Network marketing has really helped lots of online marketing in expanding their market and improving their social relationships. This type of marketing has been part of the business world for years. It has taken a big leap due to the advancement of technology.

Today, experienced network marketers know the importance of online networking in keeping the business alive and productive. In this article, let’s take a closer look at online networking.

What is online networking?

To make it simple, establishing business relationships online is what online networking is all about. Just like with conventional network marketing methods, the goal of online networking is to win the trust of people, to encourage others to become part of the network, and to be recognized by the community.

Online networking is also about building a support system for all members of the networking business. The only difference is that all interactions with online networking are done over the web or through the internet.

Why is online networking effective?

What is the greatest and most obvious advantage of online marketing over traditional networking strategies? The answer is, you can do it regardless of where you are. Network marketing is a type of a home based business that is primarily conducted from home. By being connected to the internet, a home based entrepreneur can freely reach out to his or her prospects as well as fellow members of the network.

How can you gain more from online networking?

A lot of people are interested in venturing into a new business, particularly if the business has an obvious potential or profitability. Nevertheless, not everyone is knowledgeable or has experience in running his own business. In fact, many aspiring entrepreneurs think that they don’t have what it takes to become successful.  Read more...

I’m lazy by nature and like to do as little work as possible. Therefore, when I have the opportunity to automate tasks, I jump at it. As I started getting heavily involved in social networking, I quickly became frustrated with having to update my status at several sites, as well as trying to figure out how to introduce my blog, my articles, and my ezine to my social networking audiences.

After much trial and error, here’s how I connect and repurpose all of my social marketing strategies:

1. Set up accounts. Make sure that you have current accounts with Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, MySpace, and any other social networking platforms you regularly use.

2. Open an account at Ping.fm. The Ping.fm service automatically updates your status on all of your social networking sites, 21 of them at the current count. Depending on the number of networks you use, it will take you 10-50 minutes to connect your Ping.fm account to your various social network accounts. However, once everything is set up, you simply log into your Ping account, post your status update (no more than 140 characters), and your status is automatically updated on all of your social networking profiles. Rather than posting updates directly on Twitter or Facebook or MySpace, I instead use Ping.fm as the starting place for my daily status updates.

3. Display Twitters on other accounts. If you go to your Setting tab in your Twitter account and then down to “More Info URL”, you will see a link to “Add Twitter to Your Site.” By clicking on this link, you’ll be taken to a page where you can add your tweets in a separate box (not the Status updates area) in your MySpace and Facebook profiles, on your blogger or Typepad blogs, or get the Flash or HTML widgets to add to other sites like Squidoo lenses or to your website. Just follow the instructions connected to each application. If you use Typepad for your blog, you can also do this through the Widget gallery by finding Twitter widget in the “Publishing Tools” section.  Read more...

Network marketing or MLM is an excellent strategy to build long-term residual income. Residual income is generated by the ongoing sales to loyal customers in your network marketing organization. Therefore, the key to generating residual income is to build a large base of satisfied customers. Here are the five most important keys to achieving this goal.

1. Lead Capture Page

The purpose of capturing the name and email address of your leads is to build a relationship with these prospects. Make your lead capture page’s headline powerful. Each headline should attract your readers to want to know more and why they should subscribe to ‘earn money fast online ‘ list. Bullet point what you will offer. You may also want to give out a free report that will compel them to subscribe.

2. Auto Follow Up System

Imagine if your business comes to a point where you are generating 1,000s of leads per day! You would not be able to follow up with each one of them on your own. So what you would need is an auto responder that will automatically follow up with your prospects.

3. Find a company with a deep and wide compensation plan

For residual income, you want to be able to build a deep downline. The best compensation plan for residual income is one that gives you increasing commission on at least 5 levels. You also want to be able to build it as wide as you like to accommodate a large base of retail customers.

Let’s face it, it’s challenging to absorb the ‘know how’ and pros of social networking sites without feeling overwhelmed and getting everything in a systematic fashion.

And yes, for a strategic social marketing plan of action, a ‘social system’ is essential for your sanity.

Here are 10 pros of social networking sites with a few excellent resources attached:

1. Facebook

The granddaddy of them all. According to Alexa rankings, Facebook is the 5th most popluar site in the world today.

Facebook is the perfect place to develop relationships online and now boast with more than a 100 million users online.

Unfortunately, to many marketers have adopted their tacky ‘MySpace Mentality’ in Facebook by pasting endless links on your profile wall.

This is enough to make anyone cringe.

Lots of potential for marketing, if you are prepared to build relationships first.

Best Resource will be Mari Smith, relationship and buzz marketing specialist. You will find plenty of golden nuggets on her fan page which can be found by doing a search on Facebook.

2. Squidoo

There’s been plenty of debates whether Seth Godin’s (the king of marketing in my honest opinion) collection of half a million pages still delivers quality traffic after a not so recent Google Slap.

But, like Seth mentions, Google is famous for rewarding pages that are worth while, so if you Squidoo lens provides quality content, Squidoo has endless benefits for your web presence.

Check out Rena Klingenberg’s Squidoo Traffic Power lens for great tips and resources.

3. Hubpages

Hubpages are relatively the same as Squidoo. Instead of a lens, you build a hub. Hubs with blatant affiliate promotions will not get approved.

Only original, relevant content will cut it.  Read more...
