Since the beginning of my marketing , whether part time or fulltime as I am now, I have always had a few different income streams.

From the tools and resources I recommend to my readers, to my primary network marketing business, to my day time job and now pensions. It just makes sense to have some strategies that offer income or investment growth while you maybe focus on your primary business.

Right now my primary revenue income comes from my Enagic business  and that is support by my pensions – lucky me. Come on, I’ve lived and worked pretty hard for those! So I am pretty comfortable without too much work. I worked for both of those pretty hard in my past, I can tell you.

For Enagic now I am beginning an offline seminar presentation programme in the UK if you would like to come and meet up – they are FREE and you will definitely get a flavour of what I do to build my network marketing business offline as well as an idea of how we work online too.

Anyway. What else do I do?

Well, I have affiliate interests in Lead Pages and Aweber  and I hold some cryptocurrency which has a low key referral programme.

And in the past I have referred people into online training programmes which has helped my readers with their social media marketing but also given me a little bit of side income to my primary.

I am always open to other things but tend to stay away from MLM or Network Marketing businesses that could take my attention away from my primary or show my team members that I don’t believe in the legacy nature of Enagic. Because that is my long term, legacy business that I will leave to my wife and family when I am gone. It is truly a long term, generational business with a quality product that offers us residual income.

Having a multiple stream of income strategy doesn’t mean one thing has to compete with another, if you plan your portfolio correctly.

For Crypto I am holding something that could make me a millionaire within a few months or it may never happen – I can share that with you if you are interested (not an affiliate just contact me directly) – but I don’t depend on it and I am pretty comfortable that I lose or gain a few dollars. Every business or investment has risk, right?

The main thing is for me, I have a few irons in the fire and some will work and some won’t but my primary business WILL and DOES work if I put the work in. I don’t depend upon anyone else. It is NOT speculation. It is assured if I maintain my activity and focus.

Everything else is a bonus side line which I can benefit from without too much effort apart from an initial investment and a little patience.

However, if you are into trading in financial, stock or crypto currency markets, then indeed you need to have your wits about you and keep your eye on the prize minute by minute. So be careful out there!

That isn’t for me. Far too much time required and I enjoy my golf and travel!

What I do not recommend is to have multiple MLM businesses. I just feel that to do that you are going to confuse your followers and team members. Most definitely not more than one in one particular niche. Most popular are health niche products. It would be best to focus on one product in that niche only. I know there are multiple solutions to health issues but MLM requires focus and team leadership. Just pick one and really go for it…. 10 x as Gant Cardone would say.

I am pretty open on this website where my focus is on my income streams. There are pages in here that lead you to them.

If you want to get into an ethical high ticket affiliate programme – give me a shout or GO HERE

or if you would like to see how you can invest a small amount in the CRYPTO space for investment purposes – then CLICK HERE

Whatever you do, make sure you weigh up the risks and then GO FOR IT! If not 10 x at least 5 x.

Having those side hustle safety nets can definitely give you some assurance later on , as I discovered when I suffered redundancy and property loss due to the property crash at the same time!!

Thank God I had my Enagic business that has underpinned my financial recovery for 10 years!!

Enjoy a great day today and good luck with your business and investment choices. I wish you all the best for a very successful future.

The post Multiple Streams Of Income? Are You Invested? first appeared on Pete Chapman.

I was using clickfunnels but it just overwhelmed me and then my mentor, someone I had trusted for many years with my social media knowledge introduced me to LEADPAGES.NET  

It just made things so much simpler for me. Much easier to use and not as expensive. So I converted to Leadpages  and now my funnels on this page from my Working Together, UK Kangen Water Seminars and my Rocket Fuel Your Finances page are all built with LeadPages.net. Simple to use and reliable.

What are the advantages of Funnels?

Quite simply they act as a funnel into your offer. A capture page to attract attention to an offer,  and then collect contact details for your follow up.

