Over the last year there has been a flood of network marketers, solo-preneurs and small business owners looking to the Internet for answers to their marketing problems.

Others are looking to the Internet to help them get started making money from home in ways that have never been so simple.

The Internet provides an opportunity for anyone that can read and type (yes even my 9 year old daughter has a website) to generate leads and prospects toward any and many different offers.

This totally eliminates one of the biggest thorns in the heel of home-based business success: Unlimited access to compete for pre-sold, interested leads.

A New Breed Of Marketer

Do you remember in "The Matrix" there were a few members in Zion that had never been in the Matrix? They were called "naturals".

In 2008, out of the evolution of Internet marketing, more and more networkers are avoiding ever having to chase family members and friends on the dreaded "mall crawl".

Those pioneering networks began to attract people who will never know the pain of rejection from a prospect telling them the scram, or being hung up on.

They can’t even relate to talking with someone who wasn’t already genuinely interested in their offer,  even if they didn’t buy on the spot.

I’m always fascinated when I talk to people like that and you’ll soon see why.

I interviewed one such "natural".   His name is Eric Walker .   I have included the podcast here for your listening pleasure.

Eric became a lead of another networker who was already Internet marketing savvy, so it was natural for him to follow the Internet lead generation and prospecting model…. it’s all he knew.

He has NO Idea What The 3 foot rule is, nor has he ever struggled to make a names list.

Ignorance As a Competitive Advantage

Not having to deal with the struggle of  "’unlearning" of some of the self-sabotaging sales practices of the past, Eric is quickly establishing his credibility as a marketer and teacher.

As a matter of fact, just this week Eric launched a new blog and attracted 30 leads from just posting a comment on the Renegade Blog.

That’s right…

30 people volunteered to hear more from him based on the value he offered in a comment.

To being a born again natural,
