Why do 98% of network marketers not make any money!? The Marketing!
OK last part of the reason 98% of network marketers fail! They don't understand how to market I went into this a little bit in my last Blog post! So now you have that awesome list of names and #s do your research on that list how on that list already uses the things that you sell and if so can you save them money? If the answer is that you know people and that you can save them money then your job will be 1,000 times easier! OK so you have that list broke down to who uses your product already now this is the hard part you need to call them and mention that you might be able to save them money! WOW that was hard! Not really but again the 98% of people that fail wont do just that! pick up the phone and call the people that want to save money on the things they already buy! So lets say you do pick up the phone and lest say the person answers the phone what now.. This is where you come in! Say Hi this is Your name i noticed that your book a trip i was wondering if i could show you a way that you might be able to save on your next one would you be interested?...... wait for answer... You would great what time are you free this week.. its best to set appointments the same day but it dose not always work set the appointment sit down and show them your products and how they save money when they use them.... so they like the products here is your in! Mention that you the seller makes money when people buy the products and ask do you keep you income options open?..... wait for answer... you do well here is how i make money selling the things that you just bought! Remember that on every one will want to start a business but almost everyone wants to save on there travel! TO SAVE ON YOURS
Why do 98% of network marketers not make any money!? The Network!
OK Networkers time to elaborate on The Network side of net work marketing! So lets take your product... mine is travel.... write down everyone you know that likes to travel put them on your list of names first and foremost. Show them your products and how they would save buy using them! Easy right you would think so but here is the catch the people that your marketing to! Do they trust you? Do the even like you? you see people buy from people they like and trust so its vary important to build that trust and like along with the marketing that your are doing this is why in every network marketing company they tell you to make a list of names! Now in my experience its really important to have a relation ship with your list before you start asking them to buy unless they already buy what it is your selling then you can mention the fact that you might be able to save them money on the things they are buying.. you see people you always looking for a great deal if you can give them that then you on you way to making some money... That is the old school way and don't get me wrong it works but only some of the time. Now for the new school way the Internet and using it to market you and your products! OK so again we will use the product i sell travel where do people look for travel deals? Find a place where you would look for great travel deals and post a ADD there.. ether a pay add or article or what ever you choose make it not to sale'sie no one likes to be sold!! So its that simple know your market give your market what they want..... hope this helps!
Why do 98% of network marketers not make any money!?
There are many reasons this happens, but if you boil it down to the vary basic reasons you will come up with two and there right in the name "Network Marketing". The First reason is your Network, every training i have ever been to this vary quote is said at least once or more times. "Your Network is your net worth" but what the neck dose this mean? Well its simple the people that you know or should i say know you is what is going to make you or break you! Many people who decide to get into Network Marketing don't have the right type of network, yes yes they tell you to make a list of names and #s of people who know you by first name, and yes some times this works but most the time it dose not! Have you every asked your self why it is that some people can sponsor 12 people in there first day? I know i have and i know why they can its there Network, you see the people that can sponsor 12 people in 24 hours already have the right type of network. They have people in there life that are ether business minded or already have a business in place in there life that is the real key to success. Now i am not say not to give your net work the chance to say NO to you what i am saying is that if you already know that someone has that business mind set its much easier for them to say YES! This is why when you first get in the BIZ they most often tell you to write the 20 most successful people you know on the top of you list! So now that you know that you really need the right type of network now can you get that network? Aaaahaaa the 1,000,000 $ questions I want to keep this blog short so ill get into that in my next one... sorry for the tease but it will make more sense latter.
Reason 2 for the fail of 98% of Network Marketers, you guessed it the marketing strategies they use! There are really 2 proven strategies that the 2% of people that are making money use they are the following. One they market to the right network off line, two they market to the right network on line! Sounds simple enough right! Well when you look at it like that it really is, but most people tend to make things harder then they need to... So Now do we market to the right people off line well here is the real trick, Lets take my product TRAVEL so i get in a TRAVEL network marketing business who would i market to? Duh people i know who like to travel! OK now what about the business side what if i am looking for the type of people in my life who would consider starting a business who would i talk to.....? Duh again people i know who are already in business for them self! Easy as that people ill get into better depth in my next blog! Now of the on line marketing same strategies but only using the Internet! Find where people that like your product look for your product and get it in front of them using ether blogs, videos, articles, Pay Per Click, Classifieds, and there are even a few more again next blog!
In the end its really as simple as having the right network and having the right marketing.. Stay on the look out for my next blog where ill go into more details!

How to be a leader #4
Have amazing character Its funny it seams so simple but if your going to lead others you can't lie, cheat, miss lead, or embellish the facts! I like to think of being a leader or becoming a leader! If your a good person and do the right things people will follow you! But if they see a ouch of non truth or doubt in you they will run faster then you can try and catch them! Think of Lincon he was fighting for what was right! No person should be help against there will or even worse made to work for nothing! The north new they where right and that is why they won the war! So always do the right thing lead by example and don't ever forget about the people you lead once you make them more impotent then your self then you know your on the right rode!
So do the right thing make everyone on your teams dream more impotent then your own and you dreams will come true!
So do the right thing make everyone on your teams dream more impotent then your own and you dreams will come true!

How to be a leader part 1
This is the fist part of what i believe is the best way to really become a leader! Setting a high goal, you see many people tend to set here goals lower so that they can be more easily achieved. So if your going to set a goal make it one that almost scares you! If your goal dose not scare you its not big enough! setting high goals will inspire the people that you lead to set there goals higher and push them and you to do everything in your power to achieve them.

