This beginners guide to Network Marketing also includes MLM and can include affiliate marketing. It will show you a formula or system that you absolutely must follow to be successful in Network Marketing.

Key elements in every successful online Network marketing system :-

• Adverts - If you do not advertise nothing will happen - Nobody will find your business!
• Lead capture page - A web page with a headline or a list of bullet points or video that convey the message of what the benefits of your product or system are. Then there is an opt-in box for the lead to enter their details - They are saying to you "Hey I'm interested tell me more about this."
• Direct Sales page - Create a problem for somebody agitate the problem and then solve it buy buying the product.
• Auto responder and email list. - A system that sends out emails to your list automatically after they have opted in. So important because it starts the process of the lead getting to know you.

Place adverts all over the place as many as you can - when I say advert I mean anywhere that you put a link to your lead capture page that somebody can click on.

People see your advert and some of them click the link to your lead capture page.

The Lead capture page tells the customer the benefits of what you are trying to give/sell them and asks for their details including email address.

Some people enter their details (They are now a captured lead) and some people move away from the page (they may come back).

Those that enter their details are taken directly to your Direct sales page where they are shown a common problem like - "do you think that your Network Marketing business would grow faster if you had an endless supply of new leads?" and then given the solution - Join this programme and we will show you how. It is an important elemet of your direct sales page to have an incentive to buy the product now - ie a once only offer or a bonus etc. If the product is brought within the next ½ hour.

At this point some people will buy into your programme and some will not. Either way you have them as a captured lead until they decide to remove themselves from your mailing list - Which you should now own.

So what happens next is the autoresponder takes over and starts sending messages out to your list on autopilot - It takes us an average of 7 times to see something before we buy it so to type these messages and send them individually would be really time consuming.

Some more people will buy the product after they have received some of your emails and some will not but they remain on your list.

Now it is important to be communicating with your list so you can start to build a relationship with them. This will help them to get to know you and see your value.

What I mean by value is what they will learn from you as if they buy from you then you will be their upline and should then be teaching them how to be successful. So you need to be sharing with your list what you are doing and if it is working - Also this can include products that you have purchased and that help you in your own advertising - For most products you can become an affiliate and earn commissions for any sales that you make - Make sure that you are happy with the product ie It does what it says - Is simple to use - A good price etc Basically make sure that you think it's the best on the market before you offer it to your list because if somebody from your list buys the product on your recommendation and does not like it then you have just lost some credibility.

If you do this correctly you can be helping people on your list whilst adding vale to yourself and earning good money in the process. This can be done time and time again - Not everybody on your list will buy every product but they will hopefully buy the products that are right for them.

That's where the saying "The money is in the list" comes from. If you really understand this you should be really exited because the possibilities are huge!

For somebody just starting in Network Marketing I would also suggest that you do not invest in a high end product with a high commission payout at first.

I would recommend that you have a lower value product to start with - even an information product such as an ebook that sells for $39.95 - The point is to get people onto your list. You can always buy into a more expensive product at a later time and market the product to your list at that time.

Use your budget on low cost advertising to grow your list and to add value to yourself with knowledge and products - Get some leads and build your list and make some low value sales and get yourself into a position where you are breaking even with your Network Marketing Business before you buy into a high end product.

This way you reduce the risks involved and stand a much better chance of success because you are not putting you under as much pressure - You can evolve at a more natural rate for you.

In order to be really successful you need to be able to show your value to your list so that they know when they buy a product from you you are willing and able to help them to make sales and duplicate - Once you are in that position you have it all sorted out.

Because this business is all about duplication you need to join somebody who can help you to duplicate - you need an upline that resonates with you and who has the knowledge and ability and the time to show you how to duplicate.

Before you buy a product think about the whole process above and see if it ticks all the boxes - Work on the presumption that if you like something then the people that you attract will also like it because you will without realising it attract people that are like you.

There is one last but important thing that you should look for in your product and that is to see who does the product or system brand. What I mean by this is who is on the Lead Capture Page and The Direct Sales Page and who do the Autoresponder Emails come from? - If the answer is not you then you will be advertising somebody else by placing all of your adverts.

When somebody comes to any part of your product or system you want the communication to come from you.

You can of course take a product design your own Lead Capture Page and Direct Sales Page and set up an autoresponder and there are loads of products available to help you do this however if you are just starting your efforts would be much better spent on advertising and getting more traffic to your Lead Capture Page. There are products and systems that will brand all of the system from you already and that allows you to spend your time in the most productive way rather than Designing Web pages and testing them to check conversion rates.

Network Marketing is an amazing opportunity - Yes for most people it is hard work at first for little return but once your list grows your knowledge grows your reputation grows and your value and attractiveness grows earning a residual income from home and taking advantage of those fantastic compensation plans suddenly becomes easy - People will want to join you!
