How to Build a Network Marketing Business

There are so many people that would like to work from home nowadays.  The corporate rat race just worsens, and with the big amount of people our age searching for work, you could be feeling a bit insecure - frightened you'll be replaced by someone half our age that will work for less than what you're being paid!

All those people looking for jobs are really turning into a danger.

So many companies are disposing of loyal and experienced workers, only to replace them with people that are pleased to accomplish the job for much less than you are being paid! These firms don't merit faithfulness at all, all they care about is their bottom line!

Home network marketing is something you can start today while you continue to have your other job, you can build it up with the purpose of making enough income for you put aside for emergencies, and to at last replace your salary if you do get ousted.

Every week it is estimated over 100,000 people around the planet start in home network marketing. Unfortunately, probably just as many people "fail" to make any real money.

Not because the company isn't good and not because there is not a need for the service or product.

The most common reason for failing to build a lucrative business is the inability to treat it like a real business and give it the time, energy and respect it deserves.

But you are not like that are you? You have been working for someone else so long for so many hours every week, undercompensated and underappreciated, that you can die trying something else. The only people you would need to be loyal to if you did have your own successful network would be your own family, your clients, and your downline team and that is it. You'd be The Boss!

No more purchasing costly and uncomfortable business clothing, no more wasting 10 hours each week stuck in traffic, no more eating unhealthy fast food lunches, and definitely no more working late for nothing. No more getting home so tired that you can not have a decent conversation or relax and have a good time with your spouse and family. Oh, and holidays - remember those? All you have got to do is take your laptop, PC, or tablet with you, and you are going to be able to go on as many holidays as you want - just do a few of hours work a day and relax and live the way life is meant to be lived.

Visualize how your life will be different? Is it worth the price you're going to be forced to pay? Is it worth the sacrifice in both cash and time you'll have to give up now to enjoy the rewards of your new business the remainder of your life? Are you content to be just the smallest bit uncomfortable now to live a life of freedom later?

If you need to set up a home network marketing business there are variety of things that you'll have to do. Don't spend several hours fishing around online for good ideas, you might waste precious time and just wind up confused and exasperated. It's extremely simple to waste lots of money also.

Here is the key to accomplishment in the "work from home network marketing" area. Find somebody who's already successful in attaining the results which you hope to attain yourself, team up with them and find out what they are doing and how they do it. All you have to do is duplicate their strategies. That's it. Building a profitable network marketing business of your own can be just that easy.

Understand no one makes any cash till somebody buys something. So you need to concentrate on sales and marketing. To pull this off you will want to put 80 to 90 of your time towards getting your products, services and business opportunity in front of new people on a consistent and regular basis.

Focus on lead generation and the magic just happens. Here's a great online home network marketing lead generation system I recommend.

Expect Success!

Did you start your business expecting to fail?  I'm sure you didn't.  You went into it expecting success!  Why else would you start a business?   But then we start experiencing the delays and speed bumps common to all business, especially when just starting, and we begin to doubt.  Now expecting success becomes a bit more challenging.  This requires a mindset shift.  How do you get back on track?


1. Work Your Plan – As a business owner, you have a business plan, right?  Of course you do!  You would not get in your car and drive to a new destination without a roadmap or GPS.  Well, your business plan is your path to success.  When things become challenging, review your plan.  Check to see if a small course correction is necessary.  Then design a step by step strategy to get back on track.  And remember, we all experience setbacks from time to time.


2. Fear is a liar! - Do not let fear derail you.  And perfection is a form of fear. When fear gets in the way, you will fail.
 
3. Set a deadline – Many people work best under pressure. I know I do!  Impose a deadline either by assigning a date for completion of a task, making a decision, or reaching a goal.  Completion of a job or achieving a goal will bring you success.


