For sure, the major attraction to the mlm network marketing industry is the ability to make significant money. When done right, it allows you to make not just an immediate cash flow but substantial long-term residual income, too.

In our industry, the income streams can come from the monthly billings of either customers or business partners. Over the years, our team’s mlm training has focused on teaching our business partners to enroll a mix of both business-builders and customers to maximize their immediate and long-term income.

Another big attraction to MLM is its reputation for quality products or services at competitive prices. You should be the very first customer in your MLM network marketing business. Here are the 3 major reasons why:

To enjoy the benefits of a better product or service. If you do not truly feel that your product or service is a better value than anything else on the market, you are in the wrong business. You need a strong belief to be successful in our industry. I won’t even waste my time mentoring a team member who does not have a strong belief in what we do.

Accrue points to promote to the next level of achievement in your company. I will be the first to tell business partners that buying their own product or service ONLY for the points is flat out lazy. In our initial mlm training, we teach our team to sell the service and build a strong customer base. However, earning points from your own purchases is another great reward.

Develop your own personal story and credibility. Prospects and new business partners alike will look to you for an example of what to do. It will be very difficult to expect them to use your product or service if you don’t use it yourself. Plus, having personal stories of experiences you have had with your product or service make great recruiting presentations.

Build your network marketing business the right way. The initial step in your MLM training should be to become your own first mlm customer.

Many people in the network marketing industry still rely on working offline in their local and warm market or following old school business-building methods like purchasing mlm leads.

However, with all the buzz in recent years about attraction marketing and the desire to build a business in a quicker and easier manner, an increasing number of network marketers are looking for online ways to generate mlm leads.

In its simplest form, the technique to generate online leads is to put up a website or landing page, drive traffic to it, and get a percentage of visitors to opt in by leaving their contact information. Increasing web site traffic is a major topic in itself and is covered in a separate article. The other important part of lead generation is increasing the percentage of visitors who opt in once you get them to your site. This is called conversion.

Here are the 9 major strategies we teach our team members to increase conversion at their website or landing page. Successful conversion all starts with effective website design. You must design the website or landing page to do just one thing and do it well..get the maximum percentage of traffic to opt in.

1. Your page must have a clean design, be fast loading, easy to read, and deliver the information the visitor is expecting to see.

2. Do not include links pointing off to other pages. Avoid using flashing images and other distractions.

3. As in any marketing, you still must use compelling headlines and body copy. Face it, just getting a prospect to opt in is a form of selling!

4. Lead the prospect by the hand and make it clear what they need to do. For example, tell them to enter their first name and email address in the box below.

5. Make it clear what the prospect will get for opting in. People are increasingly reluctant to give out their personal information. Let them know you have what they are looking for.

6. Do not ask for any unnecessary information on the opt in form. The less information you request, the higher your conversion rate will usually be.

7. Include a bonus for opting in.

8. Maintain and display a clear No-spam policy.

9. Continually test different versions of your website or landing page. That is the only way to really know what delivers the best results.

Increasing the percentage of visitors who do opt in is just as important as increasing traffic to your website or landing page. Learn how to increase conversion on your website or landing page and you will generate more mlm leads.

The recent economy has left millions of Americans out of work and many million others working fewer hours per week than they would like to. On top of that, many people are now working jobs at a lower pay rate than they are used to.

As a result, many millions are feeling their standard of living shrink. They are giving up not only luxuries, but necessities also. Many families have taken in their parents or adult children because they can no longer survive on their own.

Job security is a thing of the past. I have lost track of how many top-quality people, used to earning a significant income, have responded to my marketing in recent months, searching for another option.

More and more Americans are searching for another source of income. People ask me all the time if MLM or network marketing is a viable alternative for job seekers. My answer is always the same…Most definitely!

Here are the main reasons starting an MLM business makes sense to job seekers.

MLM or network marketing is a proven home based business model. It has provided a dream lifestyle of both financial and time freedom to many people around the world who never would have achieved it by working a traditional job.

Top-notch training is readily available. The person who introduces you to the business has a financial interest in your success. The network marketing industry is based on teamwork and taking pleasure in seeing the next person have success.

Start-up costs are low. MLM is the one way people with limited finances and without previous business background can generate a substantial income working a very part-time schedule in a business of their own.

By combining the right training and marketing system with diligent effort, new networkers can create income quickly and build long-term residual income, too.

Yes, MLM or network marketing is a viable alternative for job seekers.

One of the challenges in network marketing is having enough good prospects looking at your business each day. What we call our warm market, those people we know and come in contact with, can be one of the most effective ways to grow a business. However, many networkers, especially those new to the industry are unwilling to make a list of friends and neighbors to approach.

There are a number of companies that generate mlm leads and sell them to networkers. I have found lead quality to be an issue with most purchased leads. Disappointing results can come from purchased leads being overused, older than expected, or prospects who are not even interested in network marketing. Furthermore, for networkers on a limited budget, buying leads may not even be an option, even if they can find a reliable source.

We have had far better success training our team to generate their own quality mlm leads. New networkers do not have the time or money to experiment. We teach proven methods that are quick and easy to implement. Here are three free marketing methods you can use to generate a steady flow of top-notch mlm leads.

Free Online Classified Advertising. While there are a large number of Internet websites offering free classifieds, I have had consistent results with only two, Craigslist and Backpage. They are fairly similar, and provide a large number of categories for ads in a large number of cities. Both require ads to be of proper content and placed in the appropriate category.

Article Marketing. This has proven to be one of my favorite and most effective marketing strategies. You write informative articles on topics that you are considered an expert on, and then submit them to article directories. Each article includes a resource box which has links to your website or blog. It’s a great way to generate excellent mlm leads.

Video Marketing. You can make your own videos with a webcam or simple video camera. You can even brand a video with your web address or phone number. Then you submit your video to video sharing sites such as YouTube. YouTube is rapidly becoming one of the most popular sites on the Internet. Video is a great way to establish a relationship with prospects and drive traffic to your website.

Don’t let a lack of contacts slow your business down. Consistently implement these free marketing methods and you can generate a steady flow of quality mlm leads.

Few things will have more impact on your success in network marketing than the team you join and the mlm sponsor you work with. Over the years I have found that choosing the right mlm sponsor is a more important decision than even the choice of the business itself. Equally important to choosing the right sponsor is building a relationship with him or her and earning as much of the sponsor’s time and support as possible.

One of the challenges for all leaders in our industry is knowing which team members to spend their time with. Identifying the right business partners will cut down on wasted time and lead to better duplication of the team’s system and an increase in overall business volume.

Here are the qualities we teach our business partners to look for that indicate that a team member is worthy of more of your time. You can use these as a guideline to help earn more of your sponsor’s time.

Show yourself to be a motivated leader or future leader from day one in your new business.
Complete each step of your new business partner training and report your progress to your sponsor.
Show yourself to be a self-starter who does not require a lot of hand-holding.
Develop clear goals and share them with your sponsor.
Show a desire to do whatever it takes to be successful in network marketing.
Try to solve problems or answer questions yourself before asking for help.
Demonstrate that you are coachable by following the team’s system.
Enroll new business partners on a regular basis
Attend all training webinars, conference calls, and events.
And most importantly, ask for help when you really need it.

A good sponsor wants to help you succeed. Take the time to learn how to earn more support from your sponsor. Those who work closely with a good mlm sponsor have a far greater chance of huge success in mlm network marketing.
