Does Buying MLM Leads work?

Yes! Buying MLM Leads works like a charm...

...for the people selling the leads to you!

Here's a priceless principle to go by in the Network Marketing industry:  If your upline sponsor tells you to buy leads, the ONLY course of action is to run as quickly as you can as far as you can and save yourself from financial disaster.

Countless MLM distributors are losing their shirt right now buying worthless MLM leads on the advice of their sponsor who is making fat commissions on those leads.  More often than not the sponsor even owns the lead company selling the leads.

Just the other day I met a gentleman who joined an MLM company and as soon as he joined they convinced him to get on a $1,500 a month lead program.  Can you imagine spending that much money for MLM leads that you have no idea where and how they are generated?  The gentleman called 100 leads per day for five days a week for over four months with dismal results and a lot poorer.  It is very sad that people get drawn into such schemes.

People get sucked into buying leads because they are looking for a shortcut; they want to make all the money in the world yesterday.  They don't realize that by looking for shortcuts they are really taking the long road to success.

When you purchase leads, it is a requirement for you to be a salesman and 90% of the population is not good in sales.  In addition, most people hate salespeople.

Let's continue with our MLM leads discussion.

A constant flow of fresh MLM leads is key for any MLM business.  However, there is no reason to buy the leads.  The best leads you will ever get are those generated with your own efforts.  The leads are exclusive to you and you know exactly how you got them.  Moreover, if your lead generation system is good, most of these leads will be calling YOU before you call them.

Can you imagine people calling you and asking you about your business?  You are now the hunted instead of the hunter.  This is the exact situation you want to be in when building an MLM business online.  This is called attraction marketing.

That's not to say that you should not call your leads.  Network Marketing is a relationship business and you cannot avoid talking to people.  But when you have a good system, some will call you and most will already know you and will be happy to hear from you.

So how in the world do you get people to call you?

It's all about having the right lead generation system complemented with the right team.  The MLM system that you choose should work for everyone who uses it and should be designed to teach the system.  Personal development should be a big part of the system.  MLM being a relationship business the more you know yourself the better you will be able to relate to your prospects.  The system should also brand YOU and not your MLM Company.

Whatever you do, do not promote your MLM company's replicated website but instead promote yourself and you will never be stuck in buying MLM leads again.

Best Places To Generate Fresh MLM Leads Online

Your online MLM network marketing business will only thrive to the degree that you are able to generate fresh MLM leads online.

There are so many ways to generate fresh mlm leads online (do not buy mlm leads!), that most people get overwhelmed by the multitude of choices and don't know where to begin.  And when they do start, they don't focus on a single marketing method but instead dilute their efforts by using too many methods at the same time.  It is important to focus and master one method before going to the next.  Otherwise, you become a jack of all trades and a master of none.

It is very easy to find out the top 3 ways you can use to generate your own fresh MLM leads.  All you have to do is visit alexa.com where you will find the  list of the top 500 sites in the entire world.  Alexa.com has a tab named "Top sites" and when you click the tab you will be presented with the list of top sites.  You can narrow the results by specific country or by specific category.




If you want fresh MLM leads, you want to concentrate your MLM marketing efforts in places that people gather en masse.  The alexa.com "Top sites" list will tell you where those places are.

Right now, here are the top 3 global sites according to alexa.com and you should pick any of these to generate your fresh MLM leads:



So now that you know the top 3 sites in the world, all you have to do is pick one where you will advertise then learn everything you can about that site and you're on your way.

Let's say you decide that you want to generate fresh MLM leads using google.com.  You could advertise using Google Adwords but this is an advanced marketing method better suited to experienced network marketers.

The simpler method would be to start a free blogger.com blog.  You then start posting articles to your blog using keywords related to mlm network marketing.  It is very important that you target mlm specific keywords that people are actually typing into google.

In addition, you can write useful MLM articles and submit them to the top article directories to drive traffic to your blog.  If done correctly you should get targeted traffic coming to your blog within 30 days or less.  If you're persistent at it, which is also key, you will slowly build a considerable amount of backlinks from the articles that will help your blog rank well in the search engines.

As a side note, I highly recommend you download and install the Alexa Toolbar to your browser.  You will have very useful information on every website you visit.




Okay, fast forward to a few months later. You're now an expert at keyword research, blogging, article marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), just to name a few.  You are getting lots of targeted MLM leads traffic from the search engines for free and hopefully you are converting that traffic into fresh MLM leads every day.  At this point, your blog will continue to get traffic with little effort from your part and it will keep generating leads for you.

You could now explore the possibility of expanding your expertise to facebook.com  to generate your MLM leads.  Same principle applies here, master facebook before going to the next method.

If you follow these simple principles, you will become a master in generating your own fresh MLM leads and consequently your MLM business will reach new heights.
