Everyone loves the word free. And better yet, they love when they get something for free. But when it comes to starting a network marketing business, the road to success is not free.
No matter what you read or what a potential sponsor tells you, finding success in MLM… in network marketing is not free.
Like any business, there are investments you should make. Investments to better yourself, your brand and your network marketing business.
So in today’s post, I am going to share 6 investments you should make to help you take your network marketing business to the success level.
Investments #1: Time
The key is in not spending time, but in investing it. – Stephen R. Covey
I had to make this the top investment. And so many network marketers do not invest their time and wonder why they are not making money.
No matter if you are working your MLM business part or full time, you will have to set aside time on a daily basis to build the business.
The best way to ensure you are investing time is by making a plan of action. Plan out (in writing) how, and how much time you will work your business each day.
Investments #2: Education
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. – Benjamin Franklin
There is always something new to learn. I suggest that you invest in books, seminars, courses and more.
The more you learn about the industry, the business, etc., the better you will be at managing your network marketing business.
Investments #3: Blog/Website
One key to building a strong network marketing business is by building your brand. And in most cases, that brand is you.
The primary way network marketers build their brand is by purchasing a domain and hosting and starting a blog.
You can write about subjects related to products or services you sell in your network marketing business. In doing so, you can attract both customers and prospects.
Investments #4: Recruiting Tools
Ask any top earner from nearly any MLM company, they will probably tell you that 3rd party tools has been a key to their success.
Often, you can have prospects read, watch or listen to a 3rd party tool and they will be more apt to join you.
That is why we developed Rocket Recruiting. With a variety of recruiting videos and strategies, many network marketers have claimed it is a tool they cannot manage their business without.

Investments #5: The Products
Another key investment is you using the products or services. By using the products, you show potential customers or recruits that you are a product of the product. You use and are faithful to the products your company sells.
Investments #6: Promotion
Promotional products can be a huge plus in growing your business. You might want to invest in:
-
Business cards
-
Fliers
-
Clothing that represents
-
Advertising
Like any business, you must spread your name and the word. The best way to do so is through various promotional strategies.
I also suggest you promote yourself on social media which is a time investment.
Conclusion
I want to provide you with one other piece of advice on an investment you should make in your network marketing business. Actually, Warren Buffett says it best:
“It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.”
I hope this helps you grow your network marketing business.
You gotta invest to have success!
