I just recently joined a MLM and I'm afraid I'm doing everything wrong, because after a month of advertising and promoting, I haven't received one bite. I'm wondering if my marketing content needs work. I post to forums, I have my sites in all my signatures, everything is linked back to each other. I use social networks to promote. I even posted classifieds. What am I doing wrong? Or am I doing everything right and just not giving it enough time to permeate? Can anyone help? I'm getting real frustrated. I know it works, I know I can make money, I just don't know if I'm doing it right. Thanks.

MLM will definitely earn money for you, but it is not immediate. It will requires some time to see the results.

Are you building relationships? Especially with the use of social networks. People want to join you, not necessarily your business.

I have found it pretty frustrating personally. Especially finding places and people to get involved. I have been trying to use craigslist, but there are a bunch of jerks out there who flag my listings and just think that anything that you can do to work on the web is a scam. Don't they realize that we are just trying to make some money and make ends meet?
With so many people unemployed and so many people in debt, why not let a guy have a chance. pretty frustrating if you ask me.

Yes I am, I guess I'm just being impatient. Thanks!

I just started an MLM and looking forward to the results. I know it's going to take a lot of hard work and time, but I will succeed. It just takes patience.

Ok.
I'm gonna lay this out as accurately as possible.
Nobdody gives a rat's-behind about your fabulous MLM
opportunity.
All they care about is "what's in it for me?"
They come looking for a way to make money.
No problem there. Finding people who would like to have
some money is easy.
Where you are not doing it right is you are not PROVING
to your prospects that the clearest path to getting what
they want is by doing business with you.
###
Do people join people?
Yeah, sort of.
You can get some influence by making friends, building
relationships.
But also you need to look at your OFFER critically. This
is not easy to do since you've committed to something you
like - and now you are in the position of asking other
people to like it as much as you do.
Problem is... their criteria will not be the same as yours.
###
So the question is - how do you enroll people, right?
There are a few answers that work:
1. Prospect aggressively. Talk to many people and ask them
to buy from you. This is a simplified and crude explanation
of course - in a nutshell you need to have a thick hide
because people will reject your offer for a host of
reasons - most of them having little to do with you,
personally, but rejection is still tough on most folks.
2. Get proficient at marketing so people want to sign-up
under you so they can get your help.
3. There is no 3.

If there is one thing that I've learned and continue to learn it starts with mindset.
If you see yourself as a real leader other will too. If you don't, others won't.
Think about the state of your mind when your are marketing. Do you feel down or that you are going to give this a shot?
Chances are you may not be fully convinced on your potential b/c once you are the leads will start to pour in effortlessly.

All I can say is, Don't give up! If you truly believe in what you are doing and are happy with the system, stick with it! Keep heeding all the advice that you are getting here, and keep learning as much as you can. Also, try and take on a new "project" each week. In other words learn some new way to market (there are 1000's) and try a new one at least once a week. Even if you feel that you don't quite know what your doing, it is better to jump in and learn as you go. Most people learn better by just trying anyway.
I would also ask you where your sponsor is? Talk with your sponsor who got you into your business and find out exactly what they are doing and do all the same things. If your sponsor isn't helping you, then go higher and see who their sponsor is. Someone is at the top and they can share exactly how they got there. And if need be, remind them that in an MLM, if you don't succeed, neither do they!
But most of all, I repeat, Don't give up!

I noticed that you wrote you marketed online but have you tried sharing as an introduction. What area or field is your mlm in? it is a fact that people who do shopping are more likely to purchase something when they actually touch the item or see it up close. physically experiencing something brings a persons senses more in tune to what you are presenting them. Give a sample or trial for them to test drive. hope this helps.
