Network Marketing or Multilevel Marketing has changed! Not everyone realises this yet, but Network Marketing is evolving and changing for the better. And the first thing to change will be the 97% failure rate. Because the old school outdated methods of recruiting people into your Network Marketing business are slowly being replaced by the new age of MLM which is marketing your business online.
Now don’t get me wrong. This is not something that will happen overnight, but it is happening right now at this minute. Every minute of every day someone is coming online for the first time to search for a way to resurrect their ailing Network Marketing business. And what they will find once they look hard enough will be a revelation to them, and the turning point of their Network Marketing business!
Because they will realise that they can actually build their business rapidly once they have learned what it takes! The number of people that distributors recruit online is far higher than the numbers recuited by using old style methods. So cheques will be higher. And that percentage will begin to fall!
Of course, just like in any business, there will still be a failure rate. Not everyone will want to work online, and not everyone will put in the effort it requires. Because there is a learning curve. When I first came online, I had no idea what most people were talking about! Autoresponders, hosting and webinars?! It was like some sort of parallel world! But several months down the road, it all makes complete sense, and I am learning more everyday!
Network Marketing Companies are going to have to invest in these changes too! Because anyone who begins to market their business online is going to want to be able to sign up reps online. They are going to want capture pages to get peoples name and email or phone details. They will also want a site that does the recruiting for them to a certain extent; where they can send their prospects 24/7 to watch videos or read information on their company.
Because there are now people who are signing up to a Network Marketing company online without ever having spoken to a distributor! And any company who does not have a website up and running to recruit someone without them speaking to a rep, is going to be missing out big time! Because if someone is determined to find an MLM company today, they will go to one they can find online.
So for now the old school methods are still being taught everyday. But eventually, as those of us who work online get out and about in our communities, we will help and educate those who use these old methods, and more and more people will come online to market their business.
Of course, Network Marketing will also still be done offline as well, but once the two methods are fused together, I believe this industry will reach new heights. It has already changed in so many ways. It is now a much more recognised way of making money. So many famous entrepreneurs are now joining an MLM company or starting their own, that the non-believers are hard pressed to find bad things to say about Network Marketing nowadays!
Oh yes, Network Marketing has changed!! Big time!
P S: Dont forget to share this post if you like it and please leave me your comments! What do YOU think is best, offline, online on a mixture of both??

Sue,
The internet has changed the face of so many businesses. Changes are being made at many different levels. It's amazing how quickly this is occurring – or should I say, at least to me! It's going to take quite a bit to keep up with everything as technology moves forward.

Hi Sue,
Totally agree with you! And as one of the top network marketers said this industry is still in the “Wild West”. The problem with not having an online presence is that your potential prospect that you've been courting offline might end up signing up with someone else online. Especially if enough time has passed in between the courtship.

Great post Sue! I find that its not only the consultants/distributors that are realizing about marketing their business online, yet also some of the companies themselves are coming around to this reality as well. Some slower than others though. And you're right, I too believe great things will happen when the two methods fuse together at some future point

Yes Sue it is a “Brave New World” out there. We are quickly approaching one of those things they call a “Paradigm” shifts. Businesses that up to speed will vanish much like some companies from my generation. Excellent post for us to learn from.
You’re right Teresa, I for one certainly use the internet as my first resource! Thanks for your comments!
You’re welcome Julie, thanks for commenting!
Hi Nelson, yes and isn’t it amazing to feel that we in some way are contributing to this paradigm shift!
Thanks Christine, yes you’re right. Some of the companies are quite slow; they need a bit of a kick!!
Hehe, I like that Janette, the Wild West! That is so true! Yes, exactly, that’s the problem. If you want to work online, you need a company that has a good online presence! Thanks for your comments Janette!
Well exactly Val! But I feel we are in at the forefront, so we will probably be able to keep up!! Fun, lol
Thanks for your comments!
Great Post Sue. Thank you for sharing great stuff.
As with everything, we have to change with the times. So many of us go to the internet now as our first resource! Keeping our business practices up to date is essential for success.

Yes, having forward vision to see how things are changing is so important in any industry! Having been in and around network marketing for 20 years now, I have seen A TON of changes, some good, some not so good. I love what I have discovered here online. Blogging really allows us to attract the perfect partners right to us. I'm still a passionate offline networker and while I have a huge part of my team that will likely never come online, I personally thing a blending of the two creates the very best outcome as there are benefits to both! Thanks Sue!
Yes – it's changed dramatically. I think the next 10 years will be defining for hundreds of millions of people.. We are shaping a whole new economy – independent of governments, banks, oil, gas, lumber, stock markets, job sectors…. and it will be pioneered by entrepreneurs!
