Just How Difficult Is Marketing Online?
I had a short conversation with an individual who was successful by most people’s standards when it came to being a leader in Marketing (MLM). He built a sizeable organization with little or no help from an upline but after about 3 years with the company found that people were leaving faster than they were joining. He said he had no problem ‘recruiting’ people, but he had issue with people not wanting to put in the time and effort with growing and succeeding in Marketing.
This is where today’s lesson begins…….
Contrary to what you may have been told, MLM is not about recruiting as many people as you can and building up a huge moment and hope that a few hundred stick around and pay the industry average $150.00 per month on an autoship.
Marketing is about Education and not only education but keeping abreast of the latest trends. If you are reading this article on my blog then you are current. You likely understand the importance of having a blog. You no longer want to send those who are interested in business to a generic company website.
What you want is for them to learn about you and what you have to offer should they choose to follow you in your present marketing company. The key element……YOU.
What are your skills? Have you taken any online courses on topics like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Blogging? All of these topics are vehicles that will help you build long lasting relationships and a healthy organization.
Now Rome wasn’t built in a day and learning this type of information could take months and there are always new techniques evolving and being taught. Well, if you noticed, 2 of my last 3 blog posts have been on ‘Tribes’. ‘Tribes’ are the latest craze on the internet and if you are still uncertain what I am speaking about then I want you to read the questions below and take inventory of where you currently find yourself….
What if you could become part of a community that shared the same passion for learning, for developing new skills, for growing, for helping others, etc?
What if for a small fee, in comparison to the weekend course that cost thousands of dollars, you could learn about the latest trends with some of the top leaders in Marketing today?
What if there was a way to get all of this in a well thought out and well structured package that included its very own NING community?
What if?
So I ask you this, would you be willing to pay for several weeks education? Have full access to the recorded webinars and become surrounded with other individuals that have similar goals and objectives?
Would you not want to work with leaders in other markets, companies, etc where you can learn from them and have access to them anytime you want?
I think it is easy to see the importance of education. So, if you are interested in taking your business to the next level, send me an email to info@whoisstevehachey.com or look me up on Skype at !stevehachey
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers – Steve

Hey Steve
Great post here! In order to build any business, it is important that the person building it invest in personal growth and education. I totally agree that tribes is the hottest things now. It’s time to jump in and feel the tribe vibe. Awesome post my friend.

This is very true Steve. People really need to know what it takes to be successful in Network Marketing. Not all the hype and fluff. An it definitely isn`t about recruiting. Yes, you have to get people to join you but in the end it is about becoming a leader and creating more leaders.
If you are not willing to do that, stay home.
Live Full Out & On Purpose,

Hi Steve,
I know exactly what you are talking about. I actually believe that your teams loyalty needs to be with people not just companies. This is why I love the tribes, People help people!