4. Outsource – Running a business is time consuming.  If you are spending your day on tasks such as maintain databases, answering emails, maintaining your website, when are you doing the tasks that actually help you build your business? Outsource the tasks that can better be done by someone else and focus on the tasks that actually make you money!
.
5. Check Your Alignment – What?  My alignment?  Yes!  What I mean is make sure your business is still in line with your values and mission.  If it's not, you may be unconsciously sabotaging your own efforts.  Also talk to your family to ensure they still support your dream.  You may be surprised that the family pet is begging for your attention or someone close to you is leaving your office a mess each time you have an important meeting.  If they are attempting to derail your success, whether consciously or unconsciously, it is important to find out why. 


You deserve to be successful!  You should never settle for less!  Success is not something to fear.  It is not unattainable.  February is International Expect Success Month.  Let's celebrate by making today the day we learn to expect success!

Where Is Your Life Going?

Are you on track to achieve your goals? Are you one step closer to achieving your BIG dreams? I truly hope you are. However, the sad but true fact is that most people are not making progress in their life. They are either exactly were they were last year or even worse they are quickly moving backwards.

If what I described sounds familiar to you... intimately familiar (if you know what I mean) I have GREAT news for you. You can decide today to make 2016 the year you start your own business. It's not too late!

If you want the freedom to live life on your terms, I want to help you do just that.

There is much more to life than just being successful in business. If you are ever going to be TRULY wealthy you must have abundance and wealth in every area of your life. I know plenty of people who are well off financially but they absolutely hate their lives.

I look forward to working with you very soon! One of our main goals for 2015 was to assist as many people as possible to start a business of their own. I am VERY proud to say we assisted many, many people to achieve this goal.

The only question right now is will you be one of the people who achieves this goal or one of the people who lets opportunity pass them by?

Here's where you begin - Start your business!

Can't wait to start working with you!

How to Generate Free Network Marketing Leads

It does not matter which search engine you use - Google, Yahoo, Bing or any of the others - you are sure to find pages of results for companies offering "free MLM leads".  In fact, it is not unusual to find a lead generation company offering up to ten thousand free MLM leads.

The offer is usually pretty simple and basic. Complete the short form below including your name and primary e-mail and we'll send you a link to download your new list. Now think about that. Seriously. Because you may have just paid a very dear price to get your hands on one or two totally universal, definitely non-qualified names and emails. In fact, you could even find your own contact info on the list!

Free Network Marketing Leads? So you prefer Quantity To Quality?

It requires a lot of time, energy and skill to generate the name of a person who is not only actively intending to start their own business, but who also has the time and resources available to start right away. So why would any person offer to give away this valuable resource?

They do not. Not really. Any free leads you might pick up will cost you your contact information and, possibilities are, you will now find yourself on a list that's either given away or sold to dozens, perhaps even hundreds or thousands of other people who are seeking to promote their products, services and business opportunities.

These firms that give leads away for free, may put little effort into qualifying those leads.

They could have gathered additional info to better qualify these leads, but chances are they didn't. And even if the did, it is not likely that they will give this information away for free. A verified lead is much more valuable and that they won't go for free. Generally these free leads are gathered from co-registration forms and only contain the name and email address, possibly completed for something free just like you did .

A company that goes through the trouble of conscientiously corroborating whether a lead is really looking for a business venture and has discussed with the registrant whether or not they can afford to start their own business, obviously will charge a substantial price for this information.

The Best Free Network Marketing Leads

Generating your own leads through the rules of attraction marketing is the simplest way to generate a high quality fresh lead. And you do not have to go broke to do it.    

One methodology is to write articles about your opportunity and products, which addresses the concerns of your target market.

If you place a call to action before the end of your article, you can lead interested parties through to your webpage, or landing page.

All you've got to do is upload your article and then promote it. That way people that are looking for answers to questions about your opportunity will seek you out, rather than you having to chase them.

Forums, blogs, and other social media sites like Facebook or LinkedIn are wonderful places to find an audience.

Make friends, offer your expertise, be useful and brand yourself by becoming into a valuable and frequent contributor. Attraction marketing works by promoting yourself initially, then promoting your product later when people have learned to trust and like you.

After a while you'll have created relationships with people who are genuinely enthusiastic about your product and opportunity, and through attraction marketing you have created your own free, qualified MLM leads.

