So now you have learned ways to generate leads at no cost, and a way that can be low cost. But buying leads, social media, and blogging is not the end of the road. You must put this tip into action and master it. This can be useful, for some it will become an empire of lead generating.
It's email. As a matter of fact, when you first begin your business in MLM you must automatically begin creating your list of emails. You need a list and you need to manage it well. Keep bad emails out, and new emails in. You should be able to get several emails everyday for this technique. It is simple to get someone's email.
First thing I will discuss is how to gather up emails. If you use the paid leads, well there's a lot of email addresses that willingly gave you their email addresses. You can find business cards laying around with emails on them. These people want their email to the public, and their number, so go ahead, take it and put it in your lists. I would. Whenever you speak to someone, get their email and tell them you would like to send them some information on ways to make money using the internet. You also can buy email leads for real low costs. This may actually be a good thing if you have an email that is packed with value.
There are several ways you will be finding emails and receiving them. Be sure you keep up with everyone and have a list or folder that each email fits in. You don't want to put a interested prospects email in with a blind lead. Or vice versa. Keep them separated in a category, and create each category it's own email.
You need to get an auto responder that can run your email campaign. Let's face it. Free email addresses can't do fancy emails with all the videos, surveys, colors, and send emails out automatically on time, all in one. Auto responders ( AR ) can simplify the process and make your emails seem much more professional. That's what you want anyway, professional emails. A prospect will seem to believe in you more when they see you are a big successful marketer. And that's exactly what the AR is going to make you appear as.
Be sure that the emails catch or grab the person's interest. Use content, value, and maybe throw in a contest, survey, or something to get the person involved. If you get them involved in your email campaigns, people don't direct you to spam or delete your emails. The creation and content of the email is very crucial to pull this off. That is why an AR is needed if you are going to take email campaigns seriously.
I suggest that you use http://goo.gl/kkmPR AWeber. It is extremely more professional than most ARs and is much less in price. You can also become an affiliate with AWeber, so that is even more reason to use them. That is why you became a marketer. All successful marketers have multiple streams of income. Multiple. You will hear me say that a lot. http://goo.gl/kkmPR
Bottom line is that email marketing has been the one of the oldest if not the oldest form of marketing used for internet. The strange thing is that many companies still use this as a powerful way to generate revenue, and it hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. However you must take in consideration the tips I shared, keep content and value to your emails. Use engaging type material such as surveys, videos, contests, giveaways, etc. Keep each contact in its appropriate folder. Of course, last but not least, use an AR that is professional and can make you look like a rockstar of marketing http://goo.gl/kkmPR
Hope this helps and has caused you to consider using email as a source to generate prospects. Remember that an email is already a lead. But, emails can bring out the leads that are ready and willing to be customers or business partners; without having to call them or prospect them to find out! Until next time, work hard!

Ways To Get Leads For Your MLM Business Tip #3
So paid leads, of course is a definite. Then social media with some hard work is a way to get good quality leads. So now I will write about the third way and like social media, generates quality leads. It is blogging. Just the exact thing I am doing right now. It works. It works well. As a matter of fact it has a great advantage over most every other lead source available. Once it's online it stays online forever.
If you are thinking that you have nothing important to write about, your wrong. If you think you have no value to share, or good content to express, your wrong again. Everyone has something to give value on. It can be a blog on a book you wrote. A blog about how you handled a prospect, in some weird situation. Everyone can contribute some sort of good value and content. You just have to dig deep inside and find it.
Once you realize you have several topics and lots of great content to share with the world you are ready to begin blogging. Find a site that can assist you with a blog. I use Google as you can tell. It is a free site, and has everything I possibly need to operate a blog. I don't need any high cost blog just yet, because I simply just don't need it. If you wish to use a paid blog site, there's nothing wrong with that either. You only need to be able to write a blog, and the most important part is taken care of.
