Fellow Networker,
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 YOU look 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 AGAINST you.

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

I decided to write this post because I see so many people making this mistake.
The potential marketing opportunity on Facebook is tremendous for many businesses, and quite possibly for yours!
It’s a Fact that over one billion people like and comment an average of 3.2 billion times every day on Facebook.
If you are into direct sales, network, affiliate or internet marketing there is no doubt that Facebook marketing can help you achieve your business goals IF you do it right.
The problem is 97% of you are doing it WRONG!!!
That’s because the average marketer has not received any social media training and have not developed a smart marketing strategy.
Here are two ways I see marketers building their business wrong using Facebook and how to make the wrong—>Right:
