Have you ever heard of the frog kissing principle story?
The frog kissing principle is something I heard a very long time ago and I thought I would share it for your personal use.
One ingenious networker applied the frog kissing principle to network marketing.
The Frog Kissing Principle Tale Goes Like This
•You’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs to meet a prince.
•That’s the job and you’ve got to kiss’em.
•You can’t mail them a kiss.
•You can’t stay in the office and wait for them to hop in and kiss you.
•You can’t let advertising change them into princes.
•You can’t ask your secretary to kiss them.
•You can’t kiss the same one 40 times.
•You can’t spend all of your time in kissin’ school.
•You’ve got to spend time with frogs and you’ll find them out there in the marshes.
Then … when you find one … you’ve got to make contact. Remember, kissing is a contact sport. That is, if you really want to meet a prince.
MORAL OF THE FROG KISSING PRINCIPLE STORY
In other words, in a high tech-high touch world, high touch wins every time. The rule in the sales world has always been that you have to expect a lot of no’s if you are expecting to get a yes. In other words, you have to kiss a lot of frogs if you are going to marry a prince.
Can you relate to the frog kissing principle story? Well if you are involved in network marketing you should be able to relate to this story. At some point to expand our business we must recruit or sponsor other frogs. We will face rejection but understanding how to persevere through it will help you reach your financial goals!
Final Thoughts
The most powerful tools today for building your business in spite of all this cutting edge technology are still word of mouth, the hug and the simple handshake. Don’t forget to focus on the fundamentals. Sure the Internet can be a very powerful medium for recruiting. But a remember network marketing is about relationships and the real friendships you make will last a lifetime in spite of where technology goes.

No matter what type of organization you run, email marketing can help you grow your audience and convert prospects into loyal customers – at a fraction of the cost of most other marketing channels.
You can build relationships and brand recognition. Promote events and sales. Plus, it’s easy to coordinate email content with social media. And with the right tools and support at your fingertips, you can achieve all of that – no design or coding experience needed.
Aweber email marketing tools like professional email signup forms & autoresponder services make it easy for you to build your email list and stay in touch with prospects. If you do not have an autoresponder you are working to hard.
Autoresponders automatically deliver a series of emails to immediately engage new opt-in subscribers.
How Much Does It Cost?
Aweber charges $19 per month for up to 500 subscribers, you do have the opportunity to trial it for a month for just $1 (and if you decide it isn’t for you within the first 30 days, Aweber will even refund your precious dollar!).
If you are new to internet marketing having an autoresponder service is a must.
I’ve been using their service for years and love it! It has saved me countless number of man hours.
If you are having problems building a large team (getting new reps to join you) and creating a residual income, then PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!
The problems you have experienced are simply a result of not using the power of positioning to help people see you as the solution to their problem. The reason you are not dominating your market is not because there is something wrong with you, or with your company, or with your products and services.
You are just not using the proper positioning strategy to get people coming to you, asking for help with your products and services.
You see, one of the first key things to understand is that network marketing is a people-based business. It starts and ends with relationships.
That is one thing that most networkers understand – but the application that is taught by most uplines is all wrong.
People are taught to try and get their friends and family to “do them a favor”. They are taught to be secretive and elusive, to try and get their prospects on 3-way calls with the upline experts. They are taught to hand out free product samples, host home meetings and parties, and throw flyers on every car they see.
The average distributor is taught to say as little as possible, and just try to get their list of “warm contacts” to the local meeting or the party where the real expert (the upline guru) will present about the company and opportunity.
And that’s a BIG problem.
Think about it – if you try to do that with your potential business partners, what does that make YOUlook like?
A leader?
Someone worth following?
Hardly.
That type of system positions you as a monkey – a gopher for someone else’s business. And remember – people don’t join businesses, they join OTHER PEOPLE.
And if you have positioned yourself as a tool for someone else’s business, then you now have positioning working AGAINSTyou.

Are you looking for a way to make money on facebook? Did you know that you can make money with your facebook photos? Are you an attractive woman posting your facebook photos for the world to see?
