4 Lessons MLM distributors can learn from Michael Jackson

michael jacksonImage by Ben Heine via Flickr

There was a sudden silence and a feeling of shock as the world witnesses the passing of a great soul, the man dubbed as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. This child prodigy of the 70’s has evolved and become one of the most respected icon in the music industry, His music touched a million souls. His life was a great big adventure that continues to inspire thousands of his fans and followers even he is no longer with us today.

So what can we learn from Michael Jackson that would help us become our own King in the MLM industry? How can we inspire people and touch people’s lives in a way that we too, may hopefully, get near to the kind of impact Jackson did with his won league of fans? Let’s look at four lessons MLM distributors can learn from the great Michael Jackson.

Lesson #1: Man with a Vision

Michael Jackson is a man with a vision. At the young age of 5 he began to entertain people and believed in giving the best every time he hit the stage. It doesn’t stop there. Michael Jackson believed in himself without a shadow of a doubt. He believed that he could break through this racial discrimination and capture the hearts and minds of people from all races and unite them through the power of music. His vision became a reality and Jackson became a musical legend.

Lesson #2: Breaking Barriers

Jackson doesn’t impose a glass ceiling that would stifle his true potential in the music industry. He refused to acknowledge that his music is only suitable for the blacks. When the Jackson 5 started their musical odyssey back in the 1970’s, the world was still shackled by silent racial barrier and segregation of music between the races. Jackson believed he has the talent and ability to entertain, amuse and inspire people with his own kind of music. He introduced a new wave of revolution that shattered the barriers between the black and the white music.

Lesson #3: Consistent Quality

Even when Michael has become a very successful entertainer and a multi-millionaire, his passion or excellence and quality doesn’t stop. He practiced endlessly before every single performance even to his last breath for the believed in giving the best shot in everything you do in life. This is one quality that MLM distributors can learn and emulate from the King of Pop.

Lesson #4: Fighter

This might be the most valuable legacy Michael jack son for us all. His enduring spirit and belief in his own ability propelled him to move forward and strive to improve his life for he better even when he’s 50 years old, frail, sickly and buried with a 500 dollars million in total debt. When other people were too busy speculating about his upcoming bankruptcy and his financial demise, Michael Jackson kept busy on the more important things-to take charge of his life and doing whatever he can to change it for the better. Even during his last breath, Jackson was still moving forward doing what he needed to do to save his empire-to prepare for a mega exposure worldwide show which could have helped save his empire and get him out of debt. Michael Jackson was a fighter and this is a very important trait all MLM distributors should possess if we want to learn the steps to success from the King of Pop.

The passing of Michael Jackson touched all of us on a deeper level, and the love and legacy he left behind will continue to live and inspire us all.

MLM Training: 29 Characteristics Of An MLM Leader

A sketch of the human brain by artist Priyan W...

Image via Wikipedia

Having trouble with getting your downline to be motivated, productive and to follow your MLM training guidance and suggestions? Here's 29 proven actions that successful MLM leaders do; written by a leader with a downline of 56,000 people.

1. A network marketing leader doesn't wait until he/she gets a large group before becoming a leader. It can't work that way, because you would never get the large group if you're waiting to be a leader first! Nor does the leader wait until they feel they possess the knowledge to lead; rarely they do. My observation is that leaders select themselves by taking on responsibility (the total reason something happens or doesn't happen), rather than just the desire to lead. Want to be a leader? Go grab enough responsibility that it makes you feel like quitting every day; then don't quit.  Congratulations, that's LEADERSHIP. From that basis there are many other attributes you can develop.

2. At events, the leader arrives early and reserves chairs for their entire group in the front row. Yes, there are normally only two front rows (left and right).  If you're in the 2nd or 3rd row, you're still considered a leader. I spent five years getting up earlier than anyone else to make sure that my group had the front row. What I've found is that there are very rarely more than two leaders in any room; please understand what I mean by this. Once a person gets to a certain level of success, they will stop doing these simple leadership things because of ego. They suddenly become "too knowledgeable" to sit and listen to a speaker that has less time in the MLM business than them. If you remain humble and hungry the world is yours. So is the front row,by the way.

