The first mistake many newbies make and even some experienced marketers, is speaking about their primary business when social networking. We get all excited with our new venture and all we want to do is talk abot our business. If you do that people beg off because you have not branded yourself yet. Also the majority of  the  network marketing companies will not allow discussion about them outside of the corporate web site, and this also allows you to avoid any legalities that may arise.
 
Step two, actually use your product! Become its biggest supporter. Want to be natural when you tell your story as it is much easier if it is true. Fake it to make never works in the long run.  Folks respond more positively  to well spoken personal stories involving the product because you have an emotional tie in based on your experience with its use.

Consistency is another key. Building relationships online is time consuming. Online relationships and business is about people (hence social networking) not brick and mortar. You cannot sit back and hide behind your terminal, which brings me to my next point.

Massive ACTION must be taken daily! Many newbies are under the impression that they can work 3 to 4 hours a day from home to get started. Sorry doesn’t work that way. Focus, motivation, attention to detail, write lists daily, weekly, monthly. This is your business, not your teams or  downlines or whatever. There are so many distractions/variables to working fom home so understand what it is that you really want from the business.
I post mine on a sheet of paper right above my work area so I am reminded daily of why I chose to work from home.

Accountability and responsibility are yours! No one elses.  You could not succeed in a corporate career by starting off a few hours a day. Bust it until you have reached your goal and then celebrate life. Need help to stay on track, make sure that you are part of a strong team or coach or sponsor. You are really only as good as those you surround yourself with.

If you have not set any goals, what are you doing, where are you going, and how are you ever going to get there? Set them, achieve them, celebrate your successes and then set higher goals so on and so forth.  Be detailed, a goal is not wanting to make more money, the goal should be I want to make 10K a month period. Studies have shown time and again that  great leaders who set detailed goals reached them far more often than those that did not.

If your company has meetings, webinars, conferences or you belong to networking groups that do, attend as often as you can. Why? because the difference it makes by engaging with those that have been successful and understanding, that at one point, they were just where you are at today gives you so much more confidence in going forward. Opportunities of one on ones are so rare in the online business world that every one should be embraced as a rare knowledge building campaign.

Do you know who your competitors are, or even how well do you know your product? As I said before you must utilize your product so that you can speak to all of its benefits for your customers. When you are just starting you only need know it well enough to talk about it in generalities but beware that in order to brand yourself as that expert you need to be an expert at some point. This expertise helps you stand out and attracts people to your business or product. Also what types of products are your competition, as you will have questions and concerns from your clients that you will have to be able to address. Once you are comfortable in both it can only help to grow your business.

Each day you should set aside some time for self growth and improvement, training and visualization. What levels do you aspire to, guaranteed someone has been there done that, what can you learn from them? Time is money, right?, you can save valuable time daily by learning techniques from proven masters.
Do you wish to try and fail, try and fail, try and fail or listen to someone who has already had success? Grow yourself, improve yourself, get training when needed and visualize your success.

Probably the hardest to understand, and the most important is that you never quit. Quiters never win and winners never quit. How many times did Edison fail with the light bulb? People quit for many reasons but mainly because things start to look a little discouraging and nothing they try seems to be working and they lose focus and commitment. Now is when you nust think back to what your original motivation was and recommit yourself to your goals, dreams, and the other steps above. Seek guidance if you must but do not stop. 3% succeed, you can too and you won’t be sorry that you stayed the course.
