MLM Traffic Secret - Why This May Be the Best Time in the History of MLM

How many times have you asked yourself if there really is a secret to generating traffic for your MLM business? After all, network marketers just need enough people to show the plan to, right? And those slick little company presentations would have us believe that everyone wants what we have to offer, and if not, they would happily become a regular customer on auto-ship. The reality can be somewhat different...What's more, it's our close friends and family who get to experience this 'great opportunity' before we roll it out to the masses. I mean, how difficult can it be?Without wanting to spout on about the vast bias towards MLM failure, we'd like to share with you in this article the real secret to MLM traffic generation and why this may indeed be THE best time to start an MLM business. Even if you're already involved in a work from home business, this secret applies to you just as effectively.So what is this great MLM traffic secret?Here it is: tools and systems now exist on the internet for anyone, even those who would freely admit to being technically challenged, to put together free and low-cost, and extremely successful large-scale marketing campaigns. What's more, the training and resources to achieve this are now much more readily available to help bring in large numbers of prospects.Think of a traditional network marketing business which relies upon the average person being able to duplicate a process; you know, get some training, draw up a list of your warm market to prospect, adopt the 3 foot rule of approaching anyone within arm's reach with your opportunity etc.Now, think of the enormous reach and scope of the internet. So what is the main advantage for network marketers using these tools and systems?Affordability.So why is this regarded as a secret?The internet now makes it possible through social media, for network marketers to become truly independent marketers. For the first time in the history of network marketing, you can build your business your way, utilising your personality. By now you should be getting excited! This in turn has network marketing companies worried because the internet allows savvy marketers like you, to blaze your own trail.Imagine if you're interested in health; think of how many great heath products you could offer the world? Do you think there might be thousands of other opportunities within this market? Do you think you need to be concerned about offering products from just ONE company, when you have the reach through social media to reach a global audience- mostly for free? The scope is only limited by your imagination! And of course network marketing companies are limited by what their distributors can claim about their products.The internet also allows you to focus and specialise in any niche of your choice.Up until recently the average person couldn't afford their own advertising budget or marketing campaign, nor did they possess the skills to do so, instead they were taught the traditional 'no-holds-barred' process of chasing people down, initiating contact at every opportunity, dropping off leaflets, samples, DVD's etc.How many people do you think you know who would be equipped to handle this type of process, regardless of their big why?Exactly.The internet however, allows MLMer's to use what we call 'smart marketing' strategies to attract a target market and interact with like-minded individuals using social media in most cases for free.The internet is still in its infancy and with the introduction of web 2.0 and social marketing platforms like Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg etc., network marketers and small business owners, have what can only be described as the best opportunity in the history of network marketing, to reach out through social media and connect with a world of interested prospects; prospects interested in what they have to offer. How exciting is that? Think of the possibilities.Consider that many of the top name gurus have only been around online for the last 10 years or so and you should see the potential. By adopting web 2.0 and social media smart marketing strategies, even the technically challenged will be able put together free/low-cost successful large-scale marketing campaigns. Will you be one of them?
