Before I began promoting my current business I asked many network marketers what they thought about growing their network marketing business using the internet. Most said it's not possible. They said it wasn't personal enough. They said network marketing was built on building relationships and that just wasn't possible in the cold online world. This made me ask why? I asked if any of them had used the internet to build their current network marketing business and they said that they had. When I dug a little deeper I found that most of these people who said that they had used the internet as one of their many business building tools had done nothing more than bought leads and put them into an auto responder for follow up. Now . . . In my view, that is a very narrow view of what I meant when I asked the question. There is much more to internet marketing than buying leads and popping them into an auto responder, but yet that is all THEY had done and at the same time they claimed that it was not possible to build a network marketing business fully online. I thought . . . How can THEY answer a question such as this without fully exploring the topic of internet network marketing in full? The answer to this question is: That's all they knew. From their experience, it hadn't been terrible effective for them, so that meant internet network marketing was not a possibility. Well, I almost believed them. I almost followed their advice and I almost turned my back to the possibility of internet network marketing. But then I said to myself . . . What if THEY were wrong? I wasn't satisfied with their answer or their effort so I set out to test the hypothesis that one could build a network marketing organization purely online. Well, A little over 6 months later. I've personally grown a team of over 2000 people and I've personally enrolled 175 into my business. I never made a cold call and 95% of the people that joined my business did so WITHOUT any interaction on my part. As an example, I just came home from one of the most powerful seminar experiences that I have ever had in my entire life and when I logged in to check my email account 10 new people had personally enrolled under me and 45 people had joined my business in my downline. In a little over 48 hours my team grew by 55 people completely passively as far as I was involved. At the conference I met and hugged many many people that had joined my network marketing organization purely online. They all greeted me with a smile and we all greeted as if we were old friends. So I leave you with this question . . . Can a network marketing organization be grown solely using the Internet? Can relationships be created and nurtured purely online? Never let anyone cloud your judgment on your path to success. If anyone tells you that something can't be done make it your purpose to prove them wrong and you will. You define your destiny in your own way NOT someone else's opinion. |
