The Profitable Relationship Between Internet And Network Marketing

  The Internet Has Changed Network Marketing

Since the advent of the Internet but more significantly the advent of business on the internet, network marketing has had an incredible face lift. Many years ago, it seems, people who became involved in Network Marketing were normally introduced through a friend or a relative or invited by a complete stranger to, what must have seemed like cult meetings.

Network Marketing Today

Fast-forward to today and the opportunity of growing a global network marketing business has never been more possible. Nowadays literally anyone with a computer and access to the internet is a potential prospect. It’s also possible to pitch your entire opportunity simply by driving traffic to a website.

Of course network marketing still suffers the comparison to pyramid schemes and scams and sadly there are still numerous companies out there trying to make a quick buck off some poor soul but unfortunately or fortunately network marketing on the internet is not the only industry guilty of this.

Despite this stigma surrounding network marketing, there are many companies out there offering a real opportunity to start your own home based business. The internet allows you to quickly see who these companies are and whether or not they offer a legitimate business plan.

Network Marketing and the Web

And now with the internet and a real business opportunity to promote, people no longer have to cajole, persuade, argue and simply create pressure for others to join their program. Gone are the days where you had to approach strangers in a supermarket. Now with the internet, network marketing companies provide you with a generic website of your own with your own unique ID which you can use to drive traffic to.

You can then market your website in any way you choose. You can use both the various online and offline techniques in order to drive traffic to your site. The benefit of doing this is your marketing efforts work whether you’re around or not. This is the process where Internet and Network Marketing go hand in hand. You do not have to make direct contact with a single individual until they are interested in the product and the opportunity.

There is however also a misconception with this relationship. Many people have the idea they will build a website and on seeing the website people will come to them and the business will run on its own. Exclusively online business does not necessarily mean you will never need to speak to a stranger on the phone.

Global Expansion With The Internet

The internet is a tool you can use to promote your network marketing opportunity to a wider audience. You now have the power to market your website to people around the world from the US to Kenya to India to China. Successful businessman, like Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Robert Kiyosaki when asked about what the average person can do to create financial independence; have suggested network marketing as a viable option. They talk about leverage and the need to have your money work for you. Network Marketing gives you this leverage and now the internet is a tool you can use to significantly leverage your time.
