How To Use Your Own Website For A Network Marketing Business

Karl Hummel

In Network Marketing, promoting or advertising your business opportunity or your products and services on the Internet, can be a real challenge. Because of the rules and restrictions that most Network Marketing Companies have implemented for their Distributors to follow, it can make it almost impossible to do.

As I discussed in my last blog post, “Why Network Marketers Can’t Have A Network Marketing Website”.

There are a lot of good reasons why your Network Marketing Company has implemented these rules. But there are ways that you should be able to legally and ethically get around this without getting into any trouble with your Network Marketing Company.

What To Promote

One thing to consider is that you don’t necessarily have to promote your business opportunity or the products and services you provide to promote your business, get leads, prospects, or even distributors on the Internet. You see most people don’t understand the importance of promoting themselves. The truth is, when people join a business opportunity they join you just as much as they join your company!

You’re the one who presents the Business Opportunity to them. You’re the one they think can help them make money with it. And you’re the one who they sign up with or don’t sign up with. It’s not just the company that they’re joining.

Sure you have to have a good company to promote with a good compensation plan and good products or services, but ultimately it is you they sign up with. They have to believe in you or the chances they will ever sign up under you are very slim.

Network Marketing Business

You are allowed to do is promote yourself on the Internet. Your Network Marketing Company isn’t trying to stop you from being successful or building a large business, they’re just trying to protect you and their company, so most won’t have any problem with you promoting your business in this manner.

If you want to promote your business opportunity and get leads on the Internet you can still do this by simply attracting people to your website who are already in, or who are interested in Network Marketing to begin with.

Online Network Marketing Guidelines

I’m not a lawyer and cannot guarantee that this won’t get you in trouble with your Network Marketing Company so be careful and check with them if you have any doubts. I’ve used these guidelines myself and have been able to promote my business while still staying in the good graces of my Network Marketing Company. That said, here are some guidelines you can follow that should allow you to do this.

• Never use their company name in your URL address.
• Never place a link on your website that connects to your affiliate website.
• Never specifically write about or promote their company by name.
• Never write anything you can’t prove relating to your business.
• Never over hype anything.

If you follow these guidelines your Network Marketing Company generally won’t care because legally it won’t affect them.

Network Marketing Online

One of the easiest ways to promote your Network Marketing Business is through the use of a blog. You do this by writing blog posts that are related to the Network Marketing Industry. You can write posts about your experiences, your strategies, your results, etc.

Using a blog in this manner allows you to stand out as a Network Marketer. By providing valuable content for your readers, you’ll be able to attract people who are interested in Network Marketing and brand yourself as a knowledgeable leader in the process.

Then you just provide your visitors with a way to contact you directly, or to request more information about your Network Marketing Opportunity. This way you can still promote your Network Marketing Business online and your Network Marketing Company won’t get upset with you!

To Your Success!
