We all know that generating leads is the life blood of our MLM businesses, even though this is one of the biggest struggles for most network marketers.  The purpose of this article is to give you a better understanding when it comes to using the Internet to generate leads for your MLM business on complete auto-pilot..

When it comes to the ‘old school’ offline marketing techniques like chasing friends & family, passing out flyer’s, cold calling, etc… they are a little outdated.  With all of the new technology available to us today on the Internet, if you are not generating leads and marketing online you will be left behind!  We are going to discuss some online lead generation methods in this article and how you can start putting them into action to generate daily leads for your MLM business.  The methods we will be discussing today are all 100% Free to use.

Lets start by talking about Social Media techniques.  Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace  are some of the most popular sites on the Internet.  Using social media, if done correctly, can really take your lead generation to the next level.  If you go around just spamming people your opportunity, then they will obviously not work.  Here is the trick… this applies to all three of the sites mentioned above.  You want to work on building followers by networking with people that are already in the MLM industry.  For Twitter you’re going to want to start sending out some tweets about general stuff, nothing related to your business.  Even just a tweet about how you are that day is fine.  Don’t put your link in every tweet.  Get readers interested in your tweets before you sell to them.  Be sure to continue to make your tweets honest and general and only tweet business related every other day or so – Use this same concept for Facebook and Myspace too.  Be sure to add general post and actually get involved with people… comments and things like that.  Remember one very important thing:  Give value.  Don’t just talk about your opportunity and try to sell people.  Make yourself stand out as a leader and offer true value that other people can benefit from.  If done right, you can generate leads DAILY through social media.

The next strategy I’m going to discuss is Article Marketing.   Article Marketing is one of the most effective techniques you can use, however very few network marketers actually use this technique.  The reason is because it’s a little more involved, and take some time but his is by far the best FREE lead generation method on the Internet.  The concept of article marketing is simple… you write original articles that are relative to your niche market, you take those articles and submit them to as many other related blogs and article directories as possible creating quality back links to your site.  When done properly, article marketing can be an incredible way to generate fresh leads for your business.  This is simple, tried and true.  Simply put, this is a must for generating qualified leads for your MLM business using the Internet.

The last technique I’m going to discuss is Video Marketing.  Using video marketing is very similar to the article marketing approach.  Essentially, you want to apply the same general concept as with articles.  You create you videos using the same guidelines as article marketing, but instead of submitting your videos to blogs and article directories, you submit them to video sharing sites.  Video marketing can work great especially because it is so personal which can attract more people to you.   A very effective technique is too use the two together by promoting your articles with videos.  This is  a way to combine article and video marketing to maximize your exposure and generate consistent daily lead flow for your MLM business using these two techniques.

MLM lead generation online is actually not that complicated when you poses the right tools & training.  If you take the time to learn these strategies and apply them into your business, you will explode your lead generation.