Once you have found a good site to write a blog on, it's time to begin blogging on it. Depending on the MLM business you are in may determine a lot on what topics you will discuss. You may want to blog on a specific product, or about the opportunity. Whatever it is, just make sure you put it in your own words, and show your personality through it. People can almost get to know you through your blog alone. Which also makes you into a leader, someone people will want to do business with. Someone who may possibly take them far in the business with you as their coach. There are many advantages about blogging, and a great example of blogging is a man mentored me. He has written blogs years, and gets about 30 leads or more everyday and makes affiliate sales on blogs he wrote years ago.
The reason is because the content will stay published online forever and ever. As long as people are searching for the content you provide than a blog you write today can make you a lead or a sale in a year from today. Blogging is also great to get your opinion, ideas, and even get your product online for someone to read about. With what I have just explained alone is a reason to be blogging. Don't let yourself be your worst enemy and talk you out of it. You need it, and if you are a new marketer, you can do it free.
Have fun with blogging, and make sure you get great value and content online. If you can help someone with a problem they are facing, or give advice to someone, they will thank you and follow you. Sometimes things that seem so easy or understandable to you, may be exactly what your reader or subscriber is looking for.

Ways To Get Leads For Your MLM Business Tip #2
So you need more than just one way to get leads right? I explained some on the ups and downs of paid leads. They are good to keep business moving, but you must focus on generating the leads yourself. When you have mastered lead generation you begin saving money from not having to buy leads, and when you generate them yourself the quality of the lead is much better.
I want to focus on social media. Social media is a leader on the internet when it comes to traffic. There is a ton of traffic on the social media sites, so you need to take advantage of this and turn the traffic into leads. Leads are what matter. Remember that you can have traffic all day long, and does no good without converting the traffic into leads.
Now Facebook is the largest of all the social media sites. You need to master it by creating a fanpage, or business page to brand yourself as a leader. Facebook offers PPC ( pay per click) and post promotions. You can set a daily budget as low as $5 and you will not pay over that amount. This can help bring in leads very fast if used correctly. You do not however, want to use a personal page to try and make sales all day with hundreds of posts. This can drive your friends into blocking you. If you want to learn from the most successful person using facebook, watch this video on Facebook lead generation http://goo.gl/IZUUT
Twitter is behind Facebook in members and is a excellent way to drive traffic to your site of choice. Twitter has been the most powerful for me personally, and should not be disregarded. On Twitter you send out "tweets" which are phrases usually a sentence or two long. Make sure your tweets have value or good content and people will interact with your tweets. A large following on Twitter is important. Only those who follow can read your tweets so build a large following. Twitter must be a consistent habit and use the right steps on every follower. First you want to direct message your followers and leave a thank you, and a link to what it is you are wanting them to take a look at. Don't over message people, Twitter is not like Facebook, most followers aren't friends. After messaging them, follow back and they mostly will appreciate that. Make sure you post at least 20 to 30 tweets a day that contain good content and value. Of course this much attention can take much of your time away and take hours a day to maintain. However it still is important you keep it maintained. The perfect way to run a successful twitter campaign is to use an automation tool. The best tool for Twitter by far is http://goo.gl/acPNR This can have you running multiple Twitter profiles all on auto pilot saving you the time. It does all the work, follows, follows back, messages, tweets, and much more. It is a must for any serious marketer. Also here is a great training video on how to use Twitter like a professional marketer should http://goo.gl/ncAX0
LinkedIn is another site you must be a member in if you are going to take your career seriously. LinkedIn is the "white collar" social media site, and it's basically putting a resume on public view. When you become a member of LinkedIn you must keep in mind a few details that will make it much easier to get connections. You must use a photo on LinkedIn. Make the photo a business style or your most professional looking picture. You don't want a pic of you getting drunk or hanging with friends for this site. People do read your profile. So the profile needs to be as professional as possible. If you want to make the most out of LinkedIn you need to register with the MLSP which is the greatest training you will find as a marketer. To look into MLSP simply visit http://goo.gl/8gOfu
Google+ is a fast growing social media site that should be looked into. What's great about Google+ is you can do just as I am writing blogs and sharing it directly on Google+. They are connected in many ways and are a great tool to reach people who you have interests in.
