Getting Rich Rapidly vs. Getting Rich Slowly on the Web

Copyright 2001 by Jules van Zyl. All Rights Reserved Recently, two main approaches to "Getting Rich" seem to be dominating business on the World Wide Web: 1) GETTING RICH SLOWLY This is an approach which emphasises the building of relationships with people, which takes some time initially, but pays off in the long run. This is my definition for the SLOWLY approach: «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Short Frequent Conversations (email messages) to Prequalified, Interested People = a Slow, but certain Response = Less Rejection + Smaller Expenses which implies that you "Get Rich Slowly" «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« 2) GETTING RICH RAPIDLY This approach emphasises the "selling approach", before you even know the person youre selling to. "Getting Rich Rapidly" goes something like this: «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Massive Advertising targeted at Everyone possible = Massive Hits = Rejection + Massive Expenses which implies that you "Get Rich Rapidly" «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Both these approaches claim to "Get You Rich", but the Rapid approach is becoming harder and harder, with too much competition. It worked well when the World Wide Web was novel and a mystery to the majority. Attitudes toward the Web are changing and so is the approach to Network Marketing Online. To compare these two approaches, youre going to see some issues that all Network Marketers should address. This might sound a bit depressing. But, fear not! Well also provide some solutions so you can see how the two approaches work. You can the decide for yourself which approach you prefer to use. «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« ISSUE 1: How do you get people to "Click on" your Business Opportunity Website? How do you get them to read your Business information? Getting Rich RAPIDLY approach: Massive advertising to everyone possible. Do everything you can just to get people to your Website. Getting Rich SLOWLY approach: Frequent, informative, and short email messages to numerous pre-qualified prospects (people whove asked for information). Build a rapport with these people over time, so you get to know each other. «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« ISSUE 2: How do you encourage a person to get interested in Your Business? Getting Rich RAPIDLY Approach: Provide the prospect with LOTS of information on your Website. Offer him or her a free website for joining your business. Offer lots of other freebies and benefits, everything you can possibly give away. Have messages popping up everywhere from the website. Getting Rich SLOWLY Approach: Build a relationship over time, by sending the person useful information that may assist him or her. Provide information about your business only WHEN he or she requests it. By sending useful information, you are building respect. People realise that you really can help them. «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« ISSUE 3: How do you reduce the Rejected, Negative Feelings when 90-95% of your prospects say "no"? Getting Rich RAPIDLY Approach: Forget about those people and move on to more. Theres plenty more "fish in the sea". Getting Rich SLOWLY Approach: Have so many people receiving your messages that you hardly notice a request to "stop sending information". Besides, if you are providing useful information without "selling", then people are more likely to stay on your list. When the times right for someone and IF he or she is interested, the person will inquire about your business. You wont feel rejected because you havent spent loads of time and money on phone bills talking to them. «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« ISSUE 4: How do you get enough money for Advertising and Phone Calls? Getting Rich RAPIDLY Approach: Sell your house, your car and anything you own. After all, youll be rich one day, so it doesnt matter. This is what one of my upline told me "I had to sell 2 holiday homes and 2 cars to pay for these Websites that you are now using. Dont worry about how much money you spend, because your going to be rich soon. Getting Rich SLOWLY Approach: You wont need to make lots of phone calls. In fact, lots of people will call you first. You can receive free leads if you use the right kind of support services company. That is, one that guarantees pre-qualified leads every month and can also pay you a secondary income. This way, youve cut down your advertising costs AND your phone bills. Then, you can spend your money on yourself. «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« So, theres the difference between the two approaches. Youll notice that Im rather sceptical of the RAPIDLY approach. Network Marketers can (and do) lose a lot of money when they work that way. Its unfortunate that so many sponsors convince people that it actually works (well, for a while at least). The "Get Rich Rapidly" advocates encourage their downline to do everything possible to give Their Websites and Their company a name. You promote your uplines Websites through your advertising and campaign and with your money. This is how it usually works: Your upline (or your company) provides Websites for you. You and everyone else advertises them (quite often using the same add). Everyone sends out the same email. Excessive duplication becomes massive. Hundreds, even thousands of email and adds appear on the Net with similar wording. The Duplicate Websites are all mirror images of each other, except for the number on the end of the address, like this: http://MyUplineWebsite.com/?123456 (this is a fake) Did you know that many of the Search Engines are now programmed to ignore the Websites with a ?. So, if you spend all that time submitting your site (with the ?), the search engine will actually find your uplines Website (same address, no? every time). The real owner of the first Website has complete control. You cannot add, modify or delete anything. You cannot monitor the Website to count visitors. You cannot insert links or banners, offer specials or discounts. However, you can create your own doorway pages to provide your own individuality. Do you receive email from strangers begging you to click on their link to a Website. Why should you click? Do you get a meaningful reason to click? Have you asked for that email? Are you even slightly interested, or is the email just an intrusion in your mail box? A Solution to Using Just Websites ================================= There is a Better Way.... Despite all those disadvantages, the World Wide Web is a great place for you to earn money. Websites can be an excellent resource for information. But, email systems are quite sophisticated too. Email can provide automation of mundane and repetitive tasks, and complement your Website. Autoresponders allow people to send numerous messages to thousands of people with only a few keystrokes or mouse clicks. You can follow up for as long as your interested person allows you to. Autoresponders assist you to build a relationship with people over a long period of time, without pushing or selling to them. They get to know and trust you. You might have some people in your autoresponder list for a year before they are ready to become your partner. The Get Rich Slowly approach utilizes Websites too, but only when the prospect is serious, not just curious. The prospect is more likely to read the material on your Website once youve built a rapport with him or her over time. Just to sum up: --------------- To "Get Rich Slowly", you dont need to go broke before you get rich. You can have lots of fun making friends with people all over the world while you build your business. If you decide to use the "Get Rich Rapidly" approach, you might spend so much money promoting your business, that you never actually get Rich. Plus, you dont get much time to make friends using that approach. Copyright 2001 by Jules van Zyl.
