Network Marketing Basics - Your Recipe for Success
Learning Network Marketing basics is
rather like learning to read a recipe. There's a cup, a teaspoon,
a pinch, a stir. Then the very best chefs add that something
special.
Start With Two Cups
of Passion
Make that two big cups. This is
the driving force behind your business, no matter what your business is.
Even if your passion is nothing more than to "make money", and you want
to make money very, very deeply, then that becomes your passion.
There is a story in one of the
"success" books about a family that wanted a house more than anything in
the world. This was not a rich family, so they knew they would
have to really focus on their goal. So they gave up new clothes.
They gave up movies. They gave up eating in restaurants.
They moved into a cheap trailer. All so they could save money for
their house.
The kids in this family went to poor
schools because they lived in a cheap neighborhood of trailer parks.
The family had constant fights due to living in such close proximity
with each other. But they wanted that house.
And they got it.
I'm not suggesting that you give up
everything you know as "life" to follow your passions. But I am
suggesting that you choose your passion wisely.
Whether we're talking about Network
Marketing basics, or setting the goals for your life, your passions
determine your path.
Add a Cup and a Half
of Research
Here's where you take that passion and
turn it upside down and inside out.
First research key words and key
concepts. Google and Word Tracker are popular services for doing
such research. Find out which keywords work, and which ones don't.
Make sure you've got enough keywords to create whole website.
"Niche" is a popular term in website
development these days. Basically it means finding a specific
topic that has lots of people looking for information, but not very many
sites already existing. It's a corner of the market that you can
claim as your own.
"A corner of the market" doesn't sound
like very much. But when you're talking about billions and
billions of dollars changing hands on the internet, a corner looks
pretty appetizing.
Then Two Tablespoons
....
One tablespoon for organization.
Set out your site blueprint, and make sure it all fits together.
And one tablespoon to confirm that
there are ways you can monetize this topic, whether through AdSense ads,
ebooks, products, services, affiliates, MLM association, eBay products,
Amazon books, or hundreds of other ways. Just make sure it is
there. If you can't make money, you don't have a business.
Add A Dash of
"Voice"
This is the most elusive of the Network
Marketing basics. Essentially it means that 100 people can write
about hats, but yours is different than all the others.
Your "voice" will ring through as you.
It is kind of like "writing with an attitude". Let your attitude
shine through.
And The Creative
Touch
Every site has something that makes it
unique. Perhaps the colors of the logo are unique. Perhaps
your personal experience is unique. Perhaps your exquisite use of
videos is unique.
Then Mix It All Up
and Bake Yourself A Site
This is the easy part. Building
pages is a breeze when the rest of the site is put together right.
And promote your site too. Use
existing article directories, newsletters, forums, and link exchanges to
create your presence on the internet.
The Frosting On Top
... is of course the actual
monetization. But the monetization just doesn't happen without all
the stuff that happens up front.
Settle in and study Network Marketing
basics a bit. You'll be very glad you did. The time you are
spending now will be paid back to you a hundred fold when you actually
build your site.
Bon appetit!