3. A true leader realizes that there is a difference between being a leader and being a leader of people. More on this later.

4. Network marketing "works" under many conditions, but when those relationships between you and your organization become tight and an "esprit de corps" is created, there's nothing like it. I do mean nothing.

5. Appearance is impeccable. Even in jeans.

6. A leader "appears" organized: much like ducks cruising smoothly across the water, however, no one sees or knows how radical and out of control their feet are pedaling.

7. Leaders of people treat their people with respect. Respect means you have a good opinion of their character or ideas. Simply put, you are interested in your people, their ideas, their complaints, their fears, their successes; THEM!

8. As a leader, you develop or find five "Top Producers." Devote yourself to them. Find three qualities that you like about each person. Write those in your day planner. Review them frequently, thinking of how you can help bolster one of those attributes. Bolstering an attribute can be many things: from a good verbal acknowledgement; to giving a telephone headset to someone as a gift who is working hard at making calls; to being their friend when they have a personal crisis.

9. New leaders are let down often by those they devote themselves to. Why? Because you selected the wrong person to devote yourself to. You only get good at character choosing with experience. Track record is really the only place to look first. What has the person been doing with their time; and what does the person do with his or her time? People are what they spend their time doing. Most great leaders begin in a hole and are mad about being there. Of highest concern is whether or not the person has been advancing. If they're not, it might take a lot of work on your part; perhaps more work than you've already been doing. Every person who's ever had the tough decision of choosing between lose two or lose one knows that this is one of the toughest decisions in life. Albeit controversial, do not sink yourself if doing so won't save your mate. Cut away when you feel you're being pulled under. If you help "able" people, they will help more people. If you try to help an unable person, they may sink you on their way down.

10. The network marketing leader organizes MLM training sessions and gets the product or service "specialist" in front of their group; whether it's in person, on a conference call or on an audio or video. Example: your company carries a nutrition line created by Dr. Whoever. He specializes in human nutrition, and created an ingredient that is in your products that is truly unique. The leader will somehow get that doctor on a conference call with his or her group to raise their belief in the products.

11. A network marketing leader always gives "back" more. Example: let's say that there's a foul-up in processing distributor agreements in your downline. You get the distributors on the phone with a customer service rep that handles the situation. You know that that customer service rep really worked hard to help the situation. Yes, it's their job, BUT, the leader will send that customer service rep a bag of M&M's or flowers or something to say "thank you for going above the call of duty." What do you think that customer service rep will do for your group now? Just about anything.

12. The leader climbs the ladder and finds out who the decision makers are at the company, and gets to know them but never bugs them. This is positioning yourself so that opportunity can see you. This is different than you seeing opportunity. Suddenly you find yourself speaking at the convention…hmm, I guess it was just luck. Yeah, right!

13. At the company conventions, the leader will introduce the corporate staff to their organization and vise versa. Even the order takers! Take the time to do this because it creates a sense of belonging for both the corporate staff as well as the distributors. Imagine the difference when a biochemist for a company has met 100 real people with dreams and passions about selling his/her product. Do you think that creates a stronger passion for the biochemist to create better products? Absolutely. All of this "belonging" and "passion" was created because of your leadership.

14. A leader in network marketing is the switchboard of information and communication. They're not "in the loop." They ARE the loop.

15. A leader can always be reached by fax, email and/or phone. Returned communication will occur in less than 24 hours. If that's not a possibility, the message will indicate that it might be longer.

16. A leader never exposes weakness and fear to their organization. Some view me as being "inhuman" or robotic on this. What I mean by this is that the leader must always maintain their certainty about both the business opportunity and the MLM training system. I've never met a person in my life that doesn't have fears and weaknesses. If you've got fears or doubts about your company, get over them or get out. Fly to the company today and get your concerns handled. Come back and be a rock for your group. I guarantee they'll follow you. Conversely, share with them your little uncertainties and they'll be so relieved that you're "human"...and they'll also find another leader to follow.

