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.

This goes without saying that when you try and network with other MLM list builders, you will make more money with the same amount of work.

However, MLM list builders are very protective with their lists. They will not do an ad swap or a promotional email blast just because you ask them to. So what is the best way to tap into their inner circle?

Firstly, don’t 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 can’t 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’.

Another 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 pitch your joint venture offer, make sure you offer good and valuable products related to their niches. If they teach their downlines about list building, you will have better chances if you ask them to promote good list building tools. Most important of all, you have to make sure your products provide good value to their subscribers.

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 definitely grab the attention of the list builder.

Remember, at the end of the day, JUST ASK. The worst that can happen is that they will say no or ignore you… but it is worth it because you will always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
