1. Do on to others, as you would have them do onto you!
2. Find a product, service, or benefit that you really-really like, and find value in for yourself.
3. Be honest - Nothing is perfect! If you have to lie about - Let it go! Tell the truth and you will be surprised on how people will follow you!

Great topic I have to agree with the point that you have to want to help other people. This is key especially for anyone in the network marketing industry. Many of us (myself included) have forgot who the most important thing in this business, no it is not the company you are with or even the product you are sharing with your friends, family and prospects.
Network marketing is about building 'business partnerships' or 'relationship' with you prospects. If done right your prospects will tell you have to close them, they will give you all of the answers you just have to listen.
thanks
Michelle

Don't forget to use Google to search on any opportunity you are considering. One or two bad reviews is to be expected with any established online marketing company, but if there are tons of them--beware!
An online community or blog specifically for that opportunity is a good thing to have--you can learn a lot from the old pros and from other people's questions.
Any good online marketing company should be able to provide you with some effective tools for finding and generating sales. If not, look further because there are a lot of them.
Just a few thoughts.
Jeremy

I totally agree - we can make excuses and we can make money but we can't make both..

What a great motivational flow of posts! After a number of years in network marketing I have finally found the key... and it is a combination of all that's been said here. You have to LOVE your product...passion is crucial. You have to be involved with a financially solvent and ethical company. You have a have a supportive team and the availability of great training. And you have to have determination and a mind-set that realizes that "get-rich-quick" is not reality.
Keep looking until you find a situation that is right for you. Do your research. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Talk to real people. Once you find it, make a commitment and work hard. If you did your research well, the results will come. It has finally happened for me and I know it's not just one thing, but the synergy between all of them that is the key!

I sell clickbank products but in the last year I have moved in to CPA (cost per action) as well, if you find the right product the returns are far higher. I will share my stats with you for Saturday 5th April (and weekend is much quieter that weekdays).
Total revenue from cpa & adsense : $532.61
Total ppc ad costs (Google, Yahoo & MSN) : $63.38
Total profit: $469.23
therefore ad costs were just 11.9% of turnover!
With CPA there are no refunds as you are simply selling leads to another party - whether they manage to sell a product to the lead later on doesn't matter to you as your money for generating the lead is safe!

annadenise: as well and look for something that has been in business over 5 years
Wise to be aware of possible failures in the making, but do not let this cloud your judgement.
Poor and strong companies start all the time. All of the big names in NM today actually started as a "Newbie" and think of what you would be saying to yourself if you passed up the opportunity to join them in the beginning.
I was tainted with bad experiences with MLM in the past, and the frustrations of mis-guided training and motivation. Though I stepped out of the arena for a while I found something new that interested me. With the knowledge of what NOT to do from my previous experiences and after a heap of research on the way they did business - their products etc. I jumped in and I am not regretting it.
If you can be passionate about the opportunity and company, grab ahold of it and run with it as much as you can every day. Your motivation and tenacity will make you a success in it.
(Love this thread)
Regards
Paul

I look to a program that gives you advice and guides you through the early process of internet marketing. It can all get overwhelming when you first start out but if you can find the right forum and a good successful guide to get you on your way then i think thats the program to stick to.

Exactly, if you are determined to make ANYTHING work in business, and you are willing to educate yourself, apply solid principles to achieving your goals, and take consistent action while building relationships, you can achieve beyond what your mind had originally set forth in achieving.

As someone said earlier. If you believe in what you sell, it makes it easier.
Also what I find most important is that it's not the opportunity that will make you the money if you are new to the industry. It is your mentor who can provide you with the necessary information and knowledge to succeed with your online efforts that will generate you that income you truly desire.

I agree with most this. It is important to find a group or team or people that are willing to help you from start to finish. There is just one important factor. It starts with you. You have got to have the desire to want to do it. Make up your mind find something an see it through to the end result. If you quit with in that first month then can you really say you tried.

dmitch31: If I didn't have people online helping me and was left to figure it all out by myself, I'd never make it. I just wouldn't have the patience for it. I'm so thankful for the communities that we have available online.
One of the big things to consider when getting involved with a company, and what kind of training and support they offer. If you are just left to figure things out by yourself, that company is setting you up for failure. I have been through many that have done that to me, and no matter how excited I was at the beginning, I eventually got frustrated and sort of faded away. There are companies out there that offer INCREDIBLE training for FREE because they truly want you to succeed, not just get your sign up fee and watch you fade away.

It's not the company that makes you your money, it's your mentor. A lot of people just dive into a program without realizing who there sponsor is and if there sponsor is even around to help them in getting started.
A majority of sponsors in todays world simply are just there to market and take ones money then disappear on them and leave them stranded.
Without the right mentor who has the necessary knowledge and information to succeed with your business, you will fail.

jvco: I believe NO ONE can succeed alone. You need a good team working together. For the average person to make a consistant decent paycheck each month they must see results within the first month or they start losing interest. Find a good team that is willing to share ideas with you without asking for anything in return. That will be the hardest part to the whole equation. Tadej was right.. You have to be believe in what your selling and be able to transfer that enthusiasm to other people. Never beg anyone. If they don't want what you have, you move on to the next.
However, you can work alone and succeed if your goal is different. Say you only make a goal of only 30 people. You show them the truth and walk them down the way how things work and how you work it. There, the prospect now understands, kind of like hanging out together and talk things out as if walking down the park.

Every ebook I read on marekting has similar content.
However, I always pick up new data, or ideas from every one of them.

It certainly is better to represent a product or program in an industry that you have an interest in, a passion for, or an expertise in. This is especially true when you first start out and are not making any money.
After time, hopefully you develop Internet marketing skills and able to branch into niches, which are profitable, and can make you money, regardless whether you have an interest in them or not.

I believe that the best opportunity for one may not make the next successful. It is all about knowing your own strengths and weakness, and putting forth the will power to succeed.

So true and being able to believe in ourselves, in our business or opportunity and our ability to help others will create a posture and confidence in us that affects ALL areas of our lives.
The personal development I have received since I have gotten started in a home business has affected my family, marriage, kids and my relationship with others - so it has blessings beyond the money we make!

This is a great thread! I totally agree with the whole idea of working to together and helping each other succeed. We don't sell any products really, we simply offer content websites that are building a community of local content sites run by local people, but the dynamics are the same.
The sense of common purpose and the carrot of possibly being able to compete with the "big boy" websites out there is so much fun. We really do love working with our associates.
Just because we now communicate so much electronically hasn't changed the fact that there is another human on the other end.
Cheers
