Network Marketing Online Business
Let's focus on the "business" end of
your Network Marketing online business.
"Business" means that you will be
generating income. It is not a charity. It is not a hobby.
Your goal is to make money, pure and simple. This is a money
making Network Marketing online business.
In this site we've talked a lot about
creating lots and lots of informational, highly optimized pages.
And we've talked about
focusing your passion on the internet.
We've even talked about creating
streams of income. And we have mentioned what some of them might
be, such as with a
real estate company or a
book store.
But let's push the envelope a bit now
and see what other kinds of income streams we can draw upon.
EBOOKS. Write your own, or
go to ClickBank.com and see what others have written. You usually
get a pretty good commission with ClickBank ebooks, so it's worth
checking into. You can also do both: write your own AND
feature ebooks that others have written.
ADSENSE. These are the ads that
you see along the right hand column. They are easy to set up.
Google maintains them. All you do is decide how you want the ads
to look, and place the code in the right spot. Easy peasy.
AFFILIATE MARKETING.
Another company has a product you like. You see they have an
affiliate program. That means that you can show it on your site.
Every time you make a sale, you get a commission. The money
transaction is handled by the merchant, so you don't need a shopping
cart. Check out CommissionJunction.com for a slew of affiliate
based products. You will need to sign up, but it is free to sign
up.
Those are the most popular ways of
earning money through a Network Marketing online business, but there are
lots more, like ....
CREATE A MEMBERSHIP SITE.
Do you have special knowledge in a unique field? Let members pay
to join and offer them premium knowledge, products and networking.
BRING EBAY INTO YOUR WEBSITE.
You can set up your own eBay store, featuring the types of products that
your visitors would like. A cake decorating site could sell molds
for devils on the page about devils food cakes! eBay has so much
to offer that they sky is the limit.
CREATE AND SELL YOUR OWN TRAINING
PROGRAM DVDs. Sometimes visual works better than written
material. If that is the case for you, create your own training
program. You can sell them as a download, or in hard case DVD, or
both.
CREATE YOUR OWN SHOPPING MALL.
Thousands of different kinds of products lurk in different shopping
malls, from teddy bears to samurai swords. Track down your vendors
and create your own very unique shopping experience.
JOIN A TRAVEL COMPANY. For
all travel sites and geographically oriented sites, this is a must.
And it's a nice source of income. TripAdvisor.com is an excellent
one, but they get filled up quickly. If you see an opening, take
it.
PROMOTE YOUR SERVICE BUSINESS
ONLINE. From massage parlors (the legit kind) to dentists to
attorneys, there just isn't a corner of the business world that couldn't
benefit from a good website. Have online coupons for your
customers, both from your business and from affiliated businesses.
SELL YOUR OWN PRODUCT. Do
you create jewelry? Write children's books? Design stained glass
doors? The internet is made for you. Nowhere else can you
reach such a wide audience, at such a low price. And it's not just
for "creative" folks. One of the most successful webmasters I know
sells kits for people to set up their own concrete contractor business.
Honest.
GENERATE FINDERS FEES.
Real estate finders fees may or may not be an option in your area.
But if you bring an artist a new client, that should certainly generate
a finder's fee. Look for companies in the same general area of
interest as your website and cut your own deal.
ACT AS AN AGENT FOR OTHERS.
A very successful lady books rooms in local inns in a remote island, and
earns very nice commissions doing it. Her site attracts the
guests, and she forwards the requests for rooms to her clients.
Another webmaster books trips to Australia. He doesn't actually do
the booking himself; he just forward the request to other agents, and
collects his commission.
SELL ADVERTISING ON YOUR SITE.
Unlike a newspaper, you've got all the space you want. So sell
some of it.
CREATE YOUR OWN AUCTION.
When you've got a specialized product, let others bid on it.
Setting up a whole auction site like eBay is very expensive, but you can
do "blind bidding", i.e., let people submit bids without knowing what
others are bidding. Results can be quite nice with this approach.
You want one more way to make money
with your Network Marketing online business? Okay ...
MLM. It's not always the
best option. But once you find a good company to work with, it
cannot be duplicated anywhere.
This is truly the beginning of making
money in your Network Marketing online business. I am continually
amazed at the true creativity of entrepreneurs who earn money with a
Network Marketing online business. Everything I mentioned above
has at least a dozen variations on it. And there are dozens and
dozens more ways to make money.
Let your creative instinct be your
guide.
