It has not been that long ago that network marketing was a business model in total disarray
. You stood as good of chance making money playing the lottery as you did building a network marketing business.
My how times have changed! And how quickly they have changed too.
Today anyone can make money in network marketing no matter where they live in the world. Network marketing still offers the same business model as before, but the difference now is you can use the Internet to build your business.
This means you do not have to call your friends and relatives and use some hokey curiosity approach that will more than likely help you lose more credibility than you gain. It also means you do not have to go out of your home and walk around looking for prospects for your business.
If you have ever tried to build a network marketing business the old way you know how how hard that was. If you were in more than one mlm business you probably lost friends and your relatives quit answering the phone once caller i.d. came out. You were branded as a loser who was in multi level marketing.
What is sad is that most people who were in network marketing failed and that did nothing to help the black eye it had as a business. It was not accepted as a "REAL" way to make money or as a true business opportunity.
Flash ahead to today. Now network marketers are successful. People who failed in it in the past now succeed. People who have never been in it before do not think twice about joining once they understand how it works.
You can send traffic to your website and sell products. No collecting money and delivering products. The network marketing company does that for you. And they send you checks for all of your sales as well.
You can refer prospects to your website for the business opportunity too. You can send them to your autoresponder for follow up without picking up the phone.
You can talk to your downline via Skype for free. It makes no difference where they live in the world. As long as they have a microphone and speakers you can help them build their business.
I do not think it is going overboard to say the Internet has saved and improved network marketing. Finally average people make money in this unique and fantastic business model.
