Three Myths of Network Marketing on the Internet

There are a number of myths of an Internet MLM, here are just three of them.

Myth #1

Just call enough people and you will find great success in your Internet Network Marketing

If you’ve been in the industry world for any length of time I’m sure you’ve heard this false claim. It states it’s a numbers game and if you just spread the word to enough people you will be successful.
In essence, this assertion is true, but there is a HUGE misnomer in it.

Let me explain, true if you spread the word to enough people you will find success, but after buying leads and calling well over 500 people and not having one person join my business it’s not as easy as it sounds.

First you have to have the money to buy all those leads.

Most people don’t have this type of money to put out before finding any initial success.

You see it’s NOT just about calling people it’s about being GOOD at contacting people.

I wasn’t a good salesman and I didn’t have the money to continue my hard knock education to find a glimmer of hope.

Phoning leads is NOT as duplicatable as “they” say. What is duplicatable is having a direct marketing system to do the selling for you. That’s what works on the internet.

Myth #2

You can create financial success with little or no money.

This is one of my personal favorites. We have all been in a situation where we have been to a “ra ra” meeting and those at the front telling their stories are asked how did you get so many sales or how did you recruit so many people the answer will almost always be:

‘I just talked to everyone constantly , I was unemployed when I started this business’ Whatever. If it was that simple we all would have made it a long time ago right.

Myth #3

You cannot build a network marketing business using the internet

It’s normally the same people who say this are the same people who claim they have built a business with little or no money. Think about it, the internet is an good way of doing business. Millions upon millions are surfing the internet on a daily basis you can put yourself in front of these individuals passively.

When I started using the internet as my marketing medium for my business I requested the help of others that have been productive in promoting a residual income producing business.

I asked them if it was possible to create a huge income in the business using the internet. My question was met with overwhelming amounts of friction.

I was told that it simply couldn’t be done. I was told that it was not personal enough of a method for this business method to be used effectively in the way that I was referring.
I couldn’t understand why.

The internet is a personal method and is great for building personal relationships and the results of hundreds or thousands of network marketers have proved it.

So, if the above myths are things that don’t usually work, then what does work?

Generating your own leads works great, and you can do that on the internet, if you have some kind of system. Go to the following page, if you would like to learn about an Internet MLM system which will show you how to generate your own leads.
