Are putting yourself and your family at unnecessary risk?
Have a READ OF THIS and decide for yourself.
WARNING: This is a looonnngggg post but well worth the read.
So…
If you’re building a network marketing business of any kind and your using the internet to do it…
Please make sure you set your business up in such a way that protects YOU and your family for the future.
(I’ll explain what I mean in just a minute).
See, in the past (before the internet) network marketing was a very secure business model.
Nobody knew any different.
There were only a handful of big companies around, and you stuck to the opportunity you knew.
Now, since the internet… there’s so much more choice.
New companies popping up every single day.
Tons of established companies closing down.
Arguments amongst distributors and in-fighting within teams.
Negativity around the industry from the outside.
And it’s becoming a less secure business model every single day.
You spend years building up a team and within a few weeks it could fall apart.
Leaders might leave…
Team members might quit…
The company might kick you out for violating policies and procedures…
Or the company might CLOSE DOWN.
I’ve seen it happen time, and time again.
And if you’ve put all your eggs in the one basket, and have only been talking about that one company on your social media profiles etc without building your own brand, community and email list…
Then you may be left with nothing.
Now, don’t get me wrong…
Network marketing is an incredibly powerful business model, and will continue to be for many, many years to come.
There’s a lot of people making a lot of money and it gives the average person a chance to change their life.
But…
With all the uncertainty around the industry, companies coming and going, in-fighting amongst teams, law suits left, right and center…
It’s time for YOU to look out for you and your family first.
And unfortunately when some of the problems I’ve mentioned above happen, it’s the little guy or gal who suffers the most.
The newbie who just got started…
The distributor with 30-50 customers.
Or the new leader who’s built a team of a few hundred or maybe thousand people…
And they depend and rely on that income.
They followed the system, the listened to their upline, they started getting results and BOOM…
It’s gone.
Back to square one.
Now, I know this post sounds like I’m scaremongering… but I’m really not.
It happens.
And the big leaders and people who’ve been in the industry for long enough know this.
And they are, for the most part, protected.
If they lose their teams, yes they lose a lot of income, but they often don’t lose their entire businesses.
They still have other income streams coming in.
They still have a thriving personal brand and email list and they can just switch their opportunity on the backend and most people won’t have a clue.
See, they’re the ones who’ve set up their business the right way, by sharing their personality and personal brand first and leading people to their business opportunity second.
They educate, entertain and inspire others…
And as a result they attract an audience of people who know, like and trust them.
They don’t plaster their social media profiles with links and constantly shout about their products and opportunity on the front end.
Yes, they may mention it sometimes… but they don’t just promote, promote, promote…
Because they know that when you attract people to you with the content you create and the conversations you have…
People get to LIKE YOU for being you.
And some of those people will be looking for exactly what you’ve got…
And some won’t.
And that’s OK.
It also means that you have the opportunity to monetize your business in many different ways.
Multiple streams of income. (Depending on your companies policies and procedures).
- Affiliate Marketing
- Digital Courses
- Coaching (Group and/or 1-2-1)
- Done for You Services
- And more
And if you look at a lot of the top leaders… (I call these successful entrepreneurs “The Networking Superstars” BTW)
They all BRAND THEMSELVES first.
They all lead with value first.
Many of them have their own courses and trainings.
Many of them make money by recommending other products and services (which do not compete with their primary opportunity),
Many of them offer coaching.
So, if they lose their network marketing income… they’ve still got an income and a business.
They’re still going to be self sufficient.
Yes, their lifestyle might change for a while… but it won’t take long before they are back again where they left off…
Maybe with a different company…
Or maybe focusing more on the affiliate marketing, coaching or course creation.
Just look around and you’ll see it.
The top leaders don’t promote, promote, promote all over social media.
They educate, entertain and inspire others with their content.
They build long term relationships.
They brand themselves first, and everything else happens on the backend.
And if you want to weather the fore-coming storms then that’s what you need to do also.
This will allow you to STAY IN THE GAME.
To play another day.
To rise up, stand out and thrive online.
It’s time for you to show everyone that you can absolutely 100% do this!
To prove to all the naysayers and those who may have laughed at you behind your back for trying to escape the rat race and build the life of your dreams.
To impact and influence more people.
And to become the being you were born to be.
Remember, this is your journey. It’s your journey to freedom and I’m with you every step of the way.
