Network Marketing -- What it Really Takes

"Home Biz Specialist", Stone Evans who wrote "Track Your Journey to Home Business Success,and "How to Generate Leads automatically Using MLM Banner Advertising"
has commented on needing a plan to succeed in network marketing :-

"Here is the deal. Most people put up a freebie website and select a few affiliate programs to add to their website. Right out of the gate, most people are running for the finish line without any real plan in mind." He also stress the need for hours of reading an application before your rewards would be realized.His days were or are about 16 hours long -- longer in the early stages!

Most of us have gotten into at least one program where we expected our program to promote itself. After joining, we checked our hit counters daily for a few weeks even when we thought we were doing all we could to promote -- and realized that getting traffic to our free site(s) was going to be tough.

We tried many types of free, then not so free advertising -- spent hard-earned money
and realized the facts of life the hard way - more is required !

In time, many will learn how to make their advertising work for them, but most will earn very little money from their affiliate programs.

another quote from Stone ;"At this point in the learning curve, most people throw up their hands and walk away from their dreams in utter disgust. Instead of a walking away point, this should have convinced the struggling online entrepreneur that they were simply traveling the wrong road.

YOU MUST PLAN TO SUCCEED

From day one, you must begin to learn about the nuances of web promotion. Read everything you can get your hands on. Don't just read the hype, back it up with the opinions of others who have reviewed the same programs before you came along. Learn from their mistakes and successes."

Make daily decisions as to how much you want to depend on a pre-built program that is designed to help you to succeed, OR applying your creative powers to desigh something new . Pre-designed and complete turn-key online money-making ventures have their limitations -- they can't do everything for everyone and the significant ones may cost a lot of money.
You must select the right venture to step into.

PREPARE TO SUCCEED

Decide what you think you would want to do, and then figure out how your planned site will generate a real income.

Internet old-timers know about hundreds of corporation domains that failed toplan their activities and finances, and subsequently failed in the 2000 dot bomb experience.

"Don't blindly believe in your plan. Research others on the web who have undertaken similar business models and see if they have survived. Study your competitors in depth to learn what is working for them and what did not work for them. To better understand what has or has not worked for competitor websites, check out their time lapsed progressions using the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org" .
My note to the last quote -- I'm not sure what names e.g. owners are presented there --I looked up a couple of companies I'd been associated with including a nutrition company that tried to teach people how to sell to the tune of about $200
a month, and they both went down.
Independent plans need extensive details including a business and financial plan.
