Internet Network Marketing is taking the MLM's into the 21st. Century and that is a great thing. But Internet Network Marketing is the FIRST Industry I know of, to throw a proven Marketing System out the window, without ever establishing its position as the only Network Marketing Prospecting tool that works.
I've heard it said if you want to draw a crowd
Set Yourself on FIRE
Well the Internet Network Marketing Industry has accomplished setting themselves on fire
NOW WHAT?
Remember the old saying,
You don't bite the hand that feeds you?
There are some Internet Marketers, that have chewed the MLM's Arm Right OFF and these same Marketer have sold Thousands of Dollars worth of "their e-books" Promoting Instant Internet Riches.
Something is terribly wrong when half of the Network Marketers on the Internet are selling e-books slamming the very Industry they are Supposed To Be IN. ???
And people that are trying to figure out how to market their MLM's on the Internet are being Bombarded by this message. It may not be an accurate assessment for Network Marketing Prospecting online, but when you hear it enough it will have you doubting every---thing you have been taught, and there is a ton of it on the Net right now.
I don't believe Internet Prospecting will ever completely replace the "Personal Relationship Building" aspect of the Network Marketing Industry. Internet Network Marketing Prospecting is just another TOOL you can add to your arsenal.
I had the pleasure to spend some time with Craig Johanson Chief Marketing Officer of Qivana. The Corporations concern with Internet Network Marketing is the Lack of Quality Duplication and Retention of the Internet Marketers.
The Network Marketing Companies look at Internet Marketing as a Diamond in the rough at this point. The Corporations have kept the Internet Network Marketers at a Comfortable Arms Length, and I really don't blame them when You consider all of the rhetoric that's Online.
Team Building (Network Marketing Prospecting) is not the End Game of the Network Marketing Business Model. The Goal of Network Marketing is to Build a stable Network of Business Minded People that has the Drive and Determination to build a Home Business that will produce a Residual Income and their Dreams.
Internet Network Marketers face huge turnovers in their organizations because they are selling a Business in a BOX. And when the New Business Partner needs HELP they are Refereed to the BOX.
Your New Business Partner's will be counting on you to teach them what to do next, and that translates "HOW DO I Build MY BUSINESS?" If the Sponsor got all of his information from the BOX he is just as clue less as his new business partner.
If you are really good at Internet Network Marketing Prospecting, but have no idea how to build a Network Marketing Business that Duplicates its self, you can bet your last dollar it's going to duplicate in your organization.
Internet Network Marketers have created a whole new Problem for themselves, they have learned to Prospect on the Internet, but they are lacking in Duplication and Retention within their Organizations.
There is no Silver Bullet that will solve all of the problems you will face once you have a Prospect that transitions into a Business Partner. Remember the Network Marketing Business Model is a hands on learning environment that teaches Sound Business Practices through mentoring.
Your Internet Network Marketing Business Partners, needs to be trained just like the Relationship Marketer's Business Partners and this will not happen with just a duplicated website from your Corporate MLM alone.
Don't get me wrong the Corporations spend an exorbitant amount of money to produce these sites and they are worth a ton of gold, if you use them for what they are (a quick over view of the company).
I would rather have 10 Business Partners that are willing to duplicate what I teach them, than 100 who believe they can get Rich Overnight. If you market Instant Riches your Organization will be filled with people expecting to strike it rich the moment they sign up.
You will "Lose Your Creditability and Your New Business Partner" the moment you don't produce, then You and the Company You Represent is looked at as SCAM ARTIST.
Internet Marketers are Selling;
Instant Riches
No Work or Sales Required
GO FIGURE ???
Take a look at

Now I don't want to rain on the New Internet Network Marketers parade but if you are going to have True Sustainable MLM Growth on the internet you had better buckle in for a long ride.

Do I Believe in Internet Network Marketing?

This entire site is based on Internet Network Marketing, and all of our material is FREE @ 21st. Century Network Marketing, and you're not required to join Our MLM to use this site.
Now lets take a look at what the Internet really is, the Internet is the largest single market place the world has ever known. It is a great place to do business and you never know where the next phone call will come from. As Network Marketers we are no longer limited by distance or even Countries.
As I watched the Internet mature I was convinced that it would become the freight train of all markets, and as I look back I suppose my insight was only lacking in the enormity of what Internet Marketing has become.
So all of that said, I've put a lot of stock into the fact that the Internet Marketplace is still growing World Wide.
Even in this Economy some Network Marketing Businesses are exploding with 300% and up to 600% Growth Rates, I know this because Jeri and I are Involved with two MLM's that are posting these numbers.
Internet Marketing is not the Lazy Mans way to riches, when you look at the time you invest developing your e-commerce website, your landing pages, splash pages, linking strategy's, getting listed in Google not to mention the hundred's of other directories, and this work is only your beginning, nothing comes FREE, especially on the Internet.
The way Network Marketing is done, IS Changing and that is just the cold hard truth. Relationship Marketing is alive and well, but we need better training for our Internet Network Marketers so they can realize the full potential of their business.
The way's to market on the Internet is constantly changing, 1 1/2 year's ago no one had heard of Twitter and Marketers have now learned how to make money using Twitter. The Internet is so fluid, Internet Marketers must keep scrambling just to keep up.
Your #1 concern in Building Your Internet Network Marketing Business
should be the sustain-ability of Your Organization,
