An Alternative To High
MLM Internet Business Costs?

Yes, low cost and reliable

Any MLM Internet business' free, slick and eye-catching lead capture page boldly ignores the reason for the Web's existence and how it ticks. And that will likely come at a high cost to you. What's the alternative?

Is the above statement a bold one? I don't think so. Let's start explaining this right away. This page lets you know:

• The reason why the Web is there and how it ticks.
• Why the easy way often comes at a high cost to you and
• The alternative and the right things to do.

Why the Web is there and how it ticks

Selling is not the reason for the Web's existence. Primarily, the Web was built to share resources which provide information to people who need that information. It's not there to sell anything.

How the Web ticks

What's the Web nowadays? It's a huge collection of information, ranging from brilliant to nonsense to total and utter crap, depending on the interests of the one who seeks the information. Sadly, that collection also contains duplicate and less valuable information.

So, why does the Web tick how it ticks? One of the most useful things ever developed are the search engines. We all depend on them when searching for good, high quality and relevant information. And so does any mlm Internet business.

Web directories such as the Open Directory Project (DMOZ) are important, too. Some of them have humans looking up and reading the content of newly submitted web sites, making sure the content is valuable and of high quality.

And yes, it's the search engines and Web directories sending you most of the visitor traffic to your web site. The sad reality is that most mlm Internet business web sites simply ignore this fact. Over 95% of all web site owners do. Can you believe that most ignore the reality?

That blissful ignorance often causes these...

As good as such a lead capture page may look, you need to send traffic to it or else nothing happens at all. See more downsides of lead capture pages. Worse still...

Ask the following questions and see the answers the majority replies:

• Do you want the benefit of getting free and targeted traffic to your web page? "YES" you hear them answer.
• Do you want to do the time consuming work that's causing this traffic to hit your mlm Internet business web site? And the the staggering majority of people simply replies "NO, not really"

Now ask yourself:

Over 80% of network marketers are part-timers. I'm not saying that paid traffic doesn't work. It's just too expensive to pay for less targeted traffic which just leaves your web page without being monetized at all. A total waste of time and money, which most part-timers can not afford because their time to recoup the money is equally limited.

The Reliable Low Cost Alternative And The Right Things To Do

Basically, you have the choice between quick and long-term success with your mlm Internet business. And when you think of it:

You can spend valuable time of your life building a real and profitable turnkey web site for your Internet based network marketing business that...

• has a content based web site at its core and thus...
• receives almost all of its free traffic from "Mr. Search Engine & Co"
• helps to build the right amount of trust your visitors need so you can...
• monetize all the traffic in various ways.

OR...You can spend just as much time and money to...

Build a weak mlm Internet business based on advertising lead capture pages. That's pages you don't really own and can't control. Pages which the Search Engines are just happy to ignore. The choice, my friend, is yours.

Not all the leads will join you and most sponsored people will leave again. The cost per lead is frighteningly high and eats any eventual gains you made from selling products. They will also eat away from your family budget and dry out your wallet.

Do you see the kind of game so many people are in? Sad reality - and I was no exception to tell you the truth. Your mlm Internet business stops the minute you stop paying for traffic. That's the downside of paying for that always high in demand traffic.

Putting the effect before its cause - like wanting to get the traffic before or without creating the circumstances that generate the traffic - is a behavior that disallows us to do the right things for the right reasons. Ignorance is a source of failure. Is it any wonder that well over 90% of small Internet businesses fail after 3 to 5 years by ignoring why the Web exists?

If you know why the Web exists, you know how to use it properly (see this chess game example for the consequence of confusing 'why' with 'how'). But our benefit driven nature always makes us wanting to get the benefits as fast as possible. And as for our mlm Internet business, we completely ignore whether we do the right thing for the right reason.

And that's just one of the reasons which keeps way too many network marketers and their mlm Internet business from succeeding. I described this in more detail in the sections starting with "Network Marketing Businesses and Why MLM Works".

What are the right things to do when you use the Web?

Doing the right things for the right reasons for your mlm Internet business would actually mean to ...

Accept the reason for the Web's existence and how it ticks.

This would normally entail that you:

• ...find a topic and information which people seek and which you know a fair bit about to comfortably write valuable content about.
  
  

  To know how to do that best - see the brainstorming section of proper website content development.

• ... use an affordable way to create a content based web site.

How you can start or improve your own mlm Internet business

I described an approach based on facts which bypass the misconceptions about the Internet and network marketing. Beginning at the section about network marketing web sites, it also touches the topic of proper website content development.

This approach allows for these benefits - though not immediately and not without work.
