5 Ways for Network Marketers to Explode Their Business

Network Marketing can be hard for some people to grasp in the beginning. You are told a bunch of different strategies from many different areas and don't know which ones to go with. Or maybe your only getting training from one person and what worked for them isn't necessarily working for you. If you are in a position like that don't give up. Keep going through the rough waters because once you get through them, it can be smooth sailing.

Ok, here is a few things that have helped me along the way.

1.) Stay away from high priced leads. Trust me their not worth the paper their printed on if you haven't already noticed. The thing about biz opp leads are, like I said very expensive, ranging from 3-15 dollars per lead! Whenever I need to buy leads which I don't usually need to, I don't spend over 15 cents a lead. You may find that hard to believe but its true. You just need to know where to find them, and your not gonna do it by listening to your upline about spending $350.00 on 40 leads. That tactic may work for people who have a bunch of spending money coming into this but most people I know who are just starting out don't have those type of funds. Its much more cost effective to have leads coming to you instead of being on a wild goose chase for that one big prospect.

2.) Do not waste time on free classified add sites. If you have not already noticed, those things are flooded with the same crap that no one cares to look at. Your more likely to have a bunch of fellow network marketers emailing your link and asking you to join their opportunity rather then actual prospects calling you. Your much better off starting a blog and joining blog sites. That way people who are interested in that subject can read a little bit of actual information about your business instead of the same old, "$10,000 in two days! awesome," people naturally are repelled by that because you are trying to sell them, which brings up number 3.

3.) Do not hard sell, or push your opportunity on people. You know that you do'nt like it so why would anyone else feel any different. Your better off explaining your business and just getting to know the person, ask alot of questions about them, and what their looking for. You'll end up selling yourself instead of your company and when you sell yourself that means the prospect likes you and when they like you, they sign up. When people like something they buy it, people love to buy, but they hate to be sold, always remember that.

4.) Don't get tunnel vision, meaning don't spend all of your time on one advertising technique. Too many times I see people devoting all of their time to one set thing whether it be buying leads constantly, or investing too much into pay-per-click, or even writing hundreds of little freebie classified ads. You have to broaden your horizons when it comes to marketing and try a little bit of everything and see what works for you. Once you find you marketing niche, thats when you run with it.

5.) Know your market. This may sound simple at first but it actually goes much deeper then you think. Let me ask you, do you post ads anywhere online, get random leads from random lead sources, just advertise to anyone and anything that comes your way. Well then you are a pretty prime example of someone who doesn't know their market. Do not be discouraged though, I see everyone do it. How can you start marketing a product or opportunity without knowing what type of people to market it to and where to find them.

And let me be perfectly clear, your target market isn't someone who filled in an add that said yes I would like to make money online. Whatever your marketing, find out as much as possible about you product, (you'd be surprised how many people just go into something not even knowing the full gist of what their product is about before they start marketing it) then do some research, it shouldn't take to long, and find out what type of people would get the most out of your product. You would market a wrinkle cream to a 22 year old woman would you? Get the point, find your target audience then get in front of them and start marketing, you will see a positive turn around in sales right away.

Try implementing all of these tips and watch your business begin to take off.
