Use the Internet to Build a Network Marketing Downline by Attracting People to You

Using the internet to attract people and build a downline reminds me of when I was first starting my Network Marketing business.

I decided creating an online presence was the way to go so I started a website. I didn't have much help but this seemed like the way to go. It had been a couple of months and my website was getting very little traffic - maybe 10 or 15 people a day visiting, but no contacts were made.

One evening I decided to check my website stats. When I logged in, there had been over 300 contacts made. I KNEW it had to be an error. No way I had that many. I had been getting pretty discouraged at this point and even 3 contacts would have seemed like a miracle. I restarted my computer to clear the 'bug' and get the real stats. But when I logged back in there were over 400 contacts and growing. Long story short, I got over 5000 contacts that week.

I have been a true believer in the power of the internet and its ability to get people ever since.

Internet Attraction Marketing does work to attract people; People who are interested in what you have to offer. Both your expertise and knowledge.

By reading this article you will be able to advance your network marketing business, start creating a downline and make some money. The internet opens up a huge opportunity to network and get people looking for you. With sites like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Squidoo, you can get your name known and get people to contact you. You become the expert with a "how to" plan and people want to sign up under you. Attracting people to you and your online plan lets you recruit more downlines and teach them how to do the same.

Anyone interested in building a successful network marketing business needs to create a downline. A downline allows you to start leveraging time and is the true power of the network marketing model. But getting the downline has always been the hardest part of an MLM business. The main reason was the approach that was being taken. New network marketers were "selling" their opportunity to everyone they knew or came within arm's length of.

Imagine you are eating dinner and the phone rings. It's a telemarketer looking to sign you up for that "once in a lifetime deal". What do you think your reaction is going to be? Do you think the sale was made?

Now imagine you decided that you needed something so you "googled" it and when you found what you wanted you picked up the phone. Do you think that guy made a sale? This is the new way to build a downline. Get people coming to you. You are the expert and they want what you have.

Now creating a downline takes time. And while it is where the long term residual income is made, you have to make money now if you are going to be able to keep doing this business. The good news is there are LOTS of ways to create money while you are building your network marketing business.

Part of the process of attracting people to you is helping them. Become a source of information and like any other business you can charge for that info. You can also get paid by other companies when you recommend a product and people you recommend make a purchase. This is known as being an affiliate marketer. I know there are lots of different tools I use and trainings that have helped me. So making recommendations is not a hard thing to do.

Attracting people, building a downline and monetizing are all made so much easier since the internet showed up. The internet lets people find you and your opportunity. The work I do today and put out there can be found 24/7 and it is working for me today, tomorrow and many months or even years from now.

It's an AMAZING tool that lets you reach out. Be the person you want to be and attract people to YOU; People that are looking for what you have to offer. In the network marketing biz, people join you - not your company. The internet lets you reach out to literally millions of people.

A new and amazing (and free) way to take advantage of all the internet has to offer are social networking sites. Places like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Squidoo and other social networking sites have thrust the internet to the pinnacle of all networking tools. Start interacting with millions of people and create a system that allows you to collect the names of others interested in what you have to offer.

Facebook is quickly becoming one of the top internet sites. Over 1/3 of all people who logon to the internet visit Facebook. As a member of Facebook you can create a profile and share yourself. You network and become 'friends' with other likeminded people. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with others. Members can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. It's a great way to get to know people and develop a level of trust. With friendship comes the possibility of business followers and an expanded downline.

Twitter is similar, but with Twitter you are giving anyone that follows you up to a 140 character blurb about what you are doing. Again, becoming an expert and helping people will attract them to you and as you build trust by sharing useful and helpful information people will become friends, followers, and possibly a good fit for your downline.

YouTube is a horse of a different color. It is a great place to share yourself and what you know. But You Tube is all about Video. Video is becoming very popular and a great way for people to really see who you are. Creating a video can be a little scary but can actually be quite easy. You don't need any fancy equipment or studio, just a desire and a message.

Squidoo allows you to make a lens. This is really just a webpage. Squidoo is like Youtube in that you can create content that is intended to help people and create interest in you and/or your product. The big difference is with a Squidoo Lens you are getting your message out using the written word.

Facebook and Twitter are great ways to network and make new friends. YouTube and Squidoo let you get content on the web to attract people. These are just 4 ways among many that can be used to get yourself out there and start attracting people to you. Try them all and pick the ones that fit your skills and interests and you are on your way to building a great downline.

By simply sharing what you know and helping people you can become the expert that attracts and not the sleazy salesman who chases people down. By becoming an expert in any one or more aspects of building your business or working online you become someone people want to follow. Everyday more and more people are joining the ranks of the Network Marketing biz and they are looking for someone to help them realize their dreams. Just be there to help.

It doesn't take a lot, just focus on learning something new that would help you build your business. If it helps you it will help others. Once learned, the skill becomes an asset and makes you an expert. Soon the student becomes the master.

When starting something new take the time to focus. Go through the stages of orientation, understanding, putting into practice and finally completion. Don't jump around from one thing to another before you have fully understood the first. Creating a daily, weekly and even monthly action plan can keep you on track to learning new skills that can then be used to attract your downline. Pass along your plan that you have followed and create a "how to" for your new downline.

Having a plan and a way to get from newbie to experienced Network Marketer makes you the leader that people want to follow.

So find the leader that has the plan to get you going and along the way pick out the parts that fit your style. Turn it all around and become the teacher building your own downline. It is as simple as paying it forward.

So don't be scared to take the plunge on your new journey. Learn then teach. Focus on learning something new that builds your business and then share it with the world. Use the power of the internet and free social marketing to attract your Network Marketing downline. Along the way use your knowledge to create an income from your marketing techniques. Stay focused and you too can build a downline and a business you can be proud of.
