Have you tried those old school marketing techniques for your network marketing business to no avail?  You know, the whole handing out flyers, setting up hotel meetings, 3-foot rule approach method, etc.


Having been in Network Marketing for several years, I was trained on these methods early and often.  I faithfully made my list of 50-100 people that I knew.  Next, I would call each and every one of them offering the ability to be a part of my team and earn some extra money with a home based business.

The majority of responses I received included being hung up on, accused of running a scam and other forms of rejection.

After I had gone through my entire list, my upline sponsors simply told me keep approaching the same people again, give out more flyers, find more strangers to talk to, on and on.

My business was floundering and I began to fall into the trap of saying that Network Marketing didn’t work.

But then I realized that my approach was all wrong.  Instead of just approaching random people, why not have the right people approach me?  By right people, I mean people that are interested in making extra money or want to start their own business.

See, part of the problem I was facing was trying to convince people that they COULD make extra money from home and have their own home based business.   Or, I also had to explain the benefits of Network Marketing to them and go against the negative mindset some have towards the industry.

So what did I do?  Quite simply, I just began to share information about my successes and failures in the industry.  By marketing my opportunity over the internet, I was able to present information for which people were already looking.  So now, people that were looking for ways to make money from home were contacting me.  Folks that were in Network Marketing but needed a change and wanted a sponsor that knew how to train and develop them, were calling me.

Once I stopped hounding people, I started to have people contact me for information on my opportunity.

Oh yeah, and those friends and family that I used to hound?  Yeah, some of them are now contacting me to find out what I’m doing as a business now.

Currently my team, which has helped over 75 people retire in the last 2.5 years is gearing up for a pre-launch of a new company.  We are looking for people that want to get involved early and have the potential to make $2-5000/month as an early adopter of of company.  If you want to work with a leader on a new venture that will be pre-launching soon, email me at kevin@kevincrawley.com

You may have never heard of Forex prior to today. If so, this article is the basics of Forex and will give you great info. Forex (really, Foreign Exchange) is simply trading currencies. The trading of currencies allows a business to exchange their domestic currency to a foreign one. As an example, a Japanese company will pay a US company for its products in American dollars, even though their currency is the Yen.

What used to be reserved for the ‘fat cats’, billionaires and high end bank executives, is now available to the average “Joe” from the comfort of his home. I know, I know…you have no clue about the foreign exchange. One of the interesting things about getting acquainted with the Forex is how there are an abundance of tutorials that are available all over, including on the internet.

Forex trading is very exciting for several reasons.

With Forex, there:
- Are no geographical barriers — As long as you have a good and solid internet connection, you can perform trades. On vacation, at Starbucks, you name it. If you can connect you can trade.

- Money while you sleep — With the exception of the weekends, the foreign exchange market is open and conducting transactions 24 hours a day. Compare that with the normal stock exchange (NYSE, NASDAQ, etc) which closes every afternoon, the Forex provides round the clock opportunities.

- Spontaneity of the market — The Forex is subject to change based upon several factors including, political unrest and upheaval, economic situations, natural disasters, etc.


- High Return on Investment opportunities — Low investments turning into large profit returns is part of the allure of the foreign currency market. More than any other market or exchange, the Forex is geared towards the use of leveraged assets.

Taking into account the fact that there are numerous factors that can affect the currency market, expert investors are looking to predict market changes continually. Many of the predictions often involve algorithms and other complex mathmateical equations. This is why many that are involved in the Forex market turn to innovative software that helps to manage the account.

When looking to invest in the Forex, it is imperative that you find a set of tools and system that works for you and stay consistent with it.

5 Tips for Network Marketing Success

Posted on 26-08-2009 | By: Kevin Crawley

We all want success.  Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to attain the success they desire.  Too often we spend days, weeks and months spinning our wheels trying to figure out how to make it happen.

In Network Marketing and MLM, why are some successful while others flounder?  What is it that the top money earners have that others do not?  Here is the thing…It’s not luck!   There are some very tried and true methods of creating success in the Network Marketing industry.

This list could be longer, but i want to give you 5 very quick tips for your success.

  1. Treat your business like a…business – This is not a get-rich-quick scheme.  Networking is a business.  Be disciplined about the time and effort you put towards your business.  If you don’t pay attention to your business…no one else will.  Plan your schedule each week to work solely on building your business.
  2. Stay focused – Don’t work on more than one business at a time.  Doing multiple businesses dilutes your marketing message.  And if you are working a home business part-time…how much success do you really expect from devoting a portion of your already limited spare time to 2-3 businesses.  Find the company, product, niche that fits you or you see the most potential in, and work it.
  3. Be coachable and teachable – Realize that you don’t know everything.  Actually enjoy that fact for a moment.  Find out who the leaders are in your company or industry and pick their brains.  Get their input AND FOLLOW IT.  Follow the successful people and do what they do.  If you want to learn how to make money in this industry, do what the top income earners do.  Your opinion or strategy doesn’t matter, because if it worked you would already be successful.
  4. Stay positive – Here’s a fact…you will hear the word “NO”.  You aren’t the first one to have heard it nor will you be the last.  The success comes in how you deal with it.  If you take the NO personally, then you will fail.  But if you realize the person saying NO, is simply saying it doesn’t work for THEM, that’s good!  Now just continue to work to find the people it does work for.
  5. Have Fun – I enjoy what I do.  Helping people, changing lives, training, etc.  In my time, I have been approached by one particular company at least 8 times.  They are probably a great company, but because it so closely mirrored the job that I had in banking which I hated, I won’t be with that company.  What I’m getting at is that you have to enjoy what you do.  It is not about the money.  A wise person and mentor once told me…”Help the people and have fun, the money will come.”

Success and Blessings,

Kevin
