online network marketing

Well, this lens is about taking the first steps to building your online business so let's take a few with a child's game. Remember this one? Hopscotch

Remember how to play? The object is to advance your marker and hop through the course. Sometimes squares will be skipped, sometimes you may go back- just don't step on the lines.

What is stepping over the line in Internet marketing business? Well, for me, stepping over the line is when you treat people in your business in a way that you would not want to be treated.

For example, pestering people with calls, spamming, bothering people at the grocery store or any of those techniques. This lens will walk you through some ways to build your business without ever stepping on or over the lines.

Let's hop onto square one. You did your homework, and found the perfect MLM company for you. Not sure if you picked the right company? Take a step back off the game board and reevaluate.

Well, most up lines are going to tell you to start with your "warm" market. You get excited, this sounds good, who's warm?

Well, hang on to you chair as they start to explain that these are your friends and family and colleagues. You shrink a little and start making some mental notes of who would like your product or opportunity

Well, thanks for joining us and please leave mom and dad alone.

Internet network marketing is by far the best and fastest way to generate free high quality leads and prospects for your home based MLM or network marketing business. There are now huge opportunities to open up an Internet based network marketing business without having to be a webmaster.

I learned how to do this after I found Ann Sieg author of The Renegade Network Marketer and enrolled in the Renegade University

What is this all about?

Ann's book explains that the traditional ways of building a network marketing business through warm markets and hotel meetings are a thing of the past. She shows you how to start making money right away by adding VALUE to people, helping them learn and grow. Not SELLING them stuff. No one likes that. Ick!

The first step is to buy her book. You will love it and it is money well spent. Are you starting your business on a shoestring? No worries, Ann Sieg will give you a 50% commission every time you refer a sale of the book. She's very bright and fun and you will be happy to refer the book. Two times is all you need to make that book FREE.

Okay step three. The Renegade Network Marketer is so chock full of information that it may just knock your socks off. But no worries, someone brilliant realized that too. (Mike Klingler by the way) and he started the Renegade University.

Step three. Sign up for this. It is FREE. This is hands down the most user friendly system out there for the Renegade. He literally walks you, point and click through every step of setting up links, affiliate programs and most importantly FREE ways to generate traffic and leads through social networking.

What is social networking? You are at a site right now that is a great example of this.

Social networking or Web 2.0 is the new wave of the Internet. It used to be that the Internet was a sky full of website stars. You could gaze upon them but never touch them. The new Internet allows people to communicate through articles, messages, video and audio in ways never before possible.

Now you can interact with the content on the web, share ideas and connect with other people with similar interests.

There are thousands of social networking sites and that number is growing daily. And by using this type of online marketing you can build your list by ten, or twenty or 50+ people a day (while earning money) through other streams of income.

Or if you are not interested in selling anything or monetizing your online marketing presence, you don't have to. You can simply use social network marketing to share your thoughts, ideas and information to generate leads at no cost.

Think this sounds too hard? No way. The techniques that I am looking forward to sharing with you are much simpler to use than building websites and hoping to convince someone to opt into your capture page. Well, let the games begin. Hopscotch anyone?
