MLM Tips: Seed Planting in Your MLM Network Marketing Business

An effective gardener knows that planting just one seed in a field of fertile soil is not going to be enough, especially if they are making a substantial living off of their crops.  On the contrary, an effective gardener is well aware of the fact that he or she will need to plant as many seeds as possible within the plant of land in order to make sure that they have a flourishing harvest over time.  The same principle applies to the garden of MLM Network Marketing as well.  How so?


More Than Just One Seed
There are too many people that are currently working within the world of MLM that base their businesses on one particular marketing seed.  They may have been able to experience a significant amount of success by simply focusing on one particular method of marketing in the past and refuse to try anything differently.  Well, those particular professionals are just like the gardener that decides to plant a single seed in a field.  Even though that one seed may grow into a massive tree, you will still be selling yourself short because there is still a massive amount of space in which you can still grow your business.

 The Advantages of Social Media
The digital age and advanced technology has made it much easier to communicate and stay connected with people today than ten years ago.  Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, have been able to captivate the attention and engagement of hundreds of millions of people around the world.  If you are interested in maximizing exposure and your overall growth potential within your MLM organization, then you need to be planting seeds within the world of social media as well.

The Value of Follow-Up
Do not become one of the MLM gardeners that plant a lot of seeds but never return to follow through with them.  If a traditional gardener never watered the seeds that they planted, what will be the end result?  Will they have a flourishing harvest?  Of course not! Make sure that you are maintaining a detailed record of the seeds that you plant and closely monitor their growth in order to make sure that your efforts and resources are not being wasted.  Follow up on your marketing seeds to make sure that they are growing beautifully and bountifully over time as they should, making any necessary adjustments accordingly.

Consistency is Key
Never forget about the value of consistency when it comes to growing your MLM business.  Just because you planted a lot of seeds today do not necessarily mean that you can stop marketing tomorrow.  You cannot become a hit-and-miss MLM gardener and expect the crop of your organization to flourish over time; this just does not make any sense whatsoever. Do your very best to stay consistent, planting as many seeds as you can in as many different areas of your fertile field as possible in order to create the biggest harvest. Doing so is the key to your long-term success.
 It's your turn!

POWER OF NETWORK

The Power of Networking:

Networking has long been recognized as a powerful tool for business people and professionals.  Knowing more people gives you greater access, facilitates the sharing of information, and makes it easier to influence others for the simple reason that influencing people you know is easier than influencing strangers.  The creators of LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter have built their empires on the presumption that their social networking tools help people build their networks and remain better connected than ever.  Does it follow, then, that social networks, by making connectivity easier, make leaders more powerful?

The answer is no.  Clearly, social networks allow you learn about other people you might never have known of otherwise.  On LinkedIn, you can build awareness of your products or services, join groups of people with similar interests, search for job opportunities, or look for people who might be qualified to fill a position in your company.  And Facebook enables you to find long-lost classmates or share with friends what you liked about a new film, what you saw during your trip to Venice, or what you ate for breakfast.
But these benefits of social networking, while valuable to some degree depending on how robustly you use these networks, miss the essence of what makes networking such a powerful tool for leaders and other highly influential people.  The research on power and influence shows that people who are well networked are three times more influential than people who aren’t.  But their power is based on the social capital they have developed in building relationships with the people in their network—and you can’t build sufficient capital with people by merely “friending” them on Facebook or accepting an invitation to connect on LinkedIn.
Network power depends on how strong your relationships are, on how much attention you command when you engage people in your network, and on how attractive you are as a member of other peoples’ networks.  If you are known as a source of deep expertise, for instance, and people can rely on you for expert solutions or creative ideas, you will be a more attractive network partner than someone who lacks that expertise.  If you know other powerful people and can access them whenever you need to, you will be a more attractive network partner.  Similarly, if you are in a position of authority in your organization and can make things happen, you will be a more valued network partner.  Finally, you will have more power in your network with the people you know best—with long-time colleagues, close friends, and others with whom you have developed mutual trust and respect. 
It may be possible to build those kinds of relationships with people you meet on social networks, but it’s unlikely unless you sustain contact with them over an extended period, have meaningful exchanges with them, disclose a lot about yourself and learn much about them, and build the kind of trusting relationships that normally occur when you have worked with someone successfully over a period of time. 
I have more than 500 connections on LinkedIn.  At least two-thirds of those connections are with people who asked to be connected with me and whom I’ve accepted even though I’ve never met them.  They might have been friends of friends or colleagues in my company whom I’ve spoken to on the phone but don’t know well.  Or they might be people who have read my profile and thought it would be useful to them to be connected to me.  In all these cases, my power with these people is limited by the fact that I have relatively little genuine social capital with them (and vice versa). 
Networking can be a powerful tool.  It can enhance your ability to lead and influence other people—but only when the people in your network value being connected with you—and value you for more just being just one of the hundreds of people in their network.  The power of networking lies in how well they know you, how much they trust you, how much they gain from having you in their network, how frequently you communicate with them, and how many other powerful people there are in your network. 
Social networks like LinkedIn are useful, but they are no substitute for direct personal connections and the kind of history you develop with people when they have known you for a long time, when they have learned to trust you, and when they have come to value the relationship.

