Is there really such a thing as a simple, easy network marketing plan? Well, this is somewhat of a trick question. If by “simple easy network marketing” one is referring to a method of network marketing that requires no effort then it would be safe to say no such creature exists. However, if one is instead referring to the ability to promote a network marketing business in a relatively cost effective manner then, yes, there are ways to do this.

Of all the ways to cost effectively promote network marketing, the use of social networking sites have significant value. Anyone can create a profile for their network marketing business on a social networking site for free. This profile can then be used as a promotional vehicle and communications hub. Through the social networking site, one can write promotional blogs, send out news bulletins and amass a huge list of “friends” who may be interested both in your wares as well as becoming members of your sales network. Again, this is all free and the social networking sites actually encourage commercial ventures to create profiles.

If there was one caveat, however, it would be a warning NOT to use the social networking site’s e-mail system to spam other members. This will usually get a profile deleted quickly. But, if you play by the rules you can use a highly trafficked social networking site for your network marketing business. In fact, such a site may prove to be your best resource for potential customers and affiliates.
