Success at Network Marketing

Success at Network Marketing

If you think you need to have a college degree or be technology gifted to have success at MLM, think again. This is one of the easiest ways to earn a nice residual income on your own time. Some earn a sizeable income, and never have to go to a “real” job again. It can be done; you simply need the right network marketing opportunity, focus, guidance, goals and determination. Just think, a year from now, your life could be very different, or you could be stuck in the same rut, longing to make a change.

Time is Money

When it is time to work, it is important that you are actually working. This is especially true if you are only doing this in your spare time while working another job. Your time is likely limited, so create a schedule and stick to it. You should avoid all distractions like cellphones and televisions during your scheduled work time as well.

Budget Your Finances

If you want to see success at MLM, you will have to learn to budget your money, especially in the beginning. If you have a couple great weeks, don’t blow all of your earnings on unnecessary things. Save some for when you have a lousy week; there will be time to splurge on shopping when you are better established, but even then, you should still put some money aside.

If you are jumping into network marketing fulltime, make sure that you have enough money to live on for a couple months. Otherwise, when funds start getting low and you are stressed about bills, the desperation will start to come through in your voice and presentation, which is very off-putting to potential customers and recruits.

Be a Sponge

You will never know everything about network marketing or the company you are involved with. This is a career where you will continue to learn something new for as long as you are in it. Keep in mind that market changes can demand new product and technologies as well. Read everything you can, go to seminars and listen to eBooks. If you are like most others, you will forget a lot of the basic points you learn in the beginning so one, two, five or ten years later, a little refreshing certainly will not hurt.

Target the Right People

You do not want to recruit just everyone you came in contact with. You want the people with a hunger for success. You want the ones who remind you of yourself when you first heard about MLM. Not sure how to tell the difference? Well, if they are avoiding your pitch or saying maybe in the future or telling you that they will think about it, you probably do not want them on your team. Why waste your time training people that won’t produce results for you.

Use the Right Selection

To ensure you experience success at MLM, you need to get involved with the right company. This will be one with a hot and beneficial product that offers a fair pay scale. It should not be a company that peaked years ago, or you will likely never move up far enough to see any amount of real success.

What Network Marketers Can Learn About Marketing From Tim Ferriss

Tim Ferriss, the #1 best-selling author of “The Four Hour Work Week” designed a product called BrainQUICKEN, which was a nutritional supplement to improve focus, memory and mental performance.

In his book he explains how he started out by marketing his product to student athletes, which at first glance seemed like it would be a good niche to go after. However, it proved to be too broad as no orders were coming in.

He “repackaged” his product and narrowed his audience even more to martial artists and powerlifters – minuscule markets compared to the massive student market – and sales took off eventually reaching as high as $80K a month.

Exact same product. Different target audience.

If you’re in the health and nutrition industry, use this example. The possibilities are endless.

Here are a couple examples:

The beauty of educational style marketing, and why you can benefit from it into your business today, is because it allows you to market your products to people with these health conditions on a mass scale using the Internet while staying 100% compliant with even the strictest company guidelines without getting into any trouble with the FDA.

If this is unclear right now how to do this, I cover exactly how to set up your own marketing pipeline that’s specifically tailored to your products in The Attraction Marketers’ Manifesto.

What About if You Have A Team Of People?
If your company has one main product, you can all market the same product, each taking a different angle. Or, if you have multiple products, you can do the same.

This is what my team and I did years ago with our health awareness seminars. As we started to grow, each of us began specializing in different areas. I started with digestive health and eventually others branched out into dental health and women’s health.

For example,

I know of one person who makes a very good living online by marketing specifically to people with speeding tickets.

Targeting a specific niche like this is not mandatory to get started in attraction marketing, but if you can begin identifying a certain group of people or a specialty that you want to go after, you will be light years ahead of where most network marketers are today.

People who are doing this now, and have stuck with it for awhile, are dominating!

A Sad Christmas, A New Marketing Strategy, and a Box Made of Gold (My Business Breakthrough Story)

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I checked my email.  I scanned the boring list  quickly and it just wasn’t there.

My head dropped to my computer desk.

Tears squeezed out of my eyes.

