TrafficWave - OceanSwell TEAM Update (#17)

'How do the Internet Marketing Pro's earn a full-time living online?' 'What do they know that I don't know?' 'What am I doing wrong?' How to network market correctly (and profitably) is the question that most new and not-so-new marketers begin asking sooner or later. If you are a part of Team OceanSwell, then you alreadly belong to an advertising co-op for TrafficWave and/or Global NPN. That's a good place to begin! Our co-op is great because it's always going to be there working for you in one way or another. But to build full-time incomes with your basis being TrafficWave or Global NPN, it's going to take more than that.  But this is where so many get stuck on what to do next, and they end up wasting a lot of time or just giving up in frustration.

First and foremost, you need your own website (one like this one, for example) and you must master the methods of driving traffic to it and getting conversions from those who visit it. That's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - traffic & conversions. But how do the pro's do it, you ask? For the most part, they will tell you what you already know via the selling of courses, eBooks, tools and systems that explain what it takes to make it in this business of network marketing. But what many of them do not share is even more important - i.e. they'll tell you what you know, but they won't tell you what they know.

So what ends up happening is that we end up on this endless hamster-wheel of searching, and searching and searching for the answers.  But guess what?  The secret to that elusive pot of gold is right in front of you.  To discover the root of the problem, you need only to look at the person in the mirror.  That's right... the problem is you!  It's not that there's anything 'wrong' with you.  You're fine!  The problem is that you aren't concentrating your effort on the right activities.

We live in an ever-increasing, 24 hour information age.  We are bombarded with a blizzard of messages on a daily basis and it is so easy to get distracted. We have the constant emails (often by the hundreds!), Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and all the other social media sites. Not to mention the web surfing so many of us find ourselves doing on a daily bases. These are all wonderful tools when used to complete a task or goal, but too often we are sucked into to these activities that play no part in our ultimate business goals for that day.

So the smartest thing you can do for yourself is to just STOP. Stop the hours of useless activities that add no value to your business. How to network market like a pro is all about staying focused on the activities that bring results into your business. Yes, we need to use all these tools.  But use them with caution, as they will distract you and get you side tracked in a blink of the eye. Sounds too simple I know, but take a look at your entire day. I bet you will be surprised if you take note of all the time that was wasted.  It is no wonder that so many people are asking how to do Network Marketing the 'right' way.

The easiest way to stay focused is limit the amount of useless time you spend in email, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Keep it to one time a day, and set that time on your daily calendar - and limit it to a small amount of time. Now don’t get me wrong, each of these tools have great importance and the capacity to do great things in your overall marketing approach. The point is, however, that many new marketers get so distracted and go off in tangents and lose track of what they were originally trying to accomplish in the first place.  Then they give up in frustration and cry, "This doesn't work!  It's all a scam!"

New marketers are so easily distracted with the abundance of information that they can barely breathe. The key is to pick two or three methods of marketing and stick with those methods and become an expert with those. Don’t get sucked into buying eBook after eBook, course after course, seminar after seminar. These are all great in moderation, but you need to do something at some point. If YouTube marketing (for example) is your method of choice, great.  Just don’t get distracted with hours of pointless activities. This is your business, not social entertainment. And yes. this will take time to learn and master.  But if you are focused, you will find the success that has eluded you up until now. This is how to network market like a pro, simply stay focused on your business and the activities that grow your business and, of course... do NOT quit.

If you've read this far, I congratulate you.  Make it your mission in October to master just one thing:  YouTube marketing, Social Bookmarking, building a great new Autoresponder letter series or what have you.  In fact, I would concentrate on that one thing for the rest of the year.  When you get good at something - I mean really good at it - then you are a Pro!
