Real MLM Secrets Revealed, 5 Secrets You Should Know
Welcome Fellow MLM'ers,
Today, I share MLM secrets revealed, 5 secrets you should know to prevent you from walking an extensive trail of tears. After months and months... or most truthfully...many years of battling in the trenches of MLM warfare, I realized:
Network Marketing Secret #1:
"My up-line was never going to tell me the truth about how he made it to the top." I knew from prior business ownership that growing a profitable organization had nothing to do with bombarding your friends and family, using 3-way calling or talking about duplication. Proper marketing of your business has nothing to do with using the latest hands-off digital marketing system, buying $3 opportunity-seeking leads, or using that goofy "3-foot rule". It is my sincere hope that these MLM secrets now revealed will lead you to question some of the things you're doing persistently, hoping to get different results. Einstein once said, "If you're doing the same thing repeatedly, but you're not getting different results you hoped for -- stop the insanity"!
Network Marketing Secret #2:
When I figured this out, I wanted to kick myself. Traditional marketing techniques are very effective and profitable. The reality is, most unfortunately, they're not so effective or (barely) profitable for you. The company and the up-line ARE THE ONLY beneficiaries of duplication, friends and family, and 3-way calling! Wow. What a realization. First, you have to know how to "put the numbers in your favor". Then, you need to learn how to "create the urgency to buy" so you can quit convincing and begging people. That's not what business has ever been about and that universal law isn't going to change. People buy the same way they always have -- okay -- except for shopping on the Internet now. That has changed the way people approach business, but their buying processes remain the same.
Network Marketing Secret #3:
"Product knowledge and mastering an MLM comp plan will not ensure you hit your mark in these programs, nor will it guarantee you're "duplicate-able". Networking any business correctly is about mastering your marketing and expanding your networks thoroughly. Successful business is about researching the needs of your audience, finding out what people want (rather than putting your head in the sand), asking them what they want, then delivering those results. Hit them at the time when the need is heaviest and bang! You've got it ! This marketing is never about forcing or cajoling but it is about helping people get what they need, when it's their idea. People don't like to be sold but they love to buy! There's a difference. This secret is about putting massive numbers in your favor.
Network Marketing Secret #4:
You must bring 3 key elements to the table, particularly if you expect success in the MLM industry. This is true for ANY business you're operating so this is no new wisdom here, but my point is that your challenge will be to shift your mindset in directions of becoming your own CEO. Once you figure out how this mindset works, you'll be unstoppable. It's hugely connected to motivating day-in and day-out as you're building exposure.
You must be willing to work,
You must have a "big reason why" you're in this business (or any other for that matter),
You must be trainable
And you must be willing to continually learn and grow. That's a given thing now-a-days.
Network Marketing Secret #5:
Most people spend themselves out of business before they've had a chance to succeed. I've seen more people put themselves out of business by spending their last nickel on every MLM flyer, handout, and DVD imaginable. Sure, these 'business builder tools' are handy, when you know hot to properly promote yourself (not the company). It's about creating messages people want to hear, based on their willingness to do so, not because you or your Grandma resorted to arm-twisting. If your ability to rethink how you're presenting yourself fails, heck, you might as well use these items as doorstops, or in the very least, find a way to turn this liability into a prevailing asset. There is a way, and it's totally on the level.
Now, it's true that you don't have to have a ton of cash to start your business, but you must think and behave using right-minded actions, reinvesting your earliest profits back into the business. This is about building yourself into greater equity. I would ask you to heed the remembrance that there's no such thing as F-R-E-E.
Bottom-Line Profits: Offering a Few Recommendations
Okay. Here's the bottom-line reality guiding real profits. I'll start by offering a few recommendations that have worked for significant others -- not just 1%.. I would choose the all-time favorite success secret, #4. It wins the day. This is about bringing those 3 key elements forth consistently and persistently. Your success will have virtually everything to do with learning and implementing proper marketing, positioning yourself ahead of others. If this is done correctly, you'll have prospects appearing in droves, knocking on your door in hundreds or even thousands, asking 2 simple questions...,
"What are you doing and how do I join you?"
To contact me personally, fill out your information located on the right-hand side of this blog. I screen all of my contacts carefully. Your information may be submitted in confidence. You won't be hounded by phone. I don't sell lists. Spammers get a few words of caution -- I don't do it nor should you. There are better ways. It's called 'getting rid of that awful home-based-business opportunity called filling out surveys or resorting to some God-awful Nigerian bank scam'. It's real. You'd think people would be saavy enough to spot this rotten egg.

