Many people decide they want to work from home and quit their J.O.B., but they really don't understand what being an Internet Home Business Marketer is all about. Take my brief assessment to see if you have what it takes!
New Marketers Struggle With How To Represent Themselves As Leaders. Try This!
You have just joined your first Online Marketing opportunity and everything you see is about people that have made tons of cash, and have unlimited success.
As you explore marketing yourself (You Inc.) you wonder how there is any way you can portray who you are when you have never had one person join your Online Marketing Team... The answer is very simple and if you follow my game plan you will begin to have people join your team..
Rule #1: Never make up things that are not true to look like someone you are not.
Rule #2: Keep in mind that people that look at you are looking for a "Leader" .. If they can see you as a leader then they can "Follow The Leader"
My game plan starts with a task of gathering your assessment of yourself. Get out a piece of paper and answer the following questions.
1. Two words or phrases that describe qualities about yourself that you admire.
2. Two accomplishments that you look at (other than kids, etc) that you feel have a strong meaning to you.. Be specific !
3. Two things that you enjoy doing that points out the enjoyable components of your life.. example .. golf etc.
4. Two things you would like to accomplish that would have great meaning in your life and to others.
5. Two elements of your personality that portray you as a leader in your mind.
Congratulations !!!! You have just built the framework for allowing people to see the leader that you are. They will be very compelled to build a relationship with you so they too can realize the same skills and benefits of aligning with someone of your skill set.
Next......
Now it is time to write your story and practice it.. Your story should be something you can talk about in 2 1/2 minutes or less. Any longer and you will lose them. Use the most positive attitude you can and put the answers to your question above into a story. Record the story and listen.. Have others listen as well and get feedback. Take the feedback to heart and make changes until you feel comfortable with who you are. Once you have accomploshed this you are ready to put your story and heart on the line.. When you have someone provide their name and email as a lead that you communicate with, ask them why they gave you that information. Use their feedback to discover the points in your story that people gravitate to. It will be the same things all the time and you are going to be amazed at what people hear in your story. Take the feedback and improve your story and then start marketing using those key points as content in your advertising.
Start writing Articles, Blog Posts, Doing Videos, Writing Press Releases, and anything else you can think of that gets you out in front of everyone that you would like to be a leader to.
Your final step....
Start to enjoy your story, believe your story, and realize that no one has a story like yours and no one can duplicate you. Trust me, it won't be long before you can make all the income claims you want and success stories you want. Know what? I am willing to bet that you decide to just stick to your story and and a piece about your success. Welcome to You Inc., one of the fastest growing corporations on the internet!
Good Luck

This was very clearly presented. I did the exercise and found it revealing and helpful to clarify my brand for "Me Inc"
Telling Your Story is a Great Way to Connect on a Deep Level
Charles
Great Article I esp liked the part where you said no one has the same Story as you. It is ok to have a unique story. It is best to tell the truth they will follow you as long as you believe in Yourself. No one follows someone who is unsure. Juanita Waterman
Great article Charles ,you
Great article Charles ,you just covered a topic that has been haunting me for a long time and now I feel like I have been rescued from bondage.
You've Got To Start Somewhere
Hi Charles,
I recently subscribed to a couple of young lady bloggers who are both having great success in their endeavours. And they both say to start where you are. Heck many new people here at BN have a better knowledge on marketing than those who aren't here, just from the exposure.
We can learn to become leaders in our right, by first becoming followers, of the right people of course,
then taking what we've learned, enhance and share it.
Thanks for contributing and sharing your thoughts.
Great Post Charles
I hear this all the time: How can I tell a story when I have had no success in my MLM company? Your life is a story and you have more to offer than a lot of people do. Make sure it comes from the heart, be knowledgable, don't try to fake it, be straightforward and totally honest with yourself and your story.
Julia said it good as well in the fact that you need to be sure of yourself and don't beg someone to become involved with you and your opportunity. Tis is projecting a weak stance and you will not be perceived as someone people would want to follow. Great leaders aren't born...they become great leaders by learning. One of the first things you must do to become a great leader is to be a good follower. Got that from Willie R!
