Did you know that there’s no more job security in the world? Major companies have been going out of business daily. Even with the economy being as bad as it is, network marketing works. Most people struggle in this business because they never learn the strategies behind the top earners and top producers. The main three things you have to have are the right marketing system, the right training, and the right mentors. In my early years of being in this industry, I thought I had all of these things right but I was wrong. I didn’t even know what a marketing system was. Let’s go into these three things a little deeper.
To make the building of a network marketing company easier, you have to have the right marketing system. You need a system that eliminates the rejection process because this is the number one reason why people fail in this industry. One that shifts and sorts the tire kickers out so you only spend your time talking to qualified prospects. One that allows you to get paid on prospects whether or not they join your primary business opportunity. One that helps you sponsor people from your target market which are other network marketers. Last but not least, one that can be fully automated & can do most of the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Second, you need a system that comes with all the right training on cutting edge strategies that are working best today. I’m not talking about traditional methods of building a network marketing company either. Ninety-nine percent of network marketers make less than ten dollars per week and are still trying to build their companies the old way even though network marketing works better using the internet. You as well as your distributors need to be able to plug into training anywhere at anytime on demand. I highly recommend you using a system that will train you and your team on both online and offline strategies because there’s some offline stuff out there that are so easy that they will blow your mind. All of your marketing training has to be consistent with the principles of attraction marketing in order to be effective and will having people chasing you instead of you chasing them. The system is what makes duplication easy for even the distributor that started a few hours ago.
Lastly, you need the right mentors to show you how to get into profit quickly. I followed the wrong mentors and sponsors for years. It was like the blind leading the blind. Don’t let that happen to you. You need a leader, someone who will be there to help you but not do it for you because you need to develop into a leader as well. You need to learn from people who have been massively successful in network marketing online. They must also practice attraction marketing. By the way, this is the only way to build a business quickly and efficiently in my opinion. You need to listen to people that have what you want and understands internet marketing.
To wrap up this up, I want to let you know the bottom line and it is that network marketing works as long as you have the right marketing system, the right training, and the right mentors. Don’t build your business like the ninety-nine percent, build it like the one percent and you will absolutely explode your network marketing business.

Network Marketing Works & it Can Be Built Easier Than Most People Think
December 12th, 2009Network Market Vs Internet Marketer – Attraction Marketing & Magnetic Sponsoring
November 29th, 2009
If you have been in and around the industry awhile you will often hear the terms network marketer and internet marketer. In fact, you probably don’t even distinguish between the two when you hear them. There is also Old School and New School versions of both of these types of marketers as well as a hybrid version. You may be asking so what? Who cares what they call themselves? They all want to sell me their opportunity. Ahh, but how they go about selling their opportunity and how they teach you how to sell your opportunity is a key element. And when you hear certain do’s & don’t from them you’ll understand WHY they say what they say and if you should apply their techniques to what you are trying to do. And you’ll be able to discern who’s talking rubbish and who’s talking from experience and expertise.
Let me start off with the term: Network Marketer. Think back to the original days of Amway or Shaklee. These old school network marketers did what we now call belly to belly presentations, hotel meetings, business cards exchanges and they picked up the phone and called everybody and their brother they knew and their brother’s brothers! They quite literally pounded the phone. They created huge lists of resources and databases of everybody they knew. They built relationships with people & got referrals upon referrals. They literally created a network of people they knew and kept on expanding it to all the people their people knew and so and so and so on…
This worked and it still works today. The reason? Even with technology today ,people still want and need to by from people they know, from a referral or people they have done business with in the past.
But the average person looking to make some extra money on the side just didn’t want or have the desire to make all those calls. They were too shy and embarrassed to contact their friends and family or even if they were all revved up at first when they joined, they got knocked down within the first couple of weeks. Face it, we all know what we felt like when someone we knew told us they were selling Amway or Rainbow Vacuum Cleaners!
Then along came the internet…..and they took their rolodex and imported (hand typed) them into a database and now they could communicate to all of their customers, prospects, distributors with a click of a button! WOW! Mail Merge was huge! MLM business started popping up on the internet and they could just send some emails and their loyal followers went running to their website and because they had a PRIOR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP with these network marketers they bought from them and they went right down the line (hence the term downline line) & were making a killing.