I have heard for many years that “the money is in the list” and from my recent mentor, Grant Cardone, “money follows attraction” . So having a simple, single page funnel website to your offer is vital for your business. Funnel your contacts into your database.

No contact is ever wasted. If they do not buy from you now, they could do later down the line if you maintain a connection and your offer remains attractive.

Funnels for network marketers offer you individuality

Break out from the pack! Show your individuality as a network marketer by placing a funnel capture page linked to your own internet marketing autoresponder. You list becomes your list forever, whether you stay with your MLM business or move to another.

Marketing yourself is key in our industry nowadays. From social media to a web presence and you need to maximise your opportunity. Why should people join YOU instead of all the other marketers in your business opportunity, MLM or Affiliate Marketing product? Give them a reason to LIKE you! Remember, LIKE , KNOW , TRUST! Making individualised internet marketing funnels is key for your progress!

That is why I have always used my Aweber account to link with my websites.

I has given me a list over 15 years that has built to 1000’s of marketers . Some of them have taken years to decide but I am always here to help them if they need me and slowly but surely they can be persuaded to give my offers a go.

Some people have joined my primary network marketing business after many years. They just weren’t ready at the time I made them aware the first time. They probably wanted to see how I did before they made their own move.

So having that constant connection can pay off big time in the end.

Whichever FUNNEL creation programme you use, I would definitely recommend you begin to explore them for your business or businesses.

Let me know if you need any help with it.

The post Funnels and Stuff first appeared on Pete Chapman.

It has been the foundation of my life since I realised that you cannot really, truly find happiness if you do not treat people with respect and act within true principles.

The greatest teachers the world has ever known have taught the principles of love and forgiveness. Letting go. Living in the present. Being present. From the Buddha to Jesus to the greatest community leaders we have known. Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Sister Teresa, Nelson Mandela all shared similar principles.

I cannot pretend that I have mastered all the teachings of our religious, spiritual or community leaders. I am certainly not perfect, but I try to live with this principle of #BeKind. Even though I often find it difficult I try to let go and live in the present.

I think this is my major difficulty – letting go of the past. So many regrets.

However I find that if I keep to my principles of #BeKind with my network marketing business, I have had no regrets. I lead with this principle in mind. I try to teach it as best I can. I try to find the time that everyone in my team needs, no matter how deep they are in my organisation.

This has sometimes meant that I have had to correct some people in my organisation as they have strayed from good principles to underhanded actions thinking that money making is what it is all about, when the reality is that build that LIKE, KNOW, TRUST thing is a forever activity not just ending at the initial sale!

My last post talked about those SLIDING DOOR moments. Different actions leading to different outcomes. I believe though, that as long as our decisions are considered, thoughtful and with a good heart, then most of the time they turn out in a good way.

My current network marketing business has served me well. It has led to me receiving a residual income from very little effort – even in times of difficulty where I couldn’t work – it has provided a good income for me and my family.

So, some tips if you want to use this principle in your network marketing business:

1. Accept people for who they are and where they are in our industry
2. Have patience with newbies
3. Be the best sponsor you can be. Whether you are top of the tree or just getting started. Care about those people who follow you and guide them as best you can
4. Lean on those above you who inspire you and have time to teach you. Just being one step ahead is giving you something you can teach others.
5. Work your business deep. By this I mean, do not neglect the team members who are recruited by others. Often they can become orphans without leadership as their sponsors neglect them. Keep them as active as possible through your leadership and guidance
6. Develop good communication systems to keep your team informed and supportive of one another. I use Whatsapp and Facebook groups but you can use any method you feel is useful to you.
7. Set as good an example as you are able. From your activity to your manner of work, from your patience and support of others.
8. Teach what has worked for you and as best as possible give examples of how it works.
9. Be honest in your dealings. Do not cross a line you will regret having done so later.
10. Be a stayer – don’t flit around from one business to another. If you stay the course, others will too.
11. Remember KARMA. For every action there is a reaction. Make your actions the right ones and the right results

I hope you have found this post to be useful. It has certainly reminded me of the principles I have tried to apply and set me back on course to be true to my original intentions and goals.

