We as network marketers often fall into the trap of applying one single marketing strategy to build our online web presence and promote our MLM business.
No need to fix anything if it’s not broken, right?
But what happens if you exhaust your online marketing strategy and it hits the ceiling? Or, even worse, becomes obsolete?
Take the internet marketers for example who based their entire internet business model on Google Adsense in the good old days of one page sites crammed with adsense ads. What about those who sweat day and night to keep up with Google’s ever changing algorithms?
Multiple streams of income are critical and crucial to your internet and network marketing success.
And,
Multiple online marketing strategies to promote your MLM business with are equally important!
This can be easier said than done.
If you are new to internet and network marketing, it’s not your fault if you feel slightly intimidated.
If you are not sure where to start, then your best bet is to invest in a online network marketing system that works for you 24/7 with built in autoresponder emails and proven lead capture pages. That way you can hit the road running and learn online marketing on the fly.
There are many avenues to build your network marketing business online.
Here are our top 5 online marketing strategies with excellent resources to get you started right away:
1. Setup a Wordpress Blog
Your blog is your voice and your personality. Yes, thatMLMbeat has multiple contributors which ads to diversity and is all about team work. But your own blog is perfect for building relationships online when you are not present.
Setting up a free blog is easy via Wordpress or Blogger, but if you want to build an authority website, you will need to host a wordpress blog on your own domain.
Hostgator makes this easy with Fantastico, an application installed in their Control Panel.

That was a great post. There is so much rubbish out there on MLM blogs, that was great value my friend. Keep it up.
Very good and detailed info on how can someone start promoting his MLM business online. As you very well point everything starts from setting up your own MLM blog. It is still sad to see many people in network marketing opportunities still promoting the pages that the company gave to them like thousand others. Having your own blog can differentiate you from majority of members and set you on the path to start branding yourself.
@Steve.. Thanks! Will do our best.
@Chris. You’re right. Your blog is the one tool which gives you a voice online and the opportunity to share who you are. Combined with social marketing, it’s the ultimate relationship builder.
This was a great post George. There is so much information out there it is almost mind boggling. You have done your research and taken the guess work out of it for me. Thanks for all the great links and for sharing such valuable information.
