Article Overview: If you are in an internet marketing business, it’s critical that you understand what product you are selling. I can hear what you are saying. “Now that’s a pretty stupid statement, Scott. Just take a quick look at my website. It’s pretty obvious what product I am selling.”

A Key to Success in Your Internet Marketing Business - What Product are You Selling?

If you are in an internet network marketing business opportunity, it’s critical that you understand what product you are selling. I can hear what you are saying. “Now that’s a pretty stupid statement, Scott. Just take a quick look at my website. It’s pretty obvious what product I am selling.” More on this in a moment.

I have said before. It’s important to know your target market. Who are you trying to attract? You need to know the wants and needs of your target market.

What are their problems; what are their questions; what pain are they feeling; what do they think about; where do they go on the internet?

If you can solve the problems of your target market, answer their questions, and fulfill their wants and needs, you can attract large numbers of qualified prospects to you everyday.

But now I come back to the question I asked at the beginning of this article.



If you are in an internet network marketing business opportunity, what product are you selling?

If you don’t answer this question correctly, you will probably struggle in your business. Most network marketers will fail if they don’t get this answer right.

You’ve probably already guessed it. The answer is YOU. YOU are the product you are selling.

Why is it YOU? Prospects can go to a hotel meeting, look at a brochure, go to your website, or get on a conference call. But they are still not certain they can be successful in your business.

They are looking for someone they can trust.

They are looking for someone who can guide them each step of the way and lead them to success. They are looking for the person who can give them the answers when they get stuck.

If they like the company and its products, they could easily find another rep – someone who appears more successful or a stronger leader than you.

Trust is a very important factor in their purchase decision. If they buy from you, they are trusting that you can lead them out of the financial mess they are currently in.

If you are a brand new rep, don’t feel discouraged or anxious. With the proper internet marketing training, you can pre-sell yourself before even talking to your prospect.

If you are having trouble enrolling prospects, it’s probably because you are not pre-selling yourself.



But I have good news for you. You can learn how to pre-sell yourself.

Most network marketing companies and their leaders don’t teach this subject. They stress the importance of having the proper mindset, memorizing scripts, developing your “why,” creating a vision board, etc.

Please, don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with doing these things. In fact, it’s very important. But it leaves out the most important step in achieving success in your internet network marketing business opportunity. That is, you must sell yourself.

By providing your prospect with valuable, educational information, your prospect begins to respect you and trust your judgment. They will come to you seeking your opinion on the best internet marketing training and the best network marketing business to select.

The educational information you provide must solve their problems, answer their questions, and give them the information they are seeking. Understanding this concept is critical to your success in network marketing.

Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.

Re: Service Or Product? - I agree with starting a Service-based Business in the economy. Here is what I think is critical: 1. Researching that your Service business has a market. 2. Marketing the Service with as much leverage as possible. 3. Product-izing the Service (aka Package Expert Knowledge). This will only help elevate you as "the" expert in your niche and make you accessible to people in different price points.
Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