And I thought, “This is very hard. I’m so disappointed. What am I doing wrong?”

I flashed backed to that devastating Christmas morning when I was 9 years old. It seemed to be happening to me again.

The anticipation and excitement is only surpassed by the sudden “best” behavior possible.

We didn’t have much money, but my parents tried to make  Christmas  memorable.

There was only one thing I wanted that year and it was a plastic box for my viewmaster and reels – to organize them. (I have a bent for liking to be organized.)

I had seen one at a drug store that was beige with a brown lid. It had 3 separate compartments in it with one just the right size for the viewmaster itself. I think the cost was around $6 or $8 – definitely within reason for my one-allowed request for a Christmas gift.

Christmas morning dawned and all four of us kids lined up at the living room door waiting for permission to enter.

With my bare feet on the floor, I stood on my tippy toes to try to be able to see in once the door opened. It didn’t take long for the magical moment to come.

I ran to my designated chair scanning it quickly for the beloved beige viewmaster box.

I saw a stuffed animal, a bulging stocking, and a strange flat box.

I opened the box and it was a transistor radio which I hadn’t asked for. Not that I wasn’t grateful – don’t get me wrong. But the viewmaster box was nowhere to be found.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

It was all I had asked for.

I felt devastated.

Such a small thing, really, but a huge impact on this little girl with dreams of an organized collection.

I put on a brave face and gave hugs and big thank you to my parents, while struggling to make sense of the disappointment.

Christmas was sad for me that year.

The same disappointment engulfed me.  It overwhelmed me like a huge wave in the ocean – the kind that knocks you down and leaves you struggling to figure out which way is what way.

I need a large breath of air.

Here is what had happened – maybe you can identify.

I had started blogging about two years earlier.

I love writing and was determined to marry my love for writing with Internet skills so I could market my business online. I read countless articles of others who had been successful, and I knew I could be successful too.

I invested in training programs, and attended webinars like there was no tomorrow.

I spent hours on end optimizing my blog and writing interesting posts.

I created my awesome free giveaway, and proceeded to the big launch.

I syndicated my blog like crazy.

I commented on other blogs, joined “tribes” and put my links on Facebook.

Tomorrow would surely be the day. I’ll get some blog comments and maybe even an opt-in to my free offer, is what I told myself day after day.

Yes, I was like that little 9 year old girl on Christmas Eve many years ago. But the dreaded realization came that next morning when I checked my email…it was just like what happened that Christmas…

…What I was expecting wasn’t there.

No opt-in announcement. No blog comment waiting to be approved.

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

What was I doing wrong?

I needed help, but didn’t know where to turn. The weight of the disappointment crushed me once again.

It was a Facebook Ad.

I was intrigued to discover Ann Sieg’s secret for generating leads online.

But admittedly, I was skeptical, and thought,  “Here we go again. Another secret that doesn’t work.”

Yet Ann’s video spoke to my pain.

Free is a good price so her Attraction Marketers Manifesto download was a no brainer. I was so impressed I even went ahead to invest in the Renegade Network Marketer too.

Ann had felt my pain and I wanted her guidance.

I feared another disappointment, but not so much so that it held me back from at least giving it a try.

This time it WAS different.

I studied those two ebooks and could identify with all that Ann wrote.

I joined her Daily Marketing Coach Plus program and was pleasantly surprised, and impressed to experience an “orientation” session with live trainers (not a recording like so many others do).

This was followed by sequential steps being laid out for me in my back office for me to accomplish on my blog as the whole 80/20 team (Certified Renegade Trainers as they’re called) helped to coach me.

I was making progress and had some incredible “aha” moments from the individualized attention and training I was given.

Later, the opportunity to sign up for a weekend workshop presented itself.

I was like the thirsty cocker spaniel chasing after a cute poodle in the park.  I lapped up all the wisdom the trainers dished out.

Would I really get opt-ins, comments, and leads who called me?

And would any of it translate into earned income for my business?

One of the Renegade team trainers, Eric Walker, challenged us at the workshop to implement a simple strategy known as the “3 X 3 X 1 Facebook Video For Lead Generation.”

