How to Generate MLM Leads Cost Effectively
Remember that wonderful feeling you had when you first signed up to start your home based business, that flutter in your stomach as the excitement of a new opportunity was right there in front of you. Just like that, you had the chance to make great money, spend more time with family and have a residual income to support you for the rest of your life.
But within a very short period of time, you alienated your friends and family, you spent money with little or no results, you hung flyers, talked to people at parties and what was fun now was expensive, and made you the person to avoid at Thanksgiving.
You were anxious to tell everyone about this great product that you thought your friends and family would want. You followed all the rules and were attentive at seminars and listened to upline seniors. Yet money still flows out more than profits flow in.
New technology offers new ways to sell your product. Dont quit yet. These opportunities are less costly and often result in more leads than the time-honored (old fashioned?) methods of generating leads.
Here are three of the ways to look for leads that you may not have tried yet:
Local Events
Quite often you will find networking events in your own area, where you can meet people who are looking for an additional income and are open to your ideas. This is more common now that unemployment is sky-rocketing. You can find such gatherings on the internet and even be able to attend one as often as every week. Be a little cautious at these events ” do not oversell your product or service. Find out how you can help the person you are talking to and build a friendly relationship before you start pushing your product. You can expand your business multifold based on a relationship like this.
Social Networks
This rapidly increasing part of the internet can give you a rapidly expanding business if you use it in the same way you work a live event. Become helpful and friendly and get to know the person you are communicating to and eventually they will realize you have a good product for them, too. Pushing your product at the beginning of a relationship with someone new will just drive them away ” they think just another MLMer is trying to get rid of a product. So go slow and become a friend. You will enjoy it more, too.
Other Internet Tools
Using other internet tools to increase your list of prospects without spending money can sometimes even help you make money from the tools themselves. Webinars and eBooks are two examples that will attract people to your business and put money in your pocket as well. This kind of marketing is called attraction marketing. Use the same methods as written up in the two paragraphs above, be friendly and offer aid before you ask for money. Once you’ve gotten a persons trust and interest and they recognize you are not trying to just barge in asking for money, you can broach the subject of your business and get them on board.
In all three examples above, the main key is to make yourself into a person who will give as much or more than they get so that the lead trusts you before you attempt to sell something. Don’t pretend, actually be that way. If you have a good product, people who are treated in a helpful and friendly manner will begin to come to you for it and you will be successful.
