Its not that hard to find success in internet network marketing if you duplicate what other successful marketers online are doing. But first we need to discuss what will cause you to fail.
If your goal is to make money using your computer and the internet than increase your chances of success by joining businesses that can be marketed globally. Although you will hear about how good compensations plan are don’t join a business based on how much you “think” you are going to get paid. Never rely on your upline to make you money. You will see programs that tell you to just get in and get paid… (THIS IS THE WORSE) you will never ever just get in and get paid.
In the olden days of direct marketing you use to have to ask your friends and family members to join your business. You use to have to attend local meetings. You use to have to cold call prospects. These are all things of the past.
There is certainly many people today struggling to market online. The reason for this is because they have been unwilling to do what it takes to create the atmosphere of success around them.
Internet Network Marketing Break Down!
Success in the “internet marketing industry requires that you understand basic marketing principles. Some of these principles are as follows.
Building a list – This is probably the most talked about subject in the internet marketing world and for good reason. The money ultimately is in your list. Unless you are using a autoresponder that will allow you to broadcast anytime you want and say what ever you want you are not building your own personal list.
Using squeeze pages -Â Squeeze pages are designed to offer free trial offers, free reports, free videos anything that will get a person to opt in to your list and want more information. Your squeeze page is just as important as building a list.
Knowledge Of How To Advertise -Â To be perfectly honest you can know ZERO about list building and creating squeeze pages if you know how to get traffic…..This makes sense but in application can very difficult. This is where lazy people loose all their money. Without proper advertising know how you may as well just give your money away because you can loose money faster than you can say OOPS!
There are 2 types of free advertising online. Quality targeted traffic and not so quality targeted traffic. Do you know why people fail more than they succeed online? The reason is because they spend way to much time going after traffic that is not interested in what they are selling.
Relationship Building -Â People do not like to buy from people they do not know or trust. The longer you avoid putting your videos online or starting a blog the longer it will be before you start getting looked at as someone who might actually be able to help… And to make money in the internet network marketing industry you need to be seen as an expert if you really expect to make any money at all.
Creating Your Image - This goes hand in hand with relationship building. To brand yourself online is not hard at all, people make it harder than it has to be.
Provide Value – I will take quality over quantity any day of the week. Your subscribers will also take the same. The more value you can provide the more success you will fine.
Leverage - The real “Secret” to success in the internet network marketing industry is being able to leverage the success of the people you work with to create your own success story. This is my secret to success.. When I first started in this industry I had no success at all. The best that I could do was use my “companies” lead capture pages. I got some sign ups but it was nothing to really talk about..
But I tried an experiment, Instead of talking about me , me, me I talked about the success my team was having. What was really great was my sponsor put a video on youtube that I could put on my OWN lead capture page. So I showed his video with my marketing message and my sign ups doubled. I ran with this and started promoting how our team was this that and another and you know what the sign ups kept pouring in. After about 3 months of seeing constant growth I stopped marketing my sponsor and started marketing me again but this time I had success I could talk about.
The advertising part of it never changed. What changed was I leveraged my team and their story to create my own and you know something it worked…
I did it again when I joined NPN, I leveraged my teams story with the added benefit of getting me as their sponsor and again the sign ups poured in.. My point here folks is don’t try to re-create the wheel , make the wheel better..
Here is the mistake to avoid at all cost - Until you have brought a few people into your business , DON”T market yourself——————> I know everyone including me tells you to brand yourself online. But this only works once you start the fire. Until you can tell someone YES I AM MAKING MONEY ONLINE BY DOING _____________ then you shouldn’t be marketing yourself. You should be focusing on what your entire team is doing for their downline. Chances are someone in your upline is having tremendous success, find out what they are doing and talk about it.
You will find the more you learn about your team and the strategies they use to build their business the more you will have to blog about and the more valuable content you can give your subscribers and the relationship between you and your subscriber begins.
I have met some really great people online because of Internet Network Marketing…
Everything you need to start branding yourself, create lead capture pages and build your own list you can get right now for dirt cheap… I would seriously take a look at it.. You will also gain the opportunity to work with me personal
The reality of the internet network marketing industry (The Home Business Niche) is people do not really know what they are selling.
Raise your hand if you had someone ever call you up and tell you they have been in the network marketing industry for 15 years and they have never seen a comp plan as good as the one they are telling you about now?
You will be told how they are having so much fun and are hardly doing anything at all. Often times they sound very sincere and very excited about their business opportunity.. In some circles this type of selling is called reversed marketing and many times they got your information because they received your advertising, on not so rare occasions they straight up spam you.
