"Network Marketing Strategies That Work"
by Darlene Loebel

Dear Marketing Partner,

As I sit here looking at the proverbial blank page for this weeks Newsletter I find myself stymied by the angst of wanting to pen the exact formula to success in Network Marketing. Nothing short of that seems worth the effort of writing. I often find myself feeling the same way when I'm trying to write an Ad that will pull. It's all been done and done and done so what could I possibly do or write that has a chance of catching anyone's attention? It's all been done before.

And so even though I am a successful Network Marketer it seems an impossible task to impart a single exact recipe for success. What I can do is offer the strategies that have worked time and time again for me and have brought me the success that I experience. Because those strategies, when duplicated, are the ticket to success in this business.

Yes, it's all been done before. And that's exactly the point. The strategies that work in Network Marketing begin and end with DUPLICATION. And all things in between are DUPLICATION.

Those of you who know us and work with us know that we don't promote just SmartMall. SmartMall is one of our primary MLM Opportunities but it is not our only source of income. We are in several opportunities that provide leads, others that provide Autoresponders, and still others that provide training materials. We have a mix of opportunities that all work together to help us build up our Primary MLM Opportunity while producing multiple streams of income.

In addition we sell prospects for most of the programs we promote as well as generic prospects for customers who are promoting programs that we aren't involved in. And this is another source of income. Linda has written a very successful training course that is distributed for us by a large group of Affiliates. Two more sources of income.

We have a comprehensive training and support site for each of the programs that we promote as well as producing these Training Newsletters regularly. We also operate Mentor Programs to our downlines in all of the MLM Opportunities that we promote.

Most of you won't need to build the comprehensive MLM Training business that Linda and I have developed. But you will, in time, build multiple streams of income by building a business portfolio of opportunities that are complementary to your primary MLM Opportunities and that require only the duplication of your efforts to promote.

What do I mean by that? Take a look at what you're doing to promote SmartMall. You are purchasing prospects, following-up with those prospects via Autoresponders, and providing support to your growing downline to encourage upgrades and mentor your leaders.

Do you stop there? Do you just sit around biting your nails waiting for your SmartMall downline to take root and grow?

No. The smart Network Marketer, the successful Network Marketer, will multi-task while they are building their SmartMall downline and simultaneously build up multiple streams of income.

Linda talks about this in detail in her article "The Power Email Marketing/Multiple Income System for Heavy Hitters AND Those Who Want to Become One!" (http://www.mlmmillionaire.com/wfpower.htm). Many of you have adopted the strategies Linda outlined in this article and in fact people have even pirated the article itself and the concept and built entire competing businesses out of it. But that's a whole other article.

The point to consider here is that what we are promoting is a comprehensive portfolio of programs that all work together to build your Primary MLM Opportunity - SmartMall - and they work together in a way that does not involve additional work but rather a duplication of efforts.

Again consider what you are doing to build your SmartMall downline - you're buying leads, loading them into an Autoresponder with follow-up materials, and supporting your growing downline and mentoring your leaders. Can you duplicate that into other programs? In this day of computers you absolutely can, and as easily as ever.

In Linda's article she introduces the business portfolio of SmartMall as the Primary MLM Opportunity, Big Marketing as the Autoresponder program and Leader's Club as a lead generating program. The glory of this combination is that none of those programs compete with the other. Instead they complement a single Primary MLM Opportunity by providing the tools needed to promote that opportunity.

And promoting each is exactly the same for each of the three opportunities. You need prospects, you need follow-up materials and an Autoresponder to deliver them, and you need to support your growing downlines.

Do it once and you've done it a dozen times. And a dozen sources of income is the Holy Grail in Network Marketing.

Don't put all your eggs into one MLM Opportunity. In the long term a good MLM Opportunity will grow into a viable source of income because that's the nature of this business. Residual income and long term growth is equivalent to compound interest and compound interest takes TIME. The smart Network Marketer uses that time to develop multiple streams of income, enjoying the fruits of this work in the here and now as well as the long term.

Duplication and multiple streams of income, those are the strategies that work in Network Marketing. That can't be said too many times or in too many ways. It's the be all and the end all of this business.

And I thought I couldn't write the exact formula for success.

To your success.
