Starting out online is exciting but can also be daunting. If done right, the internet can absolutely explode your online business but there are so so many traps that are really easy to fall into.
And I’ve been there and made the mistakes so you don’t have to!
I could have the made a list way bigger than just 3 mistakes but these are the ones that are really at the forefront of my mind today.
So here goes…
1. And this one is HUGE…. Thinking that people will be interested in your opportunity
This is something that I see all the time (and something that I have done myself when I started out) particularly on Facebook.
You need to understand that people don’t care about your MLM or your opportunity. Spamming your wall or even worse, the walls of other people and groups will not get you noticed for the right reasons. You are just going to annoy people!
Social media marketing and in particular Facebook marketing can grow your business beyond recognition but it has to be DONE RIGHT! You have to position yourself in such a way that you are leading with value.

2. Getting distracted from your primary goal
So obvious but also a big problem if you are working on the internet – the internet is HUGE! Getting distracted on the internet is easy so you have to have FOCUS…
What is your primary goal?… To get more leads of course! This is absolutely key along with leading with value - two things you should always keep in your mind when working.

3. Pretending to be something you are not
I talked about leading with value and you may have also learned that you need to position yourself as a leader.
Many come from the ‘fake it ’til you make it’ school of thought but you have to be VERY careful with this approach. If you are making outrageous claims about your earnings, lead generation and it is all a load of rubbish, you are subconsciously sabotaging your business as you are not congruent.
Being incongruent means that you are in conflict with yourself. You have said something that is not true and so you are fearful that you will get found out and it is this fear of being found out as a fraud that will sabotage your business.
Instead, focus on what you do know and what genuine value you can give. Very often, it is not how much you know but what you do with that knowledge. Believe in yourself and you can guarantee that what you offer is of value to at least one person.
To your unlimited success

Hey Becky,
Having been in the industry now for seven long years I have seen it all and shamefully admit done it all to even the three points you mentioned above.
Its excellent that you chose to cover these three very common and big mistakes that every newbie online makes and are as you mentioned still making.
Great Post
