Network Marketing Lead Generation

The one biggest problem network marketers face when starting off in business is cashflow.

The initial payment followed by marketing tools and autoship payments can leave a serious stain on a person's initial enthusiasm and if people aren't joining their business, then most will look for the exit door.

To me, this has always been a waste of everyone's time; the sponsor, who's efforts in recruiting someone into the business are wasted... and of course, the new distributor who is now several thousand dollars lighter in the pocket and up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Not many make the 90 day network marketing deadline. Between 80-90% will bail out in the first three months and look for greener pastures. But the truth is, if they go through the same routine they went through during their previous failure then guess what?... they'll more than likely get the same resultant failure in their next opportunity.

It took me a long time to break free from the old network marketing mentality of making a list, 3 foot rules and hassle every one in sight, and it didn't change until I got a chance to read a copy of Ann Sieg's book, The Renegade Network Marketer.

Creating cashflow on the front end is vital to surviving those first few months in any business let alone Network Marketing. Ann has done a good job in exposing tired old network marketing myths and has outlined a blueprint for not only creating immediate cashflow but targeting people who want to hear what you have to say.

A word of warning though, The Renegade Network Marketer is not full of any fluff, in fact, if you are an old school MLM'er set in your ways, then give the book a miss. It will offend you. It doesn't hold any punches.

However, if you want to understand why prospecting and recruiting could actually be destroying your business... why a business opportunity is
literally the last thing you want to be selling and... how to make money REGARDLESS of whether you sponsor anyone or not, then The Renegade Network Marketer is the life raft you've been desperately searching for. It gets my highest recommendation.

The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing has ruffled a few feathers in the network marketing business world and for very good reason.

Ann Sieg has compiled a short 35 page report aimed at the 95% of MLM'ers struggling to build their businesses. I must admit, as a seasoned network marketer, I was a little concerned with the title, The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing, because despite multi level marketing being a tough business to succeed in, I get defensive when people start slamming it.

Sure, network marketing has it's flaws but it's hard to argue with the fact it is still one of the best vehicles for many of us to create sustainable wealth, After reading the report I sat back and thought... "Ann, controversial headline but girl, you've just about hit the nail on the head!"

Ann mentions in the opening section she wrote the book for those struggling hard to even make an impression on their business. She says attending countless meetings, setting up appointment after appointment, following the advice of her upline and still being in debt after two years made her think there had to be a better way.

How much of the previous paragraph resonates with you?

You know, many of us know something's not working yet whether it's upline propaganda or we just don't want to admit to ourselves we are just spinning our wheels because we are basically admitting defeat is a part of human nature which must be baffling for most of us.

Ann finally figured out how to stop spinning her wheels. She says most of what we have been taught about building a network marketing business is wide of the mark.

Is she right? Here are some interesting stats I found on the network marketing business opportunity:

- between 70-80% of distributors will "throw in the towel" in the first three months
- over 95% never make it past the 12 month mark
- almost 80% will not know the feeling of sponsoring someone into their business

So with statistics like that, why would anyone consider MLM? Who's lying and who's telling the truth.

In writing this MLM review I kept an open mind but after reading Ann Sieg's report several times, it became clear this is a business which requires focus and discipline.

As a super guide with Renegade Professional this review could have been rather biased but after thinking about it for some time and looking at other Renegade Professional reviews out there, it seems many are missing the point of joining when they re-open the doors on June 22nd.

Is any membership training service perfect? No. And Renegade Professional is definitely not perfect. If there is a drawback it's the amount of training contained within the membership area. There is lots of it.

For someone new to online marketing it could be somewhat overwhelming and it's proven that too much information can literally force someone into paralysis analysis. One of the problems with being confronted with a ton of training is most people are confused about where to start.

Getting off the starting blocks is vital and when any training service is presented to people, there needs to be a clear indication of what to do first.

Renegade Professional Super Guides

Now Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler could have easily crammed as much training into Renegade Professional and left it and it still would have been worth the small membership fee to join but they have gone a step further and this is what sets this training environment apart from most of the others.

Sieg and Klingler have implemented a super guide system and any new member joining is allocated a guide for those moments they get stuck on something or simply want some advice about how to tackle their marketing.

When Renegade Professional re-launched earlier this year the doors were closed quickly after the initial spots were filled. Sieg and Klingler wanted to see how the Renegade Professional system would handle the workload and after several months of testing, it's been given the green light.

And one of the biggest compliments has been directed towards the super guides system. Having someone you can phone or shoot an email to makes a big difference. It is living proof that there are real people behind the Renegade training curtain who care about the progress of their students.

Renegade Professional is re-launching on Monday June 22nd and you can take a free tour before they open their doors by taking a sneak peak under the hood at Renegade University.

Renegade Breakthrough has launched and the main question filtering through to my inbox from interested network marketers is "What is it and can it help me?"

Here's my take on Renegade Breakthrough - if you are not an action taker then it's most certainly not for you. There is nothing worse than shelling out big money for training and then simply doing nothing with it.

Too many times people get caught in the hype of a product launch and many buy without giving thought to whether it's what they really need. Then they either refund or as I said earlier, just sit on it.

Here's a quote I live by and so should you if you're serious about taking your network marketing business to new heights...

"Action Leads To Motivation"...

Without action nothing ever happens. Many get it the wrong way round. They believe it takes motivation to get into action. How many people listen to motivation tape after motivation tape hoping that some day, they'll hear something that will inspire them to take action.

It's as if some magical force will take over their body and suddenly they'll start to build their business. This is the paralysis analysis phase where over analyzing something to death will achieve nothing but an empty bank balance. Fear is a major reason for this.

Why You Should Buy Renegade Breakthrough

So should you buy Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring? I can't answer that only to say that if you're serious about getting the type of training that comes along once in a lifetime designed to put business growth on steroids and you're action-oriented, then it's for you.

But before you buy make sure your mindset is right. Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler have proven without any shadow of a doubt that their sole purpose in life is to see as many network marketers succeed in their business as possible. It's kind of a self-fulfilling prohecy for them for want of a better description.

I encourage you to go into Renegade Breakthrough without any thoughts of refund. If you do then you're on the backfoot immediately. This is a 12 module course. It's the same blueprint for success Sieg and Klingler have used and are using today to build their million dollar businesses. Now they are going to show you step-by-step. When you grab a spot, get stuck into the training immediately and don't surface until you've completed it. Do as they say and do.

Remember, over the first seven days Sieg and Klingler will let you have 12 months free access to Renegade Professional, the perfect compliment for Renegade Breakthrough. This also applies to current Renegade Professional members.

Remember, action leads to motivation!

If you had the opportunity to get one on one time with either Ann Sieg or Mike Klingler of The Renegade Professional wouldn't you grab the opportunity with both hands?

What if you had the chance to get both of them on the same day, in the same room live in person for an entire day? If you are serious at all about building your online business then the answer would be a resounding yes!

Sieg and Klingler have given us a solid grounding in the use of attraction marketing over the past few weeks but when Renegade Professional goes live on Thursday, April 2nd, ten fortunate members will have double reason for celebrating getting one of the limited spots which will be made available.

One On One Coaching With Sieg And Klingler

Let's get one thing straight though, getting one of these super spots is not the reason to join Renegade Professional. If you are thinking along these lines then think again.

The main reason you want to get into the Renegade Professional membership is simply because it will fast track your business growth with the expert training being made available within it's coaching environment. And while immediate results are great, the long term results you'll experience will be priceless.

Sieg and Klingler are two of the most sought after coaches, not just in network marketing but internet marketing, in the world. Their success online and their intimate knowledge of how to extract every ounce of juice from their promotions make them candidates for online marketing wanted posters.

Getting an opportunity to have them in the same room teaching you one on one for a full day is the type of coaching most couldn't afford. For example, for just one hour of coaching with either will set you back $1500. Multiply this by up to eight times and you can appreciate how valuable this bonus really is.

But the good news is, even if you miss this opportunity you will still have them as part of the training crew assembled for Renegade Professional.

One more thing - Renegade Professional coaching is for serious business builders only. If you are serious about building immediate and lasting business income then it's for you. If not, give it a miss.

If you haven't got yourself on the early bird notification list yet then there is good reason to do so. An early registration link will be going out tomorrow one hour before the general public get a chance to join. The likelihood is, most if not all spots will be gone. You can grab an early bird spot by grabbing The Attraction Marketer's Manifesto.

Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler have joined forces to take online attraction marketing to the next level.

Sieg recently followed up to her industry standard course on attraction marketing The Renegade Network Marketer, with The Attraction Marketer's Manifesto while Klingler provided the step-by-step training with The Renegade Professional.

There has been plenty going on the behind the scenes over the past two months as they prepare to roll out the network marketing event of 2009, Renegade Professional.

But in the meantime, they have produced a series a online attraction marketing training videos which you can access free right now.

The exciting aspect is these training videos provide the step-by-step training network marketers with little to no idea on how to use many of the online resources to build their business, can simply start implementing right away.

Online Attraction Marketing 101

These videos will be available right up to launch date, somewhere towards the end of March. They contain some cutting edge training but the best part is, they are perfectly aimed at inexperienced and experienced network marketers alike.

Here are some examples of what Sieg and Klingler reveal and teach:

- They discuss how and why online attraction marketing will impact your business in the first video

- One of the key concepts Klingler talks about is what he calls, "leveraging the news" - something I've never heard anyone else talk about before. This will show you how to take advantage of hot trends and current events that are going on right now to generate more leads for your business. It's really simple to put into use.

- Klingler also reveals how to leave every other marketing method in the dust! Every other method, that is, besides what Mike calls "social marketing." Using sites like YouTube, Squidoo and Facebook to attract hot, interested leads who are ready to spend money --with you! And Mike shows you how to do this so much more easily than you ever imagined.

- Klingler walks you through the process - one click at a time - of how to start promoting your own products and opportunity right away... not someone else's system.

Online attraction marketing has never been this easy to implement now that there is a training ground which actually walks you through it step-by-step. These online attraction marketing videos are available for free. If you haven't gotten started yet online, that will all change by the time you're done with these.

One of the main reasons why people fail in network marketing is because they don't make money fast enough.

This message will resonate with the majority of MLM'ers yet, this has happened for years and it has taken revolutionists like Ann Sieg to make people aware that they need to change their focus and direction if they are going to become successful in network marketing.

Sieg has recently released an updated version of her hard-hitting report, The Renegade Network Marketer. You can read a review of the original version on this page.

The Renegade Network Marketer hasn't been available for too long, it was released in June, 2007 yet it's impact has been profound. Many were critical of her claims that the marketing had gone out of network marketing and she perhaps went a little overboard with her criticism.

Sieg won a lot of respect though because she called it like it was and backed up her criticisms with solutions. In her updated version, she has added some valuable information on marketing which was well covered in the first edition. However, with the support from some of the most respected names in internet marketing such as Ken Evoy of SBI! fame, Sieg seems determined in her mission to snap many MLMers out of the time warp they find themselves in regarding the use of old, outdated prospecting methods.

Pre-selling is an art form not many have mastered yet those who have, literally exploded their conversion rates overnight. Ken Evoy is a master of pre-selling and his association with The Renegade Network Marketer means one thing for your business;it's going to get an injection of expert advice and Sieg explains how SBI! will become an asset in building your MLM business.

One of the benefits of having a website in network marketing is to give your prospects a "go to" place to visit so they can either receive valuable information from you or opt into your mailing list to receive a newsletter, free reports or any other useful information you can drip to them over a period of time. And that's the key.

That's what pre-selling is all about and it's covered in the update of The Renegade Network Marketer. The principle of the Renegade System is to show you how to create cash flow from day one in your business.

The reason most people fail in network marketing is because they don't make money fast enough. The Renegade Network Marketer will show you how to overcome this problem and put yourself in the black very quickly.

Internet network marketing secrets are a dime a dozen. The simple fact is there really is no one secret in networking which will suddenly transform you into a Diamond Director.

But, there is one thing which is so overlooked and ignored that it could quite easily be considered a secret of internet network marketing. In simple terms, it's consistent effort.

Cause and effect is such a powerful universal law that unless you are living by it then it's likely you are struggling in your internet network marketing business. Learning how to run your business online must seem like a big mountain to climb especially when you've only ever used your computer to send and receive emails.

But the truth is, once you learn the basics and gain more confidence working online in your business it really is no different than working offline. What do I mean by this. Simply it's a matter of rinse and repeat - find what's working and then keep repeating it over and over again.

And the best way to get on top of this learning curve and on the right side of the ledger in this business is to simply be consistent in what you do everyday.

So to that effect, just "dipping your toe in the water" won't cut it. Massive action is required but this doesn't mean you can't work smart either.

Getting back to the secret mentioned earlier the one mark many network marketers miss is haphazard promotion. When you combine massive action with direct and targeted marketing you'll move networking mountains.