Recession-Proof Your MLM Business
Belated Happy New Year to Fellow MLM'ers (and Affiliates too),
Today's post brings you well-wishes during these challenging economic times. Let's talk about adopting a powerful but positive mindset to focus on what you want most. Think about what you want, then set yourself on the path doing what's necessary. Don't put off what you can do today, even if it's the smallest baby step.
Good Economic News First
Did you know that there are people building massive empires online? It's true. These people are rising above the economic storm (rather than merely surviving it) but these people work diligently.
If you're okay with the idea that you absolutely can create your own business reality that's recession-proof:

If you're okay with the idea that you absolutely can create your own business reality that's recession-proof:
- What you persistently think and do brings forth new results
- Using Laws of Attraction and Abundance, you CAN draw people to you on the basis of matched needs and mindsets
- You will "magically" attract new information into your field of vision and discernable action
If something isn't working after giving it a reasonable chance for a reasonable period of time, the Universe will tell you that you may either need more information, need additional training, brush up on your recruiting skills or incorporate other tools into your networking toolbox
- Never give up
- E-retailing remains a bright spot in a dark economy!
Tough Economic News
Web sites that improve performance will continue to shine. By improved performance, I'm saying that businesses who make buying a happy process will be more sustainable than businesses failing to pay close attention to consumers' changing needs. Do you need your own website? There are ways to handle this challenge, assuming you're new online.
Here's what's important for now:
- You must always ask your clients what they need and want
- If people are dissatisfied, it's because they're telling you directly that something isn't working
- Never negate input from your downline or your product users
- Always ask people how you may improve on the delivery of your products or services
- Never assume your MLM will be the only company that satisfies your people

Will the Net Be An End-All-Be-All?
- Always work online processes with offline efforts
- Master your communications
- Remain open to new ways of learning
- Find accurate information -- this point is a big one
- Figure out what others are doing in your company -- this is also important for your own success!

What Is An RSS Feed?
Hello Fellow MLM'ers and Affiliates,
I'd like to share something that perplexed me when I began to work online. You know those finer "tekkie" points that snag newbies? Well, you know..., the big guys who've been doing this stuff for a while, it's no big deal to them.
But ask someone who's decided to work the business opportunity in an MLM (and they want to go online but might be forbidden to do so). They're caught learning a lot of stuff from scratch or they may be at the mercy of hunting and pecking for help (kinda like I was). Or ..., ask a new affiliate marketer to map out their first month of marketing activity! It's nearly impossible if you're starting your business from scratch.
So I'll cover a small point which confused me.
You'll see these everywhere.
RSS Feeds
What is this thing?
Ask a "tekkie" and they'll either tell you or they won't..., but let's hope they'll answer your question straight-up. If you've heard this saying before, there are no stupid questions but there can be poor answers. It's always up to a teacher, an upline or a mentor to make things clear.
By intuitive definition, here's what it is (so you can correct me if I'm still off-base):
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication", and it's used to describe a technology used in several formats but this technology creates feeds to help you follow news and other interesting tidbits. Now if that's still as clear as mud, an RSS feed can be understood by hitting your help function. If that doesn't work, a feed is a way to read content online without having to log back into a site or a blog. You can either track your own content or you can subscribe to someone else's feed. To do that, you just hit subscribe to feed...and wha-la! It pops up in your mailbox. You have to look at the column inside of your e-mail to read these feeds. I'm giving you the definition as I intuitively know it, without getting into precise terms.
Basically, feeds allow you to not only save time but they can simplify your online navigations.
What a Feed Can Do For You
It can help you connect things together. If you plan to create your own website or blog and more, the feed is one way of putting yourself out there (in cyberspace)...say..., in one fell swoop. But, it's also helpful when you want people to see what you're writing. Hope this makes a little bit of sense. If you're wondering how that's going to help you find more leads or close more folks, well...let's just say that everything I publish has a decent purpose.
