Internet Network Marketing…

Internet and network marketing merging has created a huge opportunity for the average person to build a global business and create true wealth. The MLM industry has changed over the years and now attracts more professionals and high powered business people.

For one thing, the companies entering the arena are well capitalized, sophisticated, and run by fortune 500 type management. The other major element is the global growth of people on the Internet and intelligent forward thinking entrepreneurs developing easy ways to harness the awesome power of the world wide web.

Twenty years ago when I built an organization of over 21,000 people in just over 2 years, the internet and network marketing were separate things. We were doing it the old school way and inviting friends and family to meetings.

There were booklets that told the company story and presented the opportunity that we had to purchase and give out to prospects. There were these 8/12 by 11 flip charts that you could sit down one on one with someone and explain the business opportunity.

The conference call was being used back then but people had to call long distance to call in and listen to a live presentation. Some companies were using videos where a company representative would give a professional presentation and the distributors had to buy those to give out to prospects. No wonder so many people failed in the past!

With the internet and mlm/network marketing today, all the hard expensive methods of marketing are a thing of the past. Attraction marketing using the internet has replaced dragging friends and family to a meeting. Services like GoToWebinar on the internet make it possible to have an interactive meeting online and have attendees from anywhere in the world.

The companies provide replicated company websites where your prospect can watch video presentations, read about the company, learn about the products,view the compensation plan, and do all this 24 hours per day 7 days per week without YOU being there. This is tremendous help to the new business entrepreneur because it saves all that money we used to spend on marketing materials.

The Internet has been growing and changing as well. Millions of people around the world are pouring onto the internet every day and millions are looking for a home based business.

Every 2.2 seconds another new person joins the Internet community. Every 11.6 seconds another brand new person starts a home-based business. The last few years has seen the social media sites become the popular places for people to connect and build relationships for business and pleasure.

Twitter is the latest social media to explode around the world and savvy marketers are capitalizing on this site to build businesses. Facebook is similar to Myspace and has quickly equaled Myspace which boast over 260 million users worldwide.

YouTube was bought by Google for millions because of the popularity and traffic on the site. Internet and network marketing combining is making it possible for the average person to build a massive organization with a six and even seven figure residual income today.
