Network marketing is one of the fastest growing business models in the world. Many people have found success and failure in their multi-level marketing (MLM) experiences.
Statistically speaking, many people who join a network marketing company do not make a whole lot of money. This is due to lack of motivation or lack of knowledge on how MLM works. To circumvent this problem, I have outlined 5 network marketing tips for success. These tips will help more people succeed and achieve their dreams:
- Engage in personal development. Personal development is when you read at least 10 pages of a self-improvement book related to your business on a daily basis. If you do this consistently, you will have read a 300-page book in less than a month. For instance, if you do not know how to do pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, then pick up some books on how to do PPC advertising to drive traffic to your website. Just do not read 10 pages of People magazine. That will NOT help you become successful in PPC advertising. In essence, if you do not know, you do not grow.
- Be consistent when you get the word out about your business. Consistency is the name of the game. Get your offer out in front of the right people as many times as possible. This is perhaps the most important of all the success tips to achieve the results you want in network marketing.
- Get more than just friends and family as prospects. If somebody tells you that you only need to recruit two people from your network of friends and family to make money in MLM, that is only a half truth. The truth is that after you run out of friends and family to talk to, you need to generate leads to whom you can market your opportunity. That means you have to contact perhaps 20, 30, or 40 people via e-mail, telephone, lead capture page, or whatever, to find that perfect two people to get started in your business.
- Establish a regular schedule for your business. To become successful in network marketing, you need to maintain a consistent, focused effort toward your business. That means you have to work a certain number of hours to become successful. Also, be consistent. For example, plan on working 5 hours a night on your MLM business after you get off work from your 9-to-5 job, and be consistent each day. Do not just do a shoddy job by working 5 hours one night, then 5 hours another night, next week. That is NOT consistency.
- Finally, treat your business like any other business. Small business owners know this too well. They borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to start their own business or franchise and work very hard to make a success of themselves. Why would network marketing be any different? The only difference is that you only spend a couple hundred dollars to be business for yourself, but you still need to work hard to make a success of yourself.
By applying these simple tips for network marketing success, you sidestep many of the landmines that network marketers encounter before they achieve success.
