If you haven’t committed yourself to becoming a online network marketer yet, then if you want to become successful it is about time you did
The days of building a million dollar business from your social circle has gone as prospecting online has become the only game in town.
I believe the main issue for many network marketers reluctant to try the online arena is the fear of wasting their time on something that doesn’t work. If they have already depleted their existing social circle and are now trying to pester a few individuals you are already wasting your time. They will do nothing to benefit their business or motivation to continue.
The only way that prospecting online is a waste of time is if you do not use a workable strategy.
Why is the online network marketer simply a network marketer but online?
There is a few concept that may help someone new to running a network marketing business online such as:
- Social media and the internet are simply a virtual extension of the physical world.
- If your business can be automated it should be automated.
- Duplication is possible offline as well as online, it just means learning someone new.
If you have been in network marketing for a while some of the traditional network marketing concepts will resonate with you. So, let’s say that whatever you have learnt about network marketing from Tom “Big Al” Schreiter or any other MLM pro can be transferred online.
How to become an online network marketer?
Becoming an online network marketer for some of you will be a journey. So first of all consider and reflect on what you already know about working online.
- Are you online everyday via social media or searching online?
- Do you send emails regularly?
- Are you writing a blog?
Whatever skills you have will help you build a business online. However, the ability and the motivation to learn will be the key to your success as well as an online strategy that works.
How to find an online prospecting automation strategy that works?
There is lots of information available online, but most do not really give the reader the whole story. The best and fully structured literature available is by Steven Jackson. A few years ago he wrote a very practical work manual for beginners called “Beginners guide to online prospecting in network marketing”.
The genius of the workbook is that it takes the student from the very beginning explaining how a network marketer will benefit from working online. To the little things that will be the difference between success and failure.
Subjects range for finding your niche to optimizing your content so it can be found on the internet. This makes this eBook very powerful for the prospective online network marketer.
The main concept of the workbook is to offer a basic and workable plan for those wanting to build a network marketing business online. This will allow you to almost totally ignore the need to contact family and friends.
The eBook takes the reader through all the information and practical skills needed to become successful online in network marketing. The unique element of this book is that as you go through the step you are given tasks to complete. In fact as a part of the plan you are being guided to complete the goals. In addition, the book offers free prospecting tools, ideas and tips to make your success journey complete.
What was the main motivation for this work manual?
The writer’s main motivation was the realization that many of the traditional network marketing leaders had been misleading everyone. In the best cases their leaders were giving unrealistic business building claims. This would rely on our social circle purchasing our products and some joining our business. Most of the time this did not happen, in fact in many cases it created decent and bad relationships from the people we love.
Even today I still receive emails and messages from people new to the industry asking me why their sponsor insists they contact their family and friends?
The simple answer is that they have nothing else to offer you. They feel that the creation of a mailing list of your social circle is the only way they can duplicate their business. The only issue is that yes, it is duplicatable, unfortunately, for most people it does not work.
Why does prospecting online work?
Let us consider for a moment how many people you have in your social circle.
On average you will have about 200 people. If you are on Facebook or another social media platform you may have access to another 500 prospects. From that list a very few people will join your business or buy your products. That is the reality. At the same time you will be demotivated because you are being told you are stupid for getting involved with network marketing.
On the other hand, the internet has 5.03 billion people. This is the equivalent to 63% of the world’s population. This number will continue to grow until I guess everyone who can be online will be online. The online network marketer has a limitless supply of prospects. The only thing they need to know is how to share their products and business opportunities online. Once a network marketer has learnt how to build a business online, unlike speaking to your social circle, the online marketer is speaking to prospects all day every day.
However, this does not mean that traditional methods have no place in network marketing because of course it does. The importance of building a good relationship with your team or a prospect is still valid. So, offering the ability for your team or prospect to contact you is also a part of your business strategy.
The first step towards becoming a online network marketer
There is likely to be three scenarios and that is:
- You have been a network marketer for a while and are struggling to make it work with your social circle and you are looking for a better way.
- You are not in network marketing yet and you are looking at how others are running their businesses and maybe interested in joining a leader with online marketing experience.
- Or you are just nosy and want to know what the hell I am writing about.
Regardless of why you are here, I would suggest checking out Steven Jackson’s eBook and see if it will help you as it has helped many others.
