Network Marketing Ideas For Less Headaches

Network Marketing doesn’t have to be a headache. Here’s what I mean, most old school Network Marketing companies rely on offline techniques such as make a list of family, friends, everyone you ever knew, the postman, store clerk, barber, etc.  List 200 people. Second, place notes on windshields, in shopping malls, apartment buildings and business. Wear buttons, shirts and hats with the name or slogan. Your upline and company will tell you to “Pitch” anyone who is breathing. Invite them to “meetings”. Don’t explain, just invite them. Randomly picking out people in shopping malls, parking lots, birthday parties. Well, I did that for a while and to be honest, it was a headache, embarrassing, unprofessional and DUMB. For months I struggled to see results but all I attracted into my business was “tire kickers”, “just looking” and “hand holders”.

True Story

My upline told me to invite people to a “meeting”.  When my prospect asked “what is it about”?, tell them to bring a Bucket!.  Of course the bucket was to take them off guard.  Not only was my prospect upset for being deceived, but most of the time they just walked out.

 Here Is What Saved My Business-3 Key Elements

I came across a couple who were full time network marketers and have been for many years.  While setting with them, they analyzed my business and what I was doing wrong. They went on to help me redesign my network marketing business. That’s when I learned the “10 Network Marketing Secrets”.

They helped me with 3 Key Elements:  (1) Never Quit (2) Lack Of Focus!  (3) You’re Doing It Wrong!

For some marketers when the road becomes rocky, they quit.  Quit to move on to the next big adventure only to quit.  They never really understand how to run a successful network marketing business. They quit because of the next big opportunity, “get in on the ground floor”, “we are expanding worldwide”, “our drink contains the extract of a rare Peruvian root only found in Peru”.  None of which addresses the main problem—how do I get leads?

The second key element was:  Lack Of Focus.  Too many network marketers lack focus. Professionals do one thing well, they master one strategy.  Then learn another. Always building on the last strategy. Professionals are Focused.  They have a clear strategy to get what they are looking for and nothing will stray them away. Too many times a new network marketer will start one social media program only to move to another.  How Is This Done?  Very simple.  Look at all the available social media programs available:  PINTREST, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TWITTER, LINKEDIN, SQUIDO, etc.  Which One?  What happens is most networkers will start with, let’s say, Facebook only to be swayed to Blogging or to Youtube and then in another media.  Lack of Focus never allows the new marketer to master one media before moving to another. You need to pick one social media and master it until you become the expert.  Your Focus is also your, “WHY”.  Why do you want a home based business?  Why do you want to quit your job?  Focus your “WHY” and answer that question every day.

True Story

A good friend started his business using Facebook.  Several months he was wooed to Blogging. A Few months later he was on Youtube.  Bottom line, he never became good at any of them and his business shows it.

So how do you choose the one that is best?  That is up to you.  What do you feel comfortable with?  If being on camera is uncomfortable don’t go into video.  Let’s say you have a problem with writing.  Don’t blog or do article writing.  Facebook sounds complicated…don’t do it.

Look at each of these social media programs carefully then pick one that is most attractive to you.  Again, let’s say you’re not comfortable with Blogging but it is better than the others.  Start Blogging.  Learn all you can about the media.  It might take several months or even years but soon you will be great at Blogging and become a Master Blogger.  I want you to identify one of your favorite singers. They didn’t become famous over night.  It took years of learning and setbacks before they “made it”.  All the time they were Focused.  The same is true for…maybe Youtube. You may be uncomfortable in front of a camera.  Only time will get you comfortable.  Also remember, you don’t have to be in front of a camera. Produce content and then narrate it on Youtube.

How I Picked My Social Media

Here’s is how I made my decision. I listed all the available social media programs including, Pay Per Click, Solo Ads, MLM traditional marketing (friends, family and people), etc.  I then listed my Strengths/Weakness and Like.  For instance, Youtube:  my strengths, can speak well, good voice inflections. My weakness, not comfortable.  For Like, would like to do, willing to get better, intrigued with video.

This took me over a week but by the end of the week I had narrowed it down to 2 programs.  From there I picked one and started learning all I could.  Google, training, books, coaching and trial and failure.  Soon it became easy then easier and now I’m good at my chosen format.  IT ‘S NOT EASY!!!   Just stay Focused.

Why Did I Do This Time Consuming Exercise?

I was frustrated with lack of results that I was getting from old school Network Marketing. I was moving on from one company and program to another and not Focusing on my Goals.

Best advice:  If you have a network marketing company you like…stay with it Don’t Quit.  Get all the help you can.  Learn ONE social media program…say with it Don’t Quit.  Stay with it until you have mastered the program.  Purchase a training course, buy books and study.  Purchase several if necessary. Call or email the person whose course you’re taking and ask for some additional help if you’re stuck.  But stay with it.. do not jump around from one subject to another.

Your Doing It Wrong

Third element:  Your Doing It Wrong. “Not everyone is cut out to be a network marketer”.  Be careful and diligent in who you want in your business.  Remember this is your business.  Success or Failure is your responsibility. As in any business, there is an interview and hiring process.  You’re no different.  Choose you’re prospects wisely.  Remember for every 10 people sponsored 9 will do little or nothing.  Out of a 100 presentation you may have 20 people. Six of which will do something, two maybe three will build a business, the rest will go away. Work with DOOERS not want-a-be’s.  It is just as easy to sponsor a dooer as it is a tire-kicker.

Be smart..this is a Business..Not a Hobby.  Treat is as a business and you could be the next millionaire in Network Marketing.

By taking the time to listen and learn about the 10 Network Marketing Secrets and the 3 Key Elements to Network Marketing.  My business has changed.

Most of what I learned about network marketing and building a home based business, I got from EMP and Attraction Marketing.  Attraction Marketing taught me how to become the Hunted instead of the Hunter.  What I mean is people now come to me asking me how do I join you in your home business instead of me begging them to join me.  Attraction Marketing is a power strategy to use in your business.

Please come back often until then,

Here’s to your success,