17. Recognizing that everyone is growing, a leader never invalidates the efforts of anyone in his or her organization. One person brings six guests to a meeting, another brings two, and the third brings none. The leader is able to notice that person number three is there, which might have been a major growth step for them. So instead of criticizing them for not bringing a guest, they praise them for being there.

18. The leader is always searching for and praising something about his or her people. "Little babies love praise, but grown men will die for it." Men in battle will risk their lives for a 1"x1" ribbon they pin onto their shirt above their left chest pocket. They wear this ribbon for the world to see. Forgo praise and you've missed out on the most powerful tool in your leadership arsenal. Praise for things they've yet to do, and you'll create a person who withdraws from the group because you made them a fake.

19. If you share this list with your group, share whose content it is. If you don't, you will also be guilty of the last sentence of item #18: seeking praise, respect, fame, etc. for what you didn't do; makes you feel like a fake.

20. A leader uses and teaches new technologies in their organization; but only if it truly works. Don't drive your organization down dead ends.

21. Leaders are ethical examples. If you "sneak" your people past the registration table, you've just ruined their perception of you. They can never trust you and they shouldn't. You've got one shot at doing this right.

22. A leader creates alliances with needed national and international (if applicable) groups to ensure their group has support and representation. If no group exists, build it.

23. Leaders are more concerned about the growth of their people than the growth of their bonus check. Focus on the growth of your people; your bonus check will take care of itself.

24. A leader never says what they can get others to say. Example: my company calls and says, "We'd like you to speak at the company convention." I accept graciously and then ask "Would it be possible for me to include a new leader named _________? They're a good speaker and I would love to share the stage with them." See, a leader wants his or her people to be leaders.

25. A leader never, ever speaks ill of anyone; even if they deserve it.

26. A leader acknowledges other leaders in the room. "We are honored to have in the room with us Mrs. 77. She conducts business meetings in the 44 area."

27. A leader doesn't get bent out of shape because they don't get a return phone call from the corporate office; or the upline! More than once I've sent pizza to a department with special instructions to the delivery person telling them to say, "This pizza has already been paid for by Tim Sales. He asks only that after enjoying the pizza that you call him at 555-3797." Everyone laughs and guess what? You get a phone call with the right tone in their voice for getting something done. Anyone can complain; they're used to that. A leader finds amusement in creating more effective forms of communication.

28. A leader has a crystal clear vision about their network marketing company and where they're taking it. If the company doesn't have something, they don't complain, they figure out how to convince the company to get it.

29. A leader, after reviewing this list, will print it out and do at least one item everyday.

I sincerely hope this MLM training article has inspired you and given you some things to think about as you lead and build your organization.

There are more, but this should get you started.

Much respect and admiration,

Tim Sales

Why You Need To Write To Be Successful In MLM

writingWith every online business, writing articles is very important primarily because you can use it to market the products and services that your website offers. But when it comes to mlm companies, this is something that’s almost always overlooked. Fact is, most people focus on network marketing recruiting that they often forget the importance of branding themselves as experts.
Most often, people do not go to the internet looking for products and services to sell – they go to the internet to find information about problems they are encountering and the possible solutions for these problems. By writing articles, you can now become an authority on your chosen field and create a reputation for yourself and your business.

People would want to work with a leader who knows what he or she is doing – someone who teach them something. When you start writing articles to tackle issues related to your business, you not only drive traffic to your site and the mlm business opportunity you offer, you also create pages which prequalifies prospects.

Say for example you’re offering food supplements and write about topics like “Who should use supplements?” “Why you should use food supplements?” “What to look for in food supplements?” people who are looking for information about food supplements can go to your site and find everything they need! Now they can have a better idea why they should use the product you are offering and you have a shopping cart ready to take their order! Not only that, you also give them an idea who else in their family should utilize the product you are offering and you will then be referred around their circles and that’s free advertisement. And the advantages don’t stop there. People who are looking for legitimate business opportunities will also go to you first especially now that there are “real” people who have been able to test your products!

How To Fail In This Fast Paced World

RAMONA, CA - OCTOBER 30:  A real estate for sa...

