As the internet is constantly changing and evolving, so are the methods that are working to drive traffic, capture peoples attention and build empires online.

If your anything like me, I am a sucker for information.  When your connected in this industry, you have access to a lot of valuable information and don’t get me wrong, its all valuable, however………..

There is not enough time in a day to study every course, read every sales letter, email and e-book out there.  It’s called information overload. So where does that leave me and every other network marketer in the industry? FRUUUUSTRATED! BIGTIME!

My mentor, coach and business partner Mike Dillard has been instrumental in providing the network marketing industry with the most cutting edge resources available anywhere in the world.  He too struggled with information overload and over the course of the past year he has done something about it.

Mike is plugged into some of the brightest minds in the Internet/Network Marketing World. Infact he has a lot of them on his payroll.

What if I were to tell you that he got together with about 8 of the top experts in everything from PPC, Copywriting, SEO, Social Media, etc. and got from them the exact blueprints on what they are doing to build their businesses every month and loaded that information into a monthly newsletter and offered it to the public for $40 a month?

What if you never had to buy another how to course EVER AGAIN? Would you be excited?

Well that is exactly what Mike did and it launched today.  It’s called Whats Working Now and is going to change this industry forever.

If your at all serious about being successful in this industry, your going to have to learn how and where to invest your money into educating yourself.  After all, your income will be determined by the amount of value you provide to people, PERIOD!

How can you provide anyone value if your not increasing yours through continuing education?  YOU CANT!

Enjoy,

Network Marketing is not what it was ten years ago.  Quite frankly it’s not what is was five years ago.  I am going to go over the pros and cons of building your business online vs. offline and you can make your own determination of what makes more sense to you.

After doing both, I know the answer.  You will have to make the determination for yourself, but I think once your done, you will see things in a whole new light.

Getting Leads

Offline – You are going to build your list manually through making lists of friends and family, talking to strangers in malls, stores, Barnes and Noble, gas stations, etc. This works awesome if your a type “A” personality. Most people don’t. This takes a lot of time.

Online – Traffic is automatic, once it’s built.  Your going to build your list online through a lead capture page or “squeeze page”.

Connecting With Leads

Offline – You have to physically call every one of your leads.

Online – Your going to use an email auto-responder in which your going to add value to them.  You are also going to call your leads, but by the time you call them, they know who you are and are interested in your offer.  After all, they opted in for more information.  Your not having to bring them up to speed like you would in an offline scenario.  Your system does the sifting and sorting for you so all your left with is a qualified lead.

Business Presentation

Offline – You have to physically show up to show the plan. I personally remember when I first got started in network marketing showing 1 hour plans.  Can you imagine? And I drove all over my state doing it, sometimes out of state. WASTE OF TIME. Why? Because they were not pre-qualified and I was just using the plan as a filter to check their interest.

Online – How about a webinar or video doing the presentation.  How about a PowerPoint presentation or a Bamboo drawing session to explain your business plan online?  You can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Follow Up

Offline – This sometimes can be done on the phone, but most of the time it’s in person. Once again, leaving your home, spending precious time away from your family.

Online – We use email, the phone, Skype and other online communications.

Sign Up

Offline – Traditionally to sign someone up your going to have to give them a number or a specific website to send them to.  You have to guide them through the process.

Online – Your sales funnel will sell almost everything for you if it is set up correctly.  Sign-ups are automatic and there is little effort involved.

Training

Offline – You have to meet weekly in hotels, homes, etc. to do training with your team.

Online – You can automate your training through videos and teleconferences.

Conclusion Offline

Pros: Offline business building in the network marketing industry is more stable and you can create real long term relationships with people.

Cons: Very time intensive and it is limited to what you can do on a daily basis.  It’s solely up to you.

Conclusion Online

Pros: You can reach way more people in a shorter period of time.

Cons: Will dissipate if you don’t build relationships

As you can see, there are pros and cons to both ways of building your network marketing business. There is no right way or wrong way, there is just quick and slow.  With that said, how long do you want to wait to build your business.  Are you on the 6-12 month plan or the 3-5 year plan?