I listened intently as he explained it to us. Eric is a great teacher.

It actually sounded a little bit strange – kind of radical – and almost ridiculously simple.

But hey, I’m willing to try anything that my expert trainers tell me to do – so I threw my hat into the ring.

I won’t go into all of the details about this strategy here and now. This post is long enough.

But if you want to know how this works, then I recommend that you join Ann’s Daily Marketing Coach program. It’s easy to join and at least 10 times worth the cost you actually have to pay.

After implementing this simple, yet proven marketing strategy, I began receiving comments, and even had people inquiring “Where is the next video?”

Pretty fun interactions. Those are the kinds we all like having.

I implemented everything I was instructed to do.

Morning dawned and I opened my email as I always do before breakfast and exercising.

Well, what do you know!

I had 3 opt-in notifications.

Now that was fun!

Over the next few hours … 3 more opt-ins.

And the gift keeps on giving. I receive opt-ins to at least one of my offers at my blog almost every day.

I have comments on my posts daily.

I’ve even had leads call me. . . just like Ann said would happen!

I have sold 3 Renegade ebooks already through my follow up emails and have had one person interested in joining me in business.

Guess what that means?

M.O.N.E.Y.

Yep – So far I have earned $454 through the affiliate book sale (since I joined the Renegade system) in addition to sales of the product I sell for my primary network marketing business.

This reminds me of . . .  well, it’s kind of like . . . a viewmaster organizing box made of pure gold!

I plan to use this golden marketing strategy over and over again.

Just watch me.

And try it for yourself.

After the Christmas hub-bub died down that devastating year, my mom sensed my disappointment.

(Moms are good like that).

She allowed me to take the money I had saved up to that drug store and buy that viewmaster organizing box myself. The dollars were crumpled up in my little purse and the coins rattled together as we walked into that store.

I marched right over to the shelf I had seen it and sure enough, it was still there.

I gingerly took it off the shelf -excited to realize my dream of having my viewmaster and little library of reels all organized.

I took action to get it.

And isn’t that just like our online businesses?

If we want something badly enough, we have to take action to get it for ourselves. Over and over and over again.

If you are wanting to get results from your online marketing efforts, then do what I did…  Join Ann’s Daily Marketing Coach program (EDITOR’S NOTE: More details about the Daily Marketing Coach will be coming soon).

We can no longer wait for a gift to be handed to us on Christmas morning. Sometimes (most of the time) we just have to get that box of gold ourselves.

How to be Successful at Network Marketing Online

You are here: Home // Network Marketing // How to be Successful at Network Marketing Online

Many people assume network marketing is something that has to be done in person. Well, although there certainly are plenty of MLM opportunities that require you to get out there, network, build your personal army and make sales, there are also online opportunities available as well. Of course, this is ideal for someone who is not comfortable interacting with strangers in person on a daily basis. It is also perfect for someone wanting to get into network marketing on a part time basis while still working their regular job. So, how do you succeed?

Take Advantage of Leads

Sometimes, leads come from unusual places, and you might not recognize them for what they are. You have to be aware that leads will come in daily when your marketing systems are in place. To set this up, you will need at least a dozen or more high ranking lead-capture sites. These sites do nothing but collect leads for you, but you need to act on them.

Make Use of Social Networking Platforms

You really cannot understand how powerful social networking is until you have taken full advantage of it and experienced firsthand the opportunities they can award you. Make use of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and have the potential to reach millions of people.

Set Goals

When you physically set goals for yourself, you make yourself more accountable. Write down how many leads that you want to take on every day, and make every effort to stick to it. Don’t be afraid to set awards for yourself if you stick to the goals too! You want to set your goals high, yet obtainable. Some people are only comfortable with 20 leads a day, if they also work full time or have family obligations. Then, there are also those that take a stab at this full time and set their goal around the 200 mark.

There are a lot of options, strategies and opportunities available to you, when it comes to network marketing online and your home business. Quite often, the most challenging aspect of the entire process is making decisions and hoping you make the right ones. The great thing about working online is that even when you go to sleep, go for a run or are on vacation on a beach half way around the world, your sites are still working for you and making you money. That is something to get pretty excited about!
