[N206]New Network Marketing Company

by Grant Soosalu, Gra

Using the power of Social Networking websites like MySpace or other blogging sites is a great way to promote your business. However, because most of these sites are free, they tend to provide a 'value-less' experience. Instead, a new type of Social Networking website - A Social Reward and Recognition space - can provide an incredibly valuable sales and marketing tool for a very small financial outlay. Let's illustrate this claim by examining a very real example.

Being a nominee on the1000best, a new social reward and recognition website is turning into a marketing dream for Helen Van Den Berg, a tour guide operating from a small remote town in Australia. Helen's profile as 1 of the1000best has seen her inundated with tributes and boosts from her clients, all with one very clear message that Helen is the best tour guide in the world.

Helen's nomination as 1 of the 1000 best tour guides in the world was gifted to her by friends as a way of rewarding, recognising and saying thank you. This gift gave her a Personal Space page on the1000best where Helen profiled herself, her own newly launched web site and her Tour Guide business.

As well as the profile, the website also encourages ongoing positive reinforcement for nominees by giving people the ability to boost' their favourite nominees on a daily basis and to send tribute messages. It is the tribute messages that are paying off handsomely for Helen. "I have been overwhelmed by the tributes I have received and I have been on a constant high with all the positive feedback. This website has to be the ultimate marketing tool - this type of marketing is priceless and it's lead to an amazing amount of traffic to my own website".

The1000best.com takes social networking in a totally new direction. Rather than just providing a platform to connect people, the1000best.com goes the next step by offering a gift of social reward and recognition. Generally, anyone can join a social network for free however to get connected on the1000best.com someone must value you enough to purchase a gift nomination and nominate you as 1 of the1000best in the world (according to them). People with business interests and who are fortunate and worthy of nomination then have a very public platform to market themselves by way of sharing the positive experiences of their clients with the world. Referral systems like this are worth their weight in gold.

Savvy business owners can also nominate their employees or business teams and use the power of social networking and social recognition to both reward their people and gain valuable positive advertising. This is a form of synergistic marketing, in which the business is linked to positive values and social appreciation. As Grant Soosalu, one of the developers of the1000best.com commented "Social Networking is a huge and growing phenomenon, and the1000best.com now provides a fantastic mechanism for showcasing your business by linking your people into this network of value".

So if you want to really make use of Social Networking to promote your business, and do so in a way that links to strong positive values, check out:

Have you read the report “Death of Network Marketing”? No? Well, it doesn't matter because I can briefly tell you what the report is about. It is about the new way that network marketing should be conducted, using the power of the internet. There are several terms for this new school network marketing. Some call it internet network marketing, some call it internet MLM. In this article, I shall address one question that will help you know more about the power of new school network marketing.

1) I have heard experts saying that you can automate your lead generation and follow up using new school network marketing. Is it true?

I am not sure if you have been involved in offline MLM before. Generally, for a traditional offline MLM, there is a lot of work involved.

Let's talk about the first step of collecting leads. One common way to do so is to speak to your friends, family, relatives or anyone you know personally. This is a very tedious process that has to be done manually. You have to approach them one by one.

The drawback of this method is that out of around 100 people you approached, perhaps only 1 or 2 of them are interested. The reason why this can occur is because the prospects you are approaching are not targeted. Most of them have no interest to be involved in any business opportunities and they may even be skeptical about network marketing.

However, let's consider that we are using the internet to generate leads. If you have been using the internet for a certain period of time, you will know that most people use the internet to search for information. They will usually use the search engine like Google or Yahoo to search for what they want to know.

If someone is interested is interested in any business opportunities, they will usually type in terms like “how to make money”, “how to become rich”, “mlm opportunities” etc… Knowing this, we can easily position ourselves before them and try to capture their email address.

One way you can do that is to create Google Adwords campaign. All you have to do is to set up the campaign once and it will do the work for you. Of course, you will have to monitor the result of your campaign from time to time. However, by using this method, you no longer have to collect leads one by one. Furthermore, the leads that are collected are of a higher quality.

In traditional MLM, you have to call up your prospect manually. Again, you have to do it one to one. You have to give the same presentation again and again. However, with new school network marketing, the follow up process can be automated. What you need is an auto responder.

Perhaps you do not know what is an autoresponder. Let me just give you a very simple example. Have you ever sent an email to your friend and you receive this reply, “Out of Office Notification”. Since your friend was not in the office, how could he reply you. Well, he used an autoresponder to do that. What an autoresponder can do is to follow up with your prospect automatically through several emails. All you need to do is to setup the autoresponder once.

The advantage of this method is that you have lots of time to follow up with your prospect and educate them about your product and you can do it in a non threatening manner. In the offline world, you will only have a short period of time to convince your prospect or they will be gone forever.
