Your business will grow based on the level of influence you create. A perfect example of this are all the “network marketing Gurus” that have made their names via influence.
The reality is many of the people that are successful online got their starts by leeching other people’s influence.
There is nothing wrong with this practice, in fact if you haven’t had much success or any success this is something you need to understand. There are literally thousands of people online all trying to earn some money. The notion that if you join a huge heavy hitters business that you are going to make money. This mistake is played out over and over again almost daily.
The reality is a good sponsor can really only work with 20 people maybe 30 at the most on any given day. What do you think happens for 500+ people that join the heavy hitter?
What happens is that you end up an orphan, the heavy hitter really won’t spend any time with you, until you prove to them that you have something valuable to offer them.
The Solution: It isn’t as hard as you think it is to gain credibility online. In fact as long as you know more than the person you are promoting too you have credibility.
This is where Attraction Marketing comes into the picture. You will only attract people to your business that need your help. Meaning that the only people who will be remotely interested in your business is the person who is looking for more help than you.
This is where working with the right group of people is absolutely critical to your success. David Wood has a killer story about living in a van, which is entirely true.. It is also true he spent years learning how to be a good network marketer. It wasn’t an overnight success.
Most all successful people online have a great story of struggle and then success.. I joined the Empower Network because I seen just how influencial the people and the system are. I realized that, I needed to grab on and go for the ride.
I joined directly with David Wood, I have had only about 3 conversations with him. He hasn’t shared any wisdom with me. Hasn’t told me where I should market. Hasn’t even told me the secret to his success. The reason is because there isn’t a secret other than hard work.
What I did was actually buy his products and evaluate if the man is talking shit or if he is speaking truth.. I can tell you from first hand experience he is speaking the truth. This is how influence starts.
David Wood doesn’t have to sell anything anymore because his credibility is through the roof… I have been online now a long time so that makes me credible. But what about you? What makes you credible?
The Not So Secret Secret Revealed For The First Time Ever!! Okay Maybe Not But…
You can actually buy credibility and influence. Not directly but indirectly. A newbie (anyone who is making less than $500 a month) can actually position himself or herself with the right people that they can borrow the credibility and influence of the people around them.
This can be as simple as bringing a potential prospect into a group on facebook or inviting them to a team webinar. It some cases doing a 3-way call with their prospect.
We all get traffic the same way. The difference happens when it comes down to who is credible and who is not. Who has influence and who does not.
I am helping people every day understand how to get more prospects, more customers which ultimately leads to getting more money.

In a way, it’s good to know that you’re not getting any special treatment from David. What it means is that everything is already there in Empower Network – so they should join with the person who introduced them. Good luck with EN, your post always ring of truth.
Thanks Rich, I totally the right thing to do is join with a person you can work 1 on 1 with.. Working with people who already have a full plate is kinda useless.

Hi Mark, I agree with you first impressions are very important thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Sadly gaining credibility is not just down to seniority and experience. Over time you must continue to provide something of value to the online community without compromising you ethics.
This is true, I think many folks who have been marketing online, maintain their credibility.
As long as you keep learning and growing you have something valuable to add to the community at large..
