Hello!
The both methods are great, but not everyone can do the both of them. Why? Because some people are shy others are more aggressive and so on. Personally I use online recruiting. Now I explain in my opinion and experience about the two methods.
1. Offline - I have made some presentations this way to my close people and I failed them all. A lot of people broke the relationships with me. But the human interaction was really qualitative. Before I make them a presentation of the business I built friendship with them. When the level of face to face communication is high, people can listen well and see the sparks in your eyes while talking about your business. After that it depends how strong is the bond between you and your prospect. Some gut the ties with you, some do not, but want you to stop the business talk. For the offline you need skills as open-mind, talkative, good self confidence and to know proper the business plan you're talking about. The talk face to face is always important and it's treasured because these days people seek attention and human interaction.
- Strengths: qualitative communication face to face and if you're confident enough and explain well people will join you at least because they respect you
- Weaknesses: If you lack self esteem people won't stay by your side anymore and they will cut the ties with you, because they will thing you will pressure them to do something that will take their money out of their pockets.
2. Online - you can reach a huge auditory, but that will cost you also a lot of time to break the ice in the relationships with them - e-mails, Skype, messages on different traffic exchange sites. You can make a presentation online or a replay and send it to the persons, but it's not sure they will watch it. When they did they can stop to talk with you or to change the topic if they don't want to join you. They will feel uncomfortable saying they won't join you, so even if they don't join your team, ask them delicate what they think about your presentation and of course share your story. In this online field you should have a blog and most important - to be an authority in certain niche. This way people will trust you more because they don't know you personally, but they see your online image that you should feed daily. Online targeting for sure will give you more followers but only if you prove yourself as leader and share interesting content.
- Strengths - large field of people you can reach, faster and easier way to share about your business without having the fear people will reject you as a person. Because they will not be so close to you as your "warm marketing"" of friends and family. But still if you're not confident enough in what you do and don't stand behind your words with actions, you will lose the people's attention
- Weaknesses - not qualitative human contact face to face, you don't know who is real person and who is a bot for example; you're not sure if the people saw your presentation.
In the end: I prefer online marketing because more people I reach more possibilities for building a great team even if it happens slower then with "warm market''. Offline communication face to face always beats the online because of the human interaction face to face. You should do it when you have a strong belief you're on your way and want to share it even if you risk losing contacts.