Pinterest is another hot growing site. It is a pin board where you can pin ideas and pictures. It is mostly a woman followed site, so be sure you put a feminine touch to it! You can repin other peoples pins, follow the ones you like, and make several pinboards. Some people are finding huge success in Pinterest so don't overlook it or think it can't help.
Instagram is a site that focuses on pictures. It is a visual site. It too works very similar to the other social media sites, with it's own special touch. I'm sure it will be a very popular site soon, so get on it soon and be a master at it.
Of course there is the video social media of Youtube. This can be an extremely strong way to generate leads. It's video marketing, and video marketing gets you noticed fast. It also helps the viewer sort of "get to know you" and builds a trust in your viewer. If you master video marketing you will see hundreds of leads a week. So that is something to consider. Here is a video to help you master video marketing much faster http://goo.gl/yjpLI
There are a ton of social media sites you can become a member at and use to generate leads and drive traffic to your websites. Be sure you take one at a time and get the hang of it before jumping into another. Take one technique in lead generation, and get to where you get a few leads everyday before adding a new technique to it. Social media is a great tool to use, and what makes it even better is that it is free. Another great place for a beginner to begin at in lead generation.
Be sure you get well educated on working each individual site. If you are looking to create a 6 or 7 figure career in network marketing you must be well educated in the industry. I highly recommend you watch the videos from the links I supplied. You will get much value from it, and learn skills that can turn your business into what you have dreamed of! Work hard, smart, and have fun with it. You will get stressed out here and there, but that will happen to us all.
These were just a few of the top sites on the internet. If you decide to look into others it's fine, just make sure you can fit your business into it. If you want more in depth details of working social media look into http://goo.gl/8gOfu This will sharpen your recruiting skills, lead generation skills, and make you a master of every social media site, SEO, keyword research, and prospecting. No MLM business owner should be without the knowledge MLSP brings.

Ways To Get Leads For Your MLM Business Tip #1
Leads are the backbone of all MLM businesses. I will discuss the methods I use and have used in the past, to tell you which ones worked and the ones to stay away from. When I joined my first MLM I was put into a network where you were taught a one way system and was never taught anything outside of their designed system. Which led me to go out and explore my own ways, and some I learned the hard way.
The topic I want to examine first is paid leads. Why paid leads? Anyone can get paid leads. There are many companies that will sale leads to you. And many companies that will sale the same leads you bought to me too!
What is a paid lead? A paid lead is where you buy the information of a person who usually has opted into a capture page set out by the lead company. Paid leads can vary with what information that comes with the lead. The more information you can get on a lead is better. Name, number, email, address, city, state, etc. There are usually packages you can buy that vary with certain details. Such as email leads, which are the least expensive. It's only an email address and more than likely a name too. You can these by the thousands and are great if you have an auto-responder.
Now you know the idea of what a paid lead is, let's first look at the down side of leads. Like I mentioned more than one person has bought the name and the lead may receive several calls from many other MLM or business opportunities. Meaning the lead can be burned out before you even get them on the phone. The lead can also be given an incentive to fill the capture page out. So they may not even care or want to have a home business, just the money for becoming a lead. Be sure when you look for leads to buy online you keep up with how the leads respond and the ratio of what percentage are actually interested. This may be the sign of never purchasing from the same company again.
However the up side of paid leads are worth mentioning. It is great prospect practice, and it is a way to get your business moving instead of waiting on a new family member to ask. You can make a conversion off of a paid lead.
The ratio of paid leads should be around 3-5% if you are doing it well. If you can get at least those results, you are not doing that bad. You need to consider how much you paid for them, and how much your return is. Not all lead companies are good. Many care nothing if you get a return or not. So do a lot of research if you decide to use this method.
