The Survival Guide That Every MLM Business Needs For Their Internet Network Marketing Business
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010In the late nineties and early 2000s, internet network marketing was having trouble taking hold. However, today it growing more rapidly and robustly due to the current economic situations that exist. Everyday there are hundreds, if not thousands, take a dip in the huge ocean of online marketing for their home businesses. Are you going to survive today and in the future with the increase in competition? Use the following tips to ensure your survival online for the next decade.
First, you need to stand out from the hoards of competitors. Yeah, but Eric, how am I going to do that? Great question and my answer is that you and I are different. What makes us different is our uniqueness. There in lies your answer. Promote your differences to the masses in a way that people stand up and take notice. Standing out is the most important tip that you can take. If you don’t find a way to stand out, you will find yourself on the wrong side of survival.
The second item in our survival kit is the use of YouTube (insert your favorite video site here) in our marketing efforts. We are not going to use this for a Billy Mays type sales pitch, but rather another medium to get the word out about ourselves and why and who we are. How are we going to do this you might be asking? Figure out what your target markets biggest concerns and fears are and talk about them in your videos. You do this and your views and traffic from this one source will be phenomenal.
The third item in our internet network marketing survival kit is the use of social media. We are not going to use this to throw as sales pitch at as many people as we can get to accept our friend invitation, but rather as a place to cultivate and develop relationships. The other great thing about all of the social media platforms is that they give us an awesome place to let our new friends see pictures of our lives and provide social proof that we are OK to connect with. If you can learn to maximize your connectability on all of the social media sites you may have a lot of problems in your business, but traffic won’t ever be one of them.
The next survival tip is to create a network marketing conspiracy. Find like minded people in the business that have similar goals and aspirations. Collaborate on ideas, occasionally market to each others lists, and be sure to form these alliances with people that are strong where you are weak. You don’t have to know how to do everything, but just know the right people and where to get the right answers. A great example of someone who used this tip to the Nth degree is ex President George W. Bush. He wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but realized his strengths and weaknesses and surrounded himself with people whose strengths complimented his weaknesses. Maybe not a great example, but my point is if he can do it, so can you!
Finally, remember the people. If you get nothing else out of this article, remember that the network marketing business is about people. And yes, sooner or later you are going to have to talk to these people somewhere other than email if you wish for them to join you. Email, blogs, and articles can only build so much of a relationship with people. Understand what your target markets ills and grievances are and make them your own. If you can do this, you will have control over your destiny and not just in business, but in life as well.
Your survival in the next ten years is going depend on your ability to master a lot of these tips. Creating longevity in the internet marketing business is a tricky thing to do if you are not willing to put in the time to develop these survival tips mentioned above. Start today by taking your video camera with you and documenting some of your activities. Read and research all you can about the people you intend to influence until you have an intricate understanding of their thought processes. From now on when someone asks you “Do you feel me?” you can say with absolute certainty “YES”.
Make the decision today to be in the 5% of successful marketers.
