The 8 Steps to Network Marketing Success
The 8 steps to network marketing success are universal to all network marketing opportunities, and are imperative to your success. In the Empower Network, we refer to these as the 8 core commitments.
The 8 Steps to Network Marketing Success – Step 1 – Set Up Payment Processing
In order to actually get paid for your efforts, you must set up a way to accept payments. In the first of the 8 steps to network marketing success, we must set up our payment system. In the Empower Network, this means setting up our Ewallet account. For other companies, this could mean getting your own merchant account or a Paypal account.
This could also simply mean setting up your EFT (electronic funds transfer), so your company can deposit money into your account directly, or simply opting to receive a check by mail. In any respect, you must have a way to accept payments.
The 8 Steps to Network Marketing Success – Step 2 – Blog Daily!!
By blogging daily, you are creating “traffic magnets” with your content. The more content you create, the more people will find it, and the more who will purchase your products and/or sign up with you in your business.
This is one of the 8 steps to network marketing success that most people over-complicate. If you don’t know how to properly format your blog post, the Empower Network has clear, concise training on how to write your posts to get on the top of the search engines.
The 8 Steps to Network Marketing Success – Step 3 – Market Daily
Marketing daily simply means, getting people to visit your website or to check out your opportunity. It’s as simple as that. The only difference is, how you do it. There are many paid ways to choose from, such as Pay per click, banner ads, Pay per view, etc. Free methods include making videos, backlinking, etc.
There are also many ways to do this offline, such as business cards, flyers and newspaper ads. Video 3 of Empower Network’s 8 Core Commitments explains this in full detail.
Step 4 – New Member Coaching
Whatever business you are in, it is imperative that you coach your new members properly. Every good network marketing company should have a proper system set up that tells you exactly how to do this. There are specifics to each company, but the basics are the same. You must set your new members up for success right from the start!
Step 5 – Empower Hour or Conference Calls
A weekly conference call is necessary to keep all members motivated and informed. At the Empower Network, we hold our Empower Hour call every Monday at 9pm Eastern Standard Time. Just call 209-255-1040 to listen in.
If your network marketing company and/or your team does not hold calls atleast once per week, you may want to suggest this to your upline. The best way for members to achieve their desired results, is to stay plugged in and motivated.
Step 6 – Daily Audio
To keep yourself educated, YOU MUST listen to audio daily. This includes inspirational and motivational audio, as well as educational material. Simply commit atleast 1 hour per day to education, and use some of that to listen to material that will help expand your knowledge and improve your mindset.
Step 7 – Read Daily
This goes hand in hand with Step 6. Commit part of your one hour of daily education to reading. Remember, this is one hour minimum. If you have more time available, then increase this time accordingly.
As an example, I try to read atleast one chapter of educational, motivational or inspirational content every day. You’ll be amazed at how this translates to your business success.
Step 8 – Attend The Events
David Wood, co-founder of the Empower Network told a story of when he was part of a network marketing company, and spoke to one of the leaders who was earning 7 figures per month. David asked what this man’s secret was to earning so much money every month. David was told, “get to the events and bring people with you”.
Empower Network holds events around the United States about 4 times a year. If your company holds events, get to as many as you can. And, bring your team and new people with you. You’ll be surprised how fast your organization grows by doing this one simple thing.