I have known many marketers who use only paid leads and have become very successful with them. They are not afraid of rejection, and paid leads will be mostly rejections. Remember you are just scouting through the contacts and looking for the right people. Many will not be the right one.
You need to have a routine with paid leads. You first should call the leads. Make a note if this number is a cell phone or a landline. It's easy to tell by the answering service, and you will get a lot of those! Be sure you have a good message to leave the prospect. Some will call back, most won't. If your message sounds unprofessional, don't expect any of them to call you back. After you have called and left messages, next you need to send a text message to all the cell numbers that were on the list. This will get a few responses back as well. Many people will never answer the phone, but will reply to a text. Afterwards be sure a nice email loaded with value and content is sent to all the leads. Video inside the email is great, and be sure there is a link to a presentation or a site that the prospect can get the right information from.
You need to call the leads again who did not respond to any form of communication. You will begin to locate more and more of them. Be sure you call them with your number showing on caller ID and with it blocked. Make a goal to call the leads a few times each day until you reach them or until it has became a dead end. If you get any disconnected numbers be sure to keep all the information on the lead (email, address, phone, etc) and quickly have the lead replaced if the seller has agreed to replace bad leads. If the lead seller has replaced it, you still have the info to keep searching the lead.You can search online for a new number to reach the prospect at. Usually www.anywho.com or other phone related sites can be used to locate a correct number on the lead. That is where all the address information can come in handy.
Pursue the leads with aggression. Do not be afraid, and have your material created before you purchase the leads. Have a message that makes them call back, an email that excites them, and be sure you make them see that you can be a mentor who they can believe in.
Paid leads take more time than generated leads. But when you are new to the game it can be a way to find a few recruits, all the while you are building your presence online. When your new you more than likely have more time than money, so it is an option to consider.
I have only used a couple of lead companies. National Leads has been the company of my choice. I can buy leads that are interviewed prior to me calling, and they have great deals often where you can double your order for same price. They have many affordable leads and many different styles such as female only, weight loss, surveyed, local, etc.
When you begin to generate your own leads you may not want to spend time with paid leads. There are no promises when buying paid leads. Just remember if you can pull 3-5% you aren't doing bad at all. If you do higher than it would be only wise to keep buying from the same company. Have fun with it, and stay consistent. Have a routine like I explained, and don't fall out. Hope this helped if you were already looking at buying leads or if you are new. Thanks for reading.

How Do I Build A Network Business On A Tight Budget?
If you are low on money or have no money, that doesn't mean you can't grow a business. As a matter of fact, I have seen many times those who are broke do better. People who have plenty of money may operate a MLM business as a hobby and not a business. Of course the one who needs it the most will have the most hunger.
The way to grow a business on a low budget or flat broke is quick, hard work. Use what is free, your mouth. Tell everyone you meet, and remember a few things when you speak to prospects. Always ask everyone if they know someone else who may be good for the job. A referral. Never leave a conversation without getting or trying to get a referral. You need to find ways to reach a large amount of people on the least amount of money possible. That is always great to grow a business and make more profit.
Flyers are not the greatest way to advertise. However they can be very strong if done correctly. If you make them with great value to them, and have a message people can relate to, they will work. A key to making flyers become worth it is to put a symbol or a logo of your own in clear view on the flyer. Something they will see and remember. The reason for that is so when they see your flyer again in another town, they will connect it to the last place they saw it. You need flyers to be everywhere, on everything. Also use the same message that is on the flyer, on a business card and you can get the message of your business out even more. It will not work if you put out just a few in one town or city. When I say they need to be everywhere I mean by the tens of thousands.
Once people have seen your message in every town and city they begin to see you are a giant. Just that way alone helps a lot. You may notice when you speak to a stranger about the business, they will quickly say they know who you are because they seen your flyer. I've had that experience a few times.
