You will not make money over night. There I said it. The secret is out. No matter what you hear from the hype on the Internet you can’t make serious money over night. Your income from sponsors or affiliate links is depended upon someone else buying the product just like you did. While you may have made the decision quickly most people don’t. Allow time for your business to grow. How much time depends on how much action you take.
You need to work harder than the average Joe. Lets face it if Internet marketing were easy than 97% of people doing it would succeed. But it is the opposite. You will need to work harder than 97% of the people out there doing their own MLM Home-Based Business. Fortunately for you that is not very hard since most people give up after 30 days.
Marketing training is the key to success. Joining your MLM business is not the end of your learning, but only the beginning. You must become a student of marketing and your business. You are marketing You, Inc. The better you do that the more success you will have. If you come from a marketing background you have a jump on everyone, if you don’t you will need to get to work.
Focus on one marketing strategy until mastered before trying another. There are some many marketing strategies that work on the Internet that you can lose your focus and begin to jump from one strategy to another. Pick one that appeals to you and focus on that strategy until you master it. You can continue learning about other strategies but keep you focus and marketing dollars on the one until you get at least 20 to 50 leads per day from it.
You will need to pick-up the telephone. Yes you will need to talk to people. You are building a team and you are the leader. You can’t lead from behind the curtain. You need to establish a relationship with your prospect. The better you are at talking to people on the phone the more success you will have.
Test your marketing and record the results. You need to constantly test your marketing copy and the results it brings. Keep good records so you can see how your marketing is doing. Use tracking codes and subdomains to track how well a particular copy does.
You must the right mindset. You need a winning mindset. You must be positive about your business so you can help others. Looking at the world of abundance will free your mind to think in terms of giving before receiving. You want to grow your business but that can only truly happen when you help others grow their business.
Have a marketing plan. You need a road map to your success and a marketing plan is that map. Layout what marketing strategy you will use, what copy, budget and expected results. Then monitor your plan and adjust it as needed until you get results.
You need a mentor. Everyone needs someone they can go to with questions or concerns about their business. Someone who has been in the trenches and can help you over the rough patches.
Never quit and you will always win. If you never quit then you will always win, timing is the only question. Consistent, persistent action everyday until you win. Not giving up when after 3 months or 6 months or 12 months. Working until you succeed.
