MLM Training-Secrets of keeping Your MLM Team On FIRE and Motivated

MLM Motivation.

Two very misunderstood concepts. The average network marketer today wants to keep their team motivated and FIRED UP! That is normal, as you always want them to be mentally and psychologically elevated for Success in Network Marketing.

But here is the challenge:

INFERNO Secret;

You CANNOT motivate anyone to Success. They must motivate themselves. We waste so much time, even a lot of trainers that teach motivation, trying to get the team and people pumped, juiced, jammed, onFire and motivated.

It simply is not going to happen unless you follow the Rules of Reality in MLM Motivation. These rules are based in reality, not hype, and honesty, not empty enthusiasm.

Ok…what are the 5 Rules of Reality in Network Marketing Motivation?

1) You MUST INSPIRE, not just Motivate.

The greek definition for INSPIRE is “breath within.” This means that you must create within the person the “breath” of confidence and energy that they can connect to and embrace.

How?

Modeling.

You must be the role model and guide to show your mlm folks that you are worthy of following, and are a leader. Do what you ask them to do, and do it BIG. Show them that you believe in what you are saying, and you do it daily. And through your actions and words, let them “breathe” into their hearts, and keep them inspired and wanting to follow you into a greater life of Success in MLM.

2) You MUST Praise, not just Promote.

Praise is the secret weapon to motivating people. Many times, we will promote the new folks who went up a pin level, and that is important. But praising someone for a valiant effort will motivate 10 times more.

Why?

People will always appreciate being appreciated for the effort, not just the result. Motivation must have a foundation of praise and recognition. If you have that foundation and praise and recognize your people for their efforts, you will find that there will be more pin levels to celebrate.

3) You MUST pour into them what has been ignored.

Most people never get much of any encouragement. That is out job in MLM. We must encourage those who not only need it, but all who are on your team. There is nothing more motivating than the right word at the right time. A word of belief, or a word of “I am there with you” can go a long way in keeping people onFIRE. You must pour into your team Big Thinking, Big Belief, Big Vision, Big Future, Big Life. You must constantly say the 4 most powerful words in network marketing: “I believe in you.”

If you pour into the person what has been ignored most of their life, they will follow you wherever you go, for the rest of their life. They will become ‘addicted” to your encouragement and hope that they feel from you.

4) You MUST introduce new Success ideas and Bigger Possibilities into their heart.

New ideas that enlarge a person are worth their weight in gold in MLM. Have you ever seen someone get ignited when they had an “aha” moment? You need to become the “aha master” and continually introduce new Success and possibilities into their life. Most jobs and family cultures are limited and shrink most people’s dreams. Enlarge your teams’ dreams.

The Million Dollar question: WHY ARE YOU THINKING SO SMALL?

Ramp your team up with some Success ideas that will expand and enlarge their brains beyond where they have ever been!

5) You MUST give personal time and attention to those who deserve it.

Nothing motivates more than personal attention in Network Marketing. Focusing in on one person for a time, maybe over lunch or coffee, and pouring into them individually. Personal encouragement is a great way to give personal attention to folks. Find out what is meaningful to them. Find out what they TRULY want in life, and listen to why. Discover what is important in life to them and why. Ask what they want to change more than anything about their life. Ask about family, kids, faith, hobbies, interests, etc.

Find out WHO THEY ARE.

Discover what trips their trigger, and get them so excited that they would be 24/7 to get it. That is giving someone personal time and attention. It is worth it’s weight in gold.

You cannot motivate anyone. But you can inspire and pour into them so they will motivate themselves to create an MLM business that could make them wealthy.

Now THAT is true motivation in MLM and Network Marketing!

MLM Scams

The old saying goes, “A few bad apples spoil the bunch.” It could not be more true when you are thinking about getting into MLM. There are so many legitimate opportunities that have been spoiled by some MLM scams giving the business opportunity a bad name. Yes, there are legitimate MLM opportunities out there, you just need to be able to tell the difference between the good businesses and the MLM scams.

