Why Internet Network Marketing

Welcome to my internet MLM victory blog. This blog is set up to share my experiences with internet network marketing and to post my articles.

A little history of my experience with this topic. Last year about this time I was introduced to a tool using the internet to grow my network marketing business. It was an incredible idea so I wanted to look into it more but I waited until around the first of the year because I was busy with my life and traveling. The next six months were filled with learning about using the internet by using a system. This particular system taught me a ton of information but it pulled me from my main focus, my primary business. I remember feeling overwhelmed and distracted all the time. With the system I learned about advertising online and was able to sign up over 50 members in the system (this was a great victory for me). You can see below that I was also able to write two articles on internet marketing and post them on a blog. The issue with these victories was that none of the 50 members that were coming in were following in my footsteps and utilizing the system. This made me question the usability and duplicability of the system. As I struggled for six months to put this system to work I started thinking about my members. Obviously none of them were applying the system but if they did would they stick it out struggling for six months like I was. In my head I knew if I stuck it out long enough it would work. But did I want to keep doing the same thing over again expecting different results? I think that is called insanity:)

My next step was I just stopped. I stopped doing any kind of marketing or business activites. I was really struggling and was questioning if the struggle was worth it. Prior to the year of internet network marketing I had great victories in my primary business. I earned an incentive that only the top 50 enrollers could win. My checks were about five to six times more per month and I was having fun. This year I felt like it was a constant struggle trying to learn, spending way more money with this internet system and so on.

During my time off I came to some great conclusions.
* If I did not change what I was doing I would have to work at my job until I was 65 or 70. That seems like a life sentence.
* My dream is financial freedom and network marketing was the tool I wanted to use to achieve that goal.
* I am in love with my primary business and I want to share it with the world to help people, so I must focus on it.
* I want to use the internet to grow a business because it reaches out to every corner of the world.
* I needed a new system utilizing the internet as a prospecting tool.

While I took the summer off from all business activities I was still receiving a newsletter from an internet network marketer Daegen Smith. It always baffled me that when I needed to hear something there it was in his newsletter. To be completely honest I looked forward to reading his emails. He was so focused on writing about internet network marketing. That is just what I wanted to do. I clicked on his ad for his ebook many times always holding back because I didn't want to spend more money on something that didn't work. It was in September that I realized that I needed this information and I wanted it so I took the dive. Now I am in application mode and it feels good to be back in business. His blueprint for success is a nuts and bolts guide and it is filled with tons of information. It is broke down in simple and easy steps that are not so overwhelming or distracting. My focus on my primary business is growing while applying this system. It is going to be an incredible year!

Stay tuned with me on my journey to internet MLM victory!
