Most people fail because they either don’t understand one or more of these assets, or they don’t do consistent work and never reach that “tipping point” where it all falls together and begins to make them a steadily growing income.

Your Online Business Assets

1. Your Website

A website that ranks on search engines in one of the most important assets you can have.  If you are relying on affiliate marketing and marketing other people’s sites you are being very short sighted.  You can earn money in the short term, but just like in a job you are really only working to build someone else’s site and help them in their business.

It can be incredibly easy to get a simple blog going, and from there you only need to be updating your blog and building links to it.  The easiest way to get a blog going is to get it done for you so it will be fully optimized for search engine ranking and for viral social media marketings (the best and cheapest option I can recommend is Empower Network, you can get your blog instantly setup with them: Here).

How to build this asset: Keep updating your blog, and build links back to your articles.  You can do this through social media, pinging and article directories (full details in the Rebel Marketers Manual, you can pick up your free copy to the right of this page).

2. Your List

People buy from those they know, like and trust.  This means that people need to get to know you before they will buy from you.  It is vital that you are growing a list of people that have asked to hear more from you. You can grow your list both organically, through your blog and your search engine traffic, and via paid advertising.  My favourite list building technique is solo ads.  You can pay someone else to promote you and your products to their list.

3. Your Social Media Contacts

Your friends list on Facebook and followers on Twitter are fast becoming as important to your business as your email marketing lists.  This is because these people not only get to hear about your new articles and websites, they also get to see your pictures, here about your family, and generally get to know you as a real person.  It’s VITAL that you treat your Facebook and Twitter contacts as real friends, not leads.  It turns out that this also makes things a lot more fun as you really get to know people when you stop seeing little dollar signs on everyone!

Build your social media contacts slowly.  I recommend spending 30 minutes a day adding a few more people to your list, and making personal contact to say hi and introduce yourself.  Remember this is about building a business asset, not making a quick buck.  So don’t throw your links around the second you get a new friend on your list.  Say hi, and get to know them.

4. Your Relationship with Your List

This is as important as the list itself and takes time to grow.  You need to think about what your list is getting from you.  Are they getting hammered with marketing emails, or are they getting solid information that they can use without having to buy all your products from day one? Are they getting to see that you are a real person, through your personal stories and posts?

One of the best ways to build a solid relationship with your list is to not rely too heavily on autoresponders, but use blog posts to communicate with them.  That way your list can get short, non-markety emails from you telling them you have a new blog post.  When they get good information from your blog posts it will make them more likely to open your emails and they will like you better for it.

5. Your Skills

This is the most overlooked asset in online business, yet it is VITAL.  You need skills in copywriting, sales funnels, link building, article writing, etc. The good thing is the more consistently you work and test the better and better you will get at it all. Just like any skill or learning a sport you need to exercise and practice to get better.  A great way to build this is to leverage the skills of others while you are practicing and improving your own skills.  This video will show you the best way to leverage other people skills while growing your own: Click Here.

Remember, every single thing you do in your business should be around building one of these assets.  So when you sit down to write a blog decide if you are going to write a relationship building blog or a link building blog.  When you pay for traffic, monitor your conversion rates (from visitors to opt-ins) to ensure you are getting the lowest price for new list member.  When you visit Facebook, think about adding new people that seem like someone you would actually want to do business with.

Consistency is key. Do consistent work DAILY to build up these assets, and you can’t go wrong.  Make sure that people have the opportunity to buy from you, without shoving it in their face.

If you want more details on HOW to build these assets and create a solid internet income through simple daily work (about 1-2 hours per day) read the Rebel Marketers Manual (sign up to the right of this page).

I’ve been awfully quiet.

As a writer and marketer I actually love my work and love my blog.  I really enjoy contributing to it and believe in the power of consistent action to make things happen in any business.

So what happened to make me so quiet?

It started with a vision.

I had to take some time and think about the industry we are all in (making money online) and why not everyone achieves the same amount of success.

