Network Marketing books are somewhat overlooked nowadays since you can easily find electronic information on the web, and much of it is free. But many of us (myself included) still like to sit down and open a real book with a real cover and turn the pages – something that you can hold on to and put on your shelf.

Another interesting thing that I’ve noticed is that books on Network Marketing seem to share a little bit more on attitude and mindset, whereas the information that you find online tends to cover the more of the strategical and technical aspects of network marketing.

And if you haven’t already discovered this, your mindset is half the battle (if not more) when it comes to succeeding in Network Marketing.

So, what are some of the most talked about Network Marketing books in the industry?

Pretty much anyone would agree with me in recommending the books by Robert Kiyosaki. Perhaps his most famous is called “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. As you can gather from the title, the book is about how most of us learn the “poor Dad” philosophy that is taught to us by our middle class upbringings while “rich kids” learn a whole different set of rules from their rich dads.

Among other lessons which are must-learns for network marketers, Rober Kiyosaki’s book teaches us that we need to start thinking like rich, successful people in order to be rich and successful people.

Kiyosaki has also written several other books including “Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing”, “Rich Kid Smart kid”, “Cashfow Quadrant” and the “Rich Dad’s Business School”. Robert Kiyosaki’s books focus greatly on attitude which most successful marketers will say was the key to their success.

“How to Sell Network Marketing Without Fear, Anxiety or Losing Your Friends”, by Michael Oliver, is actually one of my personal favorite network marketing books because it gives a great deal of attention to the art of listening which is a weak point for many of us that are involved in network marketing (or in any profession for that matter).

Listening is something that all successful salespeople have mastered to some extent.

This book offers an understanding about how being true to yourself and to your team and potential customers and downline will lead you down the path to success and well-being.

“The Ultimate Guide to Network Marketing” by Dr. Joe Rubino is very interesting because it actually features the industry’s 37 top income-earners who share their so-called secrets to success. Get truth, testimonials and tips from industry success stories.

On the more “how-to” side of network marketing books, there is “Your First Year in Network Marketing” by Mark and Rene Reid Yarnell which offers more action-oriented strategies on how to overcome those first-year obstacles and position yourself for lifelong success.

“Network Marketing for Dummies” by Zig Ziglar is sort of a combination of the motivational inspiration needed for network marketing and the more strategic and methodical  issues. This book has received mixed reviews: many are on the positive side but some of the more experienced network marketers were not overly enthusiastic about the book.

Richard Poe has published 4 Network Marketing books: “Wave 3: The New Era in Network Marketing”, “The Wave 3 Way to Building Your Downline”, “Wave 4: Network Marketing in the 21st Century” and “The Wave 4 Way to Building Your Downline”.

“How to Build a Large Successful Multi-Level Marketing Organization” by Don Failla is on the top of many network markters’ lists – and something they require their downline to read.

The last one I will mention in this article is called “The New Professionals: The Rise of Network Marketing as the Next Major Profession”, written by Charles W. King and James W. Robinson.

Due to the growing internet economy coupled with the economic crisis, the numbers of people turning to network marketing are definitely on the rise and this book goes into more detail on that.

There are many, many Network Marketing books that can offer you the solutions you are looking for when it comes to succeeding in network marketing. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the computer screen and do your studying the old fashioned way!
