Why Many Network Marketers Fail

Are you a network marketer? Do you invest long hours in following up this prospective customer or that prospective down line? Very tiring, isn’t it? But then, it is the nature of the Multi-Level Marketing business(as it is also called) itself. A network marketer multiplies his or her time and sales through his or her down lines.
A number of factors determine the success or failure of an individual’s future in the network marketing business.

*The product- Is it saleable? Meaning, is there a demand for it? Next, when is the repeat order going to happen? Let’s say you have some very high quality products to sell, such as kitchenware, and there’s no question about their durability. But here’s the thing, don’t expect any repeat orders any time soon. So, if you expect to generate repeat orders, it is advisable that you join a company which sells high quality and consumable products. Repeat orders mean more business for you and your down lines.

*The Company - Is the company stable and well-established? Does it have a good track record? In the MLM business, it is said that many newly-established network marketing companies fold up within five to six years.

*The Marketing System – Many so-called network marketing companies ask for big registration fees and pay a commission each time a network marketer recruits someone into the business. The Department of Trade and Industry says that if a network marketing company does this, you should be wary because this is an indication of a pyramiding scam. A real network marketing company pays a commission to its associate only if he or she has sold a product or has recruited someone into the business as a consequence of that individual having bought and sold the products himself.

*Attitude- In my mind, this is the most important factor that determines a distributor's success or failure in network marketing. If you want to succeed in this business, you must have a good learning attitude. This means study and learn as much as you can about your products, your company, your marketing plan, etc. Stay away from negative people, you know, the ones who constantly discourage you and tell you why you cannot succeed in life. By the way, it is better that you go with positive people because in MLM, you constantly encounter truckloads of rejection.

On the bright side, being a network marketer means more income- if you work hard and follow the marketing system.

The reality though, is, for every successful network marketer, there are hundreds, if not thousands who fail in the business due to some reason or another.

Being a network marketer offline can be very humiliating when friends and family get tired of your recruiting tactics and consider you a pest. There are also others whose unscrupulous practices make network marketing a bad name.

So, why does the average person fail at network marketing? If you failed at MLM offline, it does not necessarily mean you could fail at it online.

Affiliate Marketing - A look at opportunities for you in e-commerce

Affiliate Marketing is the internet-based version of the traditional agent/referral fee sales channel concept. It is also the practice in which a business rewards individuals, also known as affiliates, for each customer brought about by the affiliates' marketing efforts.

An e-commerce affiliate used to refer to a website which links back to an e-commerce site such as amazon.com.

Now, however, as e-commerce continues to evolve, bloggers and members of online community forums can now become affiliates as well. Many affiliate programs now accept bloggers and individuals, not necessarily webmasters, as affiliates.

Today, affiliates play a significant role in the various e-commerce companies' advertising strategies.

Successful Online Business - It's doable even for beginners

Many people often wonder where to find and how to choose a viable business online.
If you're reading this article and you happen to be seriously interested in having a successful online business, congratulations! You're on the right path.

SBI! makes online business success do-able. Anyone can succeed with an all-in-one process, tools, and guidance.

The process is simplified to such a degree that success (i.e., profits, not the mere presence of a Web site) is achievable even for a beginner. For an experienced person, achieving success is even smoother. SBI! really does change lives.

Yes, there are easier ways to build a Web site. However, online profits require more than just having a collection of Web pages. SBI! includes all the tools and a proven process required to build a long-term, profitable e-business.

You get more than just a "site builder." You don't need to worry about looking for separate hosting, paying for a separate keyword research tool, handling site submissions, integrating autoresponders, etc., etc. See the full list of features here -- pick the most relevant ones for you and your reader.

SBI! removes the technical barriers allowing you to keep your attention on building your business. Many functions are completely automated. You don't need to know anything upfront about building a Web site in order to succeed. The tedious, "under-the-hood" stuff is handled automatically so you can focus on other important business-building activities.

SBI! is the only product that takes the time to prepare you to build a profitable business, before you jump into building your site. For the beginner, your learning curve will be shorter and you'll bypass any show-stopping errors. For those experienced in site-building, SBI! deepens your level of understanding. No matter who you are, you are guided all the way until you succeed.