So now you are talking to people, hanging flyers, still have not invested a large amount of money yet. So where do you go to find new people to present the business to? Some ideas would be places of public service. Fire stations, Police stations, court houses, etc. Possibly malls and strip malls can be a great place to leave business cards and interact with new faces.
Events are a serious opportunity to find and grow your business. To attend an event and have a booth may be out of your budget. But if it is not than that is where you should put the money you have. If you can't operate a booth for the event, attend it anyway. It can be a great place to pick up new prospects and pass out business cards. Keep an eye for booths that are other network marketers. If you see one that has a network marketer like you, watch for the people who are interested in the booth. When they leave, approach them and talk with them about yours. They may like your product better, or see you as a better leader.
Anywhere you go and anyone you speak with be sure to grab their business card too. Handing yours out may be good, but getting theirs is great. You can later give them a call and have them take a look at your presentation. Be sure your presentation is in a video format, with a link that you can email the prospect. It's important that you do not go too far into the opportunity about your business. Just get them to agree to watch the video, and follow up with them.
Social Media is a great way as well. Learn how to use every site and work as many as you possibly can. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc. These can work well when you master them.
Let's not forget home parties. Some people become great with these. Always when having a party be sure you don't end the party without having another party booked. It can become a great way with expanding your business, and people having a great time will only help ease them into deciding to join you.
Anyone who is serious about learning more about networking should consider becoming a member of MLSP. It is the greatest way to learn the ropes from the ones who have mastered it themselves. They have great webinars on different topics nearly everyday. It will expand your knowledge and help you grow as a master in networking. It will teach you about lead generation, and all the topics I discussed. If you have a constant flow of leads than you will succeed in this business. You will learn detailed information an each social media site, prospecting tricks, how to generate leads online and offline, and much more. If you are dead serious about getting somewhere I highly recommend you watch this video and become a member. http://jayecarden.mysponsoringsecrets.com/
Whatever you do in your business is up to you. Be sure you study the industry and learn the ups and downs of it. When it is not possible to be generating leads or working leads, you need to be learning more about how to grow. There is a lot of work ahead of you if you are new. It can be fun for sure, and a learning experience. Have fun with it, and check into the link above and see for yourself how it can change your life completely!
The way to grow a business on a low budget or flat broke is quick, hard work. Use what is free, your mouth. Tell everyone you meet, and remember a few things when you speak to prospects. Always ask everyone if they know someone else who may be good for the job. A referral. Never leave a conversation without getting or trying to get a referral. You need to find ways to reach a large amount of people on the least amount of money possible. That is always great to grow a business and make more profit.
Flyers are not the greatest way to advertise. However they can be very strong if done correctly. If you make them with great value to them, and have a message people can relate to, they will work. A key to making flyers become worth it is to put a symbol or a logo of your own in clear view on the flyer. Something they will see and remember. The reason for that is so when they see your flyer again in another town, they will connect it to the last place they saw it. You need flyers to be everywhere, on everything. Also use the same message that is on the flyer, on a business card and you can get the message of your business out even more. It will not work if you put out just a few in one town or city.

Do I Have To Be A Salesman?
How many times have you heard these phrases when talking to a prospect about your business?.. " Well I can't sale anything... Do I have to talk to people?... I'm not a salesman... is this a pyramid scheme?.... Do I have to buy anything to work?... I don't have any money".... and of course there's more but those are some of the top remarks that all MLM people here. Those are the remarks that can destroy a persons dreams they had when they first joined the business. Or were you that person who asked those questions because you were afraid, or hoping that there would be little work involved?
Point being, you must be a salesman to make it in MLM. Let's face it, you are "selling" a product, and a big part of it is selling you. Instead of thinking you can never get anywhere because you don't contain the knowledge of how to be a salesman, or saleswoman, than why not learn? It's simple. Just learn the skills you need to succeed. No matter what profession you get yourself into, you must learn the skills of the trade right? So learn to be what it takes and become a great sales person.
Selling the product is really a small part of the business. Selling yourself as a leader is even more important. Most people don't even look at what the product is they must sell, they look at who is the person that's going to show them the way to the top of the industry.
