Internet and Network Marketing – Different In Concept But Now A Powerful Team

We live in a great time for starting a new business, making a very good living, all due to the presence of the Internet.Now this may seem like a very simple concept, and under most circumstances, I would agree. Of course, the internet has made a great change in the way business is pursued. However, there is an emerging trend that few people have heard of or thought about and that is the connection and synergistic merging of internet and network marketing.

For those of you that may not understand the difference between internet and network marketing let me explain.

Internet marketing, as I see it, is defined as the selling and distribution of products using techniques available only on the internet. These products typically have been digital in nature or relating to niche markets but using digital type products. These techniques have always included such items as email, forums, article marketing, affiliate distribution etc. When first started, these tools were welcomed by the targeted markets and business was good. Currently, to start a new business in the world of internet marketing you need to not only be very knowledgeable but real quite lucky as well. It’s a tough business.

Network marketing has been here for a long time. It gained most of its fame, I guess, with companies like Amway and Mark Kaye. These companies were and still are exceptionally successful but required, for the most part, that the individual marketers used personal contact, one on one, to meet their potential partners. Certainly, they could use more conventional offline techniques such as direct mail, TV, newspaper and magazine ads etc. but this was very costly. Historically, network marketing got a bad reputation because a few made a lot, and the many made very little. Most network marketing companies skewed the compensation to the top marketers so that even with hard work, financial rewards were minimal.

Well, today this has all changed. There is a merging of the two concepts into what I would like to call “Network Online Marketing”.

New companies are coming to the marketplace that realize that the incredible power gained by combining the two ideas and providing new marketers with an inexpensive yet very powerful way of expanding their businesses. Cost of entry can be very low. Marketing can now be accomplished to a large, yet targeted, market relatively easy but very effective. And most of all, these very same companies have realized that to be and stay on top, they need to spread the wealth. Compensation plans of the past have changed to make sure that those at the bottom have the same opportunity to grow as those at the top.

Conclusion: We live in an incredible age. Certainly the economy is unsure, to say the least, but with this turbulence comes great opportunity. These are the times that true entrepreneurs cherish. If you are looking for a new start, an additional income or a totally new business, this is a great time to be alive.