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Some economists are saying – we are now experiencing the worst financial crisis in 60 years. That means that whoever wins the 2008 election will surely have his hands full.  Do you know how this problem started? Some economists are saying that this is because of the continuous downward spiral of real estate, judging whether this is true or not, is not something we are authorized to do.

While the world awaits for the next few days, the US economy is still experiencing hard times as stock prices continue to drop and no hope for respite can be seen. With all the doubt that’s proliferating today’s economy, one thing is certain: you can no longer afford to be indifferent.

In multi level marketing, just like real estate, there are two kinds of people – those who instinctively know how to proceed in order to succeed, and those who need to be shown what needs to be done. In the mlm system, those who belong to the first group are often the leaders while those in the second are the followers. The leaders are usually the owners of the business, if not the highest ranking sales person or the most awarded employee.  They are the best among the best, and are considered as the leader of the pack. They are the people who care – those who strive to give the best possible results.

Did you know that 68% of all American businesses fail because their owners just don’t care? In today’s world, you don’t need to have a college degree in order to engage in any mlm business opportunity. Technology has allowed the best people to move forward a hundred steps, living behind those people who can’t find a reason why they fail. While many embrace the advancement of technology and celebrate  quick success through new media, it is critical too to extend helping hands to those who may be struggling to keep up. In fact this is the true test of MLM leadership, only those who care enough to help others can really attain long term financial rewards.

How to Achieve Instant MLM Expert Status in 2 weeks

Lazy eveningImage by new-ars via Flickr

If you would want to reach instant mlm expert status in 2 weeks, you just need to do one simple thing—and that is to write good articles in order to promote as well as sell your products and services. If you would take a look at an mlm training system, the trainer would always mention the importance of writing good quality articles for your website, products or services. It would also help not only in attracting more downlines but also help in mlm downline retention.

Writing articles of good quality is a foolproof way in achieving mlm expert status in 2 weeks because when people read your articles and are attracted to your business as well as make them believe you are an expert, then this would help your business a lot.

If you are not an mlm expert, you can be one by doing serious research on your topic (about your product) and then create an article and publish it online. If people find yur articles helpful and useful, then you will ore often than not achieve instant mlm expert status.

Publishing your articles online will also produce instant traffic, and that is a good mlm lead generation tactic that is usually successful. Of course, the more people visit your site, the more they would know about your business which would translate to a lot of potential clients who could turn out to be your best clients.

Achieving instant mlm expert status could be possible even in just two weeks for as long as the articles you publish online have the right content—those articles would be a good tool to increase not only your sales but also your downline retention (if you have them). Even in the mlm leadership training, this advise has been spelled out and that is why a lot of businesses resort to web content articles in order to promote their products and services.

Understand These Two Basic Secrets to Sponsoring and Recruiting, You’re On Your Way To Freedom

Smiling often reflects a sense of humour and a...Image via Wikipedia


There is no one right way when it comes to sponsoring and recruiting. Nevertheless, if you have this key attitude of mind in approaching your sponsoring and recruiting process, you're definitely going to be much happier and more productive in your home business.

Here are the secrets:

Secret Number One: Follow-Ups

You heard me before saying that the money is in the list. The fortune is in the follow up. This is true. The money is actually being made during the "follow-up" conversation after a presentation has been given, and any questions have been answered. This is when your prospect actually buys something.

That being the case, the "follow-up" process is where you want to spend the majority of your time. The more follow-ups you have, the more orders you take.

There are two types of follow-ups: Active and Passive.

1. Active follow-ups consist of the personal calls you have with the prospects who have voluntarily shown an interest in becoming a customer or distributor.

2. Passive follow-ups is where you can leverage your time and efforts by building rapport, respect, and a relationship with your prospects via an email auto responder

But, calling your leads personally will always bring better results. You have a much higher chance of getting them to buy or join your business.

This is human psychology. People who are willing and ready to spend on your offer would like to know who you are in their eyes, there is a real person behind the system on whom they can rely to help them. Simply, people want to talk with real people. Your phone calls give you the ultimate competitive advantage in today's saturated "mlm systems"

If you are expecting to build your business from your computer without talking to anyone, you're misled. It is not your fault. The online MLM market has become saturated with systems promising things like:

No selling,
The system does the work for you,
We close sales for you,
You don't need any skills,
No phone calling,
No prospecting,
Build your downline on autopilot.

