Does network marketing online really work? Traditionally, MLM professionals did all their recruiting and meetings offline and in-person. That still works!
With so many Internet tools and techniques, network marketing online has proven to be successful for recruiting and income generation. It’s worth it to invest in online network marketing training for yourself.
How can you possibly reach the same number of potential customers and prospects if you only use offline marketing? With network marketing online, you can reach more people and use your time effectively.
Network Marketing Online – How to Get Started
Are you short on time? Do you want to have the chance to earn money even while you are sleeping? Well, network marketing online can help you do that.
I was on free vacation that I earned in my primary business. While I was away, I did no recruiting. However, I gained 50 new leads, 4 new distributors and 26 new customers.
How on earth can that happen?
It’s the result of network marketing online techniques. When I first started in MLM, marketing my business online was the best decision I ever made.
Think about it. What is network marketing? It’s really building a network of people that buy and sell products. Some of these people are customers and some are distributors.
Now, how can you extend your reach beyond your local community? Facebook alone has over one billions users.
Would you like to tap into that?
Anyone can do MLM marketing online by creating an online presence. There are many methods you can use to attract prospects and expose your business.
A few of these online MLM secrets include:
- Blogging
- Pay-per-click ads (PPC)
- Email newsletters (you need a list of subscribers)
- Forums
- Social media
Whichever of these you decide to do for network marketing online, be sure to invest in training. Without that you’ll just be spinning your wheels.
Be sure to learn about your primary business online marketing policies. Some have restrictions and you’ll need to abide by that.
With network marketing online, you can definitely reach more people and have success.
I totally agree with you Lisa – once I brought my business online (and joined the same marketing system as you!) I made my first commissions and it felt so exciting.
There are many different strategies to learn and the key is to know that you don’t have to learn it all – stick with what you’re good at to start with and become an expert at it. I see too many people getting overwhelmed with it all by trying to do too many things.
I enjoyed reading this,

Hi Lisa,
It truly amazes me that so many Network Marketers still continue to build their businesses offline, by contacting friends and family or speaking to stangers in the local store! When like you said, you can generate leads and sales on autopilot while you’re on vacation when you leverage the internet! Oh well, I guess the 90% who still don’t maximize the internet to grow their businesses will learn some day!
Hi Bradley!
Thanks for stopping by. Those methods still work, but you can extend your reach so much further with online marketing! Good thing we are in the 10% 🙂
Lisa
How do I get started online?
Bradley,
You make a good point. There is one thing to consider though. I’d bet that if you interviewed 100 six figure earners in our industry, at least 98 of them still build their business the old school way. I know VERY FEW people in any company that built their business online. I build mine online and do well, but it’s not for everyone. Old school is still what works best for now. Just my thoughts. I’d love to hear what you think.
Chuck
nice 1 you r sharing such wonderful points about network marketing online
Good article Lisa.
Building any business online takes skill, time and money. Network marketing is no different – the battle for most people coming online to build or grow their business is that these skills take time to learn/acquire. Off line prospecting, calling leads and warm market/belly to belly networking will still have its place for some and if it works you can’t really argue with those who use that approach.
Personally, I would choose to market online.
More bang for your buck — as they say! 🙂
Patience is a virtue. Most people who take their business online for the same reason that people fail offline. If you don’t know how to generate leads, share your products or business or build relationships with people, building online will be hard to do. Anyone can learn the skills but it takes a while. Most folks don’t have the patience or discipline to stick around and develop their online skills. Instead, they are off to the next shiny object!
Correct Chuck!
There are ONLY two things you need to do to become MASSIVELY successful..
1. Decide what it is YOU want
2. Keep working on that one thing UNTIL YOU GET IT
Simple!
(but not always easy) 😉
This is an amazing blog; You know so many people are just frustrated with the MLM business and they are looking for a way out!! You have to go the NEW way, everything is digital now; no more hassling family, friends, and co-workers those days are over! Network marketing can now be conveniently done online and you can build a powerful team by doing this.
Samalia,
A lot of folks are frustrated with old school MLM. I’d bet just as many folks are frustrated with online MLM. With all of the different systems, gurus and shiny objects out there, people have short attention spans. It’s hard to find anyone who will stick with something for 90 days, let alone a few years. The internet is a tool, but it is not the solution. People still need to learn how to build relationships and learn how to market online. It ain’t easy, but it does work.
Chuck
Online network marketing definitely works, but it is NOT easy. Old school MLM is duplicatable and anyone can do it. It will take most folks a few years to learn the ins and outs of online network marketing. It took me several years to figure it out. However, once you figure it out it is a beautiful thing. There is nothing like sponsoring people you don’t know who live in a different country! I also like the idea of multiple streams of income and concept of attraction marketing. If you choose to build your business online, and you invest in your business education, it can really pay off. Just my two cents.
Chuck
You really change people\’s lives by helping them stop struggling looking for prospects online. I believe and tell people that building a network marketing business online is very like the way this post has explained it. check out the system I recommend for building a business
