The reason why most of us get into network marketing is to make money. If you ask,most people will immediately respond, “for the money!” However, this is not the real reason. No one subjects them to the hard work of building a business just for the money. The truth is you work in order to obtain what the money will do for you.
The first thing you need to do is to find the reason WHY you are a network marketer. Is it the freedom to choose whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it? Maybe you are looking for a different lifestyle. If there is one thing that is critical to your network marketing success, this is it. If you don’t have a reason, there is no motivation to succeed.
A network marketing business is a teaching and coaching business. If you don’t like interaction with other people, a network marketing business probably is not for you. There’s a concept that most network marketers just can’t seem to get a handle on. You do not sponsor “reps,” you sponsor “people!”
If you have to find a reason why you are building your business, then doesn’t it stand to reason that other people will have to do the same thing? If that’s the case, then why is it that network marketers continually focus on how much money your prospect can earn?
There’s no way you are going to convince “Joe Williams,” to get out of his Lazyboy recliner unless you find out what his motivation is. Most network marketers literally pound in the amount of money Joe can earn. They bombard him with message after message about how “Successful Sam” has just purchased his 10th Porsche, refurnished his 25,000 square foot cottage and promise Joe that he can do the same!
Just how realistic is this approach? Joe isn’t stupid. He works long, hard hours at his job in order to provide for his family and truly believes that the best thing he can hope for is saving enough money by summer to pay for a camping trip. Then here you come, promising Joe that he can have everything that Sam has and he can have it if he will just sign that piece of paper making you his sponsor! You will probably sponsor a few people that way, but if you are in business for the long haul you need to change your approach and do it fast.
The proper approach is so simple, but in your rush to sponsor another “rep” instead of helping another person, all too often you talk yourself into and straight out of sponsoring the Joes of the world.
God gave you two ears and one mouth and he did it for a reason. We are supposed to “listen” twice as much as we “speak.”
Instead of pouncing on Joe with the latest and greatest network marketing program of all time, find out what Joe wants and needs. Ask him questions, lots of questions. In fact, in your first meeting with Joe, don’t even mention your business! Yes, that’s what I said. Don’t even bring it up. Remove yourself from
the super duper network marketing persona and spend time making a new friend.
Follow these recommendations and you are set to grow your business exponentially.

Marketing Your Home Business on the Web
No matter what industry your home based business represents, no matter how local the product, or whether you have a brick and mortar location, you must be prepared to establish and maintain a business Web site and to use Internet marketing to bring consumers to your virtual and actual door. Affiliate marketing is another handy tool to grow your home business as well.
There are many methods of Internet marketing that can help your home based business grow. Affiliate marketing, for example, lets you team up with other home based or office-based businesses big and small. The concept of affiliate marketing is the old tried and true “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” concept. Your home business can benefit from affiliate marketing in two ways.
The first idea is that you pair up with a company whose product or service is related but not competitive and agree to advertise its logo, brand, product, service or some sort of promotional venture on your own site. This marketing is hyperlinked and when consumers come to your site, see your affiliate’s advertisement and click on it to go to the affiliate’s own site your affiliate pays you. The reverse can be true as well. Your company can add its own graphic, brand, logo and promotional message on the site of your affiliate and drive traffic and additional revenue to your own site.
The trick with the affiliate marketing method of Internet marketing your home business is that you choose the right affiliates. Trading up is always good. In other words, affiliating with a site whose brand is better known than yours, and whose traffic exceeds yours is a positive thing as long as you don’t pay through the nose for the opportunity.
You also want to make sure the affiliation makes sense and doesn’t create competition for your home business. If you sell gift baskets you wouldn’t want to affiliate with 1-800-Flowers. Many might visit that site and abandon your products. Affiliating with a greeting card company might be a good fit, however. If they’re buying your products they might well want a card to accompany the gift.
Other Internet marketing options that work for driving consumers to your business are search engine optimization and article writing. Search engine optimization is the use of keywords and meta tags, or payments to the search engine to guarantee that your firm appears early in any search engine results display. Article writing lets you get your name before consumers as the expert in your industry and the article bio will hyperlink consumers back to your own site.

