the power to attract the right people into your life. Second thing is that it has
the incredible ability to enhance your creativity. When you are confident of
your abilities, it forces you to look into ways that you can do to achieve your
goals, even unconventional ones. Third thing is that it infuses positive energy
into you, which shows on the outside when people view you. When you truly
believe in your heart and mind that you can do it, nothing and no one can
discourage you.
The exact opposite is also true. If you do not believe in yourself and
lack that confidence, you will destroy your self-esteem. When you lack self-
esteem, you do not have the confidence to talk to people, let alone sell a
product. Have you ever met anyone in sales that lacked confidence? They

characteristics:
want to be rich.” A goal like that will just make you bored in attaining it
because of its ambiguity. You have to clearly define what being rich is to you
and what it means. If you start to earn 10,000 a month, does that mean you
are rich? If you have a million dollars in your bank account, does that make
you rich?
Therefore, when you plan to build your MLM business, determine how
many people you need to recruit in order to get the profits that you want. If
you think that recruiting three people in a week will result to a thousand
goal you want to attain. For example, instead of saying, “I want to buy a
house.” you say, “I want to buy a two-story apartment that is situated in the
heart of the city.” Instead of saying, “I want to travel abroad.” you say, “I
want to travel to Paris and visit the Eiffel Tower.” A goal statement with that
kind of detail paints a picture that gives you focus and purpose.

the time in the world to achieve it. When you say, “I want to purchase a
three-bedroom house in three years”, you will start planning so you can
You need to apply these concepts to the goals you set for yourself in
your MLM business. When you state that your goal is to build a viable MLM
network within five years, you will be motivated to start moving. You will
have that clear vision and sense of urgency to achieve that specific goal you
set.
Attainable, yet beyond your comfort zone - Stating, “In ten years, I
have saved $10,000.” might be too easy a goal to achieve. Rather, state a goal
that although within reach, will require a lot of effort for you to accomplish.
A goal that is too impossible does not motivate you either; it will do the
opposite and discourage you. It is better to accomplish the goal that you have
set earlier and when you achieve it, strive for a higher goal.
For instance, if you have projected that you will be able to recruit two
people in a month and you are the kind of person who easily makes contacts,
then this is a lazy goal for you. However, if you aim for 40 people per month,
then you are going to wear yourself out. Make a goal like two people per
week so you can stretch your boundaries yet are able to achieve it with a little
hard work.
It is measurable. If a goal like this has variables that you can easily
something that becomes tangible and something that you can define.
It inspires you to action. A concrete goal will motivate you and make
you want to go out and achieve it. Abstract goals remain just that—abstract.
After you set your clear goals that you want to achieve, start to set your
mind. You now have to condition your mind for this success. Here are some
Visualize your goals. After you write down your goals, set aside at
least five to ten minutes thinking about them. If you stated in your goal that
condominium with all the amenities. If you have planned your goals with
someone, spend time talking about it so you have some accountability. Like,
for example, if you and your wife planned to go to Spain, then talk about the
places that you want to visit and the kinds of food that you plan to eat.
When you visualize what you want to achieve in life, you are preparing
your mind to find ways in achieving these plans. You want to be able to see,
hear, and feel as if the goal is already achieved. You will be able to build up

First, learn the profile of people who have the most potential to
succeed in an MLM business. Then make a list of every single person that
you know since you were a child. If you saw them at a party and they’ll
recognize you put them on that list. From the list, you can start to assess what
type of potential they might have in the business. After that, prioritize those
whom you think have the most potential based on their interest and skill set.

People who need your product - One of the reasons why some MLM
members are hard up in recruiting people is because they have a mindset that
often happens with young people in the industry getting grandma, grandpa,
and their parents to buy the product. This kind of attitude turns off a lot of
people and gives the entire industry a bad name. What you need to show to
your prospective customers and members is that they should be happy that
they got the opportunity to learn about the benefits of your great product.
You must present to these people why they need the products and how

members of your business then determine what motivator you can use to
persuade that potential member. For example, you have a friend who is a
single mom who is working hard as a waitress finding it hard to make ends

freedom. Another example would be if you have a close friend that is very
sensitive about their appearance and is hard up of losing weight. You can

parents of your students. If you are a salesclerk, you can start with your
colleagues, and even some of your regular customers. We meet new people
every day in our lives so there’s always people you can talk to about your
business.
However, some people find it hard to talk with the ones that are close
to them, like close friends and relatives. This is very common in the industry
because they don’t want the people closest to them see them fail. If you fall

