There’s been a bit of talk going on this week about leadership and being a leader in network marketing. I’m sure we’d all agree that a leader is someone that stands out from the crowd, even when they don’t really mean to.
True leaders can be picked out from a room full of people. Have you ever had someone walk up to you and say, “Hey, I’ve got a question and you look like the person in charge, so I’ll ask you.”
If you’re a leader, you’ve probably experienced this, even in the most random places. Leaders have an air about them. Leaders attract other people, they will come seeking you out.
So, how can you become a leader in network marketing? I’m assuming you’re wondering how to do that since you’re still reading this post
The easiest way to be seen as a leader is to stand out from the crowd. Now, by standing out, I don’t mean that you should look like a fool and draw that kind of attention to yourself. You’re still leading, but you’re leading the wrong way.
Here’s 5 ways you can easily start to stand out from the crowd and start becoming a leader to others.
Way #1 – Start Blogging
Unless you’ve been asleep for the last 6 years, you know that every leader that has an online presence has a blog. And that’s not just reserved to the network marketing arena. It’s everywhere. Your blog is your “nerve center” and the platform that you stand on and shout to the masses. Get started blogging today if you haven’t already.
Way #2 – Start Creating Videos
I still can’t believe there aren’t more people doing online video. The tools that are available now are so cheap and so easy to use, anyone can do it. ANYONE. Start creating some quality videos that provide value to others and you get +5 leadership points. Learn how to market your videos well and you get a +2 melee bonus and the coveted Iron Chainmail Shirt of Money Making added to your collection.
Way #3 – Be everywhere
Want to really start to lead in the network marketing niche? Be everywhere in that niche. Find every popular blog. Subscribe to it. Add comments, tweet posts, share on Facebook. Get on the forums and add your thoughts. Not spam, but thoughts. I thought we’d all have been tired of spam by now, but most of us don’t seem to be. Understand the tools that are out there that will allow you to be in many places at one time without having to do a bunch of extra work. Then, get out there.
Way #4 – Point the way
Use your network of content to point people where you want them to go. People want to be lead. They crave to be lead. They want someone to tell them what to do next. Be that person, show them the way. They will follow.
Way #5 – Take Massive Action
It’s fine to start a blog. It’s good that you’re creating videos. Great step if you’re starting to show up everywhere in your market and that you’re pointing the way that people should go. But you’ve got to take action. Massive action if you want to see real results. Don’t post one time to your blog, post often. Don’t leave one comment on one blog, comment on many. Don’t put your video in one place, upload it to every stinkin’ video site you can find.
Massive action brings massive results and brings you into that leadership position much, much faster.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the trackback!
The 5 tips that you just describe are very important to stand out from the crowd. We all know that there is a lot of noise going on in the crowd. However, it doesn't take a whole lot to stand out. Anyone that follows that outline will be part of the 5%.
Have a great weekend…

Absolutely Josh! Basically, anyone that makes a decision to do anything other than spam people constantly about their opportunity is going to stand out like a sore thumb.
In this case, a sore thumb is exactly what you want to be!
Have a great weekend yourself!

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the trackback!
I'm a firm believer that leadership requires these 5 different ways and what I talked about on my post, where anyone can become a leader. It's just a matter of who's up for the challenge. Glad to see you are.
Have a great weekend,

These are some very great starting points for those people in MLM who don't intend having a full on website. The above points you have mentioned are more than enough for anyone to generate a presence that will help them stand out from the rest. Great stuff mate!

Mike,
The rest of the points don’t happen without #5 Take Massive Action. I think that’s where so many fall short – they don’t want to put in the work it requires.
I agree starting a blog is really important. That’s just the beginning – the next step is generating traffic to your blog.
Great tips.
Connie
Too true Connie! So many people think that just because they put up a couple of blog posts that the world will magically come to their door. This is definitely not a “build it and they will come” situation. You gotta go out there and bring them to you.
Thanks for dropping by!

The best way to rule is be everywhere and try to show off as many things you can because this will indirectly help you to make new friends and a faith in community
