Network Marketing via the internet

i've been asked a lot if you can build a network marketing organization via the internet. As many so called MLM Coaches have never recruited a soul into network marketing, I can honestly say I have recruited at least a 100 over the past few years. And yes 90% came from the internet. Before the internet in my 1st network marketing company I was only able to recruit a few family members. Yes your family members if they are open can and will join you if you have any credibility. But back to the topic at hand. How do you use the internet to build an MLM Business. It's pretty simple unless you are selling a $20 or $30 a month program, you will more than likely have to pick up the phone and call everyone of your prospects or at least have some communication via email or instant messenger. Now here comes the next trick that is crucial to keeping your person on your team before losing them to the next email "Wilma made $14,000 in 2 days using my proven system". You have to build a relationship with them. The thing about network marketing that the pros know vs. the amateurs is that this business isn't about just signing people up, its about mentoring and training your people. So your job really begins when you enroll your people. With all that being said, remember we are in the business of people and cultivating leaders. You cannot sign someone up into your MLM Business and just leave them hanging, or you will lose them to the next Big Opportunity. Work with your people and your business will grow.