Right now, the opportunity to build your business has never been bigger. With almost 3 million jobs lost in the US alone in the last year that means there is a massive audience out there ready to receive your message.

Get your message in front of these people and your prospect funnel will swell. Targeting your promotions to those looking for it is one of the secrets of network marketing you should be living by everyday.

So what separates a successful internet network marketer from a struggling one? In a recent webinar conducted by one of the leading internet marketers online, Howie Schwartz, he suggested that to stay ahead of the competition you need to be doing at least 5% more.

Makes sense and one area internet network marketers can "get the drop" on their competition is during holiday times. With Christmas and the new year upon us and about to pass, have you used the holiday atmosphere as an excuse to slacken off the pace and take your foot off the pedal?

Those with a real success mindset would have used the 5% extra rule. For example, in my case I ramped up my article marketing efforts even further.

Instead of accepting that 2008 was a job well done the last month was spent doing the extra 10-20% to make sure I get a running start in 2009. In many cases, it simply takes writing an extra article or two, making an extra post on your blog, updating your web 2 properties more often or making an submitting an extra video to You Tube.

These are just basic examples but you get the picture. So what effect can this have on your business? Well, even though many looking for opportunities may slacken off their searches during holiday times by putting your promotions out there, you're getting traction in the search engines. By the time others awake from their slumber, you will have already done an extra months work and have your promotions indexed and gaining attraction.

Look at it as some type of bonus start. While your competitors will be "blowing off the cobwebs" and wondering where to start you are "making hay while the sun shines" and getting traffic to your sites.

To be successful in internet network marketing then that extra 5% at a minimum must be part of your action plans especially when you are getting established. The truth is, with an ailing economy more and more people are coming online and that means two things - more opportunity seekers and yes, more competitors.

Can you remember when the catch cry in network marketing was to sell the dream?

It was part of most marketing campaigns yet things are changing slightly although it's still a very important aspect of attracting prospects.

Internet network marketing has changed the landscape with recession-hit people looking online for work at home opportunities.

As an internet network marketer, one of the things that bothers this author is the number of people who get sold on the dream but get stuck in the tunnel without realizing that unless they take action then their dream will remain just that - a dream.

Even worse than this are those marketers who sell someone the dream but leave a lot of questions unanswered in their product which means their subscriber gets just enough for the time being but then will need to part with more money to get another piece of the puzzle later on.

In internet network marketing, unless you are giving your prospect the whole "boot and caboodle" you'll find them heading for the exit door quick smart. Don't play savvy marketer and sell it to them bit by bit.

You aim is to break down those trust barriers from the moment they enter your sales funnel. You'll be amazed at what can be achieved if you start feeding them value-added information from the start.

It's a fact that you are on trial as soon as your prospect comes into your "parlor." What you do now will have a huge impact on whether they stay with you or look for someone who is willing to teach rather than sales pitch them. Most of the time, internet network marketing prospects just want to know there is a real person at the other end of the email.

What better way than breaking down the trust barriers by giving them an email they can contact you through or even better, a phone number they can speak with you directly or leave a message on.

It's amazing the number of times prospects remark after returning their emails and calls that they simply assumed that they were bogus contact details. You can almost feel the trust barriers melt away instantly when you let them know you're there and ready to answer their questions.

Can you see how powerful this is and once those walls are cleared and you continue to give them value then it's a fair bet they'll want to know more about your internet network marketing business.

One of the hardest things to understand for people in internet network marketing is why people won't sign up right away.

Well, the answer to this is two-fold. Firstly, if someone comes across your marketing promotion they don't know you and secondly, studies consistently show it takes about four to seven contacts with a prospect before they will buy from you.

The second statistic is interesting. It raises the question of just how many sign ups network marketers have let slip through their business by giving up on them after just a couple of contacts. How much money do you think has been left on the table?

In other words, by giving up on a prospect after the first couple of contacts could have cost you dearly. Many will simply say..."well, they weren't interested so I'm not wasting my time and looking for someone who is interested."

This makes sense if a prospect flat out tells you not to contact them again but if they don't, what are you planning to do to take them from the suspicious state of mind to one which begins to trust you as someone who really can help them achieve their goals in internet network marketing?

This is what separates the successful business builders from the unsuccessful ones. At this point, a savvy networker will have in place a system to provide their prospects with plenty of value.

The truth is, you should begin training prospects from the time they enter your funnel. This is a sure way to start building the trust you need to create between yourself and them.

Forget the sales pitch and temper the urge to present it as soon as the prospect enters your business funnel. Yes, you're excited about your opportunity and can't wait to share it but do you think your prospect is in your space because of how great your company is.

No, it's more than likely they want something else such as creating a stable financial future and something in your message resonated with them. Instead of the sales pitch, give them more training and education and watch the barriers between them and you begin to dissipate.

Have you ever thought about the people who have given up on something after pouring a ton of work into it but not seeing immediate results.

No, I'm not talking about "flogging a dead horse" where the chances of success are null and void. I'm talking about putting in plenty of sweat equity into something that takes a little time to produce results but not having the patience to see it through because instant gratification is not there.

Network marketing is a long term business - it takes time to build a successful MLM business. Internet network marketing is no different yet I've seen some give up recently after putting in some real work.

The truth is, if network marketing is not working for you at the moment then it's more than likely you need to take a fresh new perspective to how you are running your business.

For example, how is your lead generation doing? If you are thinking about giving it up then probably not too well. Lead generation is the lifeblood of any networking business and without them you won't build much of a business.

If you are still laboring with offline recruitment and prospecting methods then this is the area where you need to be prepared to take a fresh approach and consider something different.

It's amazing how many networkers are still resisting the internet as their main lead generation source. My question is why wouldn't you use a medium that works 24/7 365 days a year putting your message in front of a targeted audience instead of chasing down prospects one by one who in most cases, haven't even requested to see your message?

You see, sometimes you need to take a step back and look at your business and analyze what's working and whether if you continue doing tomorrow what you're doing today, whether anything is going to change in the positive results stakes. Chances are strong it won't so instead of giving up, try something new and more importantly, try something that will put the odds in your favor.

Recently had a discussion with a prospect interested in The Renegade system. Thought it was worth mentioning here because it brought up an issue which prevents most internet network marketers from having success even before they've started.

It's the issue of mindset and without the proper mindset from the start, you can just about forget about making any inroads on the road to success.

The question which had me a little worried was..."How long before I break even?"

Seems a harmless enough question but it's one I get on a regular basis and it's a reflection of a failing attitude. Essentially, it means "well I don't expect to do any good with this opportunity but tell me how long before I can break even anyway."

My response is always "are you looking at building a long term business or to make a quick buck." Let's be honest, building a network marketing business is not get rich quick. You see, the mindset has a lot to do with succeeding in internet network marketing.

By wondering when you're going to break even means you're focusing on the wrong things. Sure, you're going to be worried about expense but that's part and parcel with starting most businesses. The question I like to hear is "what can I do to give value to my prospects?"

It gets back to giving value first and when you do this and earn a prospect's trust then magic does really happen. By going in with a "when will I break even" attitude a person is basically entering a business with a defeatist mind.

And as soon as an obstacle is thrown in their path then their first reaction will be to quit, not because it's too hard but because they will be thinking about whether they should risk an other autoship payment.

Instead of thinking when you are going to start to break even wouldn't it be better to set very easy goals short term which you can achieve. For example, start with setting a goal of getting your first prospect followed by a goal of getting five prospects in a week, then five more the next week and so on.

These are easy goals to achieve with the Renegade system.

In the fourth and final part of this article series, we will take you through constructing a resource box designed to get clicks.

One of the most heart-breaking things I see all too often is a marketer who has done a good job in getting a reader all the way through an article yet has completely missed the mark with their resource box.

I'm not sure what it is but far too many marketers either refuse to want to put the effort into their resource box, or they are so caught up in the excitement of having an article published that they devote all their energy in telling readers just how good they are and their life accomplishments.

Big Mistake!!!

We spoke in the previous article about leaving the closer out of your article content. Why? Because your resource box is your closer. This is where you need to show the reader you both understand the problem they have and have a solution for them.

One of the best ways to do this is to actually create the problem and then solve it in your resource box. Does that make sense?

You see, the biggest mistake I see marketers make is to go on about themselves and their achievements. The truth is, no matter what you've achieved the reader doesn't really care. It's not about you, it's about them.

That's why they are reading your article because you've attracted them to it via a keyword phrase they've typed into a search engine and found your piece supposedly offering the solution to their problem. The last thing they are in the mood for is to read your resume.

A powerful way to get someone to your site is to create a problem and then offer a solution in your resource box. Here's an example:

"Did you know more than 90% of network marketers fail within three months of starting a network marketing business? Become one of the 10% who get past the MLM breakwater..."

This is just an example but can you see how powerful this can be? The visitor is already looking at your article with a problem he/she wants solved. First you confirm their emotion and then offer them the solution.

So less of you in the resource box and more about the reader and you'll enjoy a much bigger click through success rate.

Remember, you can always fast track your internet network marketing success by visiting Mike Klingler's Renegade Professional.

So far in this article marketing series we've covered targeting the right keyword and constructing an article title that gets attention.

Here's the truth...if you've completed the first two stages correctly then there is every chance the person about to read your article is a hungry buyer.
Why? Because you've used a long tail key phrase with a buyer's mindset and the article title is confirming what the visitor is after.

The other important point is the reader is probably looking for a solution to a specific problem and sees you as a possible solutions provider. So your content had better back up what the title is promising. More important is you need to keep the reader interested beyond the first couple of paragraphs.

So the first thing you need to do is get straight to the point. Remember, the person reading your article is more than likely a hungry buyer or someone in the process of making a buying decision. If the first few paragraphs of your article are simply fluff then you'll lose them.

People want fast answers online so give them something very early in your article. One of the things I like to do is create a problem associated with what your key phrase and title is. This is powerful as people will immediately associate their situation with what you're writing about.

Then you offer them the solution without giving away the farm. Your aim is to give them enough to get them to your resource box and guide them to your site.

Two other very important aspects about constructing article content is the format of the article and the closer.

If someone comes to your article and all they see is a couple of paragraphs it's going to look like hard work to read and you'll probably lose them. Avoid making your article look bunched. In other words, spread it out with no more than two to three sentences per paragraph.

And as far as a closer is concerned, avoid writing one. Many writers undo there good work by finishing with something like...I hope you enjoyed these tips and thank you very much for reading.

That's giving them a license to leave and you don't want that. You want them to read your resource box so avoid closing.

Your last point should be your content closer and your resource box is your main closer or last paragraph. Don't be afraid to leave them hanging because by wanting more, there's every chance they will follow your link in your resource box.

Remember, you can always fast track your internet network marketing success by visiting Mike Klingler's Renegade Professional.

Just like choosing a keyword phrase to base your article around, constructing a compelling headline needs to be well thought out.

Remember though, whatever headline you come up with, you better make sure your content reflects what the headline is stating.

Article Title

Your article title is the window to your article. It's like window shopping; you pass by a store, stop and look at the display in the window and if you like it, you go inside and check it out.

That's exactly what your article title is going to do. It's going to firstly attract the attention of the search engines and secondly, the reader.

When you tackle an article from the point of view of being a solutions provider, then your title needs to reflect this.

Most visitors online are looking for answers or solutions and they are looking for them fast. If you can catch their attention within your niche in your title then you've got "runners on first base."

Maximizing your article title for maximum benefit in the search engines means giving it a little extra juice. Many network marketers applying article marketing to their attraction marketing process are falling down badly in this area.

Lame titles will produce lame results with the serps and even if someone does come across your article it's unlikely they will read past the title.

So to maximize your chances of getting noticed by the search engines try using your keyword more than once in the title when possible. Now this is going to be governed a lot by how long your phrase is but we suggest at least one and a half times.

For example, Network Marketing Success - How To Gain Success In Network Marketing.

Can you see what we've done here. Network marketing success being our keyword phrase. We mention it first and then again in the follow up even though it's split up. This will leave no doubt whatsoever what this article is about to the search engines when they go looking for the above search term after it's typed into the search box.

Remember, you can always fast track your internet network marketing success by visiting Mike Klingler's Renegade Professional.

Marketing and promotion is the key factor in the attraction marketing process and article marketing is still the most effective way for network marketers to get this process going online.

But many still make a lot of mistakes and like the old prospecting methods which were very much hit and miss, many use article marketing in exactly the same way.

We will cover the four main ingredients of article marketing in this series starting with keywords and if you are a Renegade Network Marketer or thinking about adopting Ann Sieg's blueprint then you'll want to pay particular attention to this training.

Keywords

Keywords are the crucial first step. Writing an article without targeting a keyword or keyword phrase is indirect article marketing. The article may be well written and be full of good information but it will confuse the heck out of the search engines.

