 I am discovering that many network marketers and people in mlm are following traditional marketing strategies with little to no success. In traditional marketing, we are taught to make a list of people in your warm market, contact the list and invite them to attend your business opportunity presentation. The problem with this is by following traditional marketing strategies, you will often find yourself in the NFL (No Friends Left) club! If you are a traditional business person or network marketer, you can diversify your marketing strategy and discover the benefits of marketing on the internet. Internet marketing opens up a whole new world of prospects for the traditional or non-traditional marketer, providing network marketing solutions that are virtually unheard of in traditional arenas.
When I joined YTB in August 2006, I knew nothing about Internet Marketing, so I followed the traditional YTB system of sponsoring people into my business. This worked very well for me initially because after about a month, I had promoted to my PowerTeam, thereby accomplishing my first goal. However, as I continued to share our business model with friends, family, church members and former co-workers, it wasn't long before I had run out of people I knew, so I had to start approaching people I didn't know (my cold market). It also became increasingly more challenging getting people to come to see the business opportunity presentation. Then, in October, 2006, our daughter, Cion, was born. Well this changed everything because I could no longer get out and about and share the business as I'd done before. I needed a new marketing strategy and innovative network marketing solutions.
As Cion grew, it became quite apparent to me that if I wanted to continue to build my YTB business, I would need to do things differently. I knew virtually nothing about internet marketing! Thank God, I met Gail Walker, who introduced me to whatbusinesstodo.com. Gail and I met on an internet forum and became very good friends. She had been attending whatbusinesstodo.com webinars and learning all about search engine optimization (SEO), keywords and the benefits of blogging and writing articles to attract people who were looking for her content. With her help, I began to discover the real benefits of internet marketing and to develop my own internet marketing solutions for my YTB business.
Now, the bulk of my marketing is done online. Through my online marketing, I am continuing to build my team, and I am now only a few people away from achieving my current goal of getting into "Coach's Corner". I still distribute the YTB Success From Home Magazine and traditional marketing materials, and I still have the belly-to-belly meetings with people, but with the assistance of whatbusinesstodo.com, I have learned online marketing techniques that are working for me. In an article that I recently read on the subject, the McDar Internet Marketing Consultants discuss 12 benefits of Internet Marketing, including saving money, convenience, expanded growth and more! These tips, techniques and tools I am also teaching my team to use.
Think about it like this: When Jesus lived on earth, he was able to heal, deliver and make whole, every person that he encountered. But that was where his limitations were... with the people that he encountered face-to-face. But when Jesus departed the earth, he said that it would be better for him to leave because when he left, he would send another Comforter. That Comforter is the Holy Spirit, who lives in the heart of every believer and has no limitations of time, location or space. So while Jesus was limited to the people in the places where he was physically, the Holy Spirit is everywhere at the same time! The difference between Jesus and the Holy Spirit is akin to the difference between traditional marketing strategies and online or internet marketing strategies. With traditional marketing, you are virtually limited to the people you meet or encounter one-on-one. With internet marketing, you have access to the entire world of online visitors -- millions upon millions of people -- all at the same time.
The benefits of internet marketing are vast. Your product or service can be seen and experienced by people all over the world. While you definitely want to target your market, your target -- when you switch from traditional to online marketing - increases significantly, to include a worldwide audience. Imagine how small a percentage of your new worldwide market you'd need to attract in order to be completely financially free and never need to work again! If you think about it, it boggles the mind.
