Have you considered network marketing for building your list? Social networking is a huge part of marketing online, but people forget that it can also help them in their list building. You can join a site which has a downline for building your list, and that is a great way to network especially if the team leader is good at bringing everybody together.

But, what about outside of that downline builder, is there anything else you can do to network, and not only network but see viral marketing as part of your business model?

Stop for a moment, and think about how this could work in practice. You'll meet people online through forums and other social networking sites. You don't have to try and sell them your ideas immediately, but you build a friendship with them. You might even be able to help them in their business, if you have a skill they don't.

Once you have that friendship, ask them how they would recommend you do network marketing. Ask them how they would be able to help you run a viral marketing campaign. You are now friends with them, and they will normally be willing to share and help.
It is all about give and take.

People who are successful normally have no problem sharing their success with others. They will be more than happy to help you, but also if you have a great product, they will be looking at ways to market it themselves.

This will be a great opportunity for you to see your product going viral. Imagine for a moment, you have a top marketer whom you have become friends with looking at your product.

They like it and want to offer it to their list. You discover their list is in the tens of thousands, and you gladly give them an extra share of the income because of who they are.

You have your own opt-in on the thank you page, and people are now signing up for your list. Soon this product has gone viral, as more and more people are promoting it for you. Not only that, but your list is increasing at a rate you didn't think possible.

This has all happened because you took to heart the advantages of networking with other marketers. You saw the potential of getting to know these people, and building friendships with them. You then asked questions about how you could improve your business model, and they gave you some great advice and tips, which you then used.

You didn't realize before how these top marketers work, but you soon discovered that they are no different to the rest of the world, in that they like to build friendship and network with other marketers.

Now that you know this, you appreciate all the different ways in which you can network with people online. These friends will help you build your business as you help them build theirs.

Network marketing is a two way business, it is all give and take. Sometimes it isn't equal, but it is never one way, if you haven't started to build your business that way, then you'll need to start today.
