I then realized we tend to make things more complicated than they really are when in actual fact, once you understand the core principles and just apply them success will come. The article was titled “The 10 Qualities Needed To Succeed In Internet Network Marketing”.

One of the ten things it takes to succeed in internet network marketing that often gets taken for granted is the good ol’ fashioned “one per centers.” It’s something my coach used to drill into me back in my high school football days because while I could play, I tended to be a little lazy and coasted a bit.

Yes, I know that’s hard to believe…me lazy – no way!

10 Top Internet Network Marketing Success Tips

Anyway, that article “touched a cord” and reminded me it’s important to keep the simple success stuff close and handy and review them on occasions. Since I wrote the article, my online business has grown nicely and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved but things seem to have become complicated. It’s just great to be able to go back and see “what made things tick.” Here are the 10 things I wrote in 2007 that you need to do to succeed in internet network marketing:

#1…Do the “1 per centers” and do them often. It means doing that extra bit and while you and others may not recognize what you’ve done in the moment and results won’t appear instantly,  do them often enough and  they will come and in droves.

#2… The special internet network marketer understands the concept of cause and effect. Whatever positive action they take today will resonate later down the track.

#3… They don’t rest on their laurels. That is, they know if they don’t work their business then no one else will despite claims that an upline can build your business for you.

#4… The special inter-network marketer doesn’t hang around for instructions from their upline. They act without being told to act and “shoot first and ask questions later.”

#5… They welcome failure. Failure to an MLMer on a mission towards their end goal is just another sign that they’re on the right track.

#6… The special internet MLMer surrounds themselves with those who have already blazed the path to success before them. In other words, they are constantly on the lookout for ways and ideas to stretch their own boundaries.

#7… They both love and hate the idea of climbing out of their comfort zones. The feeling of discomfort they feel when they push themselves into unknown territory is tempered by the fact that they know the current action will have extremely positive consequences for their business later on.

#8… The special internet-networker takes each day on it’s merits and there is no such thing as having a bad day. Why? Because they invariably shape their own days. Better still, it’s a chance for them to do just a little bit better than the previous day which brings great satisfaction at the end of it. In other words, they continually challenge themselves.

#9… They know that success doesn’t come when the end goal is reached. Success is actually on a daily basis and they know it’s the journey to the top of the mountain that is the success.

#10…Finally, the special MLMer knows how to work smart by using the power of internet network marketing to target their prospects twenty four hours a day, seven days a week instead of trying to twist the arm of an unsuspecting relative or friend to join their business.

Network marketing is one business high on business opportunity seeker’s shopping lists and despite the woes happening everywhere else, MLM will continue to thrive. And it’s interesting to note the number of previously failed network marketers who are being drawn back to this business model.

Why is this? Well apart from the economic crisis, the word is out that MLM today is looking much different to what it did even ten years ago. The reason…the internet. Where once it was unattractive for many to consider approaching family and friends now, it’s possible to get a flying start in the business without even letting anyone you know that you’re building a home business.

And this is why any thoughts of an MLM recession should be eliminated from your thinking. In fact, it’s good times, a boom if you like simply because of the number of people trying to find ways to ease their financial burdens.

With the power of internet network marketing to reach out to those seeking opportunity today, you are in a fantastic position to place your message in front of a hungry crowd eager to hear what you have to say and offer.

The fact is, people are hurting at the moment and they are wanting solutions. Network marketing is a business model which once upon a time was considered unattractive because of it’s “slow grow nature” and while success won’t happen overnight, with resources such as Ann Sieg’s blueprint The Renegade Network Marketer at your disposal, getting into profit sooner rather than later is now reality.

But you need to recognize the current opportunity to benefit from it. Simply thinking things will just happen for you by doing some mild promotion won’t do much for your bottom line. What were saying is if you show the same tenacity required to build a business off line and use that energy to build it online, you can be guaranteed that your business will grow considerably faster using inter-network marketing techniques than it ever could using the “old methods.”

Working online in this business means you for the most part are a solutions provider. It doesn’t matter what field you’re involved in – health, nutrition or technology, people are generally looking for solutions when they go online or answers to questions they have.

In the make money niche, and with the economy on it’s knees currently, many people will be looking for solutions to their financial issues and if you have the answer for them then there’s a strong chance they will look at what you have to offer.

But this is where the line needs to be drawn between simply offering a money making opportunity and a solution to someone’s problem. If you are hell bent on sales pitching your visitors without giving them any real value; stuff they can take away and implement, then you will experience some long droughts in your inter network marketing business.

You need to be acting like the solutions provider you are. What you write in your marketing material should be touching a visitors emotions. In other words, instead of making it about you it should be about them. After all, they have a want and have found your page and are looking to see if you understand what it is they want. Does this make sense?

So instead of selling them just the dream give them the “how to.” Too many marketers sell the dream and fall down badly when it comes to “putting their money where their mouth is.” This builds more dis-trust within prospects and many fail to realize that if only they altered their thinking and actually gave their prospects stuff without asking for anything in return then the chances of creating relationships with them increase substantially.

And this means one thing – there will never really be a need to use that sales pitch. Once the barriers of trust are taken down, the chances your prospect seeing you as the person to help them achieve what they want becomes just a formality.

Internet Network Marketing Blueprint For Success

In a nutshell, it’s the art of getting a prospect from suspect to joining your business but without you hitting them with a sales pitch. Sounds like an interesting concept doesn’t it, especially in the world of internet network marketing where sales pitches are part and parcel of the prospect process. Well, here’s something that may have never crossed your mind – it doesn’t need to be.

Yes, let me repeat it…the sales pitch doesn’t need to be part of the process of prospecting. One of my all time favorite sayings was delivered not long ago by author of The Renegade Network Marketer Ann Sieg and it related to pre-selling:

“The frame in which someone views a message has more of an impact on their decision than the message itself.”

Think about that for a moment and let me explain what it means. What do most MLMers do when they have a prospect. They continually bombard them with how great their company and products are or “if you don’t join now you’ll be sorry.” Let me ask you…would you be turned on to join someone like this in business?

Now let’s take the pre-sell angle. A person comes into your internet network marketing funnel and you immediately send them some information. But it’s not just any old information such as a standard welcome but you give them a report of some kind which can help them in their home business endeavors. It may be a report on article marketing or a collection of tips they can utilize. But make sure they can use them.

You then follow up with more information dripping them training and educational tidbits. You send them an email and ask them if they are using the information and if they want to know more about the material you’re sending them. Offer one-on-one coaching to help them with their business. Notice I said their business. Up until now you haven’t even mentioned your business opportunity.

Can you see what’s happening here? You are building a powerful relationship with someone you’ve never met. This person is still with you because they are starting to view you as someone important in their business building future. You are selling yourself and not the company or products. Once this happens magic begins to happen.

The truth is, it’s you someone will join in business not the company. It’s worth reading The Renegade Network Marketer’s message on pre-selling again:

“The frame in which someone views a message has more of an impact on their decision than the message itself.”
