Why Networking is Your Biggest Advantage
© 2003 Nava Bromberger
There's a reason why they call it "network" marketing --
it's because it's all about networking! So, what is the
secret to success? YOU are the secret to success! You can
significantly increase your traffic and sales by showing
others that you have something to offer. Rather than
pitching another offer, why not show your expertise and have
people seek you out instead? This is the best way to
generate leads because when people seek you out they're pre-
qualified.
Whether you're concentrating on MLM or affiliate programs it
all comes down to relationships. Gaining trust and
developing relationships with people in your target market
will lead to a nice sized *responsive* mailing list. If
they're already interested in you even before they become a
subscriber, you're that much ahead. Just keep providing
quality content and you'll have loyal subscribers who
respond to your recommendations.
How does one go about networking, you ask? It means getting
out there and meeting people, developing relationships,
exchanging ideas, and in general just working with other
people -- ideally successful people.
The benefits are many but ultimately the biggest benefit is
that it's pure marketing at it's best. Networking opens a
world of marketing opportunities that would be difficult
otherwise. For instance,
* Your name becomes recognizable to your target market
* You brand yourself as an expert in your field
* Opportunities for joint ventures arise out of nowhere
* Ezine publishers will want to swap ads with you
* Reciprocal links are easier to trade
5 More Ways to Network in Your Target Market:
1.) The easiest way to network is to write short articles
for ezines and include your resource box with contact
information. You name will soon become know to others
working in the same field not to mention your target market.
2.) Attend multi-day seminars and workshops and meet
everyone you can. This is a great opportunity to meet other
people in person. You may even form a joint venture at the
time. But even if you don't, people will be much more open
to a joint venture later if you've already met.
3.) Attend teleseminars and ask questions. Introduce
yourself before asking a question. The type of questions you
ask will reveal alot about you and what level you're at. I'm
not saying to ask questions just to impress others on the
call. Be genuine and ask what you really want to know.
Others on the call likely have the same question and will
remember you if you were the one who asked it.
4.) Get to know other ezine publishers. If something you
read in an ezine that strikes you as creative or valuable in
some way why not send a personal note to the editor and tell
them so? Ezine publishers love to hear from their readers so
this is a no-brainer. And, it opens the door to joint
ventures down the road. But, you do need to open that door
first!
5.) Visit forums where your target market hangs out and
answer their questions. Before submitting a reply to a post
make sure to register for the forum and setup a signature in
your profile that says who you are and a link to your site.
Then look for questions to answer or interesting
conversations you can contribute to. Your responses will not
only show people that you have something to offer but
increase exposure to your site.
Jim Rohn says that you are the average of the 5 people you
hang around with. Getting out there and networking with
others that are creative and successful will definitely
increase your average.
