Network Marketing Activities That Make You Money
In Network Marketing as in any business, you need to know the activities that make you money and which ones are just unproductive, time wasters.
Activity Number 1: Understand what makes you money!
You only make money when you sell stuff! Sounds simple, I know, but so many people spend the majority of their time doing stuff that does not make them a dime! When you understand what makes you money, you need to spend the vast majority of time doing that activity. This means spending less time reading and following what the latest “guru” is teaching you about marketing.
I can’t even fathom the number of people in network marketing who waste their time on the Internet reading and researching stuff when they should be sticking to the following money making system to leverage the Internet:
Get an autoresponder like Aweber
Set up a landing page.
Drive visitors to your site.
Call the leads you generate, see if they qualify, give information, and set a time to follow up.
Follow up.
That is it! Pretty simple! If your landing page isn’t pulling the way you want it to, change it!
Activity Number 2: Document Your Time!
The next activity that produces the highest return is documenting where you spend your time. The Internet is the ultimate way to waste a whole bunch of time! People in network marketing spend hours upon hours just reading stuff and wasting time! STOP. Here is the ultimate way to gain control of your business and personal productivity: Every 15 minutes, track your time. You will quickly see how you are spending your time. More importantly, you will discover how you are wasting your time!
Activity Number 3: Simplify
Definition of Simplification: Cutting out all the crap that is not important!
I hate to play drill instructor, but people new to network marketing need to read this: 1) Call your cable company and cancel your service; 2) quit hanging around friend who brings you down; 3) start working out; 4) spend more time with your family, 5) and most importantly, spend time by yourself, improving your self!
Network Marketing is about as simple of a business as you can get. All you need to do is: generate leads, call them, and follow up! (Yes, this is overly simplified, but you get my point.) You don’t need to spend hours reading stuff online. You don’t need to read message board after message board about network marketing. You need to make this business simple, and to do that you must make your life simple!
What always amazes me is how many people say they want to live an amazing life, but then settle for their comfort zone. When you leverage simplification, it is easy to become absolutely clear on what you want in life and what you do not want! If you don’t watch television for two hours a day, you will fill your time doing something else. For example, if you are not wasting time watching TV, you might spend time working around the house or doing other activities that are productive.
Generating leads, calling them, and following up might be boring work. However, it is simple and can totally change your life! Stick to the time-tested, proven plan!
