First of all I want to congratulate you for taking the time to read this article. That tells me that you are wanting to learn more about the Network Marketing industry.

Let me give you some scary statistics right here in the beginning. You may have heard this before, but it is vital that you know this. The failure rate for the Network Marketing industry is 97%. That means that only 3% of Network Marketers are successful. This is the reality.

So why is it that only 3% of Network Marketers are making any money in this industry? Is it because they are smarter than you? Or is it because they have the magic code to make money? Well the answer is NO!!

This 3% of successful Network Marketers were in the 97% category at one time or another. The way they got out of this category is they found their personal solutions to the problems they were facing. If they were using Affiliate Marketing methods, and they were not achieving their desired results, they moved on to a more successful strategy that was working for them. The KEY to this is to be very ORGANIZED. You have to track your results on a consistent basis. One method I use to track all of my campaigns, is to use separate folders on my desktop. I have separate folders for each one of my campaigns. I update this on a daily basis, to see which one is working the best. When you find which one is working for you, just DUPLICATE your efforts in this specific area. It really is that simple.

So why does one person have massive success in Social Media Marketing, and the other person has no success at all in this area. There are (3) crucial elements that you need to have in order to be a successful Network Marketer. Your potential customers or prospects have to (1) KNOW, (2) LIKE, and (3) TRUST YOU. You must build relationships with your customers or prospects. How many times have you done business with someone because one of your friends suggested it.  For example, you go see Larry down at the Honda dealership. This has happened to me many times. You went there to do business with Larry because you already trusted him.

I recently had a friend tell me that the Network Marketing industry is like trying to open a combination lock. You keep spinning the lock trying to open it, but the lock won’t open. After several attempts, you get frustrated and throw the lock down. This is a lot like what Network Marketers go through when they feel like nothing is working for them. You feel like giving up or quitting, but DON”T.

After a few days of pondering your next move, you start to get to work. You start studying different Marketing methods, watching training videos, reading articles, joining Marketing forums, doing google searches………..

Now you have a better understanding of how the Network Marketing industry works. You are starting to feel CONFIDENT about the things you have learned. You BELIEVE in yourself. The lock is sitting there next to your computer. You pick up that lock with renewed energy and confidence, and start spinning that dial. First you spin to the right, than to the left, and finally back to the right! Your heart is pounding like like you have never felt before, and sweat is starting to drip from your forehead. You then take a deep breath and pull on the lock. An amazing thing happens at that moment, THE LOCK OPENS.

Congratulations! You are well on your way to explode your Network Marketing business, and join that elite 3% of successful Marketers.