This is the worse type of marketing you can do. The reason is , if I was interested in the opportunity I would have certainly contacted them first. Personally I hate being sold…. BUTÂ I really do love to buy. Most people are like that. We spend our money on all types of things , but we hate people telling us what to buy.
Effective internet network marketing strategies will bring the prospect to you in one way shape or form. The idea of using the internet to market your business is to get prospects finding you through YOUR marketing efforts. This is why you will hear many good online marketers tell you they don’t cold call.
Not only do we not cold call anyone, we don’t ask family members or friends to join our business. We are even dare I say lazy… While being good at internet network marketing requires a lot of hard work and is very time consuming it is also very rewarding…
The internet is the ultimate leveraging tool. While it does take time to set up your business once you have the pieces all together most of the tedious stuff is put on automatic pilot. Once your business is up and running you really can work 15mins a day and take the rest of the day off.
Re-read what I just said. “Once your business is up and running you really can work 15mins a day and take the rest of the day off.”
Before you are totally set up you will put in a crazy amount of hours getting your business set up.
This is where 95% of hopeful home businesses owners get it all wrong. There are not really many differences between starting a business offline as it is starting online. Both require Knowledge, Money and Time.
The difference is you can realistically start your online business for under $1000 If that figure scares you imagine starting a business offline.. Consider having to spend $50,000 to get your business started.
When I started my online business, I had no on hand cash to start with, just a credit card and boy did I max that out pretty fast.
The reality is you really can start a profitable online business for under $300 and if you have patience and are willing to put in the work you could potentially start your business on a shoestring budget of $10 a month, however the trade off is you have to be willing to put 40 + hours a week into your business if you hope to get anywhere with it.
I can tell you a million and one stories how people fail online, but I can only tell you a handful of stories of people that are successful.
The #1 reason why people fail is because of lack of patience. It takes time to learn everything you need to know to become a competent internet network marketer. If you are only working your business 5 hours a week and are not spending any money in advertising don’t expect miracles.
Don’t look for a short cut because none exist I spent well over $80,000 looking for it myself. This is not like the movie field of dreams, just because you build it does not mean they will come. You have be an active participant in your business.
All the so called “guru’s” will tell you that they can show you their secret… They really don’t go into detail how much money they spent to figure out the “secret”
The real secret is there really is no secret, regardless how you get there in the end we are all doing the same thing.
This my friends is where finding a good mentor becomes very important. A good mentor can save you thousands of dollars in costly mistakes and they can help guide you in the steps YOU have to take if you are sincere about finding success online.
In the world of internet network marketing there is a term that is heard more and more. That term is “Attraction Marketing”.
Attraction marketing is certainly is another important skill for you to understand and master. Without the ability to brand who you are in the eyes of your prospects it will be very hard to convince them to join your business. Attraction marketing is also a key component to having a successful internet network marketing business.
The big question is how do you brand yourself and attract the right people to your business?
Here are some ideas for you to think about.
When ever you can give a testimony give one. But only consider giving a testimony if you know you are going to get a back link out of it.
Blogging is not only fun it is also profitable. If you are an internet network marketer a blog is the perfect tool to brand YOU in the eyes of your subscribers.
Social networks can also be very effective in attracting the right people to your business.
If we broke down the term internet network marketing. You would realize that success in the home based business niche comes down to your ability to master internet marketing skills and network marketing skills.
At the most basic level network marketing comes down to nothing more than sharing your business opportunity with other people. For countless thousands of people this has been very hard because historically you are told that you should ask your friends and family to join your business.
Even if you don’t mind doing that kinda thing you only have so many friends and family members to bother.
Success on the internet comes down to your ability to direct traffic and share your information and knowledge with others. 99% of the time we don’t even own any products ourselves that we sell we are “Affiliate Marketers”. Once you understand this fact you will be ready to make money online.
Attracting the right person to your business is a matter of you being able to sell yourself on what you are doing. Once you sell yourself it is easy to sell others.. Have you ever heard the saying “Become a product of the product”?
If you can do this it becomes easier to attract other like minded people.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: If you don’t believe in yourself nobody else will believe in you.
Step out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there. There are many many ways to get traffic to your website, learn as many as you can and share that information with everyone you talk to.. It’s priceless information.
Market products that have real value. Personally I like selling products that help people increase their business.
My success has come down to being able to help people avoid spending thousands of dollars in learning. The best thing I could have done for my internet network marketing business was to learn the many different ways to get traffic to my business and share that information with whoever joins my business.
