Building a network marketing business is a lot like a marathon. Those that run out with all their might right off the bat, usually end up giving out a short distance into the race. It’s those that keep persevering and keep pushing that usually get the best results. With this in mind, there are several mistakes that most network marketers make when building their business. With the help of proper internet marketing, many of these mistakes can be corrected.

One big mistake that network marketers make in internet marketing is that they try to mass market to the entire world. The internet is a massive place. Its like a big meeting place for the entire world. You know from marketing in real life, that only about 1-2% of people in the world will like what you have to offer. The majority of people just won’t see the value in what you have to offer. Now if you have a billion dollars to market to a mass audience like Wal-Mart or Microsoft, then its ok if you want to. However, if you had a billion dollars, you probably wouldn’t be in a network marketing business. Therefore, you need to zero in on your target audience and market directly to them. This will save you money and usually be much more effective for your advertising budget.

Another common mistake that network marketers make is expect everyone in their downline to work like them. When they don’t, they get bent out of shape and start to worry about how they will ever succeed. However, this line of thinking is detrimental to you and your team. You can’t always expect everyone to love your business as much as you do. Even if they join, they aren’t always going to be as dedicated and hard working as you are. Some people are just naturally lazy. Just because they joined your business doesn’t mean that they’re going to change their work habits all of a sudden. If you gained them through internet marketing, you really don’t know what to expect. This means that you should just be grateful for each new person you bring in and not worry about what they’re going to do for you. Show them how to succeed and then lead by example. If the person really knows how to work, they will follow your lead. Its a lot easier to lead from the front of the pack than by barking orders from behind.

Another mistake that network marketers make in internet marketing is by blowing out their whole budget on one campaign. They think that this is a “can’t miss” ad campaign. They think that if they can just run this pay-per-click ad for a week, they’ll be rolling in so many prospects, they won’t know what to do. However, this isn’t always the case. Prospects might not fully understand what it is that you offer just because they click on your ad. If its not what they want, they won’t buy in. This means that you shouldn’t put all of your budget on one single promotion. Save a little for the next time.

With these things in mind, hopefully you can avoid some of the common mistakes that network marketers make in internet marketing.
