If you are involved in MLM or Network Marketing, you already know that leads are the lifeblood of your business. Without them, you have no business. So, the most essential business activity that you can be doing each and every day is network marketing prospecting. Looking for people who might be interested in either making some extra money or generating a full time income with a new house based business. In today's economy, you would think that would be pretty simple!
There are a variety of "old-school" network marketing prospecting methods that you can implement that will generate some results - flyers, business cards, dvds, elevator speech, home meetings. These procedures are feet to the pavement, belly-to-belly marketing that will work but takes a lot of time and you really should have the right personality to implement these methods 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 approach of all of the top MLM'ers today to generate more leads to their trade on a daily basis and online marketing offers a far greater reach. You can deliver your message to hundreds daily rather than a few people. What do you think this will do for your business?
Things you can do Now 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 establishing a self-hosted blog and having 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 prospective customers will be able to know a little bit about you and you'll appear as someone who takes their business seriously. I don't know about you, but anyone who I am considering doing business with, I Google them first. If I can not find them on the web, I most certainly won't do business with them. It's 2010 after all!
2. Purchase A Domain For Your Partner Link: And, mask forward it (you can do this at your domain host very easily). Everyone who joins a network marketing business will receive a partner link to their replicated website (its better to drive online traffic to a lead capture page but you need to still buy a domain for your replicated site). When you choose your domain name, mask forwarding will allow you to name your page and enter keywords for your website. This easy step will put you prior to the majority of your competition or either don't know to do this or who do not intend to spend 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 received one and had no leads to show for my labors! 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 requires a person seeing an offer 7 times before they buy.
These are just a few techniques that you can get started today to begin your online network marketing prospecting. Surely, there's much to learn but, just by doing these few simple steps you'll leap ahead of much of your competition!
