Firstly just let me congratulate you on finding this article. I know it sounds inane to get congratulated for something like that but by reading this article, you have taken your first step to finding out on how you are going to become successful online. This is where 95% of marketers fold, which is a real shame because they don't realize that they need to change the way they approach their business online.
O.K, the first question.
Why am I struggling with my MLM business opportunity?
The answer is if truth be told going to go against everything your upline has continually probably told you. This is for the reason that they don't realize either. Nearly all of them use their reputation to market online which they have built up over time by telling everyone how fantastic they are. And if that was true, they wouldn't have to be a part of these systems anymore and prey on the new online marketer that joins them under the hype of all their achievement.
Is this you? Joining a program under the hype can only end in tragedy. And this doesn't work out for the sponsor either because the new recruit has no idea on how to successfully build a downline and when no money comes in after a couple of months, they up and quit. No surprises there.
The first thing you are doing wrong with your MLM business opportunity is promoting your referral link. "WHAT! Is this guy serious?" Absolutely! Let me explain.
No-one cares about your business opportunity. People who aren't caught up with online marketing think that it's all a con and other online marketers are already focused on their particular business opportunity and couldn't care less about yours.
Others can do it, how can I?
Well, if you explore and stumble on the best online marketers, you will realize that they are all leaders. I know that this can look like too much to accomplish but becoming an online marketing leader and coach is the best way that you can build a business online.
Don't panic! Becoming an online marketing coach and mentor is really quite easy. As is was for me, you just have to find a program that shows you exactly what is vital and the techniques, strategies and ideas that actually really do work. I engage in a great system, but advertising in articles is a no - no with the majority of article submission websites so you will have to make contact with me to hear about it.
What I can tell you here is that your referral link is not your business opportunity. It is not your online business. YOU ARE! This is the mindset essential for you to do splendidly online. Don't get me wrong, you can still build your downline in your current MLM program but not by promoting your referral link. Self promotion and offering people value and useful information is key. When someone does a search online for your current MLM business, (lets say it's AshMax for this example), they will look over the first 6 or 7 search results in Google, Yahoo or MSN and will more than likely join one of the teams at the top.
This is where you have to be and this is where I am after I learned the reality of successful online marketing.
