Network Marketing Success

I have finally cracked the code of networking marketing success. No, I am not a millionaire but I am earning a respectable amount of money that allows my wife to stay at home with the kids. For me, that is better than being a millionaire. I didn't get into this business with any dreams of making millions, I just wanted to make some extra money. For a few years, I didn't earn thinning and everything I tried to do failed. I'm sure this happens to many people who try networking marketing. Most people fail and give up but only a few stick with it.

Sticking with it isn't always enough because network marketing takes a lot of skills to make it work. These are skills that most people do not have. The companies will allow you to sign up knowing that you don't have the skills to be successful and their idea of training is often a joke. They teach old fashion direct sales that doesn't work and that is embarrassing to do. I know I felt like a fool going up to strangers and trying to get them to sign up for a MLM program that I hadn't earned money with.

I knew that there had to be a better way. I also didn't want to try and build a down line, it made me feel dishonest to pitch the benefits of something that never worked for me. I decided to stick with MLM and networking marketing programs that offered quality products that people actually needed. I didn't want to promote junk because my heart would never be in it and I needed products that I saw value in. I believe that this is a key to network marketing success. Most people don't believe in what they are promoting and the people they try to sell to know it, they can tell.

Once I had the right program, the right products and the right belief system, I still needed a way to marketing my products. As said above, I refuse to do direct sales. I hate approaching strangers and I'm not the salesman type. I started to learn about internet marketing and I decided to try and sell my products there. For many months I didn't make any money. I wasn't ready to call it quits yet so I started studying more about marketing and why people buy.

Learning why people buy was the biggest paradigm shift I had ever experienced. It helped shape my mind and it taught me how to think about the marketing game in a new way. I used this knowledge to approach network marketing in a new way. I had a new type of vision that allowed me to promote my products in a more effective way. This is how I started making money. I now feel like these skills are very transferable and that I can move beyond network marketing and into different forms of business. I suppose you have to just take the time to the right skills.
