To me, success online can be found in the relationships you build. That is a subject you need to return to consistently. Building relationships on and off-line are necessary because it works to solidify your name with others. The more relationships you have in your specific niche, the more successful you will become. The lack of attention to relationship building holds most marketers back. Therefore, they are not making a commitment to building those successful dreams online.
In general, marketers never follow those practices for relationship building when starting out and consequently are the ones who are not making money. Marketers who are making money do follow a need to build relationships and follow that need very well!
Although, all of the key ingredients must be there, building relationships with other marketers is easy. A top sales letter is crucial with a great product to follow and absolutely an effective affiliate program. Also you must have targeted traffic to view your product. With all of these conditions met you can attract affiliates who will promote your product. If you have to give up most of your revenue to do it, do it.
What if you do not know a successful marketer? Well, then I suggest you spend the next several weeks getting to know someone you buy from and ask to be a JV. This is where your marketing practices and skills require meeting others, and building relationships.
What if you do not want to build relationships? You have to get outside your comfort zone and you have to do the necessary things it takes in order to make a lot of money online, and achieve your dreams. Therefore, you must work on building relationships
Some common questions people have are really just obstacles. Some examples include questions like, What if people do not like me. Well, I mentioned growth right? It is important for people to like you to work on growth. People like doing business with others they like. Read up and study how to get people to like you. I recommend How to Win Friends and Influence people by Dale Carnegie to help you in this area.
For the most part, we are all people just like anyone else. Top marketers have their faults. Some marketers have their disadvantages, issues and problems just like everyone else. In other words, you do not have to be some charismatic Anthony Robbins type person to do business in this industry.
You can just be yourself. Some people will not like you and that is fine. You can not please everyone all of the time. Honestly, who really cares? There are plenty of people who will like you and guess what?
They are most likely just like you. They have the same wants, desires and needs. They are like-minded people. They are interested in the same things you are interested in. Therefore, a pretty good chance exists they will like you, if you let them.

Beware - The Three Types of People in Network Marketing!
There are only three types of people in network marketing. Figure them out and save time, hassles and headaches! To have a successful MLM (multi-level marketing) business you will need to filter through the Promise makers and Procrastinators to find your real Players. We'll call them the three P's to make it easy to remember, let's get started.
First you have the super excited, ready to take on the world, heavy hitting LOOSERS! No I'm not being too harsh, that's what they are. All hype, full of promises that they are going to build this thing to the moon with you and then give up before they even get a single sign up or shortly there-after! All talk and no walk. Often times these people underestimate the actual work involved in building a thriving MLM business. All of the sifting through the mines required before you find the gold!
That's what working an MLM business is all about! Sift for gold and when you find it, polish it. You don't go trying to turn a stone into gold by rubbing it hard enough! Same goes for wasting time trying to re-motivate these promising losers once they've hit the highway, off to look for an easier ride.
MLM is a tough business. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar! You've got to have tough skin to handle rejection. Just think how exhausted these gold miners were back in the day. But when they found their gold... OUUUUUUU EEEEE LOOK OUT! They became almost overnight millionaires, and the same is true with MLM. Now thank god we have much more sophisticated sifting tools to help us in our prospecting. It would be like trying to build a downline without harnessing the prospecting power of the Internet! We are really living in an incredible age with all that is at our disposal!
Next in line, the second category of the three types of people in network marketing are the Procrastinators. Usually Procrastinators tend to be our closest friends. We want them in the business so bad we listen to all of their excuses, put off's and "next week"
answers to joining the business. These Procrastinators are always eager to join in the beginning just "not now". Right? Ya, we know all too well the Procrastinators. Undoubtedly next week rolls around and they have another "legitimate reason" or excuse why now isn't the right time either or avoid your calls altogether. The truth is with Procrastinators; it is never the right time!
Don't count your eggs before they're hatched! One good way to get a Procrastinator to move it or loose it and take action is to scare the living ba-jesus outta them. Put the fear of loss into them. Of course you've got to be confident when saying this. You counteract a Procrastinator with this "Boy, are you ever going to kick yourself in the butt. I'm doing this with or without you and you have a chance to grab a top position in my matrix right now. You will forever regret not making the smart decision". Ouch! How would you like hearing that from a good friend? Let me tell you, that little gem of a phrase will help you to separate the Procrastinators from the Players. And all you need on a winning team in a few great Players!
