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 essential 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 house based business. In today's financial system, 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 outcome - flyers, business cards, dvds, elevator speech, home group meetings. These strategies are feet to the pavement, belly-to-belly marketing that will work but takes lots of time and you actually need to have the right personality to implement these strategies successfully. They definitely can work and should not 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 generate more leads to their trade on a daily basis and online marketing offers a far greater reach. You can deliver your message to thousands daily rather than 5-10 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 online real estate to start your online network marketing prospecting:
1. Built An Online Identity or Brand: This falls into the technique of "attraction marketing" and includes establishing a self-hosted blog and creating a Twitter and Facebook account. Doing this will eventually generate leads for you, but at first what it will do is to provide you with some authority. Your prospective buyers will be able to know a little bit about you and you will appear as someone who takes their business seriously. I do not know about you, but someone who I am considering doing business with, I Google them first. If I can't find them on the internet, I most certainly won't do business with them. This is 2010 after all!
2. Purchase A Domain For Your Partner Link: And, mask forward it (you can do this at your domain host very simply). Each one who joins a network marketing business will get a partner link to their replicated website (it's better to drive online traffic to a lead capture page but you should still purchase a domain for your replicated site). When you pick your domain name, mask forwarding will allow you to name your page and enter keywords for your site. This simple step will put you ahead of the majority of your competition or either do not know to do this or who don't intend to spend the $10 for a domain name!
3. Get an Auto-Responder Account: I recommend you from experience to do this as soon as possible. I "wasted" many months online before I received 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!
