Empowerment

Much of the MLM world is focused on empowering your downline.  However, to accomplish this you must provide the tools of empowerment. 

If someone in your downline asks what they should do to build their page rank and you tell them to write articles and submit them, is that really empowering them?  What if they have no clue about article writing let alone where to submit one?  Telling someone who has never written an article that this is what he or she needs to do is only going to put another obstacle in his or her path. 

A better option is to tell them they need to write articles and provide some resources for the basics of how to write an article.  Not providing this simple type of resource has the ability to make your team member feel trapped and anyone who feels trapped is not very productive.

When asked by your downline for help on any subject regarding business growth, take the time to help find them find solid resources.  Doing so portrays you as the expert and helps your down line achieve their goals.
