Online Prospecting For MLM Leads

by Sharon on April 9, 2009

You’re going to have a few options available to you to get MLM leads off the internet – the paid way and the free way. They are both effective methods, but each has their own advantages. When you get right down to it, it is how fast you need things to work and how much of a budget you have available to you. The key is to attract prospective MLM downlines to your website and capture their email or other contact details. Once you have their contact, they have given you permission to share with them  your MLM business opportunity.

The free methods available to you are organic traffic from search engines, posting on forums, writing articles for directories, doing some blogging, viral marketing, press releases and many more methods.

The paid methods involve PPC (Pay Per Click), advertising through a CPA, sponsored reviews, lists, press releases (paid) and paid banner advertising.

The vast majority of people will start with the free methods online because it has the least amount of risk associated with it. You can start up a website or blog and start driving traffic to it with the free methods listed above. I think it is very important to buy yourself a domain name, so that you can properly brand yourself. Blogging is a very popular way of creating content, engaging visitors and getting noticed by search engines. When you target long tail keywords, you can start getting traffic relatively quickly. There are directories to submit your site to, you can write for article directories and participate on forums to drive even more traffic to your blog.

After you start getting a good amount of MLM leads with the free methods, you can feel more confident about putting money into the paid methods. Google Adwords is probably about the most common way for people to generate traffic for their website. Basically you can bid on keywords and pay for the people that come to your site. This is a very fast way of generating traffic. It should start in as little as 15 minutes. Buying ad space on another site with a banner can help drive their traffic to your site. Sponsoring bloggers in the multi level marketing niche is another great thing you can do since they’ll write a product review for you.

An important part of doing an online MLM business is capturing your visitors that are interested. All businesses work to get return business and you can only do that with names. Capturing people’s names and email addresses will give you a method to contact them over and over again. People don’t always buy into what you’re selling the first time they see it. You just offer them some incentive (like an ebook or free MLM video) to give you their name and email. At this point you can contact them in the future to warm them up to your multi level marketing business opportunity. Eventually they’ll be interested and you can easily sponsor them into your MLM network.

In order to generate more qualified leads for your network marketing business you need to put yourself into the shoes of your prospects. Identify their needs and market your product or service accordingly – at the early stage your prospect is much more concerned what the benefits for him or her are rather than in how great your product is.
