Stop Chasing in Network Marketing: Farmers, Not Hunters

October 20, 2026by Bill Feaverin Getting Leads

I farmed my whole life, and chasing never made a single thing grow.

You plant the seed. You tend it. Then you harvest what comes up. Nobody ever ran down a field and talked it into producing.

That's how I look at network marketing now, and it's why I made a short video today. It's three steps that should end the chasing for good. Watch it here, then read the steps below.

Step one: Plant

Start as a customer and actually use the product every month. I do that with Zilara's liquids, powders and teas.

The product is your soil. If you skip it, you may be trying to harvest a field you never planted.

Step two: Tend

Share what you're honestly noticing, and teach what you learn, without pitching your friends and your family.

That steady, low-pressure sharing may be what gets people curious instead of dodging your calls.

Step three: Harvest

Let the people who raise their hand come to you. Then show them how the business side works.

For many folks, that's when building a team starts to feel natural instead of pushy.

Two questions to ask before you plan anything

  • Would I buy this product even with no business attached?
  • Could I share it without chasing anyone?

If either answer is no, that field probably won't grow, no matter how hard you work at it.

I'll say this plainly, my friend. This is not the fast way to build. Farming never was.

If you'd like an honest read on whether your field will grow, leave your answers to those two questions in the comments on the video on YouTube.