Network Marketing has been around since the beginning of time……..

When you think of the greatest network marketer of all time, who comes to mind? Jim Rohn?  Dexter Yager? Larry Winters or Randy Gage?

For me, it’s got to be Jesus Christ. You may be scratching your head thinking I have gone off my rocker but hold on a sec and let me go deeper.  Jesus walked the earth over 2000 years ago.  His message was the Gospel “The Good News”. That was his product line (per say). He had twelve disciples in which he commanded to go out into the world and spread the word of the Gospel.

Now you catch my drift.  The Gospel spread all over earth and nearly 2/3 of the planet know of him and his teachings.  It all started with the twelve.  The message remains unscathed and the product still pure.  Jesus has the largest down line known to man.

Ok…So now your thinking to yourself, “Josh, what is your freaking point here!”  My point is, he used a system very much like the one really good network marketers use today.  He focused on others before himself.  He focused on educating his students, empowering his students and most of all, loving his students.

These are the three elements that must be present when building a team and a large organization of any kind.

Education: This is what most network marketers want to skip over when they get started.  They want to know how to quickly move product and make money.  Chances are, that thought process changed real quick when people realize that they have no idea how to market.  Learning is the first step in network marketing success.

Today, there is a lot to learn. Most companies teach their “students” to work their warm market. Friends, family and neighbors.  Doesn’t work to well these days.  Savvy network marketers have taken to the Internet to practice their trade because it’s a way bigger pond with way bigger fish. Jesus didn’t have the Internet, but he sure focused on educating his disciples on the word of god.  Now evangelism is all over the Internet.  Kingdom Connection is a great example. As time changes, so do the ways in which we distribute information.

Empowerment: Empowering your team is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle in network marketing.  It’s not what you can do, it’s what you can duplicate.  Jesus handed over his power to his disciples and told them to go out and feed the hungry and heal the sick.  Today, if we empower people, all we will have are followers.  The goal is to have those followers become leaders.  Give them the tools they need to succeed and set them loose.  Sure some will need more nurturing than others, but it is empowerment that will build long term success and stability in your business.

Love: One of Jesus’s greatest commandments is to love your neighbor as you love yourself and of all things, love is the greatest.  Love is the glue that holds organizations together through thick and thin.  You have to love people folks.  If it’s all about you, you won’t have people hanging around for long.  Get personal with people on your team.  Help them get what they want.  Love on them.  Give them attention and let them know how much you appreciate them.  The leaders who do this have what they have because they have taken the time to care for others.  Be selfless in your journey.

Network marketing is not just about making money, it’s about people and changing lives.  Sure there are always going to be those that take advantage of the system, but it will be short lived.  This is a relational industry and without education, empowerment and love, the glue loosens and wheels begin to spin.

In today’s world there are all types of network markter’s out there.  Here are a few I came up with………

The Wanna-Be Network Marketer

Ever hear of the term fake it until you make it?  These are network marketers that try to impress you by making outlandish income claims and trying to make you think that they have made it financially.  I see it all over the place on the web but can read right through those people.

It’s real easy to pick them out of the crowd-simply google them.  It is amazing what you can find out about people when you query the search engines.

The Shouting Network Marketer

This is a category that a shit-ton of network marketers fall into.  The internet is filled with noise and people knocking others down thinking its going to make them look like the king.  Big time no no and we know who you are.  These guys and gals actions speak so loudly we cant hear what they are saying.

They are known for spamming and blatantly pitching their business opportunities all over the web in places you wouldn’t dream of seeing a business opportunity.  They crowd twitter, myspace, facebook and many other web 2.0 sites.  Most of the time they are shunned.  No one likes a shouter.

The Newbie Network Marketer

Newbies are cool because they are hungry to learn more.  They are wide open vessels.  There are really two types of Newbies.

1. This infant networker goes out and keeps purchasing course after course hoping it is their next ticket to wealth.  Problem is, they realize it takes a whole lot of time to go through these courses and learn the info, let alone implement.  They get so overwhelmed that they freeze up and end up frustrated and confused.

