Internet Marketing as a Business

Many network marketers are now turning to the Internet to build their home based business. Why? People have not seen the success in MLM like they were promised. They know that there must be a way to make money online.

This Blog will give weekly, if not daily, tips on how to be successful on the internet - how to do internet marketing the right way!

Today, I'd like to post a story that I wrote some time ago.

Have you ever noticed when you mention "network marketing" or "MLM," how someone's eyes glaze over, or they get a frown on their face, or they just plain laugh at you? Been there? Done that?

Or, when someone asks you what you do... you mumble or think up a sophisticated job title so no one knows that it is really NETWORK MARKETING?

Well, we are committed to change how the world thinks about this "so-called" industry. Actually, if you really look at it... we are not a business, we are not an industry. We are simply "word-of-mouth" distribution reps for companies and manufacturers who run the business for us. We don't have all the typical business expenses of a business. We don't deal with payroll, or packaging, or management issues.

So.... don't you think that it's about time that we have fun as Distribution Reps? We'll show you how.

Would you like to know why most people who get into network marketing or MLM are not successful? There are three main reasons....

1 - Mis-Classification of Job Skills

For goodness sakes... I do believe that some of these networkers (heavy-hitters) lost their common sense marbles when they saw the dollar signs!! It doesn't take a genius to figure out that every person on this planet has specific skills and abilities that they excel at. Everyone is DIFFERENT! Thank GOD for that!

You don't hire a landscaper to be a dentist, or a race car driver to do delicate brain surgery. Then, why do the leaders in network marketing keep telling us to duplicate what they do, or just follow the 4-Steps to Success. That's like asking someone who has never had children to write a book on child rearing.

The truth is... when you develop relationships first, you learn what others are good at. Maybe they have a skill that you do not. Then... share tasks, delegate and utilize each other's talents. Pretty simple!

2 - Personality Style Recognition

Another important aspect to success in any business, especially in network marketing, is to determine the type of personality that you are working with. There are 4 basic personality types - Red, Green, Yellow & Blue. When you learn these, you can literally meet a new person... ask 5 questions... and know how to finish your conversation.

You are not going to ask the shy, analytical person (Green Person) to stand in front of a room of 100 people to give a "rah-rah" meeting (Red Person). Nor would you ask the person with a happy-go-lucky, devil-may-care, let's-go-party attitude (Yellow Person) to give a serious, loving, heart-felt motivational session (Blue Person.) Does this make any sense? To learn more about this, attend one of our classes. You will become a Master at redirecting your conversations with people - everyone will love you!

3 - Real Fears & Barriers

I have a very good friend, successful in network marketing, who is definitely a red personality. His answer to all people was, JUST GO DO IT! He meant well, and it was seriously that simple for HIM. Easier said than done though! Why? Here's a story to explain it.

One of my clients seemed to be very jolly, very upbeat and it appeared that he would be dynamite at selling and talking to people on the phone. He did very well with people face-to-face, telling stories, joking and laughing. When it came to picking up the phone to call prospects, he froze - voice and all. Why?

Come to find out, there were some deeply buried fears that he didn't realize were stopping him. As a teenager, while on an important phone call, he said something embarrassing, and was then made fun of by his parents and siblings. From that day forward, he carried a belief in his subconscious that "when you get on the phone, you will say something stupid!"

All the coaching and encouragement in the world by a red-type personality is not going to change that belief.... It actually only makes it worse - and adds to the list of failures. Our minds are so incredibly powerful - they will make us believe anything. However, through a special process...

you can override those lame messages coming from your subconscious.

Another good friend once said to me, "you don't know, what you don't know." After thinking about that for a day or so, I understood exactly what he meant. If we don't know what is stopping us from success, it's hard to do anything about it - and it will only get worse by repeating postive affirmations that You Can DO IT!

After going through this process myself, I recognized my newborn talent (which also was buried.) When talking to others about the barriers, blocks, obstacles and fears in their life.... most of the time, I could "see" what it was that was stopping them. That block can then be transmuted. To find out more about this process, email me. I have seen many of my clients go through complete turnarounds in relationships with other people, relationships with their body and health, and in relationships with their jobs and finances.
