Yet hundreds and thousands of network marketers <strong>constantly get cursed by failure</strong> while they are trying to reach their dream of reaching financial freedom.</p>
<p>So let’s dissect these curses and see what you can do to cure them.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #1: Prospecting VS. Marketing</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #2: Pitching Uninterested People</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #3: Running Out Of Prospects</strong></p>
<p>Everyone only knows so many people and when that list is exhausted you have to resolve to buying leads and pitching random people on the street. This &#8230;</p>]]></description>

Yet hundreds and thousands of network marketers <strong>constantly get cursed by failure</strong> while they are trying to reach their dream of reaching financial freedom.</p>
<p>So let’s dissect these curses and see what you can do to cure them.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #1: Prospecting VS. Marketing</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #2: Pitching Uninterested People</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #3: Running Out Of Prospects</strong></p>
<p>Everyone only knows so many people and when that list is exhausted you have to resolve to buying leads and pitching random people on the street. This can be tiring and expensive. Instead of doing this, you need to be attracting people towards you by advertising and creating good and free content by using a source as abundant as the Internet.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #4: Running Out Of Money</strong></p>
<p>Most Network Marketers spend all their savings because they are not able to recruit enough people in their first few months. Remember that this is sales and it does take some time for your pipeline to grow. The solution is to have a Funded Proposal where you can make smaller but decent income in a matter of weeks, not months even if people DO NOT join your main MLM business.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #5: Little Or No Duplication</strong></p>
<p>The average Network Marketer still has a full time job. So where will they find the time to train every single one of their new recruits? It becomes an endless and tiring cycle of training new reps and retraining old reps. Instead, there needs to be a system in place where new reps can go and plug themselves in to get all the training they need through webinars, tools and resources.<span id="more-276"></span></p>
<p><strong>Curse #6: Repeated And Wasted Effort</strong></p>
<p>Going to 10 meetings a day to pitch your business opportunity for your entire career as a network marketer can be extremely challenging. People run out of steam and it becomes very repetitive. It is easier to be able to create good content like articles and videos and post them on specific sites online where they will never disappear and will work for you on auto pilot 24/7.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #7:  Unable To Build Trust Without Constant Follow Up</strong></p>
<p>In order to be successful, network marketers are always playing the “follow up” game. It is essential to building trust with prospects especially when you start to hit the cold market. You can build a much more meaningful relationship with your prospects on auto pilot just by setting up your own auto responder email series and incorporating videos and other media of yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #8: Stuck In Prehistoric Times</strong></p>
<p>Over 95% of Network Marketers out there are still stuck in prehistoric times and are using very old methods which are ineffective for most people, to try to capture modern day prospects. Why not use current forms of marketing like the Internet and other modern day tactics which are much more effective.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #9: Wrong Mentality</strong></p>
<p>A lot of Network Marketers out there think that this business is a “get rich quick” thing. They come in with the wrong attitude, get burnt and then wail about how all MLM’s are a scam. The sooner they understand that Network Marketing is a real business and takes time to build, the better it will serve them.</p>
<p><strong>Curse #10: Over Diversifying</strong></p>
<p>Spread your eggs into different baskets. That is what we are taught. We are not buying stocks and investments here however. And with Network Marketing, it is important to focus on ONE opportunity. How can you expect to be successful in 3 businesses, if you are not even successful in one? FOCUS is key.</p>
<p>By conjuring healing spells to these 10 curses, I was finally able to put myself in a good position and get some very good results in my business.</p>
<p><strong>PS. Are you sick and tired of getting sub-standard results online, spending hours on the Internet but can&#8217;t seem to generate any leads or any profits? Then let me show you the exact blueprint that I have used personally to generate free leads into my business and recruit people into my organization.</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>This is a great topic that not that many people speak about which is why I wanted to mention it.<br />
Now what do I mean by outsourcing? Well what I mean by that is actually hiring other people to do your dirty work for you! And when I say dirty work, I’m talking about things that don’t really earn you that much money, but you spend a ton of time on! </p>
<p>You guys know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m talking about things like adding 50 friends on Twitter everyday, or adding 30 friends on Facebook everyday. Writing articles and posting them on websites like Squidoo, Hubpages and Ezinearticles just to name a few. All this stuff takes up a lot of time. You could spend hours just coming up with good content to put up on your article sites and these really don’t generate too much traffic for you at the start. But of course is very important to keep doing because it generates leads over time.</p>

Now what do I mean by outsourcing? Well what I mean by that is actually hiring other people to do your dirty work for you! And when I say dirty work, I’m talking about things that don’t really earn you that much money, but you spend a ton of time on! </p>
<p>You guys know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m talking about things like adding 50 friends on Twitter everyday, or adding 30 friends on Facebook everyday. Writing articles and posting them on websites like Squidoo, Hubpages and Ezinearticles just to name a few. All this stuff takes up a lot of time. You could spend hours just coming up with good content to put up on your article sites and these really don’t generate too much traffic for you at the start. But of course is very important to keep doing because it generates leads over time.</p>
<p>Now, when I was first introduced to this concept of outsourcing, I didn’t really think too much of it because I wanted to do everything myself. It was my home business. I wanted to be involved. I wanted to have control over everything. But after a while, it didn’t make much sense because there was so much to do, there’s only one of me, and I was spread too thin.</p>
<p>Then I really started to ask myself, do I really need to do all this by myself? And the answer ladies and gentlemen is NO! This is a business! Just because this is a home based business, doesn’t mean that you need to do everything yourself! Ask yourself this question &#8211; what other businesses out there have just one person working in them? Very few. </p>
<p>You need to start delegating your tasks to other people and really concentrate on the money making activities of your business. Because really, making 50 friends a day on Twitter is great, but is it really putting money in your pocket? Could you be doing more productive things than spending 3 hours a day on Youtube? Definitely.</p>
<p>If you look at all the leaders in the MLM industry, they delegate most of their work. And you don’t have to be a leader to start looking into outsourcing. And I know what you’re thinking. What if you’re just starting out in Network Marketing? Should you be outsourcing? YES! Even more so. Because when you start, that’s the time when you need the most help. Think about how much more quickly you could develop your business if you had help.</p>
<p>Now people think that outsourcing is expensive, but the truth is, there is many different types of outsourcing. And there are a lot of people out there who are willing to do work for very little. Just check out websites like elance.com where there are a ton of very qualified free lancers who will be more than willing to take on your projects. </p>
<p>So outsource guys! A very simple but important concept which is key in this business. </p>
