Thread: Network Marketing

I started network marketing about 6 months ago, so network marketing is fairly new to me.

When I first started, I thought the internet would be a good venue for me because I would not have to talk to people. I am shy and it is sometimes difficult to talk to people; especially those who are rude.

But, I have discovered during the past 2 or 3 months that in reality, network marketing is about building relationships with people. I assumed that because we are on the internet, that dealing with people could be avoided and one could still have a successful business. Well, this is not true.

To have a successful business you still must establish relationships with people. There are many various ways in which to do this; such as, posting to forums, participating in social networking sites, submitting articles, to name a few.

So, if someone ever tells you that you can join their business and not have to deal with people; such as calling or talking to people. This is not true. In order to have a successful business, in most cases, you have to establish relationships with people.

Oh, and despite the fact that I am shy, I still talk to people everyday. The more I do talk to people the better I get at it and the more my fear starts to dissipate.

All very true! Although, some shy people find it easier to market on the internet because they usually just talk via their keyboard.

It sounds like you're learning a lot and are always looking for other ways to market your ideas. It's great to hear!

You could do wonders with some interaction in this business ....

^ Very true. It really helps to build relationships with people via the web especially if you have an online business that you want to be successful.

In the brief amount of time I have been involved in network marketing, this is what I have learned, people will only stay around when they feel that their needs are being met. Your business is really not about you, but about those you serve, which are your customers and your business associates.
