What can happen when the greatest networkers in the network marketing industry get together? What network marketer wouldn’t want to be a fly on the wall, and listen in as they swap secrets for MLM success?

With the social media craze showing no signs of slowing down and the amazing span of the Internet, more and more of the top "gurus" are sharing their knowledge, experience, and tips. The top earners in the industry are not only using the power of the Internet for recruiting, but also for training others, developing marketing systems, and creating "communities" of network marketers.

Social media sites are making this sharing of information and virtual training easier than ever. With social networking sites like FaceBook, MySpace, and Twitter literally putting hundreds of thousands of people at your fingertips, it is possible to quickly build a massive community of like-minded, success-driven, and creative individuals. Rather than just directly competing with each other, MLM distributors are using the Internet to come together to form relationships, friendships, and partnerships.

Sadly, what many people in this industry still don’t get is that the backbone of any multi-level marketing company is, and always has been, the individual distributors. Without them, there is no company. The difference with the truly successful marketers in this industry is that they get that. They understand that prospects join a person, not a company. They join a leader - someone who can help them reach their goals.

If you take time to study the most successful network marketers, you may notice most of them do not lead with their company’s product when making first contact with a prospect. They do not lead with their opportunity. They do lead with a relationship – offering value, mentoring, support, and perhaps most importantly, leadership. What the greatest networkers also realize is that by sharing information and working together as a group, or "community," wealth creation becomes a viable opportunity for all involved.

The network marketer of today has nearly limitless options for offering value to fellow marketers and for building valuable networking relationships. Here are just a few of the places you’ll find some of the most successful people in the industry:

• Article Marketing

• Forum Marketing

• Blogs and Social Network Sites

• PPC (Pay-Per-Click)

• Ebooks

The modern-day network marketer is extraordinarily lucky to have access via the vast reach of the Internet, to so many other like-minded people. Vast networking communities made up of thousands of individual marketers are being created every day online. Not only does this industry offer the chance for unlimited earning potential and a lifetime residual income, but it offers the chance to be part of an extraordinary community. It offers the opportunity to establish friendships and partnerships that can last a lifetime..