Keywords are the fodder the search engines feed on. When someone types a phrase into their favorite search engine they are looking for information related to that particular phrase.

For example, if you are looking for information on internet network marketing you would type that in and be presented with a list of options.

Now if your article is not optimized for a specific keyword and related terms then it's really not going to rank for anything. In fact, it may even be a case of whatever words you use in the title, will be the words that rank. This is untargeted and hit and miss.

So always target a specific keyword. We suggest targeting long tail phrases. Phrases of three or more words. They are easier to rank for and while there will be less people searching for them, they are more focused and people typing them in are usually on a mission, have made up their mind that this is what they want and are generally close to making a buying decision.

So someone typing in learn internet network marketing is likely to be more inclined to buy than someone simply typing in network marketing. The latter will be searching more out of curiosity.

So always frame your articles around a specific keyword phrase and look for terms that indicate a person is focused just on that particular term.

We'll continue this series with a look at constructing article titles next. Remember, you can always fast track your internet network marketing by visiting Mike Klingler's Renegade Professional.

Got into an interesting discussion recently on the law of attraction vs. cause and effect.

It came about when I was contacted by a member on my Renegade Network Marketer list who let me know nothing was happening in their business. I asked what he had done to get things moving. The response shocked me!

"Well, I applied the law of attraction but nothing is happening. I'm thinking all the right thoughts and I'm okay in my personal life but I want to attract people into my business and they aren't coming."

This is not the first time I've got this and I want to preface that I do believe in the law of attraction but it's not the law I live by. My favorite law is that of cause and effect and after a couple of solid training sessions with my list member, we had him on the right track and doing more cause than thinking.

The Renegade system is only going to work if you apply it. Which then brings up another issue. Most network marketers who read The Renegade Network Marketer are excited about the possibilities but struggle with the how because working online is new to them.

However, the solution is simple. Enter Mike Klingler and the Renegade Professional. When I talk about cause and effect, then applying what is taught in the Renegade book means using the resources available to you online and Klingler is very effective in his training methods at Renegade Professional.

The problem with many potential successful network marketers is they'll come across a blueprint like the Renegade system and sit on it. The intentions are in the right place but unless you make something happen nothing will.

You need to cause something; it won't appear out of thin air in magical fashion and the cause in this case is "getting your hands dirty" and diving into the Renegade Professional training grounds.

It's a great feeling to see something happen as a result of action. Imagine performing several positive actions and watching the momentum build to eventually produce a torrent of results.

Network marketers are fast finding out the benefits of owning online real estate. In other words, having a website online and did you know, your own site is like a store front window.

However, a network marketing website should not be the kind of store front window displaying the latest specials. Do that in this business and you'll quickly have visitors hitting the back button!

Ken Evoy of Site Build It! fame recognized the network marketing power of owning a website long ago yet it's only been in the past year that MLMers are finally honing in on that power.

The reason is the emergence of the Renegade Network Marketer system where Ann Sieg laid out a match winning blueprint for shifting one's network marketing business online.

But back to owning your own network marketing website. Evoy is adamant network marketers need to understand the concept of attraction marketing and pre-selling before putting their own piece of real estate online. In other words, forget the sales pitch but cater to your prospect's needs and that's education and training.

Many network marketers ask the question..."how do I promote my MLM business online when my company won't let me promote them publicly?" The short answer is, you don't.

Confused?

Well, this is what we were getting at when we spoke about attraction marketing and pre-selling. Your website shouldn't be a sales pitch about your company. Instead, it needs to be teaching visitors, educating them and training them on various aspects of running a home business.

Alternatively, if your company is based on nutrition, technology or any other product line instead of blasting out how great the products are, you'll instead provide information about the topic related to your site.

For example, if you are promoting nutrition products, you provide useful content on nutrition, it's benefits, it's downside, what happens when you ignore nutrition, how nutrition affects your body cells, cellular regeneration and degeneration and the list goes on.

Can you see the point here? Educate your prospects and brand yourself as someone who knows what they are talking about. This is powerfully built into the Site Build It! education and site building process and one of the reasons it's stood the test of time.

One of the keys to moving forward in your work at home business is not letting sentimentality get in the way.

Network marketers are guilty of this everyday. To paraphrase, sentimentality is not letting go of something that's not working. It applies to your marketing strategies and also to your down line.

In other words, hanging on to a strategy you have been using which is consuming too much of your time or letting go of someone in your down line who simply is not doing anything to help themselves.

A work at home business requires getting out of your comfort zone and testing new strategies until you find those that work and dismiss those that don't.

When it comes to a non productive down line member, use the analogy of three strikes and you're out. Over the course of a couple of weeks, provide them with some initial help by way of tasks but if you get the dreaded excuse each time they don't meet their time line simply let them know your time is valuable and you have others you need to get with to train.

Then let them go. When we say let them go, they need to be contacting you for help instead of you continually doing the chasing. It's unproductive and will hamper your efforts to move forward.

While this may sound harsh the reality is, while an unproductive down line may mean well, the truth is, they can suck your time and energy which will be better directed to those willing to move forward.

It's definitely the 80/20 rule at play here because 20% or less will be producing most of your volume.

You've got to understand that many people in a work at home business such as network marketing may just be happy to get the products at cost or simply want to belong to something. That's a fact.

So don't dismiss them from your correspondence lists by any means but just be wary of where you are directing your productive time.

While someone may be close to you such as a relative or friend and you feel obligated to devote some extra time with them, if they are not reciprocating your efforts simply move on and find what is working.

Some hard decisions need to be made but if you don't make them your progress will be hampered significantly.

Have you been a regular network marketing forum visitor? There are plenty of them online and there's no shortage of people looking for their prospects in them.

How do you feel when someone constantly throws their company and products at you without doing anything to earn your trust?

It's a legitimate question because as the title suggests, a lot of the time it's like watching a one-up-man-ship competition with the winner walking away with the...well, in most cases, they walk away empty handed and one more frustration closer to quitting.

In a recent call to a new prospect who downloaded The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing, what was supposed to be an introductory call and simply a "break the ice" connection to just say hello, turned into a 30 minute one way conversation where I was hammered from start to finish about this person's company and it's products.

So what was wrong with this scenario? Plenty! It was obvious the prospect's only motivation was to try and get me to take a look at his business opportunity and the only way he knew how to get through to me was by ramming it down my mouthpiece.

Seriously, I got about three words in and they were to the effect of hmmm...hmmm...hmmm. He'd lost me after 30 seconds.

The sad part is, this is generally the way most networkers behave. What made it worse is I let him know I was already working a successful business but it didn't deter his mission to try and convert me over.

That was a classic case of a desperate marketer with no idea on what it takes to firstly, convince the prospect that he was genuinely concerned about my goals and aspirations and secondly, he gave me no valuable advice or resources that I could take away and use.

What made this a joke was that he was supposed to be the prospect, not me yet as a hardened network marketer, it's the type of stuff you get used to.

If you take anything away from this article it's this...unless you're using attraction marketing in your network marketing business whether it's online or offline, you simply will continue to struggle to bring long lasting business builders into your organization. It's as simple as that.

This may hit a nerve or two but are you really an inter-network marketer or just a devotee of information.

In other words, is your appetite for information so insatiable that you spend most of your time either reading, watching or listening to the latest ground-breaking information.

I bring this up because there is a a large group of inter-network marketers who can be labeled as simply followers. That is, they know what they need to do but are happy to just sit on information and continue to consume more as it comes along.

But the worrying part is when they think of themselves as an internet-network marketer. The truth is, they're not. They are consumers and stuck in that tunnel that takes someone from the starting point to achieving their goals.

They are somewhere between the start about a tenth of the way along the journey.

To be successful in anything then action is required and without it, nothing will happen. Self belief is one thing and you can never have enough while learning is another and it's important to stay abreast of the latest techniques but the fuel which makes everything come together is good old fashioned action.

I live by the rule of cause and effect. Whatever gets done in my business is expected to have an effect but more importantly, while it may not be instant, the repercussions down the track are what counts.

If you are an internet network marketer and are stuck in that phase of paralysis analysis then there is one vehicle currently available which can break those limiting chains.

It's called Renegade Professional set up by Mike Klingler who realized in late 2007, that while The Renegade Network Marketer laid out a strong blueprint for capitalizing on the internet to build a network marketing business, there was a definite lack of how to information.

He solved that by creating The Renegade Professional training grounds and for any of you struggling to understand how all this stuff works, then you owe it to yourself to grab a free tour.

Busting a learning curve wide open requires a good degree of visual how to and Klingler has delivered plenty of video tuition.

Remember, by completing one task each day will soon build into a raging torrent for your network marketing business and you will begin to appreciate the power behind the term cause and effect.

Part of the process of being successful at attraction marketing is having the ability to get your prospect to identify with who you are.

A recent new addition to my team needed some one-on-one time about promoting herself and her business. Her main concern was her writing ability. She said she couldn't write.

Well, I believe everyone can write so I set her an assignment. Create a Squidoo Lens and add at least three pieces of content to it.

She felt challenged but had the lens up and running in a day. When I checked her content I was floored.

"Can't write. You've got to be kidding!"

Turns out her main concern was how she would convey who she was, her dreams and her aspirations to her readers. She loves to chat and is a real conversationalist. There was the answer.

She wrote her lens in a conversational style which created two things - a connection with her readers and that she was just like them...on the look out for a way to improve her current lot in life.

More importantly, she gave her readers value citing several things they could implement to improve their personal and financial situations.

At no stage did she shove her network marketing opportunity at them and yell..."Look, sign here or else!"

One of the reasons we like the Site Build It! model so much for network marketers is the training and guidance given on how to get both the attraction marketing and pre-selling aspects of the business working for you.

It's no secret but if you give your readers value then they are going to stick around and bookmark your site and return over and over.

Ken Evoy has no peer in implementing the art of both attraction marketing and pre-selling and this is one of the reasons a Site Build It ! site will not only stand the test of time online, but will rank well as it grows.

Create the perfect pre-sell website and take the power of attraction marketing to the ultimate level. Websites are easy to create when you build with Site Build It!.

One of the most frustrating aspects of network marketing is a seemingly unproductive downline.

We're you ever told at the beginning - some will, some won't. Well, the truth is, some will, the majority won't.

In other words, your business will grow it's foundation initially on a select few of your distributors while the unproductive ones will either drop out or be happy to take the product.

Can you do anything about this? Do you need to put on a drill sargent uniform and start kicking some but. Definitely not!

Here's something you need to realize which can save you frustration and valuable time and better still, boost your bottom line.

Simply work with those individuals who really want to build a business and have "all their ducks in a row."

Don't get disappointed when people in your downline don't appear to be doing anything.

Why?

Because the reality is, they may not be ready just yet, they are happy getting their products on autoship or the worst case scenario is, they shouldn't be there.

The last point is important. When people don't want to be there then look at your recruitment methods. Did these people come seeking you? If they didn't then how did you recruit them in your business. Are they family or friends who you asked to take a look at your opportunity?

The bottom line is and this is going to sound harsh...don't waste too much time and energy on trying to get these people to take some action if your efforts up to this stage have proven futile.

It could actually make or break you as network marketer. In other words, the time you waste trying to inspire people who simply don't want inspiration could be better spent with your productive people.

Because by helping the producers, you will create momentum within them which will carry on to their down line.

These productive associates will duplicate your intensity and effort and this will have a flow on effect.

Just remember that guy Pareto and his 80/20 rule. It's a timeless statistic.

There is a new trend emerging in the network marketing world. Yes, The Renegade Network Marketer has been responsible for the attraction marketing and pre-sell boom but we're talking about community based network marketing.

In a nutshell, community based network marketing is about using a person's strengths within an organization and capitalizing on them.

The result is, when everyone is working to their own strengths and not being burdened with tasks they are unskilled at the leverage and momentum created can be quite devastating.

Occupy The City is a community based network marketing group who's sole aim is to focus on making each and everyone of it's members work towards one common goal - success for everyone.

Here's the problem when someone joins a network marketing company - they have to be:

- salesperson
- interviewer
- recruiter
- motivator
- trainer

Can you see where this is going? For someone inexperienced in running a business the overwhelm factor will set in and before you know it, they drop out.

In other words, a person may be good at recruiting but hates the thought of speaking with their prospect, not because they don't want to but because of the fear factor and yes, this is the case with a good majority of network marketers.

Picture this...what if this was you and you had the attraction marketing skills and could bring in an endless supply of leads.

Now what if the leads were then handled by an experienced interviewer with strong people skills and understood the art of pre-selling to a tee.

Don't you think the sign up rate would be increased? This is one of the strengths of Occupy The City and the reason why the join rate is into the double figures.

One of the aspects of running a successful community based network marketing business is staying in touch with members.

This is achieved through regular meetings as a group and also individual get togethers as sub groups.

People can be separated into categories such as internet marketing, sales and content and writing but all working towards one purpose - that is the ultimate goal of the group to achieve financial success for everyone involved.

