Traditional network marketing or mlm can be a very lucrative and rewarding business. The key to achieving this success is attaining and mastering effective communication skills. Realistically, anyone can achieve these skills, unfortunately the majority of people don’t want to or have no desire to take the time to practice effective communication to make it work.

Now as time and technology move forward and the advent of the internet in the late nineties a whole new world of network marketing or mlm success was and is being achieved. Not only are there success stories in the traditional network marketing MLM arena, now we are finding mega success stories of individuals having internet mlm success.

There are two schools of thoughts within the home based business industry. There is what we can call the old school method, speak to friends and family; buy leads, cold calling etc. Then there is the new school which is the ability to grow a thriving organization and have Internet MLM Success.

Which is the proper way? Is there a proper way? Today’s post explores the potential growth and prosperity one can have with Internet MLM Success.

When you look at the old school system of MLM, Network Marketing or Direct Sales, (and I presume any home based business you’re in) there is one thing that really stands out. The failure rate is a whopping 95% and of the successful 5%, only 3% achieve the level of income that delivers the lifestyle of the “rich and famous” (insert Robin Leach voice over here.)

However is the story somewhat different for people conducting their mlm business through the internet? I mean there are some proven internet mlm success stories. While I do not know what the industry ratings or averages are for individuals who are conducting their business strictly through the internet, I can only presume the success ratio is not dramatically different.

Okay with that being said let’s look at what it means to gain Internet MLM Success.

What internet mlm success is not is just throwing up a company replicated website and driving traffic to it. These companies say they operate on the internet, because they have a company replicated site, however this is not going to bring you the kind of the success we are discussing.

Internet MLM Success means exactly what it says, building and developing a growing, thriving organization that is easily duplicable. The easier it is to duplicate, the greater the buy in from the people you sponsor. Why? Because once your recruits get over the technical hurdles, they can easily duplicate what you are doing. They can now duplicate you the form of blogs, article marketing, forum marketing, internet newsletters, ezine advertising.

The type of internet mlm success stories I speak of are in the form of such pioneers as Mike Dillard, Daegan Smith and Jonathan Budd. They have taken the basics of marketing, and applied it to the business model of Network Marketing. They then took it to the next level, utilizing the broad reach of the internet to tap into worldwide markets.

The form of internet mlm success they achieved came in the form of providing valuable information, tips and strategies on how to grow your home based business. They did not pitch or sell their opportunity directly to you. They give you value and content that you, as a home based business entrepreneur, can actually implement in your business immediately today.

When you compare the two methods there is one real striking similarity between them. The success common denominator if you will, was they provided information on how to improve someone’s lot in life. How to achieve a level of independence, be it financial, time, intellectual or health through methods they successfully used. No where in the material they sold, gave away or used did they constantly pitch their business opportunity.

What they did do was provide extreme value, the same as some of the great traditional network marketers.

In conclusion you can achieve Internet MLM Success, the key however is to find a mentor or trainer who has already traveled the road before you. Click on this link and have a look at his successful person…and he achieved his success in a relatively short amount of time
