MLM marketers can earn commissions from the sales of people they recruit into the business.
A network is an interrelated and interconnected group. Network marketing is another name for multi-level marketing and the network referred to is usually a business network made up of a producer of goods or services and distributors who usually earn a commission for the sales of the goods and services, as well as for recruiting others. to become distributors. Network marketing tools are any type of software application, metric, or other device that promotes network marketing.
Network marketing is another name for multilevel marketing.
There are two main categories of network marketing tools. The first couple of categories distinguish between legitimate and illegal network marketing tools. The second pair of categories distinguishes those that have only legitimate uses from those that can become illegal uses. As the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) identifies some network marketing schemes and sales techniques as prohibited, it is essential to review all network marketing tools and their use to ensure violations do not occur.
An example of an illegal network marketing tool is a software program that creates a web page by copying and reloading information from other websites onto a network marketing website. This is also called web harvesting. In some cases, this simply plagiarizes information, usually without credit. In other cases, it also violates the terms of use of the originating website.
One of the main network marketing tools is email. It’s worth stopping and thinking about the system to make sure the features, which might be good enough for personal email, meet the needs of network marketing. How email addresses are obtained, how they are used, and the content of emails sent have the potential to put a network marketer on one side or the other of the law. All commercial email must comply with the terms of the CANSPAM Act (Unsolicited Pornography and Marketing Attacks Control Act of 2003).
There is nothing wrong with business email itself. Unless the header and subject information is accurate, the message is accurately identified as an advertisement, the sender’s physical mailing address is provided, and an unsubscribe message is provided with clear steps to prevent future emails, the commercial email may violate the law. This is an example of a legitimate or illegal tool depending on how it is used.
Another one of the network marketing tools, the contact management program, by itself, presents no problems. It can only be misused by filling it with information that was not obtained correctly. Other than that, it’s just a handy way to keep valuable information organized in an accessible way.
Other tools used by network marketers include the various ways to create contact on the Internet. This includes websites, forums, chat rooms, blogs, instant messaging, Twitter® and Facebook®. Also, some network marketers use phone calls and regular mail.
