Planning and Using a Replicated Website

Technology is fast changing the world and it is important for all to keep pace with technology. Progressive MLM companies are using new technologies and tools to expand their network of distributors and help their distributors in lead conversion. One of the most exciting new support tools is a replicated website. This is the latest in a growing list of tools required by direct sales people and online marketers for their success. Replicating websites is an incredible tool for online marketers, network companies and MLM distributors for their success.

Developing a replicating website

A replicated website has been quite popular over the last few years. Developing replicating sites is a well planned process. Replicating sites cannot be developed all of a sudden.  Businesses need to have a definite plan in place to develop one such site:

Planning for a replicated site

The company develops a corporate website containing all relevant information including product description, compensation plan, enrolment form and others. A prospect can decide to buy a product or join a company online without ever talking to the actual person. But MLM businesses understand that allowing a new person to sign up directly without going through a distributor is violating the norm of MLM business. So it is important that every lead or prospect comes through a distributor and a replicated website helps distributors to present a business with its brand and message.

Works more like a corporate brochure

Self replicating websites help distributors build a distinct web presence. It’s more like a corporate brochure that contains your name and contact number. This creates a technological relationship between the corporate website and the replicated site that helps when a lead decides to buy a product or service or when somebody agrees to join the network.

Allows limited personalization

A replicated website acts as an extension of the corporate website. A distributor has no control over the content or branding of the website. It is a pre-designed and branded website given to a distributor and is of tremendous help for a distributor who is trying to build is new network. However, a replicated site does allow its users some personalization. A user can include his unique contact information, links to his social networking sites and can sometimes upload videos. This helps in making a convincing web presence and also shows an individual distributor as a real person.

Now it’s possible to build a network of a thousand people or more without ever meeting them in person. Of course, technology cannot replace face-to-face communication. Face-to-face is important for business and there are some people who prefer to do business in the old way. But there are others who are embracing this new technology. They are in a rush to use it for their business.  The future of a business is largely dependent on how its owner uses technology for its growth. Hence it is relevant to inquire new technologies to ensure smooth growth of your business.
