I have been internet marketing for quite sometime now. I have reached many successes as well as reaching many failures. I may not make 6-figures like many of the pro’s out there but I am not disappointed with where I am. Maybe you are still struggling to be one of the folks that “make it” in internet marketing. I know where you are coming from. You research, study, and soak up every piece of information you find on blogs.
You may think the latest product launch is what will take you over the top and finally help you to find success. I know, I’ve been there and done that too.
What You May Not Realize
While you are busy studying, researching, and trying out multiple ways to make money online, you may not realize just how much you have already learned. I was the same way. I realized just how much I had learned when I started my fitness business. I wanted to get my business out there as quickly as possible.
I took what I learned about internet marketing and applied it to my business in network marketing. Network marketing techniques have usually been about face to face interaction, some cold calling, and talking with family/friends. Many network marketers are just now learning about the power of using the internet to reach out to a much larger audience.
As a struggling internet marketer, you know that it is all about multiple streams of income. You can’t place all of your eggs in one basket. If one area dries up, you need to have other areas to fill the gap. Network marketing is a great option to do this and apply what you know to get your business going. You are already ahead of most network marketers who probably don’t even know what Twitter is or how to rank a site in the search engines.
Choose Your Network Marketing Company Wisely
Not all network marketing companies are created equal. You want to promote products that you can believe in and since network marketing is more about promoting yourself, you’ll want to use the products and believe in them.
That is why the health and wellness industry was an easy choice for me. It will never run dry! People are always seeking ways to improve their health and weight loss is one of the major ways that people are after.
When I became an Independent Beachbody® Coach, I didn’t realize how much fun it would be. You see, the money is a motivating factor, but I have a passion for fitness and have fun promoting it. I use the products and the best thing is they are working for me. I am losing weight and getting into the best shape of my life. You can follow my progress on my weight loss blog.
How I Use My Internet Marketing Skills in Network Marketing
I have been receiving constant traffic to my web site since the day I launched it and it’s only growing. Here is a list of some of the internet marketing methods I have been applying thanks to what I’ve learned from trying everything else to make money online:
- Blogging – no-brainer here! Blogging brings natural search traffic.
- Social networking – Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube bring me traffic daily.
- Video – I post almost daily video blogs of my progress (traffic from YouTube as well.)
- Article marketing – Always a great way to drive traffic and it’s free.
- Email marketing – I set up an autoresponder and blog broadcast.
- PPC – I do a little pay-per-click advertising (still learning.)
Those are just some of the ways to promote but more than what most network marketers do. You see, you may feel like you are failing in internet marketing but you are succeeding more than you know. You are building up marketing skills and if you apply them to other areas, you not only create another stream of income, you may just reach the level of financial success you are striving for.
If network marketing interests you, let’s team up. I would love to have more internet marketers on my team!
