Building a business does not have to be difficult, and in this discussion, we are specifically focused on Network Marketing.In Network Marketing, we call it “putting lines in the water.” You are fishing, anticipating making the big catch! With the Internet, you’ll use Internet Fishing Lines.
So, offline, you might run an ad in the newspaper, join a Networking Group, talk to people in a club that you belong to, and even strike up a conversation with strangers while you are out and about.
The Internet is no different.
Online, you might run an ad in a newsletter or e-zine, find a message board where people of like interests gather, participate in email discussion groups, or visit some social networking sites and strike up conversation and get involved.
Look familiar?
There are three tools that I feel are absolutely crucial to your success online
1. A personal web site/blog that sells you!
2. Autoresponders, for business information, follow up and a newsletter. A way to build a list!
3. Leads for your business. People who come to you.
The methods you will use to generate leads are called “Marketing Funnels.” This is how you advertise and promote your website and ultimately, your business. Some of these marketing funnels include –
Developing Your List and Getting Subscribers
Dynamic email signature line
Search Engines
Social Networking Sites – Facebook, Twitter, Squidoo, YouTube, etc.
BLOGGING
Message Boards and Forums
Articles
Discussion Lists
Online Profiles
Target Markets
Reciprocal Links
E-books
Ezine/Newsletter Ad swaps and advertising
Visiting other Home Based Business Sites
Branding yourself online
You will spend some time initially getting things set up, but once it’s done, your efforts are invested in activities that produce results! That equates to a fat paycheck!
The payoff is well worth it and once you are actually building your business this way, you’ll wonder how you ever did it any other way.
