How Network Marketing Can Grow Your Business

By Mark Timmons


A strong network marketing business is built upon the advice of many people who came before us. You use your upline to learn the ins and outs of your products and your prospects. In this article, we are going to try to give you some more general tips for running your network.

Avoid comparisons entirely to avoid sending yourself off course. It's human nature to want to look at how everyone else is doing compared to ourselves but it's not going to do you any favors. Every one's path to success is different so pay attention to where you are now and work that path.

If you have something different to offer, you never know who might be interested. You have to give people the opportunity to see your product before you can make a sale.

My Father is an entrepreneur and he's taught me a lot over time. One thing I learned just by eating dinner with him is that he claims everything. As long as you discuss your network marketing business at dinner, you can claim not only the bill but your gas costs to and from the restaurant!

When you've completed your initial website, ask someone you know who knows nothing about network marketing to look at it. Have them use a critical eye when reviewing everything, and then find out if they would sign up through you if the website is all they had known about you.

Allow your downline to shine by providing an area for your teammates to write about their successes. More than just a testimonial, having a downline blog will show both that you are an excellent team leader and that your downline has been successful thanks to your mentoring. This is a huge plus to anyone looking to sign up!

When marketing your business, use an email address that looks professional. Part of being a good network marketer is your reputation, and great_scott@gmail.com - will get you noticed - but not in a good way. Buy your own domain name for your website and set-up a mail server. Afterwards, use your first and last name as the start of your email address, like SJones@MarketWhiz.com or ScottJones@SalesPro.com.

When you have a career doing network marketing, you need to make sure that you are spending your time wisely. Taking a lot of time to check your emails or Facebook is not really going to get you anywhere in terms of making more money. Make sure you know the sales of your company product, and how your sponsors are doing, then you can spend some time doing the things first mentioned.

Many people seem to forget that although a network marketing business is not a physical business like a store or market, it still counts as a business. Rather than taking a network marketing business lightly as if it were some kind of hobby, treat it like any real business, or your business may fail.

Keep your home office AND your mobile office organized! Your car may be your office on the road, so it needs to be clean and in order. Make sure all your promotional material is carefully stored in a way that allows you to find what you need quickly, and keep some business cards in the glove compartment just in case you happen to meet up with someone who is a potential lead!

Typically the very best way to become involved with network marketing is by using the internet. Not only does this give you practice for a very low investment, it also gives you autonomy and allows you to profit yourself and not an organization that is built off of the back of your work.
