One of the first questions to come to mind when a newbie gets to internet marketing is “Can I do it part time, because I have a full time job right now?”
It’s definitely a legitimate concern because you are not paid just for doing something in the internet business full time. The idea behind any opportunity for self-employment, and internet marketing is certainly one of the best ones, is not how much TIME you spend on it. Let’s look realistically at any job. Your employer is not interested in keeping you full-time if the volume of work is just for 3 hours a day, or if you can do your share of work faster than in conventional 8 hours. You are paid by your PRODUCTIVITY in a certain period of time. The more you produce, the higher the payment. Of course, production is tightly related to time that is allocated for a certain task. It is very unlikely that one can sell 5 cars an hour – a month would be a more realistic deadline even for a good seller. Consequently, you can’t hope to make 20,000 dollars a month in the mlm business just because you put in it 20 hours of day, 7 days a week. Time is just one of the ways to MEASURE your productivity and it’s not the most objective one.
Another assessment tool for the internet marketing business that tells by far much more about how you work is the number of leads you generate and the number of prospects you can sponsor in a period of that time. If you know how to generate an average of 10 leads in an hour of work, or 5 new prospects every 10 hours of concerted effort you put into your internet business, I will say that you can do it part time or full time because your productivity allows for that. On the other hand, it you are able to only come up with 1 lead a week and 1 prospect a month, you will have a hard time with internet marketing doesn’t matter whether it’s part-time or full-time.
So the keyword in your business is PRODUCTIVITY. And here are steps that you need to take if you want to become more productive and, consequently, successful doing internet marketing part-time:
- Change your attitude to work. Employed people think in terms of time: full-time/part-time; businessman think of how much they do and analyze the RESULTS of their work. What have done in these 10 hours a week? How many good leads have I generated this week? How many prospects have I sponsored? And finally, the question you have been working on: HOW MUCH MONEY CAME TO MY ACCOUNT?
- Find an experienced marketing mentor who will be willing to practically lead you through the whole process of internet marketing with some tangible final results. It’s better to see once how it’s done than to hear about it ten times.
- Define your strengths and weaknesses. A mentor could potentially be of great help here as well.
- Time is like money. If fact, it can become your money. If you invest in Zimbabwean currency don’t be surprised when you go broke. You could have invested millions of dollars but the problem is not in what you invest but how you go about it. You need to invest in quality time. Get rid of any distractions, even phone calls and family. Only focused time with a concentrated attention to what you do, whether you talk to your prospects, write content or manage your mlm system will eventually count. Organize the time you have decided to invest in your internet-based mlm business in the best possible way.
- OUTSOURCE. There are many things to internet marketing and you can’t be good at everything. If you want it to be part-time, the best solution is to understand what needs your foremost attention and what can be managed through outsourcing. Discover your strengths and outsource your weaknesses because they could be somebody else’s field of expertise that will improve your overall productivity. You can even find help among family, friends or students in your neighborhood who would be willing to help you. Just check them out. You are the boss and bosses don’t do everything themselves.
So my answer to the question: YES, it is possible to succeed in mlm being involved in it part-time but you need to know what to do and how to do it.
