The Major problems of network marketers are what we all have to face at some point and are the problems that hold 97% of network marketers back from making a substantial  income online. They are:

1. Lack of Leads

2. Lack of Money

3. Lack of Marketing Training

4. Lack of Duplication.

Let’s look at these individually.

1. Lack of leads- This is the lifeblood of your business. Generating traffic and leads is a skill that most marketers can’t do, but it is easy when you have a marketing plan and a strategy to follow.

Most marketers bounce around from one thing to another and hope something works, but with no consistency and plan. The results don’t happen and they get frustrated and move on to something else. (Does that sound familiar?)

You need personalized capture pages that build your OWN list and qualify and filter your leads. You need an automated follow-up system that creates trust and turns cold ’suspects’ to warm ‘prospects’. You need to be branding yourself with personalized videos and emails.

2. Lack of money- This is where I broke down time and again. I always thought I needed money to market, but there is a ton of free marketing you can do which is just as effective as paid.

Social media and web2.0 is a great way to generate 100’s of leads a week. If you know how. Again, this takes consistency and work, but it can generate a bundle of leads very quickly.

You also need some money to market and an automated cash-flow system from people who don’t decide to join your primary business. This will allow you to stay in the game without spending your own money.

You need a single streamlined sales funnel to maximize commissions with automated follow-up and promotion of multiple income streams to support your business and marketing costs.

3. Lack of marketing training- there are a lot of ways to generate traffic and leads that the top marketers know, but keep mostly to themselves and their communities. it is important to keep learning from top marketers what they are doing and where they are getting their traffic. Many things can be copied directly with the same results if you are smart enough to be in the know. It is important to be on webinars all the time and put into practice the new information you learn.

This is an exploding information age and what worked 10 years ago doesn’t work today. In fact, what worked last year is outdated and bigger, better and faster ways of generating traffic and being discovered by top marketers all the time. Be part of a community that is going to teach you these things and you will be ahead of 97% of marketers in your business.

4. Lack of duplication- It takes a lot of hard work and time to become a leader in your industry, but it is the ONLY way to grow your business properly. You have to have a system that works so you can show your new members that same system and walk them through becoming a leader themselves. To grow and generate leaders in your business is the greatest thing you can do for yourself. These few leaders are going to generate more income for you than 100 people who don’t know what to do and can’t sponsor anyone.

The 80-20 rule applies here, where you spend 80% of your time developing the people who desire to become leaders and 20% to the rest of your team. The more people you can plug into a successful marketing system, the more chance you have of developing real leaders.

So, where can you get a system that is going to do all this? Well, it has been around for a few years and is THE #1 lead generation system on the internet. They have access to free webinar training and you and your team can join and start your streamlined sales funnel for $1.

There is nothing better than education for your team and something you just can’t put a price on, so click http://www.TheCupPromotions.com and get you and your team started today.

When you look at all the advertising on the internet, do you think of Times Square in New York with all the loud flashing lights and ads. crying out for your attention. There is so much to look at that it is hard to focus on one at a time. It would have to be something pretty interesting to capture your attention and keep your focus.

The advertising about online businesses are much the same. So many and so loud that it is easy to tune them all out, until- you find that one that is different from all the rest.

Now, the thing I don’t get, is there is so much information about how to work the networking business properly, but still 95% of people are doing it all wrong.

People do not want to join a business- they want to join real people and leaders

“Everyone is looking for their WIZARD to help them in some MAGICAL way.” (Dan Kennedy)

How do you become that wizard that people are looking for?

If you have heard Perry Belcher’s “party” analogy, then you can see how moronic it is to run around telling your friends about how great your business is and ow much money you make and why you should be jumping on the bandwagon, then you will get pretty sick of them very quickly.

It is just not the thing to do, but that is EXACTLY what 95% of people do on Facebook, YouTube and all other web2.0 sites. And it Doesn’t work!

If you were making new friends you would be telling about family and life experiences. Work might come up later in the conversation, but you have to get to know them a bit first and establish a relationship.

You must first establish trust through your story and build a relationship before you get into business discussions.

People are desperate for experts and leaders in the industry. If you look at it from a medical point of view, when you are sick, you go to see a doctor, not the bottle of Advil. Advil won’t cure your problem if you have a broken leg. You have to go to a physician to set it properly.

Same can be said in business. If you are looking to build a business from home and generate traffic and leads, would you go to a company like Herbalife? No, you would go to a lead generation company first that is going to teach you how to generate traffic and leads for your business.

