If you have been in network marketing for any length of time you most likely been told that Network Marketing is easy and a unique form of business with its own rules.

Most network marketers end up blindly following the suggestions of their uplines about the ways to find and recruit new prospects into their downline. But are these the most effective methods of building a mlm prospect into a successful network marketing business builder?

So let’s just jump right in and identify the 7 biggest mistakes in network marketing

1-Failure to write out a plan of action 2-Having a belief that any “joe blow” can do this 3-Believing it’s as simple as just sharing with others 4-Bugging friends and family is a marketing strategy 5-You need to give away company cds and dvds 6-The idea that every NO is closer to a Yes 7-That the 3 foot rule is really a solid marketing style

Does that list look like the stuff you have been taught to do by your upline or company? Well most people will never duplicate the success of the top income earners in their company using these methods. The fact is unless you are a super personality with incredible sales skills you will not succeed with these techniques.

Things have changed and what used to work in network marketing isn’t the same now. With the advent of the internet, email and social networks there has been a huge revolution in how business and people connect and socialize. There is a huge revolution going on that network marketers are just discovering.

New methods for meeting and connecting with people are now making it possible for the network marketer to utilize the power of the internet and the social marketing sites to dramatically cut their marketing expenses and even advertise to interested and qualified prospects for free. The out-dated methods still taught by the majority of mlm’s will not get you the financial freedom that you are seeking.

How can you overcome these mistakes that cause you to make your friends and family uncomfortable to be around you, because you are always pitching them on the latest “business opportunity” you have.Or the fear you have of picking up the phone and calling old high school classmates you haven’t talked to in years.

Have you felt like it was just a huge waste of time and money spending hours and hours calling hundreds or thousands of leads who didn’t want what you were selling? Have you placed classified ads, both online and off? Or done pay- per- click or banner ads without the success you expected? Well there is an alternative that can put a smile back on your face.
