Sometimes network marketing and internet marketing are interchanged. Is there a difference in the two? One major connection is the home based business owner. Either choice is usually a one person business run from a home office. Change is happening everywhere across America and the world.

Usually, network marketing is connecting with your customer by phone and everyone follows a pattern of activity and training their team. The goal is to build a large downline of committed networkers willing to follow your team leadership.

Your major challenge as a Network Marketer is to teach others to do what you do. There are 2x2, 3x3 matrix systems that connect the dots, plus many other plans that various companies follow. Capsule form says everyone gets two then you're in business to teach your two recruits to teach their two recruits into a system of continuous recruiting and downline builders.

Unfortunately, it's never as easy as it sounds. Breakdown comes when someone on your team refuses to make the effort necessary to continue the recruiting flow of new members onto the team. Most people feel you're asking them to "sell" to their family, friends, church members and anyone else they are acquainted with by association, school, etc.

Much depends on how you and your team players see the BIG picture. Telling someone about the program does not have to turn into a selling situation if your program is presented correctly. Training is the key to success and the only way it will happen for you and your team.

Don't suddenly jump onto a new bandwagon trying to get you into a particular program, no matter how wonderful it appears on the surface. You have plenty of time to make a good decision about any network marketing business. Most of the networking companies are well designed but in most it seems there are far too many losers than winners. Does that sound like the lottery or something similar?

You didn't ask but I'll tell you my opinion anyway. Before I would join any program it would be imperative to meet and greet the winners, the successful leadership. It may sound great, some folks are making massive amounts of money, but it simply may not fit your personality or style of doing business in the future.

Another area of research would be Internet Marketing or affiliate marketing where many home based business owners have been very successful building a business for themselves. You may like this method of marketing best rather than team interactions. Again, it's all about YOU.

As usual, all new companies everywhere need new people [customers!] to join their program to survive. Nothing unusual here, all companies need customers and promoters. We believe the Internet Marketing business will continue to grow and support many home based business owners in the future and encourage you to do the research and due diligence.
