If you have chosen a network marketing business for your home based business, you are no doubt looking for a source of  residual income.

Unfortunately many people do not know how to build their business in a way that will provide them with the income that they dream of.

First of all you have to realize that network marketing is not going to give you the massive  income you deserve if it is run like a direct sales business.
In fact many people believe that there is little point in running a network marketing business now that the internet is able to provide instant contact with the products that you are looking for.

The real success with a network marketing business comes from connecting with people that are looking for a business of their own.

Success in this age of Twitter, Facebook, and blogs is more about building you personal brand than promoting the products of your network marketing company.

Look at the product company as a means to build a business for yourself, instead of you just being a representative for the company.

I view the products that I receive every month on auto order as an added benefit to myself as I build my business. However, when it comes to promoting my business, I aim to connect with like minded individuals who wish to make money online.

Network Marketing Pitfalls:

It can be a challenge to generate network marketing leads.

In order to find and contact qualified leads for your network marketing business, it is important that they are well informed before you ever actually talk to them.

The old techniques of buying network marketing leads and “dialing for dollars” just will not get you the results that you need to build your network marketing business into a raging success.

In fact you can waste all of your time and money going about building your business in this way.

What You Need:

In order to build an amazingly successful network marketing business, you need a way to find and sort applicants.

This way you only actually talk to people who are informed and motivated to take action on your offer.
You do not need to waste time with in house presentations or expensive meetings. Doing these things can squash your chance at building a network marketing business before you get it off the ground.

If you are serious about building a successful network marketing business, learn the Occupy the City technique of finding qualified leads today!

Is it possible to create internet marketing success if you are a stay at home parent?

In fact is that in these changing times, it is one of the best choices a parent can make.

It is important to show our children now how dealing in information is the way of the future. All other forms of labor are quickly becoming obsolete in “First World “Countries.

It is our job as parents to not only provide the best life that we can for our children, but to also show them how to succeed on their own.

It is more apparent than ever that the traditional way of doing things is not going to get you where you want to be.

Internet marketing has the potential to allow anyone with a strong desire and the ability to focus to achieve great success.

Occupy the City is combining the residual income system of network marketing with cutting edge internet marketing techniques, to provide members with the best income sources online.

Being able to show my little one the world as I think it should be lived is my ultimate goal, what’s yours?

Whatever it is, finding success through internet marketing can help you achieve it.

Spring has finally arrived in my little northern town of Bella Coola, B.C. so I get to get out into the garden again.

As I garden I am reminded of the similarity of gardening to building my online network marketing business.

The sprouts have me thinking of articles that I have posted online, collecting views and hopefully some link clicks.

In general as I garden I am reminded that all good things take time to develop, there is no way to rush the blooming of plants, so patience is needed.

I can take the lesson of patience and stay cool as a cucumber as I build my network marketing business with Occupy the City.

I know that as I do my part to ensure the growth of the community of Occupy the City, I will find the success that I crave.

Just as bees work together to harvest honey for the whole hive, us humans can learn from their example and learn to work together to create something that can benefit more than just the individual.

This is the goal of Occupy the City- Success for all, through the power of community and network marketing.

 You may think- “Hey, I’m no baker, making pies is hard”, Well how about eating a pie? Super easy right?

Reaching your goals, whatever they may be can be just as easy.

At the suggestion of a mentor in my network marketing community I have started Mark Joyner’s Simpleology Course.

I am seeing now how truly easy it is to reach all the important goals and create success in my life.

Do you like me write “To Do” lists, and never get everything done on them ?

Simpleology explains why these lists don’t work.  I see that I don’t have to blame myself for not accomplishing my goals in the past, I was using a needlessly complex approach.

That’s the beauty of Simpleology- it’s simple.

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

Do many network marketers use the Law of Attraction ?

You bet they do. Some may not do it consciously, but if they are successful they have attracted their success.

In a way you could say all network marketers use the Law of Attraction, because we all are “using” this universal law, just as we all “use” gravity.

The trick is to use it more and more consciously to help you get what you desire out of life.