Help For The Beginning Network Marketer

Starting a new business can be scary. There is a lot to learn. But it’s not nuclear science.  The only real way to fail in network marketing is to quit.  But I remember how unsure I was when I started, and so I'm going to share some tips that will help.

Who Said You Need to Have All the Answers?

Remember in school when you were afraid the teacher would call on you for the one question you didn’t know the answer to? A question would be posed and you’d look down at your desk and frantically pray, “No, no, no, please don’t call on me. Not for this one. Please no, not me.” It can be traumatizing to some kids, if they live in fear they’ll look stupid in front of their peers.

Some adults still live with that same fear. Network marketers are particularly vulnerable. What if someone asks you a question for which you don't have the answer?

Here's the thing, though: Who said, or where did you read that you need to have all the answers?  Even if you're a sponsor, team leader, Manager or Director, what is the worst that would happen if you uttered the words, "I’m not sure, but I will find out and get back to you?”

 Never Show Your Desperation

There is a fine line between being assertive and being aggressive, between being proactive and being obnoxious. Okay maybe not such a fine line with being obnoxious – most of us can recognize that behavior.

What some network marketers have a hard time discerning is when their behavior makes them look desperate. Yet the rest of their audience can clearly see the desperation in their words or actions.

Help for Shy Network Marketers

Do you think you're too shy or introverted to be successful in network marketing? Does the thought of approaching strangers to talk up your product line or business opportunity give you a sick feeling in your stomach? Will you avoid asking for referrals simply because it feels too uncomfortable for you? Don't automatically dismiss a profitable network marketing career just because you get a little nervous about making phone calls to strangers - most everyone experiences this kind of fear at one time or another, and just about everyone can overcome it.
 
Should You Sign Up With a Company Because You Absolutely Love the Products?

There are so many options available if you want to be part of the direct selling industry. There is no shortage of product lines and of companies whose primary product line is similar to other companies. You certainly have your choice of which company to represent. In your decision process you should consider the company’s compensation plan, policies and procedures and whether or not the products are consumables – making it likely customers will reorder.


Not Everyone Will Be Your Fan

According to the Direct Selling Association, 15.1 million people in the U.S. are involved in direct selling. That’s a lot of people in this industry, and new people are joining every day. More consultants means more competition for you. In fact, competitors are everywhere – on different teams, working with different companies, or even on YOUR team. 

I am very involved in network marketing with a fabulous company called Ariix.  I love the network marketing industry - so much so that I have written a book about it that is scheduled to be published later this year!  Yes, I do have other ventures like coaching and Bob's store.  But my passion is for the network marketing industry because of its ability to help ordinary people change their lives.

So now I ask you.  Do you want the freedom to set your own schedule?  Do you want to be able to spend time making memories with your family before it's too late?  Do you want to wear your pajamas to work?  Then contact me.  Because the only thing I love more than building my network marketing business is helping you build yours!

Got Leads? Using Blog Comments To Get Free Leads for Your MLM

One of the easiest ways to get free leads for your MLM is by commenting on blogs that are relevant to the product you are trying to promote.

When you are just starting out promoting your business online, you should try to leave comments on as many blogs as possible.

Not every comment you leave will be accepted by the blogger and not every comment you leave will get a click thru from a reader. The fastest way to find blogs that will be applicable to your product will be by pasting this into your Google search box:

site: inurl:blog “post a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” “your product”

Quickly interpreted this implies the word blog is in the URL with the words post a comment.

The minus before the second and third terms makes Google ignore any blogs where the comments are closed and where you have got to be signed in. And of course, "your product" is whatever you are promoting.

Look for Active Blogs

Be aware of the dates of posts, you don't want to waste your time posting comments on inactive blogs.

If you have the SEOQuake toolbar on your computer, this will tell you the Page Rank of the blog you're looking at. Page Ranks go from nil to nine, so if you can comment on blogs possessing a page rank above two or three, the standard of the link you get in exchange is better and Google will reward you for that.

