8 Important MLM Tips for Success


MLM Tip #1
I am amazed at how many people start a MLM business and instead of following in the path of those who came before them and succeeded, they try it their way.
Tip: Copy the SYSTEMS, do not RE INVENT THE WHEEL
MLM Tip #2
Do not treat your MLM as a side hobby. If you treat it like a business and stick with it long term, you will likely find success.
Tip: If your doing it part time, make sure to allot time for it every day of every week. The last thing we want is for procrastination to set in. Focus!
MLM Tip #3
This tip is a spinoff of #2. Schedule your MLM marketing time. It is one thing to decide I will put in 10 hours a week, that is easy to say, but it is another thing to do so and stick with it over the long haul.
Tip: schedule your MLM time!
MLM Tip #4
Set goals, and I strongly disagree with the rational of setting “realistic goals”.
It is like having a “rainy day” bank account. If you save for a rainy day, that is exactly what you will get, rainy days. I invest my money. If I really fall into trouble, I sell.
So back to goal setting, I believe in the “law of attraction”. If you set your goals high and focus on it, the universe will somehow make it possible.
Let’s assume you set a goal to go to Mars, would you consider a failure to actually land on the moon?
I think you get the point.
Tip: Think BIG and Kick Ass! Impossible is nothing!
MLM Tip #5
Selling product is fine and I have customers too, but the real money in MLM comes from sponsoring distributors and helping them build.
Balance your sponsoring and marketing activities to find new distributors. You'll be amazed that products are a good attraction for most people.
Tip: Keep it balance. Retailing and Networking makes a great income, combined!
MLM Tip #6
Give a lot of support to your team. The more support your team gets, the more likely they will succeed and also the longer they will stay with you.
Many people think you need to sponsor an army but that is not the case. You need 3-5 key players that you sponsor and if you help them build, amazing things can happen.
My sponsor in my company is currently the second to highest rank, and he has only recruited 36 people into the company and most of them have dropped off. He has 4 key legs that is it!
Tip: MLM is a people business, Its all about the people, growing, helping and leading them.
MLM Tip #7
This next MLM tip is huge!
Do NOT do too many marketing strategies, that is what I did in the beginning and I struggled for a long time because of it. I did not find success until I focus on 2 strategies.
So find something that works for you and do a lot of it!
Tip: Copy the SYSTEMS, do not RE INVENT THE WHEEL
MLM Tip #8
Learn how to talk with people. MLM recruiting is a special skill that can be learned by anyone!

Tip: Practice, just think "im here to make friends" no pressure at all

Online Marketing or Offline Marketing?

Online Marketing or Offline Marketing? 

In this article, i wanted to share what i know about online versus offline marketing. As many are already familiar with this, you will be amazed that there are still a lot who have no idea what these are, How powerful it is and how clueless we are on how easy it can be.





But first lets define what Online Marketing and Offline Marketing is.

Definition

Offline Marketing is your traditional business done in the traditional manner of advertising. Simply put it, advertisements done through newspaper, magazine, radios, TV adds, banners etc.

Pro's
- Proven system
- Effective in delivery
- Can reach a huge number of demographics

Con's
- Expensive, requires a substantial amount of money.
- could be limited to your area and country only (depending on your initial funds, again going back to "expensive")
- requires a lot of work and people (advertising consultants, staff, paid actors etc)
- ROI or Return of Investment takes longer ( 2 to 3 years by average)


Online Marketing is defined as your business advertised online through social media (number one right now if i may say myself) like Facebook, Online Stores (Multiply.com, Sulit), blogging, tweeting, etc.
Pro's

- This is already a proven system ( samples are coke and pepsi battling it out on the social platform of Facebook)
- Massive potential and reach (again, this is online and the whole world can see this)
- FREE This could be the BEST advantage yet. Most social sites are FREE registration and if not only requires a minimal fee for advertisement edge. Like Facebook, you can spend a budget of a dollar per click but of course the higher the better but just imagine advertising online for $10 - $50 compared to thousands.

- minimal number of people to work with (no need to hire anyone), less expenses
- ROI can be seen in a months time  


Con's

- Spamming, be careful with this one. There's a line between sharing/promoting from Spamming and the latter can create negative feedback instead of a good one.
- none that i can think of, given that you follow the successful paths and do your research first (Basics, Guide and always get a successful brand to mirror), your business should hit success in no time.


Now that we have defined the two, the next question that is always asked is, which one is better and why? 



In my honest opinion (based on my experience and research as well), I prefer Online Marketing. Why? because of the following reasons:

1) You don't need a lot of funds to start up. When i started, i only needed a few scanned materials, a desktop & internet connection (which is a standard necessity already in any home, if none whats 25 pesos in a computer shop) and creativity. I finished my first Ebay add in less than 30 minutes and that's FREE advertisement.

2) You can start faster if not immediate. Yes, i will admit that it took me at least a few hours to research online about which FREE sites to use, how, success stories and online tips but that's still faster compared to offline which requires, market study, statistics etc and that requires months if not years to complete. 



3)More leverage for you. What do i mean? by leveraging on the massive power and visibility factor of the net, your business works for you and therefor gives you more time for the important things. Admit it, we want more time for the important things in life. That's why we saw this opportunity.

4) It works while your asleep, gone in vacation, 24 hours a day with global exposure and the best part with minimal to moderate management on your part. Once you have set a system, it takes care of itself. 



5) Massive exposure. This time your not only limited to your peers, friends and family. The globe is your apple here.

Now, its safe to assume that your reading this article because your interested in Online Marketing, Need an extra income, build your own business or simply need help with your own 
Online Marketing. First things first, don't be afraid to try  Online Marketing, its simple and easy. Your 1st tool is knowledge and there is plenty in the net though word of caution, there is such a thing as too much information paralysis. Just focus on one successful system and remember that it does take patience and consistency. If you don't hit it on the 1st week, don't just jump to another system. Go back to the basics and improve what you started don't just over haul it immediately.


Next is the How?
For strategies, as i mentioned above. There are a lot in the net but i'll be discussing the basics on a separate article.

So there you go, i Hope i was able to help and enlighten you even in the simplest way about Online and Offline Marketing.

How about you, whats your experience with this two? What better and effective for you? and as always feel free to share your thoughts and this article if it proved helpful to, as we can still help other =)

Cheers!