If you have a profile on Facebook and you are posting your photos on facebook you might want to pay close attention!
I see beautiful ladies posting their bathroom snapshots, casual and even professional modeling photos on Facebook all the time.
Most of these attractive (even non-attractive) women have even built a rather large male following (and even some females) by posting a wide variety of photos of themselves.
But What if You Knew Of A Way To Make Money Using Your Facebook Photos?
Let me ask you a question, do you receive a bunch of likes from friends and followers every time you post your photos on Facebook???I have personally witnessed some of my attractive female friends post a picture of themselves and receive up to 150 Facebook ”Likes” in a matter of minutes after posting their Facebook photos.
WOW!
This attractive female received over 35K likes and over 1k shares( even though she was sporting a Dallas cowboy jersey with Tony Romo’s number!)
Question #2: Do you have a rather large friends or followers list?
Just the other day I noticed one of my facebook female friends had accumulated a large number of facebook “Friends”. She has almost 5,000 friends! I know others that have a huge twitter following too!
Note: The limit on any Facebook personal page is 5k for “friends”. I believe after you reach the limit you can only have followers.
Look at the results these attractive ladies received after posting their photos on facebook
Well, ladies and gents as an online marketer I believe you are missing a golden opportunity here with your facebook photos. Unfortunately many attractive females and males do not take advantage of their huge social media following.
Don’t Be Stupid!
You have a tremendous opportunity to capitalize financially and create a lucrative income stream and you probably don’t even know it. So put your business hat on and start thinking money while I tell you…
How To Make Money With Your Photos On Facebook
What if you could cash in every time you posted your Facebook photos. Heck you are going to do it anyway so why not get something out of it financially?
Let’s create a formula and say one Facebook like=one dollar or (1FB like=$1). Remember when I said earlier that I had a friend post her Facebook photos and in minutes she had 150 hits or likes!! Using that example, posting a picture could potentially net her $150 in a few short minutes. Not bad right?
What if this happened to you 4 or 5 times a day? Now you are looking at ($600-$750) in a day of playing around on Facebook. Just think if you could deposit those earnings directly into your bank account daily! Would you be willing to change a little of what you do to explode your bank account and start generating a residual income now using your Facebook photos?
Well if you said YES, I can show you how to turn your Photos into Profit using Facebook and other social media outlets. Guess what there are already thousands of people utilizing the technique that I am about to reveal below.
OK, I am Interested So What Do You Have To Do?
STEP 1: You have to have a blog, but not just any blog. You need a blog that has authority and ranks high in the search engines.
STEP 2: Once you have your blog the next step is to start writing blog posts. Within your post you can insert the same pictures you would normally share on Facebook. Like I did in this post!
STEP 3: Publish your blog post with your photo or photos you want to share on facebook. Then share your blog post link on Facebook in a status update for all your friends or friends of friends to see. Now to see your photos they will have to click on the link which will take them to your blog (your website).
Why Send My Facebook Friends To My Blog?
Ah ha. In marketing we call this driving traffic to your business. Traffic =$$$$.
Instead of sharing your Facebook photos directly on Facebook so only Facebook cashes in on your traffic, now you will cash in! Why should Facebook profit off of your Facebook photos? I will teach you how turn your blog into a cash producing machine!!! You see once your visitors are on your blog, 4 out of every 10 visitors (40%) will click on your side advertisements. At least one (1) or two (2) will purchase one of your affiliate products.
It’s That Simple!
Hey, maybe you are selling a calendar like the banner ad below.
Or perhaps you are selling a book, posters, etc.. Maybe you are a network marketer and looking to sell your wellness products or telecommunication services, the point is once a person is in the store chances are they will not leave empty handed.
Imagine receiving 1000 Facebook friends checking out your photos then 10 of them buying a reoccurring product at a cost of $100 a month. That’s a residual income of $1000!
NOW MAKE THAT MONEY WITH YOUR FACEBOOK PHOTOS

Ever tried to throw a home party and have nobody show up?
