Started business

As with anything you want to do, it's always helpful to look for a model first. Find someone who has accomplished what you want, and take a close look at exactly what they did and how they did it. You don't need to duplicate every step of their plan, but when you understand the parts of that model, you can save yourself a lot of trial and error. You have put yourself in a much closer position to success. All that means is, "Don't re-invent the wheel." In internet marketing, one model that has risen to the top over the years is the single product page. The normal inclination of most people in network marketing when they sell products is to offer a choice of several or many products on the same page. Most MLM websites seem to feature a virtual catalog of dozens or hundreds of products. A catalog like that works when someone goes to the catalog to find a particular product to buy. But in network marketing, it's rare have buyers like that. Mostly, they are just looking. They get confused by so many items, so they click away. The correct solution is, follow the "single page" model. Put a single product on a website and drive targeted traffic to that page. That model works. If you're working with a company that doesn't do this, it's best to beat the bushes to find one that does.


Network marketing is like anything else you do in life. When you are trying to achieve a goal, especially in an area that is new to you, you are not going to do it in a straight line. There will always be some setbacks. You've got to recognize that and be prepared to handle the frustrations. One solution that works well is to come up with a really, really big reason to be successful. The bigger your reason, the tougher it will be for you to give up when times get tough. As you're getting started, it's crucial to picture your reason and write it out and look at it and think about it every day. Ask yourself some questions. What gets you most excited? %What type of work have you done that you really loved - or hated? Is there some job you love that you'd do forever, even if you weren't getting paid for it? What's your perfect way to spend your free time? When everything's coming up aces, how will you change your lifestyle? How do you act with the people you are closest to, and are you in the best possible position to create those relationships the way you want them to be? What changes would you see in those relationships if you had no money problems? How much more time would you be able to spend with the people you love if you didn't have to commute to a job every day? When you know the answers to questions like these, you have a foundation for MLM success.


You can get more details on this information, plus a lot more in Michael Dlouhy's ebook, "Success In 10 Steps." It's been a very popular read, especially for frustrated network marketers, having been downloaded 100,000 times now. The author blows out of the water the widely-accepted idea that you should begin by recruiting friends and family. That's a recipe for disaster. MLM's big failure rate means you get a lot of family members upset or angry with you, and that's not good. Besides, anyone who has big MLM success eventually has to promote to a cold market anyway. So you may as well start there. Save your friends and family for later, after you've proven you can build a profitable business. The book is full of very useful ideas.
