If you are involved in MLM or Network Marketing, you already know that leads are the livelihood of your business. Without them, you have no business. So, the most significant business activity that you can be doing each and every day is network marketing prospecting. Searching for people who might be interested in either making some extra money or generating a full time income with a new home based business. In today's economy, you would think that would be pretty easy!
There're a number of "old-school" network marketing prospecting ideas that you can implement that will generate some results - flyers, business cards, dvds, elevator speech, home meetings. These methods are feet to the pavement, belly-to-belly marketing that will work but takes many time and you actually need to have the right personality to implement these approaches successfully. They definitely can work and shouldn't be avoided 100%.
The Top Network Marketing Prospecting Approach
Marketing your network marketing business ONLINE is the top strategy of all of the top MLM'ers today to produce more leads to their business on a daily basis and online marketing offers a far greater reach. You can deliver your message to thousands each day rather than a few people. What do you think this will do for your business?
Things you can do TODAY to start to carve out your own piece of internet real estate to start your online network marketing prospecting:
1. Create An Online Identity or Brand: This falls into the category of "attraction marketing" and includes setting up a self-hosted blog and creating a Twitter and Facebook account. Doing this will ultimately generate leads for you, but at first what it will do is to offer you with some authority. Your potential buyers will be able to know a bit about you and you will appear as someone who takes their business sincerely. I do not know about you, but someone who I am considering doing business with, I Google them first. If I cannot find them online, I most likely won't do business with them. This is 2010 after all!
2. Buy A Domain For Your Partner Link: And, mask forward it (you can do this at your domain host very simply). Everyone who joins a network marketing business will get an affiliate link to their replicated website (it is better to drive online traffic to a lead capture page but you should still buy a domain for your replicated site). When you choose your domain name, mask forwarding will let you to name your page and enter keywords for your site. This easy step will put you prior to the majority of your competition or either do not know to do this or who don't wish to pay out the $10 for a domain name!
3. Get an Auto-Responder Account: I recommend you from experience to do this as quickly as possible. I "wasted" many months online before I got one and had no leads to show for my efforts! You will wish to capture your prospective customers name and email address so that you could follow-up with them via email. They say that it needs a person seeing an offer 7 times before they buy.
These are a few methods that you can get started today to begin your online network marketing prospecting. Definitely, there is much to learn but, just by doing these few simple steps you will leap ahead of much of your competition!
