You say "network marketing" and people head for the exits. "It's a scam, Jane!" "It's a pyramid full of bull dung waiting to fall on your head, Marv!" Hold on, that's pure bat guano. All buying and selling is network marketing.
It takes a network to buy and sell anything. Word of mouth is network marketing. All advertising I've ever heard of is network marketing. The network of PEOPLE spreads the message through their daily communications regardless of where they heard it and/or how they experienced it. It's all about products, services, stores, etc. that a network of people use and might just mention to others. Many folks ask friends for recommendations. It's all about the network. And, of course this works in reverse when products and services are substandard or customer support is lacking.
Only now, our network has been nearly infinitely expanded because of the Internet. Suddenly that network of people has grown by leaps and bounds. It's the newest preferred way to market anything under the sun: social networking. I can hardly think of a site I visit anymore that doesn't have links to their FaceBook, Twitter, Linked In, MySpace, blog pages and the like. It's the golden age of network marketing if ever there's been one.
Network marketing is just a label. For those of us who are pushing products and services online as a way to make a growing and reliable source of permanent income working out of our homes, it's all about our network of people. We can not be successful unless we have people on our side either liking what we offer, or telling others about our home based business.
And, if you do it correctly, you'll have life-long repeat customers. In our online home business, we have built the foundation on never-ending generosity and unparalleled opportunity costing between nothing and next-to-nothing. Our motto is: "YOU FIRST, us second." It truly represents who we are and what we do.
The days when network marketing only meant Amway, Shaklee, Mary Kay, Avon, Tupperware and a zillion others are long gone. Network marketing describes just about any business, online or off. You must have that special group of customers and members who can catch your passion for what you are giving them in return for their loyalty. The ultimate compliment is a word-of-mouth recommendation to another friend in the network who just might give you their business, too.
"Network Marketing": I have come to love and respect this term with each passing day as I look forward to a financially successful rest of my life.
