The purpose of today’s blog, which I call,  ”Just-Do-It,” is to share the information that I believe has helped me succeed and I am sure it will help you also.

I find it amazing how few people build a successful business.

When you really think about it, what is the real difference between the people who have success and those who don’t? 

While I was growing up, I noticed that people who owned a business usually made a lot more money than the people who worked for someone else’s business.

There are three  basic problems:  people don’t have the money to start a business, don’t have any idea what product or service to market, and they don’t know how to run a business. When I was first introduced to network marketing, I thought to myself — this is the answer, finally, a business that people can start on a very limited budget with no special skill set, background, or experience, they have a product to market, and all of the training and corporate support to succeed.

I figured that everyone I talked to about starting their own business would be interested just like I was.  Boy was I wrong!  In fact, it took me months to earn my first commission check and almost a year to even earn a profit.  I spent alot of time trying to learn everything I could about the network marketing industry and I found that there are certain traits that almost every successful marketer possessed.

As soon as I started following these traits, my business exploded and I attracted people into my business.  One of the first things that really changed the way I looked at business and what was possible, was when I heard a speech by Art Williams. This is one of the most powerful speeches I have ever heard about what is possible if we make up our mind and Just Do It.

This is one of the speeches that helped me keep going when I felt like quitting.  The two things I found from this video:  1. Don’t quit; and 2. Be a leader.  As soon as I decided I was not going to quit and I was going to lead my team, things started happening.

If you’re serious about building your network marketing business, you need to learn How To Recruit Large Numbers Into Your Business.  The first thing you need to understand if you truly want to explode your business is: “Why do you want to recruit people into your business?” To be totally frank, because you CAN! Yes, I know it’s hard to believe, but a company is actually giving you the opportunity to recruit people and get paid on their efforts. This is a privilege you don’t have in many places. Let me explain:

Imagine at a job, your boss said to you that he was looking for new talent to grow the company. He also said there was an UNLIMITED amount of positions available and they would be trained if they didn’t have experience. Here’s where it gets interesting: the boss tells you that he wants YOU to find these people, and for everyone that you find, you’ll get paid a “bonus” in your paycheck EVERY SINGLE TIME they get their paycheck FOR LIFE! On top of that, you can find AS MANY as you want. And, if you do a really good job, on top of the BONUSES, the company will send you on trips and recognize you with awards at company functions. On top of that, anyone you bring on-board will be given the same opportunity to bring others, who in turn will be given the same opportunity to bring others, and so forth and so on… And you’ll get a “bonus” whenever those people get a paycheck even though you had nothing to do with them coming on-board!

Does this sound like your job? Do you think your boss will be giving you a call to offer something like this to you? I don’t think so!

You probably get bombarded with so many network marketing opportunities, it’s easy to take for granted the opportunity you have in this industry to build your own business. And, in order to really appreciate the opportunity you really have to fight the urge to take this privilege for granted.

With that said, here are 3 things you need to recruit large numbers into your business:

1. Posture – You want to recruit people? DON’T BEG! Your job is to enthusiastically share your company’s opportunity and vision, that’s it! They either get it or they don’t. You saw the opportunity, didn’t you? And other people will see it too. If someone’s not interested in what you’re offering, don’t worry about it, there’s hundreds of thousands of other people that will.

2. Accept The Law Of Averages - Just accept that not everyone is going to join your business. And you don’t NEED everyone to join for you to be successful. In baseball, if you failed 70% of the time when you came up to bat, you’d have a .300 batting average which is above-average, and you’d still make MILLIONS! Well, if baseball players can accept failing 70% of the time in order to succeed, why can’t you? You’re not going to recruit everybody and you don’t NEED to in order to be successful!

3.To be long-term successful, you MUST take massive action.  The Internet and a Marketing System  can do that for your business by automating many of your day-to-day functions and offering total training on using the internet to build your business. Things like communication skills, search engine keyword usage and social networking skills of working with people, so that you get better and better and your people can plug into exactly the same system, making it far easier for you to help them.

Here’s a great article written by Paul Melendez entitled:  Five Essential Things You Need To Succeed In Internet Marketing!

The thought of being simple passengers on a ghost ship meant to sail at random to just anywhere does not appeal to ambitious people who like to take charge of their own destiny and keep their future and fate in their own hands.

Ambitious folks have a drive to maneuver their own ships with purpose and intent; they want to be the ones to take their ship anyplace they want. Being aboard a ship on its way to a particularly great destination (like massive online success) is something each and every one of them dreams about, and the knowledge that they have the mental ability and attitude to steer it themselves is what makes them actually want to do it.

Possibly this is the reason why more and more people are succumbing to one of the most popular businesses in the world: Internet Marketing!

