Let me ask you a question?



Would you hand out $1 if you knew that you would get $4 back in return?

If you have any type of common sense, your answer would be yes. But yet most network marketers, when faced with this dilemma in real life almost always do the opposite—Let me tell you what I'm talking about.

It amazes me how common people join MLM systems for as small as $10 a month, to as much as $10,000 for some, but when suggest to put aside some $$$ to actually advertise their businesses, they run a mile, what’s even crazier, is that these same people are the ones who want to scream that MLM does not work or drag guru's names through the dirt because they not able to do what was needed to grow their MLM business.

And what’s completely mad is that a short time after, these guys join another opportunity and repeat the process they did before… And the process continues.

Over and over again, as hard as they try, they can't make online businesses work.

You wanna know what the key to success in online MLM truly is? Do you really absolutely want to know how to succeed?

Well here is the answer– find a clever automated system, and promote it to the right marketing sources. You keep a record of marketing, toss what doesn’t, and keep what works. It’s that simple.

But it will never work without following the entire blueprint. Without all the parts, you will fail. So, once, again, to succeed in online MLM you will need an automated system that converts sign-ups and enables you to follow up with your downline on autopilot and you need to ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE!!

Now why do I stress advertising so much?

You have probably heard time and time again, that the people are the lifeblood of your MLM opportunity. The more people you converse with, the greater your chances of not failing. This is true for any business. MLM is no different.

Now the great thing about being online) is that it can put you in front of as many people as you can handle, and it can do much more. It can put your business in front of leads who actually want to become part of your company. How about that for an advantage?

So where do you start?

Well, for any automated system you are going to have to spend some time and/or money. If you don’t have a lot of cash, then you will have to use more time getting the results you desire. If you have cash, you can get the results in less time because you can leverage your time by paying someone else to do all the work for you. Online MLM is no different.

So just to recap, in order for you to make money in online MLM marketing you have to either…

1. Use the paid method: Pay for advertising and spend 1-4 hours per week tracking your results and twiquing your campaign.

2. Use the free system: Spend 20-60 hours per week with SEO, blogging, Web 2.0, forum marketing, and article marketing to get people to visit your capture page.

3. Spend about 10-15 hours per week doing some of both.

To be honest I prefer the third option and if you want to be a guru you should be too, but if I had 1 to pick for excellent responses in the speediest amount of time, I would definitely choose use the paid system. I admire paid advertising because it’s like working on autopilot. I don’t really have to do much to get it, and it gives me a chance to really test my Ad copy before I spend a lot of time on SEO out it won’t work.

Now, I’m not speaking to marketers who are in fact working hard with no effort, and you don't know where to go next because there is no one who can help you. For those guys, I hope this article will be able to give you what you need. I am talking to those who just sign-up because they are searching for the next great thing—even though they may have all they need to succeed in MLM marketing.

So if you’re in a exceptional opportunity with a exceptional automated system, but you’re not doing much to promote your company, here’s my counsel. Stop running and start advertising. If you have successful uplines who are accessible, ask them what they did to get where they are and do it. You will be shocked at the results you can achieve.
