Here you are a brand new person to network marketing and MLM. I know you're asking yourself, "What am I suppose to do now?" The answer is very simple, TAKE ACTION! Ok, that's it! That's the end of the article. So, what did you learn? Oh! You want more? Ok.

Believe it or not, network marketing and MLM are very "simple" businesses. One of the greatest business models ever developed to allow the average individual to make an above average income. "This business is simple," you ask? Yes! Very simple. The only thing is, like any business, it is not "easy." It will take work on your part. This is a key reason why we call this business net-WORK-marketing. Get it?

The first thing you should do is become very familiar with your company, culture, products/services, and comp plan. Even then, the comp plan is not the most important thing you should fully understand at this point. Although, you should have discovered while researching your new company how you are going to be paid and where your income will come from in this business. This process may take as long as five days to get this information under your belt and comfortable.

A major key to your success starting out is do NOT talk to anyone about your new network marketing business until you have gone through the "Getting Started" training with your company and your sponsor. I can't stress this enough. This can make all the difference in the world in how you get started out with your new business. Trust your sponsor and the company training. You should have learned from your due diligence of the company and sponsor; if the training and system is working for your sponsor and other successful people in the company, then it will work for you.

Get engaged and meet regularly with your sponsor for training calls. Get involved in the weekly corporate and team training conference calls. Read through the brochures. Get very comfortable with your company back office system on your website. When you learn how to best use the elements of your back office it will serve you very well. If your company back office does not include a contact manager/database, then you need to talk to your sponsor to determine which is the best for you.

What do you know about marketing your new business? Nothing? I thought so. This is an area where you will need to duplicate the online and offline marketing techniques of those already successfully working them in your company. In the case where your sponsor can't seem to help you with this then track upline until you find someone who is willing to work with you and share their information and experiences. No sense reinventing the wheel in marketing as that can be very time consuming.

You have made the choice of which company and sponsor you wish to work with in your new network marketing business. Now is the time to STOP looking at other opportunities both on and offline. You need to be focused on your new business and not distracted with the latest and greatest new start up company. Have faith in yourself and your decision and stick with it.

Now is the time to become immersed in your new business, the company, get involved in the culture, focus on ACTION, and "fall forward.Something that will be of great help to you and you should write these 12 words on a note card and stick it over your desk, "I must do the most productive thing possible at every given moment"." You will fail at different elements of your business but learn from them and move forward. No successful person in history made it without many failures.

So, in summary, your success or failure rests totally in your hands. You have to take the initiative and learn, experience, trial and error, fall forward, and take positive productive ACTION on a daily basis in your business. As I said in the beginning, network marketing is simple but not easy. As you have already learned in life, nothing worthwhile comes easy.

I hope this has given you a better idea of where you're going and how to get there. There is no secret to this business as any successful professional will tell you. If there is a secret to success it lies within YOU. Now, take the opportunity you have been given and personally chosen and make the best of it to become successful. I have faith in you and you CAN do this.
