Hello ELEH IFEANYI MICHAEL,

Online recruiting can reach many people simultaneously in different countries.

To be effective, this method requires regular recruitment work and patience.

In addition, people who sign up after an online recruiting campaign are people who are looking for a similar business to ours.
It is likely that these people have the skills it takes to do the business.


Offline marketing can be effective, but it is very limited

I would have to say BOTH!

Online recruiting gives you a wider audience, for sure. If you're lucky, you will find a few great PSAs there.

On the other hand, offline recruiting gives you the opportunity to choose your team carefully! Remember that you don't need hundreds of PSAs in order to make a great team. You just need a few carefully selected individuals. One of the most important rules of success says "Work With Workers"! So if you prefer quality to quantity,

In my own point of view, either offline or online recruiting has its own best use depending on the ability and perspective of the recruiter.

Offline is best for people who possess good communication skils and have the charisma of encouraging prospects.

Online is best for people who have the expertise in the internet marketing system, the ability to use internet applications and technical-know-how while conversing with your prospects.

But the bottomline is, either

I would say they both have their merits depending on what you are searching for. If what u want is volume from across the world, then online is your best bet. This is fishing with a wide net. You may be lucky to catch a few dedicated PSA's.

On the other hand, offline recruiting allows you to choose your team carefully from people who are familiar with you usually friends and family. They are the ones that you feel most comfortable with and can discuss any aspect of your business with.

I'd say, and many other's will agree, both ways will be important to building a successful business.
Your offline recruiting will cover your surrounding areas for example friends and relatives that do not stay under the same roof as you and would have to use the same internet line to work their SFI business. As well as shopping malls notice boards where you will always see people reading the notice boards. Great place to advertise for team building.
Your online recruiting you would advertise

In my opinion both advertising strategies have their merits and demerits so I would recommend you use both in achieving your goals in your business

With online marketing one is able to reach millions of people across the globe whether it being free or paid advertisement. You hide behind your PC, laptop, phone etc and still be able to build your business.

With the offline you do it by word of mouth, flyers, posters, seminars, etc. that way you will need to learn and read more

Offline Recruiting could stand first because you are getting the chances to talk to the people face to face more often. A face to face conversation is more effective and powerful instead of writing. When you recruit people offline they must be your local people and you can get an idea, a clear picture of their intention to converse with them. It bring a great chance to convince, teach, motivate and to be satisfied them perfectly to join SFI

You can also contact them over mobile phone

ONLINE is the best because its low cost structure. Businesses do not have to invest in expensive retail space or hire store personnel,operating costs is low. more flexibility, especially if there is a sudden downturn. Information technology systems can link an online order-entry system directly to a company's inventory tracking system so that managers know exactly how many items they have in stock and when they should reorder. Small businesses can reach a worldwide customer audience through simple

The simplest and best way to get good duplicating teams a
network marketing company in my humble opinion is to do
home meetings. But, you use the internet to recruit? Yes,
your darn right I do and it work.

Here’s a secret I’ve found…
When I recruit a person online, unless its from facebook, that
new recruit usually thinks he/she has to do the business the
same way (not always the case). So they take the internet
marketing route and struggle by themselves
