Manny struggling marketers think that the top network marketers have a special formula to attract people into their business.  They make all the sales and generate all the revenue while their down line struggles to make a few bucks in a year.

Here is something to ponder about, the leaders don’t have a magic formula.  Network marketing is much like climbing a steep cliff.  You spit once in a while, it can be scary at times, sometimes you even wonder if its worth it but, with time, determination and perseverance you will get to the top.  That’s just what how the top network marketers achieved success.

Watching leaders is inspiring.  Their business is so abundant that they pass down prospects to their organizations leaders because they don’t have the rime  to work will all the people they attract.

Wouldn’t you like to be in that situation?

So what is so attractive about them?

Why is it that people flock to these top earners?

People gravitate to leadership.  Most of the general population are followers in search of leaders that will offer them value. People unconsciously seek out people who are more powerful and more knowledgeable then them.  The followers subconsciously  hope that if they get close enough and stick around long enough something might rub off on
them and they  magically hit success or rather hits them.

You must become aware that people are subconsciously attracted to those that give out that aura of leadership and
possess a high level of value to offer.

To have gain success in marketing you have to start to convey leadership so eventually you can become a leader with a high level of value to offer.

In  Internet marketing these values are:

• knowledge on traffic generation
• lead conversion
• prospecting.

Struggling network marketers should realize that its not about your business its about what value you have to offer to others.

To develop into a leader you will have to challenge the views of yourself that you may have and letting go of any
negative influences you may have in your life.  To grow in to a leader you will have to increase your value by
gaining knowledge on marketing strategies and prospecting.  This might mean stepping out of your comfort zone which could be scary but well worth the risk.

Where do you begin on your road to becoming a leader?

You find leaders and you emulate them.  Leave the need frame of mind and start to have an abundance mentality.  Recognize that you don’t need to sponsor people, that leaders only operate in abundance and not need.

Leadership is about being impervious to criticism where quitting or failure never enters their mind.  You have to become impermeable to  failure or criticisms and never fear loss.  To be a top network marketer you always stay one step ahead of everybody else by continually increasing your value through books, courses, and conferences ranging from marketing to personal growth.

Buy every book and every course they can get their hands on because they understand its not about them its about what value they bring to others.  Know that by growing their knowledge and showing it through marketing yourself s as opposed to their business is a sure way to achieve success in network marketing.

I hope is that you take even a little snippet from this article and start increasing your value.  There is one
question you should ask yourself before you go out and start marketing…

Are you a leader and what value do you offer others?

If you struggle with the answer make sure to Learn How Become A Valuable Leader.

If you have an Internet home business either an MLM or a GPT type of business you need to recruit new team member to you enterprise if you want to create a serious income.

This actually requires you to get on the phone to talk and connect with people.  This is a frightening thought for most marketers.

When I first started I was scared to death to call someone.  I would put it off because I feared that they might yell at me or worse REJECT me!

When I did make an actual call I would be a bumbling idiot on the phone and a few times I even sat there listening to people pitching me their businesses.  Not to mention a lot of people simply blew me off.

I was making the same mistakes as most people… I was taking all this personally when in reality it’s not.

I was lucky enough to come across Black Belt Recruiting about 6 months to my being in an online business.  This Course changed the way I looked at prospecting.  I learned that it’s not personal, its business.

Black Belt Recruiting also helped me realize that I’m not asking just anyone to join my business, but that I’m actually interviewing for business partners.  It not about me getting someone to join my opportunity it’s about finding someone I actually want to invest my time in.  It’s about whether YOU want to work with that person or not.

Prospecting is about knowing that you have something fantastic to offer to the right person.  It’s about having the posture and about having a mindset of a leader who has something precious and valuable to offer to the right person.

Don’t get attached to your prospects, the right people will see your value and the wrong once will not.   To get emotionally attached to your prospects is self destructive.  Your goal is to sift through coal to find the diamonds.

I’m not a master at prospecting, I still sometimes fumble and make mistakes but thanks to Black Belt Recruiting I’m no longer a bumbling idiot with my prospects.

Do you understand the impact of FTC on internet home businesses?

Well if you didn’t before, you will now. The FTC new regulations state that you must be honest about your marketing of your home business, about the income claims and testimonials. These regulations are causing some stress, as the FTC is saying who must disclose and when, they aren’t specifically pointing out what you should be saying.

There isn’t a black and white answer for this type of situation, but to help with some of that, some are pointing out some solutions that should fit within FTC regulations.

For example, the major impact of FTC on internet home businesses are the false claims often produced by people promising you would make so much money with a particular home business or affiliate program.  Claims as to how much thousands of dollars a person would earn must be supported.

Let me just say that you should never be making of  claims thousands over night in a business as there is a large possibility that a business could make nothing at all.  There are no guaranties in business!

Why are these regulations in place?

This major impact of FTC on internet home businesses and the regulations put forth are to ensure that people are honest with what they are promoting.  Some readers may feel your article or information may be biased or even wrong if they feel you are simply writing to promote a special product or service.

By not making claims that someone could make thousands overnight and be honest that results are not typical, people may feel they are better educated about what they are getting into.   You can prevent fines and any other issues by simply marketing yourself ethically.

I always like say to anyone that is looking at joining my opportunity that “yes, you could make lots of money, then again you  might not make anything at all, in fact you could even loose money.  It is all dependent on what you do.”

Honesty makes people actually appreciate you, this builds trust and it actually filters out the get rich quick people form the diamonds that you want to include in your enterprise.

Give me your feelings and oppinions on these FTC regulations in the comments, speak your mind!

It is hard to promote an MLM business.

Many are looking to go through the Internet to make their connections. This is a wise choice but there are a few things to avoid when trying social media marketing.

1. You never want to announce your business right off. It is important to gain friendship and respect.If you go straight to the Business Opportunity you may be blacklisted on your Facebook, or Twitter site. Always send interested people to your blog or Youtube site first.
2. Don’t immerse them straight in the company you are representing. They want to know what you are bout first, not what your company is.
3. If someone shows interest in your business, then don’t discuss it in the open forum, talk about it through messages that others will not see.

Avoid these 3 pitfalls and you will be able to market effectively on social media.

About 2 months ago I went for a trip to Vietnam.  We spent a whole month sight seeing and lazing around on the beach.  It was a great trip but it had one major side effect…

When we got home and it was time again to start marketing and creating content I found myself, dare I say it, procrastinating?

Yes the month since I’ve been back I’ve been doing the one thing that can kill a network marketer in building their enterprise, I started procrastinating.

Instead of popping out content left and right, syndicating my content on to social networks, all I did was listen to courses and reading training material, blogs of other marketers, listening to personal development CD’s and yes, I started spending hours watching the electronic income reducer, the TV.

I kept piling up great marketing ideas and content ideas for SEO on but I just couldn’t get around to doing it.

Then I decided enough was enough!

I had stop this nonsense I needed content and I needed a quick way to get it out on to the internet, without spending a lot of time and money.  So that’s what I did I asked marketers who were my mentors and friends for ways to outsource the tasks of writing content and getting it out to social networks.  I’m sure glad I did.

I was given a great resource for content syndication which allows me to get my stuff out there and bookmarked and voted on sites like Digg, and Delicious by hundreds of different people without really doing anything but setting up the campaigns.

I was also directed to great resources to outsourcing my content creation, Craigslist and Articez.com. I started to use Articlez.com this week and I must say I am more then satisfied with the quality and the turnaround time on the articles, not to mention the price.

I guess something good came out my procrastination.  I found some time to source out tasks that take me the longest to accomplish.

Now I’m working smarter not harder!