It's a powerful concept and if you have tried and failed at network marketing in the past and think you have something to offer, then a community based network marketing business will suit you admirably.

Occupy The City can change your life...but only if you let it.

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that pre-selling is compulsory to maintaining a solid foundation in your network marketing business.

Studying the techniques of Ken Evoy through Site Build It! should be on your to do list if you're really serious about mastering the art of pre-selling.

In inter-network marketing, it's vital if you're using the attraction marketing model outlined by Ann Sieg in The Renegade Network Marketer and if you're not, then you're missing out big time.

I want to share a story about how powerful pre-selling is but it doesn't revolve around network marketing. It actually revolves around a man and a cat.

Yes that's right and it's something this author recently experienced to prove pre-selling can work in just about any situation in life.

Having moved into a new home several months ago it wasn't long before we had a strange visitor suddenly show up in the shape of a cat.

At the time, we thought he belonged to someone within the vicinity of our home and was just doing the rounds. But as the days went by, the cat seemed to have decided our backyard was going to be where he hung out.

It wasn't very old in fact, by my estimations, just a few months and being the animal lover that I am, I decided to name him TJ and see whether I could actually get close to him.

At first, he would have nothing to do with my advances and would continually back away so I decided to leave some dry cat food out for him and see whether he would be interested.

Sure enough, he started to eat the food and when he emptied his bowl, I would leave more for him. But he still wasn't interested in getting close to me.

Hmmm...I then wondered whether I should put the food out there more sparingly. No, what I decided to do was try and coax him towards me with it.

So for several days I would feed him bits and pieces, just enough for him to get more interested.

What was actually happening was he gradually saw me as someone who could fill a need in his life - easy meals and before long, he was actually sitting on my back doorstep looking through our screen door to see where I was.

TJ was beginning to trust me and as each day went by, he would get closer and closer to me when I went outside with his food.

It was only a couple of weeks ago when I made the big breakthrough. Standing outside and holding out a piece of chicken while calling him over, TJ actually was brave enough to approach me ever so slowly and take the food from my fingertips.

As he was eating it, I even managed to pat him on the head a couple of times and he seemed to enjoy it.

It took a couple of months but my point is, by providing TJ with value (the food) as a total stranger from the beginning, I actually pre-sold him on the idea I was someone he could rely on and that comes down to earning his trust.

Yes, I didn't know it at the time but I was getting a strong lesson in preselling. It's what you do in the lead up to your sales pitch which matters.

Provide your new prospects with value from the beginning and it won't matter how good your sales pitch is - they will eventually want to join you. That's the power of preselling.

Are you branding yourself or your company? As a Renegade network marketer, one of the things you're taught is to brand yourself.

That is, it's you your prospects will eventually join and not your company. If you "fly the flag" of the company ahead of yourself when prospecting then you've missed a vital aspect of the attraction marketing process.

You see, the truth is, too many network marketers like to hide behind their company and products and for some reason, are too afraid to put themselves out there.

The problem with this is that the majority are doing exactly the same thing and basically, people are not distinguishing themselves from the next MLMer.

Now one of the benefits with The Renegade Network Marketer is you're encouraged to brand yourself via websites, blogs and Web 2.0 real estate.

But just putting your name to a piece of online real estate won't do the job alone - you need to then stand out from the crowd and provide value.

You may be thinking..."What! Give stuff away for nothing?" - Exactly!

It's part of the pre-sell process. You see, what's the point of getting a prospect who seeks you out and then just hitting them with a sales pitch first up.

Instead of leading with your company, the products or your business opportunity, it's much more powerful to firstly identify why they sought you and what they're goals are.

While you're doing this, you'll obviously be thinking of them in terms of being a future downline member in your business so why not make a good thing of it by training them from the outset.

In other words, give them stuff they can use whether it be advice or training material. Ann Sieg talks about how powerful the pre-sell process is in The Renegade Network Marketer.

This is how Ann described the Pre-sell process:

"The frame in which someone views a message has more
of an impact on their decision than the message itself."

And she emphasized this fact during her association with the King of pre-sell Ken Evoy of Site Build It! fame when they launched the Inter-Network Marketing Contest earlier this year.

The way your prospect views your behavior during the lead up to the "sales pitch" will have a big bearing on whether they even give you the opportunity to pitch them.

Whether it takes a week, a month or three months, your job during this time is to educate your prospect.

Many people will argue..."well, I cannot afford to waste time on educating a prospect because I don't have many people in my downline and I need to build it quickly."

This attitude will not build your downline; it will kill it. It's short term thinking. By using the Renegade system, you should never be in a position of having a lack of prospects to work with.

Attraction marketing + pre-selling equals targeted, well informed prospects plus a stable downline - that makes for a solid business.

There seems to be a some confusion among network marketers migrating their businesses online that their sole focus is being able to promote their company and company's products.

If this is the case with you then you're missing the whole point of attraction marketing.

Having a website means you suddenly have a tool in which you can not only promote yourself but more importantly, attract qualified people into your business funnel.

If building your business is your prime aim, then why would you even consider promoting your company or products ahead of attracting prospects into your funnel? That doesn't make sense.

Ann Sieg produced The Renegade Network Marketer nearly a year ago and it's become the most important book written on network marketing in the past couple of decades.

In the Renegade, she highlights the attraction marketing concept and how a piece of online real estate such as a blog or website can suddenly break through the barriers of distance and bring people into your business from virtually all corners of the planet. Better still, it's working 24/7!

Promoting your company and it's products ahead of your prospect will leave you empty-handed more often than not. What your prospect really wants to know is how you can show and teach them to build their own income stream.

This is the moment when you get to show off your value as a leader. Instead of hyping up your company and products why not start training them from the moment they enter your funnel.

That is, provide them with information they can use right away. Provide value so they can begin to see how the attraction marketing module really works.

By pre-selling them before you even hit them with a sales pitch means you're qualifying yourself as someone who actually cares about what they want and are not out to simply get them into an opportunity so you can brag to your upline about another sign up.

No, if you follow the principles laid out in The Renegade Network Marketer, by the time you're ready to pitch to them, they would have received so much value from you and better still, proper training, that you will more than likely have to save your pitch for another time.

The truth is, with the attraction marketing process in play, you suddenly become your prospect's main focus, not your company. See how powerful that is?

Are you making your network marketing business more complicated than it really should be? In other words, are you spinning your wheels stuck in the same routine without moving forward?

The point we're making is if you've been using a system and not getting results but hanging in there because your upline is telling you too then it's time to move on.

For example, buying leads and spending countless hours on the phone trying to get just one prospect to at least show some interest in your offer so you can run through your sales pitch and hopefully entice them into your business.

You know what, you need to fire your lead generation company first and as hard as this may seem, stop listening to your upline. Yes, that's right, your upline could be seriously jeopardizing your business growth.

The fact is, they probably don't know any better and are more than likely in the same position as you - going one step forward and two steps back.

You're building your network marketing business the hard way. It's more than likely that what you're doing is taking up a lot of your time and that's ok if you're getting results but what's the point if what you have to show for it is more and more debt at the end of each month.

Network marketing is a great vehicle to build long lasting wealth. What you need to understand is it's also simple.

As a Renegade Network Marketer, two of the main ingredients which makes it such a powerful and productive system is it's simplicity and it's cure for lack of leads.

Attraction marketing is so dead simple it's baffling why there are network marketers still calling prospects via lead generation services.

The problem with these is you have no control over your leads. That is, you take what you're given and you have no clue whether these leads have been rinsed over and over by other MLMers.

Attracting leads the Renegade Network Marketer way means the leads are fresh; their new and more importantly, they contact you. So there is very little chance of copping unwarranted verbiage from a prospect wondering who the heck you are.

Do you see the power of doing business this way? You have the carrot - you're in the driver's seat and once you understand the power of attraction marketing you'll probably kick yourself for delaying your decision for so long.

How much importance do you place in the headline of your articles? Without a compelling headline then you're not going to entice a reader to look any further.

You see, the headline is the window to your article. It's like going shopping - you look in the windows of the big department stores and if you like what you see in the display area it's likely you're going to take a further look and enter the store.

Article marketing is much the same. A bland headline isn't appealing to most readers and they will likely hit the back button. You've got to remember, when using the resources available to you offline whether it's a website, a blog or an article, you've only got a split second to capture the reader's attention because research shows they won't hang around.

Another point to remember when crafting a compelling headline is to make it relevant to your article. There's no point writing a great headline and it doesn't relate to the article at all. This is deception and you'll lose credibility.

Remember, a reader is looking for something specific and a solution and if you're trying to attract them to your offer and they land on your page, you better have what they're looking for or they'll be off to get it somewhere else!

As a Renegade Network Marketer article marketing is a big part of your attraction marketing process. If you are having trouble coming to terms with writing a compelling headline then we're going to give you a great starting point.

Here's an excellent method for getting ideas on how to come up with attractive headlines:

1. Do a search for article directories on your favorite search engine. Some of the better known directories include Ezine Articles, Go Articles and Search Warp.

2. These directories generally have a localized search facility within them. Do a search for what ever term you're looking for...for example, Renegade Network Marketer.

3. You will get a list of results. Now check the articles which come up and before you study the headline, look at how many times the article has been viewed. You'll soon get an idea of which articles are more popular by the number of views they've had.

4. Once you have a list then study the headline. Now, can you adopt a similar headline to your article? Don't copy it word for word but look at the words being used around the main keyword such as "Why" "7 Ways" "The Truth" etc.

5. You can do this for any topic and check to see which are the more popular articles and then adopt the same style to your Renegade Network Marketer articles. Look for the words around the main keywords and see if you can use them around your main keywords.

6. Just make sure the headline makes sense and it relates to your article when you write it.

Hands up if you're dissatisfied with your current network marketing company. Truth is, there are probably more hands being raised than you'd think and the cold harsh reality is, network marketers think about and do switch companies...often.

Ann Sieg make a great point in a piece she wrote post Renegade Network Marketer when she assessed the most likely people you need to target when prospecting. Many would have been shocked with the top group but yes, they are network marketers.

Does this surprise you? It shouldn't. Many people who begin their journey as a Renegade Network Marketer ask a very pertinent question - "If we are targeting network marketers then isn't this a little unethical?"

That's a very good question but reality is, you don't target other network marketers when you apply the principles of attraction marketing as outlined by Sieg in The Renegade System. Such is the power of attraction marketing, other network marketers become you're most likely prospect simply because most are dissatisfied with their current business, company or upline.

That's just the way it is. Ask yourself this, are you currently satisfied with the way your network marketing business is performing?

Network marketers are pulled in by the attraction marketing process in droves; like bears to a honey pot. Why? Because the process takes them from one of suspicion to developing a trust and relationship for the person that's prospecting them. That's the power of attraction marketing.

When you are able to win the trust and respect of a prospect over a period of time you can virtually forget the prepared sales pitch you're saving for them. The fact is, they will want to join you because you've demonstrated a certain quality of mentorship and they just want to be a part of it. They want to join you and not your company.

So if you're considering the merits of joining The Renegade Network Marketer and wondering whether you're just be preaching to the converted - don't. Sure there are MLMers attracted into your funnel who are looking for a more potent and successful method of lead generation but be rest assured, a very large percentage are not happy with their current lot or simply in between companies.

With the principles outlined by Ann Sieg in The Renegade Network Marketer and the step-by-step training provided by Mike Klingler at The Renegade Professional, you're well on your way to mastering the skill of attraction marketing and building a responsive down line.

Attraction marketing will position you and your network marketing business in front of the right people - that is, qualified prospects.

One question that often runs across my desk is "how do I learn about attraction marketing?" or "where do I start with attraction marketing?"

Leads are the lifeblood of network marketing. Let me re-phrase that...qualified leads are the lifeblood of network marketing. You've got to be prepared to put most of the old school stuff behind you and adopt online attraction marketing principles.

The problem with the old style methods of network marketing lead sourcing is it's too hit and miss. In fact, if you're looking for a reason why the attrition rate in the industry is so high then this one factor is responsible for a major portion of the 90% of people who drop out within three months.

Why?

Rejection...plain and simple. When you're being rejected on a daily basis you've got to start to question whether network marketing is right for you.

Approaching people "out of the blue" and begging them to take a look at an opportunity is desperate marketing. It won't get results and will eventually drive you right out of your business.

When your self esteem and ego take hits on a daily basis only the strongest willed person can handle that sort of mental abuse and press on by keeping their goals front and center.

The majority will quit declaring this stuff doesn't work and the network marketing industry will suffer yet another image nasty vote of confidence.

But the truth is, this stuff does work and the trick is, putting yourself in front of the right crowd. So how do you do that?

First and foremost, forget the hit and miss lists. Forget buying leads and spending unnecessary expense on phone calls which 9.9 times out of ten result in another rejection.