Or spend a lot of time getting your product display all set up, laid out perfectly, and spend the money to get refreshments and appetizers laid out, only to have one or two people actually attend?
And they only buy a product because they feel sorry for you?
That’s just embarrassing! Not only is it disappointing for you, but it’s a huge waste of time and money.
The thing is, people lead busy lives these days, and they don’t have time to drive all over town to attend a party unless it’s the weekend. And most people are busy enough that they don’t want to spend their weekends in your living room getting pitched on your product and opportunity.
Again, this worked fantastically back in the “good old days”, during the 1960’s and 1970’s.
However, times have changed, and the “party plan” is really a “sorry plan” for consistently recruiting new clients and business builders into your organization.
Sure, big companies like Amway, Tupperware, Avon, Pampered Chef and Mary Kay teach this strategy and for years their representatives have used home parties to build large, lucrative companies.
But this is an old and outdated way of building a business. The fact is, these types of “warm market” tactics have been taught in the direct sales industry for over 50 years. The problem, is that they stopped working about 45 years ago! LOL! Don’t feel too bad. I have been there myself. From day one in my business, I wanted to be a “Heavy Hitter”, one of the guys that get to walk across the stage at the events. But when people consistently don’t show up to your Home Parties And Home Meetings not only will you feel rejected but you will begin to doubt your self and may even feel you have been SCAMMED, ultimately you will probably quit.
So much for making a lot of money and walking across that stage, huh?
Truth is…
You Don’t Have To Use Those “Used-Car Salesman” Techniques Your Company Has Shown You To Grow Your Business…
Learning how to MARKET is the key. You have to market to your target audience. Unless you know how to attract dozens of new distributors each week into your downline, you are going to have a very tough time building a huge organization and getting those big residual pay checks.
I’ve struggled in this industry for years. But when I began to do some research on the network marketing industry what I found shocked me. The Big Guru’s build relationships over time with other like minded people and use Lead Marketing Tools to attract people that are already looking for your business opportunity.
BOTTOMLINE:Unless You Know How To Market Like The Big Dogs Up On Stage, You Will Struggle To Add Just 2 Or 3 People Into Your Business Each Week!
Friends, if you are chasing your friends and family to recruit into your business opportunity, STOP!!!
I wanted to write this quick post to strongly discourage anyone from doing this practice.
Don’t Barrage Your Friends and Family!
The quickest way to lose all your friends and family members is to pitch your business opportunity and your products to them.
–>I’ve been there, done that, got the T-Shirt!
Plus, do you really want people you know to run the other way when they see you coming because they don’t want to buy what you’re selling?
Not to mention the fact that being rejected by those closest to you is one of the most damaging things you can do to your business mindset.
Many network marketers are taught to leverage their “warm market” for their business. This usually comes down to friends and family members. This is a huge waste of time, and it’s guaranteed to cost you positioning, and ultimately, money in the long run.
WHY?
First, most of them are going to be very skeptical. Many will refuse to do business with you simply because they will look at your attempt to sell them a business or a product as trying to leverage a personal relationship for financial gain.
Most people get insulted when they feel “used”, and most people feel used when they are sold by their friends and family.
INSTANT positioning killer!
Even if you have great intentions with a fantastic product, this technique will still cost you positioning. And even if a few people do sign up, most of them will not, and it sucks to be rejected by someone that you care about (a friend or family member).
It’s hard to stay motivated when the people you care about are consistently turning down your offer.
Don’t torture yourself – there are too many high-quality, motivated prospects that would love to do business with you.
Leave your friends and family alone, and sell your stuff to people that are already looking for it!
I want to let you in on a Secret. The highest income earners in network marketing don’t make a list of friends and family to show their business opportunity to. They build relationships over time with other like minded people and use Lead Marketing Tools to attract people that are already looking for your business opportunity.
The bottom line is… if you want to build a profitable home business that generates a huge passive income, it won’t come from making a list of people you know, unless everyone you know has run a business and been successful at it.
I hope this advice helps put you on the right path to financial freedom.
To Your Success
