Internet Marketing on the Go.

How much growth can I expect within the Internet Marketing Industry within the next five years?

This question is obviously an important question to answer before deciding whether or not to get involved with a network marketing business. The curiosity of course should grab every serious network marketer by the throat… If we rephrased the question as “Is the hype surrounding Internet Marketing factual?" I could easily answer “Absolutely!” and this article would be finished. In order to answer the original question, we will look at how and why Network Marketing as a powerhouse does work and why it does not work for many.

Old Way of network marketing

Part of the reason that network marketing has such a bad reputation is because of the way it used to be done. Before the internet completely changed the entire process, people would go to big meetings and sit for 2 hours while being sold on what a great product and business this was. Then some of them would join the business and attempt to recruit others by nagging their friends and family until they finally agreed to attend one of the meetings.

Next the network marketer would bring his potential recruits to the meeting and sit for 2 more hours watching the same presentation. Often after the presentation, the friends and family members weren’t as excited as they were supposed to be and they ended up not joining right away. They tried to say no politely by saying “I’ll have to give it some thought”. Very few would sign up and the fact is most (60%) of all new Network Marketers would simply drop off after failing to maintain the same type of excitement that they originally felt.

Network Marketing Now !!!

The internet has made it possible to pretty much maintain the same payment structure as the older network marketing programs, but has changed the entire way recruiting is handled. Now, many network marketing companies offer websites that you send your prospective traffic to, and after taking a tour of the website, the company uses automated emails to follow up on your behalf. Getting people that are actually interested in your business is now easier than ever.

There are now hundreds of ways to advertise your business without bugging your friends or family and without even ever calling or personally visiting anyone. For example, there are websites that offer to advertise your internet marketing program for you and you pay them about $3 for getting a visitor to come to your website and take your tour. Can you imagine if 20 years ago network marketers could have paid a small fee to get people to come and listen to the presentations?

While the old systems relied heavily on your ability to get your friends and family to participate in the business, now many don’t even tell their friends and family about the business until they notice their nice new cars and finally ask how they can afford it. Here's the secret:

Methods like Blogs, Article, Press Releases, Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, and Search Engine Optimization are all being used by the "big boys" in the business. The key is to begin to create your prospect list thru these methods and enter them into your qualified lead generation funnel. Qualified leads then become customers and / or business builders. Remember at the end of the day, the goal is to market your opportunity. Using these methods should place you will ahead of the pack.
