I want to welcome all of you to the first installment of whoisnerodeabraham.com. I hope that you will get a lot out of this blog as time goes on, and will frequently come back to reference it for tips and tricks to winning big in MLM.

You know, I have had a lot of experience off and on over the years in the field of Network Marketing, and I have grown from building my own list to building my downline completely on autopilot with no calling or selling whatsoever.

And what I have found over the years is that you can pretty much guarantee success for yourself in almost any business in MLM if you know how to find the right opportunity and the right team to lead you to success.

Now I know that a lot of readers looking at this may think that I sound a bit cliché when I tell you this, but trust me when I say this. When you know how to look for the right opportunity, you will be successful. The problem is, most people don’t know how to do this correctly. So here is the process that I follow when I look for when I get involved in any opportunity.

1.) I look for the method of marketing: I always look at the method of marketing being used to promote that business opportunity. Are they building a list of friends and family? Are they marketing using postcards or over the internet? You want to be sure you know that they have a sure fire marketing system in place that you would be comfortable doing. If you don’t feel you would be comfortable building a company by asking your friends and family, then don’t join.

Whenever I look at an opportunity, I try to make sure that I would be able to promote it in a way that would require as little work as possible for me. Sure I could create my own automated system, and use that. But, would my downline be able to do the same? I would much rather have some sort of automated system in place that I can promote right away with very little effort on my part.

2.) I look at the stability and reputation of the company and the marketing system: Once I have found a few opportunities I may be interested in, I research the company , the reputation of the marketing system I may be using. I never join a company that has not been around for several years. I want to be sure that the company I am joining is stable and secure. I also research the leaders in the company. I call them, and test the waters with them. I see which ones are responsive and which ones aren’t. I also talk to downline members to see what they think, and what success they have had on that team.

3.) I look for an all in one solution: Finally, I want to be sure that the company provides a way for anyone to succeed. I look for monthly co-ops through the company or team I would be on, or ways to benefit from company advertising. I find out what the average success rate of a campaign would be and how much I would need to spend in advertising to reach my goal in 12 months.

4.) I see if the opportunity would be cost effective: This is not as big of an issue for me as it would be for others, but I do still research how cost effective an opportunity would be for an average Joe trying to start up and make money with a particular system. I want to make sure that my future downline won’t go broke trying to promote the opportunity.

Once I have all these pieces in place, I can be about 95%-99% sure that I will be able to make money with this opportunity. I don’t let fast talkers sell me, I don’t buy into the hype. I just follow the system above to insure maximum results. So what’s your method? Is this pretty much what you do to find your own program? Leave your comments. We would love to hear what you do.