I’ve always felt that people need to take responsibility for their own actions and their own success.  So I simply show them HOW I achieve my results and let them take the action from there.  But there is still a learning curve.  It’s different for everyone, but no matter how much How To I give my teams people still have to learn some new skills to become successful.

How long does this take?

That depends on the person.  For me it took me 2 years of struggling until I found a way to stay consistent in my action and actually get the results I wanted.

It doesn’t have to take that long.  One of my biggest problems was actually my ego

You see I tend to think of myself as a pretty smart lady.  So when confronted with a problem I try to learn my way through it and pick up any of the skills I think I will need in order to get through the problem.

I have had to learn FTP, some HTML, copywriting, backlinking, how Google thinks, how to run a blog, how to connect my blog through social networks, etc.

And in all this going it alone and learning I actually was shackling myself to poor results.  I was taking so much time and energy to learn technical garbage that I wasn’t putting 100% of my attention on building my business and helping my team.

Things shifted for me when I realized that I don’t have to have minute control over every aspect of my business and that I could leverage the skills of others to grow my business and help my team.

And I could use all the knowledge I have gained as leverage for my team to see results exponentially faster than I did.

Those two years of my time can help an infinite number of people not have to go through the pains of struggle that I did.

My new vision is a way to help people use everything that I have learned about making money online and giving them (yes, giving as in for free) actual tools to help them market and build teams, and help their teams market and build teams.

We’re talking about building a community of SUCCESSFUL internet marketers so you aren’t just being told what to do, but getting actual tangible products you can use in your marketing…

*Because you are not going to settle for Bad Leadership

*Because you are not going to struggle to learn skills that your leaders ALREADY HAVE

*Because you shouldn’t have to pay extra to get tangible help from your leaders!

*Because you deserve to have REAL success without struggle!

So what is my vision?

Well, you’ll have to wait and see!

I’m making sure I have everything perfect and ready to go for you, so you can hit the ground running.

Does this scene feel familiar?

You’re sitting at your computer, working on advertising for your business. There is that phone call you need to make to a new prospect, or that video email you promised yourself you would create.

Instead, you find yourself glued to your chair, preferring to keep on doing the activity you already know how to do, rather than tackling the new one.  There is a subtle or not so subtle fear that creeps in every time you think about doing it.  You convince yourself that this preferred activity is important, that you are conscientiously working on your business.  But you’re not fooling anyone, least of all yourself.

This is a trap we all face – one we need to recognize and deal with if we want to actually move our business forward. We have to learn how to help ourselves move out of our comfort zone.

The first thing to remember is that the act of creating a business by its very nature means that you will be constantly moving out of your comfort zone.  You will step into new territory, become comfortable, then step out again.  Over and over.  And this is not just you – everyone who has made the journey to success in a home business has done the same, and faces the same fears that you do.

So, during your working hours, stop every once in a while and ask yourself, “Is there something important I need to be doing, that I am putting off?”  If the answer is yes, then notice how you are feeling, and look for the cause for the delay.  If there is no real reason for not doing it, maybe this is a step into new territory, and you are nervous or afraid to step out.

It’s important to actually notice when you are are feeling fear of something new, because it is only when you notice that you can take steps to deal with it.

Okay, so you’ve discovered that the next important task in your business is not getting done because your are not comfortable doing it, you are afraid to try it, you’re afraid you’ll blow it.  Great – now at least this fear is not flying under the radar, and you have the opportunity to make a different decision about it.

Talk to yourself about your fear.  Be kind, be firm.  Give yourself permission to blow it.  Give yourself a reward for trying.  Remind yourself that that unaddressed fear is sapping your energy, and it is far better to give the task a good try, no matter the result, than to be drained by fear of doing it.

And, most important, remind yourself that you do not need to do this task perfectly – you are learning!

To Your Success!

How to Become An MLM Leader

1. Learning

Every true MLM leader started out exactly where you are, knowing very little about how to achieve success.  To really become a leader you will need to start by learning whatever you can about the MLM industry.  This doesn’t have to mean buying courses and training (although that is the fast-track way to do it!)  Instead you can simply read MLM blogs, watch free MLM training videos, go through MLM bootcamps.  Do your best to learn one new specific skill every single day.  It could be on how to handle objections, how to market, how to setup a blog, etc.

