subject: Online MLM Marketing What It Takes [print this page] Only 3% of all online marketers will ever make more than $500 in their life time. But the fact is that everyone can "make it" in their network marketing business, they just have to be shown the right way!
Success should be treated like a science because there are certain universal steps that apply to "making it" in any business.
And these steps can be duplicated by anybody, and will achieve positive results over and over again without fail.
The real question is, are you currently on the right path to success? Here are 3 questions you need to ask yourself to find out!
1. Do I have a clear understanding behind my true purpose for being in an mlm business?
I'm sure part of the reason you started your business was to make money, but that is a very superficial reason that will not give you any true motivation.
Everyone wants more money, and I'm even going to show you how to get it without all of the headache that you've almost certainly been told you have to go through. I do want you to dig deeper though and find your true passions behind your business.
For me, it's the ability to take care of my family. To have extra time and freedom to enjoy life, go on world class vacations, etc...
Now that is a means of motivation far beyond just saying "money". Take the time, write out your purpose, and post it where it will constantly be in plain sight. Then every time your attention starts to waver, take a moment to read your purpose and read it with passion. Feel it. Feel your purpose from deep inside of you, and notice what a dramatic difference it makes in your day!
2. Do I spend the time I have allocated to working on my business, actually working on my business?
For some people they can very quickly answer that question with a certain "no". For many others however, they may not realize that "no" is the correct answer for them as well.
It is very easy to confuse activity with progress. Re-organizing your list to call for the 3rd time this morning is an example I often hear.
When you have been told the wrong things to do, it simply isn't comfortable doing them so your mind will try to convince you that you are working, even though you really are not.
Your subconscious mind will convince you that you're working hard because you are being active, when the truth is nothing is being accomplished.
Do yourself a favor and write out your goals for the day, the night before. Get everything organized and in place that you will need. If you do that, you will find that you are getting more accomplished in 1 2 hours of work than you did before in a full 8 hour day!
3. Do I have someone teaching me the right ways to market on a step by step process. We already covered that the "traditional methods" that you have been told about do not work. You know that first hand.
The 3 foot rule does not work!
You need more than being told to go online and "friend" every single person you can find and plaster/spam your "great opportunity" all over social networking sites.
It will just tick people off at you and give you a bad name.
Everybody's company is great, everybody's company has an amazing pay plan, everybody's product or in some cases lack of a product is incredible, and everybody just needs to recruit two people who will recruit two people, blah blah blah.
Nobody wants to hear that because it's a bunch of crap!
People DO NOT join companies or products they join YOU!
Take the time to find out about me, my dreams, and my goals. Then tell me how YOU can help me achieve those goals and now I will listen.
If you aren't doing this, if you don't know how to do this, then you need to find a mentor that will teach you, because this is the only way to build long-term passive and residual income, no matter what your business is!
