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.
