Ah yes, the million dollar question: “How to get Network Marketing Leads?” If only there was a simple button to push and make leads fall out of the sky. Unfortunately it’s not that easy, but at the same time, it doesn’t have to be hard, either.
I’ve put together a How To Get Network Marketing Leads idea list below, and I think you’ll find it very useful – regardless of if you are a beginner struggling to make any money or a season veteran looking for ways to further expand your empire.
Buy Leads
This might seem like an “easy way out” and half of you are probably saying “Why the heck did he start his list with this?” But the simple truth is that generating leads takes time and effort, whereas purchasing a leads list gives you potentially warm leads right off the bat. Sure you’ve still got to create a relationship with each one and get them to sign up, but at least you’re not out beating your head against the wall prospecting on the street. Besides, buy leads often yields a higher sign-up ratio than hitting the pavement, and does so in much less time.
Start A Blog
If you create an online presence, there’s a good chance that people looking to get into a network marketing business might find your site. And if you optimize your blog with high quality content and include an effective method for people to contact you – BAM! You’ve got a warm lead right there. You might need some Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to start getting loads of visitors, but it can be done for minimal costs – sometimes even free.
Craigslist
For those who don’t know what Craigslist is, it’s basically a free online want-ad newspaper. It’s free to create advertisements and free to browse them. Craigslist is divided by city, and is read by millions of people per day. Some people are afraid of Craigslist these days as its administrators are cracking down on shady advertisers, including unscrupulous network marketers who are cloaking their real intent. But if you are straight forward and honest about what you are offering, you shouldn’t have any problem.
Custom Printed Shirt or Hat
Imagine wearing an article of clothing that says: “Ask me how I make $1,000 per day.” Chances are you’d get plenty of looks, and probably even an occasional conversation. Guess what – that conversation is a lead. And you didn’t have to prospect them, they came to you! All you did was carried out your normal business while your shirt/hat/jacket/whatever did all the work for you.
Build A Website
Regular readers of NetworkMarketingDollars.com know how hard I push this, but for the rest of you: Listen up! You absolutely need a network marketing website in today’s electronic, online world. Not only will it lend credibility to your business, but with the right design it can actually generate leads automatically. By simply adding an opt-in list, people will literally be begging for you to share your opportunity.
Partnerships
By working together with other Network Marketers, you stand a much better chance of success. Not only will your peers keep you motivated and push you to work hard, the entire group can benefit from the strengths of each other. We are all good at certain things, and not at others; if you create a partnership with people who’s strengths compliment others’ weaknesses, you can really create a lot of momentum fast.
Hit The Streets
This is usually the technique most network marketers want to avoid, but the simple fact is that actively searching for new leads in your community (“prospecting”) is still a viable way to get network marketing leads. Will most people shut you down? Definitely. Will those who are interested likely sign up? Absolutely. Sure the percentage is low, and it takes a tough stomach to handle frequent rejection, but it is still a great way to get network marketing leads.