MLM is a legitimate business model, but some people have chosen to create MLM scams from this model. You really can, with a lot of work, make good money with MLM, which is a multi-level marketing business model. Also known as network marketing, you have an upline and build a downline while selling unique services or products. The problem is, while this model is legitmate, there are a lot of people creating MLM scams and illegal schemes that have smeared the MLM name.

So, what are some common MLM scams? The most popular MLM scam is very much illegal, and it is has been around for the longest time. In a pyramid scheme, a company will offer large profits if you invest in their program. Do you actually sell the products? No. This is one of those MLM scams where the money is paid in without you ever seeing any money for the products.

Another one of the most common MLM scams is called a Ponzi scheme. This is similar to the pyramid scheme, but with one difference. With a Ponzi scheme there is not actually a product. The company promises you large returns if you invest with them, but they only take the investment to pay off the people who have been in the program longer.

With these type of MLM scams the promises sound legitimate, but the companies will most likely take your money and run. So what are the things you should look for to tell if you are dealing with one of those MLM scams?

First, ask if the company is more interested in bringing in new members than selling any product. After all, new members mean more competition, especially if there are not a lot of products to sell.

Also, beware of companies that want you to purchase a lot of product or inventory before you begin selling. MLM scams often require that you purchase items that are backordered, or you will purchase the items and never see them.

MLM scams often make preposterous claims about their products. The advertisements are extremely exaggerated, and if the ads sound to good to be true, they probably are. These exaggerations are most common with MLM scams that promote nutritional supplements. So check into them carefully.

Making Money with Affiliate Programmes and Google AdWords

There are many online billing and marketing services that have been created for the development of affiliate programmes. They provide tracking services to enable merchants to pay a designated amount of money to the person who referred the business to the merchant, which serves as a commission payment. They know who the affiliate is because the affiliate uses a special link provided by the affiliate network that uniquely identifies them, and then they track the visitor's progress through the merchant's site to the sale of the product.

Google AdWords is one of many pay-per-click services with which you can place advertising at low rates. You write an advertisement for Google AdWords that will appear on the "sponsored links" section of their search results, and you tell Google that you would like your ad shown when somebody searches for specific keywords. You get charged a small fee each time somebody clicks on your advertisement, and thereby visits your designated website.

Link the two together, and what have you got? An easy way of making money quickly! Well, it would be easy if nobody else knew about the technique. The trouble is that hundreds of thousands of people are well aware of this technique to make money, and as a result, lots of ads exist for most worthwhile keywords. If an advertisement is already listed for the keyword that you want to list for, then you must be prepared to pay more per click than that advertiser to get your advertisement listed, and then the costs of advertising ramp up.

If you can get in first with an advertisement campaign, you have an advantage. Google AdWords rewards advertisers who write copy that attracts clicks by lowering the cost per click that these advertisers have to pay to get their ads listed near the top of the list. This way, ads can build up history. One way of getting into this market is by striking while the iron is hot. If you can find a vendor that has just started an affiliate programme, you may be able to get in with a good ad before anyone else does.

ClickBank is a famous payment processor and affiliate network tracker that have over 10,000 downloadable goods available. There are plenty of products available through ClickBank that can be marketed in this way, and new vendors are coming along all the time. Commission Junction are another famous network that provide a similar tracking and commission-payment service with new products quickly coming in, and there are plenty of others. Some organisations like Amazon operate their own affiliate tracking network; indeed, Amazon made the model popular. Those affiliate marketers who are successful sometimes achieve that success by finding these new products, and marketing them before anybody else does. In this way, they maximise their chances of generating autopilot income.

David Thomas is a web publisher who runs a website dedicated to revealing the techniques involved in successfully making money on the web. He has just started the world's first free list of new ClickBank vendors that lists not only new product vendors, but also information required by advertisers to start campaigns.