Instead, consider building a website and start claiming your piece of online real estate. Don't know how to build a website? Try Site Build It! where you'll be guided by one of the internet's master attraction marketers in Ken Evoy.

Build yourself a blog, a Squidoo Lens, a Hub Page - anything which will give you the ability to brand yourself.

What's the point of this article. Simply to remind you that the resources to build your own attraction marketing empire are there. They are all around you. You just need to use them.

How many times have you heard that the marketing system is the key to your network marketing business success?

If you are struggling with your network marketing business right now, have you sat down and analyzed why? Ann Sieg hit the "nail on the head" in the Renegade Network Marketer when she talked about how much devotion and time she spent in MLM yet, just kept spinning her wheels.

In the end, she had to really ask "Is it me or the system I'm working with." The rest is history and shortly after, Sieg produced two revolutionary reports The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and of course, The Renegade Network marketer.

Before you start to point the finger at your network marketing company you need to look at a few things first. Let's take a look at some of the questions you should be asking:

1. Have I given this business my heart and soul?

2. Have I followed the training I'm receiving from my upline to the letter?

3. Can I put more time into my business to generate better results?

4. Is the system I'm using working?

These are all pertinent questions and if you answered yes, yes, no and no, then it may be time to look at either switching companies or finding a better marketing system.

You see, the marketing system you adopt will either make or break you. Today, attraction marketing has become the buzz phrase in network marketing and for very good reason. It could be you're still making lists, attending meetings and talking to anyone who's fair game.

Are you still chasing down your prospects and if so why? Don't you think this conveys desperation on your part and is not conducive to a good business image.

Attraction marketing works the opposite way. You don't chase down and harass your prospects. In fact, if done correctly, they'll chase you down! The principles of attraction marketing are so powerful and when you pre-sell a prospect in the right fashion, then magic happens.

If you are struggling at the moment, then consider getting into an environment which fosters success and teaches step-by-step the correct way to apply attraction marketing.

You just need to take a really good look at your network marketing situation at the moment and ask yourself if it's right for you? Then you need to take a look at the marketing system you're using and asking whether it's helping you or killing your business?

If you're just starting out in network marketing and have a limited budget with no prospects what's the fastest way to get some momentum going in the first 30 days?

Sure, you can make a list and harass friends and family for the next month but will they be willing to duplicate your efforts? Probably not.

Before you even join a network marketing company you need to have a powerful marketing system in place. Without it, getting started and creating momentum is next to impossible.

That's why The Renegade Network Marketer has been a breath of fresh air during the past year but just agreeing with the inter-network marketing principles laid out by Ann Sieg won't get you going.

Your marketing system will include the best "bang for your buck" initially and once you get going and start to make some income, then you can progress to the next step step.

Inter-Network Marketing 30 Day Fast Start Plan

Here's my plan for the first 30 days of commencing in inter-network marketing on a limited budget:

1. Write articles and submit them to article directories. Start out by writing 10 articles on network marketing topics and submit one a day for ten days. Then for the rest of the month submit a fresh article every 2-3 days for the rest of the month. You'll be linking back to the real estate you're going to create below.

2. Re-write those articles so they are unique from the original. You'll then use these articles for the following...

3. Produce a Squidoo lens much like the one you're now reading. It doesn't need to be as comprehensive from the beginning. Create your intro and add at least three articles to it.

4. Go to Hub Pages and create a hub. Add at least two articles to it.

5. Go to Wikidot and create a Wiki like this one. Or like this one. These are examples of utilizing the power of Web 2.0 to promote your business and for free.

6. Once you have created these then spend time searching for good ranking network marketing related blogs. Read them. What you're looking for is opportunities to be able to leave a comment linking back to your Squidoo lens, Hub Page or Wikidot. Make sure you add value to the blogs with your comments. Don't just say "Great blog" or "fantastic stuff." Give your opinion about what the author has written.

This is a simple fast start plan and will begin to get you some traction in your business. About half way through the plan you'll be ready to create your own blog.

Yes it looks like a lot of work but remember, if you're on a limited budget then this is a powerful way to make a presence online. Even better, you will be sharpening your online skills no end.

The Renegade Professional is the perfect training ground to expand on these skills and something you should give serious thought to if you want to take inter-network marketing to the next level.

It's one of the biggest problems network marketers are faced with...motivating their downline. You would think the chance to create a sustainable income which would set someone up for life would be enough of a motivation.

But alas, this is not the case. So what's the problem? Without trying to offend anyone here, then the underlying cause of an unmotivated downline is a person's recruitment methods and the downline themselves.

Let me explain. To be motivated, someone needs to be willing to be motivated otherwise you're just wasting time and resources. That's a fact. One of the problems with the old school MLM recruitment methods is because of the tactics used to attract people into a business, the chances are always strong that they didn't really want to be there in the first place.

In other words, if someone wasn't looking for a business opportunity but decided to take a look anyway to satisfy a friend or relative, then what are the chances that they would want to continue in the business. No amount of motivation will get them going unless they wanted to.

We'll Build Your Downline For You...Ugggh!

Another method which creates problems is the ads luring people into a home business with the promises of riches for very little effort. Yes, it's old school and people being told that they would get their businesses built for them once they joined.

The idea here was to get them into the business and then hope like heck that they would become dazzled by the "ra ra" presentations put on by the company. Sadly, this tactic never really worked and nearly always "fell on it's face."

These people were very much of the get rich quick mentality and would have been better off participating in the lottery.

How To Recruit A Motivated Downline

So, how do you recruit a motivated downline? Simple, you recruit people who really want to be there. How simple is that! It's one of the core principles of the Renegade Network Marketer and Renegade Professional and is based on the attraction marketing model.

If you haven't read The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing yet you can download it for free here. Ann Sieg pretty much sums up why the wrong people were getting into network marketing using the old methods.

The internet is where it's happening today and attracting motivated people into your business is easy using the Renegade training program. Did you ever think recruiting people in MLM would ever be described as easy.

Well, when you attract people who were looking for you in the first place, then all that's left for you to do is to create enough credibility with them so they'll want to be in business with you.

And with the training available at Renegade Professional, then you will comfortably achieve this. What a difference a motivated downline makes.

Have you ever wondered what the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is?

I'm sure you've seen the comparisons made lots of times in the past and truth is, many avoid the subject simply because it hits a raw nerve.

You see, the majority of us want to be successful in life and crave the opportunity to set ourselves up financially. But less than 5% per cent of people actually achieve it.

So what's the difference? What is it that pushes someone past the point of mediocrity and into an elite group of people who can live life as they dreamed.

As a Renegade Network Marketer or Renegade Professional, the vehicle has been presented to network marketers in no uncertain terms and many have taken the first steps to becoming successful in their business.

But I didn't want to spend too much time in this article extolling the virtues of either. This article is about giving you a wake up call and highlighting some of the differences between the "haves" and "have nots."

Here are the differences:

1. Unsuccessful people are obsessed with ideas but never implement them. In other words, they are gripped by what is known as analysis paralysis. On the other hand, successful people are obsessed with implementation. They don't re-invent the wheel but instead watch successful people and copy them.

2. Unsuccessful people obsess about positive thinking but fail to match it with positive action. Successful people take action to compliment their positiveness. There's an old saying which says..."As you move, shuffle your feet!"

3. Unsuccessful people wait for the right time but it never comes. They want things to be perfect before they act. Successful people take action when the opportunity appears. There is no perfect time other than the present and they know it!

4. Unsuccessful people wait for luck to send them on their way to success and financial freedom. Successful people make their own luck and create their own circumstances in life.

5. Unsuccessful people are afraid to step up the plate. In other words, they don't want to look silly in front of their friends and family. Successful people take risks are aren't worried about whether they are going to look stupid in front of the people they know.

6. Unsuccessful people are easily influenced by family and friends. If they are thinking about poking their head above the crowd all it takes is one cutting comment from a family member and they go to water. Successful people push on no matter what. They surround themselves with successful people and take advice from those who are already successful. They live and die by their own convictions.

7. Unsuccessful people will always believe what they're told. Successful people will always perform their own due diligence and conduct their own research.

This may throw the "cat among the pigeons" but network marketing in the 21st century has become more than just building one business for a lifetime residual income.

Let me explain. Once upon a time, you had two ways of making money in your network marketing business. That is, either sell the company's products or build your down line and create a residual income stream.

Ann Sieg really challenged the perception of network marketing when she suggested that not only could you use these two avenues to make money within your business, but you could also create additional streams of income by adopting the role of internet marketer.

When the dust settled following the releases of The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and The Renegade Network Marketer, it became apparent that introducing an element of internet marketing to MLM needed to be done sooner rather than later for your business to survive.

Now, the opportunity for network marketers has never been greater. Instead of trying to piece together a business for long lasting financial wealth, you have the opportunity to add extra streams of income to your business.

Learning the required skills to become an internet marketer is being provided through the training grounds at the Renegade Professional. Yes, the idea is to train network marketers to market and promote themselves online but the fact many are missing is, by using the Renegade Professional to acquire these skills, you will not only help your primary business, but it also opens up new doors for creating new streams of income.

And that is where the value of such a training grounds exists. Instead of becoming one dimensional and knowing just network marketing, you will be armed with the skills to branch out and take advantage of the millions of dollars available as a marketer in the internet marketing world.

Is that a mouth watering prospect? It should be. Once you know how to do this stuff and more importantly, how to market online, the sky's the limit.

Acquiring the skills to become an internet marketer while building a network marketing business is like creating your own safety net. It's a little like becoming a professional footballer; they're snapped up and recruited in their mid teens to play pro football.

Many decide that's where their futures lie and they put schooling on the backburner. That's understandable because a pro footballer can build up quite a tidy nest egg in 10+ years. But what happens if they're injured or their careers take a turn for the worse. It happens...what have they got to fall back on then?

Renegade Professional will teach you step-by-step the skills to become an internet marketer. If your MLM business fails for whatever reason, you've got the security of mind of knowing you can continue building and earning as an internet marketer.

One of the biggest pitfalls home business owners face is being consistent in their marketing and promotion.

Working from home is a great concept for most but the reality is, most get struck by what is known as paralysis analysis.

Over analyzing is one area which needs to be addressed and overcoming distractions is another. Unlike going to a designated work environment everyday, where you are constantly supervised, working in a home business requires great discipline.

People tend to forget that if they don't take action, then their business will stagnate.

It's in the area of marketing and promotion where most fall down. Network marketers suffer from lack of action on a great level. Despite having a blueprint for success laid out for them by the Renegade Network Marketer and a action-oriented training ground with the Renegade Professional, many still struggle to simply get going.

One of the reasons for this lack of action is simply being in one's home environment. It's very easy to get complacent when there is no one you need to be responsible to.

Let's take a look at some ways you can overcome this paralysis analysis.

Firstly, appoint yourself a mentor. No, not someone who can teach you but someone you will be responsible to. For example, is there anyone in your sphere of influence you highly respect and would not want to let down.

This is a powerful method of getting the fear factor going within yourself. Let's face it, there are certain people in our lives who we don't want to lose face with.

In my case, it's my father. Do whatever it takes but find someone you can report to on a daily basis who has enough of an aura to engender some action within you.

This should be your first step in overcoming complacency in your home business and once it's in motion, the results can be amazing.

Secondly, you need to look at setting rigid work hours. Yes, sometimes you may have to work outside these hours but that's ok.

Choose a work time schedule for the day and stick with it. In my case, I'm in my home office from 8:00am-4-00pm. These are my productive hours and it would take something special to drag me away from them.

You may decide you want to devote just three hours a day to your home business but whatever it is, stick with it. In a sense, working at home should be no different than going to a paid job every day from 9-5.

Thirdly, set yourself mini rewards and a main reward during the day. Work in time blocks and when you've completed each task, give yourself a small reward. This can be whatever you like but just as long as it doesn't distract you from your next task.

The main reward at the end of the day could be time out to go to the beach for a surf, down to your local cafe for a latte or simply sitting down and watching a favorite movie. It's your choice.

The idea behind setting a reward like this is it gets a little excitement going within the pysche and gives you something to work towards and achieve.

Remember, it's your home business and if you don't build it no one else will. That should just about be enough incentive on it's own but in more than 90% of cases, it isn't.

Your network marketing business will either live or die by your marketing and promotion.

It's not so much how often you promote your business although it doesn't hurt but how smart you promote it.

Let's face it, making a list of people you think might be interested in your opportunity is not smart marketing. Ann Sieg described it beautifully in the Renegade Network Marketer as hit and miss.

The Renegade Professional is all about marketing your MLM business the smart way. In other words, putting the odds in your favor. Using Web 2.0, article marketing, pay-per-click and email marketing just to name a few.

In this article, I want to show you how to use the power of using blog marketing as a way of attracting people to your primary business.

