I've had the honor of interviewing Ray Higdon five times for MLM Nation's podcast.

Each episode has provided incredible insights into success, leadership, branding, and the power of network marketing.

Ray Higdon shared his expertise on branding, rejection, leadership, and leveraging social media for success in network marketing.

Who is Ray Higdon?

Ray Higdon is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, and one of the top trainers in network marketing. He was once in foreclosure before becoming the #1 income earner in his network marketing company. Today, he runs a multimillion-dollar coaching and training business, helping entrepreneurs build successful online brands and businesses.

How Ray Higdon Started in Network Marketing

Ray Higdon’s journey in network marketing began after he lost everything in the 2008 real estate crash. He was over a million dollars in debt and in foreclosure when a friend introduced him to MLM. He decided to go all in, and within five months, he was making $10,000 a month. By his seventh month, he was earning $40,000, and he eventually became the top income earner in his company.

The Turning Point for Ray Higdon

Ray’s biggest shift came when he started tracking his numbers and focusing on rejection. Inspired by the book Go for No, he set a goal to get 20 rejections a day. This mindset helped him rapidly scale his business. Additionally, he began producing daily video content, which positioned him as an authority in the industry.

The Worst Moment in Network Marketing for Ray Higdon

Ray’s toughest challenge came when his company shut down, wiping out his entire income overnight. Instead of quitting, he focused on rebuilding by creating a personal brand. This experience taught him the importance of building multiple income streams and branding himself rather than relying solely on a company.

The Power of Branding and Social Media

Ray believes that branding yourself is far more powerful than branding your company. He emphasizes:

  • Creating content that solves people’s problems.
  • Positioning yourself as an expert.
  • Using social media to attract prospects instead of chasing them.

The Million Dollar Question for Ray Higdon

If Ray had to start all over again with no contacts, he would:

  • Post three reels a day and go live daily.
  • Get 20 rejections a day to build momentum.
  • Network online and attend events to create connections quickly.

Why Network Marketers Struggle

Ray teaches that most people fail because they overcomplicate the process. He emphasizes:

  • Saying less to more people.
  • Creating curiosity instead of resistance.
  • Consistency over intensity.

Ray Higdon’s Faith Journey

Ray’s life transformed when he embraced his Christian faith. Initially focused on money and success, he later found greater purpose by integrating faith into his business and personal life.
