There are many different ways to make money on the Internet today. One of those is network marketing. In this article, let's take a look at whether network marketing is a good business for you to join and how you can be successful with it.

One of the biggest problems network marketers face is how to recruit new distributors. In the old days of MLM, you were told to make a list of everyone that you knew and start contacting them.

This meant that you are contacting your relatives, friends, business associates, neighbors, and so on. Many MLM businesses told you to use a curiosity approach when inviting them to view your new business.

Because nobody had any idea what was going on this did work initially. Eventually, over the years this method does not work anymore because people grew weary of what they were being asked to do.

Today the Internet is automating much of the recruiting process. Depending on the product line that you represent it is possible to develop a worldwide business in a short period of time using Internet marketing.

The smart network marketer creates a landing page where they give away a free report describing ways to make money online. They then promote this landing page and every time a visitor comes they are asked to give their contact information in exchange for the report.

The way to properly make this work is to have a prewritten series of messages set up in an auto responder. In these you are describing a little bit of how to make money online with network marketing. Of course in your signature file you have a link to the business opportunity that you represent.

Doing this accomplishes two things.

1. It allows you to build a mailing list for future follow-up on the other products you might sell.

2. It gives you a way to promote your network marketing opportunity in a nonthreatening way.

Using this strategy we can say that network marketing is a good business to join because there are people making money in it for the first time in there life. No longer do you have to contact friends and relatives to build your business.

What you do have to do is develop Internet marketing skills and learn how to get traffic to your landing page. You also have to know how to build a landing page or hire someone to do it for you.

This is a few tips about network marketing today. It is a good business model to follow and almost anyone can develop another income stream from it.
