The Top 10 Curses Faced By Most Network Marketers And How To Cure Them!

by Aaron Chen • September 30th, 2009

spells2 The Network Marketing industry has the power to build more millionaires than any other industry in the world. Yet hundreds and thousands of network marketers constantly get cursed by failure while they are trying to reach their dream of reaching financial freedom.

So let’s dissect these curses and see what you can do to cure them.

Curse #1: Prospecting VS. Marketing

Most network marketers are told by their upline to “prospect” and pitch other people their opportunity. This means that you are constantly chasing other people. By “marketing” your business the right way using articles, videos, blogs etc. you can position yourself as a leader and attract prospects towards you and your business.

Curse #2: Pitching Uninterested People

By pitching every Tom, Dick and Harry your opportunity, you are pitching to a group of unqualified, uninterested people. By using tools available online and by using smart marketing tactics offline, you can target a specific market of interested, qualified people who are NOT your friends and family.

Curse #3: Running Out Of Prospects

Is Market America A Pyramid Scheme? Is Team National A Pyramid Scheme? Here Is The Pyramid Scheme Definition!

by Aaron Chen • August 19th, 2009

So the question is, are these companies really pyramid schemes?

To start off, I want to get the meaning of pyramid scheme out of the way. So here is the pyramid scheme definition.

It is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money for enrolling people into a scheme where there is no real product or service. I just want to repeat that. There is NO REAL product or service. So what happens is, eventually the number of new recruits fails to sustain the payment structure and the scheme collapses with most people losing the money they paid in. And the reason is that distributors concentrate on the money that they can earn by recruiting new people and completely ignore the marketing and selling of any products or services. Because there are none!

So just to clarify, a pyramid scheme is illegal.

This is very different to Network Marketing where a company decides to sell their products direct to the consumer through word of mouth. They use this method instead of paying for advertising costs. So instead of paying the advertising companies, they pay their distributors commissions for doing the work. So in reality, the main goal is …

Attraction Marketing Basics: STOP promoting your business, and start BRANDING YOU!!

by Aaron Chen • May 29th, 2009

What exactly am I talking about here? Stop promoting my business? Are you nuts?!

Most MLM sponsors teach their downlines the worst ways to market their business, especially in today’s day and age. Downlines are instructed to push their company and to push their brand. Most of the time they are given corporate replicated websites, which unfortunately, most people turn off to. And that’s a fact! And you know what? It’s not your sponsors fault. Because most of them don’t know any better.
The problem is, in today’s world, the Internet is blitzed with advertising. Everyone has the best deal, the best company, the best marketing plan, the best wonder drug! And this has made the average person immune to advertising online.

The key here is not to brand your business opportunity, but to brand you! This is also known as Attraction Marketing. People buy from people. People like to buy from people that they respect and trust. They are not looking for another business opportunity, they are looking for a leader! A leader that will show them exactly how to succeed in the Network Marketing industry.

So how do you brand yourself as a leader? Well the first step …