You will quickly have something that other people don’t have, knowledge.  You then simply have to share this knowledge and new people in the industry will see that you are a true leader.  You don’t need to know everything to be a success, you just need to always continue on in the pursuit of knowledge.

2. Honesty

Anyone who has built a large organisation through lying about what it takes to succeed will have their business crumble underneath them.  Why?  Because if people have misconceptions about what it takes to succeed they won’t be prepared to put in the work necessary.  This is why I have made an MLM bootcamp.  I show people EXACTLY what they would need to do to be successful in MLM.  If they don’t think they can do it, they don’t join with me, if they know they can put in even just an hour a day, they know before they join exactly what they will need to do.  This means they hit the ground running when they start and will stand a much better chance at success!!

3. Consistency

Consistent and daily work is VITAL to becoming an MLM leader.  It doesn’t mean spending every spare moment on your business, but you need to be doing something daily to reach your goals.  If you choose to start an MLM blog the easiest thing to do is write and syndicate a blog post every day.  This will both allow your leads to see you are a leader, and they will see you are actually active!  It also means that over time you will rank more easily on Google and your marketing efforts will reach a tipping point where marketing becomes easy.  BUT you have to start with daily consistent work to get anywhere.

4. Assistance

When you work to actually assist others in their success without looking for anything in return, you will be a true MLM leader.  There is nothing more attractive then someone who genuinely wants to help and isn’t always trying to sell you something.  That’s why offering free training is one of the best things you can do to establish yourself as a leader.  For example, my bootcamp will teach ANYONE how to get leads and create a high traffic blog for their MLM.  Every person who goes through it will have the chance to see what MLM company I have chosen and some will want to partner with me because of my leadership, other people will take the information and become a success in their own business.

When you get to a place where you are prepared to help others without them being in your team (by offering a free training, etc.)  you will have truly become an MLM leader and your success is virtually guaranteed.

The Three Traps to Avoid When Starting Your MLM Home Business

1. The “Overnight” Success Story Trap

You need to be sure you don’t have your “lifestyle” goggles on when you start your MLM home business.  The biggest trap is having the wrong expectations for how long it will take and the amount of work it will take to become a success.

You will need to pay for your success with either time or money.  If you have a bunch of money you can buy loads of paid advertising and become successful quickly.  If you don’t you will need to commit a solid amount of time to free advertising, calling your leads, and building your business.

If you follow a good strategy (I recommend the Easy MLM strategy), it will probably realistically take you 1-2 hours a day every single day for about 3-6 months to build a decent income.

2. The Trying a Little Bit of Everything Trap

Slap-dash marketing is a trap nearly all MLM home business owners fall into!  If you try a little bit of everything you tend to lose your money FAST as you don’t know how to properly market.  For example, you might try some Facebook marketing, combined with PPC, combined with article marketing, etc.  A bit of focused effort on ONE type of marketing will practically guarantee your success as you will become better and better at it as you learn.

When I started in this industry I spent months trying a little bit of everything and getting NO results from anything!  It was only after I dedicated myself to learning how to get leads from article marketing that I started to see decent results!  Now I also have a strategy to train my team on!

Be a specialist! Not a “jack of all trades”.

3. The Cashflow Trap

If you run out of money to advertise or promote your MLM home business you are dead in the water!  No cashflow basically means No business!

The easy solution to this trap is to create multiple streams of income as you work to build your MLM.  Be realistic and understand that it will take time to grow your business (especially as MLM’s grow slowly at the start until you reach the tipping point where your results become exponential!)

You can create multiple streams of income by providing tools and resources to your leads that can actually help them to learn how to make money from home even if they don’t join your business!  This way your leads will view you as someone who is actually helpful and would make a great leader for them if they do decide to join your MLM home business, and you will earn some money to keep marketing.

Try to find a tool that will solve some specific problem your leads are having.  For example, my leads are often interested in how to start their own blogs.  I use the how to blog tutorial to not only teach them, but to earn commissions if they decide to buy hosting to get started!  I also show them an option that involves no set-up, no hosting, and is easier to rank in Google (decide if it’s an option you want to promote to your leads by discovering it here).

