Internet network marketing — You’re the king

Internet network marketing — You’re the king

Chris Brogan, an Internet marketing expert, recently wrote a post called, “Content is Not King” that applies perfectly to Internet network marketing. “Content is king” has become something of a catch phrase in internet marketing. It urges bloggers to concentrate most on the content of their posts. If you want readers, the thinking goes, you must first give them something worthwhile to read. That logic has gone pretty much unchallenged among those “in the know” about how to be successful…

A runaway conversation that gets you nowhere

A runaway conversation that gets you nowhere

One evening last weekend, my daughter wanted me to go jogging along the beach with her. I had taken a long walk with my wife and son that morning, but I was still up for a nice relaxing run. Unfortunately, a storm came up before we started. So we decided to jog the next morning instead. Bright and early, we headed out on the sand. It was beautiful. We had barely got started when I told my daughter we should…

During the visit the school representative went out of his way to make them feel welcome. The prospective…

Learning the right lessons

Learning the right lessons

When I was in college, I used to get really anxious before a test. Sometimes just as the professor was handing out the exams, this terrible thought would pop into my head — “What if I studied the wrong material?” Fortunately, that never happened. And despite my anxiety, I usually did pretty well on tests. Unfortunately, many people in network marketing make the mistake I feared — they study the wrong thing. They get into network marketing with the plan…

MLM – it’s a relationship business

MLM – it’s a relationship business

In my MLM career, I’ve worked with some folks who I thought were great networkers. I’ve been trained by some who I considered to be the best in the business. I’d go to their seminars with this thought in mind, “Please just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it.” They’d tell me what to do. I’d do it. It didn’t work. They were great ideas. At least they sounded like great ideas. But they didn’t work. I’d listen…
