You may be caught in this dilemma: Network marketing is going through a major transition, from "old school" (or old style) to "new school".

Old school network marketing is:

• Relying on your "warm market" (friends, family, work colleagues) to get started.
• Seeing everyone you know and meet as a prospective business partner and possible customer (if not business partner).

• Relying on face-to-face "meetings" to build your network of prospective business partners and customers.

(There are some more fundamentals to "old school" network marketing. We'll discuss them later.)

New school network marketing is:

• Relying on "attraction marketing" principles to build a network that finds value in their relationship with you because you provide them with information and counsel that they need and want.
• Building a list and marketing products and services to your list.

• Relying on social networking online--and in-person--to ensure that people who will want to follow you and your interests and expertise can find you and get to know what you offer.
