With 100′s of marketing methods available both online and off, choosing the right one is a really difficult task for almost every Network Marketer.
Choices = Distraction.
Distraction = 0 Results.
I did this for years! I spent every minute I could learning new things but never put the old ones into practice.
The simple fact was, I never got good at anything so I struggled with everything.
Being a ‘Jack or Jane of All Trades and Master of None’ is not the path to take when it comes to your MLM marketing plan.
It’s like wanting to be an Olympic Decathlete and not knowing how to run!
Watch this video to see what I mean…
The biggest issue people have when it comes to success in the Network Marketing industry is not learning effective marketing strategies, it’s putting them into action! They want the fastest, cheapest results possible but aren’t willing to invest the time it takes to really learn a strategy before they give up and look for a new one.
When marketing an MLM Business, pick one strategy and stick with it!
Become the expert on that particular strategy. Get to the point where you could write a book on it and then when it is getting you the results you want, you won’t need to turn to others- unless you want to.
Sure, it’s still a difficult decision when it comes to choosing the ‘right one’ but if ask yourself these questions first you will have a better shot at coming up with the technique that will fit your business, your personality and your goals…
- What will fit in my budget?
- What do I have time for in my schedule?
- What will get the fastest results?
- What will attract the right prospects to me?
- What can I duplicate for my team members?
- What will be the most fun?
- What will be easy for me to teach to others?
- What skills do I already have that I can use?
- What do I have a passion for?
- Who do I know that can help me?
Not everyone can be champion Decathlete but with the right training, dedication and equipment, anyone can be an athlete and enjoy the sport or event they are competing in.
All you wannabe Marketing Decathletes remember:
- learn and practice the basics everyday
- invest in the right equipment
- find the one marketing ‘event’ that will be challenging but still a lot of fun
- learn all the skills you need to compete at the highest level in that ‘event’
When you do become an expert or a champion in your ‘event’ you will generate more fans, more endorsements and more money than you can imagine!

Excellent post, Erica.
You are so right. A marketer needs to concentrate on learning one or two methods until they are experts. Just like anything new you want to learn.

@ Eric – Every sports hero, knows that he or she couldn’t have gotten where they wanted to be without the right support and training. It is essential but most marketers think they can run right on the field and try to pole vault without even tying up their shoes! Learn the basics, get good at them and then work on finding a solid marketing strategy.
@ Tracey – I think many people feel that just because they’re new to something they can’t be experts. It really doesn’t take that long to learn the right skills and with the right training and dedication, to be an expert. It’s all about the mindset and the determination.
Thanks for reading guys! Cheers!