The Action Guide presents a step-by-step process, presented in both written and video formats. All you have to do is follow it. Really! The most successful SBI! owners say "all they did was follow the Guide." They don't get sidetracked, or have to guess at what to do next. SBI!'s guided approach helps you reach your goals.

Continuous mentoring via the Action Guide and online help is always available. Learn by reading (written guide) or watching (video guide)! You are carefully guided every step of the way, which make success that much more do-able. Advanced help is also available (when you are ready for it), all designed to save you time and keep you moving forward.

SBI! comes with unlimited Customer Support. SBI! owners often call it the best they've ever experienced. And the SBI! Forums complete the picture. They are the most friendly, help-and-be-helped set of e-business forums in the world.

Brainstorm It! is SBI!'s powerful keyword brainstorming and research tool. It helps you verify that your site concept has acceptable profit potential. SBIers are saved from making that common fatal error. With Brainstorm It!'s help, they know they are on track, right from the start. Brainstorm It! also helps you to find topics related to your niche that will pull in traffic and generate income.

Niche Choose It! is your final decision-making tool. It uses a complex decision-matrix theory that makes choosing the best niche for YOU simple... and flawless.

Monetize It! helps you choose the best monetization options for your site concept. Creating a diverse monetization mix will help you maximize your site's profitability and ensure long-term growth.

Page creation is as simple as riding a bike with its training wheels still attached. No need to know HTML. The block-by-block builder trains you how to write a page that is both "Search Engine and human effective." It's simple, do-able and most importantly, effective site-building. The block-by-block builder is perfect for beginners, but even many "advanced" users should start with this tool. It's an excellent way to break bad habits!

Since SBI! is compatible with popular HTML editors (ex., Dreamweaver) and image tools (ex., Photoshop, Flash, etc.), you can easily use advanced page-building techniques, if you like. This allows for maximum creative flexibility for all skill levels.

When it's time to create your site's Look & Feel, SBI! provides fully customizable, easy-to-use templates. You can choose and create a professional-looking presentation, even if you have no design skills. And if you're a designer, you can create and upload your own. This page shows a range of styles.

SBI! includes domain name analysis, optimization, and registration. You will develop the best name for maximum profitability in your niche. (It's often different than what you had planned.)

Fast, reliable, state-of-the-Net Web site hosting is all included with SBI!. You don't have to worry about choosing the right "hosting" features (size, capacity, etc.). Web hosting is included, no nonsense, no hidden clauses.

You learn to "get it right" quickly (or correct bad habits) so you can focus on other traffic-building strategies. (These are also easily mastered due to "automation-and-process.")

To announce your site to Search Engines, you need to submit a specialized file called a "Sitemap XML" file. SBI! does it all automatically, a huge time saver, that enables you to quickly achieve wider distribution and attract more targeted free traffic.

Search Engine spider/listing/ranking reports let you see how your pages are being handled by the Search Engines. You can see what pages rank best and drive traffic. Each report's insights help you to determine how to increase traffic and monetization. Most pros don't have easy and reliable access to this type of information.

SBI! includes Value Exchange (VE) for finding and managing high value inbound links (another criteria for ranking highly at the engines and building traffic). This automated inbound link-building tool saves time for what is otherwise a tedious time-sucker.

SBI! includes an easy-to-use form builder with autoresponders. You can build contact forms, surveys, and polls to easily communicate with your visitors. You don't need to use your e-mail address, which attracts spam. Experienced users will appreciate no longer needing separate form-building tools. Having these tools all in one place saves time and expense, too.

List-building and e-mail marketing are included (usually these expensive features are bought separately). Sign up visitors to your e-zine subscription list and then mail an issue to them. This repeat exposure builds a stronger bond with your visitors and allows for direct promotions to them. Deeper PREselling = More Monetization.

PREselling is a concept "invented" by SiteSell, part of the C T P M process. The concept is simple. As small business people, you do not have a brand name that is known and trusted. So you have to build that before you can monetize. Seems obvious, right? So few people do it, or they don't do it right, online.

Automatic site blogging turns your site into a blog easily. You'll enjoy all the benefits of a blog without needing extra skills or additional software. For those experienced with blogging, auto-pinging for your SBI! blog keeps your site on the Search Engines' radar. All of this helps attract more traffic.

SBI! has a no-risk, 30-day money back guarantee. It's a risk-free decision that you can make with confidence and peace of mind.
