With the invention of the internet, network marketing is a booming business. To get into this type of business just ten years ago, you would have had to be introduced into it by a friend or relative. Now that you have the internet, you can bring your network marketing opportunities and your products to a lot more people than ever before. You can use instant video, audio, and complete explanations of your business on the web. However, to do all this, you will need to have a website.
One of the biggest problems with the majority of network marketing affiliate programs is that the website that they give you is basically a duplicate website that looks like everyone else’s which makes the search engines ignore the website. What you really need is a website of your own, one that you can personalize with all of your information.
What you will need first is a domain name. Try to select a domain name that has keywords in it pertaining to your business. If you can’t do this, then it is still possible to get good rankings with the search engines without it. Next, you will need web hosting. Cheap web hosting is okay; however, keep in mind that you will get what you pay for in most cases. You will want to experiment with several different web hosting services to find the right one that meets your needs and most importantly that it will be up 100% of the time.
You will need to purchase some software to design your website and software to help you link your website to other websites of similar interests and quality. There is a wide variety of software out there. You may have to do some research to find the right one for you; however, most people use Macromedia’s Dreamweaver or Frontpage. You could also purchase a website template that has already been designed for a small fee. There are also a few good free software programs that will help you design your website. There is really only one website linking software that you could ever need. Linking to your competitors is important because it will ensure that you get a steady flow of traffic from websites that are similar in content to yours. Zeus Reciprocal Link software is one of the best linking software programs out there.
You must have the determination to learn how to design your website. A little skill does not hurt either. It can be a very frustrating process to design your web pages; however, it can also be very exciting and exhilarating. You can find many books and websites that will give you the information that you need to learn how to design your website. No one, but you, will know what you want and need on your website. So why hire someone else to do it when you can do it yourself?

What is your TOP 10 website promotion list?
My TOP 10 promotion list. What is your top 10?
1. Search engines.
2. Forums and Message boards are a great way to promote your link. Just put the link in your signature.
3. Use Free Ad Boards. for eg. http://BusinessFreeAd.com or http://ovgo.com These are boards that you can post a text ad free for a pre-determined period of time, usually 5 to 10 days. Then your ad expires and you are emailed the option to re-post your ad free for another cycle.
4. Free classifieds are a fast and easy way for you to start marketing, especially if you’re new to internet marketing. For eg. http://tumano.com , UsFreAds.com, etc
5. Pay per click (PPC) is now one of the most popular way to advertise in the Internet. Use Google Adwords, Yahoo! Sponsored Search, etc.
6. Social Bookmarking. Submit your links to social bookmark networks such as digg and del.icio.us
7. Use social networks such as facebook, myspace, linkedin, yuwie.com
8. Publish an E-Mail Newsletter. While it’s a big commitment in time, publishing a monthly e-mail newsletter ("ezine") is one of the very best ways to keep in touch with your prospects, generate trust, develop brand awareness, and build future business.
9. Install a "Signature" in your E-Mail Program to help potential customers get in touch with you.
10. Write Articles for Others to Use in their Newsletters. One of the best means of marketing is by submitting articles to online article directories.
Nr.11 Register a domain and redirect the visitors. It’s a lot easier for people to find you if you have your own domain name rather than anonymousblog.blogspot. com.

I agree that it is far superior to design your own site rather then use the canned one for sales, that alone will help with consumer sales. With wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal all easy to install and maintain, anyone should be able to get a decent site up pretty quickly.
On the other hand, I don't think anyone should be in the business of network marketing. I think the whole thing is basically a scam. I recently wrote an article about how evil it is, and how little money is actually made net expenses. Making a custom site may help somewhat, but the basic business model is broken.
Hi Boots, while you have the right to your own opinion, I don't believe that any business model is “evil” or a “scam”.
It seems that you may have come across some network marketing companies that are not legitimate businesses.
What about the millions of people who love to buy products from distributors of companies like Tupperware, Avon, Watkins, Amway, Vemma, and Herbalife. And, that's just a few of the more popular well known companies, there are hundreds more. Have you noticed that the products these companies produce are more superior than those you can buy elsewhere, and a lot of consumers appreciate quality and the service that comes with them.
