The Boring "Secret" To Success
I'm going to reveal the "secret" here to being successful at on-line
network marketing. But I want to warn you that is not magic and in
fact you may be disappointed to find out that the "secret" is really
quite boring.
First let me tell you why most people fail to make money at MLM or
network marketing programs on the Internet. As you read this see if
it describes you. John sees a site on the Internet promising quick
income if he can sign up 3 friends that also sign up 3 friends. He
joins, sends ads out to safelists and a few friends, and gets 1 or 2
sign-ups after a couple of weeks. He looks at his commissions which
are zero or maybe a couple of dollars after 2 weeks, decides the
program doesn't work, and joins another. Then he joins another and
another and after awhile can't remember which programs he has
already joined and can't keep track of all the user ids and
passwords.
I have people that e-mail me everyday saying that they think they
joined the program I'm promoting sometime in the past but they can't
remember. Or they join twice because they don't remember they just
joined 2 weeks ago.
So here is the "secret" in one word: PERSEVERANCE
Let's look at another case: Jane sees a site on the Internet
promising quick income if she can sign up 3 friends that also sign
up 3 friends. She joins, sends ads out to safelists and a few
friends, and gets 1 or 2 sign-ups after a couple of weeks. But she
doesn't quit. She keeps plugging away at it only getting on average
one sign up a week. At the end of one year, she has 52 sign-ups. And
she has followed up with the people she sponsored encouraging them
to stick with it and sharing what she has found successful and each
of them has signed up at least one each. And they in turn have done
the same with their sign ups. Because Jane stuck it out and kept
working with one program, at the end of one year she is earning a
couple of hundred dollars per month. At the end of the second year,
she is earning just over a thousand a month. By the end of the third
year, it is her choice whether or not she continues to stay at her
day job.
You need to find a *few* programs you believe in and keep plugging
away at them month after month following up with your downline and
motivating them to do the same. If you can't even remember if you
joined a program or not, how can you seriously expect it to give you
financial freedom?
Like I said there is nothing magic about it. And there is nothing
magic about the Internet that makes building a business occur
instantly - just like in the "real world" it takes time.