They are so attractive for they offer a much easier and better alternative to the "traditional prospecting" methods. Finally! No more cold calling, buying leads, home meetings and hotel meetings. But watch out!, there is no truth to it. You still need to bring in your leads in order to earn money from the pool.

I must say I was sold on Attraction Marketing for I don't have to rely on cold calling, buying leads and hotel meetings. Attraction Marketing is still great because it better qualifies prospects and allows me to talk with more qualified prospects that want what I have. This is better than wasting my time chasing dead end leads that aren't very interested in a business opportunity.

First Approach 2% sign, Second Approach 3% sign ,
Third Approach 4% sign, Fourth Approach 5% sign and
Fifth Approach a WHOPPING 80% sign.
Never forget to go back to the people you have approached. You might be the 5th approach!

Secret Number Two: Posture

If you're going to sell something to someone, you've got to find a way to get "invited" into their world as a welcomed guest, instead of a pest.

If you want to make the sponsoring process effortless, you need to increase your value to your prospects by increasing your level of knowledge and experience like showing them how to generate their own leads online, how to build their own capture pages and etc.

Recruiting is about leadership and you must demonstrate that you are the leader through both verbal and non-verbal cues, otherwise they will not join you.

Here are some examples of you having good posture:

1. Be healthy and fit. People who stay fit are more attractive. It shows self-respect and they generally have a more positive outlook about themselves.

2. Dress sensibly. It is better to be dressed neatly and not too much out of date fashion for it conveys a lack of social intelligence.

3. Be comfortable with yourself. Stand or sit relaxed and talk calmly. You're confident.

4. Have a sense of humor and smile. It is attractive.

5. Don't be needy. Having an abundance mentality will allow you to let go of your fears, your neediness and the emotional attachment to the outcome from prospecting.

6. Be unaffected by others. Don't react to people's bad emotionals or try to impress them.

7. Always be the one to lead interactions and conversations.

There are a lot of tips on recruiting on the Internet which will make a huge impact in your business. Believe it or not, when you can communicate well in all forms (email, copywriting and speaking), you will start exuding magnetism and people will be naturally drawn to you. This is one of the greatest gifts you'll ever receive. It will allow you to truly see yourself for who you are, where you're strong and where you're weak, which then gives you the ability to transform yourself in to who you want to ultimately become.

Being the Guru

The Thinker, Artist's rendering of the sculptu...Image via Wikipedia
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail” – experience notwithstanding.

Such words have been presented to us by one of the founding fathers, and their validity is still remarkable, nowadays. Granted, experience is an extremely important asset, and it’ll take you far along the cyberspace snakes and ladders; however something else is required to ascribe the far shores of being a true master. You should always keep in mind that genuine mastery is a by-product of experience enhanced with strategy.

Experience is what you get through practice: doing something over and over again, thus improving your skill. Strategy, on the other hand, is a mindset which provides for optimization and expansion of the learning processes. You can think of experience and strategy as analogs to practice and theory; while the former is all about doing things, the latter is exclusively concerned with optimizing everything we do. When you learn how to balance theory and practice, strategy and experience, rest assured: you’ll be on the high road to mastery of your craft.

When it comes to the power of networking, one of the most striking examples that comes to mind is the popular author Maki, of DoshDosh fame. This young Canadian writer has become a leading authority in on line entrepreneurship, and he’s quite a shining example of someone who effectively articulates experience with strategy. With his clear-cut dissections of the multi-layered mechanisms behind on line marketing, this author consistently bridges the gap between theory and practice:
“I’m using this blog as a journal to record down the experiences and observations which result from efforts on some of my other websites.”

Build Reputation Through a Strong Network
No man is an island, we’re all part of a vast continent. If this is true for the physical world, it’s arguably even more so within the realms of on line entrepreneurial. When it comes to building a reputation on the Internet, networking is instrumental. By getting to know people and exposing your content, your thoughts, and even your personality, you’ll be creating bonds that will strengthen your roots and help grow both your reputation and your business.

