The internet has brought the world closer together. It’s also opened up new frontier for opportunity and it’s a little like the early days of the 19th century gold rush. The opportunity to generate income is huge but the pitfalls are there is also a strong chance you’ll take the wrong path and end of losing money…and lots of it.

Despite it’s image, MLM is still a great vehicle to generate lifelong income. Now, internet network marketing has emerged as a genuine business opportunity and closed the gap between unprofessional prospecting tactics to making network marketing a more viable and less hit and miss business platform.

When internet network marketing first started to gather momentum over a year ago, there were plenty suggesting you could not make MLM work by prospecting over the internet. They were wrong.

Ann Sieg has done a lot for changing the perception of network marketing with her blueprint, inter-network marketing and it seems the revolution is now starting to gather pace.

Internet Network Marketing

Inter-network marketing basically came about when it was discovered that MLMers had far greater scope to target leads by working online. Not only this, their lead generation numbers were not restricted to just one or two prospects at a time - they could literally target thousands in the one action.

So what action are we talking about? Well, actions such as putting up a fully SEO optimized website, a blog and plenty of Web 2.0 properties.

Each is a little different from the other but when used in unison and promoted as a collective, the ability to draw targeted prospects into your prospecting funnel is letting a bear loose in honey factory.

Simply putting up real estate on the internet won’t do much but knowing how to promote it in the right circles will make a huge difference. It’s quite simple really; promote your network marketing real estate in front of the audience who is going to be most receptive to it.

Best Target Market

In the case of MLM, the best audience to promote too surprisingly are network marketers themselves.

Why is this? Well, network marketers are usually receptive because they are either in the business or have tried it before. Most network marketers will fail at least once and be on the look out for a new opportunity.

Like MLMers, the failure rate of network marketing companies is high which means there are often lots of MLMers left out in the cold without a company to attach themselves to. And there is an enormous percentage of network marketers always between companies waiting the right opportunity to come along.

Did you know internet MLM is in it’s infancy and definitely a likely prospect in the internet home business opportunity stakes.

There’s a theory that opportunity is born during crisis. This is true but for many, spotting an opportunity even when it’s staring them in the face is not easy. We’re not saying you take advantage of others during a crisis but only to be aware that while things may look grim, look deeper and you will spot opportunities to move ahead in your life.

It’s a fact that the good times generally follow the bad but only for people prepared to make plans to receive it. At the moment, wellness is huge around the world and connecting it with financial opportunity can put you on the path to financial success.

Wellness network marketing is one area many are prospering in. The baby boomer generation has been responsible for a surge in the interest of wellness products and you can position yourself to take advantage of this trend today.

The baby boomers are like no other generation but they are feeling the pinch at the moment with the current economic crisis. These are some of the questions they are asking Read more »

There are many network marketing lies which have been detrimental to healthy business growth over the years yet one of the biggest has been that anyone can do this business.

Ann Sieg highlighted this in her hard-hitting report The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing and while she copped some flak from old school network marketers the general response was almost one of relief from the majority that someone actually had the courage to tell it like it was.

The reality is that not everyone can do network marketing and there is a definite skill set required. But that’s not to say that these skills cannot be learned and with the internet now becoming a major player some of these skills are now not needed.

In this article we’ll point out what the skills required to build a successful network marketing business are. We’re talking the new age variety involving online attraction marketing and while some of the old skill sets aren’t required anymore the new skills of working online need to be learned.

There are fairly well supported statistics that indicate that…

• only 5% of people in Network Marketing will be successful to any measurable degree
• That means 95% will will not be successful - sorry to state the obvious
• The 5% who succeed will do so, generally with, or without your help.

I understand that the 80/20 rule plays a part in that 80 out of 100 people who join network marketing will fail anyway. They tend to say, “just wasn’t for me!” I believe that they were recruited by inappropriate advertising - not deliberately inappropriate, but inappropriate just the same.

With these 80 out of 100, nothing you do will keep them in and any time you spend on them will be wasted. They make up 80%, so you could save 80% of your time by not dealing with them.

So now we have 5% who will be successful ANYWAY, 80% who will fail ANYWAY. That leaves 15. What about them? Read more »

When I have to either give a talk to train people in my niche, or to commit it to print, it serves to clarify my own thinking and direction.

Going back many years, 1969 in fact, I was listening to a speech by the late William Pen-Patrick. William Pen-Patrick was the President of Holiday Magic and was personally worth some US$43million, which was a lot of money back in those days.

One particular thing that he said was, “Your income is the measure of Read more »
