I think that the internet can be valuable when you have people you know around the USA to share your business with them if done right. But will continue to watch and keep open mind.

This show makes me feel better. I would have to say I am old school. But I do appreciate these shows which I would not know about if it were not for the internet.

Nice video. I totally agree 1000%
Use the internet to build relationships FIRST… then allow some of them to naturally attract them selves to your business, by showing them you live an attractive life.

Great video! I'm not sure if everyone understood what Randy did with his last 2 recruits off the internet but I did and that is actually pure GENIUS!

All of us have different hobbies and interest and we have people in our warm market that we associate with those hobbies. For example, I am a big fantasy sports fan. Fantasy sports is basically a game based on an actual sport (i.e. baseball, football, etc) where you draft players that play on real teams to put together your own team. You then compete against other players and score points based on how those players perform in real life.

So what I can do is use tools like Twitter and Facebook to connect with other people who are into fantasy baseball. I build a relationship with them. They now become a part of my warm market. Now that I have built a relationship with them, I can recruit them just like I would anybody else in my warm market. You can do that with pretty much ANY hobby or interest you have, whether it's golf, video games, a certain religion, building train sets, whether.

That makes a lot of sense and the benefit of that approach is you just might make new legitimate friends, which is a greater benefit, in my opinion than whether they join your business or not. Of course, if you become legitimate friends AND they join your business, all the better!

Now while what Randy talked about regarding social spamming is important, I don't think that's what the debate is between old school vs. new school. The debate is that there are some people who believe traditional strategies to build a network marketing business are inferior to internet based strategies to build a network marketing business. There are some people who believe the opposite. Then there are some people (like myself) who believe both are effective ways to build a business.

QOTD: Based on what I did last week, they would say that he does the bare minimum because that's exactly what I did last week, the bare minimum!

Eric:
Randy talked about sponsoring his last two distributors by having something in common with them. If you were to meet someone in Amsterdam, and they would would ask you, What do you for a living? You will answer I am a Professional in Network Marketing, and the person would answer: Do you work for Cisco on an IT department?
What would you say? What kind of questions would you ask him to find out if they would be interested in your business?

I remember the old days when my fax machine never stoped for all the junk faxes I received at all hours of the day or night.

Nothing new between unwanted messages on the Internet or off the net. Only a different form to deliever those messages. how about all the junk snail mail we use to receive.

Bottomline the Internet has greatly leveled the playing field for a person to succeed. Now a person can sponsor people on a global basis. Where as before tonly the heavy hiiters that could afford to travel could do this.

In this "New School" Eric, you are able to broadcast your messages globally for little cost. Your team is always in touch with you via New School MLM marketing. It's the webinars, emails, websites, social marketing, twitters etc.

Old School, MLM is virtually dead, but not quite. Still leaders want you ro make a list of family and freinds only to be rejected as before. Too many leaders have no idea about how to utilize these new tools to their and the teams advantage to "attract" and build the team as a whole. That's the real sad part about New School MLM.
