90% of beginner multi level marketers fail to make their first dollar online for one simple reason: lack of action. I follow and post on many internet marketing forums and I see this all the time; people complaining how they spend thousands of dollars on courses, e-books, personal Internet Marketing coaches and even seminars, yet they can’t generate any MLM leads. Then they go on to explain how they had their cousin sign up as their first affiliate and... that's it.

Well, my friends, it takes more than one lead to make you rich. MLM is just like any other business, it’s not going to make you money if you don’t put any effort into it.

First of all, you need to get the word out. Advertising your product is the most important part of this business. If you post something - an article, a forum response, a Squidoo lens or a Yahoo answer, you have an extra chance to be seen. Take advantage of the fact that you can get most of this advertising for FREE. Using blogs, article marketing, social media such as Youtube, Facebook and Twitter helps a lot! Yes, it takes time and effort but it pays off! One single 300-word article in an article directory could bring thousands of people to a site and make hundreds of them sign up and purchase whatever you are selling - but you need to do the proper research and you need to write that article! It is THAT SIMPLE.

So next time you are about to complain about not making money, ask yourself if you have done enough action to deserve that money. If your fingers are not sore from all the typing (or your wallet empty from outsourcing all the typing) then you probably haven’t done enough!

Now go out there, take action and bring in your first lead. Just make sure to sign up under me so I get half of your commissions. Broo ha ha!