This is a simple concept but can get you a lot of targeted traffic. However, it needs to be done correctly. The idea of blog marketing/commenting is to both get links and traffic back to your site as well as offering value to the blog's owner.

The process is simple but can take time and yes, there are some tools out there that semi automate the process. But for those of you with little experience in online marketing it's great to be able to do it manually and get a feel for what you're doing.

Let's start. First step is go to your favorite search engine and if you're a network marketer, then simply type in network marketing blogs. You'll be presented with thousands of results.

Spend a little time going through the blogs and make a list of at least ten with a Google page rank of 4 or higher.

Each blog should have an avenue for you to leave a comment. This is where you need to use some commonsense. Read the latest post on the blog and understand what the author is saying.

If you feel you can contribute to the message in anyway then leave a comment. What you're aiming to do here is to either validate what the author is saying or to leave something of value which other readers can take away.

What you don't want to say is something like..."Great advice..." or "You're absolutely right..." and just leave it at that. This would be considered spamming the blog just to get a link back to your blog or site.

By simply making you're comment short like that won't tempt the reader to have a look at what you have to offer in the way of a site or information. But if you spend a little time and make a sensible suggestion or provide some type of solution, then in the reader's eyes, you may be someone they want to learn more about.

That's all there is to it. Renegade Professional students are learning these exact techniques in a step-by-step fashion and this is just a very small sample of using the power of online marketing to attract targeted prospects to your business.

It's simply attraction marketing and the Renegade Professional training arena is catapulting it's students to new levels of prospecting meaning their once ailing businesses are now being given an injection of life, something they wouldn't have thought possible just a few short weeks ago.

Renegade Professional is breathing new life into stagnant network marketing businesses and is set to become the official training ground for attraction marketing.

Developed by Mike Klingler, Renegade Professional holds nothing back in revealing the correct techniques for attracting droves of targeted prospects to your network marketing business.

Less than a year ago, most network marketers were still floundering with things like the 3 foot rule as their mainstay technique for prospecting but since then, The Renegade Network Marketer and now, Renegade Professional have cut the ribbons in opening an exciting new system to MLMers for driving targeted prospects to their business.

It's easy to become overwhelmed when learning something new and making the switch to internet marketing as your foundation for prospecting can certainly overwhelm even the most savvy online marketer.

What's impressive about Renegade Professional is it's easy to follow activity steps; it's a step-by-step training program including weekly assignments which will cut out the overwhelm factor and cut a swathe through the learning curve of online marketing.

It became evident following the release of the Renegade Network Marketer that while Ann Sieg laid out a blueprint for network marketers to follow in using attraction marketing to supercharge their prospecting lists, the majority of MLMers are still struggling with implementing these strategies.

The problem appears two-fold - understanding the correct marketing techniques and how to apply them online and learning the technical skills to put them to work.

Well, Renegade Professional solves both these problems because not only will members learn how to utilize attraction marketing into their businesses but they'll be able to look over Mike Klingler's shoulder as he shows them step-by-step with video tutorials.

The latter is the biggest factor for network marketers using the internet for the first time to attract prospects. Truth is, attraction marketing is not just privvy to those who work online. It's been used in the off line world for a long time.

But knowing how to apply the principles online using many of the free strategies and tools at a person's disposal is key. Just imagine someone trying to figure this stuff out on their own without some guidance.

Renegade Professional is a blessing in disguise for MLMers and online beginners and in two short weeks, is already producing some early success stories. That's no surprise given the "how to" training being provided.

Once upon a time, the number of leads you generated for your network marketing business relied heavily on the amount of work you put in. The catch cry we heard over and over was..."Reward Equals Action!"

It was the foundation of your success blueprint. Things haven't really changed that much except now, working smarter in your MLM business is the key. The Renegade Network Marketer has opened up a doorway to working smarter in attracting targeted prospects into your network marketing funnel.

Instead of wasting time chasing untargeted prospects, you now have the success blueprint for generating prospects who actually chase you. It's called attraction marketing.

Attracting targeted prospects is one thing though but how do you convert them into your primary network marketing business? Ann Sieg showed us how to generate cash flow while building your MLM business and this is part of the answer to converting prospects into distributors.

The real answer to converting leads into distributors though is by putting money in their pockets quickly!

Success Blueprint does exactly this. What is Success Blueprint? Well, in a nutshell, it's a free targeted lead generation program that acts like a high powered fertilizer which can literally supercharge your existing home business.

What it's not is a program to switch you from your current home business. One of the annoying aspects of network marketing is other MLMers who seem hell bent on wanting to switch you from your current company. Many times, the only reason they can give you is that their opportunity is better!

All they are succeeding in doing is coming across like a desperate marketer and losing all respect with the people they try to convert. In actual fact, these are the people who need to take a look at a program like Success Blueprint.

You only need to take a look at all the free classified services on the internet and realize the dilemma those promoting their businesses are facing. There are millions of classifieds to wade through and all offering a similar message. If you are one of those, do you think your advertisement is going to stand out from the rest?

Not likely but you cannot really blame those advertising because it's what they were told by their upline. Place a few ads and watch the leads come in.

This is the true secret to converting prospects into your primary business. Show them how to put $200-$500 in their pocket daily. The truth is, 97% of MLMers have never made a dime. Yet, if you can even add an extra $200 to their bottom line within a week, then you've achieved something no one else has been able to do in their networking careers.

You've shown them how to physically make money; you've given them some belief and don't you think they now regard you as an important part of their wealth building plans.

It's part of the Success Blueprint relationship building process. Used in conjunction with the Renegade Network Marketer, it's a pretty powerful recipe to MLM success.

Breaking down the barrier a prospect puts up when you first make contact with them should really be a pretty simple process.

How so? That's easy...don't ram your primary business offer down their throat the very first time you speak with them.

It's been the achilles heel of network marketers since this great industry started about the middle of last century and continues to hurt the chances of MLMers in building successful network marketing businesses today.

Ann Sieg introduced a new concept to MLMers in 2007 via her book, The Renegade Network Marketer. It revolved around a topic called attraction marketing. The bottom line is instead of you harassing and chasing down your prospects, they actually come to you.

Sounds a little far-fetched in the network marketing world doesn't it. Well the truth is it's not and is very real. Believe it or not, putting yourself in front of the right crowd is one of the key elements in creating an endless stream of people who want to hear what you have to say.

The first barrier you need to break down surrounds creating interest and desire in your prospect. Interest can be created through information you provide them such as a report on just about anything to do with improving their current financial position.

The report needs to be something that will then create a desire within them to want to know more. If that desire is created then they will be contacting you. But don't stop at the first report. Offer them other valuable pieces of information over a period of time.

By doing this, you are establishing yourself as someone with plenty of credibility and a valuable part of the prospect's future endeavours to expand their current knowledge and efforts to improve their financial stability.

Compare this to "jumping at them" with your business opportunity from the very first moment you meet them and then ask yourself which is likely to create a lasting relationship with them.

One smacks of being a desperate marketer while the other emanates a sincere desire on your part that you really are interested in their future financial well being.

Do this over and over again and over time, you will not only build your business but you will have a solid team of business builders working with you doing the same.

It's attraction marketing at it's best and is the exact same principles built into the Renegade Network Marketer.

One of the main prospecting avenues for a network marketer is their company's pay plan.

How many of you didn't get excited during a presentation until someone started spinning those famous pay plan circles? It's a tactic which engenders excitement within a prospect yet three months after they join, they are looking for an out.

What happened? Wasn't the compensation plan a strong enough incentive to stay involved? In most cases no.

It's a familiar scenario yet network marketers the world over still use their company's pay plan as one of their prime prospecting tools. It doesn't matter how good any pay plan is because unless you're able to generate cash flow within a short space of time your enthusiasm will quickly diminish.

So how do you generate initial cash flow? First you need a shift in thinking. Prospects are the lifeblood of your network marketing business. But prospects alone aren't enough. Targeted prospects are the answer.

Ann Sieg exploded the myth one needs a written list to build a network marketing business in The Renegade Network Marketer. She blew the lid on the long time theory your best target market is your inner circle.

Your best target market are those looking for your opportunity. Does that make sense? In other words, don't waste too much of your time using hit and miss tactics such as speaking to friends and relatives about your business.

There's no point in getting a prospect excited about your company's pay plan if they have no idea on how to generate prospects. People who join network marketing for the sole reason that they were excited about the payment structure in the main, will join the 90% of distributors who decide to bail out in three months time.

The Renegade Network Marketer outlines a superb system of attraction marketing. That is, pinpointing those people who really want to get more information on joining a network marketing business.

By utilizing the powerful online promotion and marketing techniques outlined in the Renegade system and implementing the affiliate marketing factor into your MLM business, then you start the ball rolling in generating much needed cash flow on the front end.

It's like building a business with training wheels - instead of losing money from the moment you start your network marketing business, the Renegade system shows you how to offset those early losses which gives you greater peace of mind as you gradually get your MLM business income levels to a stage where financial worries are no longer applicable.

One of the first things a network marketer needs to consider when venturing online for the first time is branding themselves.

That begins with building their own website. Ann Sieg teaches the concept of branding yourself in The Renegade Network Marketer and no matter which way you look at it, without a website, you're just another faceless member of the network marketing crowd.

Recently, Sieg teamed up with internet marketing legend Ken Evoy of Site Build It! fame and their mission is to take network marketers out of the dark ages; that is, from a faceless number within the industry to an authority figure. They are currently running a $20,000 Inter-Network Marketing contest just to put their money where their mouths are.

The problem with company generated sites is they are all the same. They are next to useless as a targeted prospect producing tool. This is where Site Build It! comes in.

Ken Evoy has recognized that the majority of network marketers not only don't know how to build a website, but they lack the skills to promote and market it.

Site Build It! is the ideal website building vehicle for network marketers to start building their own piece of online real estate.

Yes, at almost $300 for a license it could be considered expensive but the truth is, the initial expense will pale into insignificance considering you'll be on your way to creating a long term residual income producer which will not only deliver you a constant stream of targeted prospects, but also put money in your pocket.

Building for the long term is so important when planning financial independence. What we like about Site Build It! is Ken Evoy and his staff don't just throw a piece of software at you and say..."here, go build yourself a website!"

They provide the necessary guidance required and more importantly, provide advice on how to hone in on the right target market.

In fact, you could visit Site Build It! right now and be presented with information about building a network marketing website which many other marketers would charge you for.

While building your website you'll be taught the principles of attraction marketing which is so vital to succeeding over the long term in network marketing.

Ken Evoy is a master of pre-selling and it's one of the aspects he continually "pushes home" to network marketers. A Site Build It! site will offer the webmaster every opportunity to create a piece of online real estate which will not only attract prospects, but also pre-sell them.

One of the most important ingredients in becoming successful with a network marketing business is being able to create a system within a system.

Renegade network marketers know this and are enjoying the kind of success they only dreamed about not too long ago. Then along comes Renegade University - the system within a system we spoke about.

Ann Sieg laid out the perfect system for network marketing success with her book The Renegade Network Marketer; Mike Klingler has established the perfect training grounds for the new breed of renegade networker with Renegade University.

The concept behind Klingler's Renegade University is simply to help network marketers make the transition from offline to online. Many simply don't have any online marketing skills whatsoever and are intimidated by the online environment. They shouldn't be, not if they want to put their lead generation process on steroids.

When Ann Sieg laid the foundation for the new breed of MLMer with The Renegade Network Marketer, old time exponents of the business cringed. The majority however, welcomed the straight-to-the-point explanation of why more than 90% of people fail in network marketing and better still, became excited about her system of attraction marketing.

Problem is, many still feel a little overwhelmed with the new information and just want a starting point. Well, Renegade University will not only give them a starting point but a step-by-step process on how to build their business utilizing the power of online marketing.

What I like about Klingler's training is he lays out simple to follow activity steps which is ideal for those without any internet marketing experience but his training also caters to those who know this stuff but want to take their knowledge to another level.

The Renegade University training is broken down into an easy to follow marketing map. It's designed so beginners and experienced online marketers can choose where they want to start, relative to their experience.

It's becoming quite evident that using the internet as a tool for attracting targeted prospects to any network marketing will put those utilizing it's power of attraction a hundred yards ahead of those who decide to stay with the tired old offline prospecting strategies.

Network marketers are being introduced to a level playing field and are discovering the benefits of attraction marketing.

If you're not applying attraction marketing principles to your business then you are probably struggling to grow your MLM business. Why? Using old network marketing tactics today means growing your business slowly, if at all.

The truth is, 9 out of every 10 network marketers who are using old tactics such as talking to friends and relatives and cold calling opportunity leads are more than likely going to drop out of their business within three months.

As a Renegade Network Marketer, you have a big head start on the rest of the MLM population. Author Ann Sieg didn't mince any words in her hard-hitting report The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and then delivered her coup de grace with her revolutionary book, The Renegade Network Marketer.

