Make Money in Network Marketing
By Noah Ulrich
Network Marketing is an
excellent way for the "average Joe or Jane" to make an extra income.
This business concept has been around for decades, and it will not
disappear any time soon. The reason for its popularity is simple...
It Works! It does however, require lots of work and most
importantly, dedication and persistance to get the job done. The
best part is, once you are able to set up a solid network, your
business becomes MUCH less time intensive. Almost like going on
"autopilot". The key is to get there as fast as
possible.
Here are just a couple of tips I have found to be
helpful in maximizing your Network Marketing
Business:
1. Use your products regularly. This is Number 1 for a
reason, this is the most ignored part of ANY network marketing
business. How do you expect your business to succeed if you will not
even use your own products? It does seem silly to even have to bring
this up, but there are many who are not using their own products,
and wonder why they are not making any money. Make a commitment to
use your products for a year, and see where your business
goes.
2. Educate yourself constantly. This is very important!
You must rid yourself of negative ideas, sometimes referred to as
"stinkin thinkin". This can be done in a variety of ways. I
recommend reading at least 15 minutes a day, but try to shoot for
30. Business and self-help books are a great way to start. Don't
forget your Multi-level magazines, as they are full of tips and
advice. Lastly, listen to cassette tapes on multi-level tips from
top earners in your business.
3. Spend as much time as possible with your upline.
Your upline should have only one goal in mind, To Help You Succeed!
They are a vast source of knowledge and information. Mingle with top
distributors in your group, or other groups, and ask how they made
it. Most everyone should be more than happy to provide you with
excellent tips and advice.
4. Present your products and marketing plan personally
to at least one person daily. Remember above when I said you are
going to have to work, well here it is. Now here is the key, the
prospects to whom you present your plan, do not have to be yours
personally. Show the plan for your downline, and not only will you
create "security" by placing members in your downlines' downline, it
will also give you a boost in your personal income! I can guarantee
if you were to follow this rule for 6 months, you would create a
downline with enough width and depth to create an income to sustain
you and your family for life.
5. Care for your downline. An entire book can be
written on this topic. Usually, it's the little things that show you
really care. Try to maintain regular contact, and always praise your
distributor's accomplishments. You can even offer incentives for
specific achievements, such as money, travel, recognition, or other
rewards, to help motivate your
group.
6. Duplicate yourself by making distributors
independent of you. This will help to multiply your time, thus
making you and your group more effective. Always lead by example.
Never stop recruiting, training and retailing. Remember the KISS
formula - "Keep It Simple, Sweety" I know, I know, I changed the
last word, but it maintains the meaning. This can be done my
conducting simple, brief, yet dramatic presentations, and teaching
your downline to do the same.
7. Create a large customer base. This is another
largely ignored, yet very important, piece of your network marketing
business. Many try so hard to build a huge downline, that they
forget how much profit they could also make by selling their
products to retail customers. Some people will just not want to
become part of your downline, no matter how great a product/system
you may have. This does not mean they will not be personally
interested in your product. Try to make everyone your customer. Once
you earn their trust, they will come to you more, and perhaps even
join your downline later. Always "leave the door open", as people's
needs do change.
8. Focus on your customers needs. You must give
customers more than they expect, and always satisfy your customers
complaints immediately. Try to listen 80% of the time, and talk only
20%. As stated above, your customers can be a huge source of future
referrals and/or business. You must earn and maintain their trust.
Once you have their trust, you can always ask for referrals, which
leads to even more business and a larger
downline.
9. Set daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals - and
Write Them Down! You may have heard the expression, "How do you eat
an elephant? One bite at a time." Breaking up a larger goal into
smaller easily attainable goals, is the key to success. You cannot
just jump to the end, you have to make progress everyday. Writing
them down is another largely ignored, important tip to help you
succeed. A goal is just a "passing thought", or "wish" until you put
it in writing. That is when it becomes concrete and real. It is also
a great idea to keep a business journal of your daily activities, as
it will help you to become more productive and
time-conscious.
10. Get Out There And Do It Now! All of the knowledge
in the world is useless and unprofitable, until you put the most
important ingredient of them all in place. This "secret" ingredient
should come as no surprise at all, but this is the #1 reason for
failure at anything in life. It is ACTION! Remember, knowledge is
useless without action.
