There are a lot of Internet Marketing gurus and trainers. Choosing effective Marketing training can quite frankly be a bit overwhelming. Before spending your hard earned money, you may want to consider the following:

Check out Free Training Offered:
This is important. You will get a sense of what someone has to offer, their training style, ability to communicate, and ability to teach. Pay close attention to this. I believe that people learn differently. Know what works for you.

I had once spent a great deal of time and money on a membership training site. I did learn a lot, but still did not grasp the whole concept of the Internet marketing. It was not until I took a free training course, where I actually was able to put all the pieces together (to this day one of the best trainings I ever received)

Was the other training course bad? No, I believe that it just did not suit my learning style. Other people were experiencing a great deal of success using the training. I just had to find something that suited me.

Resist the Pressure to Buy It All
Ahhh the Marketing Funnel – the offer – The call to Action. Important aspects of Internet marketing. I have learned over time to resist the temptation to buy every training course encountered. And there are a lot of great courses out there!

It is easy to loose focus when you are bombarded with offers that seem way to good to pass up. I was caught in this trap and as a result wasted a lot of time. I have learned that there will continue to be great courses offered in the future.

You may want to think about what you are trying to achieve and what your goals are when choosing a course. I actually pulled back from it all so that I could gain perspective on what it was I wanted to achieve. I wanted to focus on building my network marketing company. I was getting pulled into too many directions.

Other Factors:
Do you trust the trainer? How does their style and personality jive with yours? Is the information taught something that can be easily shared with your team (Duplication!), does it appear that the the training is just a way of selling products to your downline?

I ended up choosing courses because there was no high pressure to join anything. I believed the trainer remembered that I was a customer and was accessible and believe or not, because he said Thank You – and it was sincere.  The training was clear and easy to understand.

Effective Marketing Training can help you build your network marketing business. Just remember your goals and your main focus – building your network marketing team!

If you are at a loss of where to begin, there are two excellent resources.

• Network Marketing Specific: I highly recommend that if you are in network marketing obtaining a free copy of “Success in 10 steps”. It is an excellent resource that brought a lot of clarity to what I was doing.  This will also give you access to free training calls which will give you additional  skills to build your business.

• General Internet Marketing Training: In relation to general Internet marketing, consider Ed Dales’ The Challenge. It is free.  While the focus is not on network marketing, it will give you an excellent foundation on using the Internet to build a business.

To your success!

I am an advocate of the attraction model of network marketing.  I believe it is the most effective method to day.  As a leader, we need to keep current with what works.  A great way to do this is through Mike Klingler and Ann Sieg.  Renegade Professionals is a comprehensive training on using the Internet to build your business.  This will give network marketing leaders an opportunity to learn and sharpen important attraction marketing skills.  This will also give leaders information and tools for their distributors.  I try to avoid being “Pitchy” at this site, but this is a training I am passionate about.  It all started with Ann Sieg’s Renegade Network Marketer.  Renegade professional was developed by Mike Klingler so that people could learn the skills needed to apply what Ann has taught.

I am a student of Renegade Professionals.  When I joined, I thought the only way to make money on the Internet was to set up a website and sell stuff!  This training opened my eyes to an overwhelming amount of opportunities.  If I had to find any fault with the training, it is that it can be a little overwhelming at first.  I believe Mike solved this by including initial training on how to customize the training based on your experience.  This was the missing piece.  Mike did an excellent job with this and it really put me on the right track.  Another great aspect of this training is that the content is not stagnant.  Mike and his team continue to add relevant content as the need arises.  If there is a new way to use the Internet to build a business, I am confident that it will show up at the training site!

Whether or not you choose to join the training, I encourage you to educate yourself on effective methods.  It does not have to be any that I review or have posted on the site.  There is actually one free report available called the Attraction Marketing Manifesto.  Even if you never purchase anything from Ann Sieg or Mike Klingler, this report will really help provide some solutions to challenges network marketers are facing today.

I will be reviewing different trainings, programs and books a long the way.  I welcome feedback on any of the reviews.

To Your Success!

Have you ever been told by someone in a Network Marketing company that if you don’t succeed with the opportunity, it’s basically all your fault?  I had that experience when I attended a weekend training promoting the more traditional methods of marketing.  Using these old-school MLM methods made me feel like there was something wrong with me. I was not comfortable with using the methods taught and really struggled to build my business.  I felt I needed to change things about myself.  Maybe my “Why” was not big enough, or maybe I needed to develop more confidence.  I also found myself getting irritated.  My experience has taught me that leaders also have a responsibility in a teams’ success.  I was not buying into the trainers belief’s anymore. This was confirmed as I learned more about  Attraction network marketing.  People who are not experiencing success probably need to learn more effective methods of Network Marketing.  There are tons of people who work really hard at the business with very little to show.  It is too easy to shift all the blame onto those people.  Yes it is true that people on your team are responsible for taking action and are primarily responsible for their own success, but a leader with integrity shares some of that responsibility. The following are just a few thoughts on this subject:

• If someone on your team, or someone that you are coaching is not experiencing success, you have a responsibility to discuss this with that person.  It is quite possible that person does not have the right information or tools to effectively accomplish their goals. In addition, they may need a different approach.  Remember that success in network marketing is not about having everyone utilizing a one size fits all type of method.
• Leaders have a responsibility of empowering their team to be successful and to become leaders themselves.  This means providing your team with quality information, tools and skills necessary for success.
• Leaders have a responsibility to keep current with their industry and what methods are most effective for building their business.  They need to keep themselves educated, find a coach if needed, and work on self-development.
• Leaders have a responsibility to keep an open mind.  They need to be willing to look at new ways of doing things as our society grows and changes.  What is working today may very well be an “old school” method down the road.
• Leaders cannot rest on their laurels.  I believe that great leaders continue to work on their business.  They don’t cling onto their past successes.  They lead by example.

I would love to hear feedback and thoughts on this subject.  I welcome your posts!

To your success!