Note: ONLY market a product if you’ve tried it and like it yourself.  If you don’t use it, don’t market it! You’ll only alienate your leads and lose their trust if you sell them crappy products.

How to Avoid the MLM Home Business Pitfalls?

You will need to leverage your efforts and get making money as fast as you can in your MLM home business.  You can do that by finding a decent strategy that an MLM leader is using.  Then you simply “follow the leader”.  Learn the strategy and implement it over and over until you get good at it.  Get some cashflow into your business so that you can STAY in business for the 3-6 months it will take for you to start seeing real success in your MLM home business.

Empower Network Reviews: How Does It Work?

If you’ve spent any time marketing online at all you understand that Blogging is THE BEST way to grow traffic, build a list, and make money online.  However, most people don’t know how to set up a blog, create converting capture pages, add plugins that help your blog rank, and drive traffic to that blog!

Empower Network basically removes the “technical set-up” stumbling block that plagues most newby marketers and causes them to fail.  Once you’re logged into your system you start writing articles, that’s it!  NO SET-UP!

If you’re a more experienced marketer you have the option to change things around a bit, but GET THIS: This blog was set-up by THE TOP blogger in the network marketing industry, using the tools, systems, and images that work to generate him A MINIMUM of $2000 every single day.  Don’t change it unless you know you’re getting great results already with what you’re doing.  You can preview the EXACT blog you will have access to by reading this Empower Network Review on my Empower blog.

You will be able to drive traffic both to your blog and lead capture pages.  Once you’ve generated leads and members you will be able to market your primary business opportunity on the back end.

Note: The more you help your team make money, the longer they stick around, and the more likely they are to want to join your network marketing business to get even more coaching and training from YOU!

Empower Network Reviews: What Else Will I Need?

1. You need a way to get paid!  There are two options for this:

For Americans: First Data will help you set up a merchant account, this way when someone buys anything from Empower Network through your links they are depositing money directly to your bank account from their credit card!!  Empower has set up a special service with First Data so that even people with poor credit ratings can get approved FAST.

For Internationals: Empower Network now also allows you to use Alert Pay to receive your commissions!  There are full instructions how to set this up in the Empower back office.

2. You will want to consider an autoresponder

Empower has a built in autoresponder if you don’t have your own.  However, it’s a good idea to consider setting up your own autoresponder so that you 100% own your list!  When marketing online a big focus should be on growing your list and communicating with them.

Aweber has a $1 trial for the first month, and then is only $20 a month after that.

Empower Network Reviews: How Do I Earn 100% Commissions?

Everything product you purchase through Empower Network gives you RESELL RIGHTS.  This is how you earn the 100% commissions.  You don’t need to figure out how to sell the products or learn copywriting, it is all done for you through the system.

For example, if you use the Empower Network Marketing system you will pay only $25 a month.  When you show someone else the system and they see the power of an immediate viral blogging system done for you, they will purchase it at $25 a month and the money they pay goes straight into your bank account through your merchant account.

Empower Network Reviews: How Do I Earn Residual Income?

Your income becomes residual in two ways with Empower Network:

1. Monthly ongoing charges – Anyone you refer who pays you the first monthly fee, will continue to pay you automatically each and every month they stay with the system.  As so many people get the system paid for by referring just one person in,  Empower Network is set to have some of the highest retention rates ever seen.

2. Pay-ups From Your Members – Your members will pass up their second, fourth, sixth, and then every fifth sale to you.  This is built in to encourage sponsors to HELP their team members, not compete with them!!  Remember it’s 100% commission paid to only one person.  The system will automatically charge the customer to your merchant account when a sale is passed up to you.  You also get pay-ups if someone buys something through your team members that they don’t own! For example, if you have a team member who isn’t paying their $25 a month, when someone orders through them YOU GET THE MONEY…100%…DIRECT TO YOUR BANK!