NO! NO! NO!
How many No's will you go threw before you find your yes? I was at a live training for Worldventures and one of the trainers was talking about the word no and how people are mentally trained over years to be discouraged buy the word know. He said the 98% of network marketer that do fail give up after getting 20-50 nos and give up trying! wow 50 nos and you give up? I thought about that and how many people i would be able to get No's from before i gave up... then she brought up a person from her team. He started by saying I have gotten 100 nos in a row with out getting one yes! Now how many of use would be able to take 100 nos in a row? I taught about that for a few minuets and made up my mind that i would take as many nos as it would take before i would give up! Most people say that is madness your just losing money, or that will never work, or why are you still doing that if it is not working? I as them the same about there J.O.B I ask them do you love your job? If you had enough money to quit would you still stay there? Most people say "NO!" that is why i am doing this! As much as i love my job, as good as i get payed I don't want to be there until i turn 65 or how ever old i will need to be to retie, do you want that? "NO" OK what is you plan to get out of where you are? At least i have a plan, you don't even have that!!!! I don't know if you know this but if your are under the age of 40 you probably wont get "social security" so why the #$@@ would you work in a J.O.B. that you don't like that dose not pay you what your worth and that is not going to let you retire until your 55 if your lucky!

Stop the madness!!
Stop the madness networkers, This Friday was a hard one for me I have to Deal with a loved ones funeral my grandmothers to be exact. I am not telling you this for you to feel pity on me or anything like that I brought it up because when i was waiting for the service to start i noticed my grandpa sitting in his wheel chair beside his wife's casket "my grandma" and as the service was to start the where going to wheel him into the seating area. That when he said "no I want to stay right here" so after talking with the funeral director and telling him his wishes they did. As every one ells sat in the crowd my grandpa sat right where he had sat for 60 years beside my grandma's side never wavering never asking him self whats in it for me, never imagining this day would ever come!
You see fellow Networker's some times we are looking something more then what we have whether its a better company, a better product or even a better system to help us market. Now I am in no way saying by any means that we should not always be looking for a better business opportunity, product or system what i am saying is that YOU and the key to making it all work! Stop the madness I say make a commitment to your self your company and even the system you use to market! who know with some hard work and some and a little luck in a few years you may just be sitting on that beach, in that nice house or in that amazing new car wondering what did i do to deserve this!
You see my grandpa lived every waking minute of his life loving my grandma, I feel you should put that same mind set into your networking business, stop the madness of all ways looking of a better way and focus on what you already have and put your everything into it!
I have found the way, the way to have the things i want!

How to pick your mlm like the pros!
People often want to know what a good MLM consist of and how to pic out a good company vs a not so good one!
This is probably one of the most debated things in mlm everyone out there says that there company is the best or that it has the best comp plan or something along that line. Well i ask you this if everyone is saying there company is the best or there company is the the best how can you decide what one is right for you?
Ill give you a few guides that you can use when picking a mlm that are simple and easy to use!
#1 thing to look at- the products it seams so simple but the products a company offers has a lot to do with the success of the company and have a direct effect on you as a rep or distributor or what ever you title is. So take a close look at the products your offering would you use them, how many other people do you know would use them, what is the over all market of your products and what is the size of the industry, and what is the composition in that market?
#2 Leaders- this is also a huge thing when considering a company look at the founder or founders what kind of credentials do they have? Dose your company have a main office, this is also big deal it give people a tangible when looking at a company. Look at every really big company out there they all have offices or headquarters.

Formulation is the most risky to join this 98% of all network marketing company fail in this stage, how ever there is also a huge potential to make money in this stage as well. Concentration any company in concentration has made 50 million in sales in a given year, this is also a great time to make money because not many people know about the company and unlike formulation the risk is a lot less 90% of company that are in formulation make it to stability! Momentum this is where the money is really made, how ever if you get in a company that is already in momentum the gains will not always be as good as if you became a part in the 2 stages before this stage. Last but not least Stability Its is a company that has been around and has made a name for them self I.E. Amway, Mary Kay, So forth this is the least amount of risk when you join a company in this stage but there is much less opportunity to make more, because everyone has herd of the company and most people have ether found a distributor to buy products from or have been in the company.
#4 Comp Plan! Here is where the rubber meets the road! There are so many comp plans I don't even want to was you time by going over them all, Just know this you want a comp plan with no retractions, you see some comp plans only pay out so much or go so deep or wide before you a punished for growing it to big so make sure you understand what your comp plan entails is there a restriction on how much you can make, what kind of bonus's are there I.E. Car bonus, house bonus, bonus for building a team and so forth!

What did you do today?
I saw a great interview with Aplo Ohno about his training tactics when the Olympics where going on. He was talking about his training and how at the end of every day he would lay in bed and ask him self "did I do everything I could do to become better today" I thought about that statement for about a hour. I wondered how hard it would be to honestly say yes to that question and all the things i would have to do to be comfortable to answer yes!
You see I really don't think there would be a day that i could lay in bed and say yes to that and I guess that is the point, you need to really drive your self everyday to become or to get what it is that you want and if at the end of every day you ask yourself that simple but loaded question "did I do everything I could do to become better today" then tomorrow you will do a little more and the day after a little more and so on!
So I ask you "did you do everything you could do to become better today?" if you to answer no like I do then lets try a little harder tomorrow and even harder the day after that and so on!
