Location, Location, Location!
Or
Promote, Promote, Promote!



We have heard always that the 3 most important things
in Real Estate is location, location and location. That is
very true and no one can dispute it. Just like in real estate,
the 3 most important things in Network Marketing:
Promote, promote, promote! No one can dispute that
either!

So you've found the perfect opportunity (more about this
next time), with the best comp plan and you vow to be the
best sponsor. Now you just wait for the phone to ring,
right? Of course not, you know and I know that people
have to know about YOU! After all this is a business. I
heard a commercial on the radio the other day and it was
about realtors. Them being small business owners in your
community. It is funny that they have to advertise a realtor
as a business owner, but that is what they are. If they don't
sell a house, they don't get paid.

It is easy to forget when most of us are used to punching a
clock and collecting a paycheck, what it means to be in
business for yourself. No matter what business you are
in you MUST PROMOTE yourself and your business.

This is where most Network Marketers fail. They do not
know how to promote and they do not have any money to
promote with. A typical scenario would go like this: 'Jim'
signs up and scrapes together the money for the kit and
materials he needs to get started. The first problem he runs
into is he doesn't have any money left to use to promote
his business.

The KEY TO SUCCESS in this business is promoting the
opportunity you are involved with. It is a very simple
process. You get yourself in front of as many people as
you can. The internet makes this very easy since the
internet has over 1 billion people online. Here is what
nobody talks about: IT WILL COST YOU MONEY
TO ADVERTISE.

Your first task even before you choose an opportunity, is
to figure out how much you are able to spend each month
on promoting your business. That figure is very important
and you need to stick to it. When you start your business
let your sponsor know what your financial status is. It will
help both of you.

I like to do this with my team, this is so I know where
everyone stands. Everybody will work at their own pace.
Some will have $300 to spend and some will have $50.
If you don't have a lot of money then you will need to
spend time, ie. Traffic exchanges, forum marketing, and
safelists. Those are only a few. Bottom line is your time
is just as valuable(maybe more) than money!

Time is money, make your time count. My business uses several
things from a very successful ad-coop, that allows our team to
pool resources and reach more people, therefore we all share
in the success without risking a lot of money. I am also
developing a program with an ebook that can be sold to generate
money on the front end. It's all about teamwork!

Next: So many choices- I think I am going crazy!
