How Frazer Brookes Got Started in Network Marketing
Frazer Brookes grew up in a network marketing family. His dad, Simon Brookes, earned millions in commissions, and Frazer saw both the good and bad sides of the business.
At first, he wanted nothing to do with MLM. He thought he could never be like his dad, who was a natural extrovert.
For four years, he said no. But then he realized that if he did not try, he might miss out on a life of freedom and adventure.
So he finally said yes and decided to build his business using social media. Even when people told him it would not work, he stuck with it.
The Turning Point for Frazer Brookes in Network Marketing
Frazer Brookes started building online before it was popular.
Everyone told him that network marketing was a face-to-face business. They said he needed to meet people in person to succeed.
But Frazer saw a different way. He believed that network marketing could be built screen to screen, not just belly to belly.
He proved the doubters wrong and grew an organization of 300,000 customers in under five years.
The Worst Moment in Network Marketing for Frazer Brookes
Even with all his success, Frazer faced major challenges.
He dealt with negativity from people who did not believe in his methods. He got hate from others in the industry who thought online recruiting was a scam.
But the hardest part was feeling alone.
Unlike traditional MLM leaders who had local teams, Frazer was building online. There were no in-person meetings or group events to keep him motivated.
So he had to find his own way to stay inspired. He made Facebook Lives his weekly adrenaline boost. That kept him going.
The Big Topic Frazer Brookes Shared on the Podcast
Frazer talked about the power of consistency.
He believes that success is not about doing something once. It is about showing up every day, even when you do not feel like it.
He shared his “one-to-one” rule. If you do 30 minutes of personal development, you must do 30 minutes of income-producing activity.
Too many people get stuck watching training after training but never take action. Frazer says learning is great, but nothing happens until you do the work.
The Million Dollar Question for Frazer Brookes
If Frazer Brookes had to start all over again in a new place where no one knew him, what would he do?
He said he would go straight to Facebook Messenger.
Social media changes all the time, but conversations will always matter. He would start messaging people, building relationships, and finding those who are open to network marketing.
His advice? Stop waiting for the perfect plan. Just start talking to people.
Lessons from Simon Chan and Frazer Brookes
“Because things are easier now, it’s also harder”- Simon Chan
If you want to be successful in the market, you shouldn’t be doing what everyone else is doing…. You should do something different.
Simon Chan got this concept from Set Godin's book, The Purple Cow. He noticed that there were a lot of videos done by network marketers but no one was vetting to find out who the actual leaders were with results.
MLM Nation Podcast was birthed for this purpose, to provide a platform for leaders in the industry where they can share their wisdom and experience to help other network marketers.
It is human nature to quit, and just like anything else, the average podcasters quit after 6 episodes and there were two times when Simon Chan was tempted to quit.
Instead he kept going and has interview 548 leaders on MLM Nation Podcast over the last 4 years.
How MLM Nation Started
Simon Chan recruited himself into Network Marketing after doing his own research over 3 months, but didn’t have a lot of success at the beginning because he was not consistent.
Then he started working with a mentor who was pushing him to be consistent, making him do things he didn’t want to do and changing his habits.
Simon has been building online since 2004 from Google Pay Per Click ads. He lived in Los Angeles but all his friends and people he knew were in New York since he was originally from there.

Key Lessons from Frazer Brookes
- Consistency is everything. Success is not about one big moment. It comes from small actions repeated over time.
- Social media works, but you still have to talk to people. Posting is not enough. You need to start conversations and build relationships.
- Confidence comes from action. Do not wait to feel ready. Take action, and confidence will follow.
Your Action Steps
1. Set a schedule and stick to it. Choose a daily action that moves your business forward and do it every day.
2. Use social media the right way. Do not just post and hope people come to you. Start conversations and engage with people.