2. This networker chooses his/her course of action carefully.  They mastermind with people who are where they want to be and purchase one relevant course at a time to learn and master the skill set.  They don’t purchase another one until they have gotten results from implementing the knowledge they learned from the course.

The Clueless Network Marketer -  This is going to be short and sweet.  These guys and gals just throw crap at the internet and the world around them, hoping something will stick.  It’s a short term strategy and never works so please STOP IT!

And Finally….Drum Roll Please……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Savvy Network Marketer

These are the guys and gals I love to see succeed. They have done their homework, invested time, effort and money into their marketing plans and are attacking their futures with everything they have.  They know where they are going and how they are going to get there.  They know their conversion rates, budget, time commitments, etc.

Savvy Networker’s know where to find their audience and how to relate to them.  They are problem solvers and solution finders.  These marketers are always seeking wisdom and guidance from the movers and shakers in the industry.

Ok, these are only a few ideas and I would love to hear more from you.. If you can think of a category, please share it as I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Make it a great day,

To have what you have never had, you have to do things you’ve never done.

This industry is real and full of opportunity, however people fake themselves out.  They don’t realize the commitment and work that has to go on behind the scenes to be an impact player in the field of network marketing.

There are many reasons that only 3% of the people in the MLM and Network Marketing industry will succeed.  Here are some reasons that are hang-ups for most people: In the #1 Spot, folks have no marketing education, #2 they have a lack of capital to invest in themselves and marketing, they have an undecided heart , they fake themselves out and last but not least, they don’t have an online marketing system.

Internet Marketing Education

Most Networkers are good at just that. They forget about the most crucial piece of their business, marketing.  You have have the most in demand product, but if you don’t know how to market it, you cant make any money.

This is universal for any business. If you want to excel in anything that you do, you have to study it.  Why is it that when people start a new job they take it very seriously and want to learn everything they can about the job, but when it comes to have their own business, most do not take it as seriously.

Lack Of Capital

Network Marketing is real business. It requires real investment of time and money.  There is no such thing as get rich quick, however this is what a majority of people get started in this industry believing.

I have invested thousands of dollars into my marketing education in learning how to market online. I have also invested thousands in the systems I use to build my business.

Like anything else, you get out what you put in.

Having An Undecided Heart

You have to decide exactly what you want, when you want it and finally, have a plan to make it happen. You can’t be luke warm in this industry as it will chew you up and spit you out.

Habits have a big part in your success or failure in the Network Marketing industry. Develop a strong work ethic and a balanced life.  I always listen to what people do rather than what they say. This gives me an indication of where their treasure lies.

Show me where you spend your time and your money and I will tell you where your heart is. You must decide that your going to win and not stop until you get there.

Faking Yourself Out

“Thou shalt not foolith thyself”. I see a lot of people in this industry thinking they are doing what it takes to create momentum and build a substantial business.  The fact is, they are staying steady enough to gain any real traction.  Remember that while you are sleeping, there are people who are making things happen.

I know exactly what kind of work it takes to generate leads, convert those leads into new partners or business and give myself the life I deserve.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you just spent two hours in your business and you have made progress.  You have to know exactly what action is producing results.  Track everything you do, have  a game plan and stick to it. It goes back the get started, stay steady and don’t quit attitude. Become the person you were meant to be and Go For it.

Online Marketing Systems

The difference between the top earners in the MLM and Network Marketing industry and the 97% that are failing are systems. We use lead generation systems, auto-responders and tools to build our businesses. It doesnt matter what business your in, lead generation systems are generic and will produce results for anyone if used properly.

If your still making lists of your friends and family and cold calling people from lead lists you have bought, your part of the 97% failure group. Those methods work for very, very few people.

Ok, so wrapping it all up, anyone can succeed in Network Marketing and the MLM industry. Limited belief and listening to nay-sayers is for the weak and simple minded. Decide your going to become a 3% leader and you will be, it’s that simple.

PS. All Top Network Marketers use a system to generate leads, educate their team and to develop momentum in business. Visit http://www.InternetWealthPros.com to any Network Marketing Business To The Next Level.
