A Marketer’s Life

I over came bias about network marketing as a valid business model once I realized I could use internet marketing to direct people to a sales presentation. People buy, and they may as well be buying from me!

I’ll never the day. My wife had staggered in the door. She just had the sort of day that makes you want to throw a stapler at your boss and quit your job. In my infinite wisdom I told her I would solve her problem by consulting Google. They never let me down!

I searched for “make money online”!

After a few weeks of research I ended up rolling the dice. It cost me about $800 on the credit card at the time.

What I liked about the online work from home business I chose was you could work from home and you wouldn’t have to tell your friends until the money was already piling up.

Once I finally worked up the nerve to tell her, my wife said, “You better earn your money back and quit”. God love her. Why would I quit if I can earn my money back?

I did earn my money back and more. I even had several 5 figure months. You should have heard the guy at the bank telling me I needed to stop bringing in $6,000.00 checks and start only accepting wire transfers. That was a totally cool day.

There was a down side. Advertising for network marketing that could move an $8,000.00 + product did not come cheap. Eventually I was putting 1.5k in advertising into the new work from home business of every rep I brought on board. I thought that this would jump start them.

The advertising I was doing rocketed me into the top 20 reps listed at the company with in my first 3 months in the network marketing industry. I figured that should really help people blast off to success since it worked so well for me.

Well, they failed at it. I felt responsible. It turned out that I needed to provide my team with more than just responsive marketing if I was going to ensure their success in network marketing.

However, I did recognize the value surrounding me - the people I was working with. I saw how I could place an almost corporate structure around my home business team.
