How Web 2.0 is changing the face of Network marketing

Network Marketing thus far has been teaching us how to market our business with techniques which are becoming obsolete such as how we prospect new business builders and product customers. These methods could actually be hurting any chances of success in your business.

Unfortunately the fact in this industry is that 97% of Network Marketers never make any money in their business. It has nothing to do with Network Marketing itself but it is the way that Network Marketing is taught. We are taught to first make a list of all our friends and family, talk to anyone who has a pulse who is within 3 feet of us (the three foot rule) Place drop cards everywhere we go and lets not forget the bazillion leads you have to purchase.

Buying the leads is one thing, but picking up the phone and calling each one of those leads is another. I would say for the most part that at least 1/2 of the leads I called didn't have a clue what I was calling them about. (Gee hmmm, I thought these leads were from people looking for a home based business?) Then the other half didn't have two nickels to rub together nor did they have any idea what it would take to own and operate their own home based business

In my quest to own my own Internet Network Marketing business,(I was extremely coachable and teachable). I watched a handful of people in my company becoming very successful. I tried to pay close attention to what they were doing. I felt I could go to school on them and hopefully start seeing the same success. I worked on myself, my "WHY", read all of the self improvement books, went to every company training, every event, spent thousands of dollars.

However, after doing all the things I was told to do and sinking an inordinate amount of money into my Network Marketing endeavor, I was still not seeing the success that I knew I deserved and wanted. I knew deep down that there was something missing but just couldn't put my finger on it.

I began my search for that ‘missing link'. I knew that I knew there was a way and I was determined to find it. I stumbled upon this little E-book titled "The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing". From the downloading of that E-book it has all turned around for me. As I read this E-book, Ann Sieg, the author of the 7 Lies was actually writing about ME - this was MY story!! I knew right then I was on the right track. Ann spoke right into my situation and I knew she had ‘nailed' my exact situation.

After finishing the E-book I then found that she had another E-book called "The Renegade Network Marketer". It wasn't long that I found myself completely immersed and was eating up every thought.

Since coming upon these great resources I have now started with the Renegade University. Mike Klingler who started this University called the "Marketing Merge" takes you click by click through video tutorials to educate and help those of us who are new to this alternative method of Network Marketing, Social Marketing, Web 2.0, Attraction Marketing. Mike makes the process of learning all of this so easy. He will help you to be up and running in no time.

I was about to give up on Network Marketing all together but thanks to Ann Sieg of the Network Marketer and Mike Klingler of Marketing Merge, my faith has been restored.

If you are not finding the success that you feel you deserve with your Network Marketing business do yourself a favor and check out these resources. You can go through the University with Mike Klingler for free then if you wish to get deeper into more advanced marketing training you can join the professional level when you are ready.

I wish you great success!
