Guest post by: Adrian Hines

Article Overview: Here is a network marketing tip that most people don't even talk about. If you want to know the secret of getting your spouse to like this industry again, this is for you.

Network Marketing Tips: How To Get Your Spouse On The Same Page

Have you ever wondered how you can get your spouse on the same page as you in your network marketing home based business? Are you tired of the same old fights and arguements? Do you just want your spouse to support and have faith in you? If you keep reading you will discover the answers to your questions. June 2004 I quit my job and started working my network marketing business full time. The following month my wife quit too and joined me in business. During the next 5 months we worked in the trenches day and night to build our business. We prospected in the cold market together, set appointments over the phone, attended business overviews, and traveled to out of state events. By November-December we were broke, disgusted, ashamed, frustrated, afraid, and extremely disappointed.

After my car got repoed and we got evicted I decided to go back to corporate America. That whole experience left a bad taste in my wife's mouth. Ever since then when I presented an opportunity to her she turned up her nose and had "the look" on her face. I knew what that was all about.

Chances are your spouse feels the same way mine DID even if you haven't gone through what I have. I want to share with you how you can get your spouse on the same page with you even if she can't stand MLM/network marketing right now.

There are only a few reasons why our spouses feel the way they do. They are a) ignorant of what we do, b) tired of us facing rejection, c) see no money coming in, and d) want to spend more time with us.

I followed 8 simple steps that got my wife and I on the same page again when it comes to my network marketing business. You can do the same thing too!

1. Let your spouse see exactly what you do on a day to day basis. It helps them to understand what you actually go through and why it will pay off.

2. Help them to understand what your business is all about. This eliminates them being ignorant of your business

3. Invite them to be a part of your business (call leads, help with marketing, etc). This gives them a sense of provide and envolvement.

4. You be efficient and consistent working the business. That's the only way you will get results so that you can do #5.

5. Make some money. Will eliminate ALL arguements.

6. Have a date night once a week or every two weeks. Let them know you value and love them.

7. Spend quality time with your spouse. That's what they want most.

8. Don't ALWAYS work the business have balance.

That's what it took to get my wife to APPRECIATE this industry again. It was an uphill battle but I am glad it worked out. There is no greater feeling than you and your spouse being on the same page in EVERYTHING.

Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.
