Social Networking’s popularity has now moved into the multi-level marketing industry.  This article seeks to explain why you as a home business owner should master the realm of social network and social media to attract new sponsoring to your business.

These two areas have in fact been interlinked for years however recently have merged online.  Today there are literally dozens of networking sites that business owners can use to meet and communicate with like-minded people on a global basis.  The remarkable benefit to this feature is that network marketers are no longer solely reliant on the “3-foot rule” and pitching friends and family.  The global nature of the internet opens up a whole new marketplace for people.

There are countless studies showing the continually increasing growth of online social networking.  MySpace currently gets over 50 million views a month and nearly 100 million people worldwide are using Social Networking sites collectively.  Perhaps some of this pervasiveness is due to the free or low-cost means of networking.  All it really requires is a genuine openness to tell your story and the desire to build mutually beneficial relationships.

When I first saw this, I didn’t think twice about it. As an MLM veteran and a successful online marketer, I dove in head first to experience first-hand how social networking could enhance my contacts and primary business’ team.  My status updates, marketing trainings, and article content have often virally spread throughout networking communities, which speaks to the power of this form of media.

Social Networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, Youtube etc has become some of the largest and busiest websites online.  The future looks very promising for those network marketers who effectively leverage these sites’ ability to connect people together and grow long-lasting online businesses.

Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites have taken off in just the last few years reflecting a need and demand in society to connect and build relationships with people beyond their circle of friends in day-to-day living. The internet has opened up an entire new world of networking that could hardly have been imagined a decade ago. A side benefit to this explosion is the possibility of creating a social network of people who come together with a shared interest. Not only can you create a network of new friends and associates around the world, you can now add a business dimension to this that is truly mind boggling. By helping others to realize their dreams of financial empowerment you can earn a fortune!

Regardless of your age, background or experience online social network marketing is the cutting edge industry that very few people know about. Most small businesses-and many larger ones still rely on traditional forms of business to move their products and services. These methods do work but do not provide the growth and expansion that the added dimension of technology can bring.

Some companies allow individuals to tie into their systems of distribution to move products that use methods similar to franchising. Hybrid marketing is one such system. It combines traditional retail marketing, social networking and online marketing all rolled into one. An individual, without the risk and investment of buying a franchise can literally start a business that can spread around the world. This would not be possible if not for the advent of online social networking sites.

Take advantage of modern technology. Instead of just using Twitter, Facebook and Myspace to communicate with more people and become part of a larger community of online social networkers–change your ideas about how to make money and become an online marketing entrepreneur. As a television producer and author I grew tired of all the inside politics of the entertainment industry and decided to begin funding my own projects. The power of the internet and such social networking sites like YouTube, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter have literally changed the way I make money. They can change the way you navigate in this world of commerce too.
