There are two types of focuses. There is the broad focus and there is the narrow focus.

When discussing the broad focus, you have to think about network marketing day and night. There is no way around this. My upline (by probably 100 levels up J) use to say that you just cannot build a Mlm business on a part-time basis. It is not really possible. You have to think about it day and night. When you are at your job, you should be thinking of it. When you're together with your sweetheart and companion, you have to be thinking of it. You have to concentrate on it.

There is also what I called the narrow focus. You can not do everything at the same time. I and my brother became a victim to this and it was somewhat frustrating. If you are trying to build your network marketing business online, there are many ways you can market your business. For example, there are many systems to use. I mean, you have MLM lead system pro (my favorite), there is the Maximum leverage by Daegan Smith, King of never calling. I hope you don't believe that crap. There is magnetic sponsoring by Mike Dillard. Then you have Jonathan Budd system. I mean the list goes on. And the funny part is that these folks know each other and they are always promoting to each others' list. That i think is the perfect recipe for disaster to the new network marketer. Which one do you go with? Which system is the best? All these are distractions. Here is the solution. Pick one and focus on it. Until you are a top earner with one system, don't go to another. As a matter of fact, do not waste your time attending their webinar. It will cause distraction.

In terms of the marketing techniques, which should you do? After all yesterday there is webinar on pay per click. Today there is another one on SEO. Then there is Newsletter marketing. Then you have list builders. There is also video marketing. There is nothing wrong with being nosy. But you have to pick one marketing method and be a master at it. It pretty much as to be your second nature before you start thinking about the next marketing method. Pick whichever you think would be easier for you to do. If you are not comfortable in front of the camera and probably not eloquent enough, why would you want to get on video? Get on article marketing and be a master at it. Learn all that you can possibly learn about that method that you choose.

This is a recent example. Mike Dillard announced "what's working now." Right before you checkout the product, there is Mike Dillard video showing up proclaiming to offer you some deal on a product. If you get rid of that like I did, there is one more video coming out on another low cost on another product. I was thinking this was about staying away from information overload. Then what's up with Mr Dillard giving me the same problem just before I order the product? I am not trying to bash the guy. Quite frankly, the price for WWN is absurdly cheap based on the value on it. What I am saying is you need to be focused and know how to say NO to a great number of new things being released. Master a single thing at a time. You should be the finest article marketer. You should be the finest PPC guy before visiting the next method. If you are not mindful, exactly the same gurus which you follow are the one that will disturb you. Be smart about it. This is the greatest of the network marketing secrets.
