Most network marketers join a MLM opportunity having the best of intentions. However, since the education that they receive from their companies focuses on their product and compensation plan they never learn how to market effectively. This leads to a success rate that is dismal at best. Some statistics say that fewer than 3% of people who join a network marketing business ever generate a liveable wage.
Network marketing on the Internet has the potential to dramatically improve the success rate of those wanting to build a business.
Here are 3 ways that the Internet can improve your chances for success:
Puts marketing back into the equation.
Old methods include cold calling and prospecting anyone and everyone which is the equivalent of a volvo mechanic going door to door in search of new customers. It also puts you in a position of desperation.
Marketing on the internet results in building a web of content that is specific for your niche market. By speaking directly to an audience that is looking for what you are offering and meeting their needs you will attract lots of serious potential prospects.
In addition, since success at network marketing is a numbers game – with many traffic generation methods in place, you will be in front of thousands and potentially millions of people. No more need to join multiple networking groups to always be in front of new people.
Takes rejection out of the process of building your MLM business.
Because no one likes rejection this is a huge obstacle to building a network marketing business. Using the Internet potential customers opt in to your list and others move on. As good as your product is not everyone in your warm market thinks they need it. You must identify who your target market is, find out what their needs are and then build content that addresses those needs and then they will come to you. No more chasing people who have no interest in what you have to offer.
Offering value makes you stand above the crowd.
To be successful and stand out above the rest you must offer value, lots and lots of value. Many network marketers move to the internet but don’t revise their approach. They continue to pitch their deal.
Offering value is giving without expecting anything in return. It might look like giving away an ebook that you develop that gives away your most worthwhile lead generation secret. Or a newsletter series that educates your potential customer on your best kept nutrition secrets.
This results in trust and relationship building. You’ll stand out from the rest of the crowd. At the right time, when your prospect is ready to buy they will be more likely to buy from you rather than a someone with whom they have no relationship.
The Internet has levelled the playing field for network marketers who are willing to go outside their comfort zone and learn a multitude of no cost and low cost lead generation methods. In the process, you can identify your niche market where people are truly and actively seeking to buy your product.
The days of prospecting anyone and everyone are numbered. Let’s face it the Internet is here to stay and is increasingly becoming a part of all our lives. if you see this fact and position yourself to learn marketing startegies on the Internet before the masses you will be greatly rewarded and experience network marketing success despite the odds!

What is Network Marketing Really About?
December 21st, 2009I don’t know about you, but something about the terms “network marketing” and “multi-level marketing (MLM)” just scares me a little. When I think “network”, I think “people”, and when I think “people”, I think “yikes”! This is an internet business I’m involved in – not a brick-and-mortar business where I have to deal with people!? Well, the good news for all of us non-people people is that it’s true – you can be involved in an online network marketing or MLM business without having to deal with people face-to-face. But it’s also true that building a network of people in your business that you communicate with either face-to-face, on the phone, or via email can get your business booming and can create a lifetime of wealth for you and those on your team – both financially, and personally. What is a network marketing business all about anyway and how does it differ from a traditional retail business?
Network marketing is really all about relationships, partnerships, and joint ventures with the organization you are involved with – Success University to use my own example – as well as the customers, affiliates, or down-lines that will distribute that organization’s products and/or services. In this way, it really is a people business because you have to choose the people you will work with on your team, and nurture those relationships through constant communication to ensure the success of your entire team. Being successful yourself starts with being in love with what you do, and being in love with your products and services. The best network marketers know their products and services inside and out, and they truly believe in them, and in the organization they represent. You don’t have to be in love with your team, but you do have to love them by showing that you care just as much about their success as you care about your own.
Why choose network marketing over a traditional retail sales business? The choice is really yours because some people just prefer direct product sales for big- ticket items and that’s just the way they are. But there are many advantages to network marketing that far surpass the advantages of traditional sales. When you sell products, you may have to spend a lot of money on your inventory. Finding people to join you in this venture can be troublesome, and you won’t make any significant residual income doing this. When you get involved in multi-level marketing on the other hand, you may sell smaller-ticket items, but products that people tend to re-order, which in the long-term can result in much larger profits than the traditional business. You will get a significant residual income being a network marketer, and when you achieve your own success, you become a teacher to those on your team, sharing your ideas on how to reach important goals and dreams.
When you get to a point where you can help others understand what network marketing is all about, and can show them how to do it, then you are already starting to build a solid network by being a true leader. The importance of the network you build and how you do it cannot be undermined, for once you have found enthusiastic people for your team who are also finding enthusiastic people for their teams, then you tap into the real potential for business growth and prosperity. Building a network of leaders means giving your time, energy, and effort, and finding people who will give their time, energy, and effort. If you think about what it takes for you to be inspired and energized by a new business opportunity, you will notice that it usually involves realizing the value of the products and services, and knowing how being involved in the business will improve your quality of life. When you have found that sense of worth in what you do, you will be energized to do it, and teach others how it’s done so that they, too, will put the time, energy, and effort into building onto the network of dreams. I don’t know about you, but suddenly I am excited about the terms “network marketing” and “multi-level marketing”!