Please share your opinions in the comment section below.

Enjoy your day and weeks ahead.

My constant wishes for your continued success.

The post Be Kind – The Key To Success Without Regret first appeared on Pete Chapman.

Life is full of those sliding doors moments, don’t you think? Remember that movie, Sliding Doors?

Two scenarios took place. One where the character rushed to catch a train after being fired from her job and caught it and another when she missed it. Circumstances effecting her life changed dramatically, one where she ended up miserable and the other where she gradually improves her life.

How many times have you asked those questions? If only I had taken that decision or moved in that direction.

I remember Tony Robbins sharing with us that;

“It is in our decisions our destiny is formed.”

It is true, isn’t it? Each and every day we make decisions, from deciding when to get out of bed, what actions to take during the day etc.

Too often though we refect too much on the past and regret some of those decisions we made. I can certainly look back at some of the decisions I have made with some regret. However I know this to my cost that too much reflection can cause dither and loss of forward momentum. We can completely stall our future goal achievement by investing in too much regret.

This is very much a business blog designed to help people move forward in their network or affiliate marketing businesses of choice. So how can What if, Maybe reflections cause you to stall in your forward thinking and goal achievement?

Well, sometimes we can just fail to take action because we previously didn’t succeed in something totally unrelated or perhaps certain strategies haven’t worked out. Maybe teachings didn’t suit you but did work for others?

But we just need to accept there are pitfalls along the road to success. You have seen the success memes, right? The icebergs and the 3 feet from gold visuals?

For us as network marketers those shiny object temptations are always there to tempt us away from our good decisions of the past. Sometimes hard work begins to chip away at our belief and we can walk away from something that works towards something that promises us instant riches when in fact it is just as hard work when we strip away the shiny new  wrapping paper.

Let’s think about this indecision and doubt.

If it is to be it is up to me

That was a motivational quote on each table of a network marketing company seminar I went to many years ago. A company that I was the top retailer for in the 1980’s. I worked my nuts off to live that dream until the day they pulled the plug.

I did the same for Success University. Boy, I learned a ton of stuff from my mentor about email marketing and solo ads and just as I was about to push through and win at last, the plug was pulled and it went under.

But all the time that was happening, I was learning. I was building up my network marketing C.V.

I didn’t stop and ask What If? I moved on to the next opportunity and have ended with a residual income from my current business, something I have been active in for nearly 10 years.

All the time during those 10 years I have been tempted by friends to move onto something new and tempting. I just never saw the need. But sometimes, when there is a lull in sales, like during the Covid-19 pandemic, perhaps a What If comes along to tempt me.

Then my decision making just maybe, maybe, might create one of those sliding doors moments. Do I stay or do I go…. and of course, I have always stayed because the business I have has hundreds of people just like me who are still believing they can achieve their dreams through our current project!

I feel a responsibility for them. Just like my 3 children, my step children, my 9 grandchildren, I feel a responsibility for setting a good example. My network marketing team have trusted me either directly or indirectly and that is sometimes how leaders fail.

As a network marketing sponsor you take on other peoples dreams. They are often sold that the opportunity we promote, not always by sponsors but by companies, that lives can be changed for the positive , either through the products or through the compensation plans if they just buy into something.

That often means people just think that buying something leads to success, when in fact it requires hard work.

One of my mentors in my main opportunity has 1.6 million high ticket sales under them and a residual monthly income of high 6 figures! Do you think that happened without hard work from them or their team leaders? NO! It requires total commitment. No Maybe’s or What If’s. Full on commitment. Total determination and application.

Why am I writing this post?

If you have read this far, you can probably tell that I have had a bit of a moment of decision making. When I have looked at where I am in business, I have realised that IF IT IS TO BE, IT’S UP TO ME!

I am not going to be looking back at my network marketing business in a couple of years and think, What If or Maybe, I recognise that my financial destiny is in my own hands and I do not need to look elsewhere for my fortune. It is already within my reach.