There’s plenty of opportunity! You only needs to be fitted out with the tools needed to succeed in a business such as this, and you are likely to get what your heart finally desires.

Just what are the things needed to be able to win in internet marketing?

There are five things one must ultimately have if you want to achieve the success you are longing for in this business, and these five things are a must for you to possess in order to be able to stand out among the rest …and, most importantly…  have a thriving and profitable online business.

1) Mentoring: It means a willingness to study and be trained. Stepping through unfamiliar territory is chilling stuff if you are not properly equipped, and you might get lost amidst a jungle of the unknown.

Learning the tricks of the trade is also a crucial aspect of the game, and your willingness to know it all will give you far greater advantages in this business than you could ever imagine.

2) Commit time and effort: No matter if direct results do not seem at all apparent. While several months may pass by without good news, it is crucial for a newbie – who has just stepped into the industry – to hang in and wait for success.

Keep in mind that you have to be doing all the right stuff – but, it’s not rocket science. It is this quality which would save you from giving up after spending a lot of yourself in the business.

3) Self-determination: If you wish to conquer the internet marketing world, you must have the power to push yourself ahead. Never having to say ‘I give up’ is a quality each and every internet marketer must have, and the ability to motivate yourself into climbing even greater heights is an ability which would actually take an internet marketer there.

4) Discipline: If you know how to teach yourself to work everyday with all the energy you can muster up, then you are close to reaching what you have set your heart to having in the first place.

5) Optimism: Bad attitudes and hearsay of others should not prevent an internet marketer from going after what you have to in order to make life better for yourself and for everyone involved.

Neither should anyone influence your attitude toward the business, because once in it, it is a must for you to be the captain of your ship and the master of your heart and purpose.

The criteria to success in a business such as internet marketing are diverse and abundant, but the most crucial thing you need to have in order to be able to make it big, lies in yourself alone. It is your desire which fuels your heart; that is the gas which should keep the engine going.

Internet marketing is all about putting your destiny into your own hands. Having the correct attitude is central to being able to direct your ship into that part of the ocean you desire.

To be long-term successful, you MUST have a marketing system for your business that automates many of your day-to-day functions and offers total training on using the internet to build your business. Things like keyword usage and  social networking skills of working with people, so that you get better and better and your people can plug into exactly the same system, making it far easier for you to help them.

Here is great information on how to recruit more people using a blog. The article was written by Daegan Smith. Here is what he has to say.

One of the biggest mistakes I see people making in their blogging efforts is “why” they use them. Most people tend to think of blogging as a primary traffic generation strategy, and it can be, but it’s not THE best use of a blog in our type of business.

You should think of blog traffic more like icing on the cake. The primary and MOST powerful use of starting and using a blog in your business is it’s ability to create a powerful testimonial for you. Let me explain.

I’ve always found this to be a MUCH better option than cold calling leads. I let them get to know me first.

In other words, a prospect who goes to your blog, because of the content and reads about you, is going to take what they read there at face value, where if you’re on the phone telling them the same thing, they’re most likely to say, “Yeah right.”

If you’ve ever called leads, and had that question come up of, “Well why should I join you?” Having visited your blog first will virtually eliminate this objection and ignite powerful curiosity and intrigue about you and what you do.

Because I had content on the blog, I had tons of people finding it for free, and as a result, calls out of the blue from people saying, “Yeah I found your blog, what’s up with your business?” (kinda cool).

So let me share a few things you can do to improve you search engine rankings for your blog posts to enhance your free traffic.

First, do a little keyword research using the Google Keyword tool. Find a few keywords related to business and use those keywords in your blog title, and a few times, along with a few synonyms for that main keyword in your blog post.

One secret strategy that really increases blog traffic is using images.

On blog posts where an image corresponds to the blog post, keywords  tend to get about double the traffic. So find a few images related to your blog post keyword.

Name those images as your main keyword, for instance if a blog post was based on the keyword “internet network marketing,” then  find three images to use for that keyword and  name the images internet-network-marketing1.jpg, internet-network-marketing2.jpg, internet-network-marketing3.jpg etc.

Search engines rank you based on how many other websites link to your post related to your keywords, so when you create a new blog post, write an article with the same keyword and submit it to the major article directories with a link going back to your main blog post.

Find a few other blogs in the niche and comment on a few posts and link back to your blog post.

Create a facebook, twitter, myspace, squidoo account and post some content based on the keyword and link those back to your blog post.

You do that for your blog and you’re ahead of 99% of marketers.

So now that we’ve got traffic down, let’s talk about $$$, how do you make money with your blog? I think the simplest way to make money with a blog from the outset is to simply add Google Adsense to each blog post, not so much because you’ll make a ton of cash from it, but when people do click on your Google Adsense ads on your blog you’ll make a few bucks which is powerful positive reinforcement for your efforts in the early going.

