HOW TO TRULY NETWORK MARKET! UPDATED

by Collette Johnson Collette's Naturals

Hello,
Networking is a simple concept: It means you want to share ideas and learn from others who are currently successful.

The most successful Network Marketers are those that go out of thier way to help others succeed. They do this simply by posting articles on everything from how to stay healthy to the best ways to advertise/promote your businesses, to mentoring others that are new to the business. They read the description on Groups to make sure what they are posting relates to the created group.

Some even go so far as to NEVER post thier link/business in any forum except those that are specifically marked "free advertising" or "affiliate marketing" etc. What they do is simply add thier business site/link beneath thier names in thier signatures.

These few people are very successful in the Internet/Network marketing arena BECAUSE they are building RELATIONSHIPS not just advertising thier businesses. When you build relationships with others instead of simply advertising your business opportunity.... You show others that you are successful enough that you can take the time to help them. Therefore they usually want to know what business you are in that has allowed you to become so successful that you have the time to help others while still earning a living! Those people will most likely either contact you to get more information or go to your Personal page on the site to get more information...some will even join you in your venture!

The basic start of any networking marketer should be setting up your home page. Do not just put your link on the page, you should tell something about yourself as well. Then tell everyone about your business and why you are in it etc. Also you should always include a picture of YOURSELF on the page. If all you do is put your pet, product etc on the page, no one is going to feel much like joining any groups you might start let alone trust you enough to visit your website/business site.

There are alot of scam artists and scammer businesses out there that prey on newbies to the internet business arena, and people who are looking for a business opportunity will be more apt to trust those whom they can see.

Basic rules of Groups/Forums:

DO NOT:
Post your business link in someone elses subject unless invited to do so

Advertise your business in any group unless the Group creator tells you its okay in the description

Be-little someone elses business/product

Engage in a debate on product/business (ie: mine is better than yours)


USE THE NETWORKING SITES EMAIL TO SPAM (ie:sell your business opp etc)
DO:

Create Groups

Join other groups and contribute information etc, make sure you read the description on the groups before you post to them

Help others

Post Blogs about How To Market, Webservices etc NOT AD FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Use the Classifieds on the site to promote your business

Use your business/site link in your signature Feature most sits provide

Use any feature that allows you to post a Bulletin as often as you can.

But most of all CREATE RELATIONSHIPS by participating in groups and helping others that ask for it.

If anyone else has anything to add to this blog please feel free to leave your comments!

Much Success to all!

Hi Gary
I dont know I guess I just like to network lol. I have alot of people in my network that joined before the launch. Only 11 in my direct downline but they in turn had several join thiers etc. You get points for that too.
Just invite those to join that you know will bring others into your network, then write blogs and join, post and create your own groups.
You get points for everytime someone posts to your groups.

Hi Collette,

You posted this blog about one year ago. Ah well, better late than never.

Learning & sharing as you rightly state are the basic building blocks to successful network marketing.

Technologies and tools change over time, but basic fundamentals do not.

This is a mindset that I strive to get across to my team members, but as with all things in life... those who are aware of it listen, and those who need it generally do not.

Many thanks,

Inaki Legorburu

Hi Inaki
You are so right. But at least you are doing what is right and telling your mentorees the right things to do.As the saying goes....you can lead a horse to water but you CAN NOT make him drink!
Thanks for your comments!
