But don't try to force offline methods, online. There's no need to push (i.e., chase cold calls/prospects). Instead you can motivate them to pull (i.e., they call you) Remember, Network Marketing has a bad image that you must overcome.

Action Steps:

1. Pick your company carefully and seriously. (Note: Network Marketing is not "pyramids," which are strictly illegal. Network Marketing is a viable business model that generates significant income for millions of people worldwide. However, it tends to attract more than its share of get-rich-quick artists.)

2. Build a content-rich Web site related to theme of the product you want to market. As you build more and more content-rich and SE-optimized Web pages related to your theme, more and more interested, targeted traffic will come directly to your site through SE search results pages.

3. Convert the cold, digital contact of a Web site to a warmer one through e-mail or even better, phone.

4. Slowly and gently, use your company's training to introduce your visitors to the products (and/or the opportunity, depending on your goals), as they come to trust and know you.
