In this second part of our blog series Network Marketing Mix, we'll further explore how the Internet can benefit network marketers. The Internet plays a huge role in network marketing companies - you can sell products, recruit people for your downline, and manage your commissions - all online. If you are a network marketer, you are probably very familiar with the Internet and how it can benefit your business.
As a refresher for experienced networkers and an
introduction to newbies, we want to answer the question:
What are the benefits of the Internet for Network Marketers?
Benefit #1 The
Internet is accessible.
Basically anyone in the US, and in many countries of the
world, can get online. With internet cafes, public libraries, smartphones, and
numerous free wi-fi hotspots, it is hard NOT to get online these days. Nearly
80% of people in North America are online. You can easily manage your business
from any location and on the go from your phone. Best of all, your potential
customers and new recruits also have easy internet access, making them more
accessible to you.
Benefit #2 The
Internet is affordable.
The Internet makes marketing and managing your business easy. You have access to free marketing techniques like email marketing, blogging, and social media. There are many affordable marketing options, like PPC Campaigns. You can also use a marketing system, such as our TitanTeambuilder, which is specifically tailored to network marketers. This kind of affordable software includes marketing tools like landing pages, but also lets you manage your business. Software like a CRM / Contact Manager makes it easy to manage your downline and stay connected with them. Compared to the expense of face – to – face selling (travel expenses, time commitments, party hosting, conference fees, etc.), online selling has a very low price tag.
Benefit #3 The
Internet is prolific.
The Internet is everywhere. It allows you to reach people on
the other side of the country, and on the other side of the world. Through
social media, you can form a connection with potential customers and recruits.
The Internet makes staying connected easy and takes it beyond the regional
constraints of small businesses. Never before in history was it so simple to
run a small business on a massive scale. This is in part responsible for the
huge increase in home-based businesses. More than 14 million men and
women own their own home-based business. Home-based businesses generate more than
$1 trillion annually in the U.S, and have seen a 15.6% growth annually since
1995.