10 reasons why you should join Network Marketing



1) Leadership ability

Leadership is too important because If you want to improve tour status and promote yourself to the highest level, you need to build a leadership quality into yourself. It is too important to enhance the level of the team and increase the performance of a team.
Network Marketing helps you to build the Leadership quality in yourself.
If you want to start the business and startup, leadership will help you build the perfect team with highly motivated people.

2) Public Speaking

This is the most important part of the 10 reasons why you should join Network Marketing.
In the 21st century, public speaking is very important to represent yourself in front of a lot of people. Fear of public speaking is 2nd biggest fear on the Earth. It doesn’t to which fields you belong, Public speaking is required in every field.
As a network marketer, you can go on the stage every day and easily overcome the fear of public speaking. I have seen a lot of people are spending lakhs of rupees to improving the public speaking. But In Marketing, you can easily learn the public speaking, and become a champion in the public speaking.

3) Ability to work in a team

When you are in a job, you cannot work in Team and cannot grow to the optimum level. If you join the network marketing company, here you have an opportunity to make your own Team and build your network, so according to your network, you will earn money. If your network is large, then you will earn a huge amount of money. And If you have not a skill to work in the team, so definitely You have joined the Network Marketing company to build these skills.

4) Communication skills

Communication skills are the main part of your life because it matters a lot, what are you saying. Your communication way defines your overall personality and behavior. I have met a lot of people in the past few days, they have not communication skills, and did not select for the interviews. And after that this scenario,  I have realized that communication skills are too important in the whole life. And Then I joined a network marketing company.
Network Marketing company develop communication skills.

5) Personality transformation

Your good personality is telling about your genuine and trustability to the other person. When you join the network marketing company, you will learn the following things:
  • how to do perfect dress up.
  •  How to talk to other people.
  • The way to walk
  • the way you go on stage.
  • You will learn the ability to listen to the NO.
  • Your positive attitude will be increased.
  • The way to handle rejection.
  • Time management skills.
My dear friends any college and schools will be not taught you about these above skills, But NETWORK MARKETING will be taught you in the practical life.

6) The business of The 21st Century

At this time when companies are laying off workers, Government owing salaries, contractors owed for jobs already executed,
banks no longer giving loans, Network marketing has continued to make millionaires on a daily basis. People who decide when and how to work and still make money from their little efforts. No wonder why one of the World’s wealthiest men Robert Kiyosaki calls it ‘the business of the 21st century’

7) Low Entry Fee

One reason why you should consider Network Marketing is because you do not have to break a bank to start it and you still have an opportunity of earning well. Many legitimate MLM companies I know requires just little startup fees and in most
cases this fee is paid just once (one-time). For example, Alliance in Motion Global Nigeria requires you to purchase product pack worth N38,000 to become a life member, Helping Hands International is just N6,600, while Swiss golden is about N46,000 etc. While there are options of registering multiple accounts, you can start with a single account and still earn well depending on your passion and work put in.
This is a major point benefit of the 10 reasons why you should join Network Marketing

8) Helps you raise the other Investments

It is a common knowledge that If you want to start any business, you need to invest money in the business. Suppose that you want to do a business of electronic equipment, boutique or fast food business. For that, you have to invest money in the business, and if you have not enough money to invest in the business.
Join the network marketing company, can be the fastest ways to raise the money to be needed to invest in the other business.
In India, there is the trend to start a business in the low investment, so once you earn a few thousands of rupees, so you can start your b own business, and can be invested into the other business.
Friends this is the powerful benefit of Network Marketing Company.

9) opportunity to help others

The major reason many people fail in MLM is that they want to climb to the top at the
expense of their downlines; this is a very wrong approach and accounts for why many people do not go far in this industry.
Network Marketing is more of a service than a business, it is more about helping others than making money. When you have this mentality, you will build a stronger team where everyone succeeds and makes money and being the team
leader, you make even more money; this is what we call the “Principle of Duplication” in MLM. When you duplicate, teaching your team the same strategies you use to succeed, they make money and you leveraging on everyone’s effort to make more money. Many people make the mistake of thinking that MLM business is for poor struggling fellows trying to survive, this is very very VERY wrong.
Robert Kiyosaki in one of his presentations told the audience how surprised he was to know that his Real Estate made Billionaire friend decided to join Network Marketing even as a Billionaire and when he approached him, he simply told him it is an opportunity for him to help others make money because when they do they can then invest into real estate.

10) It Can Be Done Part-Time

This is a last but the least point of the 10 reasons why you should join Network Marketing
The Network Marketing industry is the only industry in the world where you choose WHERE, WHEN and HOW to work. Unlike many
other industries, you do not have the right to decide when and how to do your job. Your Boss/company tells you when you
should resume the office and in most cases when you should leave the office as well. As a banker, my normal office
resumption time is 8:30 am meaning I should be in the office by that time but sometimes we will be required to be at the
office as early as 8:00 am when we have morning briefings/training. What am I trying to point out here? Whether as a banker,
government, onshore or offshore worker, you do not have total control of your time but Network Marketing business is so flexible that you can be on your full-time day job and still do well in it.