It will fuel you forward. You’ll see money coming in and you’ll get excited.

The best long-term way to make money with your blog though is…

Integrating your blog with your email marketing efforts. I love using the one-two punch of email marketing and blogging because it allows you to change the dynamic of your email messages to your prospects from a one-way conversation to a two-way conversation by giving your prospects the ability to comment back to you.

Getting people involved and commenting on your blog is a powerful way to build trust. Think of your blog as a conversation and you’ll see the bond between you and your prospects growing stronger daily and for it your income will increase.

There are two powerful benefits of turning your emails into a blog conversation.

The first is simply when people get involved and proactively comment they’ve taken a powerful step into your world. The second benefit is a little more sneaky, but extremely powerful.

Say you send a prospect to your blog to share an important post today and 15 people comment on that post. Great!

Well, what if you take the email that you sent people to your blog and add it to your auto responder?

Now the leads that join your list three months from now will get that email automatically via your autoresponder email sequence you set up and when they get to the post not only are they going to get to participate in a conversation you set up on autopilot, but they’ll also see all the people that previously commented and say…

“Wow! I just got this email and 15 people already commented, there must be a lot of people listening in,” and hence, they will conclude you’re a good teacher and someone a LOT of people listen to.

To be long-term successful, you MUST have a marketing system for your business that automates many of your day-to-day functions and offers total training on using the internet to build your business. Things like keyword usage for your blog and social networking skills of working with people, so that you get better and better and your people can plug into exactly the same system, making it far easier for you to help them.

Here’s an article written by Jose Siandre entitled: Is Your Prospect Really Just A Quitter?  It may help you be a better recruiter.

On the surface this may seem like a very simple question that could be answered by a few of the obvious reasons…

They quit.
They didn’t plug in.
They didn’t participate.

What you want to ask yourself, or maybe even know about yourself, is WHY…

WHY didn’t they follow through, while others do?

When I finally learned the answer to this question, it was quite sobering…

Not only did the reason behind their results come into the open, but the reason for my recent spat of success became apparent as well.

So what’s the answer?

Why do most people fail when a select few succeed?

Those who do succeed have a core desire to do so.

Those who don’t, share that same core level of desire will not.

“Desire… Just look for people with desire and you’ll do great… Yada Yada Yada… Everyone I talk to has the desire to make more money. It hasn’t made any difference so far.”

The difference is in their level of desire.

The only time anything ever gets done in your life – When you follow it through to completion with a sense of urgency, is when you desire to accomplish that task at Core Level of 100 on a scale of 100.

You must accomplish it. It’s a part of you. It consumes you.

It dominates your thoughts above and beyond anything else each day and all day.

These are core desires, and the people who achieve notable success in network marketing, have that accomplishment as a core desire.

They are the ones you see on stage and hear on the training calls.

That’s it.

That’s the secret.

If attaining your goal, whether it be to pay off your credit cards, buy a house, save for retirement, or fire your boss, is not a core desire, and not attached to your networking business, you will not succeed. Period.

The sad truth, is that most people in this industry did not buy a business, they bought hope.

And hope is never backed by true desire.

Hope is for the undecided.

So that’s why people you sponsor quit.

Don’t get frustrated. 80% of people who join you will never sponsor more than 1 rep or customer. Most people simple don’t have the desire at a level of 100 to accomplish their goals through their new business. They just bought hope in order to quiet that little voice inside them that keeps nagging them to make a change.

Once they buy the business, and they don’t make $1,000 in 5 days, they can then justify their fear of change with the “logic” that it just “didn’t work,” and that they knew it was a scam to begin with… 

So sad, yet so true. People are funny aren’t they?

So my question to you is..

What is your desire level to achieve your goal through network marketing?

What do you do each day to build your business? How many books on the industry do you own? How many conference calls are you on each week? How many people do you talk to about your business/product each day?

What would you be willing to give and sacrifice to succeed?

I hope the answer to that questions is “whatever it takes,” because I can promise you the end result is worth the sacrifice.

So how can you tell if your prospect is going to succeed or fail from the very first phone call?

Ask them this question: “So which books are you currently reading on self-development and marketing?”

Anyone who is TRULY serious about being a successful entrepreneur will be able to name at least one book they are reading right now.

My suggestion is that you change your mindset today and get involved. Take responsibility for your personal success and set aside the excuses that have kept you in that JOB for so many years.

Start increasing your value to the world by increasing your knowledge and abilities.

Only then will the world be willing to pay you back with freedom and wealth.

To be long-term successful, you MUST have a marketing system for your business that automates many of your day-to-day functions and offers total training on using the internet to build your business. Things like keyword usage and  social networking skills of working with people, so that you get better and better and your people can plug into exactly the same system, making it far easier for you to help them.
