UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

The first challenge that needs to be dealt with is the unrealistic expectations that are set about building your legitimate network marketing business online. There are so many “wolves with sheep’s clothing” that distract network marketers with their “something for nothing” philosophy.

If you're going to be successful in building your network marketing business online, you must learn to identify these distractions and avoid them.

HYPE

The biggest distraction that you will face is hype. You will see outrageous claims like “We’ll show you how to sponsor 10-20 distributors a day.” If it sounds too good to be true, ask for verification or assume it isn’t true.

Another common theme you will see online is “We do all the work for you.” Think about it; if they really do all the work for you, why do they need you? Also, even if they truly do the work for you, what happens if they quit the business? How are you going to successfully build the business without them if they are doing all the work for you?

ONGOING TRAINING

Now that you have identified and avoided all the hype and distractions, you'll need good sources of information so you can learn how to successfully build your network marketing business online. There are a number of different strategies and approaches that you can take to build your business online.
