How to Start a Network Marketing Business Online?
Are you not seeing the results that you were expecting in your network marketing business?
Sick of pushing your opportunity onto family and friends?
Don’t like doing home meetings?
Sick of the negative stigma associated with MLM’s?
I am sure that you got into network marketing for all the right reasons.
Maybe you fell in love with the product and wanted to share its benefits with the rest of the world!
Maybe the promises of a 7-figure salary were too much to pass up.
But the money just isn’t rolling in as you expected.
Am I right?
The fact is that the old ways of a hotel or home meetings, and even countless phone calls or cold calling have gone the way of the Dodo!
Today, with the growth of the Internet, you can completely run your network marketing business from the comfort of home by using your computer…
And you can do it in a way that will grow your own personal brand, and have your customers and clients come to you.
No phone calls.
No pestering friends or family.
No bunch of strangers in you lounge room that were never going to join in the first place.
Doesn’t that sound like a better way to run your business?
If it does, then let me show you how you can start your network marketing business online, and you can do this by creating a simple network marketing bridge funnel.
What’s a bridge funnel?
To get people to join your network marketing opportunity, the best way is to attract people that are already interested in what you have to offer.
The best way to do this is to get people to opt-in to your email list, so you can follow up with them automatically with helpful content that will persuade them to join your company.
To do this, all you need is a simple two-step funnel.
A funnel is simply a series of web pages that leads your prospect on a journey to where you want to take them.
The first step in your funnel is to send people to a simple landing page that speaks to their biggest desire and pain point and requires them to opt-in so you can solve it for them.
Below is an example landing page.
An example you could use could be: “How to attract more people into your downline (desire) Without hassling friends or family (pain) This works even if you HATE cold-calling!
Immediately, anyone with these desires or pain-points will give you their email address and opt-in to find out how you can help them.
Once they have given you their email address, then they will be taken to your bridge page.
The bridge page’s sole purpose is to direct traffic to another website, in this case, it will be to your sales page, or where you get people to sign up to your network.
On your bridge page, you will create a short video that pre-frames or pre-sells your prospect into your opportunity.
The best way to do this is to follow the who, what, why, how script.
The Who, What, Why, How Script
The who, what, why, how script, is a very simple script you can follow to create a short sales video that just works.
Even if you have no video experience, you can easily whip one of these up in no time at all.
Ready to see how this works?
Let’s go!
- The Who – Start out by saying who you are: “Hey, I’m John Newman from my Road to Financial Freedom, and I’ve been helping people just like you to grow their network marketing company online”
- The What – Then explain what you have: You can now introduce your business opportunity and its benefits.
- The Why – Now you explain why joining your company is important to THEM: Explain how teaming up with you will benefit them.
Here you can also explain the promise on your landing page, how they can build a business purely online and that they don’t have to pitch to family and friends or make countless cold calls etc.
- The How – Next you give a call to action and tell them exactly how to join: “Click the button below now”
Can you see how easy this is?
Just by following this simple script and doing a bit of work on the front end, you can easily attract people to join you that are already interested in what you have to offer.
In these days of social media and the internet, finding people that want to join you is not that hard.
Facebook, in particular, is full of people looking for business opportunities to join.
All you have to do is place your offer in front of them.
A gift for you
Now you may be thinking that this sounds great, but I don’t know how to build a bridge funnel?
Well, I have a special gift for you.
What if I actually gave you the actual bridge funnel that I just showed you?
You can even give this same funnel away as a bonus to your prospects for signing up to your company.
Do you think that this would help to recruit more people and help them to be successful?
I would even go a step further and create a Facebook group for your team, and send them additional training by email.
All of this adds to your own personal brand.
Don’t just build a network marketing company, build your OWN empire!
Can you now see how having a funnel can help you start and build your network marketing business online?

Dear John Newman,
Your website is great with lot of valuable information and also clear & easy to understand. I got new insights on networking and got some ideas. Really helpful. Keep up the good work. I do read your blog often its awesome with tons of information.
Thanks,
Paul
Thanks Paul, glad you liked my post and found it helpful!
Stop by anytime 🙂
John,
I got hassled several times by family and friends, in person, to try and get me into various MLMs. I hate that!
I find your online approach about network marketing quite interesting. Using a Bridge Funnel seems way better to build a network that can expand much quicker and greater than the traditional “meeting in person” way.
Great post.
Carole
Speaking of being hassled, one thing I am also not a fan of, is being spammed by message or on your posts on social media to join their “opportunities”.
That’s just not the way to build a business online or off!
The great thing about using a bridge funnel, is that you attract people that are already interested in what you offer, so half the work is already done.
Thanks for commenting Carole 🙂
Where were you with this 11 years ago, John? That’s when I started my network marketing business. After a year I decided that the old school offline way wasn’t for me and I went online. I’ve been figuring it out ever since, and it does work.
To be completely fair, the offline methods do still work for people with those skills. I know many people who have made a lot of money with those methods. It’s just not for me when I can reach so many more people so much more easily online.
Thanks for sharing the info.
11 years ago, Mmmm… I hadn’t even started on this road at that stage of my life!
It just goes to show what can happen and change in ten years or so Ben 😉
Yeah, I do know of people that have created financial freedom for themselves using the old school methods, I just believe that doing it online, opens up the opportunities for far more people and increases the likelihood of having success, and I am sure you have found this to be true for yourself!
Thanks for commenting Ben, glad you liked the post! 🙂
I actually learned a lot from this post. Thank you very much for posting! The breakdown was very easy to understand.
Glad you liked it Eric and found it helpful!
Cheers 🙂
I must say this grabbed my attention immediately after browsing through as I am very interested in trying to have a successful business online.
I really like how you broke it down into a few simple steps, makes it much easier to simplify it and comprehend it alot better,
Thanks- Gabe
Glad that you liked it Gabe!
Best of luck building your online business 🙂
Hi John,
Thanks for sharing this interesting way of starting your own business from home. I have heard of bridge funnels but could never find out what it was or what it was for. And also, your description of The Who, What, Why, How Script method, excellent. I have followed you on Twitter.
Best wishes,
John ツ
Thanks for your comment John, glad you liked the article.
I am glad you liked the script, it is a very easy to follow script to create a quick sales video that works 🙂
I previously sold health insurance virtually and I tried network marketing and both were a total nightmare. Cold calling was a horrible experience and I couldn’t bring myself to bother friends and family. The last thing I wanted was people to see me or see me calling and try to avoid me so they won’t get hassled. I recently started a digital marketing company so I see ClickFunnels being a great tool for me to use for my business and for my clients especially if they are involved with network marketing. I like how you broke down the simple steps to launching a great lead capture or even sales campaigns.
Thanks for the valuable info!
Anton
Thanks for your feedback Anton, I think a lot of people really struggle with network marketing because they are doing it old school.
It is the digital age now and growing any sort of business will work better when you do it online and using a tool like Clickfunnels really helps!
Thanks again 🙂