Finally, the last category of the three types of people in network marketing are the Players. The Gold we all hoped we attracted right out the get go when we first built out MLM businesses. It takes a lot of sifting to find these people. But here's the good news you only need a few of them! A few pieces of gold are worth much more than a sack full of rocks!
Players have distinct qualities. They play the game, do the numbers, make the calls, make the sales, and do something when they say they will. They are natural born leaders, people that take the initiative to do things on their own. They have what it takes to stick in the ring and play another round. Players get the work done and stick to their vision. Sure they may have bad days or weeks like the rest of us, however their vision of the future is stronger than defeat. That's why when you find a player, you spend time polishing them, just like the rare gems that they are!
Remember the 80/20 rule. Only 20% of your team will perhaps be Player material. Spend 80% of your time working and helping them get to the next level in the marketing plan. Let the other 80% to the demons with which they allow to infect their minds. The excuses, the "cants", the "it's just not the right timing for me". We've all heard this before, even after people sign up in the business!
Keep one thing straight in your mind. Become fascinated by the people that don't take your incredible opportunity and ride it to the moon with you. Being fascinated saves you a whole lot of frustration too! I hope this article on "The three types of people in network marketing" has armed you with a few more tools to add to your belt in helping you build your MLM Empire.

Top Network Marketing Companies - 4 Tips To Select The Best One!
Joining the top network marketing companies is no guarantee of success for a number of reasons.
If you are currently exploring the MLM business and trying to decide which of the thousands of network marketing companies to join, then pull up for a minute and listen to what I've got to say.
Let me say I thought long and hard about writing this article because the idea of someone spending a lot of time researching which MLM company they should join made me chuckle.
Why?
Well, with the reputation the industry has developed regarding aggressive recruiting practices anyone looking for a company to join would seem like a fish looking for a net to jump in. Be realistic, how many people have actually found you and begged you to show them the plan?
There are several aspects of the network marketing business which you need to understand before parting with your joining fees. There may be several reasons why a network marketing company is at the top of the tree and it's more than likely they have been around for a long time.
Is this a good recipe to join a company? Should the fact they have been in business for 10, 15 or 20 years be your sole consideration for jumping on board? Not on your life!
You see, network marketing companies are starting up all the time. While many go out of business for various reasons just as many will appear on the horizon. Why do they go out of business? Poor product choice, bad marketing but most of all, lack of capital and a good business plan.
Here's a simple process for deciding which of the top network marketing companies you should consider joining.
1. Look for a company which is showing steady growth in the first five years of operation. Most don't survive this heady period.
2. Look at the companies management team. Are they experienced network marketers with a solid track record in the industry.
3. If possible, try to get a handle on the company's financial situation. Do they have solid financial backing to survive the first few years in business while they are getting established.
4. In my opinion, probably the main consideration and that is what does the company have to offer in the way of products? If they are offering what everyone else is then move on.
Top network marketing companies have the ability to take a product that's already successful and then improve on it, whether it's by adding a new twist to it or making it more effective.

The Secret To Creating A Network Marketing Lead
What's the secret in attracting a network marketing lead? Is there one way above all the other methods which can guarantee you a steady stream of prospects?
Sure is and do you know what it is? It's plain ol' marketing. That's right, marketing! The problem with most involved in this business is they forgot this aspect of their business.
Simply get your opportunity in front of as many people as you can and you'll find yourself swamped with interest.
Marketing To Win
When I first got going in the MLM business I was fortunate to join a group of network marketers who had a strong plan which worked like a charm. It consisted of flyers and advertisements backed up by a solid follow up system. Do you know what the best part is? I didn't have to harass anyone I knew.
This was in the days of off line marketing and I lived in a country where it was OK to deliver fliers. My flier was a four-page wealth building report and I recognized the concept of promoting my offer to as many people as I could pretty quickly.
I pounded the pavement week after week delivering my fliers and while it initially seemed a waste of time, the fact was within a short space of time I started getting calls about my offer.
