Offline vs Online MLM Methods

Contrary to what many marketers advertise, offline methods still work. The offline methods of marketing use personal contacts from family, friends and business contacts from work, this is called the “warm market”. You get in touch with these people to make presentations to and you will get some sign ups.

Some people have very many connections with people around them and that is why they become successful offline and that is why these methods still work. The people that can make this work have had years of building up contacts through other means and have a large network of people that they know.

The person that has built their network of business associates and friends combined with effective communication skills can dominate and sponsor a lot of people through offline methods.

But that isn’t the case for all marketers using offline methods. So what happens to the marketer that hasn’t worked in a setting that put him in a position of influence with their contacts. What happens when you run out of people to talk to? What happens if you haven’t lived somewhere very long and you don’t know anyone?

This problem has made the internet a very popular place for MLM. More marketers are turning to online methods because  they just don’t have a large enough contact list.

The marketers that have been using offline methods have been transitioning to online marketing to broaden their market and find more new people to talk to, but the problem is that methods used for each are different.

Old style MLM sponsors help their downline set goals for showing the business opportunity to about 10-20 people per month. Showing a business plan in traditional methods involve either putting together a presentation for a one on one sit down, a home party where someone invites guests for you to show to, or even as big as doing a presentation in a hotel conference room. However, in all of these forms of presentations the marketer must be physically present. It is draining and time consuming and is not a very effective form of presenting the MLM business opportunity.

New style methods using the internet have goals of showing presentations to 10-20 people per DAY, not month. Old school marketers that are used to making in person presentations are skeptical at first and don’t see how this works.

The first MLM team I ever joined was started by a married couple that had had success using offline methods. They brought their experience for building teams in a traditional setting and were trying to bring their business to the internet.

They took the concept of presenting the business in a person to person setting and just moved it over into the form of a “live webcast”. There may be 10-20 people in that webcast, but they were not invited there by just one person. The webcast is hosted by a team leader and members of the downline invite their one prospect for the day to view the webcast.

Successful internet marketers are reaching and presenting their business to a minimum of 20 people per day. That is 20 people per day that ONE marketer is reaching on the internet. If you haven’t had any success with marketing online or you are coming from traditional methods this isn’t easy to get your head around at first. The internet is that powerful when it comes to marketing.

The only way to create this amount of presentations in a day is through an internet marketing system. A system allows for prospects to learn about your MLM opportunity through an automated process 24 hours a day.

I have used two different systems that operate to drive traffic and leads to your primary business. A marketing system is a tool, not an actual MLM company. But without a system in place the exposure of prospects to your MLM business is going to be minimal. Out of the two different systems I have used for marketing online by far the best I have come across is MLSP.

MLSP is a lead generation tool with step by step video instruction on set up and usage so that even an internet novice can have it up and running in a day and start putting it to use. Even more impressive is the hours of training available on mastering internet marketing strategies with new training being added every week.

MLSP works for you as a promotional tool for your primary company. Once you set up this animal of a marketing machine it is placing a means of marketing your company out on the internet that operates on a 24 hour basis.

WARNING: MSLP isn’t for the faint of heart, and it’s not meant to replace your offline marketing.
It’s a tool intended to be used IN ADDITION to offline marketing.

MLSP has quickly become the top recommended marketing system for MLM. The results of what an automated system can do for you MLM company is beyond the limits of what can be covered in just one post.
