Social Marketing. The New Tool In Network Marketing
Success in Network Marketing comes to those who stay current with the different ways people connect with each other and find the information they desire. The Internet’s latest trend will be quite profitable for those who are aware of this trend.
Social networking sites are becoming more and more popular on the internet. People are finding various communities and taking advantage of the ability to share and connect with like minded people. Search engines are no longer the number one means for locating the information they desire. They turn to the social networks and the experiences and suggestions from the participants in these networks. The number of adults and business people participating in these social networks is the fastest growing segment of the population to do so. The income level of this segment tends to be higher than average.
These networks are being used successfully by people from many different areas of our society. Doctors, lawyers, restaurant owners, specialty store owners and musicians are just a few. These networks are no longer reserved for teenagers and young adults. If you explore any of these sites you can see for yourself. The people that land on your profile are there for a reason. They are looking for what you have to offer. If they identify with and like your profile (which can and should include audio, pictures, text and video… in various combinations), you will soon be contacted via email or phone.
Old school recruiting is a thing of the past.
The process of chasing friends, family and co-workers and invoking the “three foot rule” are all now things of the past. Dealing with rude and obnoxious strangers who hang up on you will also be a distant memory. The process of trying to grow your business will no longer seem like such an arduous task because your interactions with people will be much more productive and enjoyable. Rejection is still part of the picture (it will just be less harsh and hopefully less frequent) because lets face it, not everybody is going to purchase what you have to offer. Your downline will start to grow because you will be viewed as a leader and someone they can trust.
I am sure many people made money using these old and tired techniques. The problem is most people have seen these before and they don’t really work anymore. People run for the hills when you say you would like them to attend a meeting, watch a video or simply read some literature. The rejection and fear of the rejection is what keeps many newcomers from succeeding. Social marketing techniques bring interested people to the newcomer and they will start to experience some success.
As we all know, residual income is the goal of all networking businesses. In order to achieve this a couple of things need to be in order. First of all, the product or service must be useful for consumers. The second thing is you must be able to grow your customer base. The methods to be used for growing your customer base must be simple, honest and duplicable. If your downline sees success from the methods you show them, your residual income will continue to build.
There is no time like the present!
Web 2.0 and Social Marketing offers great benefits to those who take advantage of them. In the world of Network Marketing, being chased is much more fun (and more profitable) than being the one doing the chasing. The next two years should prove to be very lucrative for those implementing these techniques.
