In the internet world, no online multi-level marketer will ever achieve high sales or sustained increasing sales without driving traffic or number of online users in the hosted web site or blog site. It is similar to conventional marketing. Those who have posted billboards in high traffic areas often capture higher sales than those in isolated areas. Those who have advertised ad campaigns in top 1 TV network often gain higher sales than in top 10 TV network. It is traffic that will most probably prelude sales.
There are various methods to garner traffic and sales. Method can either be creating a user-friendly web page or get your web page listed in the search engines or pay multi-media publishers. Those are expensive, but there too are cheaper and even free methods. Cheap methods can either be just email marketing or attaching web site links as signature in emails or joining in free social networks.
The cheap methods have not been so effective, except for social networks. Most emails, often forwarded with marketing content, instantly go to trash. Attached links often do not grab email readers to click on them.
Social networks however are gaining more popularity. It basically connects your multi-level marketing to a wide network of consumers and users. That is why more small and medium entrepreneurs are joining the social networks. What used to be personal sites for individual suddenly became a venue for business groups and community.
More trading of products and even services were done through these social networks. I myself have bought my Holga 120 GN through Multiply. Products and services from small and medium entrepreneurs or companies are easily found in social networks than search engines.
Search engines, which also list products, are expensive. And if products can be listed in search engines like Google or Yahoo, links to the web page of the products are most probably listed in 50th set of search finds.
Small and medium-produced products are easier found in social networks because there are fewer lists unlike in giant search engines. And entrepreneurs who are member in social networks does not have to generate traffic.