Affiliate Marketing Do's and Don'ts
The popularity of affiliate marketing is on the rise and many people with absolutely no marketing or home business experience are getting in on it. New affiliate programs are popping up daily. It can be overwhelming and it is easy to jump into programs that sound great and offer instant money with little or no time requirement. So what should you do, or not do for that matter?
Do your research. Read the Ripoff Report and the Scam Report. Before you pay someone $47 or $97 (the typical prices), do your homework. Do a Google search on the names that are associated with these programs to find out more because people have blogs and articles where they mention programs that have ripped them off.
Do visit marketing and business forums. This is probably the most effective way to learn from others who are succeeding in business. I read and post to forums daily and have learned about everything from how to write an article to the best advertising methods and many things in between. Just do another google search on business and marketing forums and register and start reading. Try to allocate some time each day for this and you will be amazed at how much insight you will gain.
Do talk to people in this business. On many forums, you have access to send a personal message to someone whose ideas and comments interest you. I have emailed several people who were willing to speak to me and it was so informative.
Don’t join too many programs at once. Just stick to that program and learn it inside, outside and upside down. In the beginning, it really does not make sense to overextend. There is too much information to absorb, especially if you are new, and it may cause you to give up too soon.
Don’t think that you are going to find success right away. It just does not happen in reality. Do not be discouraged if you are not seeing your PayPal account grow in a week or in a month. Take a reality check. There are millions of people out there selling and many will have more experience than you. The key is that many of them started as beginners too. It takes time and that is all there is to it.
Follow the do’s and do not do the don’ts and you will be closer to that goal of having a successful home based business.

MLM Training - How Do I Motivate My Team
Having been successful in MLM for a decade we find it interesting that we get the same questions over and over again. One of the most common questions we hear is "How do I motivate my team?"
When you realize that people in the masses are predictable, you'll find it easier to have success in MLM. The best MLM training cannot overcome people that have low self esteem or those who lack vision.
Amazingly, a large number of people have those two characteristics and there is very little we're going to be able to do to help them.
Give them a copy of the classic Napoleon Hill book "Think and Grow Rich" and suggest that they read it from cover to cover, but do not waste a lot of time with people that suffer from low self esteem. If you are an MLM newbie you'll probably be tempted to try desperately to save the world. That's what we did when we first got started, and it nearly led to what seemed to be an obvious conclusion, MLM doesn't work. Well it does work, but when you try to save everybody you might find it hard to believe.
When you try to save the world you become frustrated every time somebody fails. You start to play the "if only" blame game. If only I had picked them up and taken them to the meeting. If only I had called them more often. If only I had recruited people and stuck them under my new recruit, then they would have been able to see that they could become successful!
Don't fall into that trap. When you start to play the "if only" blame game you are heading down the wrong road. It's not your fault! The real truth is there is very little you can do to motivate your team. Sure, you can do some things, but for the most part, people are going to do what people are going to do, and we aren't going to change them.
So what can you do to motivate your team? Go to work and change your life. The best leader is a leader that knows the way and shows the way. There's an old saying that is so appropriate for MLM. What you're doing speaks so loud, I can't hear what you're saying. Some people will get motivated when they see you change from massive MLM loser, to phenomenal MLM success. If all you do is tell them to make it happen, but they see you do nothing, you will never motivate them.
You need to understand that it really does not matter how successful you become, some people will never get motivated and change their own life. It just isn't going to happen, so quit trying to make it happen. Don't worry about the things you can not control!
Have you ever tried to get your children to keep their room clean? Maybe you are better than we are, but no matter what we tried we could never get our kids to keep their room as clean as we wanted them to. No matter how hard you try to help some people, they just aren't going to be a success in MLM.
When they decide that they are tired of the life that they are living, then and only then, will they become successful. So if you want to motivate your team go become a huge success in your MLM business, take lots of vacations, buy a second house, drive a much better car and then some people will get motivated.
