Online Marketing Spam and Direct Sales

When it comes to Direct Sales and trying to build a Direct Sales Home Business, I often see consultants/reps make numerous mistakes in what is considered to be ’spam marketing’.

What is spam marketing you might ask? Well, it is many things so we will go over a few of them in this post.

If you are running online and joining social networks and work at home forum boards and only joining them to spam your business information…guess what? You are a spam marketer.

If you are building a blog but taking the email address of those who follow or comment on your blog and adding them to your newsletter list…you are a spam marketer.

If you are sending customer newsletters, sales ads and other information via email to people who did not specifically sign up to receive your sales information…you are a spam marketer.

If you are running around and visiting various Direct Sales Consultants Web Sites and snagging their telephone number off their web sites and calling them up and giving them your sales pitch on why they should leave their company and join yours…guess what? You are a spam marketer.

Spam is many things and often times…Direct Sales consultants are not properly trained on how they should be building their customer lists or how they should be marketing themselves online.

If you are marketing your home business in any of the ways I described above…you are a spam marketer and it’s NOT the proper way you should be doing business.

If you want to market yourself and your business the right way, I suggest you read through several of the posts on this blog. Check out our business tips, business articles and direct sales articles that will help guide you down the correct path to marketing a Direct Sales business online.
