You chose the company because the product is awesome and the killer comp plan is going to make you wealthier than Midas! You heard that the marketing on the internet can give you a tremendous amount of leverage to build your business, but you don’t have a clue as to how to get to started. Your upline does not have a clue either, so how do you begin to put the pieces of the puzzle together?

Here are 5 simple things to help you get started:

  1. Register a domain name .  There are many domain registers, but a lot of people like Go Daddy. The big question for most people is, how do you pick a domain name? One method that I like with Go Daddy is to first do a massive brainstorming session and  put all the possible names into Notepad. Then use Go Daddy’s bulk register feature to see what is available.  Be sure to setup your e-mail for your the new domain you just purchased.  It is a lot more professional to use an e-mail address that says yourname@your-domain.com than one from Yahoo or Gmail.  That helps establish your branding, something that we can cover later.
  2. Start doing some reading.  There is a ton of information out there and you will never get it all.  However, one of the best resources that you can start with is free.  If you have not yet done so, pick up your free copy of Anne Sieg’s “7 Great Lies of Network Marketing“.
  3. Get around some good people.  If this is not your first foray into the world of network marketing you know that back in the old days if you did not get your infomation from your upline or the company, it was rejected.  People were kept pretty insulated from the outside world as far as marketing goes.  Well this is truly now the information age.  People from other companies are sharing information on what works best.  One of the best places I have found to get this is a site called Better Networker.  Go over there and join the forums.
  4. Get on Facebook.  Did you know that the fastest growing demographic for Facebook is 35-54 year olds?  Right, behind them are the 55+ year olds.  I don’t care whether you are old or young, Facebook has become a prime meeting spot and it is essential to be a part of it if you want to develop an online prescence.  Once you join, start joining some of the groups on there related to network marketing.  You will find them when you do a “Group” search.
  5. I saved the most important thing to do for last.   Invest in yourself and get some online training.  I recommend Renegade Professional.  It’s $49/mo.  The first month there is no questions asked money back guarantee so that you can try it without any risk.  Believe me, the value of the information that you receive is worth well over $49 because it will save you a lot of headaches.  You can use this link.

This list is just a starter list.  However, if you have any problems with any of the steps send me a  private e-mail and I will see if I can be of some assistance to you.