Avoid Spams
People get annoyed by those who turn every post into spam about their
product or business. When you see a post about someone who lost his job,
don’t publicly announce that you have an opportunity for him. Rather,
communicate to him in private and explain your offer. Also, you must learn
when to stop pushing. Make clarifications and address the other person’s
concerns. But in the end, you should respect his final decision.
You must choose wisely the social networking sites that you would

your products and company. Avoid selling your products to those who are not
interested.
Make Sure That Your Profile Photo Looks Professional.
When you create a social media page, your photo must reflect

your business posts on your business page and keep your personal posts on
A lot of networkers set up a business page and then forget about it.
You should post at least once a week to update your clients on new products
and seasonal promos. This would also ensure that discussions about your
business continue and further encourage others to try your products or join
your business.
People will more likely buy your product or join your business if they
are armed with information. So you must post news stories that educate and
inform. For example, if you’re selling organic natural products, you should
share stories about the harm done by chemicals to the environment. Or you
could share an article on the benefits of consuming naturally-grown food.
There are surely a lot of written articles related to your product or multi-level
It is important that you share stories about how your life has changed
through your business. You can talk about how the financial rewards enabled
you to send your daughter to college or to enjoy a vacation. You could also
share the joy you feel building friendships with your co-distributors or
clients. You should not hesitate to share your success stories, but you should
be wary that you don’t come off as boastful. You can also take this as an
opportunity to thank your recruits and customers for helping you achieve
your goals. You will inspire others to follow in your footsteps.

message stand out is to use # (hashtags). This will make your tweets more
visible to people that might be searching for something related to your tweets.
There are certain times in the week and certain times in a day that have
been proven to be more effective to send out tweets. During the day you can
get more clicks, favorites, and retweets if you tweet in the early morning
between 11:00 p.m. – 5:00 a.m. It sounds counterintuitive that would be the
best time, but it’s probably because there’s not as many other tweets

list of different Twitter programs that enable you to schedule the majority of

It’s proven that tweets with images have higher engagement than just

able to recruit a certain number of down lines. Some MLM companies have
continuous flow of leads, the system will go down and will not be able to

MLM people usually run into the challenge of exhausting their list of
products and system are being implemented. Thus, your prospecting activity
becomes more and more challenging. It seems like there is nowhere else to
The good thing is, there is the Internet. More importantly, social
networking sites are becoming really popular nowadays. In fact, there are
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter are some of the most popular social
networking sites around. It is a gold mine for network marketers. These sites
have billions of members who regularly visit their pages. On the average,
people spend three to four hours on social media sites. What’s more,
interacting with these people is so easy. You can even reach out and
quite cheap. In fact, most of social media sites’ features are free to use for
business.
The Internet and these social networking sites are great tools to
landscape. However, you need to understand some of the basic concepts that
would allow you to use these online tools to its maximum potential. Having a
clear strategy in using social media sites for your marketing activities would
save you a lot of time, effort and even money. Below are the essentials in
network marketing.
The Product

products. This type of business is strictly illegal and would put their

from using it. It is true that network marketers earn huge income from
recruiting new members. However, the main business is still selling products.
Before you put any promotional materials on social media, you must
There are two types of products. The first is tangible product. These
care products like soap, lotion, whitening creams, among others. The other
type of product is intangible products. These are service-oriented products
Letting your audience and prospects know what your product is all
about is important. When your prospects know what they are getting from
you, you can easily establish trust. People are easily persuaded when they
know they’re in control. Thus, let them know what you are offering them.
Benefits
When you successfully tell your audience about your business and the
products you are selling, you already made it to the first base. You are doing
great. People are now at ease and confident with your offer. They are now in
control because they understand what you are offering them and what they
You must understand that people do not buy the product itself. What
they buy is the benefits that they will gain when they purchase your product.
Always put yourself in the shoes of your customers. If you understand how
your products would help your potential customers, you can easily convey
Remember, it is the benefits that make people buy stuff. When they
realize that a certain product would help them improve their life or solve their
immediate problems, they will easily buy. Thus, you need to identify the
strong points of your products. Make a list of all the benefits and its
your products. Gather all these important pieces of information and let your

of income does not depend solely on retailing your products. A major portion
of your income comes from the commission you earn by recruiting new
members. Thus, you must also communicate the benefits and advantages of
of joining MLM companies. In this day and age of fierce competition, it will

anymore. You must craft a unique message that will touch your audience’s
heart. You must deliver a message that will get their attention, which is called
a unique selling proposition (USP). To find out your USP, you need to go to
your basic manual and find out what makes you different among other MLM
companies.
Target Market
Not all prospects are created equal. To succeed in your social media
campaign, you have to understand that some prospects are not receptive to
your offers and membership invitation. Not everyone wants to purchase your
product. Not everyone wants to get rich by doing network marketing. Hence,
you need to concentrate your effort and resources in finding the “right
They believe that the more prospects they approach, the better the chance of
getting new recruits. While that strategy works, it is a huge waste of time and
effort. To maximize your lead generating activities, you must identify first
most with your products and your MLM system. This is the segment of the
market that will react positively on your product offers and invitation.
Remember, when people believe that they would greatly benefit from certain
offers, convincing them is a breeze. When you effectively divide the market
in its most ideal chunk, your lead generating and recruitment initiatives will

If you want to establish trust, the first thing that you need to show is a
multilevel marketing business. You can provide them with a series of videos,
a PDF report or a slide show. Refrain from the allure of pressuring your
audience and using obnoxious sales tactics. Instead, focus on guiding your
prospect. Let them understand what they will be getting when they join your
business. Give out free stuff without asking anything. Offer your service by