The more readers a blog has, the more chance you will have to comment on other people's posts and the site's articles. When you leave your comment be sure it is beneficial. The blogger is giving you a valuable link so leave something valuable in turn. A pointless comment is no good to the blogger and it'll be deleted, so you have wasted your time. Occasionally even if you do leave a good comment it may be deleted.  Unfortunately you are in the hands of the blogger.

This is the reason you will have to spend a lot of hours blog commenting. The advantage is that you'll get links back to your website whether or not you get people opting in, which should bring your website up in the rankings.

Look for DoFollow Blogs

Many sites enable you to make public a comment , however they do not enable you to leave backlinks for your internet site. No follow blogs are not going to benefit you, so go on to the next .

You'll be able to see if the names in the comment boxes are spotlighted in blue, i.e. Links and a few blogs permit you to put two links in the comment box. If you want to get leads then you definitely should funnel people that click your link to a capture page where you can obtain their email address and other information you might need. If you don’t know how to create capture pages, don’t worry. Here’s the system I use. It comes with done-for-you capture pages you can use to drive traffic to your network marketing website and build your list of prospects

Make a spreadsheet of all the blogs you have visited and you can soon develop a connection with other people that visit that blog and potentially the blogger if he is a fan of your comments.

Your goal should be to comment in a way that makes others click on your link. They might not click your link or opt-in at first, but if they see you are a repeat visitor and they start to trust you, they may in time. Keep at it and you will build up a list of free leads for your MLM.   

Great Looking Facebook Fan Pages

If you find a common thread that runs through a large number of marketing success stories apart from the hard work element, the need for individuality and innovation is one of the most significant.

The best Facebook Fan pages have already achieved that. Basically, just as there are no two flourishing high street retail outlets that look precisely the same, Facebook has given the go ahead for business owners on Facebook to be able to take their campaigning to new levels by creating exceptionally distinctive and content rich pages that may be compared to WordPress sites or even Squidoo lenses. Its true many businesses are offering expert creations for Facebook business pages, and these are extremely cost effective means of becoming known on Facebook. Based on your type of business it's possible to change a lot of their elements to suit your business model, or have a theme custom-built. It is easy to combine awesome layouts as part of your Facebook business site, alongside digital video, mp3 snippets along with other exciting components, as well as your wall and all the other elements you can incorporate into a Facebook business page.

Nearly a Billion Potential Customers – Why Wait?

I doubt if anyone could have conceived how Facebook would have grown after its early days but it continues to grow and expand and the people that run Facebook are eager to keep ahead of technology. To that end no business large or small should pass up the opportunity to build and grow a substantial Fan base. By using one of these new Facebook templates specifically designed for your business there is no reason why your business cannot cash in on all those millions of fans. Unlike the internet in general, if you choose to advertise on Facebook, by use of their precise data you can aim your ads at a highly targeted audience without the need to worry too much about search engine optimization and other concerns that force internet marketers outside of Facebook to have to keep up with Google’s constant algorithm changes. In Facebook if someone likes you they will remain a fan so long as you treat them right and give them what they want.

The Best Facebook Fan Page - Be Flashy!

Madonna was great but would she have actually been as famous if she didn’t sport all of those bizarre garments? Be sure to take a page from her diary. Your Facebook Fan page could come across like Madonna or Lady Gaga - if that style could possibly be relevant to your business, and become one of the top pages on Facebook.

Folks are always in search of new and different right now. It can be difficult to come up with something which is completely original but with the correct research and some trials you may be capable of creating a Facebook Fan page that turns some heads. People talk, and that’s what you desire above all on a social media site - some of the oddest videos on YouTube have gone viral and your hope is that your Facebook Fan page may do likewise.

See What the Opposition are Doing

Part of your research when you opt to start a Facebook fan page, is snooping around on the best Fan pages to see the key reasons why they are so well received and having a look at your competitors’ sites to find out which aspects you can incorporate as well as which may be made better.

Of course these Fan pages have come about for a reason - don’t lose sight of that. You happen to be creating this to generate income and build up your customer base, so what you implement should be an effective tool to that end. Could you build one of the best Facebook Fan pages?