Empower Network Reviews: What’s In It For The Founders (How Can They Give 100% Commissions And STILL Make A Fortune)?

David Wood and David Sharpe are not new to the industry.  They both stand to make a ton of money from the system simply from those people they refer!  Why offer it at 100% commission??  Because they need a team of people getting cashflow into their businesses, so that they stay in Dave and Dave’s downlines in their network marketing company.  Also, they DO make a ton of money daily, and they genuinely want to see more people become successful to uplift the network marketing industry as a whole!

Primarily this system is designed so that more people can become successful in network marketing through easier set-up, faster marketing, and MORE CASHFLOW.

When Dave and Dave refer new people into their respective MLM companies, they will have a marketing system that allows their people to become successful FAST meaning their downlines will be growing faster, stronger, with higher retention rates.

The Empower Network is uplifting the entire industry.  Finally everyone has a chance to be on the same playing field.  Regular people can make guru money by getting 100% commissions direct to their bank account, instead of waiting 4 weeks for a small check to finally arrive at their door.

Stop looking for Empower Network Reviews and Make the decision to start earning 100% commissions direct to your bank account today!

To Your EASY Success!

If you’re focusing your efforts ONLY on growing your business through MLM recruiting and you aren’t putting any thought into your MLM retention rates then you’re doomed to failure from the start.  Anyone who only wants to focus on growth and isn’t prepared to help others become successful should go into a different field.

MLM retention is the key to a residual income.

All of the effort you put into recruiting someone isn’t worth it if they turn around two months later and quit your team.  You need to find a way to get people to stay in your team, and the real secret to getting them to stay is making sure they achieve some success as fast and easily as possible!  This doesn’t mean that they need to be in profit in the first 30-60 days, but they do need to have made one or two sales.

3 Strategies to Improve Your MLM Retention

1. Step by Step Approach

If you want high MLM retention rates you need to always make the next step clear to your new recruits!  You don’t want them to lose the momentum and excitement of signing up by simply not knowing what to do next.  A great way to do this is to supply a “Fast start” guide that tells them exactly what they need to set up and a strict timeline for doing so.  You will want all their systems and technical set-up completed in the first week.

The easier you make the first steps the better your overall MLM retention rate will be!  For example, my team uses a team blog for our content marketing which allows everyone to easily rank on the front page of Google as they are using the power of an established high-traffic site without having to build one themselves.  This means they simply have to insert their link into their articles and get marketing. (You can see an example of the presentation the team is all able to use by clicking HERE.)

Make steps that help people get wins under their belt fast!

2. Get Them Plugged into a System

Everyone is different and will have different skills, training, and capabilities.  Using a good marketing system levels the playing field for your entire team.  You won’t have to try to teach other people with different abilities if you plug them into a system that trains them for you and that allows them to pursue their own interest.

Let me let you in on a little secret here:

MLM retention is not about duplication!

You want people to have the same results as you, but not become you.  Not everyone can use the same marketing strategies.  They will need to find their own way.  But you don’t want people to wander off trying to find the right training. Plug them into a system that will train them, provide them EASY to use capture pages and copywriting, etc.  This way you know the system will train them and you simply have to keep connecting and ensuring that they aren’t feeling overwhelmed. (You can see a review of the top network marketing system here: My Lead System Pro Review)

3. Get them to Work for Your Help

Always be there for your team, without becoming their slave! A great way to do this is to get them to do something to earn your assistance.  Be willing to answer questions, but make it clear that you will help them more and more if they step up as a leader and take action to get results!

A great example of this is leads.  I’ve seen MLM leaders give leads to their team only to have the leads go uncalled because the team member was afraid and didn’t value the lead!  Tell your team members you will give them some of your leads to call ONLY after they’ve generated 1-5 of their own.  When they can come to you saying they’ve generated X number of leads and made X number of calls, start giving them some of your own leads to call.  This motivates them to step up and prove themselves to be a leader so they can get more of your help!

Give everyone the same opportunity to succeed, set them up for success and see the leaders float to the top.  Give them a fast start guide to make sure they’re moving forward, get them in a great network marketing system so they can learn the skills they need to market, and then help those who help themselves!

