Leverage the Power Players - How to Get the Most Out of "Being the Least"

Global Domains and any other network affiliate program, company or corporation will always have heavy-hitters. These are the guys who are getting the awards, the commendations and the big bonus checks. Considering they usually make up somewhere around 1% of the total population of any given operation, it's understandable that some folks get jealous or frustrated with their own performance. First thing I have to say about that is, "Don't get down on yourself because you're not there yet. Everything comes with time and maybe it just isn't your time yet." Next thing I have to say is even more profound: "Don't get mad, get even."

See, there ARE people making a boatload of money off of you no matter WHERE you go. Every time you go out and get Pringles, there's some dude running that corporation, sitting on his yacht eating caviar because you paid 5 or 6 bucks for something that he was able to mass produce for cents or MAYBE a dollar. That goes for EVERY industry and EVERY product.

So what makes internet marketing different?

Two big things - first, you get to SEE the person who's making the money off of your happy lil' butt. That means that even if you don't like that you have to pay for someone to get rich, at least you'll know who that guy is, for better or for worse. Secondly, internet marketing is a duplicatable system, so when other people are making buku money because you got involved with their team, it's usually because there's someone that THEY paid all THEIR money to for a long enough period of time until they got noticed by the general crowd and began making THEIR big money on... well... us.

So, if you know who's getting your money then you kinda become the consumer of your own boss. Which is cool. I like to know who I'm listening to and paying. Also, you're paying this guy because you joined the network under him. He's been in it longer and he knows more about how to get the program jump-started towards profits. He'll do everything he can to make your system like his own, (in that it'll be profitable) because when you profit, HE profits even more! So this is what I've found to be the best scenario.

If you've got a leaderboard on your system, like with GDI, you can see who the top ranking guy is at all times. You can also get a feel for position 2 and 3. If you have the funds to do it, a GREAT idea is joining the program with two seperate accounts (if it's allowed) under teams of both the number one guy and the number 2 or 3 guy (shoot for whoever you think is going to listen to your concerns). When you've got two super-human marketers that you're working with, you get all access to the tips and tricks from BOTH and you can develop a middle ground strategy that doesn't step on anyone's feet while also finding out which individual between the two is really working towards your success. Generally whoever helps you the most will be the person that yeilds the better results from your marketing efforts. Sometimes though, money makes all the difference. Some uplines have even been known to buy leads for their downlines that haven't filled their level 1 with anybody. This could be because the person paying for the leads will still get paid on referrals you bring in. For example, if I have a guy in my upline, three levels up, if I bring in 20 people on a level 1 basis then that's 20 more people in my upline's 5th level deep. So long as they still get paid for those joining, there's still a vested interest in investing.