Where are you on your network marketing journey? Are you where you want to be? What is stopping you?

I hope you can look at the posts within this blog for guidance to achieve you goal but whatever you do, don’t give up. On the other side of effort, the rewards are amazing.

BE YOUR OWN CEO!

Pete is an Enagic Distributor: FIND OUT MORE HERE

The post What If? Maybe first appeared on Pete Chapman.

Yes. I am in my 10th year with Enagic and Kangen Water. I have used the product every day for all that time and I have promoted it consistently, making over 1000 sales within my organisation of Enagic products, supplements, water ionisers and shower systems.

The business has now given me a consistent passive income for at least 8 years of that time and with its big ticket compensation structure some months that can be quite substantial.

Why stay so long with the same company?

1. Company stability.

Over 40 years of history

Manufacturing its own products to a highest quality – medical grade in Japan where it is manufactured.

2. The product , Kangen Water (r), works to help people enjoy optimum health and it is organically shared by customers and distributors freely into their communities.

3. The compensation plan is most generous with personal sale and indirect sale commissions soon reaching the $1000 level.

4. There is a real sense of community and comradeship within the company, customers and distributor teams.

Let’s Here About The Product

Now Let’s Look At The Compensation Structure

So What Does It Take To Get Started?

The beauty of the Enagic Kangen Water business is that you just have to make a one off investment. Just buy one of the Kangen Water delivery systems, a simple home instal of a Kangen Water unit, and you have a business forever.

1. No monthly subscriptions
2. No volume qualifications
3. No joining fees or annual renewals
4. No stocks
5. Available no credit check financing available for most countries

So for me it was a no brainer. I just had to raise the funds or take out Enagic finance and I was up and running. I have the same unit being used in my kitchen since I began in August 2011! No need for renewal. An easy to maintain unit here in my humble kitchen in West Yorkshire U.K. although I do have one in our holiday home kitchen in Thailand.

In The Beginning

I began to use the water and share it with my family. My 3 children have a unit each in their homes now also. At the time I was suffering with diverticular disease of the bowel and within 3 weeks or so the symptoms of that became manageable and eventually disappeared.

So I gained confidence to share it with my friends and community and made a couple of sales.

I also began to talk about the water and the business on social media and on my wordpress blog and shared it with my online business community.

Within 2 years I managed to gain a rank advancement to the 6a leadership position and from that point I have never looked back.

I have travelled the world and met many wonderful people.  I have witnessed many small “miracles” in peoples lives. From health benefits to financial wellbeing. I have seen lives turned round , full of optimism, enthusiasm and passion for the and sharing the business with like minded people.

I see many people in the network marketing industry give up on themselves as they get discouraged by their companies, upline or product. Shifting from one thing to another.

With Enagic, once you have got started, you will always have a medical device in your home to use forever! You just never quit in the water!

And that is the beauty of it. The water works. You buy a Kangen device and you have great tasting, healthy water in your kitchen forever whether you work the business or not!

I wouldn’t be without it.

So There Is No End With Kangen

You buy a unit, either as a customer or as a distributor and you have a Kangen machine for life. Truly it has been my best investment ever!

It has helped my health and the health of 1000’s of people through my teams efforts. It has given me a source of income for 10 years and many more years to come.

Now that income is mostly passive. My global team are make sales every month through their own passion and belief.

Whether my customers build a business or not, I know that they are drinking the best water in the world from their own kitchen appliance – a Kangen Water machine.

We are helping the planet by reducing plastic waste. We don’t need bottled water. We just load up a BPA free bottle from home for the day and we are environmentally responsible.

Is It Time You Got Started With Kangen Water?

Have you really looked at this with an open mind?

There is tons of information on my Youtube channel with demonstrations, presentations, trainings by Kangen millionaires. Such a lot of great information for you to enjoy and form your opinions.

Then if you decide you need more information then just get in touch with me and I will provide it for you. If you are in the UK then I will even arrange a Kangen Water Trial for you to actually taste this amazing water!

