Will the great debate over offline and online methods ever be settled? Probably not completely. But I have a prediction for the future of MLM methods. I also know Daegen Smith, Mike Dillard and David Wood agree with me on this.

The future of MLM lies in the merging of the two methods.

MLM is simply an industry of relationships.

Even when marketing online relationships are being built. Online marketers call it “building their list”, offline marketers call it their “warm market”. Essentially offline and online methods are the same, yet different.

The online methods allow for more time leverage. There is a potential for unlimited exposures to your primary business through the use of the internet using the effort it would take to make one offline presentation. However, even if you record a live presentation of yourself, it’s not very personal and it loses some of the intimate connection that an offline presentation can give.

Building excitement for a live webinar presentation can be effective and be used with online invites and in a home presentation. With technology it is possible to do an in home presentation with your guests watching a live broadcast together with 100’s of others that are watching through the internet.

Sitting around a computer screens with your home presentation guests may sound silly but I’m challenging you that it can be effective when done properly. When prospects can see that there are other people interested in an MLM opportunity it creates a phenomenon. Just the presence of other participants creates a testimony that this MLM opportunity is attracting attention and is worth listening to.

That is the purpose of building anticipation and excitement for home presentations. This same thing is being utilized in the online marketing setting. By creating a feeling of urgency, value and limited registered guest spots people will get on a webinar presentation and feel the same synergy and the excitement of an offline presentation.

Already marketers use a combination of offline and online techniques, if you’re marketing online you’re doing it without knowing.

Do you have a Facebook or Twitter? Your friends list/followers are part of your online warm market.

You aren’t going to make a fortune in this industry by looking at your computer screen. This is an industry of building trust and relationships. In order to build trust and relationships you must connect and communicate with people, which is exactly what offline marketers do. Pick up the phone and call your prospects or initiate a conversation with someone on your friends list, and ask the Magic Question.

Really, I mean it. Go do it…. Read what the Magic Question is first though.

Here’s to OUR Success,

I’ll admit it.  When I started in this industry I was a total noob and knew nothing about marketing online.  I didn’t even know what Pay Per Click was.  I am so embarrassed to say that when I first heard it I was watching a Mike Dillard video and I thought he was saying “paper click”.  So I couldn’t even google it to find out what he was talking about!

In the video I saw Mike Dillard was saying that he only uses Pay Per Click for marketing and that it is the first form of marketing a new marketer should learn.   I have heard others recommend that every entrepreneur starting out in MLM should start out using Pay Per Click.  I’m here to disagree, and to tell you why I will never use Pay Per Click.  At least, I won’t for my primary business.

I know, you’re thinking I’m crazy to disagree with Mike Dillard.  But here’s why.  Pay Per Click is rather technical and takes an analytical mind to perfect it.  It holds a reputation of being highly competitive and can be intimidating to many people.  And it has an expensive trial and error period.  For someone just starting out it may get more exposure quicker, but it is going to cost more.

Therefore, I do NOT recommend Pay Per Click to anyone that is new to internet marketing because there are too many basics in this industry to learn. This industry attracts a lot of first time opportunists who are inexperienced in MLM and internet marketing and have never heard of Pay Per Click. I should know, I’m the one that thought Mike Dillard was talking about “paper click”.

Also, in MLM you can count on that what you do in your business is going to be mimicked by those you sponsor.  So if the majority of your marketing is Pay Per Click, that’s what most of your downline is going to think they need to be doing.  And when it doesn’t work for them, they are going to leave.

Now if you are a person that has the technical skills needed to be effective with Pay Per Click then I strongly encourage you to pursue this form of advertising, because there are a lot of noobs out there that don’t have the knack for it and they won’t even be competition for you.  But if you haven’t discovered your natural ability in marketing yet, or you know for a fact that you don’t have the skills for Pay Per Click, leave it for those that do, because they will crush you.  Even if you study Pay Per Click advertising, if you don’t have the natural patience and skill for it, the competition does.

You need to find the form of marketing that is fun for you.  Something that you will wake up everyday and be happy to do it.  So happy that you would do it even if you didn’t get paid.  OK, so maybe not that happy, because everyone wants to get paid for their work.

If you believe that Pay Per Click is your calling for marketing learn how to do it from the best.
