Hey “E” Gang…

Old School Marketing: (meetings, parties, and the like)
New School Marketing: (Internet and social media stuff)

So, the $64,000 question. Does “Old School” marketing still work these days?

I think you know the answer already, and it is OF COURSE it works, ”if” it’s done right.

See, I think you should do what fits your personality best. Sure, experiment with new stuff (or old stuff) to continue to grow your marketing “bag-o-tricks,” but do what you like doing to build your business, let others do what they like. Find ways to blend them together.

QUICK STORY: (to those who think old school is out.

I know two guys. One a new school top pro that has trained “thousands” of people to build an m.l.m. business online with videos. I interviewed him (Jonathan Budd) for my http://twitterbreak.com/ website recently and learned a few things. Let’s just talk “numbers” in this story. In his first 5 months with his current m.l.m company, this stud built a team of 1,900 in his Genewize business. This is fantastic.

Now to the old schooler. This guy, (Nonoy) has never built a huge network or income. He has built his Efusjon team to over 3,000 in his first 2 full months. HELLO!!! He builds thru home meetings (parties). The “old” school way. Now, some of his team I’m sure are building new school but many are doing it thru old school marketing. See how this m.l.m. “nobody” SMASHED the superstar new schooler, with his little home parties that many new schoolers laugh at. This is not an islolated thing either.

Why does old school still work? Simple. It still works because this is a “PEOPLE” business and
there’s always something fun and special about getting together. IF you make it fun and special
and your opportunity is great like Efusjon.

My point is this…Don’t laugh at what other people are doing if it’s working. Do what WORKS!!

What works best is a “combination” of both.

Think about it. Should YOU be doing a “home party?” Should you be doing more “oneline” marketing?

With the games like RAD and EWorld and other online tools coming out, it will be even easier to build a business online, but don’t forget, old school is still in session and ALWAYS will be.