Whatever you decide, I just wanted to make sure you are aware of Enagic. It is truly unique and those of us who are involved with are forever grateful that we did.

The post 10 Years With Kangen – What It Means To Me first appeared on Pete Chapman.

I took a step back in time today and reread Who Moved My Cheese by Dr Spencer Johnson. I was introduced to the book at work a very long time ago and I shared it with family. My daughter was having a clearout so I said I would have it and having read it again, I really appreciate the life lessons it brings for me right now. It might help you too!

n.b. I am not an amazon affiliate

Anyway, Change…. how do you manage it?

I think for marketers it really is a good thing to relook at what we are doing with our business because, just like Hem in the book, we can get stuck in a rut and the world begins to pass us buy. Little by little we can fall behind of the trends and advances in our industry and we can find it hard to update our approaches without a bit of pain.

“Life moves on and so should we”
― Spencer Johnson, Who Moved My Cheese?

On reading the book again I recognise that I have been in Hem mode for a few months and I need to begin to relook at how I am approaching my business because I don’t want to fall behind.

This Covid-19 pandemic has massively interrupted my Enagic business. I was doing regular offline seminars across the UK up until the UK lockdown started. So it has been really difficult to showcase my business by doing public presentations in live, physical situations and we have reverted to ZOOM presentations.

This reduces the connection to new customers but adaption has had to happen for sure as it is important that we don’t just give up but that we find new ways.  We  need to get back in the maze and search for New Cheese.

What Holds Us Back From Making Changes?

I think often there is a fear within us that stops us. I remember what Tony Robbins taught me many years ago. Decisions are made through the feelings of pleasure and pain.

So is it painful to change or is there pleasure in what lies ahead? W hat lies on the other side if we cast away our fear and take a step into the unknown?

One of the big decisions I have to consider this year is do I permanently move to Thailand for a new adventure or do I remain in the UK to continue to be nearer to my children and grandchildren? I am certainly in two minds and perhaps there is a little bit of Hem in me that resists making the move. Anyway, the decision will be made this year once the Covid situation has improved and I get answers to my questions. It may be a half way house of more time in Thailand to our house over there but treat out house there as a holiday home. Really not sure, but one thing is for certain, I WILL make a decision this year.

What decisions are you facing?

Are you happy with your current business? Do you need to make changes so that it works better for you? Perhaps you are looking for something new to plant your entrepreneurs hat on?

One thing is for sure, none of us can stand still and expect to have a forward projection in our lives.

When I worked as a leisure and sports industry manager I became passionate about quality management and I hung my hat on a Japanese word that kind of encompassed what I aimed for in the work place – Kaizen.

Kaizen means Continuous and Never Ending Improvement.

If we strive to be improving in all that we do then we will never stand still and our lives and work will continue to thrive. We used to talk about Total Quality Management, striving for perfection,  but in human terms, we know that perfection isn’t within us, we just need to be the best we can be. No-one is perfect.

So if we are a little like Haw and don’t stand still and keep searching, striving then we will not be left behind and we will have wonderful adventures.

I have been around a very long time – 73 years at the time of writing – and I have had many an adventure and in truth I really don’t want it to end.

So reading Who Moved My Cheese today really got me thinking what my next adventure will be. What my next business strategy will be? How am I going to keep advancing in my life to feel fulfilled each day.

It has given me a few ideas and that is what the book is all about, don’t you think? In fact all our learning, reading, watching, experiencing is designed to help us get further forward in our lives.

That is why I share these thoughts with you today. WE ALL DESERVE ADVENTURE IN OUR LIVES!

Standing still is not an option for us if we want to have experiences that are worth remembering in our last days! No regrets.

Like Stephen Covey shared in this 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People – BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND!

How will people remember you at the end? When you imagine yourself at your funeral what will be said? Will you have regrets?

Let’s not make that happen and remember:

The post Who Moved My Cheese – How Do We Manage Change? first appeared on Pete Chapman.

