Internet Marketing for Network Marketers
57Why Internet Marketing for Network Marketers
Network Marketers today are flocking to the Internet to prospect for new team members. Everywhere you look online today, you will see various websites designed to attract those prospective new team members to them.
The big question you should ask though is this: Is the Internet the right place to find new team members?
If you are in Network Marketing today, you will be finding it harder than ever to sponsor good, quality people into your business opportunity . . . that is, if you are still doing things the old way.
Let me explain . . .
Recently I had a call from an old friend.
She called to say hi and made some small talk for awhile. Then she mentioned that she had just gotten involved with a new business where she could make some good money working from home. "Next Tuesday night," she explained, "there is a meeting at my place to launch my new business. Can you come? You won't believe it. This is so fantastic!"
What do you think my immediate thought was?
Naturally, like millions of people around the world, the first thought that came to mind was that she was trying to get me into her business. (I used to do the same thing.) I politely told her that I wouldn't be able to attend her meeting.
That is a typical scenario being played out all around the world every day. New Network Marketers join up in the hope of building a solid income from home. Yet, they really do not know what is involved in building a large downline team. So they follow their equally confused and lost upline sponsor's advice and organize a home meeting.
This is the way Network Marketing has been traditionally taught, right?
You build a list of everyone you know.
You invite the list to a meeting at your home.
Your upline comes and draws circles and pitches your opportunity for your guests. (Most guests don't even show up for the meeting.)
You pray and hope.
A few join.
They do not want to have to call all of their family and friends, and so your business dies a slow, painful death. This is exactly how my first, serious Network Marketing business fizzled.
Perhaps this explains why so many people are reluctant to get involved with Network Marketing . . . they don't want to have to harass their family and friends into spending their hard-earned money in joining them in business.
Well, if that is the way you think about Network Marketing, then I have some exciting news for you!
- Today, the way to market has changed for Network Marketers who are open to the new and improved ways of marketing.
- Today, the Internet and Web 2.0 technology has changed everything about marketing.
- Today, to enjoy success in Network Marketing, you can literally attract interested prospects to your opportunity from all around the world.
Just recently I was chatting with a gentleman in Australia who had built a team of 3,500 people in 27 plus countries, and he did it from his spare bedroom. How? He used the Internet and websites to attract interested prospects to him.
Imagine how different your experience of Network Marketing could be if you embraced the Internet to build your business.
No longer would you need to annoy your family and friends who, let's face it, were never going to build a big business anyway!
Success in Network Marketing is more possible today than at any time in the past.
With just a little knowledge, you can set up an automated lead generation system online that not only attracts new prospects to you, but also shares all of the information about your business opportunity or marketing system and leads these new prospects to your sign-up page.
Think about this . . .
It is possible and has happened to many people, that while you are sleeping, someone on the other side of the world could be entering their details into your lead capture system. Then automatically they receive an e-mail with information about your opportunity or marketing system. From there, they sign-up for your free report, article, or other opportunity. Thus begins the relationship . . .
Then while you are still asleep dreaming about exotic beach holidays, this person takes out their credit card and signs up as a new member on your team or joins your marketing system for free. From there, they receive a welcome e-mail with instructions on where they can go to get all of the training they need to be as successful as you.
By the time you wake up in the morning, make your coffee or protein shake, and check your email, your new team member, who you have never even met before, is on his or her way to learning the same system of attracting people to them on the Internet and building their business . . . the new way.
Your business has grown automatically using Internet technology.
How exciting does that sound?
Can you imagine the possibilities of growing a global business that leads you to an on-going stream of residual income?
This is totally possible today. You can become a Network Marketing success story if you embrace the new technologies, such as Internet Marketing and Web 2.0.
Those who continue to do things the old-fashioned way will struggle to survive as they continue to harass their family and friends one-more-time.
Don't let this be you!
Become one of the new breed of Networkers.
Naturally there is going to be a learning curve for you to get to the point where you understand Internet Marketing well enough to help you sponsor new people. Once you get past this learning curve though, you will have in your hand a powerful tool to build a global business.
The smartest thing you can do is find a mentor. Someone who already understands at least the basics of Internet Marketing and how to make it work for Network Marketers. When you find this person, you will want to join their team and work directly with them. Let them show you the ropes and learn from the mistakes they have already made.