One experience that has helped me learn more about using the Law of Attraction in my life was taking part in the Boundless Living Challenge, put on by Bob Doyle last year.

He is starting another round for this year. Check it out , it’s free and a great way to get in touch with other people learning to consciously create reality.

“Give in order to Get”
One way to activate universal laws to work on your behalf is to focus more on what you are giving in your business, rather than what you will get.

In order to activate the Law of Attraction for my network marketing business I like to think of all the benefits that someone entering into my network marketing team will receive.

I focus on my desire to share this opportunity with the people who are ready for it, and let the commissions from my down line take care of themselves.

I feel that I am lucky to be part of a network marketing community that allows me the freedom to do this in my own way, without having to worry about the initial phone calls.

This kind of assistance is very valuable as you are just starting a network marketing business.

I have been able to build my confidence as an inter-network marketer while, having a down line building system in place to do the “heavy lifting” as we like to say.

 ”Many hands make light work”

As a unique network marketing community we all support each others efforts in making our blogs successful by commenting on them and preforming easy social bookmarking tasks.

Building a business with a team in place is a great way to harness the power of the Law of Attraction, due to the fact that the more people that can benefit by your business, the greater the potential for success!

At every turn in your life there are people ready to offer advice and their opinion.

Although this seems helpful, it can actually be hindering your success in many areas of your life.

“The most important thing for your success will be to trust yourself.”

• Trust your decisions in your business, no one knows it like you do.
• Trust that what you are doing will bring you the success that you desire, and you will create it.
• Trust that even though it seems you are going against what every one else is doing, you are on the right path.

After all, do your friends have successful home based businesses? Do they have businesses of their own at all?

As you strive to create great success in life, it will at times feel as if you are swimming against the current.

This feeling is part of the territory, and part of the reason that people stay in “safe” jobs.

As you head out to create your own success, you are going out of your comfort zone.

Things appear new and maybe difficult because you haven’t done them before. But you will gain familiarity with many techniques as you use them.

“Do not listen to naysayers”

I know family members who mean well, but by sharing their negativity they are unknowingly setting out pitfalls to my success.

I have learned that it is important to consider what they say, but know that what I doing for my business is right for me.

Working with a community of like minded people, as been a great help to overcome these well meant pitfalls.

Having mentors and the support of a team of people all working toward a common goal, has made great difference.

The team that I work with is Occupy the City .

We are an online community dedicated to the long term success of all of it’s members.

If you are thinking of starting a small business online there are many tools available to help you.

However it is easy to get overwhelmed and confused, with all the choices of programs available.

Some of the common ways to start and promote an online business are article writing as well as  creating a blogand posting to it regularly.

Do you have “Market Demand”?

Whatever your choice of promotion method it is important to have a high market demand for your product or opportunity.

There are many niches that you can become expert in. But as much as you may love blue widgets, there just may not be that many people searching for blue widgets.

Whatever your chioce, do some market research before continuing to pursue your blue widget site and blog.

For more information on starting and promoting small businesses online have a look at my Squidoo lens- Small Business Online.

If you have dreams of running a successful top home business, is there a real chance if succeeding with network marketing?

Many people currently feel that due to the internet and the availability of so many products online, that network marketing no longer holds the same promise of a residual income that it once did.

A lot of people did well by introducing their friends and family to exclusive products and  the easy ordering system that network marketing companies have in place.

Today we can easily order anything under the sun from on line suppliers.

This has made it necessary to find another approach to success with a network marketing opportunity.

“Know your target market”

The people today that you want to attract to your network marketing business are ones who are ready to build their own business.

Yes in the past it was easy to make a good income using the direct sales from your company, but this is not the way the real network marketing movers and shakers have ever built their down lines.

The greatly successful people in network marketing know how to leverage their down line into something that grows income exponentially.

Luckily the approach of Occupy the City has these ideas in mind. By applying attraction marketing techniques with a unique portfolio approach, we are maximizing the options of our community. This is in order to make it attractive to as many people as possible.

As a group we can accomplish much more than anyone person working alone to build a top home based business.