The best part was these calls continued months after I had delivered my information and the only cost to me was the cents on the dollar I paid for the fliers and the exercise I got from distributing them.
Even better, not once did I have to contact a friend or family member to take a look at my offer because quite simply, I didn't need too!
Add Value To Your Offer
Attracting a network marketing lead with a value-added report and massive exposure was a cinch. Combining the principles of adding value and marketing was so powerful it cannot be understated.
That was effective 10 years ago. Today the internet has come into play and while promoting oneself off line is still effective, it's even more effective online simply because the ability to gain massive exposure for your offer is now worldwide rather than concentrating on a specific area of your neighborhood. There are no restrictions to where your network marketing lead can be attracted from.
Marketing correctly and constantly means you don't have to be the best network marketer on the planet to succeed. You just have to put your offer out there and combined with offering your network marketing lead something of value, watch the magic happen!

Guaranteed Free MLM Downline Signups!
Ya we've all heard that before! Wouldn't it be nice to have a system that pumps people into your downline for free? The old something for nothing caper, beware! There do exist cost efficient, proven online systems to funnel hungry, qualified leads straight to your inbox, which you can then put into your downline. Not only are these system proven effective but also save you massive amounts of time and money! They are also the exact same systems the big dogs prancing around on stage in their $5000 suits use.
So how exactly do these systems work, what's the minimal cost involved and why dothese systems beat all other traditional methods used in direct marketing hands down.
Guaranteed free mlm downline signups- you have to be cautious anytime you see the word free! Direct marketers have become quite savvy these days enticing you to sign up for a free e-book to capture your email, tel# and home address. Once you're in the system they put your info through an auto responder that drips emails into your inbox on a timeline of every 3 days or so being the norm.
The email drips are completely automated and offer you advice, free information but above all their products/services they want you to purchase. This pre-sells you and qualifies the seller as an individual with expertise, someone you're willing to invest in to hear what solution they have to your solve your problem with.
Now imagine for a moment having access to a similar system yourself. Hungry mlm'ers, frustrated that their dream downline didn't magically produce itself within 90 days are looking for a better way. No surprise since 98% of all mlm'ers fail. This is due to unrealistic and archaic marketing methods like plastering cars with flyers and spending all day on the phone cold calling (you got into business in the first place to work less not more I hope).
So they are your market, let's get that straight! Who better to market to than people who are already sold on mlm and ready to invest in an easier way to do business? I'm letting all my secrets out on this one, but its all good. MLM is great if done properly.
Now imagine these hungry mlm'ers downloading your report, which directs them straight to a sales page of an E-book for less than $100 that promises the end all to their worries. Regardless of weather the person buys or not you have already started to build your list or roster of mlm prospects you can now put in your auto responder drip.
But wait, it gets better than this! Imagine if they do decide to buy the E-book or product that means you get paid a commission for building your list of prospects to eventually introduce to your business and downline. So you are getting paid to harvest qualified guaranteed free mlm downline sign ups! Not right away perhaps, but somewhere down the road (within 3 months is the average time people stay with a single program before looking for greener pastures) they will come to you, and ask you how you are having success at putting between 5-15 people a month in your business each month.
Your only job is to advertise the system itself and let the web page do the selling. No more calling and pestering people to join! You collect cash for your time and effort to advertise the site when people decide to buy the E-book.
How can I set up a system like this you ask? It gets even better. You don't have to. Use someone else's system that is already in place and generating success for others. For less than 100$ you can get access to use a similar system by becoming an affiliate and be up and running in as little as a few hours.
If you haven't yet caught onto the benefits of using a lead generation system through the Internet yet, let me fully explain:
1) You'll never have to bug, pester or convince friends or family or anyone for that matter to join your business ever again.
2) You will harvest quality leads while you sleep, literally.
3) Some of these leads will PAY YOU to harvest them, instead of paying to buy leads (most of which are old and out of date or disconnected).
4) You make money regardless of weather people join you business or not.
5) Filter the serioso prospects from the bunch and build relationships with them (as an expert) who might one day follow you in whatever program you are building.
6) Offer a really great product that fills a huge need and helps mlm'ers including you.