The most important skill you can master is email marketing. 99% of your business is conducted through emails. So I thought I would give you some insight to how I effectively email market.
The mistake a lot of people make is they don’t realize they are loosing money by not effectively marketing to their list. You need to brand yourself in the eyes of your list subscribers. This is where having a blog and using youtube can be very effective.
Building a profitable list take times. You need to win over your prospects trust, this might take months and sometimes years. On more than one occasion I had subscribers that joined a business after being on my list for over 2 years.
If you want to get sign ups faster to your internet network marketing business, you will have to use things like, blogs, lead capture pages, video marketing…These help build credibility , it shows that you know how to utilize all the internet has to offer a marketer.
More often than not most people who will come visit you are newbies. After marketing for 8 years I still don’t know everything I am in a constant state of learning. The more “real” knowledge you have the more valuable you will be to someone.
That is why people who go around and talking about how great their comp plan is etc… Don’t usually get very far
Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have $100 from a 100 people or $1Â from 1,000,000?
Let Me ask you another question:
Do you think it is easier to sell something for $1 or $100
My point is that many people will try and sell you on how much money you can make.
Ofcourse I am sure everyone reading this would rather have a million dollars.
Utilize email marketing to its fullest potential, market products that have real value and your business will go far..
Using this strategy has been responsible for the growth of my internet network marketing business.
A new advertising source I have been using.
It’s effective and has a really good compensation plan on the back end..

Friends, Old School Network Marketing Is DEAD!
The internet is filled with people who would lead you to believe that if you just get into —>Insert program here<—- You are going to make money. You are told that if you just follow these simple directions you will start to seeing massive results..
“Logic and common sense would tell you that most claims are bogus.”
Money is not made over night. Yesterday I spoke to a gentleman , he was 87 years old, he told me he has been in the network marketing industry since amway in the 80’s…
He also went on to tell me that his program has the best compensation plan he has ever seen in 15 years…
This particular person got one of my emails with my skype information and sent me an instant message. He said in his message that he was interested in my business opportunity. He asked if he could call and get some more info. No problem I told him just give me a call, so he did. He started asking me if I had any success online.
Obviously I said if I didn’t you wouldn’t be talking to me right now. He paused for a moment and then hit me with his biz op.
His method of online marketing was to do what is called reverse marketing.
He just wanted to pitch me on his business.
Often times when you join a internet network marketing business (mlm) you are taught to sell the sizzle and not the steak–> meaning focus on selling the money and not the product.
I asked this guy if he was actually making money, it was at this point he explained to me that he has made a little bit of money but nothing to talk about. BUT HIS SPONSOR REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF AND I REALLY SHOULD DO A THREE WAY CALL WITH HIM.
As soon as he said that to me, that was an indicator that he himself did not know that much…..
Some advice: In all the years I have been marketing online I have never done a three-way call. If you want to be seen as the expert, if you want people to join you and trust you keep your upline out of it. As soon as you do a three-way call you are telling your prospect that you are inferior.
I have a confession – I am in it for the money, I only market online because it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my family. I learned years ago that the only valuable thing I could offer anyone online is my knowledge everything else is meaningless. People don’t really buy products , they buy other people.
People love to buy, if you spouse or friend told you about a really great product and how much they loved it and highly recommended it to you.
Chances are you would consider buying it or at the very least taking a good hard look at it.
If you hope to make more than $100 a year in your business you better start realizing here and now that its going to take more than just reverse marketing someone to make a living online. Its going to take more than just getting some traffic to your website.
I am sure even as you are reading this all you are interested in knowing is “how” to make money on the internet.
So if you ultimate goal is to supplement your income or leave your job then listen to what I am going to tell you next!
Your business will never take off until you start establishing real relationships with people.
Your business will never take off until you start doing what other successful marketers do.
That means learning how to create trust and establish credibility in you.
The businesses I am involved with can never make you money, only you can make you money.
You may be thinking geeze I am not going to do business with this guy listen to how negative he is. That is fine by me…
I know what I know and I have worked very hard for many years to learn how to make money online.
I have big news for you, if you are buying into that get rich quick scheme or that super uber compensation plan you are totally missing the boat you are buying into hype.
Selling the right products is very important, but not as important as you learning “how” to market.
It really did cost me thousands of dollars to learn what I know. I know for a fact unless you find someone to work with that can teach you , you will have to spend a lot of money to learn.
The secret to online success is being the person who can share that valuable information for free. (this means learning from someone who is willing to share it with you for free or spend thousands of dollars to find out for yourself.)
