Doing MLM with Internet Marketing

I was one of the people back in the 90s that got into the 'New' surge of network marketing, after they changed the name from Multi-Level-Marketing. I stayed with it until I discovered the truth about how many (or few) actually are able to have success. Still, the concept always intrigued me, and when a gentleman told me they were using the power of the Internet and combining it with network marketing in 2004, I decided to jump in again.

Of course, when something is new, there are always problems. In the case of this particular company, they used the tools of the Internet, but had no idea how to use, or teach, proper techniques of using the Internet.

I'm still with that company, but have been holding back from prospecting, because the main company still endorses and trains people on the old way of prospecting and marketing.

I've been studying from sources outside the company on how to take effective ways of using the Internet to run a network marketing business. Little by little I am understanding how it all works. The trick is, as always in this industry, how to teach it to others without it being an overwhelming task to them.

Yes, as with everything, you have to want it and do things you wouldn't ordinarily do to get things you wouldn't ordinarily have if you do the things you ordinarily do. But, I don't think it needs to be that difficult. And I am starting to see that I can figure it out, and if I can, I can show others how they can as well in a simple, low-cost, step-by-step way.

The funny thing is, I will be using this technique to get the word out to people that it works. I will need to make it work, at least on a small scale to begin with, to show that I can do it.

Before anyone starts a journey towards success, however, they have to be something. In this case, it is being a leader. I am discovering what it feels like to be a leader. I know what people need, and I must show them how to get it. They must make the decision to ask for it, though. I won't drag anyone there. They have to know it is the thing they must do. It takes more folks to give the chance to choose, because many will not take the plunge. Fear is a very powerful thing. That is why a powerful tool like the internet is needed to get that pool of people who can have to chance to choose.

So many people have a hard time getting away from the 'employee mindset' and making the switch to being the person where "the buck stops here." It scares a lot of people. I know it did me. But now I know that the alternative won't give me the lifestyle I know I deserve in this lifetime - and I know my family deserves it as well. I also hate to see others give in to mediocrity just because they don't see themselves in a particular role. So, I have to find those that won't settle for mediocrity.

Have I found you?
