Network Marketing Today - How Network Marketing Today is Different Than it Use to Be

Network Marketing Today and How It's Changed DramaticallyIf you look at the history of network marketing, and compare it with today, you will see an enormous difference. Network marketing today, in my opinion, is vastly easier than it use to be. No longer do you have to bug your friends and family, no longer do you have to sell a bunch of product, and no longer do you have to worry about finding people who are genuinely interested in your business.All of this, is because of the Internet. Network marketing today, uses the power of the Internet to generate an endless stream of traffic and new leads. Online marketing gives you the ability to promote your websites to millions of people every single day, if you know how to do it right.Education is what will give you the power to put your website on the first page of Google. Imagine if you had your article on the first page, or even the second page of Google. You would be generating new leads for your business left and right. But you must learn how to truly harness the power of the Internet.And I'm NOT saying that you have to become an Internet marketing guru. It's not NEARLY as difficult as many think. And no it's not impossible to get your website on the first page of Google. I started learning online marketing just a few months ago. A few days ago, I Google searched one of the keywords I wrote articles on to see how I was doing, and wouldn't you know it...three, that's 3, of my articles were on the first page of Google. A little training in search engine optimization goes a very long way.The Greatest Asset You Can Have In Network Marketing TodayIn one word...mentor. I say this because having a mentor can literally shed months if not years off of your learning curve in this industry. A true mentor will walk you step by step through everything he or she has done to achieve success. A true mentor will teach you everything you need to know to be successful in this industry, including article and video marketing, and search engine optimization (which will give you that spot on the first page of Google). There is no sense in trying to learn this on your own, which could take a very long time, when you can just have somebody who's already done it, show you how to do it too.But not every sponsor you talk to is a 'mentor' as they may claim to be. They say that once you join their company they'll teach you everything you need to know about marketing yourself, and then once you join, they disappear and maybe call you every once in a while to see how you're doing. Sound familiar? Don't worry, myself and many others have been through it too.So avoid this. Have them start training you BEFORE you join their company, just to see if their the real deal, and you'll know this by the results that you get through that little bit of training.In Network Marketing Today, The Marketing System Matters The MostIn network marketing today [http://hubpages.com/hub/networkmarketingtoday], the marketing system you use is so much more important than the company that you join. And the reason is this...you can be with the best company on the planet and fail miserably, if you don't know how to market yourself. The system is what will generate the leads you need to be successful with whatever company you're with. Once you know how to market yourself, you can be successful with ANY company!Imagine if you were with the greatest company in the world and were only able to generate three leads per month. Do you really think you could be successful only generating three leads per month? But imagine if you're with a newer company that's not quite as good, but you're generating 50 leads per month. You have a much better chance of signing up 3 out of 50 people than 3 out 3 people. Learn how to market yourself, and you will see success.
