subject: Does Your Network Marketing Business Really Belong To You [print this page] Every network marketer, home based business owner, or direct sales distributor has one thing in common. You are basically leasing a distributorship from whatever company you are with. You may think you own a business but unless you have used the self branding concept that ALL the top income earners in the industry use you really own nothing.
YOU can inadvertently break one rule and be kicked out of the company. The company could decide to change their policies and disqualify anyone from earning money. There have been some top producers that were summarily fired from their business this way. Recently, a fairly large company changed their rules and took away some 6 figure paychecks from some of the top producers.
Nearly every network marketing, direct sales, or home based businesses company has a website with a little form where visitors can leave their contact information so they can receive more information. All those companies use an autoresponder which collects the names of those who "opt-in" for more info and automatically sends them a series of emails.
You don't have to be a large corporation to use this service either. It is available to anyone and usually starts around $20.00 for the basic service which will collect up to 10,000 names, store your messages, let you broadcast messages as often as you want, and allow you to generate the form used to opt-in that you can use on any site you own.
This one service gives you the capability of collecting leads for your business and sending emails to them that you control. You can write the emails and set how often they are sent and how many are sent. You can also broadcast emails to the whole list by writing one and sending it. You can instruct, teach, promote, or inform everyone on your list anything you want.
EVERY single income leader uses this strategy as part of their business. When you hear that the money is in the list, it is one of these services that controls your list for you. All the leaders use a simple three step process in their business. They build a list by promoting themselves as a leader with solutions. They build a relationship with those on the list by providing effective resources and tools used to build a marketing business. And finally they monetize the list with their own products and affiliate links to those helpful products and services.
If you become a student of the industry and raise your value and learn what works and share that with everyone you come in contact with you will be positioned as a leader. You have to become a leader if you are to succeed. There are zero income leaders that do not use this process or that have not become leaders in their own right. People join people in business not companies and it is leaders that get the most people to join them.
Anyone can be a leader too because it is only determined between your ears if you are to be one or not. It is an attitude and a mindset. If you put a group of people in a room who have never been leaders at anything and give them a task to perform as a group, they will pick a leader or one will emerge. It will probably be the one who knows the most about the task. That should tell you that knowledge is a determining factor of who is a leader. You are a leader if you learn one thing you can teach.
If you use this concept in your marketing business of becoming a leader and getting others to join your list for what you can teach them you will one day have a huge list that you can use to make money at will. You will also have a business that you truly own that no one can take away from you. This is attraction marketing and the concept of branding YOU as a business.