Then, just like the party, when you have established yourself as a leader, you would then talk about your Herbalife business when people ask you,  “What do you do for a living.”

Do you know your story? If not, then that is half your problem. You have to have your story out there for people to relate to.

Stay tuned to the blog for steps on how to generate your story.

Here is a link to a webinar that will give you a few Facebook secrets to start monetizing your traffic today.

This is going to be a quick and easy post, but with such value that will make you instantly recognizable and remembered by all your Facebook friends.

The problem with Facebook is almost everyone adds new friends based on Facebook’s suggested friends. There is hardly ever any communication between each other and you have just added another person who is trying to pitch you their products. This is how you can have 1000 friends and find people with 700 friends in common.

Facebook is very impersonal now and was never designed to be that way. It is much the same as Twitter in that it gets very little conversion to leads and sales because there is so much spam.

That is, of course, if you are doing what 97% of the people on Facebook are doing.

But, here is your chance to do something to stand out from the crowd and generate hundreds of leads from your Facebook followers.

Step 1.

Work on your profile. Put as much detail as possible about you and your family and likes and dislikes. This gives people a chance to relate to you in some way.

This is not a place to pitch your business, but should have a call to action to learn more about you from your blog.

You website urls. should be displayed on the side. You are working at making personal connections and establishing relationships. If people like you, they will be more interested in finding out what you do.

Step 2.

Join groups that relate to what you are marketing. If you are trying to find people interested in Attraction Marketing, then look for groups filled with these people. If you are interested in selling to soccer fans, join groups about soccer.

Step 3.

Send a personal welcome VIDEO when people join you on Facebook. This way, you become a “real” person, rather than a picture and a message. If you do this, you become instantly different than 99% of people on Facebook and stand out as personable.

Step 4.

Send a birthday video to the people on the list on their birthday. Sing them happy birthday, or leave a funny message that captures their attention. There is no selling here, but you can almost guarantee that they will go to your profile and see what you are all about and will recognize you from that point on as the person who sent them a funny birthday video.

Step 5.

Create your own groups. By having a group following you can send your message out to hundreds or possibly thousands of people at one time, rather than message them individually. It is like having an email list, but it can be a lot more responsive if you are providing value. A great theme is how to make more money and create leads using Facebook.  You know all your followers are going to need that knowledge.

The whole point of these steps are to be recognized as someone different in the mess that is Facebook. It is a extremely valuable tool if you are using the right tactics and you will get far better results when you become a real person instead of a spammer. It’s all about the relationship. I could make more money from a list of 200 people that I have a relationship with and see me as a likable person who provides value than you could with a list of 2000 people who don’t recognize you, or worse yet, recognize you as a spammer.

One final bonus step.

Take five minutes a few times throughout the day and hit “like”  or leave comments on the posts you like and agree with. The more response a post gets, the higher it is ranked and it shows up on the Newsfeed as something worth looking at. This is great for plugging your industry, so don’t be afraid to leave positive feedback on other people’s posts that are selling the same thing as you. Don’t look at them as competition. Look at them as partners.

For instance, if I am marketing TVI as my main business, I would look for other people marketing TVI as well and leave them good feedback. As so many of us have the same friends in common it promotes my business on the newsfeed that goes out to everyone. When people see me leaving positive comments and the business always getting recognition and always on their newsfeed they will look more into it. Now, who do you thing they are going to sign up with if they like the opportunity? The guy who is spamming the business, or the one who sent them a funny birthday video?

Here is a letter I got in my mail box from Mark Joyner. I figure if its being given away, then everyone needs to get it. This truly is one of the best pieces of marketing information I have come across in the last 5 years.

Follow this example in all your marketing and advertising.

Dear Neil,

If you can answer these 4 questions for your
prospect, you can quickly and easily close any
sale.

What are they?

I’ll tell you in a second …

I wrote a short book about this a few years ago.
It quickly became a #1 bestseller and has remained
one of the bestselling marketing books year after
year.

It’s now published around the world in 15 languages.

Joe Vitale said about it, “I’ve read every
marketing book written since 1900.  This is the
first breakthrough in 50 years.”

If you want to learn those 4 questions, you don’t
have to go buy the book.  As part of a marketing
test, my publisher has allowed me to give it away
and you can download it right now:

www.Simpleology.com/training/tio/

Even if you don’t have time to read it right now
(it’s short and easy), you should download it now
while you still can.  No telling when my publisher
will ask me to stop giving away one of their
bestsellers …

All the best,

MJ
