👊Today I'm going to talk about a few mistakes to avoid with your marketing efforts. A lot of people generally like to talk about everything they've done right in life and in their business, but I'm going to talk about some things I've done wrong in the MLM/Affiliate Marketing industry, and I'm sure many of you can relate because we all make mistakes, which is normal. This is how we learn. Unfortunately, success is never a straight, and typically we have to fail before we can succeed.
Successful marketers and Entrepreneurs fail their way to success. We make mistakes, get back up, learn, and continue moving forward while making the necessary adjustments. Rinse and repeat. This is how success works.
I believe the fastest way to success in our industry is to learn from others mistakes so you can avoid them. One of the biggest problems that I see is when newbies join me, they tend to want to do thing's their own way, and I always stress that every good program has implemented strategies for success, and for some ungodly reason, people want to reinvent the wheel which is a disaster waiting to happen. Always follow your uplines guidance at least until you make a few sales, and then if you want to branch out on your own then have at it. 💥
Here are just a few of the mistakes that I've made along with others that I've talked to, and I hope you don't make the same mistakes we've made in no particular order! 👇
1) Not being coachable: This one was never a problem of mine because I was very coachable, but the problem was that when I started in this industry, I was very eager to learn, unfortunately all of my sponsors/upline went into the witness protection program once I joined and they took my money, so I had to learn on my own while losing a lot of money in the beginning. With that being said, I don't want to make it sound like all uplines are bad, because they aren't. If you decide to join any online opportunity, try to stay plugged in to the system and your immediate upline, unless you feel he/she isn't helping you, and if that's the case then try looking up the chain within your upline until you find the right person that you're comfortable with and go from there. You want to find the person that's already been there and done that so you can attach yourself to them...
2) Starting & Stopping: This one is quite common. What typically happens is that when a new rep joins an opportunity, they are gung-ho, and ready to learn. The first few weeks up to about a month, they are working hard with "NO RESULTS" and now frustration begins to set in, and they start thinking, this must be scam because I'm not making any money and I'm working my butt off, and within the first 90 days they quit. First of all, no one starts any business and is making a life changing income within the first 90 days, it's not going to happen. You must think of it as money for the future and now for now. Sure, you can make money on your first day, and continue doing that sporadically, but as you've heard me say many times if you're reading my posts, is that you will need to devote a good 2-5 hard years building your list in hopes of finding just a few likeminded people that can help build your business, so don't start and stop because you will lose that momentum and once that happens, it's hard to get back...
3) Giving up too soon: Most people will join a company, be excited for a few months and after not seeing the results they had hoped to see, the excitement goes away. Unfortunately, I was that person also, I just never quit. I continued joining program after program because I thought it didn't work because I wasn't seeing the results I wanted, and because of my determination to get better and learn, and pushed through, and that's why I'm successful today. I didn't quit! When you bounce from program to program, you get known as an MLM junkie, and that's not a good look, plus you aren't going to make any money. Commitment is key, so pick a program and get started and make sure you're still there a year from now...
4) Bad people skills: This one is common for just about everyone starting a new opportunity online. Once you get acclimated to the system and learn the ropes from your successful upline by listening and implementing a few key strategies, you will gradually begin to come out of your shell and grow confidence each passing day, and success becomes much easier. Just make sure to give yourself enough time to succeed because you're probably not as bad as you think you are. Patience is a virtue...
5) Promoting multiple deals: The mindset is by promoting multiple deals I will be successful much quicker, and that couldn't be further from the truth. It sounds good in theory, but when you're a NEWBIE it's hard enough just learn one program, let alone multiple programs. I understand wanting multiple streams of income but first learn all about your current opportunity while taking your lumps early, and once you start to make money and only then if you want to branch out with other opportunities by all means do so. The reason it's a bad idea in the beginning is because you won't be experienced enough to devote enough time to each opportunity which is the kiss of death. Earn while you learn, and always research anything you join...
6) Being a lone wolf: In my experience I've had a lot of people join me, and not stay plugged in and decide to reinvent the wheel so to speak, and once again you need to stay plugged in to your successful upline whoever that may be, because most likely they've already been there, done that, and that's where you're trying to get. I hate to keep beating a dead horse here, but it's very important that follow the system until you fully understand what you're doing and have made a few sales and then if you want to branch out, you can do that, because there are many ways to build a successful online business. You will have to figure out what works for you. Feel free to contact your upline if you need to discuss further to see what may work for you. Network Marketing is a team sport...
7) Chasing shiny objects: I was never one of those people but again this is very common amongst entrepreneurs because everyone wants to find the fast easy way to make money, and I can't blame anyone for wanting that, but unfortunately it doesn't exist, and in the long run you will cost yourself more money. Don't listen to all the hype and empty promises. Always, and I mean always do your due diligence and research anything you're thinking about joining...
8) Focusing on me: I never understood this one because MLM/Affiliate Marketing is a "TEAM GAME" so why would anyone only focus on themselves when the only way they can be successful is with the help of others. I started in this industry back in 2006 and I failed miserably for a good many years because I didn't have a good sponsor. Everything I joined in beginning my sponsor rolled out the red carpet and told me everything I wanted to hear until they got money, and then it was like they went into the witness protection program. Never to be seen or heard from again. This is one of the biggest reasons why our industry gets a lot of criticism. If you every become a sponsor to anyone in this industry, please don't leave anyone hanging. Always try to offer help when needed because both you and your downline members success depend on it...
9) Self-confidence issues: Network Marketing can be a bit overwhelming so don't feel bad when you join an opportunity and have self-doubt because there is usually a lot to learn and you will believe that you aren't good enough to succeed and this causes people to either not join or quit within the first 90 days. I'm not going to lie; this isn't easy and does take a special kind of mindset. A good friend of mine got me involved many years ago, and before I joined, I had to think about it for a very long time, because I felt like it was out of my comfort zone, but once I got involved and learned what I was doing, now I'm very successful, and really enjoy what I do. I love to make money like we all do, but I really feel good when I get one of my students a sale. There is no greater feeling in this industry in my opinion, and hopefully I can continue to do what I do God willing...
10) Not treating it like a business: You can work your business parttime. 1-2 hours per day is just fine, but so many people within our industry will join an opportunity, and maybe work an hour one day, and the next week maybe work an hour or two. By doing this you are guaranteed to fail and there's no and's or ifs about it. When you join an opportunity (PMS-$12 per month), try to think about it as if you invested a million dollars into your business, and by doing so, you will put a lot more time and energy into your business...
😭There are obviously more mistakes to avoid, but in my opinion, these are probably the most common, and hopefully this post helps educate you, so you won't make these mistakes like I and so many others have.

{Random Snake Pictures}:
I like to go to exotic Pet Expos both in and out of town and enjoy taking pictures of snakes I see when at the public events, and I took this picture at the Clarksville Indiana show back in early May of 2025. I currently have 5 myself and will continue to purchase more because I really enjoy my interactions with these reptiles and unfortunately, they get a bad rap for being dangerous and deadly. Yes, there are species that are venomous and can kill you if injected with the poison, but the snakes I have are very docile, and not dangerous at all. In fact, I have a male Ball Python named Diesel and he sleeps with me all the time with me being in absolutely no danger. I realize they are a bit different but as far as pets go, they are inexpensive and easy to care for. Plus, some species can live 20-40 years depending on how well they are maintained. More than likely my snakes will probably outlive me. If you're wanting to learn more about these amazing reptiles, please feel free to contact me anytime, and I will be happy to answer any and all questions...👌
