system that’s right for you.
5. Don’t Forget – Remember why you got started in the network marketing business to begin with. Was it your love of working with people? Wanting to help others succeed? Enjoying the freedom of being your own boss? Or all of these things. Do not let the changing face of network marketing make you forget why you love what you do. Let a new approach to your marketing business allow you to enjoy what you do again.
Ask For Help Making the transition out of the MLM business may seem daunting, but there are so many network marketing tips on the web today that it should be easy to find the help you need. Learn from experienced network marketers like yourself who have already made the transition and can guide you on your new path to success.

The ‘Head’ Game That Is Network Marketing
July 8th, 2010
I was sitting down to write an article and wondering what to write about. I decided to write about an experience I had in my life that not only changed my life, but significantly impacted my network marketing career. Looking back on it, I have determined that life is so dependent on where you are in your head and where you will go. Hang with me here and read on.
After I had left my job working for a network marketing company and started my own MLM business, I was excited to get cracking on building my huge, worldwide organization and couldn’t wait to earn $100K/month! ‘Boy, would life be different!’ I’ve mentioned before that it was a tough reality to face. I had taught network marketing principles for my employed company and coached distributors on how to build their organizations. I will say, that teaching (or preaching) from books read is VERY different from actually DOING the activities. It was such an eye-opener.
That said, at the point I started my business, I had already been working on my self-development, so I was in a good place mentally, but just not skilled yet. In my times of challenge, I’d sit down and look for answers. I still continued, however, to attend networking groups and got involved in recreational groups to expand my network. In one of my networking groups, I met another network marketer whom I had a lot in common with. We would have dinner and mastermind together. One day, she invited me to San Diego to a seminar her business coach, Jeffrey Combs, was hosting.
I had no idea who this guy was, but Judith spoke very highly of him as her coach so I was intrigued. I went to San Diego for his training and was BLOWN away be what he was teaching. I ended up hiring him as my coach and part of the coaching included a ‘Breakthroughs to Success’ 2 1/2 day seminar.
I can’t even begin to explain what happened at the Breakthroughs seminar. I will only say that what I took away from it was nothing short of life-changing. I didn’t learn techniques or concepts, I learned what was holding me back internally. I had had the toughest year of my life. I had experienced some very large challenges personally and they turned my world upside down. What I didn’t know at the time, but I have learned now, was that that one bad experience set into motion some of the most positive things that have come to me in my life.
How did I go from really bad experience to being in one of the best places I’ve ever been? When this particular challenge happened, I had to really take a look inside to see what led to it. I had to face some emotions and decisions that I had made to get me into that situation. I realized that I had made the situation, but what I realized, was that if I had the power to create a bad experience, I also had the power to create great experiences. I got my self there, I could get myself out and create only great things. I understood the power of our thoughts, our actions and our results!
So, from this realization, I understood how powerful the mind can be. I learned how to forgive, to move on from this life-lesson, and turn the rest of my life into MY life by controlling my thoughts, which lead to my actions. I had an opportunity for years to uproot my life and move out West, but didn’t do it FOR other people. Two months after this life experience, I was packing up my family and moving, ultimately for everyone, but really for ME. Six months after that, I flat out quit the job that had become such a negative monkey on my back. I made major decisions to CONTROL my life rather than letting the, ‘What if’ scenario get in the way…i.e. ‘What if I move to California and don’t like it?’ ‘What if I leave this stable job and can’t make it work as a Network Marketing Professional?’ ‘What if…..’
I decided to let the ‘What if’s’ go their own way and knew that I controlled my destiny. When I truly believed leaving for California was the right thing, there would be no ‘What if’ scenario! When I truly believed in myself to build a network marketing career, I would FIND the correct path. And I have!
I am still working towards my goals. I’ve reached some and still have ones that I have yet to check off the list. That said, what has been so inspiring is that when I have met a challenge, I believe the solution will appear and it always does. It’s been so amazing to see this all work and its inspiring. My wish is that EVERYONE will realize this power and change their lives for the positive, but I know most one. That is the sad reality!
My life and my attitude are SO changed now. I see this incredible future that so few will ever experience because they will never get it. Their thoughts won’t let them. So, now, my thinking is to only attract people into my business that ‘get it.’ Because these are the ones that will do whatever it takes. They may not be instant producers or instant success stories, but they will stick with it because they have no doubts that they will be top producers. I want to work with only those who don’t dwell on the negatives and the challenges. They see the challenges as learning experiences and know that this journey wouldn’t be right without them! Those are the people I have attracted and will continue to attract because my head will allow nothing else! If you’ve stuck in long enough into this article and are still reading. Are YOU one of these? If so, let’s talk offline! NOT necessarily for me to recruit you into my business, however, that would be nice, but because YOU are someone I like to hold close and mastermind with. You never know where our friendship and our partnership in this true like-mindedness could take us! The sky is the limit!
