"A little 'twist' that will come in
handy if you promote your
MLM business online"

How you plan to utilize the Internet and have it fit into your overall  sponsoring strategy will mean the difference between it working for you and having it chew you up and spit you out. 

Lasting residual income in Network Marketing - contrary to all the hype out there - is built on the personal relationship and trust between two individuals.

If you think you can build an MLM empire strictly online that will produce money for life, without building any relationship or never plan to have any contact with your downline... it's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

Now that doesn't mean that the Internet can't be used as a tool to help you. But you'll need to be able to overcome some inherent problems with  online MLM.

First, there are simply too many people trying to sell their MLM programs on the net (I'm  told it's the second biggest item on the Internet today)...  so the market is getting saturated. Which causes a lot of eager, inexperienced people to promote their MLM on the net the wrong way and angering a lot of Internet users...  giving MLM a bad name.

The next big consideration with online MLM'ing is that you lose the personal relationship. 

It is very difficult to build trust and create a bonding, long-term profitable relationship online. Nothing will ever take the place of the relationship aspect of Network Marketing (just ask some of the people who have been in AMWAY for 20+ years without making a dime - studies show they stay because of the people and the friendships they have created).

No matter what tools you have (or don't have), the power of Network Marketing will always be in your personal relationships.

You may get a prospect to join your opportunity even if you don't have (or haven't yet built) personal relationship with them...  but try to get them to stay loyal and actually go to work.

The chances are about 999 out of 1,000 that they will be dead-wood, doing NOTHING whatsoever!

And, be sure that they will quickly jump ship from your network into the next  greatest MLM hype deal that comes along promising something  for nothing.

So, should we give up on promoting our MLM on the Internet?

No... but you have got to use it the right way. Your online efforts should be the first step in creating a bonding relationship...  and realize that it's just the first step.

Think of the Internet - NOT as a sponsoring method - but  as a way to introduce you to people that you can add to your circle of influence.

Derek Gehl (the owner of The Internet Marketing Center and a savvy Internet marketing genius) shared with me an excellent way (which I "tweaked" up with a little posture-power) you can use Opt-in, targeted email lists to do this...

Notice that MLM or network marketing is not mentioned at all in this teaser email. And  if you follow-up with a detailed letter, make sure you don't  mention MLM until a quarter or half way through it... after they've had a chance to see the benefits and potential of your product or service and profit potential.

Another key to this teaser email is that it makes the reader think that  they might not be qualified to join this elite team.

If you want to learn how to utilize the Internet to its fullest potential, then Derek Gehl is your man! I have personally come to respect him as he has many very successful online businesses.

In fact, one of his most popular successes is the book "Car Secrets Revealed"... with his unique promotional techniques online, he has made it the #1 best selling car book on the  Internet... all within a few months! He specializes in very unique and powerful Internet marketing ideas and techniques.

Derek is one of a small handful of people who has actually made a KILLING online and he has just developed a new website that REVEALS all his tips, tricks and techniques for starting a business on the Internet that will make you a fortune.

Do NOT even consider trying to promote your MLM business (or any other business for that matter) online without first exploring every inch of his website!

His website is:
