Online is easier. Traffic exchanges and forums are a dime a dozen. But I also use old fashoned flyers.

I would like my downline to market both online and offline.

One of my top downline mebers uses direct mail. But she joined from a online member so the line really does blur.

I have been doing offline business for some time now. I like the one on one with people. We can see who we are talking to and weed out the on lookers. When I hand out my business card or give a brochure to a prospective, I can talk to them directly and get a feel of where they are coming from. They can see my passion and truthfulness in my words. They can see my concern about their health concerns. I can pick who I need on a team to work. I can present my program and they can decide whether or later to join.
I must admit, I am new at online marketing. I don't get a chance to interview a prospective. If they join I don't see them or able to weed out a trouble maker before there is a problem. The best part of online is I am reaching a far larger audience than I ever could in my little circle of traveling. While I am talking to one person, I could be reaching up to 100's being online.
So you basically have to do a little of both. When you are not out talking to people and getting your name established in the community, you are also branding yourself online to a larger audience. You do have to diversify.

Network marketing is a profession, an industry all on its own.

To that end, you can't shut the computer off and say you are not a network marketer when you go to the grocery store. It's like being a lawyer or a doctor, you either are or you're not.

Many, many millions of dollars are being made offline and should never be discredited.

So why not relax into it and be a network marketer on and off line. Both work and together it's dynamite.

Onwards,
Joyce

In my opinion.. Online and Offline are both working.. you just need to do it right..Most of the 7-8 figure earners build their business offline.. The internet is just a tool to expand our warm market .. And you can do that by giving a lot of value to other networkers and helping them solve their problems.. Having some experience offline is very important..because how can help other networkers that are struggling in their business if you don`t have any experience in network marketing? There is no battle between offline and online because both are working.

@ Joyce Penner
I agree with you buddy

I am working on both online and offline, though I am in the beginning stages of both. I love that both have their own unique benefits and strengths. There are different types of trainings, different ways to learn both online and offline. As I apply both I find more success in each area. I am definitely curious to see where both will take me and which one I will find more success with.

Network Marketing is the business model where relationships rule.

It is the only business system that encourages you to creatively "do it the best way for you" and succeed.

I use the offline methods to strenghten my local market, and use the online methods to strenghten my international market.

Have fun.

Some of the highest quality leads you can find will come from the offline world. The offline business owners will see the benefits of the online lead generation power immediately. The biggest task is getting enough quality people to talk to every day whether it is offline or online.

With online marketing, it is leveraged by your marketing efforts and is limitless, offline it is usually leveraged by your own efforts, for me that was a huge difference.

What the online automation process allows you to do has no offline equivalent, being able to create a video that "talks" to people 24/7 creates leverage that cannot be duplicated in number offline. For example even if you filled the London O2 stadium and did a presentation from the stage you would still not match the leverage power of the internet.

Having said that, the offline business owner usually has no clue about internet marketing or the network marketing business model and time after time it produces some of the best leaders you are likely to find for your team.

Create a marketing plan that suits your time and budget and then test and measure which is the most effective for you and just do more of that.

Good topic!
