My friend Mike said that, 'people fail in mlm, network marketing, internet marketing, or home business opportunities for two main reasons.
1. Most people start with a shoe string budget, but since they don't know how to effectively advertise and promote their businesses, they run out of money without having the opportunity grow and explode their business.
2. They pitch their mlm, network marketing, internet marketing, or home business opportunities to their family, friends, and co-workers. Then they run out of people to talk to, and out of money to advertise.' That's a sad scenario.
The key to not fail in mlm, network marketing, internet marketing, or home business opportunities; is to implement a franchise system with a proven marketing strategy that works. Sort of like Mc Donald's, the casinos in Las Vegas, movie theaters, and others.
For intance, do you think Mc Donald's is in the hamburger business? How about Las Vegas' casinos? They advertise, "what happens in Vegas stays in vegas." Movie theaters, Do you think they could stay in business by merely selling admission tickets?
Let me tell you why Mc Donald's can afford to sell a burger for a $1 dollar. Because it knows that when you buy that extra slice of cheese, fries, and soda, it will make a huge profit margin on them.
Las Vegas casinos lure you with their entertainment advertising, but they don't tell you that they want you to lose all your money in gambling which is where the real money is made.
The same with movie theaters, you take your family to watch a movie, and you easily spend $40 bucks in popcorn, sodas, and candies, not including the admission tickets!
Do you see what is going on here? Do you see the marketing strategy at work? If these businesses did not a have a game plan, they would go out of business or they would have a hard time staying in business.
The question that must be popping in your mind by now is, what does that have to do with my mlm, network marketing, internet marketing, or home business opportunity? It has a lot to do with it, if not all of it! The strategy is based on the ABC business model. Once you understand it and apply it to your mlm business, network marketing business,internet marketing business, or home business opportunity__viola! Your business will explode!
What is this ABC business model, and why is it vital to your, mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunity? Let's just say that part A, part B, and part C, all three parts compliment each other.
Part A is the most important of the three parts, yet most people only use part B and C. Especially if you are advertising your business on a shoe string budget! Do you see now why people fail in business? Can your mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunity survive on parts B and C only? Sure it can, but it will cost you a fortune in advertising, and I guarantee it!
Part A is designed to help you fund your advertising, and generate prospects for your business.
Part B is designed to put quick cash in your pocket to pay bills or to invest to further grow your business, and part C is your long-term residual income.
How does part A help you fund your advertising so you don't run out of money? Simple. Sell a low cost high volume item that is closely related to your mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunity. Something easy to sell whether you are an expert or not. It could be a nutrition product, a service, or an affiliate program, but it has to be closely related to your mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunity. The reason for doing that, is that it is a lot easier to sell $500 dollars in retail products than it is in building a $500 residual income, do you follow?
Just to give you a perfect example, as a network marketer, would you buy a business that is worth $1,000 to $2,000 dollars without thinking about it,or would you be more inclined to buy an inexpensive book that shows you how to be successfull with that business? If you are like me, you would buy the book and educate yourself first. A book like this would be a retail product that sells easily.
By implementing Part A which will lead to Part B and then to part C, your mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunity will always be up and running, and no longer worried about running out of advertising funds.
Part B in mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunities comes in the form of fast start bonuses aka "bread and butter." As you continue to implement part A it will not only fund your advertising campaings, but also will generate endless prospects for your business. Remember, Part A has to be closely related to your main business.
Do you see now why part A is so vital for your business?
When you do your advertising, vary your advertising. Do not rely solely on one form of advertising. My wise friend Mario said, "a table can not stand on one leg, (a conventional table) and neither will your mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunity be able survive on one form of advertising alone.
Apply this ABC business model in your mlm business, network marketing business, internet marketing business, or home business opportunity and you will never ever have to worry about running out of money,or failing in this industry again.

Network Marketing Do's and Don'ts
by: Nial Robbins
Why did you become a network marketer? Most people immediately respond,
“for the money!” However, this is not the real reason.
No one subjects them to the hard work of building a business just for
little pieces of paper with the faces of dead presidents. The truth is you
work in order to obtain what those little pieces of paper can bring you.
The first thing you need to do is to find the reason WHY you are a
network marketer. Is it the freedom to choose whatever you want to do
whenever you want to do it? Maybe you are looking for a different
lifestyle. If there is one thing that is critical to your network
marketing success, this is it. If you don’t have a reason, there is no
motivation to succeed.
A network marketing business is a teaching and coaching business. If
you don’t like interaction with other people, a network marketing business
probably is not for you. There’s a concept that most network marketers
just can’t seem to get a handle on. You do not sponsor “reps,” you sponsor
“people!”
If you have to find a reason why you are building your business, then
doesn’t it stand to reason that other people will have to do the same
thing? If that’s the case, then why is it that network marketers
continually focus on how much money your prospect can earn?
There’s no way you are going to convince “Joe Sixpack,” to get out of
his Lazyboy recliner unless you find out what his motivation is. Most
network marketers literally pound in the amount of money Joe can earn.
They bombard him with message after message about how “Successful Sam” has
just purchased his 10th Porsche, refurnished his 25,000 square foot
cottage and promise Joe that he can do the same!
Just how realistic is this approach? Joe isn’t stupid. He works long,
hard hours at his job in order to provide for his family and truly
believes that the best thing he can hope for is saving enough money by
summer to pay for a camping trip. Then here you come, promising Joe that
he can have everything that Sam has and he can have it if he will just
sign that piece of paper making you his sponsor!
You will probably sponsor a few people that way, but if you are in
business for the long haul you need to change your approach and do it
fast.
The proper approach is so simple, but in your rush to sponsor another
“rep” instead of helping another person, all too often you talk yourself
into and straight out of sponsoring the Joes of the world.
God gave you two ears and one mouth and he did it for a reason. We are
supposed to “listen” twice as much as we “speak.”
Instead of pouncing on Joe with the latest and greatest network
marketing program of all time, find out what Joe wants and needs. Ask him
questions, lots of questions. In fact, in your first meeting with Joe,
don’t even mention your business! Yes, that’s what I said. Don’t even
bring it up. Remove yourself from the super duper network marketing
persona and spend time making a new friend.
Follow these recommendations and you are set to grow your business
exponentially.
