Striking gold in MLM is not easy unless you work very hard to build networks. Execute a small plan and you will get small results. But if you play it big, the risk will pay off when you find the right kind of people to network with.

It is obvious that if you work together with other MLM list builders, you can make more money with the same amount of work.

However, successful MLM builders are never generous with their list. They will ignore your request to do any ad swap or bulk email blast if they see no benefit to them at all. So what is the best way to tap into their inner circle?

Firstly, dont act like an wannabe. Most network marketing leaders are so busy with their marketing activities and taking care of their downlines that they barely have any time left to deal with every single wannabe that grovels for their time. It is a big turn off so make sure you try and carry yourself in a very professional way.

Next, if you cant become their friends directly, always try and get to them through their various networks and contacts. For example, if your target leader is a very good friend of a particular marketer, you can try and network with him first, become his friend, work on projects with him and when the time is right, bridge the connections. It is sort of like a teenage guy going after a girl way out of his league, but he can succeed if he becomes close friends with HER friends and try and wedge his way into her inner circle.

One more way to ensure that you will have successful joint ventures is to observe the following tips.

Never ask for a joint venture opportunity at the last minute. People are busy and they are most probably not going to re-arrange their schedules or do special favors for complete strangers.

When you make your proposal for a joint-venture, make sure your products are related to their niches and provide added value to what they are offering. Marketing leaders will not want to dent their credibility with your poor quality products.

You can also subscribe to their mailing lists, and REPLY directly to their newsletters using the RE subject line of the newsletter issue. This will surely grab the attention of the list builder.

You should never be shy to ASK! The worst scenario is you will get ignored. Always remember that you will miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
