NETWORK MARKETING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

 

NETWORK MARKETING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

Last night in my bed I was reflecting on my early days in network marketing profession, I remembered some good times and some sad moments, I equally remembered about some things I did wrong. 

It's been an exciting adventure though. 

It's been a long throw from where I was to where I am now. I don't really think that I would have had experienced the level of personal growth I have now if I was  in any other industry. 

Today's training is focused on the primary things that you have to understand as a beginner in network marketing business. 

Although, there are different network marketing business tips and tricks, there are different tips to success in network marketing business but what I'll be explaining here today is like the foundation that will provide you with tips for building your network marketing business.

During my early days in network marketing business no one exposed me to this idea. I had to discover it myself after struggling in my first network marketing company for 8 months without any recruit.

I didn't know anything about network marketing strength. I didn't know that we function best in network marketing based on our area of strength.

If you are a beginner in network marketing business and you want to build a lucrative business then, it's advisable that you build your business in your area of strength.

I have been able to classify network marketing strength into 

#1) ONLINE STRENGTH

#2) OFFLINE STRENGTH

Online strength simply means that you enjoy building your network marketing business online while offline strength means that you enjoy building your network marketing business offline.

Now back to my story...

During those early days in my network marketing journey, since I was introduced into the industry by someone who was building his business offline, he taught me what he was doing and I followed. I followed because I didn't know my area of networking strength and because of that I struggled for 8 months without recruiting despite the fact that I was doing what he taught me.

It was after a while as I researched more on how  other networkers where building their network marketing business that I discovered that some people were building their business online. 

To cut the long story short I studied and implemented their strategies and started seeing results with ease.

This concept is very essential. It's very necessary to know your networking strength, like it's always said, if you are not having fun while building your network marketing business then you are not doing it right.

As a beginner in network marketing business the first thing to identify is your netwoking strength once you've identified it, refined and use it. You can supplement it with your area of weakness.

Tips on how to identify your networking strength.

There are different ways you can identify if your strength is online or offline. I'll give you few tips below.

#1 ONLINE STRENGTH: you have an online netwoking strength if you have these attributes.

A) INTROVERT: An introvert is someone that gains energy when they are alone. Most introverts prefer interacting with their phones and laptops than to have a physical interaction with people. If you are an introvert, there's this possiblity of you having an online strength.

B) LONG CHATS ONLINE: Many people don't like surfing the web let alone chatting with people online. But if you caught yourself chatting online for long without getting bored, you are likely to have an online networking strength.

C) RECRUITING: Anyone with an online strength will easily recruit prospects online than offline. Observe yourself closely... Which area do you recruit prospects easily, a careful analysis will expose you to your area of strength.

D) DIGITAL AGE : People that are born in this generation are most likely to have the online networking strength because of the environment they are in. Now, this doesn't mean that those that are not born in the digital age can't function in this category what it means is that if you are born in this era, you are likely to have an online networking strength.

E) PHILOSOPHY: Your philosophy can equally determine if your strength is online or offline. For example if you believe that it's difficult or stressful to recruit people offline you will only focus on using the online approach to build your business even if you haven't tried using the offline approach before.

#2 OFFLINE STRENGTH: you have an offline networking strength if you possess these attributes.

A) EXTROVERT: An extrovert is someone that gains energy when he is with other people. An extrovert is the opposite of an introvert. If you are an extrovert there's this possiblity that you have an offline networking strength because you will be able to connect physically  with your prospects which is what you naturally love doing.

B) RECRUITING: A networker who is an extrovert will recruit more people easily offline than online. Some networks that are extroverts see online prospecting as a total waste of time and they have never recruited any prospect online , they only function better offline.

C) OLDER GENERATION: If you were born before the digital era there's a possibility that your networking strength is offline. But, it's not always in all ramifications because I've seen some older generations building great organization online. Nevertheless, most older generation networkers have an offline networking strength.

D) PHILOSOPHY: Just as in the case of having an online networking strength, your philosophy can equally make you to have an offline networking strength. For example if you believe that it's more stressful to recruit online, you will only focus on prospecting and recruiting offline even without trying the online approach before.

In conclusion: If you are new to network marketing profession is better to start by identifying your networking strength so that you know where to concentrate your efforts. If you operate against your area of strength, you won't enjoy your networking process. Once you have been able to identify your network marketing strength, you want to develop, refined it and build your network marketing business in that area of strength. You can always supplement it with your area of weakness.
