As a 50-something baby boomer woman, I am very skeptical about marketing. But in building my network marketing business, I knew that to generate targeted leads for my MLM business, online marketing would be my best bet. But, I was not an Internet marketer. I was a network marketer.

I am so impressed with how quickly I have been able to merge the two. I now have my own "marketing merge" between network marketing and internet marketing.

MarketingMerge

IMHO, Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is changing such that if those of us who are business builders in MLM do not learn professional marketing 101, not only will we not be ahead of the trend, we will be left behind. Once upon a time, MLM Millionaires had absolutely no reason to become marketing professionals. Being a dynamic leader was enough. No longer true. In one of my last articles, Marketing Merge Magnetic Millionaires, I explain why. But here's one reason - the Internet.

The Internet Has Changed MLM Forever

It is critically important now for network marketers to be marketing online. It is the new business model for MLM...... Merging network marketing with internet marketing. No longer can network marketers ignore professional marketing strategies.

But to market online, study is required. We have to go back to school! Renegade University at the Marketing Merge Professional Level is how I did it! In just a few months, I have original content all over the World Wide Web marketing ME and my MLM biz, all day and all night all over the world, non-stop and on auto-pilot!

So, on to the next BIG thing - SEO - Search Engine Optimization. SEO is not nearly as hard to learn as it once was. One word of caution - stay real.

That being said, one of the best resources I have found is Charles Heflin's SEO20/20. The key to SEO for beginners is not to try to trick the search engines.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the hallmarks of online marketing. In Charles Heflin's SEO 20/20 Is Hindsight 20/20, I describe in detail how SEO and Heflin's "Blueprint" can magically make any of us successful in ANY market we choose to target.

Remember, your World Wide Web Space Is Like Real Estate.

Your content, your image, your "space," on the Internet is an asset that, for now, only costs time and maybe a few dollars. Setting up a web of content to establish a presence online will eventually become invaluable. Waiting may mean that by the time you get around to it, the Internet will be regulated.

Already several countries have government rules and regs that prevent free enterprise online. Do not wait. Dare to be "average." Don't be a perfectionist. Get your online MLM marketing presence established now.

Remember the number one rule - provide good content in all of your marketing online. Even if you do a web page like this one to link to good content, the reward is MORE traffic. Internet traffic is the most targeted market out there for your products and/or services. The Internet is THE best way for all professional marketers to leverage their time and money. But to gain internet traffic, you must optimize your work so that the search engines can find you. A beginner's knowledge of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all you need. So don't wait. Get started! I can help you at Renegade University.

I am so grateful for Mike Klingler's Marketing Merge, Inc. and Charles Heflin's SEO 20/20. All of the generous free web content that Mike Klingler, Charles Heflin and many others are giving us to rapidly learn Internet MLM - how can we not succeed?? !

Please, internalize and operationalize what we all want to share with you - the secret to success is learning to market online... and then finding the right MLM company to ensure your success!

One Internet MLM marketer says this, "No one knows how long we will be able to build a global business online unhindered by regulation. My guess is, not long." Actually that was me!

After tons of study into Internet marketing, I am convinced that we must act fast. Don't think about it too long. Just jump into online marketing of your MLM business now before it is too late. Fortunately, it's not that difficult to learn any more. With the second generation, Web 2.0, anyone willing to study and take the time can now have a "presence" online in no time and at zero cost.