Social media has changed our lives forever. Our public profile, images and post will linger long after our passing.

I remember my days in the RAF as a young man, from 15 to 27 years old. If the images of my misdemeanours had been shared on social media, I would have struggled for employment long after, I think.

Nowadays employers investigate our output on social media. In our network marketing business, our prospects check us out right from the beginning. Engagement includes someone checking out your profile and historical posts.

Your political opinions, drunken party animal images, past business history, peoples comments about you are all laid bare for others to view and form opinions.

So, my friend, are you careful with your social media profile and posts. Are you continually building a positive brand and image.

History Coming Back to Bite You

A story in the UK news this week of a young football player with his career in front of him being hounded by an ill advised Tweet he made when he was just 15 years old!! Opinions long since passed but now brand him in a negative light it seems forever!

I have gone from one political view to massively change for another over the course of my lifetime. Had I sought a career in politics, my thoughts as a young man would have been used against me in my senior years.

Equally, if you are deemed a shiny new object network marketer, your brand is devalued when you begin to promote something you are really sure and passionate about.

I see lots of that on Facebook for sure. Networkers posting their brand new thing with a link and the only likes beneath the post are their own!! Very sad.

Building Your Brand and Positive Image

My Dream Builder Guide is all about helping you create a positive brand and image on social media, specifically facebook. It is FREE. Once you have downloaded it you get FREE Video content, a social media cheat sheet, 5 day video course and FREE membership of our facebook support group.

Whatever training or social media strategy you pursue, remember that what has been done cannot often be undone on social media. The internet has strange and mysterious ways of memorising the unpleasant or the embarrassing.

Always be aware that your output is your window into the world. You are trying to build positive relationships online that will serve you.

LIKE, KNOW, TRUST – Should be your mantra. Your output on social media builds your team, your tribe and can often put people off joining you.

The post Beware! Your Social Media Profile and Content Follows You Forever! first appeared on Pete Chapman.

I have tried to live by this mantra for a while now. Patience has been a challenge for me so I became determined to ensure I was at least kind hearted and became a much improved sponsor since that time.

I remember Zig Ziglar saying :

“You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

And that is the beauty of the network marketing model. As we help others, our rewards increase. The critical word there is “HELP” . Sponsoring a new and inexperienced distributor is more than selling them into an opportunity, making sure they buy the biggest package and starting pack, it is about committing to them from the beginning until a time when they can fly on their own.

That is when the requirement for patience comes in and the essence of #BeKind philosophy because when we truly have the best interests of those we sponsor, then the blessings of Kindness begin to pay off.

Lasting friendships are made. Trust is secured. Future opportunities can be shared based on mutual respect because YOU were there for them whenever they had worry, concern or doubt.

You were the cheerleader. The educator. The leader. You were patient and kind.

Now you WILL attact people to you and your team, because your reputation is one that people aspire to be part of.

Living Life With A True Compass

This is something I try my best to live by. I know I fail regularly, but the teachings of the Saviour and the Buddha give us.

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

” Jesus

“Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.” ~ Buddha

Not Everyone Get’s It – Continue To Be Kind

Summary

I hope this post feels genuine to you. I really believe this stuff! My business has grown so much because I changed my attitude. This was due to tragic and challenging events in my life in 2013. Bereavement and ill health overwhelmed me and then gratitude set in. As I was grateful to come through all that pain, I realised how truly blessed I was to survice it. From that point my whole attitude to life changed. #BeKind became my mantra and, without much effort on my part, I had THE most successful few months of my network marketing business life. Everything seemed to come together because, I believe, in my change of heart.

So I post this because I want YOU to succeed in your network marketing business. I would be most interest in your comments below. or by all means get in touch via FACEBOOK HERE. It would be great to connect. If you wish to send me a friend request. Please don’t forget to accompany it with a message so I know you are genuine.

Pete is a distributor with Enagic

The post Be Kind – The Key To Being A Compassionate Sponsor first appeared on Pete Chapman.