The attraction marketing game is all about having your targeted prospects come to you. You build a relationship with them, train them and give so much value over a period of time so when they're ready to actually listen to your primary business offer, it won't be the message of that offer which will sway them to join, but instead, all that's taken place before that.

Renegade network marketers understand the concept of attraction marketing and how it can turn them from bottom feeders to major players within the industry. Here's just a few examples of the power of attraction marketing:

1. Creating cash flow from day one in your business by turning your lead generation process in an avenue of profits.

2. Having the ability and knowledge to sell to 1000 people in the same amount of time it takes to prospect just one person using outdated prospecting methods.

3. Creating an atmosphere among your prospects which will allow them to make up their minds about joining your primary business well before you pitch them your message.

4. Creating a number of income streams which will allow you to not only finance the establishment period of your primary business, but also allow you to put money in the bank.

This is the new breed of network marketer. The reason why there is a shift in MLM prospecting today is simply because of the power of the internet. It's leveled the playing field for many MLMers. These techniques were difficult to apply off line and would have just been too costly to implement for most struggling network marketers.

The Renegade Network Marketer has opened a new door of opportunity for network marketers and the exciting part is, it now gives you the chance to profit the way the big dogs have been doing for years.

Dramatically increase your sponsoring rate. Put your Network Marketing lead generation on steroids and your MLM business into profit!

It might seem like a promotion for American Idol but the search is on for the world champion internetwork marketing champion.

Yes, that's inter-network marketing champion and it's the brainchild of two of the webs most prominent marketers.

Is this a genuine contest? Well, when two of the most respected names in network and internet marketing come together to promote an idea it's certainly time to sit up and take notice.

It's a case of having The Renegade Network Marketer and one of internet marketing's most enduring and successful programs Site Build It! pushing you over the line to achieve success.

Author of The Renegade Network Marketer, Ann Sieg, has literally forced the network marketing world to sit up and take notice of the message she's blasted out to the MLM world.

Sieg is also attracting some heavyweight interest and has earned the admiration of several big name online entrepreneurs. One of those is Ken Evoy, of Site Build It! fame and they recently teamed up to push the message of using pre-selling as a vital business and relationship building strategy in MLM.

Pre-selling is a powerful tactic used by many of the most successful internet marketers online. As a network marketing tactic, it has been used in the past in the off line world however, only a few have really understood the concept.

Ken Evoy, who has tremendous respect within the online marketing community and who stands as a pillar to budding entrepreneurs has been an exponent of pre-selling for nearly a decade online.

Make a study of the most successful people online and you'll soon discover those who are literally swimming in success are those who understand the concept of pre-selling.

By incorporating it into your Renegade Network Marketer activities, it will be a catalyst for healthy conversion analysis on your websites.

Here's how Ann recently described pre-selling:

"The frame in which someone views a message has more
of an impact on their decision than the message itself."

In a nutshell, it's not the actual sales letter or phone call you make which will clinch the sale but how you warmed up your prospect in the lead up phase.

This is very powerful stuff. Converting prospects to distributors becomes a lot easier once you understand the concept of pre-selling. The easiest way to lose a prospect is to hit them straight up with your sales pitch as soon as they've opted onto your mailing list.

Why not hit them up with useful training material and information instead. Provide them with a wealth of value and you'll soon thaw out any resistance or suspicion they may first have.

The process is not a one or two email affair; it takes time but oh how it's worth it in the end. You will have shown your prospect that you know your business and they will more than likely want to be a part of the business opportunity you're involved in.

If you've read the Renegade Network Marketer, then you understand the power of this concept as a network marketing prospecting tool.

Promoting an MLM business is a brick wall faced by the majority of network marketers.

One of the strategies taught by the Renegade Network Marketer system is using the power of article marketing to get your offer out to your potential prospects.

It's one of the new wave MLM lead generation tactics still foreign to most in the network marketing industry however, done right, it can bring in a steady stream of targeted leads ready to hear what you have to offer.

If you're not using article marketing as part of your overall strategy then you are losing out big time!

So how difficult is article marketing? Not very difficult at all. Let's take a look at some simple tips you can try when writing articles.

Article Marketing Tips For Network Marketers

1. It doesn't matter whether you're promoting network marketing or any product, avoid writing the article in the "me." Avoid using "I" when constructing your piece.

2. The title must be compelling. The title needs to catch the attention of your reader. Where possible, not only include the keyword once but twice but this will depend on the length of your title. Or you can use your keyword first and a synonym later in the title.

3. Your content needs to provide some sort of value to the reader. If writing a review on a product or service and you use it as part of the Renegade plan, yes, you want to promote it but your article is not the place to do it. Instead, if the product has to do with article marketing for example, give a tip or two about writing an effective article and then use your resource box to promote the product.

4. Giving value to your reader means offering an article which they will feel compelled to either save into a folder or bookmark. When you come up with helpful information that can get the reader to take this sort of action, it not only means you are considered someone who knows what they're talking about, but it's likely you'll get referred onto others. A good value article is like viral promotion.

5. Do you close your articles? Don't...or in other words, avoid closing out with something like...

"I hope you find the tips we've highlighted useful in your future promotion of the Renegade Network Marketer."

Avoid finishing an article this way. Why don't you just leave it with your last tip. A closer like the one above is more than likely going to satisfy the reader's curiosity. You don't want that. You want them to continue on to your resource box which contains the links to your offer. The resource box is your closer.

6. The resource box is crucial. We mentioned it should be your article closer. It should also entice people to click through to your offer or website. Don't make it about you. List a benefit; a solution to the reader and watch them click on your link. For example:

"Want an unfair advantage in the attraction game...."

You need to give them a reason to click particularly if the content hasn't quite done it's job. A benefit the reader can identify with will usually do the trick.

When Ann Sieg released her report "The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing" her forthright views and summation of the industry's outdated prospecting methods hit a raw nerve or two.

That's not surprising given the majority of network marketers are still fumbling around in the dark trying to build businesses using these tactics.

The evidence is clear they don't work today for most people; just look at the horrible attrition rate within the industry...almost 90% drop out in the first three months.

Ann Sieg has developed a system to help distributors from losing money from the moment they start their network marketing business. The Renegade system's goal is to not only attract people to you, but to get your marketing and prospecting efforts to also return you an income.

In "The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing" Sieg is quite forthright in her summation of the way the MLM recruitment process does nothing in building a person's confidence in riding out the initial expense process.

Sure, there's expense in every business but with network marketing, there is a way to earn valuable income up front and offset a good deal of this initial cost.

One of the benefits of the Renegade system following the initial report and front end product sale is guiding your affiliates to the back end of the system. In other words, utilizing tools you would usually purchase elsewhere.

Instead of your affiliates going somewhere else to buy these tools, they get them from you. You know, many of them are going to be looking for these products anyway so why not get them from you.

Tools people will be looking for are website builders, information on building blogs, marketing and promotional techniques and information on using the power of Web 2.0 to bring in targeted prospects.

Part of the Renegade Network Marketer system is utilizing effective tools to help get your MLM business on a solid footing.

By providing these services as part of your overall marketing and cash generating strategy means you can generate valuable funds during the initial building phase to help offset some of the necessary expense in establishing a network marketing business.

The Renegade Network Marketer has opened the eyes of many MLM'ers as to the power of using a system to create front end cash flow in the business.

Ann Sieg has combined the best tactics of internet marketing and married them up with network marketing. There was a time not too long ago when people scoffed at any suggestion of using the two mediums in the same breath.

Ann has detailed a system in the Renegade Network Marketer which will allow you to earn money while you're building your network marketing business. It's very powerful stuff indeed.

One question which is often asked is "okay, I am generating prospects using the system but how do I get them to call me about my opportunity?"

This is when you need to go the extra mile. Simply providing them with a one-off report to opt them into your list is not enough. Think about creating a system within a system.

How will you keep them interested in you? By going the extra mile you have to think about continuing to provide them with value. You see, people are generally looking for someone to take them by the hand and lead them to the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."

It's not enough just to get their initial interest via an optin form or through downloading a free report. This is just the beginning. This is when you start to build a relationship.

You see, the majority of people are looking for a better life; a more secure life financially. If they respond to your initial contact and you immediately try the heavy-handed "join my primary MLM business" stuff then they'll see you as just another shark looking to make a quick buck.

This next point may surprise many of you but you'll have a lot more success by giving away valuable information during the courtship stage with a prospect.

By training them about the various aspects of becoming successful in network marketing from the outset will immediately ease your prospect's fear that you are just another person wanting them to part with their credit card details.

You need to show you are genuinely serious about providing them with the solution to their problem. One of the ways to do this is via a series of autoresponder emails based on training your prospect for free over a designated period of time.

The Renegade Network Marketer has outlined a system which gives you a fine blueprint in relationship building with your prospects.

There is a stage during the relationship building phase where a "too eager" approach will simply destroy your chances of establishing credibility with a prospect.

Don't be afraid to share information which can help your prospect on their way to success. This is so critical. The more you do this, the more they'll want to be involved with whatever it is you have to offer.

Get the network marketing system which pre-qualifies and helps build trust with your prospect. Accelerate your Network Marketing Lead Generation today!

If anyone tells you that network marketing has nothing to do with sales and marketing but is simply an environment of sharing products then you should run a mile!

It takes good training to be successful in MLM and if you have a system in place which both pre-qualifies and helps build trust with your prospect you are half way home to network marketing heaven.

When talking about human relationships, there is no stronger bond between two people than trust. It's a powerful aspect of succeeding in sales and marketing.

Part of getting your prospect's trust involves you thinking and feeling like them. To be able to understand them, you'll virtually need to get inside their heads. At this stage of the relationship, it's not about you and how you perceive yourself but how they view you.

Present yourself as a desperate marketer just trying to get them into your opportunity will only serve to force your prospect to put up the alarm barrier and try to get off the call as soon as possible.

So how do you gain your prospect's trust? By setting yourself up as a solutions provider. You need to invest in your prospect before you even think about inviting them to join your opportunity.

The failure of many distributors in the network marketing business can be measured by this one fact alone. Many are too keen to drag their prospect into their business without at least providing something of value to them before doing so.

One of the best ways to provide value is to simply begin to educate them on network marketing from the outset. By this, we mean presenting yourself as someone who knows what they're talking about.

Put yourself in your prospect's mind and understand what it is they want in life. The reason they have responded to you is because to them, you have the possible solution they're looking for.

If you immediately start acting like a desperate marketer and talk about how great your offer is then your prospect will lose any semblance of respect for you in the first minute of the call.

You need to listen to what the prospect tells you in the first few minutes. Give them information. It's all about giving to them first. That's what investing in a prospect is all about.

In a nutshell, it's called information-based marketing. Remember that.

There wouldn't be a network marketer in the world who hasn't been discouraged at the progress of their MLM business.

If you have never lost faith, then I would suggest you bottle your enthusiasm and market it. You will make a fortune!

How do you maintain faith and belief in what you're doing will pay off for you in time? It's tough I know but this business is all about taking short steps in reaching your goal and there is really no easy shortcut to network marketing success.

I'm going to show you one way which has worked for many countless distributors to "keep their eye on the ball" when it seems you're backing more losers than winners.

It's simple...just document your winners and losers. When you have a loser write it down in a notebook. When you have a winner do the same and highlight it.

The truth is, you back a lot more losers than winners in your network marketing career. That's part and parcel with learning by failing so you can learn from your mistakes.

Does that make sense?

It's that old 80/20 rule and while you'll get discouraged, remember, the more losers you back the closer you are to getting a winner. And that gets back to having the faith and belief in what you're doing will ultimately reward you.

So how do you maintain faith and belief? Easy... get a daily dose of motivational material. Whether it be in print or audio, it's one of the few things which has remained unaltered in network marketing.

People will give up on something quickly if they receive a knock or two. In the MLM business, you can get battered around like a prize fighter. Rejection is considered one of the most debilitating failures in this business.

By listening to some of the great motivational speakers like Nightingale, Canfield, Rohn and Ziglar, you can get the inspiration you need to keep your eye on your long range goal.

Instead of being turned off by your failures embrace them as a learning experience and tackle them head on. By continually turning away from them you'll develop a stronger fear of failure.

By listening to motivational material on a daily basis, you'll eventually start to develop a force field against failure and begin to understand the mechanics of achieving success.

It's not a race. Short term thinking has no place in long term success strategies.

Get a jump start over your opposition and accelerate your Network Marketing Lead Generation success rate!

It's a marriage made in heaven! The combination of offline network marketing techniques with online strategies.

How times have changed. Once upon a time, building a network marketing business meant pestering family and friends, attending countless meetings and driving long distances and putting your faith in your belief system.

Yes, belief in yourself is still required but the truth is, the internet has changed the way we can build our MLM businesses.

Reality is, what used to work 10 or 20 years ago is not anywhere near as effective today. What does still work is creating a relationship with your prospects and building upon those relationships. That hasn't changed.

