The Internet For Network Marketers– Friend Or Foe?
Things are going so fast in network marketing because of the internet these days.
Let’s take a quick look at some of the things that are happening at the moment:
The Social Networking Phenomenon:
In only a few years, the website FaceBook has caused more traffic than the majority other huge businesses combined. The increase of their popularity is amazing and the probable value of the network is likely in the BILLIONS.
What are network marketers doing? They are out there making a lot of money with Facebook today.
Masses Voting for New Government

What are network marketers doing? Going to to blogs, email marketing, viral marketing, social networking and many others to create continual leads and cash flow into their network marketing businesses!
The Latest Corporate Direction
Today, many large businesses are going to the Internet to drive traffic and ‘touch base’ with their clients and prospects. A lot of companies have allocated enormous advertising budgets to restructure their web presence and position themselves by means of newsletters and blogs!
What are network marketing businesses doing? They are using videos, podcasts, webinars and any automatization you can possibly think of, to bring their companies up to speed with what's happening in the internet industry!
SPEED is the name of the business today.
So here goes the question for you:
Is the Internet a friend or a enemy to YOU?
PASSIVE INCOME: HOW SOON AND HOW FAST
Most network marketing reps who employ old school dinosaur methods like writing a name list of their acquaintances are calling dead beat leads and are fishing without a bait.
When it comes to 21st century prospecting, that's not time efficient any longer.
It's true, it used to be the best method of doing things. No any more.
In reality, there are lots of network marketers- think thousands - building their business on the Internet and generating thousands of dollars literally on autopilot!
How? Putting in practice the newest on mlm recruiting methods, that's how.
For those of us who have lived near network marketing, we know passive income is probable. The only thing that remains now is HOW QUICKLY can a person create passive income with the Internet.
It's a race where your own finances - not all things are free on the internet - and your want for greater speed (more recruits in less time) have to balance.
If you don't go in that direction, not only would you lose the opportunity to generate those leads, the Internet will start to work against you and your network marketing business.
And it will turn into your greatest enemy.
That I've watched myself. Old timers practically screaming in desperation for slow moving network marketing genealogy trees that insisted in the old way of doing network marketing.
Sharing your product face-to-face is also losing its impact as individuals will know all they want to know about a network marketing product with one click of a button as they search Google and Yahoo and Wikipedia. People can even view a product demonstration on YouTube! So you will be wasting a lot of time if your single source of prospecting is by approaching your friends and relatives to carry out home parties.
Listen: if you don’t have a good way to prove to your downlines that they can duplicatewhat you are doing, then they will not follow you in the long run.
Period.
At the end of the day, you either go with the online flow or lag behind when every person else is moving forward.
All I'm saying is, if you are not learning how to make the Internet your friend, the Internet will definitely work against your network marketing company so it’s time to get connected and go high-tech!
