The Disgusting Side of Network Marketing (And How to Do It the Right Way)

Why Most Network Marketing Feels Gross

Let’s be real: a lot of network marketing strategies make us want to barf in the corner.

Whether you’re new to the industry or seasoned, chances are you’ve been bombarded with messages from people you don’t even know.

“Hey girl, want to earn some extra income alongside what you’re already doing?”  

Sound familiar?

And then the follow-ups come… day two, day five, day ten.

No conversation, no connection, just a relentless push to get a yes.

It’s frustrating for the person receiving the messages and exhausting for the person sending them.

It’s not human.
It’s not professional.
And it’s not effective.

The problem is that so many marketers are being taught this by their uplines or leaders, and it perpetuates the cycle.

They’re chasing numbers, checking boxes, and missing the human touch that makes network marketing work.

Here’s the kicker: network marketing only works when people know, like, and trust you.

Without that foundation, every cold DM, every spammy post, and every pushy invite is just repelling the very people you want to attract.

You may be thinking, “Well, this is how my upline told me to do it.”

And that’s the problem.

The industry hasn’t evolved for the majority of people who don’t have massive networks or influence yet.

Feeling gross about the process?

That’s your gut telling you something.

You’re meant for a better way – a smarter, human, and more effective way to build your network marketing business without sacrificing your dignity or your audience’s trust.

The Secret Nobody Teaches About Building Influence

Here’s the part nobody teaches: network marketing has always been about influence.

It’s about who you are, not just what you sell.

Your success isn’t just determined by scripts, checklists, or blasting hundreds of messages.

It’s determined by whether you can create real influence with your audience – the ability to connect with people so they want to say yes because they trust you and know you care.

Most leaders don’t know how to teach this.

They got their results years ago when they already had massive networks or influence, so they hand down methods that worked for them – sending DMs, posting generic content, or pushing opportunity messages.

But here’s the truth: if you don’t have the network, the audience, or the influence your leader had, those strategies won’t work.

They are not duplicatable.

That’s why so many people struggle, feel frustrated, and quit before they ever see real success.

The solution? Build influence from scratch.

Stop relying on someone else’s network.
Stop copying their exact moves.

Focus on becoming a person people want to follow.

Serve your audience, engage with them, and position yourself as someone who provides value first.

When people feel seen, heard, and understood, your influence grows naturally, and your business grows with it.

The reality is simple: no influence = no duplicatable success.

Influence is the currency of network marketing.

It’s what allows you to reach more people, attract your ideal team members, and build a business that lasts – without resorting to gross, pushy tactics.

Humans Don’t Change, Your Strategy Must

Here’s the universal truth about network marketing: humans don’t change.

People still want to connect, be seen, and build relationships.

That’s why the industry itself hasn’t changed in decades – it’s the tools that evolve, not the principles.

Whether it was home parties, networking events, or social media today, the know, like, and trust principle is still king.

What has changed is the speed and scale at which you can build influence.

Social media gives you the ability to reach hundreds, even thousands, of people without leaving your home.

But the strategy must evolve.

You can’t just send 100 DMs and hope for a yes.

You must serve, engage, and attract your perfect audience.

Build your personal brand, deliver value, and show up as a real human.

This is why the Beaches focus on audience-first marketing.

We teach people to brand themselves, not their company, and to provide content and value that attracts the right people.

Build your influence, show up consistently, and the right people will come to you.

That’s the smarter way.
That’s the professional way.

That’s the way that actually works today.

Stop Chasing, Start Attracting

The secret to network marketing success?

Stop chasing and start attracting.

Treat your audience like humans, not dollar signs.

Serve them, show up authentically, and let them see your expertise and energy.

No spammy messages, no chasing, no “yes, pity sign-ups.”
