Building an Online Network Marketing Business is in many ways like building any online business. It takes certain skills, a level of motivation and probably most important of all, a willingness to learn and to be ‘coachable’.

In my time building mlm businesses here are the 7 secrets that have been shared with me by some of the most successful online network marketers out there:

1. Have a VERY Strong Reason.
You’ll hear this referred to as ‘the dream’, ‘your goal’ and so on. The whole point of this is that you are going to need something to drive you on, even when things don’t seem like they’re working. Having a nice car is one thing, but as we all know, we can easily settle for less and give up. Get emotionally attached to your goal, make it something you can see, believe and feel strongly about. Amongst the easiest ‘emotional goals’ you can focus on are those involving your children and your immediate family. Imagine being able to provide that dream for your family. Visualise it and see it in your minds eye as if you have already have it, feel it, believe it, get attached to it.

2. Use a ‘System’ to Generate Your Own Leads and Extra Cash
Don’t make the mistake of buying leads. There are lots of systems out there designed to allow you to generate your own leads for free. The systems known as ‘funded proposals’ are designed to do two things: Provide you with an endless stream of new leads and Put money in your pocket. I cannot endorse the funded proposal system enough. Network Marketers suffer two problems: not enough leads and running out of money. The funded proposal solves both of these problems.

3. Promote YOU First.
People join you in business, mostly they don’t really join you in business for the products. People love to follow leaders and will join you in business for your leadership and the relationship they can build with you. By promoting You Inc. it maybe that you can lead your team to opportunities when things may have gone wrong in your existing company. (This doesn’t sound too positive but it is a reality and it does happen)

4. Focus on Attracting Experienced Network Marketers.
This is what we might call a ‘no brainer!’ Experienced network marketers already understand the principles of mlm, they already understand the power of leverage and duplication and most importantly they are usually educated and positive and are a lot easier to work with. By focusing on attracting experienced mlmers you are not going to  go through the whole pyramid, scam argument and all that other negative, time wasting blah blah stuff.

5. Take the Time to Build Relationships with Your Leads
Provide value, care about them, develop bonds, share your skills and experiences. Listen to their challenges and issues, empathise, understand and where appropriate provide solutions. Always remember: It’s the little things that make a BIG difference, one tiny act of kindness can go a VERY long way.

6. If You Can Help – HELP!
Support the network marketing industry, support your fellow network marketers. It really doesn’t matter which company they are with, whether they are cross line, upline, downline or whatever. Always help out where you can. Remember a rising tide will raise all ships. If you can suggest a solution to a problem, suggest it, If you know of a resource that will help someone, send them to it. What goes around comes around. What we give out is what we get back.

7. LEARN Stuff Fom People That Have Already Done It
You simply must be ‘Coachable’ Quite simply makes no sense to try and figure everything out on your own and effectively rewrite the book. there are thousands of successful online network marketers to learn from and they are giving giving giving! Find someone you can relate to and learn from them. Look for a mentor and become a student. ASK For Help!

PPC Domination – A Waste of Money

If you’re really not interested in becoming a PPC blackbelt, then this course is definately not for you!

Actually, if you’re in MLM or Network Marketing and you’re not using PPC advertising then I totally understand how you feel. I shy’d away from PPC for fear of loosing a stack of cash very quickly… As you’ll know there’s a bazillion horror stories out there about PPC and the big G. All the advice I got when I started on my Internet Network Marketing quest was to avoid PPC until ‘I knew what I was doing’.

BUT, we all know that there are people out there who are making, literally, fortunes using the PPC traffic methods.

I got to the point where I decided that I’d like to learn PPC in order to expand my various businesses and on good recommendation invested in Mike Dillard and Jim Yaghi’s PPC Domination course which is available through Magnetic Sponsoring. There’s a full 30 day money back guarantee and Mike Dillard’s reputation is excellent, so, I took the plunge.

To be honest, the first video in the series I didn’t really learn too much and considered actually going for a refund, but, having got through that and moved on to the next video’s I am really impressed. It just felt that it may turn into a pitch for something else… Turns out I was wrong :-)

This post is not to say that the free and paid traffic methods I currently use are not working… on the contrary, they work very well, but, adding the PPC string to the traffic bow seemed a very sensible thing to do, especially when the people running this course are pitching at Internet Network Marketers… that is really special, I don’t know of any other PPC course out there, specifically tailored to the Network Marketing and MLM niche.

Don’t let me decide for you, get the scoop here and get access to a total of 3 free videos which outline the course and talk about what this is really all about

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably not a big fan of the ‘Old School’ network marketing methods. I spent a good few years using these methods, you know the ones:

1. Get a dream (that’s easy ;-) )

2. Build a list of your ‘warm’ contacts… friends, family, colleagues etc etc

3. Grab the phone and go through the script… the one that says “Hey Joe, I just took a look at a very exciting business and I think you’ll like it too…”

4. Get yourself round to Joe’s house with your professional suit on, your briefcase packed full of literature, compensation plans, follow up materials etc

5. Get back to Joe’s house a few days later to follow up

and so on… I’m sure you know the story

Is there something wrong with these methods? Well, in truth, no, there’s nothing wrong with this at all, my issue is this: it is just not easily duplicateable, it’s no secret that in order to be successful using these methods, you are going to have to talk to one heck of a lot of people to find your leaders, and in order to find them you are going to face an awful lot of rejection, disappointment and pain in general, that’s fine if you are the sort of person that can deal with this and if your dream is strong enough, and, generally you will find that there is a ’self improvement’ system which will teach and mentor you, again not a bad thing, but, is it necessary in todays new age of network marketing?

Using these ‘old school’ methods you soon find that your friends, family and other warm contacts soon run out, and you have to start looking at other ways of generating leads, again this is not necessarily easy for most people, sure, theres people out there who just seem to be magnetic, they attract people to themselves and make striking up a conversation look like a walk in the park. In my opinion though, these people are few and far between… So what’s the answer?

Today, we have the internet, we have software systems and we have ways of developing leads without ever having to lift the phone or even leave the house! Sounds a bit more like it to me, and actually, it sounds like a lot more fun!

What we have is ‘The Funded Proposal’ A system which allows you to build your network marketing business online (and making some money while you do it!)

On this page you will find a link to a brilliant eBook which was crafted by ‘The Downline Duplication Specialist’ James Grandstaff, who is a very smart software developer who’s skills include viral traffic generation. The eBook includes transcripts from both James and Daegan Smith… they call him “The King of Never Calling a Single Lead”, Daegan is the head of Internet Marketing for one of the worlds largest network marketing companies, says it all really doesn’t it!

Now if you want to grab yourself a copy of this eBook (valued at nearly $100) and gain redistribution and sales rights in the process, just pop your name and email address into the form.

You’re not going to part with any money in doing this, on the contrary, you are actually going to get yourself surprise bonus access to an extremely powerful media presentation by James Grandstaff, this on it’s own is valued at nearly $300!

Why would I be letting you get access to this for free? All I can say is, all will become very clear!!
