In Network Marketing You Must Market Yourself Before Your Business.

Posted by Online Mentor on June 6, 2008 in Network Marketing with View Comments


With offline marketing I am marking myself first. I make it my daily goal to meet new people a day. I am not pushing my business just talking to them. I am looking to build confidence and trust in me. This is built up over a weeks or even months. This may seem a long drawn out process but remember I am meeting new people each day. When I have ascertained that they will benefit from what I have to offer and I would like to have them in my team I will talk to them about the business.

This way I do not scare them off and I have pre qualified them so I would be wasting my time with the wrong person some where down the track. If they are not interested that’s fine. You can often get referrals from these people because they trust you and like the way you operate.

To market yourself online isn’t a real lot different. You are still building relationships over time. It is just more time effective online. It can be done for a minimal cost. A couple ways to do this are:

Get yourself a Blog. People can visit your site, find out information about you. They can comment on any article you have there. Hence, you are building relationships with people.

Network Marketers Must Set Goals To Become Successful

Posted by Online Mentor on June 5, 2008 in Network Marketing with View Comments


To be successful in Network Marketing firstly you must have a dream or a burning desire to achieve something. For most people this would be something that has some emotion attached to it. The only way to achieve this is to be focused with consistent action happening. However, actions on their own will not give you success, they need to be structured. A plan of action so to speak.

The best way to do this is to set goals, both long term and short term. Look at what you really want to achieve, the end result, the light at the end of the tunnel, and then look at what you need to do to achieve this. Place a time limit on achieving it. Now break it down into a number of short term goals. If your long term goal is over five years you would progressive goals each year, every six months, every three months and every month etc.

Now to achieve these goals what action is needed? Also when you attach actions to you goals make sure you reward yourself when you achieve them. Always make sure your rewards are appropriate to what you have achieved, by this I mean don’t reward your self too much or too little. By rewarding yourself you will become more focused because you will want to get rewarded more and more.

If you were just to look at your final goal on its own it may appear too daunting a task, thus it may be easy to get frustrated when things don’t work at first, and give up. With short term goals you can see progress regularly each day, each week and each month. If you were to write a 500 page book, that could sound unachievable to some people, but if your goal was to write 10 pages a day that is achievable. The book is then written in 50 days. Your goal is achieved.

The same with Network Marketing, being consistent, doing many small action tasks will get you to your long term goal. As you go along you will make some changes but that is normal as you find out what works best. Concentrate your effort on the things that do work best for you and work to improve on the things that are not working as well as you would like.

Posted by Online Mentor on June 4, 2008 in Network Marketing with View Comments


This is always a question asked by people new to Network Marketing. Is it better to recruit online of offline? Well this does depend on what Network Marking business you are in. Some are more suitable to the internet than others.

The thing about Network Marking is that it must be able to be duplicated. Most sponsors or mentor teach new people the ways that can be duplicated and in some or most cases that is not the best way to grow your business. Now why is this you ask? Well Network Marking must appeal to anyone some methods of prospecting have minimal cost other can be expensive.

To make the opportunity appealing to everyone you need to have minimal costs, if not a lot of people would not be interested. This is why people are taught make a list and start calling people.
