Can you build a HUGE network marketing organization only using online methods and strategies like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and etc…? NO!

Why is that you ask? Well it wouldn’t be much of an article if that was the only answer. So let’s go a little further and I’ll explain why I said “NO!”

I see and hear it all over the place. “Old School Marketing Methods Don’t Work Anymore!” Waa, Waa, Waa.  Actually, I bought into these beliefs myself awhile back. It is true that nobody really wants to make a list of their Friends and Family but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. The truth is, it works and people are still making a ton of money using these methods. As a percentage of people in these businesses, more are still making larger sums of money using Old School methods vs. marketing online. Let me explain.

If you asked me last year if old school network marketing methods still worked in the industry my answer would definitely have been, NO! However, with all the information we have bombarding us today people have become more informed of scams and illegal programs. In short, everyone is a hundred times more skeptical now than anytime before. That being the case, we need to get in front of people building relationships in order to build something huge. Plus, you need to make the method so simple that ANYONE can do it.

Online marketing is a great way to build leads but, it is very difficult to build trusting relationships. Old school methods on the other hand are more about face-to-face which makes it easier to build trust & value. A person that trusts you is much more likely to join your business rather than wondering if they are falling for another online scam.

Now let us look at the way to building an organization that will take you to the TOP! Like I mentioned before, online marketing is great for building leads but not a huge organization. The reason is, most people will not take the time to do what is required to be successful online. Online marketing requires knowledge and strategies using social media e.g., Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and etc… How many people do you know that will take the time to properly implement these strategies? The answer: not that many PERIOD Now watch the video below and I’ll explain.

For most people, online marketing is intimidating, requires knowledge and is very time consuming. Where do I start? What works best? Nobody is visiting my site? & etc, etc… That being the case, most people will quit your business even quicker online vs. old school methods. In other words, online marketing methods are very difficult to duplicate. Do you really think that Aunt Martha is going to build a big online business?

Now let’s take a look at Old School Methods. I get Aunt Martha in my business and tell her all I want you to do is share this DVD or Brochure with everyone you see. I know the old “3 foot rule.” But hold on, do you think Aunt Martha or the nice man down the street can do that? You bet they can!!! This is why Old School can build you a huge business. Online methods build leads. Old School methods build organizations! In other words, “It ’s so simple even a Cave Man can do it.” Sorry about that one but it just seemed to fit.

Most people are not willing to do what it takes to be successful online. Old School methods provide simple tried and true strategies that have worked for years and will continue to grow. Just call me Dumb DVD Dave and all I do is share the DVD’s. That all I do. I share the story of my opportunity face-to-face but let the third party tools do the selling. Can anyone do that? Yes! Can anyone build a online empire? Yes! But the real question is, will they do what it takes? The answer to that my friend is emphatically No! No Way! Probably Not Going To Happen!

In conclusion, if you want to build a HUGE organization, you need to adopt both methods and more…

1. Online marketing to build a presence online, a reputation as being a leader in your niche market and to build leads. Implementing these and other strategies will help you build a decent size business online. After building your leads and signing some of these people up in your primary business, you will have to evaluate their skill sets and plug them in to a system. Some may be able to build leads and more online but most will become more successful using the Old School methods. Then in turn, they can teach their organization to do the same.

2. Old School methods will provide you with an opportunity to implement systems that have worked throughout the years. Having a system that is duplicatable for the average Joe is what makes this method so powerful. Utilizing third party tools, meetings and simple strategies that anyone can do will let your organization grow away from you. Those ladies and gentlemen are the key words, “an organization that can grow away from you.” This in my mind makes the old school methods still very valuable today.

So, do you want to build a nice size organization or something HUGE? It’s your decision.

To finalize, if you want that HUGE Network Marketing organization, then you had better figure out a way to implement both an online presence while utilizing Old School methods.
