Going From Successful Affiliate Marketing to Starting an Online Marketing Network

Most experts are in agreement that affiliate marketing is probably the easiest way for a new home business owner to start making money online. When your list is big enough, adding a powerful MLM company and starting an Online Marketing network as another income stream can really boost your bottom line as long as you do it the right way.Building a responsive email subscriber list is ALWAYS the first step to being successful online. But, getting your list to be responsive to your offers is not always that easy. Start off by always providing value in your broadcasts. Give tips and strategies that you've used and have been successful for you. Avoid anything spammy and really try to be entertaining. We as a society LOVE to be entertained and are naturally attracted to those that entertain us. Think about how highly we view Hollywood stars, TV personalities, and top athletes. The public loves them because they entertain us it's plain and simple.Use the affiliate products you market BEFORE you send them out so you can verify how good they really are. I can't believe how many people actually skip this step in order to save a few dollars. Most affiliate products are relatively inexpensive, and the amount of money you can make from 1 responsive customer far outweighs the money you'll spend to try the products out. No one likes to buy garbage products and if you are the one that sold it to them, there goes your credibility.Your list is like gold, and you need to treat it that way. So once you have them buying from you on a regular basis, it's time to attract people to your new online marketing network. Treat the MLM that you sign up for in the exact way you would an affiliate product - try it out FIRST. If the products are good and the company has a good reputation, you can begin recruiting.Don't go out and sell it like most MLMers do - they talk about how great the products is and how much money you can make with xyz company and try to convince you. Instead, announce to your list that you have found an online marketing network opportunity that you think will TRULY change your life and you're giving a select few people an opportunity to join you. Give them an application to fill out to see if they qualify. If you've offered good affiliate products and entertained your list, people should be jumping at the opportunity because you've established yourself as an entertaining person (they'll be naturally attracted to you) and someone who knows how to help them through the quality affiliate products you represent.
