MLM Network Marketing Lead Generation Techniques

Network marketing is a numbers game. The more people you introduce to your MLM business, the more money you’ll make. To start generating a steady stream of leads your website, try these 7 creative MLM Network Marketing Lead Generation techniques.

1. Write and Distribute Articles, Reports and Ebooks. Internet users are all interested in one thing – information. Use this to promote your MLM business by creating high quality content and allowing others to reprint it for you. One great way to do this is to distribute a brandable ebook or special report. This is one that a website or list owner can change to include a reference to their website. This doesn’t mean that it looks like they are the publisher, it’s just a way for them to include information on where the ebook was downloaded from and (if applicable) to include their affiliate link for your products and services.

Another great MLM Network Marketing Lead Generating Technique is Article Marketing. It is a free way to generate traffic to your website and your network marketing business and with just a little training your can start generating 20-50 leads a day using article marketing.

2. Participate in Newsgroups, Forums, and Mailing Lists. There are hundreds of forums online and you can find one for almost any topic imaginable. Most allow you to include a signature line that will be attached to every message. This is a chance for you to advertise your MLM website. Visiting these forums to post thoughtful questions and offer your expertise will mean your signature is viewed by others and will bring you free, targeted lead traffic. Of course how much traffic you get depends on how often you post and whether your signature makes people want to visit your site. A good approach is to use an ad you’ve had success with elsewhere as your signature.

3. Join Networking Sites to Build your MLM network. Networking sites are designed to make it easy for people to meet others in their industry and to advertise their products and service. Similar to offline networking events where lots of people come together for the sole purpose of meeting people, online networking sites work the same way.

4. Use Classified Sites and Traffic Exchanges. Classified ad sites and traffic exchanges have gotten a bad reputation, but they really do work if you know how to use them. If you’re promoting a product or service that advertisers can benefit from then they’re a great place to get traffic and generate leads to your MLM or Network Marketing business. Although not very many consumers visit this type of advertising sites, lots of website owners do in order to make sure their ad appears on the site. While there they can’t help but notice other ads and if one catches their attention you’re likely to get a visitor and generate a lead for your MLM or network marketing business.

5. Run a Contest. People love the prospect of winning something – that’s why a contest can be a great traffic generator. The key is to choose a prize that will attract people from your target audience. If you make the grand prize a new laptop you’ll get entries from everyone who would like to win a new laptop (which is basically every computer user in the world!). Get more targeted traffic by choosing something that your MLM customers or prospects would be interested in but wouldn’t mean much to other people. To start promoting your contest do a search in Google for “Contest Directories” and you’ll find lots of places to list your contest for free.

6. Include a Powerful Signature on all Outgoing Email. Every time you send a piece of mail you have the potential to get a visitor to your MLM site. Simply create a “signature” that is automatically added to every outgoing message. Use the signature to briefly explain what you do, give your MLM username and add a hyperlink to your site. Once it’s set up you don’t have to think about it again!

7. Try Newsletter Classified Ads. There are lots of newsletter publishers who give classified ads to new subscribers. Although these don’t typically bring a huge response, they can generate some traffic if you offer something with a high perceived value but low price tag. They’re also a great way to test new ads to see which ones get the best response. Once you’ve found a winner use it in a PPC campaign, make it your new email signature, run it as a top MLM sponsor newsletter ad or use it as your forum signature.

I hope these MLM Network Marketing lead generating techniques will help you increase traffic to your website and build your network marketing business.

Blogging is a concept that started in late 90s. It used to be a way to comment an existing webpage, an opportunity for visitors and readers to react or voice out one’s opinion on the said page. What started as a single-sentence commentary has evolved into pages of personal take on just about anything and everything under the sun. As it continues to move forward, online advertising has tapped into the blog’s potential. Here are 5 reasons why you should use blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

MLM is an excellent way for the “average Joe or Jane” to make an extra income. This business concept has been around for decades, and it will not disappear any time soon. The reason for its popularity is simple… It Works! It does however, require lots of work and most importantly, dedication and persistence to get the job done. The best part is, once you are able to set up a solid network, your business becomes MUCH less time intensive. Almost like going on “autopilot”. The key is to get there as fast as possible.

Tips To Maximize Your MLM Business:

1. Use your products regularly. This is Number 1 for a reason, this is the most ignored part of ANY MLM business. How do you expect your business to succeed if you will not even use your own products? It does seem silly to even have to bring this up, but there are many who are not using their own products, and wonder why they are not making any money. Make a commitment to use your products for a year, and see where your business goes.

2. Educate yourself constantly. This is very important! You must rid yourself of negative ideas, sometimes referred to as “stinkin thinkin”. This can be done in a variety of ways. I recommend reading at least 15 minutes a day, but try to shoot for 30. Business and self-help books are a great way to start. Don’t forget your Multi-level magazines, as they are full of tips and advice. Lastly, listen to cassette tapes on multi-level tips from top earners in your business.

3. Spend as much time as possible with your upline. Your upline should have only one goal in mind, To Help You Succeed! They are a vast source of knowledge and information. Mingle with top distributors in your group, or other groups, and ask how they made it. Most everyone should be more than happy to provide you with excellent tips and advice.

