Traditional Network Marketing Vs Online Networks

Network Marketing Today

Today, more than ever since its inception, Network Marketers have the unique opportunity to build a profitable and sustainable business that grows in a tangible and sustainable way. Thanks to the Internet and all the new communication technology that has taken the market by force since the 90s and continues to reach new heights connecting more and more people around the world. Or in the case of network marketing that connects you with your potential customers and, in turn, grows your business.

Are there advantages to running a network marketing business online?

Let’s explore some advantages of online networking:

More Leads – In network marketing, leads are everything. Once you’re done asking everyone in your family, friends, and anyone within shouting distance, you’ll need clues. You can buy a list and cold call hundreds of people. You can invite everyone you know to a meeting in a hotel. These methods remain effective to this day. Unlike traditional marketing tactics, your only limitations online are determined by your efforts and how much you actually put into your business. Basically, you could reach thousands of people over the internet and thus introduce your business to more people.

Top-Qualified Prospects: If you’re doing well in your online business, people who are looking for someone like you or just researching your business/opportunity may reach out to you. You now have a very qualified prospect. This person has actively approached you about your network marketing business, wants to know more about you and your company. The key here is still you.

Higher Motivation Levels – When working with unqualified prospects, the number of rejections is so high that 90% of network workers lose motivation and leave before their first year in business. On the other hand, dealing with people who are already interested and want to know more significantly reduces your rejection level, you’ll enjoy it a lot more, and it will keep you highly motivated to stay on course in network marketing.

It’s not usually a face-to-face interaction so you don’t take it as a personal rejection, so you don’t lose the initial motivation that is critical to your success.

Less Tension and Stress: For some in the network marketing industry, just thinking about talking to their friends and family causes extreme tension and stress. Many times they are told to walk up to anyone within a speaking distance and to promote their business. I understand how valuable and effective these tactics are, but for someone new they can be quite overwhelming.

With your online business, most of this stress and tension is relieved because you will mostly be dealing with people who contact you and really want to know more. This will help you build your confidence to the point where you lose your fear of rejection and realize that it’s not personal.

Other Opportunities” The beautiful thing about the internet is that your efforts can be multiplied enormously. You can use your online business to grow multiple businesses into companies you like. The internet can be leveraged in many different ways.

Ease of Communication: There are many new ways to communicate over the Internet, such as VOIP, Skype, conference calls, and your new favorite webinars, which allow you to talk to a large number of people at a very low cost.