While building a strong network of friends, associates and followers, you’ll actually be creating a human structure that will allow you to gain exposure and influence, as your reputation builds up. Getting a unique voice is half way done towards success; once you’ve secured your identity and purpose, it will take people to listen and help spread your message. By combining effective networking with engaging content, your success will come naturally.

Delivering a consistent supply of high-quality articles thriving with meticulous yet engaging analyses, DoshDosh has grown notoriously more influent in the over-crowded niche of on line enterprising. As natural consequence, the author has been endowed with increasing editorial power, and a growing legion of followers and supporters. In just a few years, Maki has succeeded in captivating thousands of readers (his website currently boasts 16630 subscribers, from FeedBurner alone).

Be Seen Everywhere - Literally
Certain individuals are capable of amassing such a huge influence through their networking efforts, they can actually be compared to vast continents of the cyberspace, in their own right and merit. As we observe the examples from the great moguls, it becomes clear that who you are and what you can do is secondary to who you know. Not only that, it’s crucial to get around a lot, and participate in all available activities, events and meetings.

By taking active part in the on line communities, you’ll cement your commitment to your work, which in turn will strengthen your influence. As you get around and meet other people, you’ll also make sure people also get to know who you are, thus paving the way for a future thriving with influence and recognition. However, you should keep in mind there’s a fine line between promotion and spam. You should move yourself naturally around the social commitments, showing what you can  do, but never pushing it around.

Within a recent article on strategic collaborations, Maki has written that
“One of the best ways to promote your website or business is to work together with others to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.”
The author clearly demonstrates his understanding of the power of networking, and through his body of work, a central cornerstone translates the importance of getting familiar with the new Internet landscapes - including social media, social bookmarks, micro-blogging websites – all of which should be regarded as important business tools, and used responsibly.

Be Unique, Be “The One”
In order to be able to stand out from the crowd, you need to be able to offer some unique distinctiveness. No one will look up to you if you’re just like everyone else, since people keep looking for the next best thing available. This is what you should try to deliver – while avoiding to compromise who you are. If you want to be regarded as an authority, you must put your undivided efforts into acting like one; not just pretending, but actually being. Get ahead in your game, learn all there is to know about it, and keep expanding both your skills and networks.

Try to find your own unique voice, and work actively to make all the things everyone does, in ways no one else has thought of doing – yet. Quite often the most brilliant solutions are also the simplest, and yet people tend to get constrained with complicated lines of thought. By learning how to nurture your uniqueness and spontaneity, you’ll easily find yourself being looked up to.

It’s not by accident I’ve chosen to use this author as a case study to illustrate this specific article. For one, I’ve personally been led to several insights through his writing, and second the author really is a living example of the principles this articles intends to demonstrate. I once approached him via instant message asking for some advice for a new web host. Much to my surprise, he refused to make a simple suggestion (which could easily have turned out in $100 profit from affiliate sale). It was from then my suspicions were confirmed; there’s something to this author that truly sets him apart from the crowd.

Spread Out - Branch Your Service
When it comes to networking, it’s not just about people – it’s also about products, services and business. Just as you should work actively to expand your network of persons, you should keep trying to find new ways to expand your business networks. This is something you can do by finding new business, as well as just coming up with creative ways to make business; a good entrepreneur is always on the lookout for opportunity.

The modern technological days we live by are thriving with new opportunities which quite often go by unnoticed because people still think excessively inside the box. If you want to go a long way, make sure to take a step back from what you’re doing every once in a while, and figure out ways to make your service more competitive and exciting.

There’s an old saying around the realms of on line entrepreneurship that cautions us never to put our eggs in a single basket. On line marketing is not unlike a joint puzzle where all kinds of pieces are required; by developing new skills and delving into new opportunities, you’ll be actively increasing your odds of success. For a thorough demonstration of this principle, you should read this article about niche blogging:
“I’m a big fan of diversity when it comes to making money on line and I seldom focus exclusively on one niche or target market.“

Confidence - Develop a Guru Attitude
If you think for a moment about the most common trait uniting all guru types, you’ll probably realize that it’s most likely a pervading sense of unabashed confidence. They are special individuals who remain invariably confident in what they are doing, even when faced with adversity. They are highly creative and self-assured, without much need for boasting: this is the balance you should strive towards.

