Hi Amanda. Good question. There are so many promotional tools online and offline that sometimes it gets confusing. I will give you few resources and strategies that will surely help your friend.
1. Set up a table in a local mall or trade show where you can display your products.
2. Talk to friends and family that the products can benefit. Yep they still work but just don't spend too much time trying to convince them.
3. Go to network marketing events where you can learn from the experts and take note for each speaker.

The best way to start in network marketing is to create your 100 names list. This is a list of everybody that you know and what you will begin doing in sharing the business opportunity and products with people on this list.

The next step is to then use more traditional marketing models. This can be networking events, meet up groups, Facebook, twitter, blogging, networking breakfast meetings, following up with people, email marketing, advertising, classified ads, job boards, replying to yahoo answers, meeting people on every day outings.

Hope this helps

Hello Amanda,

This is just a tip. There is a software called BuzzBundle that you can use to search forums, Q&A websites (yahoo answers), social networks (twitter, facebook, linkedin) for a specific keyword. For example, you can search for whenever someone posts a question containing the keyword “how to sell a product” and quickly engage with that person to propose a solution.

I am not that knowledgeable in network marketing, but if he wants to enhance the relationship with his network, he might try email marketing. With email marketing you can keep people engaged with you and your business.

For example, you can send them useful information to help them in their endeavors, or keep them informed with the latest developments within your business, or just ask for questions and suggestions.

If you want to read more about email marketing, I wrote an article about it recently, just follow the link below.
