Having a new person “build a list” first is putting the cart in front of the horse when building a network marketing business in the 21st century. People are wary of everything when scams are everywhere. They have adopted a “Show Me” attitude. You must show your new person how to make money first. Then they can “Show” their friends that they are making money and that will build your business from zero. You’ll see why I say the traditional method does not work for you unless you have dozens or hundreds of people adding people.
And you can decide for yourself which is the better approach.
