Social Networking and Network Marketing

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.

    The key to social networking sites is to make friends first. Don’t go in and openly promote your network marketing business - get to know the people and contribute value to the group, and prospects will naturally start coming to you.

    Social networks can be useful for promoting your MLM network marketing opportunity but you also have to be careful on how you do it. You don’t want to look spammy as no one would pay attention to you. And you also have to keep in mind that most members there are for having fun and would never be interested in starting their own business so you need to find those with the most chances to be interested in your offer and approach them in a very subtle manner and don’t look “salesy”.