Is it the reputation of the industry? The cost of the products? The companies that go bust on wide eyed and bushy tailed wannabe’s who desire to get rich by channeling a couple of weeks energy on something new and shiny?

My thinking is this:

People give up before they realise their potential. Success doesn’t come quick enough. Something bright and shiny comes along to tempt them away from the last bright and shiny thing.

Some people don’t realise that it takes a bit of work to build a residual income within any Network Marketing business. I would say that is the curse of network marketing. Not staying in the game.

They say when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Well, to be honest, you don’t really need to be tough, you just need to do little things every day consistently over time and the effort is never wasted. Unless you are repeating strategies that do not work!

Like social media for instance. Blasting out propaganda about you product, how you are making a fortune etc all over the internet isn’t going to make too many friends. You need to be professional in your approach and you need to increase your audience every week, even every day.

I share how to do that in the newsletter you receive if you subscriber to my Dream Builder Guide from this blog or you can go to a resource offered by My Lead System Pro HERE  

The main thing is to work smart. Don’t parrot on the strategies that do not work for you in the past. You need to get some education on marketing, especially online strategies.

As I have always emphasised from the beginning of this blog creation:

Do Your Due Diligence before choosing an opportunity!

This is critical. Because if you are going to think long term you need a long term company. Check out the company and their products. Do some comparisons within the industry. How long have they been doing business? Is there integrity within the organisation. Do they offer support?

Let’s face it. You wouldn’t just buy any other kind of product or business investment without first checking it out thoroughly would you?

Choose A Sponsor Who Will Support You

The person who introduces you into any MLM/Network Marketing Business is your mentor in the beginning. They need to be able to help you with knowledge of processes and marketing strategies. If not them, you need to be in direct contact of the person or persons above them.  A  lot of so called MLM/Network Marketing sponsors are just sales people who are simply interested in the sale without ongoing support.

These are the two decisions that are critical to your success in this industry.

Product – Does It Inspire You? Do You Have Passion For It?

For me, this is important. Because if I have congruency with a product – believe in it – it gives me motivation to promote it. I get offered affiliate marketing and network marketing opportunities most days, but very rarely do I feel some inspiration in the products offered. For me, if I do not have integrity with any offer I make to my prospects then I just can’t get involved.

So choose the industry, product range that you feel you can promote over the long term.

The Money!

So here is the crux, I guess. If you want to promote this opportunity long term, how much are you going to be paid. MLM/Network Marketing Companies all sorts of ways for their distributors to get paid and most of them have monthly targets to reach to benefit fully from the pay plans.

For example – you would need to buy a certain amount of product before you can earn fully from anyone beneath you in the pay plan. You may need to recruit a minimum number of people or have a minimum number of people active. All these are ways to incentivise you to make sales and often a reason why most people give up!

Matrix, Binaries all sorts of systems which in the main are confusing and are created for the company finances  rather than the distributor network.

That is why, for my primary business, I chose a direct sales model that offers HIGH TICKET direct sales commissions and has offered me a residual income over 9 years. No monthly targets, a one off purchase (enabled with company finance) , an asset you can use for life,  once qualified always qualified, quickly to $1000 a sale and, of course, it is a product I have congruence with and passion for.

So, like me, you just need to go through all the considerations above and then STICK WITH YOUR CHOICE!

You maybe right where you want to be. You have chosen well from the beginning, or you are looking for something that lights you up right now, so now the important thing is to stick with it. Get the educational resources you need to make the most of your network marketing business.

Know that there are MILLIONS OF PEOPLE desperate for a secondary or primary income out there. They are searching for someone to follow, a sponsor who cares. Someone who is as committed to them as they are to their own success!

Is that you?

Are you someone people can rely on. Have you created for yourself  an AVATAR,  the embodiment of you to the outside world. Do you look as though you can be trusted, inspiring, likable?