4. Present your products and marketing plan personally to at least one person daily. Remember above when I said you are going to have to work, well here it is. Now here is the key, the prospects to whom you present your plan, do not have to be yours personally. Show the plan for your downline, and not only will you create “security” by placing members in your downlines’ downline, it will also give you a boost in your personal income! I can guarantee if you were to follow this rule for 6 months, you would create a downline with enough width and depth to create an income to sustain you and your family for life.

5. Care for your downline. An entire book can be written on this topic. Usually, it’s the little things that show you really care. Try to maintain regular contact, and always praise your MLM distributor’s accomplishments. You can even offer incentives for specific achievements, such as money, travel, recognition, or other rewards, to help motivate your group.

6. Duplicate yourself by making distributors independent of you. This will help to multiply your time, thus making you and your group more effective. Always lead by example. Never stop recruiting, training and retailing. Remember the KISS formula – “Keep It Simple, Sweety” I know, I know, I changed the last word, but it maintains the meaning. This can be done my conducting simple, brief, yet dramatic presentations, and teaching your downline to do the same.

7. Create a large customer base. This is another largely ignored, yet very important, piece of your network marketing business. Many try so hard to build a huge downline, that they forget how much profit they could also make by selling their products to retail customers. Some people will just not want to become part of your downline, no matter how great a product/system you may have. This does not mean they will not be personally interested in your product. Try to make everyone your customer. Once you earn their trust, they will come to you more, and perhaps even join your MLM business later. Always “leave the door open”, as people’s needs do change.

Following these steps will almost give you immediate results in your MLM business. Thank you for reading this, and I truly hope this has provided you with valuable information to help you and your MLM business grow and succeed.

I know that a lot of you are already involved in an MLM company or you are shopping around for a MLM company to hang your heart on. If you are like I was, you are nervous and anxious because, let’s face it, MLM’s or Network  Marketing companies have gotten some bad press. But after a lot of research into the nature of the MLM business I have found that it truly is “The Perfect Business Model.”  Let me tell you why I fell this way.

Multi-Level Marketing (aka MLM) has been around for decades and it is a tried and true way marketing technique to get products into the hands of consumers. I realize that the MLM business has gotten a “bum rap” from many over the years and yes, I must include myself in the naysayer’s list. I have heard MLM businesses called everything from a “pyramid” scheme all the way to a downright scam. Again, I myself have been guilty of this. But just recently my opinion was changed radically and it came about when I reunited with an old friend that I had once worked with in the banking industry.

Only because I knew and trusted her, when she mentioned the MLM word to me, I didn’t immediately throw my hands over my ears and run screaming for cover. I took the time to hear what she had to say. I soon realized a lot of what she was saying made perfect sense to me.

You see, recently I had sold my own retail business where my husband and I wore all the hats. I was CEO of procurement, inventory control, and the coffee maker. He was CEO of Sales and Vice-President of the Complaint Department. No aspect of the business escaped us, nor could we escape from it. If we stopped the business stopped and thus the income stopped. I must say it was an interesting and mostly profitable 30 years!

 All this being said, I will now  tell you why I think a MLM Business is the Perfect Business Model.

Reason #1 – Your Business is Run by Professionals

Who wants to wear all the hats? It is a full-time 24/7 JOB that you can never really shut down. Your primary MLM business has taken care of all of that. They are the ones that have invested their time and money on product research and development, inventory control, shipping and receiving.

You don’t have to handle returns or complaints, that is all taken care of by the MLM company.

Reason #2 – Small Initial Investment

Most network marketing businesses I have researched allow their representatives to quality for a very modest amount. This gets you started and your success is determined by YOUR efforts and results of those efforts. Sometimes you can get lucky and find that one person that will propel your team to the top or you might just be that person yourself.

Reason #3 – Leverage

There are only 24 hours in a day. One person (or two in our case) can only do so much. But in network marketing the power and leverage of multiplication is amazing. Two soon becomes four. Four becomes eight. Eight becomes 16 etc., etc.

Reason #4 – Possibility of Building a Significant Residual Income.

There is no way in retail sales to build a residual income. Sure, you can have loyal customers that come back to you year after year. But once you close your doors or retire, the income stops. Not so in network marketing. As your down line grows and as your MLM grows, your residual income taps into generation after generation of your down line. I know someone who is still receiving residual income from a MLM company that they were in 20 plus years ago. Now this is not a rule of thumb, it all depends on the MLM company you join. So let this be a very big factor in choosing what MLM you go with.

Reason #5 – Quality of Life

In a network marketing company, you are truly your own boss. Your achievements are based on the effort you put into building your business. When you are not working, your business is still growing. While you are spending time with your family, your business is still growing, and while you are sleeping your business is still growing.

Reason #6 – It’s FUN

A lot of people call this relationship marketing and I love that term. Because after all, it is all about relationships. From what I have experienced it is all about people helping people. If your down line doesn’t succeed, you don’t succeed. And the same can be said for your up line. Everyone pulls together to help each other and many strong and long-lasting friendships are formed. I heard one person say that the time that he had spent in the networking marketing business had changed his life forever. He felt as though he was a better and stronger person for having had the experience.
