The No Excuses Summit happened at the Venetian in Las Vegas July 9th-11th, 2010. It was an epic conference for internet network marketers with a speaker’s lineup that read like a Who's Who of the industry’s top producers (e.g., Mike Dillard, Todd Falcone, Jimmy Davis, and Jonathan Budd, just to name a few).

Today I want to share with you the three most powerful network marketing secrets I learned during the 3-day event.

No Excuses Summit's Top 3 Secrets to Direct Sales Success

• You only need to master 2 things to make a lot of money online in MLM.

First you must send traffic and then you must convert traffic. If you’re doing one successfully, but not the other, spend your time focusing on the weaker of the two. The clear way to win in the game of online network marketing is to become a master at generating and converting traffic into a lead and then into a sale. Don't overcomplicate the simple. There's no reason to make it any harder than this. It may not be easy, but it is simple. Figure out how to send and convert traffic successfully.

• There isn’t just one road to success.

During the No Excuses Summit we heard from 20 different speakers. Not a single one of them followed the exact same steps to achieve massive success. Everyone took a somewhat different approach. Why? Because each speaker identified their strengths and built from there. Some people are great with social media, some great with video, some great at copywriting, some skilled in article marketing, some prefer blogging. There are countless ways to generate traffic. Discover what you're good at and what works for your target market and completely master that skill before taking on something else.

• Quit making excuses.

The name of the conference was perfect—the No Excuses Summit. Jimmy Davis kicked off the event challenging each of us to write down the top three biggest excuses that are stopping us from designing the MLM of our dreams. Excuses run rampant, don't they? Excuses such as not having enough time or money, being afraid, not knowing enough about online marketing, or concerning ourselves with what others will think about us keep us tied to why we can't do this business successfully. Isn’t it time to let all of that go? Today, write out the top three excuses that are holding you back. It’s time to stop trying to build your MLM business online and just do it!

I hope you were able to gleam some wisdom and inspiration out of the three biggest lessons I walked away with from the No Excuses Summit in Vegas. There are thousands of people making their dreams come true online, and by following these tips for success, you can be one too!
