It wasn’t long ago that I was really really hungry, I mean the kind of hungry where you forget you’re  hungry. I was starving to death. Not for food or love or shelter or even money. Although we can always have more of these things. I was starving for marketing ideas. My business was suffering from a case of anorexia coupled with anemia in a lead generation sort of way. I lacked real methods to promote, develop and expose my business system for the longest time. Having been in traditional network marketing for almost a decade, I had the fortune of training some of the top entrepreneurs both locally and nationally. I also spoke to crowds of thousands in coliseums in the U.S. While proud of that, what I regretted was the many years of lost time, income and brand exposure due to one missing ingredient. The joke was that the missing ingredient was starring me in the face and I didn’t even realize. Not unlike most who have tasted the excitement and allure of the network marketing model from your past; the thrill of the dream suddenly became a  drone of uplines saying: “all you need to do, just make a list of names,call your family and friends, prospect in shopping malls, and hand out your cards at coffee shops and you’ll be rich. Something at the time told me it wasn’t that easy.

The words “network marketing”  has garnered more attention and popularity in the last decade. So much has been made of the first word network yet a staggering 97% of sober minded well-meaning entrepreneurs were never taught one thing about the second word- marketing. Why is this and why was this? I’ll tell you why, because 97% of old school uplines and prehistoric sponsors living in Bedrock didn’t know one thing about it themselves. The old adage is you can’t teach what you don’t know.

Recently I sat in my home office where I run my international branded online marketing business and I made  a list. Not of names but of methods and strategies. Strategies that anyone building a network marketing program can use today to generate more, qualified leads and in some cases free leads every day. I was blown away at what I came up with. Over 25 different ways and over 18 that I was never ever taught. I was so amazed in my discovery that I had to make a video to share this info for the many who may still be living in an ancient marketing realm producing limited results. The marketing landscape has evolved. And with the dawning of social media, blogs, capture pages,web 2.0 and viral marketing there is no reason anyone can not succeed properly in the arena of direct sales or network marketing.  If you’re still starving for marketing methods or hungry for leads, watch this short video I told you that I made and afterward connect with me.