Building relationships with prospects becomes a heck of a lot easier when the prospect actually seeks you out to hear what you have to offer. Is this possible? Sure it is!

Targeting your preferred range of prospects has become so much easier online. Before the internet, you basically spoke to people you knew and hoped they would show some interest.

Not the best way to build a business and most times, you felt alienated as well as being given the impression you had perspiration problems as people tended to avoid you.

Remember those days?

Most of us still shudder at the thought! Today, targeting your lead generation market online is as easy as 1-2-3...

I'm not talking about buying leads from a third party but putting your lead generation control back in your hands where it should be. Techniques such as building and operating your own blog, article marketing and Web 2.0 methods just for starters.

Being able to build a list of responsive prospects who want to listen to what you have to say.

Providing valuable information to them on a regular basis and while many won't join your business right away, you are building a relationship with them and by delivering useful information to them regularly, guess who they will look to join when they're ready to take the next step?

There is no quick and easy fix in this business. It takes time to build a solid foundation. Too many times we've seen businesses built quickly on a sand-based foundation and then watched them crumble around a distributor's ears.

Use the lead generation methods mentioned in this article and then build relationships on a solid foundation.

Choosing a top network marketing company can be a little like playing a game of business Russian roulette.

Why? Simply because network marketing companies come and go every week.

To say you only want to choose a top network marketing company because it will guarantee you'll be successful in the MLM business is a little off the mark.

There are some more important factors to consider when trying to become successful in this business but yes, without a good network marketing company to provide a solid vehicle for you to reach your long term goals then you'll be "up the proverbial creek without a paddle."

Researching a network marketing company to invest your time, money and effort into is no different to researching a traditional business to buy. After all, you'll be pouring your hard-earned cash into it and you want to be sure the company will be around in five years time.

The attrition rate of network marketing companies is extremely high and finding that "diamond in the rough" can involve both luck and good research.

So how do you pick the right network marketing company to join?

One of the best guides is to avoid well established companies who have been around for several decades. Yes, they are very successful and great MLM companies but if you are looking for the right vehicle to generate strong income in a relatively short space of time then these should be avoided.

There has always been a theory to look for a young company which has gone through the "early surf" and has established itself financially and with a steady growth curve.

This is a good method of assessing a companies worth particularly if it has survived it's first five years in business. But this alone will not guarantee it will be around in the next five years.

A network marketing company must have good leadership. The people running the show should have a successful track record in network marketing; either as successful business owners or, and more importantly, having been part of successful companies in the past.

Look at the product. Those special companies which come along now and again and turn the MLM landscape upside down will usually have taken a product and either improved upon it or added an appealing new twist to it.

These are just three qualities you need to look for when assessing a network Marketing company.

Fear is one of the greatest motivating factors you can use in network marketing.

I'm not talking about using fear in a manner such as telling your prospects..."Do it or else!" No, I'm talking about using the fear of failure as a means to challenge yourself.

Fear has been the catalyst for some of the greatest achievements in history. Think for a minute and wonder how you can use it as a strong source of motivation.

When your network marketing business is all you've got in reaching your financial goals then utilizing the fear factor shouldn't be difficult.

Ask yourself...what are you afraid of the most in life? For me, it's telling my family when I reach my golden years that... "Well, I did the best I could but this is it." Then I'd hold out my hands and they would be empty.

Picturing this in my mind scares the you know what out of me especially when I look at a group of disappointed faces. It's that look I get that I let them down and folks, I'm don't want to let my family down!

This is such a powerful motivating factor in building my network marketing business it cannot be understated.

Listening to motivational material is okay however, many people can become "material junkies" and despite listening to message after message, rarely put an action plan together after the tape or DVD has ended.

With fear being your motivation, it becomes personal and unless you have ice coursing through your veins, it is very difficult to ignore.

What's your version of fear of failure? Picture it and then live it momentarily and feel the fear. You'll be surprised what effect this can have in challenging yourself to be and do better.

Anytime you are feeling a lack of motivation to build your business just take a few moments and think of that fear image and challenge yourself.

In Network Marketing, generating leads is one of the best ways to satisfy the fear urge within us. Why? Because without leads you're virtually "dead in the water" in your business.

Generating leads means you're taking action and taking action can help tremendously in nullifying the fear of failure within you. Try it...you might surprise yourself how effective it can be.

Want to know how to attract leads to your Network Marketing business on a consistent basis? That's easy... consistent marketing!

I'm not talking about promoting your network marketing company or it's products but marketing your offer en masse.

Yes your company is important and yes, the products are a vital component of the business but it's the opportunity which people will be interested in and unless you let people know about it, the leads pathway to your door will be pretty scant.

I'm not suggesting spending a fortune on buying leads which could be a shortcut to frustration and disappointment but generating your own exclusive and responsive list via marketing your offer to the right crowd.

That is the key...marketing your offer to the right group of people. I'm talking attracting targeted traffic. There's no point in using outdated prospecting tactics which require talking to everyone you know and everyone you know when on most occasions, they aren't even thinking about an opportunity.

So who do you market to? Believe it or not, network marketers themselves. They will be your most responsive audience. Before you start to scream "but they are already involved in the business" yes, you're right. However, with network marketers virtually giving up within the first three months of starting their business, that means the target market is pretty big and enticing.

People on the lookout for an opportunity are good prospect targets. People who seek opportunities and actively buy information about how to work from home are even better prospects. Don't get opportunity seekers and opportunity seekers who actively pursue information confused.

Opportunity seekers are on the lookout for enticing ways to build financial wealth however, are usually not as active or committed as those who will actually spend money on information. The latter are more pro-active and sooner or later will find what they're looking for.

Initiating a marketing campaign on a consistent basis is important in attracting these type of leads to your offer. Running campaigns in several areas such as article marketing, web 2.0 promotions and social bookmarking means you will be covering a wide net.

Attracting these type of opportunity seekers to your offer means they're usually keen to hear what you have to say. They are targeted prospects.

This section on network marketing coaching tips will be added too on a regular basis so keep checking this space!

1. Don't join a network marketing company just on the promise of leverage and time freedom. People are mesmerized by these two terms yet most don't realize it takes work, perseverance and skill to establish an MLM business. Don't just sign people up and leave them to their own devices. Treat them like a business within your own business. By doing this consistently with each person you sign, then you will start to experience the sensation of leverage and in time... time freedom.

2. If you are one of the majority of people who lack focus in your business then get yourself a network marketing mentor. It doesn't have to be someone involved in MLM but someone you respect and most importantly, have some fear of letting down. Be accountable to this person everyday for at least a month. You'll be amazed at how much more effort you'll put into your business and with effort comes results!

3. Magic happens in network marketing recruitment when you get two very important principles working in unison. Find a targeted group of prospects interested in your business offer and then get them to take a look at it. That's it! When these two simple principles work together they become a powerful force which will impact your business in a positive way.

4. Build leaders within your organization. This is related to tip no.1 and it's the biggest reason why leverage happens in any network marketing business. It's the cause of a business developing a life of it's own and is the one thing which will eventually bring you time freedom.

5. Phone etiquette is so important in network marketing especially when making first contact with prospects. Remember, it's not about you, it's about your prospect. Find out their "why" and "desire" firstly for creating an extra income stream before you talk about anything else. Then listen to everything they say. Make notes if you have to because by listening, you are showing your prospect you are sincere about helping them get what they want.

6. Give your prospects a simple plan to follow and don't try and re-invent the wheel. In short, they want you to show them a way to supplement their current income in an inexpensive, uncomplicated step-by-step way they can easily follow.

Read the report within the Network Marketing industry ruffling feathers!

7. If you recruit a new person into your business using one method, then don't teach them to recruit using another. Too often MLM'ers will sign on a new person and for some inexplicable reason advise them to try a different system to the one they used. For example, if you avoid cold calling because it makes you uncomfortable then don't expect your prospect to be comfortable with it. It's somewhat of a cop out and a deceptive practice.

8. Without action you won't grow your business. It's as simple as that. Anything you do in life requires action. For example eating, running, playing, sleeping: in fact, whatever you do requires an action of some sort. Successful people become successful by performing specific actions.

9. Be wary of complicating your network marketing system. Too many steps will confuse the heck out of your downline and they'll find ways to take shortcuts. When this happens, no one is following a system. When a network marketing system is simple, it means it's duplicable and when it's easily duplicated, growth happens... in a big way!

10. Be careful not to overwhelm your network marketing prospect with hard sell tactics. In fact, never use hard sell. This is a relationship building business and believe it or not, when a prospect likes you then you are "off around the diamond." One way to gain your prospect's respect is by being a mentor to them while they are looking at your information. It's all about over-delivering your credibility. If your prospect likes what he/she sees early in you, then they will more than likely want to join you.

11. You need to develop a long term mindset in network marketing. You've heard this before right, but how many distributors continually think in the now and frustrate themselves when they don't achieve immediate results? Your planning needs to be based on what your focus is a year, 2 years and beyond from when you start, not in three months time.

12. There are two aspects of network marketing when used in conjunction are like an immovable object. What are they? Focus and discipline. Focus is for maintaining your eye on the long term goal and discipline for when the enthusiasm starts to wane. Without one or or the other, you'll really struggle to build your business. Use them together, and you've struck the daily double!

Why is there such a high attrition rate in network marketing? No longer are people loyal to one particular company. With so many companies to choose from, no sooner does someone opt out of one opportunity, there on their favorite search engine looking for the next big thing.

Are people ignoring the one vital aspect of network marketing essential to growing a lasting business?

Hands up if you've purchased countless names and phone numbers from network marketing lead generation services only to be disappointed time and time again with the results?

You are not alone. Let's face it, the odds are stacked against you building your business from the ground up by purchasing leads.

Let me make it clear... I'm not bashing lead services in this piece; my point is for somebody just starting out in the MLM business, there is a learning curve and make no mistake, network marketing requires a strong skill set despite what they tell you.

Ask yourself this...if after spending several hundred or several thousand dollars on purchasing leads and you get lucky and sponsor one person into your business, do you think he/she is going to duplicate your efforts and go down the same route blowing money hand over fist?

Why then do those in the top 5% of MLM'ers who are successful in network marketing give purchasing leads the thumbs up? Simple, with big downlines and with many going the lead purchase route don't you think that from the tens of thousands of people contacted some will join their business? Sure, and in this context network marketing lead generation works.

However, for the other 95% of network marketers struggling to even get their MLM business off the ground, it's not a viable option. I know, I've been there!

In the end, it wasn't just the frustration I was getting from the prospects I was phoning, but I was losing face with my handful of distributors who I had simply advised to go down the same path because that's what my upline colleagues had told me to do!

What were supposed to be pre-qualified leads in many instances were the exact opposite. Most times, I failed to make contact or lines were disconnected.

Many times people just couldn't remember wanting to get more information and eventually, when I did speak with someone who wanted to hear what I had to say my initial surprised reaction was something like this..."You do! Are you sure?"

Doesn't portray a good image for your home based business does it?

You know how it goes...you sponsor two who in turn each sponsor two, who in turn each sponsor two and so on and so on...

On paper, it looks most appealing and it's the one mesmerizing aspect of network marketing which can leave people looking at the industry for the first time frothing at the mouth...

Adding value has become fashionable in business particularly since the 1980s. Network marketing is no different.

When you have a prospect's ear, the temptation to build up the image of your company and promote the products is big but this will jeopardize your chances of creating a relationship with your prospect.

Want to know the best way to promote yourself as an expert? Give the prospect something of value in the form of a report. It doesn't need to be a 100 page report; anything from 1500 words or more is great. What you are aiming to do is attract the prospect's attention and make them want to find out more.

I remember well the report I received in 2001 about wealth building which was so well written it made me want to know more about it immediately. It was not the the normal boring "blah blah blah" about how great the company or the products were. Instead, the author actually gave me something of value which made me feel instant respect for him and I looked at him as an expert.

My aim was to build lasting wealth and the tactics revealed in the report was information I could readily use. The interesting thing was it didn't mention once the use of multi level marketing or MLM companies or even products and rather than being harassed into looking at an opportunity, I was made aware of the importance of creating extra streams of income using various methods.

Basically, the report spoke about past and emerging trends within the biggest spending market ever; the baby boomers and how important it was to position one self within that market. Yes, the report was aimed at getting me interested and follow up for more information but certain aspects of it pushed the right buttons within me.

Looking at extra information was a no-brainer and the process put me under no pressure at all to make an immediate decision. More importantly, it was a process which was duplicable and one I felt comfortable implementing. It's amazing how effective using the value-added angle is.

The term over-deliver has become fashionable within Internet Marketing and you better believe it is just as effective when used in Network Marketing. So what ways can you think of to over-deliver to your potential downline? Earn their trust and respect and you're a long way down the track in welcoming them on board as a business associate.
