Default Are You Grabbing Your Readers This Way?

90%+ are failing in network marketing, and you're one of them. Now what are you going to do?

The above line will surely grab a person's attention, especially them that are failing in network marketing. To make a shocking statement, as well as a call to action, is very powerful in article marketing.

You have less than 10 seconds to capture the reader's attention. How will you do it? The lifespan of your article marketing career depends on it. Do you have a need to learn HOW to write?

Wouldn't it be better to get with someone who understands article marketing and how to write articles? This type of marketing is VERY powerful, and is a hot trend in marketing. Let's get with the program and succeed!

CAPTURE YOUR AUDIENCES' ATTENTION IN LESS THAN 10 SECONDS.. Are YOU ready to learn how to do it?

I suspect not, if you'll excuse the observation. Everyone's seen it 100 times before (though usually the claimed fail-rate is 95% or 97%), being misused as a hysterical, hyped-up way of promoting misguided stuff like "funded proposals", because the reality is that it's easier for some people to make a living promoting this kind of stuff that has no advantageous place in network marketing than it is for them to make a living in network marketing itself.

It goes along, exactly, with the "branding yourself" philosophy for which so many WAHM members have recently been expressing and explaining their distaste in this thread.

What constitutes "failing", of course, is somehow never quite defined. You could probably justify the opinion that "90%" fail if you start from the assumption that everyone becoming a distributor of an MLM company is setting out specifically to earn a living from it, but of course this isn't the case at all.

There's actually no evidence at all that the true "failure-rate" in network marketing is any higher, or lower, than is the case for any other sort of business or home-based self-employment.

The truth is that it's very subjective, and nobody has any real evidence one way or the other.

If you'll excuse such a dissenting opinion, I don't think this sort of marketing is at all "powerful": I think people increasingly see it for what it is.

This would not grab my attention I've seen this a million times.
It does usually have a funded proposal or"new marketing system"
attached to it.

If someone is failing at network marketing I'm pretty sure
they know why for what ever reason.

I agree. If someone is not getting any results that usually means either they are not passionate about what they are offering and/or not talking to people. JMHO.

Forgive me but -- again -- this smacks of the whole "attraction marketing" trend where people think that they have to write articles in order to be successful in network marketing.

I'll bet I could do a survey of top earners in the industry and find that less than 3% of them have ever written an article in their lives.....nor have they spent a single minute on trying to figure out how to do it....or felt that they had to do that sort of thing to be successful in their business.

Nothing at all wrong with "article-marketing". I've got a few articles out there. But, let's not get it confused with network marketing.

At the end of the day, network marketing is about showing a prospect what you do and what you offer....and then collecting a decision about whether they want to be involved.

That's all. Simple as that. No need to complicate it.

If more people did THOSE things (instead of worrying about SEO, article marketing, blogging, etc.).....then we'd probably have a lot more people making money in this industry.

P.S. By the way, the whole "95% of networkers are failing" is and always has been a myth. It's not a real statistic. But, if it WERE true, I'd bet that one way to improve those numbers would be for networkers to realize that there's a difference between the way professional networkers work.....and how most networkers work.
