Many people just don't know how to follow a simple proven system and make it harder than it is. To be a top earner they keep it simple so duplication can develop.

Read on and you will see what top earners do to succeed and what not to do...

Most leader get on the phone everyday and build relationship which converts people into their business most people don't like to do this (this is what works)

Now once you have enough leads that you don't need to talk with people that is a different story. You can also use a skill that I use in my MLM but is not used in the MLM industry which generated 87 sales in 6 hours.

You can learn it from internet, sales copy guy Frank Kern

PM if you want to know of a good follow up system better and cheap than aweber. No matter how much your list grows the price stays the same.

Yes of course, people should make a goal to talk to at LEAST 5 people per day and let them know about their opportunity.

Yes, meeting people over the phone and in person is always best, yet many (even here at BN) think they can grow a substantial business just by blogging, and social networking online. Not very likely this day and age with more sellers than buyers it seems online.

Plus those selling "Internet only" tools and services are missing out on at least 80% (and about 40% who would never see their online marketing message) of the people that might be interested in something much simpler, like "snacks" for example. Everybody can relate to healthy snacks whether you are in the office at work, in your home with the kids, or even walking around town shopping and always keeping samples handy in one's purse, or briefcase with a business card.

It's fine if you're selling marketing tools to your group or downline to use to help them, but first you have to develop a group, and the odds are highly against those that sell internet based services and tools only. The market is just not big enough in this space for all the sellers and that's a major drawback.

Plus there are those selling marketing tools only as their primary network marketing business and I believe this is a huge mistake too, and their business will not grow to the point where they will develop a "walk away income" as they say.

Again, keeping things simple so that anybody (even a ten year old) can do is always best and it involves personally meeting and speaking with people over the phone and face to face whenever possible, and again, if the target market a marketer is selling to is internet based only, good luck, because they are going to need it.

I've been online marketing products and services since 1995, and have done quite well over the years, and I''ve noticed a couple of important things:

1. People that gravitate all the time to "free, and cheap" (in some cases it's good depending on the circumstance), are more than likely not going to do much business, and not make them or you any money.

2. People that sell internet based tools/services and internet based mlm programs may do ok, but the odds are heavily, and I do mean heavily against them making any substantial amount of money in this space only, because after all; many forget this is business (like all business) involving networking, marketing, and making sales to real people not just someone on the other end of a computer screen.

Anyway, that's my two cents and we all agree, keep it simple. And with that said, I'll say keep it simple, keep it healthy, and keep it fun to eat so even a kid can relate to it, and that's another huge market that most in the MLM/Networking Marketing industry completely ignore, or forget about. Yes, kids! Kids consume too, and who are the best marketers; kids again, just ask McDonalds. Get the kids "hooked" and the wallets will follow for sure, and they will more than likely have a life long customer.

I see it time and time again, the parent goes to McDonalds to get their kids a "happy meal" (complete garbage), and end up spending fifty bucks by the time they leave. Fun, tasty food and toys the kids will love, and so the kids bug the you know what out of the parents to go to MickyD's until the parents capitulate and go. Heck, I need a team of 30 or so kids in my group and the rest would be history as they say. :0) All kidding aside....

One last thought...

E.G. "Hey Kids! Would you like this new fangled wizbang marketing tool and gadget that can help you make tons of money on the Internet, and you get 100% commissions, and it's free, but if you upgrade it's only five bucks?" Kids, "What's a new fangled gadget!?" Ok, how about a fun snack instead? Kids, "YES! gime, gime, gime!" Should I say more? Right, end of story. Good Day!

Top earners have a refine system...regardless of the lead generation/follow up method. I personally enjoy generating leads via the Internet, getting individuals involved with the products/services that I offer, and at that point introduce them to my MLM opportunity.

You really need to build relationships with people (one way or another) in order to be successful in this industry. After being involved with Internet marketing in some form or fashion since 2008, the ability to follow a proven system is what separates winners from losers.
