Everywhere you go on the internet you get things for free Skype, Google, YouTube and Facebook are amongst those who give away things for free. But you have a Network Marketing Business that has expensive products. You can't give away anything for free can you? That will take too much from your pocket, right?
You can give something away for free. You do have something.
What, I hear you ask?
Yes, knowledge. You have knowledge that others don't have. You have knowledge about your products, knowledge about your business and the training you get from your Network Marketing Company and sponsor is knowledge too.
And factor in the fact that you need to train your downline - what better way to train them than to put all the knowledge you have learned in an article, report or e-book? That is a free product that you can give away right there that cost you a lot of time and money.
Why does free work?
Simply because when you provide something valuable for free, you usually get back. That is just one of the laws of the universe. You get what you give.
But if you provide stuff for free, where will the money come from?
Money comes from valuable content that you provide because if people are continuing to receive what you give away for free, they will want to reciprocate at some stage. This happens on a subconscious level, and because we are programmed that way.
However, you can't just give anything away for free. You need to decide what you want to accomplish. You need to decide what you want to receive in return. So, what you may want is a large list of over 5,000 people who buy something from you every time you send an email or who sign up for your opportunity after hearing from you a couple of times.
Perhaps taking the time to provide free content, and the fact that you have to spend a lot of time on it has you wondering whether you should be blogging, podcasting, networking online or spend time in building up your virtual world? Maybe you think that it will take too much time and effort and will give nothing in return?
You have to remember that this gives you a chance to be able to market globally, and do so for free. (In this case free means you don't have to pay money, but you do pay in time and effort.) This is a great opportunity for building and growing your business. You just need to set goals, make yourself a plan and stick to it, and above all, never give up!
If you give away free content, samples or trials, it will bring you traffic to your website and make your phone ring. The majority of your free users will not buy anything, but you don't need everyone to buy. If you build up a list of say 5,000 people and just 2% sign up in your business, would you see that as a good thing? This is a good reason for striving to have a sizable list.
And remember: If you give away something good for free, people usually tell others about it. If something makes them feel good or happy, they like to share it. So giving something good away for free will make your business grow: There is no denying it.
