How Mike Gostola Started in Network Marketing
He had no idea what network marketing was when he first got started.
He was an entrepreneur, running a construction business and living a busy life.
Over time, he noticed he was gaining weight and blamed his wife for shrinking his shirts.
A friend shared a product with him, and he decided to try it.
The results were amazing.
Mike started sharing his experience, not realizing he was already building a business.
At first, he ignored the network marketing side.
But when he started making money, he and his wife Carla began to take it seriously.
The Turning Point in Their Business
Mike and Carla were doing well, but they still saw network marketing as a side thing.
Then their upline leaders moved to a new company.
Mike and Carla followed them, only to realize they had made a huge mistake.
The new company turned out to be a scam.
They lost money, and their team members were left with useless products.
Carla was ready to quit.
But Mike had seen the potential of network marketing and refused to give up.
He started researching better ways to build the business.
That’s when he discovered attraction marketing and attended the No Excuses event.
Everything changed after that.
The Worst Moment in Network Marketing
Losing trust and credibility was one of the hardest things Mike and Carla went through.
After joining a company that turned out to be a scam, they felt defeated.
They had brought people in, and now those people had wasted their money.
It was a dark time, and Carla decided she was done.
But Mike couldn’t let go.
He knew network marketing worked when done the right way.
That belief kept him going, even when everything seemed to fall apart.
Why Mike Gostola Chose TikTok for Network Marketing
He knew there had to be a better way to build the business.
He didn’t want to chase friends and family anymore.
He learned about attraction marketing and started using TikTok.
In just 30 days, he gained 100,000 followers and had hundreds of people reaching out to him.
He realized TikTok was the perfect way to attract people without pushing the business on them.
Soon, his team was bringing in thousands of new enrollments every month.
They even sold out company products just from TikTok marketing.
The Million Dollar Question for Mike Gostola
If he had to start over, what would he do?
His answer is simple.
He would go straight to TikTok and create a profile in his niche.
He would post three videos a day and focus on getting 1,000 followers as fast as possible.
Then, he would go live daily, sharing value and connecting with his audience.
Success in network marketing comes from building relationships, and TikTok is the fastest way to do it.
