“Get Rich Slowly” with Network Marketing/MLM

Filed under: Lead Generation — BoostYourIncomeFireYourBoss @ 7:03 pm

So you thought that Network Marketing/MLM was a way to “Get Rich Quick”?

For many who believed this to be so, most were mightily disappointed - their experience was often quite the opposite – they “Went broke fast”!

In fact, as many as 95% of networkers quit within 12 months and many never even get started!

To build a network business you have to invest not only your time but money. The irony being that you probably joined the company in the first place to make money – not to spend it!

With the worldwide Credit Crunch currently taking hold many people will be desperate to find ways to generate more income, not expenditure. This presents those of us in Network Marketing/MLM with a great opportunity – if we go about it in the right way!

The challenges a networker is faced with to build a solid business are:-

• A lack of (good) prospects.

• A lack of any kind of real cash flow to invest in advertising to generate more prospects.

• The absence of any REAL duplicatable system.

• A small, but growing downline of new distributors with the same three problems!

The most important aspects of Network Marketing are ‘sponsoring’ i.e., bringing people into your business and, once in, educating and coaching them on how to do the same to generate an income which meets their financial goals.

Get paid to sponsor rather than going bust!

Life is online and it’s fast! I don’t remember who said that but what it implies for networkers is that if you not using the Internet to generate your own leads you could be missing out massively. The same goes for using the latest technology for supporting your team. ie., YouTube, Webinars etc etc.

Of course, you would also want to continue with all current activities to generate leads that have been proving successful for you.

If you have been paying for leads out of your fledgling NWM income you may soon go broke and join the 95% who leave the business. Forget the boasts some people make about their MLM income, ask how much ‘profit’ they made in the last 12 months after all their expenses. Chances are you won’t get an anwer, well, not one that would be helpful!

Having said this, you will soon discover that it is possible to create a source of income from your sponsoring activities which you can use to finance your business without touching your fledgling NWM/MLM income.

Let’s face it, anyone online wanting to find a service or product usually goes straight to Google. Just imagine the impact on your income and business if your name was listed in the top 10 or so on the first page of the Google search?

What better place for Networkers than the Internet to obtain a strong flow of leads for their business, especially ‘qualified’ leads which are essential to the success of every business? Better still, qualified leads who call you first!

Look out for the next post to find out how, though you could take a sneak preview at www.BoostYourIncomeFireYourBoss.com or by checking out some of the links on this blog…….’til the next time.
