Does it take skill to build a network marketing business? How often have you been told anyone can do this business?

Did you know that statement has become known as one of the 7 great lies of network marketing? Yes, you do need skill to build an MLM empire. The above statement stems from the old tactic of getting your new sign up to make a list and get people to a meeting at your house and your upline will do the rest.

That's okay in principle and was effective when the internet was still being thought of but in reality, it's hit and miss prospecting with little business sense in today's online dominated environment.

You Need Business Skill To Do MLM

Don't be frightened by the above statement. Business skill to run an MLM business comes with training...proper training. The truth is, no one will build your network marketing business for you.

In the new world of the Renegade Network Marketer, business skill revolves around using the power and leverage of the internet to attract hundreds of prospects to you. It's about eliminating the hit and miss factor and getting your prospects to a stage where they actually contact you.

Inter-network marketing has been gathering momentum during the past 12 months and many predict it's the next boom within the industry. It's natural for "beaten up" former network marketers who simply gave up with the old model of offline prospecting to doubt moving online can resurrect their MLM business.

Consider this if you're one of them. By having your own website to brand yourself; your own blog to create a relationship with your prospects and lead generation methods which include article marketing and utilizing the power of the Web 2.0 boom, don't you think you can attract targeted prospects into your marketing funnel?

Moving Your Prospecting Online

The statement that "anyone can do this business" has been the catalyst for many failed network marketers to actually part with their hard-earned and try MLM. It's been one of the more damaging of the 7 great lies of network marketing.

The secret lies in having a steady flow of prospects entering your funnel and then using attraction marketing principles to eventually convert them into associates.

But the truth is, when attraction marketing is done right, your prospects will actually convert themselves even before you lay your primary offer on the line.
