Network Marketing Web Site
Your network marketing web site is
essential.
If you want to succeed in an online network marketing business you
will need to have your own unique network marketing website, not a clone
of the network marketing company you are joining.
"Why?" you ask.
(1) Because You Need
to Own Your Own Business
Why work like the dickens just to give
someone else traffic? That is exactly what you are doing when you
merely link to a site that the affiliate company has given you.
It's not YOUR business; it is THEIRS.
They control what the site looks like.
They control what products are listed.
They even control whether or not you
have a site. That's scary.
(2) Because You Need
a Site That Search Engines Can Find
If you put up a site exactly like every
other affiliates' sites, it is called "duplicate content" and search
engines won't list your site. The ONLY way to get people to your
site is to advertise. You will pay for advertising to get each and
every person who comes to your site, for years and years and years.
That's a lot of payments.
When you build your own site, you use
targeted keywords to bring people to your site. It is free
traffic. They are looking for the information that you have.
You found this site because I put up
information that you are looking for. (Welcome! It's nice to
have you stop by.)
| I don't pay
a dime for advertising because I don't have to. I have
hundreds of people visit this site every single day. How
would you like to be in my position? |
(3) Because You Need
to Build Several Streams of Income
Relying on a single product or range of products can make it
hard to earn a full time income from network marketing. To maximize your
network marketing efforts you must have multiple
streams of income that could include affiliate marketing, ebook
marketing, eBay marketing and Adsense Ads, and lots more.
"Streams of income? I can't
even get one stream of income to work!"
I know. I couldn't either.
When you only have one roll of the dice, odds are against you.
Give yourself better odds than than. For example ...
Suppose you wanted to affiliate with a
company that has exceptional vitamins. Well, the sky is the limit.
You could ...
- Sell those vitamins, of course
- Encourage others to sell those
vitamins
- Go to ClickBank and find an
excellent ebook or two to promote -or- write your own ebook to sell.
- Sell books from Amazon.com
- Include AdSense ads on your site.
- Have an eBay store for
vitamin-related products, like those little pill holders.
- Include Pay Per Play ads on your
site;
- Locate other products for good
health, such as a pedometer for walking;
- ... and you might even find a second
vitamin company that sells a different set of vitamins.
Now you've got 9 Streams of Income!!
And none of them compete with each other. They are all
complimentary. One month you may make money from some of the
streams, the next month may be different. Having this many streams
of income means you have many rolls of the dice, and lots of chances to
make money.
A clone website will not
allow you to do this. This is why it is so important that you
have your own network marketing website that only you control. You can
add as many streams of income as you like and build your business
according to your own business plan.
Then imagine what
your network marketing website would look like.
It would not be a store front.
It would provide scads of great information about vitamins -- 40 ... 50
... 100 pages or more. All about vitamins. Anyone who visits
your site will immediately recognize you as an expert, and will be ready
to take your recommendation on which vitamins to buy.
It doesn't get any better than that.
It's Really, Really
Hard to Set Up a Network Marketing Website, Isn't It?
There are a number of elements that go
into creating a strong Network Marketing website, such as:
- Ability to draw traffic;
- Ability to write strong web pages
with great information;
- Having a way to entice visitors to
become part of your community and get your ezine;
- Encouraging visitors to participate
in your website, to make it their own;
- Keeping in touch with an newsletter;
- Keeping updated with a blog;
Note: I did NOT say "knowing HTML
coding". In fact, knowing HTML coding is definitely not required
to create a strong website.
Also, you won't usually need to even
set up a storefront on your website. That is when you link to your
host company's website, and they provide the shopping cart, check out,
shipping, etc.
I use
Site Build It technology for this
website. SBI is not the first web host that I have used, but it
will be the last. I cannot even begin here to tell you about
everything that SBI does to make this website a success, but they do a
lot. My other primary website has been in the Top 1% of all
websites for nearly three years, and gets thousands of visitors every
single day. And, No! I don't pay a dime in advertising for that
one either.
