You Can't Wimp Your Way To Wealth
You Can't Wimp Your Way To Wealth
By Greg Arnold
Let's get real, you can't really expect to get wealthy acting passively. The Internet won't make you wealthy if you expect to slide by without developing the skills to win with it. There aren't really any turnkey Internet wealth systems. In fact the guys who make turnkey systems up, work darned hard to come up with the proper ad to make you think there's something for nothing out there, and you can have it for only $397.00!
Don't plan on getting rich off of some Internet based MLM system either. You aren't going to be able to send out a few thousand leads and get wealthy from it. I don't care how good those lead guys ads sound! If you have to pay $25 per month to participate in a web-based mlm building system, chances are you'd be better off paying a person a month $25 to join you.
So why won't the Internet work for you? Believe it or not, it isn't because you can't make money on the Internet. It's because YOU don't like to work! MLM is about relationships. People have to be able to buy you before they buy your deal! If you are hiding behind a webpage and thinking that it will do all the work for you... Buzzzzzz... you're wrong!
What do I do Greg?
I am so glad you asked. First, grow up! This is a dadgummed business. You have to be willing to invest time in developing skills and in prospecting. Which, by the way, if you spend a bunch of time prospecting, you will develop skills! You also need to invest some money in your business. Yes, get on autoship. That is called using your own products and being a good leader. Leadership is everything. Why would anyone want to follow you is you aren't going to LEAD them. Invest in training tools and seminars... these help you develop fresh ideas. Seminars are good places to network. Invest in advertising every month. In advertising consistency and persistency pays off. NEVER stop advertising.
Talk to people. It's ok to make initial contacts over the internet but you have to move that conversation to the telephone right away. Again, people buy you first, you have to connect with them. You have to get to the point where you like the twinkle in each other's eyes. Did I mention you have to grow up? Stop complaining every time something goes wrong. You will get paid the big bux to move forward, seek out the challenges, find solutions, and move forward again! The more you follow that path the more successful you will have the opportunity to be. Also, success doesn't happen overnight. Get real in your expectations. Expect to win but expect to pay the price of success first.
Get your name out there. Write a few articles and submit them to the 100's of online publications out there. They all give you bio space at the bottom and a link to your website. Get seen. There are a billion people on the Internet now... make them notice you and then get them on the telephone. BTW... Skype is free. If you are building your business worldwide... sign up for it. http://www.skype.com it's owned by Ebay. Get yourself listed in Who's Who In MLM (http://www.whoswhoinmlm.com ) they are a small investment for what you get (only $49.97 yr). Be sure to apply, they accept almost everyone, outside of criminals and MLM bashers. You get to put one of their "Biography Listed In Who's Who In MLM" logos on your website. This will be worth some good credibility points to your prospects.
If I seem hard on you, maybe it is time that someone was and told you like it is. The sooner you come to grips with the reality of the business, the sooner you can get rich from it! AND...you CAN get rich from this business. ANYONE CAN! You just have to be willing to do what it takes. Start by getting listed in Who's Who in MLM and sharing that with your prospects also by getting a free Skype account. It is time to start winning!
