How Should We Make The Most Of Network Marketing Today?

Is Network Marketing really any different today than it was 10 years ago? Many people talk of the 'old school' and 'out dated' methods of prospecting.

The fact is that 10 years ago such methods were the only ways available to prospect; we didn't have the internet at our disposal. By 'old school' I'm talking about the traditional methods taught by MLM companies...prospecting friends & family, warm list, 3 foot rule, home meetings, walking around shopping malls etc...

The rise of the internet has cast a dim light on the methods that were once used to build MLM downlines, it's not that they don't work, it's just that we can do things far more effectively these days. If you've arrived at this article then I'd bet my bottom dollar that you already have some inkling of what the internet can do for your business!

Although many companies will give you a website complete with a back office they don't really know how to market online effectively, therefore they and their distributors are totally in the dark when it comes to effective marketing. There is one major difficulty with these company replicated websites in that they are all identical, what's the problem with that you may ask? Well... The key to success in this industry is branding YOU as a leader, you want people to join because they want to work with you. Just having a generic website isn't going to cut it.

I believe there are some simple reasons why old school methods are not going to work well for most of the people who use them

Chasing your family and friends - are they suitable for your business? Do they have what it takes to become a big player in your downline? Or will they just fade away and do nothing? Are you prepared to answer their every beck and call (coz they will expect you too!)

Drawing up your list of 'warm' prospects - typically 100 people is the goal, do you know 100 people? Bear in mind that you really need 100 folks who are actually going to be interested in your particular opportunity whatever that maybe

3 Foot Rule - lets face it, do you want to make yourself unpopular by keep on pestering everyone within earshot of you about your business opportunity? You could well end up with people actually trying to avoid you, so they don't get pitched again

Home opportunity meetings - are you a skilled presenter? Do you have a regular stream of new leads so you can populate these home meetings on a regular basis?

Wandering around in shopping malls - that's pretty low and desperate really!

Thats some brief reasons why you might be failing in your business by using only the above mentioned traditional methods. We must remember though that for some people they definitely work, many a downline has been built using these strategies, take Mark Yarnell for example, he never used the internet to earn his 30+ million!

For those people who are not having the success they want and finding it difficult to generate enough leads and cash flow I would like to offer you some good news.

Can you envisage having a following of qualified prospects that respect and hang on your every word, people that come to you with credit card in hand ready to join your business.

What if you were also able to create an income from more than 18 different streams plus the money you earn from people joining your business, would that change your business?

The scenario I have laid out is not fantasy world but a reality when you combine the principles of attraction marketing with internet marketing. You will have a very powerful business model. It will work wonders for your business.