You can start with your social media image. Is it professional. Are you posting positive stuff on facebook instagram etc or are you limiting your audience by being contentious? Do you share gossip or unseemly images?

Cut that crap out!

Have you identified the ideal prospect, customer? Are you posting, emailing to this audience? If I were you, I would do a bit of research on this – perhaps within your company. What age range buy your product. at income bracket? Nationality? The more you know , the greater your ability to appeal.

Don’t Give Up.

You hear this all the time, don’t you. Just paying your monthly product forever and not bothering to recruit anyone or share the products, is still giving up!

Continuing to market your product and business, in whatever small way, is NOT GIVING UP!

This is NETWORK MARKETING. You need to network and your need to market. Follow what successful people do and you will find success. Most of that is in the mental approach to business, as much as physical activity.

How you talk to yourself is most important. Your brain listens to your thoughts. If you constantly think you can’t do something, your brain will activate that for you in your everyday activity. It will save you the energy by saying, “Let’s just binge watch, VIKINGS on Prime today.” (really good series by the way)

How to network? I use social media and word press to spread the word and link all that to email marketing. Whatever suits you. I know many people who are successful using traditional phone, word of mouth marketing in this industry who are hugely successful.

The biggest industry in our niche out there is Network Marketing education. I offer FREE help in this blog but there are many commercial offerings out there. People like Eric Worre is good to follow in my opinion and EVENTS WIN PRIZES. If you promote events, your company events or other inspirational events to your team, then you advance the sales in your organisation. It is simple. You learn yourself, and your team gets inspiration too. A sure fire winner!!

So, I believe the curse of network marketing is giving up at the first hurdle. Not believing in yourself. Picking the wrong company and sponsor at the beginning and losing faith in the industry when in reality our success is within ourselves and not some external circumstance.

This blog is designed to help you succeed. I hope you find help in here, whether you join me in business or not. Because my friend, I believe you can succeed and I subscribe to the statement below……..

How I Was Attracted To Network Marketing?

It was the money. I make no secret of it. Right from the beginning as a young family, my wife and I needed extra income. From party planning plastic, costume jewellry and beauty products to beginning to build an online business with digital products, we began because we needed an extra income.

People sold us the efficacy and the uniqueness of the products we were promoting, but the reality was, we were searching for business builders to increase our outreach across the U.K. and, eventually, across the world!

So our focus was yes, we shared the product in home parties and demonstrations etc, but our primary search was to find ambitious people who wanted to take it to the next level.

Where is the Focus on Network Marketing Training Nowadays?

All the generic training is all about business building, recruitment. You only need to witness the rise of people like Eric Worre and Ray Higdon to see that.

There is a whole new digital industry on recruitment for the nework marketing niche.

Why? Because that is what people want. That is what they find the hardest. Knocking on doors and selling Avon etc, that is acceptable home business practice nowadays. Recruiting ambitious network marketers? That is a totally other kettle of fish.

So the Network Marketing companies educate their people on product, the network marketing millionaires focus on recruitment, either in their own business or generic training for others.

Residual Income Generation

Residual income doesn’t come from selling potions and collecting silver coins. etc.  It comes from building teams that duplicate.also means constency, team building over the long term, blood sweat and tears.

In my own business I have what may be called retailers achieving their first significant leadership position after 5 to 6 years and others who have done it in 3 months to 2 years. What is the difference?

The longer group focused 95% on the product. The shorter group 75% tp 95% on the business opportunity.

Both sold lots of product and benefitted customers with the product but one group did it the easier way by finding and helping people to build a residual business.

I always say, it is easier to sell 5 products to 20 people than 100 products to 100 people and you get the same result if you help people to understand how to recruit and duplicate themselves.

So My Question To You Is – What Are You Going To Be From Now On? A Business Builder or  A Retailer?ver

Over the last couple of years on this blog, I have shared ideas on duplication and networking to increase business. What kind of thing do YOU need to increase YOUR Network Marketing business to a level you would be happy with?

Please comment below and then let’s see if we can do something about that for you.