Remember MLM retention does not come from hand-holding your team or from harrassing them, it comes from fostering leadership and action!

The definition of a Sponsor is: A person or organization that provides funds or support for a project or activity carried out by another, in particular.

What does this mean in relation to MLM sponsoring?  YOU need to provide the support and training for everyone in your team to create results.  Being an MLM sponsor is not about collecting someone’s money and then leaving them to fail!  It’s about helping others to be successful, and receiving the benefits of their success through your commissions.

This means focusing your MLM sponsoring on leaders. Trying to find people that are prepared to follow your advice and help and that are hungry for success.

A lot of MLMers start out simply trying to get anyone and everyone into their business.  While they are sometimes successful for a short time, they don’t tend to be successful in the long run.

MLM Sponsoring Done Wrong Will Kill Your Business

The “trying to sell” and say the perfect thing to get people to join will actually damage you in the long run for two reasons:

1. You will be tempted to say what people want to hear!

This means you might not be entirely open about what it takes to be successful.  You might start telling people it’s easy and they will be a success overnight, when that’s typically not the case!  People will be less likely to join if it sounds too good to be true, and those that do join will have unrealistic expectations.  So they won’t want to do the work or spend the time it takes to build a solid business.

2. You will sound unsuccessful. 

If you sound super excited, or go into sales mode people smell desperation.  This is when people start to wonder if you will actually be able to help them.  Even if they are excited about the business they are unlikely to join with you if they think you can’t help them.

Effective MLM Sponsoring

1. Be brutally honest!

You want to work with people that will WORK HARD!  You really don’t want to end up with a team of people that do nothing and then sit around and expect you to pull them along.  The more determined your entire team is to reach success the more quickly it will happen.  You will only find these people through honesty.  People that have a dream and are prepared to work for it usually just don’t know HOW to market.  They will actually appreciate someone who will say “It takes 1-2 hours every single day for 3 to 6 months to START to see good results.”

Most people want to hear that it will be fast (and you should try to get your people making sales fast), but they need to have a realistic idea of how long a full time income will take to build up or they wont be prepared to do the work.

2.  Tell People HOW to market

Your MLM sponsoring will become easier and easier if people can see what type of training you will be able to provide before they join you.  This is really easy to do if you use article marketing or some content marketing that allows them to see some specific marketing advice.  Again if you stick to the “how” and are realistic about what it will take you’ll attract people who are PREPARED TO DO IT!

Make your primary strategy really open and obvious!  For example, anyone signing up as a lead for my business would expect me to teach them article or content marketing because that is what I do and it’s what I write about ALL THE TIME!  They’ve gotten great tips about content marketing from me that actually work, so it helps them realize that if they want to partner with me directly in my MLM company they will get hands on help from someone who actually knows how to do content marketing!

3. Detach from the Outcome

This is that hardest part of MLM sponsoring.  If you desperately want everyone to join you will start trying to talk them into it!!  So you need to tell yourself that it doesn’t matter if this person joins or not.  There are two things that will help you do this:

• A great company presentation! People have no idea how important this is, but a really good company presentation will sell people for you. They will get on the phone asking you “how” questions not “why” they should join.  (You can watch the company presentation used by the biggest team in my company to see how to set up a great presentation and how to use Facebook for recruiting: Click here and Hit approve)
• A mantra.  This is a funny one, but find some phrase that helps you detach from the outcome of a call.  I like to tell myself that each phone call or interested person brings me one step closer to the next big leader in my team.  So I’m happy making my calls that, that leader is getting closer, but I’m not attached to it being the person I’m about to call!

These tips can turn around your MLM sponsoring.  When you are genuinely looking for leaders and trying to put off anyone that’s not ready to knock it out of the park people can tell.  They will want you to see something special in them and they will want to do the work to prove their leadership right away.

Help your leaders get started quickly with their own MLM sponsoring and watch your team grow big and fast!

