1. You should start an internet based network marketing business. Before you throw this idea out the window, you should know that network marketing is different than the old Amway days.

The Internet now makes it possible for anyone to build a worldwide business in record time. This is especially true if you are using Internet based products as your product line.

The process can be essentially automated by having a great website, and doing follow ups with a good quality autoresponder. You should also implement the use of a landing page and create your own leads. What you are really doing is sorting at this point. You are allowing the Internet to weed out the tire kickers and concentrate on the people who are sincerely interested in joining your business.

This is not to say that you still don't want to be involved on a personal level in one way or another. After all, network marketing is based on networking and to do that you need to have contact with your prospects and your distributors.

The internet is, once again, great for that. Simple tools such as email and internet chat can be used to accelerate the relationship building procedure.

Audio and video now make it possible for you to train your distributors in record time. Even weekly conference calls can be archived so that people can go back and listen to them at their own leisure.

One other tool that is fantastic is called Skype. This is another form of instant messaging, but also includes a telephone feature. You can use Skype to talk with other members worldwide for free, and it is like being in the same room with them.

The basic process of network marketing has stayed the same. You still need a quality product and you need to either use it yourself or retail it to customers.

Then you want to spend the bulk of your time building a downline, which allows you to create duplication and leverage your income in a big way.

Network marketing is definitely one way to make big money online. It should be a least one of your income streams if you want to create an opportunity for yourself to retire early someday.
