Internet Network Marketing – The only way to do business.
With out a doubt, using the internet to grow your network marketing is the smartest thing any home based business owner can do.
The old school methods of bugging friends and family, home presentations, hotel conferences, placing business cards all over town and buying leads are not effective methods for marketing your business. If you are still employing these methods to grow your network marketing business, STOP! Right now.
There are far too many options for the budding network marketer to learn effective internet marketing skills, some good and some not so good. But before we delve into your options, lets answer a more important question:
So what does internet network marketing entail?
A number of things, really. But all methods can be classified into two basic categories: Free and Paid.
Paid methods include:
- Banner advertising
- Pay Per Click on major search engines and the content network
- CPA networks
- Ezine Advertising
Free methods include (but are not limited to):
- Blogging – Blogger, Wordpress, Weebly, Tumblr
- Article Marketing – Ezine, GoArticles
- Video Marketing – You Tube, Meta Cafe, Flickr
- Social Networking – My Space, Facebook
- Social Bookmarking – Stumblupon, Digg
- Forum Marketings – Pick a niche and there is a forum for it!
- Free Classifieds – US Free Ads
Now I do see many, many MLM’ers and network marketers out “there” on the internet marketing using the various methods I just listed above but SO many of them are going about it all wrong.
It has become a tug of war or a shouting match to see who can boast about their compensation plan or fabulous product. So many talk about how easy it is to grow your organization, “All you need is four people, and if those four people…”blah, blah, blah.
It’s all crap.
When people are online searching for a home based business opportunity, that are not looking for someone trying to pitch them a product or a compensation plan. They are looking for a person to help them, they are thinking “What makes you different from all of the other people promoting the same exact business?”, or “What’s in it for me?”.
You need to find that balance between being yourself, delivering value and promoting your business. It is an art form, a skill that takes thought and practice.
Those of us that have found real success utilizing internet network marketing have done so by following these simple rules:
- Deliver real value to your audience
- Lead from the front
- Be a student of internet marketing
- TAKE ACTION
It is that simple, its not easy, but its not rocket science either.