Countless people join network marketing businesses everyday, yet it’s still an industry that has a bit of a rocky reputation.  Many people are scared to tell their family and friends that they have joined an MLM or network marketing business because they simply don’t want to be judged.  Or they don’t want to hear the dreaded words, “Isn’t that a pyramid scheme?”

If you are too scared to tell your family you’re in network marketing you don’t have confidence in the business, and if you don’t have confidence in the business you are much more likely to fail!  You need to know 100% that you’ve joined an excellent company in an excellent industry if you’re going to stand a chance of getting other’s to join you.

Come out of the Network marketing closet!

I used to tell friends and family that I was working on a “business”, but would never tell them what it was.  This kept me feeling like I was doing something immoral or wrong, and made them think I was being a bit secretive.

Once you start to tell people, it’s fantastic!  It will boost your belief in what you are doing, your confidence in yourself, and your enthusiasm for your business.  And who knows, maybe the enthusiasm will catch and your friends and family will want to join you!

Tips for Telling People You’ve Started a Network Marketing Business

1. “Isn’t that a pyramid scheme?”

Don’t be offended by this question… many people are actually completely uneducated when it comes to home businesses.  I simply say, “Pyramid schemes are simply people passing money around in exchange for a spot on the pyramid, when it collapses the people at the bottom make nothing.  In network marketing you are selling products for a company and teaching others how to do the same.  People only make money by actually selling something.”

Don’t go into details about how this works or fast start bonuses, leader pools, etc.  Keep it simple and people always get it: Pyramid=money for nothing, network marketing=direct sales of PRODUCTS.

2. Don’t view friends and family as prospects!

You will feel 100% more comfortable with talking about your business if you aren’t trying to sell it to anyone.  Your friends will pick up on it if you start trying to sell them your business.  Make a rule with yourself that if someone says they WANT to learn more about it, send them to an online presentation or get them to talk to your upline.  This will stop you from pushing them or putting a strain on your friendship.  If you urge them into it and they fail, you will feel terrible.  If they’ve made the decision 100% themselves you won’t feel responsible, except as their upline for training.

I explain my business to friends and family because they want to know what I do, NOT because I want to sell it to them.

3. The Soft Approach

Sometimes it’s easier not to announce your new network marketing business in person.  A bunch of negativity and questions can derail you.  Let people know via email or a Facebook update.  DON’T put a link to your site, if someone’s interested they will tell you.  Just tell people you’re excited about starting your new venture in the xxx industry (health, weight loss, education, etc).  You don’t even need to say network marketing, they can discover that later.

4. What to Do If They’re Negative?

Some people just won’t like it no matter what way you tell them!  Why??  Because you’re bucking the system! Most people seem to want everyone else to stay as miserable they are and secretly get jealous of those who are living their life on their own terms.  Don’t let these people drag you down.  And it could be anybody friends, family, partner, etc.

First, recognize that they don’t know more about the business than you do, they probably know less.  This means that you can discount their negativity as simply an OPINION.

Second, ask them not to talk about it.  If they don’t think you should be in business tell them you’ve already made the decision to join, so at this point you need to move forward.  Tell them that if they aren’t going to support you, you would rather talk about other things.

Third, get involved with members of your community who “get” what you are doing! Make some new friends, chat and ask questions online, etc.  Having a community behind you will be amazing for boosting confidence, and watching other people become successful will help you boost your belief.

Finally, READ!  I honestly think reading the right books is the solution to most people’s problems.  Read books about success by successful people and it will help you see yourself as a success.  You will know that you are on the path to greatness and the naysayers are just part of your success story.  When someone gets in your head putting down Network Marketing read Robert Kiyosaki’s book “The Business of the 21st Century“.  It will completely renew your faith!

The support and help of your family and friends could be invaluable to your business, but the most important thing is feeling like you are doing something worthwhile and admirable.  Tell your friends and family your goals so that you are more likely to stick to them and update them with how you are doing.  It’s INCREDIBLE how motivating the support and expectations of your loved ones is.  I find the more people I tell the more I push myself to succeed and do them proud .

Entrepreneurship is all about learning new skills and getting uncomfortable.  Take the first leap by coming out of the network marketing closet!!
