1. Commit to putting your opportunity / product / service in front of 10,000 eyeballs a day. It is impossible to make sales if no one is seeing your products or services.

2. For every 'money making program' you have there should be 20 forms of PREMIUM advertising. (Upgraded safelist memberships, listbuilder memberships, traffic exchanges, pay per click etc) Advertising will initially be your biggest expense. If your income program is your biggest expense, there is a 99.999999% chance you are going to fail miserably.

3. Stop blowing money on stupidity. Stupidity = The latest and greatest auto responders, alternative money makers, hyped up magic advertising systems you KNOW are not going to work, overkill training. Investing in how to guides is a good thing, don't over do it.

4. Market yourself first. I don't care what your primary method of marketing is, if you are not marketing yourself...becoming a top distributor is impossible. If you are using PREMIUM advertising and promoting affiliate links directly, you are setting yourself up for failure. There is a time and place for direct linking....PPC or premium advertising is not it.

5. Target top distributors. If your marketing system is only bringing in newbies you are going to fail. Newbies have a 95% failure rate, near zero commitment factor, and need tons of training and hand holding. By attracting and recruiting TOP distributors, you put your business on autopilot. Self branding is extremely important when attracting these high level business partners. These people know what they are doing, and only work with people who know what they are doing.

6. Professionals upgrade without hesitation. If you want to know who is serious in your business, pay attention to who upgrades. Professionals NEVER hold onto to free memberships in effective advertising systems or tools. They will ALWAYS upgrade, usually immediately. Taking the OTO's to save time and money.
   

A lot of this becomes common sense as you begin building your business. You will be able to better identify who is serious and who is not serious in your sphere of influence. You will almost NEVER see a professionals true primary business unless you are a close and proven business partner. Pro's are always qualifying by selling marketing tools, advertising, and techniques to 'sort' the newbies and wishful thinkers from the serious minded professionals. Newbies market their primary opportunities and beg for sign ups hoping to hit that home run. That is the difference.

In order to become a Top Distributor, one needs to understand how a top distributor thinks, and to attract like minded people into their sphere of influence. Once you understand this, making money becomes extremely easy online and literally everything you touch turns to Gold.
