Network Marketing Online
Network marketing ONLINE is one of the newest developments in MLM home based business. The number of people that you can reach via a network marketing internet business has the potential to be staggering.
And the absolute beauty of it is that they find you, instead of you chasing or repeatedly annoying them by more traditional methods of networking.
Besides increasing your exposure, network marketing online can also decrease your need to actually leave your house to get your work done.
Many network marketers like to be on the move, but others don’t... and they find out once they’re in the business that a home based MLM business opportunity can turn out to be anything but truly home-based. They end up frustrated with driving too much to deliver products to customers or present the business opportunity to prospects, when they really wanted a business where they could actually stay in their house to do their work.
Well, you might ask, “How do you get people to find you online, when there are so many websites out there?” And that’s an excellent question. I mean, it’s mind-blowing! If you do a Google search (or use any other search engine) for the keyword “network marketing”, for instance, guess how many websites come up on the search engine results page (SERP)?
A few hundred? A few thousand? Try 23,800,000 !!
That's right, more than 23 million!!!
Soooo... you ask again, “How do I have a prayer of being found in cyberspace with those odds?”
All it takes is learning just a little bit about how the search engines work. It's easy information to find, and you only need to get the gist of it, not learn all the details... if you use a really good company to help you build your website... a company that knows how the search engines analyze your words and how you use them... and helps you to write the way your readers and the search engines like.
Let me show you what I mean.
This is how good the company is that I’m using to build this site.
Today (8/4/10) my ranking on Google for the keyword search term “mlm success guide” is #1!
That’s right. I’m the FIRST website listed on page 1... out of "about 129,000 results"!
I just checked it in order to update this page, since it was 12/6/08 the last time I checked. At that time I was "only" #3 out of 267,000 results.
And I'm just beginning... still have a lot more good website content to write, which will keep my ranking high.
Go to Google now to see it for yourself (opens in new window).
(Type "mlm success guide" into the search box.)
Sites change ranking daily, so you most likely won’t see the exact same numbers that are there right now, but I think you get the picture.
There are also lots of ways to get more traffic to your site besides where it ranks in a search.
Other important ways of network marketing online are to boost your website’s visits by advertising the website address (url) directly, and linking to it from somewhere else... and there are LOTS of “somewhere else” ‘s to choose from. The more you use, the better.
This is a list of some of the more commonly used methods for network marketing online ... some are described in more detail after the list: - Forums for groups in topics that interest you
- Answer sites (such as Wiki Answers ... opens in a new window)
- Social networking sites
- Signature files
- Online article writing
- E-book publishing
- Traffic exchanges
Most of these are online places where you can add your website url after your name. A reader who is interested in what you wrote there will click on the link to your site to find out more about you and your business.

Social Networking
Online social networking is a rapidly growing area for network marketing online since about the early 1990's. It involves registering as a user on a social networking website (or several of them) and doing the same thing that you'd do in the "real" business world...
getting to know people, learning a little bit about them, and telling them about your business.
It takes skill, practice, and training, just like in-person network marketing.
So what's the advantage over just running your business in person, the traditional way?
You could never talk to as many people in your whole lifetime as you can reach via a network marketing internet business.
Some of the most common online social networking sites are:
I’ll be writing about more of these methods soon in future pages.
