What Are The Advantages Of Marketing On The Internet Versus Traditional MLM?

Internet Marketing to me is much more efficient than doing offline traditional multi-level marketing. In this article I want to show the reader exactly what are the advantages of marketing on the internet versus the traditional offline mult-level marketing business.

Internet marketing is much more suited to people with busy lives and work schedules and can give you the same kind of income as someone who is building a downline in a traditional mlm company. What I love about internet marketing is that there are no meetings, you don\'t have to go around hounding people down about your business, you don\'t have to bug family members and friends, you can easily automate most of your advertising processes, you have a much wider arena of people to promote your business to, and it can be very cheap! Also if you have a success system in place for bringing in and following up with your leads you really don\'t have to spend very much time each week building your business.

I have organized a series of automated advertising methods I use each week that work for me all of the time and I don\'t have to spend really anymore than 2-5 hours a week marketing my business. All I do is pay for my ad and copy and paste, I write 30 fresh articles a month and submit them to a company called Isnare which they in turn submit my article to thousands of publishers and article directories who get me exposure all over the internet and listings in the search engines. I upload videos on YouTube, I use SiteSubmit Plus to get my leadpage even more exposure all through the search engines and 500,000 directories. To take it even further I use ezine ads and creditbased safelists which allow me to get my ad infront of thousands of network marketers at the click of a button, I use DoctorTraffic as an automated way to pull in leads from traffic exchanges.

All these are part of my success system! It\'s hard to do these type of things in the offline world. I\'m not saying it\'s impossible but I bet your costs would be a heck of a lot higher. Just think of what it cost to do a couple thousand piece mailing to peoples homes to inform them about a business in order to generate leads for whatever you\'re doing. I\'m investigating a Reverse Mortgage business right now that cost about $900 to send to I believe about 5 to 10,000 peoples homes. Do you know how much internet advertising I could buy with $900 dollars? And I could hit way more than 10,000 people. These are the reasons why I love to do internet marketing versus offline marketing and traditional mlm. And this is also why I would advise new marketers to keep most of there network marketing business on the internet as opposed to doing it offline.

When you buy into a traditional multi-level marketing franchise it becomes somewhat of a shock for someone who has been used to being an employee of a company for so many years to find out that they are going to basically have to become a totally different person in order to achieve any great level of success with the opportunity. You\'re probably trying to figure out what I mean by this statement! MLM traditionaly speaking is almost heavily grounded in sales.

You have to be able to physically go up and talk to people about becoming a distributor on your team. You have to commit yourself to making appointments with interested parties either in their home or bringing them to weekly company meetings where your guests are able to see a presentation of the plan presented to them usually by one of your upline sponsors who are successful at what they do. You have to constantly keep talking to people about becoming a distributor or buying xyz product.

For someone who is just used to working, going home everyday and staying in the same cycle, this is a very antagonizing adjustment! Most people traditionaly need to have a very big reason why they need to change who they are internaly and many individuals would rather stay the same even if presented with the opportunity to make some decent money if it involves a major change in who they are.

This is a big reason why alot of people will turn you down when you present an MLM franchise to them. Deep inside they know that there really is some money in the opportunity you are speaking of, but the change of self is just too much of an adjustment for them. Online network marketing on the other hand offers you the same amount of pay, but at the same time allows you to stay somewhat within your comfort zone while you are trying to learn.

This allows you to slowly change who you are instead of having to start immediately changing over night. From the things that I have pointed out in this article you should now have a good idea what are the advantages of marketing on the internet when compared to the traditional mlm model.
