Why 98% Of Network Marketers Feel Like ‘Homer Simpson’ On A Bad Day…

"D'OH!"
That’s exactly what most Network Marketers end up saying to themselves as they bump their hand against their head, when they find out the MASSIVE mistake they’ve been making in their business this whole time.
But unlike Homer, who will never be able to figure it out even if you drew it out for him step by step…. you can do something about it!
So what the heck am I talking about here?
Mistake?
What mistake?...
In order for you to really understand why THIS mistake is the MOST pressing problem right now with the majority of newbie entrepreneurs who are testing their luck, trying to bring their business (MLM, Affiliate Marketing, Direct Sales, Network Marketing etc…) online, we have to go back to the basics.
Remember, there are really only 2 ways to grow your business.
It’s either offline (traditional methods like friends and family, cold calling etc.) OR it’s online (using the Internet to reach millions…)
By now, most people have realized how difficult it can be to speak to an untargeted group of people like your friends and family, or to have the super “salesman” personality you need in order to recruit people off the street. And instead, see the MASSIVE potential in bringing their business online.
However what they don’t realize is that marketing offline and marketing online are 2 completely different worlds.
You see, marketing offline is very simple.
You find the closest human being. Grab them for a company presentation. Show them your “wonder” drug. If they like it, they’ll join you. If they don’t, then “Bye bye”. And the process starts all over again.
Simple.
Now online marketing however does NOT work this way. And it doesn’t because it is a completely different platform with a whole different set rules.
Remember there is no face to face human contact. There is no warm fuzzy feeling when people see your smile or shake your hand. There is no touching or sampling of your product.
Instead, what you have online is a bombardment of “offers” and advertising that we have kept out of our lives by building a wall around ourselves and have conveniently coined — SPAM!
So if you’re online for 5 hours a day, adding 5000 friends on Facebook, blasting promotional product/business emails to everyone you know, writing an article a day about how amazing your product is and how it’s changed your life…
And you’re still only generating 3 leads a day (if any at all) and spend more each week than you earn…
And are wondering why you’re getting these types of results?!
It's because you're feeling like Homer Simpson on a bad day...
“D’OH!”
You’ve jumped the gun.
You’re not equipped.
You have no idea what you’re doing.
You see, to be a good marketer requires you to understand the fundamentals of what really works online. It requires you to be equipped with the right tools and websites so that you can actually run a “proper” business.
Ask yourself, would you open a restaurant without a kitchen, menus or a chef?
Or would you open a magazine company without investing in proper paper or good writers?
Pretty obvious isn’t it?
Absolutely NOT!
So why would you try to bring your business online if you don’t have all the things you need to make it successful? And one of the most important things that will increase your chances of leveraging these tools successfully is — YOUR EDUCATION…
Your education is something that I also like to call your “Foundation”. Without a good foundation, your business will crumble to the ground quicker than you can build it.
Your foundation not only encompasses the knowledge you need to generate leads, and turns leads into sales, but it also includes all the websites, tools and resources you need for this to happen.
Now I know this doesn’t sound sexy at all.
Focus on my education? Who wants to waste time doing that?!
Let’s get to work. Let’s take action!
And I applaud your enthusiasm. But recommend that you take a step back, regroup and focus on the one thing that will help you solve the problem that 98% of OUR industry experiences on a daily basis.
Problem = "Being unequipped with the right tools to get the job done, and getting the right
education to use those tools properly".
Remember that education is power. And it is no different when it comes to building a successful business online.
So if you want to learn more about what I’ve been using to solve the “problem” that almost everyone in our community suffers from…then head on over to….The "Anti Homer" Strategy

Great Advice Aaron!
You're right, it's a common and simple mistake that is taught through offline marketing, leading with your product and opportunity, which never worked for most people anyway. Then of course it's going to work even less online, and so a huge shift has to be made to focus on You and what solutions YOU can provide!
Thanks for making this point, it can never be stated enough!

Commitment to learn and invest money is a must for success!
Thank you for your open view.
I learn that to succeed in any business we have to be Willing to give up things we love and make a commitment to invest money and time to learn the steps to success. (Reading books,listen audios, going to events)on daily basis.
Also a big mistake is: Do we learn from people who have done it? Are they financially free? Are we following the Proven Recipe to success?

Open Heart Surgery Done By People Who Were Not Trained
What you just described is exactly like people who had only studied a book about open heart surgery and did notlearn practical skills on how to operate on someone. You want someone with practical knowledge not book knowledge. Without learning the correct skills from people who had massive results with correct massive action they are throwing their precious time into the trash can.
An alarming differences
I am from Kuala Lumpur. New at online but 20 yrs offline marketing. BetterNetworker is part of my routine classes. I embraced most teaching advocated here but it went 360 degree turning when i decided to be an online MLM. People at this end went straight into selling, selling, selling & promising returns within weeks/months. Surprisingly the success rate is Very high. Is this a short-term phenomena? and on average how long can one show positive result after following the correct system/tools/education/mentoring etc. will the cost be alarming for a beginner from this part of the world

Absolutely Vicki. What's
Absolutely Vicki. What's needed is a real mindshift. You can't expect 2 different platforms to work on the same principles. Thanks for sharing...
Hi Nancy, I'm glad you're
Hi Nancy, I'm glad you're getting the right education to get your business sorted out. Consider yourself ahead of the curve ;)
You're absolutely right
You're absolutely right Lawrence. The only way to really succeed in this business is to take the "proper" action taught by people that have already gotten the results you are looking for.
Hey Aaron
Education is soooooooooo important. Unless of course you can find that magic button to press.

Pretty cool article Aaron
Pretty cool article. Education is abundant. Unfortunately, so is spam. Forget about get rich quick. Would it be less enjoyable if it took a couple of years to get there?
I don't think so.