Going around telling others you’re a guru of something or the other really won’t cut it – not by a long shot. You need to do just the opposite: mind your own business, and do your best efforts; work actively so people will notice just how different you are from the pack, and try to remain in perspective. Cherish your experience, and nourish your planning skills. The road to being a guru is doubtlessly the road less traveled, because it requires a special kind of effortless effort and undivided commitment that not everybody is capable of. How about you?

The term “guru” is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, to the point it’s almost pejorative. A guru is by definition a “Meditation master who has attained oneness with God and who initiates others into the spiritual path and guides them to liberation.” When dealing with Internet Entrepreneurship, one could adapt this definition as “a master of strategy who has attained understanding of the Internet, who initiates others in the transcendent path, and guides them to self-sufficiency”.

Provided one would take such adaptation as accurate, then one should keep an eye out for the Canadian author who goes by the Internet handle “Maki”. To the best of my knowledge, he provides a good example worth learning from, and DoshDosh stands proudly as a leading haven for up-and-coming Internet entrepreneurs.

MLM Income 6 Tips To Start getting It

Cost-Volume-Profit diagram, showing relationship between Fixed Costs, Contribution, and Profit and Loss.

Image via Wikipedia

Everybody who is starting in a network marketing opportunity is doing it in order to make money of course. So it makes sense for him to start making an MLM income as soon as possible. After all any business wants to come into profits as soon as possible, why not your home business. Of course, the first thing you have to understand is that it is almost impossible to get into profits from the very beginning unless you did that for years as Distributor in another MLM opportunity.

How To Be An MLM Leader To Your Team

mlm leadershipDo you have what it takes to become an MLM leader? MLM is a challenging business and requires lots of hard work. In order to build a profitable and steady downline you need to exhibit these leadership traits.

Determination – It is an important ability especially to MLM business. If you keep at something long enough, it is definitely bound to work out and eventually succeed. You can apply this to your MLM team by continuing to come up with creative ways together of staying on the top of the competitions even though the competitors are tough.

Positive Attitude – Keeping a positive attitude is the key to running a smooth and efficient MLM team. A good attitude can see you through the hard times and your team will be more motivated to work harder when they see a positive future which you can lead them to.

Vision – Every leader needs to have vision regardless of which business they are in. This vision allows you to see what many others may not be able to – success. Besides imparting his vision to others through sheer enthusiasm, a good leader will be able to get everyone to work towards the vision.

I’m a strong believer that anyone can be a successful leader by going through the appropriate training and experience. If you are weak in some areas, continue to work on these areas. Remember to cultivate an environment where you teach these traits to those who follow you and you will become a respectful leader.

The Dream Team Formula system is the perfect system to provide you instant credibility as an MLM leader. By putting yourself in the position to give away your personal referrals to your downlines (in 1 line vertical spill-over), you are proving yourself to your prospects and downlines that you are committed to help them succeed instead of earning quick bucks as a heavy hitter.

How To Help Your Downline Do Something By Providing Network Marketing Leadership

Here’s a great article that I read about MLM leadership by Shon Christopher. I am so inspired by his idea that we are going to incorporate it in Dream Team Formula! We will be developing an automated incentivise system so that every leader who is using DTF will be able to reward your downlines according to the level of effort they put in.

We all have been there in some point of our career; we think we’re providing the right network marketing leadership but our downline just isn’t cutting it. We expect to get people in our group and give them a little advice and send them off from there. That is when the inevitable truth becomes clear, you’re being a strong network marketing leader and your downline isn’t doing anything. However, before you start pointing fingers and giving up on your group you had better take a look at your so called “network marketing leadership.”

Before you start putting down your network marketing downline ask yourself a few questions first. Ask yourself what you may not be doing and how you can better yourself and your group. If you expect to build a downline and then have them do everything from there on you are WRONG. Read More