Then we of course went through the pyramid schemes and MLM companies that offered no real products. And gave MLM a rotten name. (We still have them and people still buy into them) No matter what industry you are in you will always have the unscrupulous that will take advantage of the naive.
Then the systems guys created the websites that DO IT ALL FOR YOU! GET PAID TODAY! Direct Sales! Just drive the traffic, no need to make Cold Calls, No Bugging your friends and family & No Sorting – You just drive the traffic and our site will do the rest! 2 Ups and 1 Ups ran ramped. And then they charge you a monthly subscription service to host your website. Guaranteed income for them. The Internet Market was Born! But the Big guys had HUGE advertising budgets. They could AFFORD to drive huge amounts of traffic to their websites. The average newbie doesn’t have those kinds of funds AND are failing by huge numbers. The old networkers were use to that. The idea was and still is just get as many sign ups as you can and the true network marketers will rise to the top! And that is true. They are not lying to you.
Then the Mentoring programs and consultants and the Guru’s came out of the woodwork to try to instill in al that you still have to pick up the phone to build the relationships! But we Americans( 97% of us) don’t want o hear that! We want to be able to buy our way in. Make huge sums of money with no experience. They pick out the 1 success story out of thousands and we believe it will happen to us. The sales letters are really to blame, but one has to some of the responsibility…Huh? The systems guys know that. So they keep rolling out new marketing site that promise the world. And some of these sites really are well put together, but the truth of the matter is most people still need to make a connection with YOU before they buy. They buy on emotion. You have to learn how to trigger that emotion and build the relationship to get the sales. Period.
Now the internet marketer understands that they must build relationships but they don’t want to do it belly-to belly or via hotel presentations. So how do you accomplish that? Article writings, press releases, blogging and oh the ever so popular social network sites that are popping up every day! But the successful ones understand something else. They separate themselves from the masses. If you are doing everything everyone else is doing, do you stand out? Nope. They create their own capture pages and websites. They ARE NOT using the companies affiliate sites. They are not even marketing their business opportunity up front. These guys ARE making money. Good Money. 6K and above. Problem? They are not duplicatable. Again, the average American doesn’t have the desire or knowledge to do what these guys do. The internet marketers are telling you the old school guru’s are off out of date, that you don’t need to make phone calls, bug friends and family, sort thru hundreds and thousands to find the few good ones. And to a degree they are right. On the other hand, the network marketer now has seminars charging you thousands to teach you what you need to know, hence making himself duplicatable. Guess What? In both cases 2%-3% will rise up and become successful. Both as a network marketer student and as a Internet marketer student. It’s the 2% Rule. 2% of the people hold 95% of the wealth.
Great, so what are the other 98% to do? We know there has to be way. And where there is a will there is a way. A blending of the 2 has to come together. And in essence it really is a blending of 3, traditional businesses with brick and mortar offices that use the web to sell their products, old school network marketers and the new Internet Marketers. It’s called Attraction Marketing. You may seen or heard of it already but ignored, it as we Americans have become so desensitized to information. Fact is, so much garbage is thrown at us we tend to overlook the real stuff when it slaps us in the face. I know I did. And I would have quite a few hundred thousand dollars more in my pocket today if I would have taken action when the opportunity was first presented. But the good news is… it’s never to late to start again in this industry, the right way. And one more thing, you have to throw in some good old fashion common sense.
Starting a business, Any Business requires due diligence on your part. And must be taken seriously. What is it you want to accomplish? Is there a real product/service involved that is going to be wanted and need ed by people everywhere? Software is a product; information is a product, (information is the NUMBER 1 selling product out there today), nutritional supplements, education, & travel. Don’t buy in to a business or not buy a business based on some else success or failures. Their success or failure has absolutely NO BEARING on yours. NONE! Remember that. It’s key. Make sure the product or service is something you would actually use yourself. You have to believe in your product. You have to invest in yourself and your business. Becoming a 6K or 7K earner doesn’t happen without training of some sort. But take baby steps and really evaluate what it is you are buying. Learn from the leaders who have been there, done that. Have realist expectations and be creative. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. And if any one tells you need a huge advertising budget… tell them to pound sand and run as fast as you can.
