Most people have a misconception about a network marketing business. They think that by getting a friend or anyone into the business is the way to make money. It may look like that on the surface but its much more then introducing friends the opportunity and making money.

Recently, I was chatting with one of my team members and she asked, “Terry, do I need to enroll people into the business in order to make money? And get the new enrollee to do the same in order for him or her to make money?”

I didn’t reply her and thought for a moment. Do network marketing work that way? Back in my mind I knew that it don’t work that way but I was dumbfounded and did not know how to explain to her.

Deep in my heart I knew that a network marketing business is more than just enrolling people and making money. It’s about helping your team to grow their business.

Many people don’t see it that way, they think that just by enrolling more people into the business they will make more money. That’s not the case, very often a high percentage of the people they enrolled will eventually dropout from the business simply because they can’t grow their business.

Like I mentioned earlier, network marketing business is more than just making money, it is about team work, leadership and real life business education that most will never learn from school.

After a moment of thought, I replied her. I told her it’s much more than enrolling people, it is about helping your team to grow their business.

She replied, “Huh?” (I guess she was still puzzled and confused)

I don’t think she get the picture at that moment. I gave her an example.

It doesn’t matter if you can enroll 100 or 200 people in a month, if they are unable to grow their business, they are all going to quit! You need to educate them on how they can grow their business so that they can duplicate what you do.

If you enroll only 10 people and educate them on how they can grow their business. They will learn, apply and grow. A team of 10 will turn into a team of 100, it goes on and they won’t even think about quitting because their team is growing and they are making money. In return, you make money whey your team makes money.

“Oh, so this is the secret to growing my business. I will go do that!”. She began to understand about how network marketing works.

If you still think that just by enrolling or recruiting new members is the way of making money than you are wrong. It is about helping your team to grow. If you haven’t been doing that, it’s still not too late to start.

All successful businesses have a number of factors in common with each other. One thing for sure is that they have all developed a system for success and rarely deviate from that system.

It’s a system of operating that ultimately ensures profitability. The system will most likely have written procedures that can be followed when decisions have to be made. A set of guidelines and boundaries of operation that prevent long term loss making situations from happening.

When considering any future decisions for your internet business, you will at some point have narrowed the options down to two choices. At this point every decision you make has resulting consequences.

When difficult decisions have to be made, following your own already proven system for success will ensure that the right decision is made and at the right time.

Fact of life is that there are those that win big and those that win small. Don’t get me wrong it’s better to be winning and living to fight another day, but ask yourself what is the reason I’m doing this and often you will have your answer to the way forward in your business.

Passing up on the latest marketing course to hit the stands is a decision that ultimately is made by those who have come to understand and truly know where they are going with their business. Only when you have clear objectives and direction, will you be able to say no to the latest best thing since the last best thing.

Too often people run down one street and instead of keeping going, they make a right or left turn and start running down that new street. Pretty soon if they are lucky they’ll find themselves back at square one, unfortunately many will take a long time and may even give up before they realize what has happened.

Business success is the elimination of those practices that do not work or add value and the increase of ones that do. Did you eliminate either a bad practice or add value to your business today? Get this one wrong and you’ll be very unlikely to win big.

Testing what is or is not working in your business processes can ultimately lead you down the path of clear objectives and direction. Go ahead and start your own black book today and pretty soon you’ll see what needs to be eliminated and what needs to be increased. Above all, make sure you have clear business objectives and a system in place to highlight quickly those practices that are not working.

There are various marketing methods used by successful internet marketers today. You have search engine marketing, affiliate marketing, search engine optimization, pay per click, pay per impression, cost per action and cost per sale to name a few. Mastering some or all of these systems is a requirement for many if not all competitive businesses online.

Business intelligence can give you a clear direction in which to drive your business. Obtaining, analyzing and benefiting from your research is a skill you will wish to master in order to stay one step ahead.

Deriving your own system is good, but copying that of already successful businesses can save you a lot of time and expense over the long term. This may be something worth considering if you have not developed clear objectives and a system for success for your own business.