You joined an MLM to be successful right? So learn what it takes. It's no different than any other trade, you learn the methods and skills it takes. Being a master of knowledge with the product you have is a great tip on being good at selling the product. Learn every detail about the product, such as it's history, how it's made, made from, and facts that can make a person see it as a need rather than a want. You can never know too much about what you are selling.
More tips on making yourself a good salesman is your character. Make yourself fit the role. Look the role. Talk the role. Find your target audience. There is a certain type person who is perfect for the product you sell. They need it or want it. Don't sell ketchup to a tomato. Sell ice water in the desert. Those are very crucial in being a great sales leader. You need to speak with authority, and when people hear you talk they need to feel the confidence you have. If you don't have confidence than you must learn how to get it. Being knowledgeable about your product is a great way to gain confidence.
People will try to slam you indeed when there are witnesses around. If you are a rookie, you may want to try it one on one at first until the confidence builds up. If you ever get faced with the smart elect when in a group of people, be sure you don't show offense to his remarks. Act like it's nothing to be offended by. Just make a remark back, and keep on. Don't tuck your tail and run.
Selling yourself is the greatest way to achieve success in MLM. When you grow a team of thousands you won't have a problem recruiting anymore, but right now, you need to get some people. The greatest way I personally believe, is you do start with friends and family. You may actually get one or two to join you. Maybe some can be just a customer if not a business partner. The rest may laugh and say your wasting your time, but you will be back to ask again when the money is looking great!
Strangers are the best way to get your business moving. They don't know your past. They don't know you, so if you carry yourself correctly, they can believe you have already made it. They are easier to get onboard indeed than a family member. So why do most people not even approach a stranger? Because they believe they are not salesmen. Don't be that person. This is a business of talking to new people everyday. You need to talk to new faces daily, and you will see a quick rise in your business.
So my basic point is don't let your opinion of yourself destroy you. Change your opinion about yourself and learn. And learn how to respond when people asks the questions you read at the beginning of this blog. That is another topic of it's own! Have fun with your business. And keep learning, keep talking, and keep thinking positive and you will make it for sure.

Mind Games
Your mind can be your best friend, or it can be your worst enemy. It tells you how to live, what way to view things, can even lie to you and make you believe it. It is the most important part of being the person you desire to be. If you let it, it can also be what keeps you from reaching your desired goals.
In my industry of network marketing, the mindset we are taught, is what makes one person succeed and the other person fail. If you keep a positive mind and outlook nothing can stop your success. That is just the way it is, and is completely true. Positive thinkers achieve way more success than those who give up when a challenge is brought to them. Sometimes things seem overwhelming and impossible to beat. So do you give up? Do you believe there is no way because of the problem? Or do you control your mindset and figure out a way to go around the problem and achieve what you originally planned on?
Those who have a positive mindset can do anything and accomplish anything. They believe it is meant to be and will stop at nothing to get it. While those who let mind games destroy their focus find themselves back in depression and believing they can do nothing to change their lives.
Don't let thoughts of rejection or comments and insults bring you down. Don't listen or even consider those comments as possible or true. Once you begin to believe the insults, or believe everyone will reject you, your confidence begins to crumble. That is mind games at it's worse.
Instead, try what I do. And believe me I have heard my share of ugly comments. I use those as a tool for more desire, or more of the fire that is inside of a person when they want to achieve a goal. It gives me a reason even more to wake up early and go to bed late, and work every second of the day. Just so I can put those words back into the mouths of those who used them to stop me.
So the secret is out of the bag. If you think in your mind and truly believe that you will make it to where it is you want to go, your already heading there. You just now need to see it. When you have a positive mind and outlook on things, it begins to attract everything into your life that is positive. The people who you meet will be the ones you need. You are already on your way there. So keep moving ahead and working harder, and remember the most important part...don't let the mind games send you the wrong way!
