My Angry Rants: How To Truly Succeed in MLM Online

Posted by nerodea | May 30, 2008 .

Let me ask you a question.

Would you give me $1 if you knew that you would get $4 back in return?

If you have any type of common since, your answer would be yes.  But yet most network marketers, when faced with this dilemma in real life almost always do the opposite—Let me tell you what I mean. 

It amazes me how every day people join MLM companies for anywhere from $10 a month, to as much as $10,000 for some, but when you ask them to put aside some money to actually advertise their businesses, they run for the hills.  And what’s even crazier, are that these same people are the ones who want to scream that MLM doesn’t work or drag good leaders names through the mud because they failed to do what was necessary to build their business.

And what’s even crazier are that a few months later, these guys join another company and do the same thing they did before… And the cycle continues.

They say, try as they might, they just can’t find the key of success online. 

You wanna what the key to success in online MLM truly is? Do you really truly want to know how to succeed?

Well here it is– find a good automated system, and advertise it to the right marketing sources.  You track your results, keep what works, and toss what doesn’t.  It’s that simple.

But you can’t succeed without following the entire blueprint.  Without all the components, you will fail.  So, once, again, to succeed in online MLM you need an automated system that captures leads and allows you to follow up with your downline on autopilot and you need to ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE!!

Now why do I stress advertising so much?                                                                                              

You have probably heard time and time again, that the people are the lifeblood of your MLM business.  The more people you talk to, the better your chances of success.  This is true for any business.  MLM is no different.

Now the great thing about the internet is that it can put you in front of as many people as you can handle, and it can do much more.  It can put you in front of people who actually want to join your company.  How about that for an advantage?

So where do you start? 

Well, for any business you are going to have to spend some time and/or money.  If you don’t have a lot of money, then you will have to spend more time getting the results you desire.  If you have money, you can get the results in less time because you can leverage your time by paying someone to do your work for you.  Online MLM is no different.

So, in order for you to succeed in online MLM marketing you have to either…

  1. Use the free method:  Spend 20-60 hours per week with SEO, blogging, Web 2.0, forum marketing, and article marketing to get people to your website.
  2. Use the paid method: Pay for advertising and spend 1-4 hours per week tracking your results and twiquing your campaign.
  3. Spend about 10-15 hours per week doing some of both.

Now, I’m more in the C category and if you want to be a leader you should be to, but if I had one to pick for the best results in the quickest amount of time, I would definitely choose B.  I love paid advertising because it’s basically automatic.  I don’t really have to do much to get it, and it gives me a chance to really test my Ad copy before I spend a ton of time on SEO out it won’t work.

Now, I’m not talking to those of you who are actually trying hard with no effort, and you do not know hwere to turn because there is no one who can help you.  For those guys, I hope this blog will be able to give you what you need.  I am talking to those who just join because they are looking for the next best thing—even though they may have everything they need to succeed. 

So if you’re in a good company with a good automated system, but you’re not doing anything to promote your business, here’s my advice.  Stop running and start advertising.  If you have successful uplines who are accessible, ask them what they did to get where they are and do it.  You will be shocked at the results you can achieve.

    Hi Nerode,

    I have always been told that like in the real word when buying
    a house it is “Location,Location and Location” and I am understanding
    that when you join any online Business that you have to “Advertise,Advertise
    and Advertise”

    I have to admit I do not spend hours and hours advertising as when
    I do Free Classifieds and such and find I get no results then it brings
    you down a bit.

    I have been trying to find better ways to Advertise and say hit thousands
    of Classifieds at the same time. My question is does this kind of Classified
    Blasters as I call them work?

    I have also been told you use the 80-20 rule that is when you are earning
    some kind of income online you keep 80% and use the other 20% for
    Advertising. I have been doing 100% back into Advertising but not
    sure what is good paid targeted advertising any ideas? Needs to be about
    $40 per month.

    Have an Inspiring Day
