How to Build a Productive Downline Part 1: Become the Sponsor You Never Had
By Dave Dutton
Network Marketers have always searched for a simple and effective way to “Clone” themselves; knowing that if they could overcome this problem they would reach the levels of success we ALL dream about in this business.
The problem is that 95% of the people in a MLM business usually fail and the inability to duplicate, I believe, has a lot to do with it.
Let’s say the 95% failure rate is accurate for a minute…
I’m not the best at math, but that would mean that 5% of the people in this business are successful and some probably wildly successful. It’s also likely that most of us are recruited into a program by someone in the 95% category.
Now for those of us that want to join the ranks of the 5%’ers, it’s our job to sift through as many prospects as we can until we find other 5%’ers like us; people who want to work hard and build a long term residual income business.
The problem for me was I had to figure out how to do this while I kept my full time job. My family needed health insurance and while I can’t stand my current job, it does provide us with needed things such as insurance and helps pay a few bills.
The solution for me was to build a system that sorted and sifted for me while I was working at my full time job. The great part about it (and honestly shocking too) is that it worked like crazy and my team started to explode!
It literally felt like I hit the JACKPOT at a casino or something! With one big difference though…I get paid every month and it keeps growing and growing with each passing month!
For now, let’s talk more about the solution.
It’s simple actually…
You need to become the sponsor you never had (as I like to call it) and become a leader for others to follow.
That’s it… it’s THAT simple!
Do you think you have it in you?
I know I didn’t think I did when I first started…
But I did know one thing… If I didn’t step up to the plate right then and give it a shot, when would I?
Tomorrow?
Next week?
Maybe Never…
Would I step up to the plate “after” I became a leader (never works that way) or would I step up right then and start leading?
It was at that point that I made the strengthening decision to take charge of my life and start branding myself as a leader in this business and it was the best decision I have ever made!
Now, before you take the same plunge, the one thing you must “Get” first is that it all starts from within you…
The strengthening decision to become a leader and really go for it is the first step and one you must take seriously and follow through on.
That really is the true secret to this whole crazy recruiting thing.
After all, if you teach your team how to recruit by giving them a proven system, their income and yours will increase and everyone wins (more on this later.)
By stepping up and becoming the sponsor you never had, you will end up in the 5% ranks much sooner, opposed to later or never.
When I say “Become The Sponsor You Never Had” I’m mainly referring to a mindset or philosophy…
The philosophy of wanting more from life and knowing that helping people and making a difference is what’s it’s really all about.
That mental shift is all I needed in order to help my team expand and duplicate. This same mental shift may be all you need to take your business to the next level.
Once I stopped thinking about making money and started thinking about how to help others make money is when I started to make money. (Read that sentence slowly one more time)
My confidence level seemed to skyrocket too after I stopped focusing on how I could make money.
I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but if you’re in a tight spot right now and needing money is your main motivation for getting involved in network marketing… your chances of attaining success will be severely hindered.
Hindered, yes – impossible, no.
This manuscript is going to reveal how you can step up to the plate and transform yourself into a leader and start succeeding in this business!
It’s time to stop following the 95%’ers around and time for YOU to start leading them!
Let’s get to work…

How To Make More Money
By Jeff Schuman
When it comes to making money online there seems to be 2 categories of people.
1. The Haves
2. The Have Nots
That may be true in life in general, but it does bring up an interesting question that seems to be repeated over and over in discussion forums all over the internet…
How do I make more money with my online business?
One post was titled “Are You Making Enough Money”?
Here are a few responses.
“My wife says I am not making enough. She may be right.”
“If earning 0 is enough then wooooooooo!”
“I’m making way more than enough money, infact, I have so much that…. Oh sorry, just dreaming there for a moment”
etc…etc…
It was surprising to me that I was not able to find very many posts of people who felt they were making enough money in their internet business. Now that can certainly mean there are people not earning anything at all and are spending money they do not have to try and make something. These are people who have a little bit of a gambler in them. They are truely trying, but are not getting the results yet. I like this group because with a little bit of guidance they can succeed!
Then another group of people are people who sit around and spend most of their time complaining they are not making any money, but are not spending one penney on advertising to try and get traffic to their websites. These people are not only not gamblers, but they are worse than that. They are not actually even doing any of the free things like writing articles and posting in forums to promote their websites. These are the worst kind of internet marketers because they waste everyones time.
I just went back and looked at my websites that are making money. Here is what I learned.
1. All of my websites that I have at least a small pay-per-click advertising campaign going for are making money.
2. I need more websites if I want to make more money
So here is what I am going to tell you to do if you want to make more online. Get a PPC advertising campaign going for your website. Bid on as many keywords as you can. The more the merrier. Bid on hundreds of keywords. But don’t bid more than the minimum. I keep my bids at around .05 cents per click. Add Google Adsense to your sites to create some cash flow. Track your conversion rate. Monitor your expenses versus your income on a daily basis. Once you have one site making money build another one and repeat the process over and over until you are making the amount of money you want every month.
One big benefit of using this strategy is it will keep you busy actually doing something as opposed to sitting around complaining about how you are not making any money. And as you do start to make some money you will feel a real rush of excitement to make even more.
