2 Ways To Market Your Network Marketing Business Opportunity Today

By Jeff Schuman

Tip! You give a two-hour network marketing presentation to a very interested couple and as soon as you finish, they want to show you *their* network marketing presentation.

In the old days if you were going to market your network
business opportunity
that meant making a list of everyone you
knew. You were taught to really dig deep and make the longest
list you could think of. This would include a special list
called your chicken list which would be the most successful
people you knew, but were afraid to contact.

Then you would pick up the phone and invite them to an
opportunity meeting to listen to an expert stand up and tell
everyone about the opportunity to start a business of their own
in network marketing. This was not a bad system except for one
thing. It really did not work because most people were afraind
to pick up the phone and start making calls.

Tip! Use your products regularly. This is Number 1 for a reason, this is the most ignored part of ANY network marketing business.

The days of this type of a system are over. Unless that is the
way you want to do it. The reason so many people are making
money in network marketing today starts with how easy it is to
present the business opportunity to people you do not know. That
is not to say you can't make a list of people you know and
contact them. You can and you should.

But now it is as easy as inviting them to vist your website or
to listen to a conference call live or even a pre-recoreded
call. This type of prospecting takes away the fear factor and
allows your prospect to check out what you are doing in a casual
way.

Tip! Create a large customer base. This is another largely ignored, yet very important, piece of your network marketing business.

Personally I like to hand out business cards with my website on
it and just ask them to take a look and if they are interested
give me a call. Anyone with a little ambition can do this. At
Vistaprint.com you can get 250 free business cards and
personalize them with your name, address, phone number, email
address, and website address.

The other way to market your network business opportunity today
is to drive traffic to your website and let the company take
over from there. Most mlm companies today give you several of
your own websites with your i.d. number coded in the url itself.
They also have an email follow-up system in place that is
customized with your contact information in each email. The
purpose of having more than 1 website is you can refer your
prospects to different websites based on how well you know them.

Tip! Don't rush into network marketing. Look around and find a good company that suits you and your needs.

If you know someone well you might send them to one website that provides alot of information. If you are promoting on the
internet you would refer your prospect to a lead capture page
that requires them to fill out their name, phone, and email
address, before being sent to another website that is more of a
sales page on your business.

The information is then emailed to you for personal follow-up if
you like. In the meantime the company email follow-up system
kicks in and starts sending your prospect information emails
with your name in them designed to educate your prospect about
your company and products.

Tip! Some network marketing operators take the business reluctantly as if its status will not able to decline in time.

Handing out business cards and marketing your business on the
internet with websites and conference call makes it easier for
anyone to market a network marketing opportunity today. Easier
does mean easy. To make money with your own mlm business still
is going to require you to work. The beauty of how it is done
today, however, is that automation allows you to build you
business quicker and to present your opportunity to more people
than you ever could have in the past.
