Marketing and selling both promote a product, but are vastly different in their approach if you are doing it right.  Often times marketing jobs can appear to involve selling, when in reality a good marketer should be promoting, educating and exciting people about a product.

A network marketing business may at first look like a sales job.  At first glace you may think that you are selling products and selling opportunities to build your down line.  But in reality what you want to be doing is marketing your business and creating interest.

Marketing is about creating excitement about a product and making it a MUST HAVE item.  In essence, it is not a hard sell, but an awareness about what the product can do for the customer.  Building a brand and having a following is essential to a good marketing campaign.

To market successfully, one must get there name out to the public in a variety of mediums.  But getting your name out is not good, if once people arrive at your website, you lose them with a boring site.  You want to entice the customer, making them want to be a part of it.  Similar to the dating game, coming on too strong can turn someone off, but being boring is a sure way to lose them as well.  There is a perfect balance between the two that wins.

You want people to want in, to want to be a part of this exciting opportunity and to believe in the product and/or business.  There should never be a sales pitch that pushes a potential client.  High pressure sales does not work in this arena and only drives people away.  The more pressure behind a sale, the more illegitimate a product looks.

A network marketing business relies on followers, building a clientele and building relationships.  The best way to begin any relationship is with trust and understanding.  By evaluating the needs of your audience, you can cater to them and appeal to their inner self.  Create the need in them by positioning your business and product as something they cannot live without.

Market with creativity.  Use it as an opportunity to express yourself and bring in like minded individuals that will not only become successful in their own right, but contribute to your success and the success of your business.  Multi level marketing can be a win win for everyone involved.

Afraid that living in a small town or not knowing a lot of people will keep you from being successful in your business? Don’t be. When I first started my own business I had just moved to a small town in Northern California where I didn’t know more than a handful of people, but I was determined to not let that slow me down or stop me from achieving the kind of success I deserve. The first thing I thought to myself was, ok I don’t know a lot of people here, so how do I meet new people to join my business?

For me the obvious answer was to turn to the internet. I definitely did not want to be handing out flyers in the grocery store parking lot or hounding my old friends and family anymore. The biggest benefit to growing a business online is there are millions of people on the internet looking to start a business and all I had to do was figure out a way to find them. With Facebook and Twitter becoming so popular I decided to try to use them as a platform to meet knew people and expand my business, maybe even learn a thing or two along the way.

And boy did I.

I quickly figured out I wasn’t the only one to come up with this brilliant idea, but saw nothing but person after person trying to push their business opportunity on to others. THIS DOESN’T WORK!!! That’s not how to get people to trust you. If you really want to grow a business you have to actually bring value to others. Ok, before I start going off on that tangent I’ll get back to the original topic of not knowing many people.

So I took this new found knowledge and went to the internet to do some research on how to actually get leads and meet more people the right way. If you’ve done any kind of research on network marketing or home based businesses then you know there are no shortages of business opportunities or “automated” systems to join. I’m the kind of person that likes to research everything before I buy so I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me. After hours and hours of researching countless websites and systems I kept coming across one particular marketing system and company that seemed to have its act together. The more research I did, the more I saw that the leaders in network marketing were all using the system as well.

I’ve always known that if you want to be successful in anything, look to the leaders of the industry to see what they are doing, then copy them and do what they do. I’m glad I was able to remember that mindset because it’s changed my life in more ways than one. Living in a small town doesn’t even come to mind now and it hasn’t hurt my business at all.

So for anyone that is concerned that they may not be able to start a business and grow it to the success that they’d like because they don’t know a lot of people put those fears away, with the internet and some great training the sky is the limit!
