Without enough leads for the your business, the otherwise rewarding network marketing industry can be a difficult place to be.
What are the two primary needs shared by all network marketers? More cash and more leads. Well, there are many free marketing tactics you can implement to get more prospects for your business.
One thing that it is important to remember about these methods is that they can be a bit more time consuming than some of the alternatives that come with higher price tags. Generally speaking, a given marketing strategy needs either time or money to be successful, and needing less of one usually means needing more of the other.
What Are Some Marketing techniques You Can Use To GetFree MLM Leads?
Article Marketing
You can write, right? One free method that can serve as a lasting source of leads is article marketing. Here are three vital things to think about when considering article marketing as a marketing technique for your business.
1. What keywords are you going to write about?
2. Where are you posting this article?
3. How are you going to syndicate your content?
Ultimately, to get the most out of article marketing, you can't just throw an article up wherever and hope that people read it. Planning ahead by answering the questions above will assist ensure that you're getting the most out of the time you invest in this tactic!
Video Marketing
Videos can be an extremely effective technique of promoting your business, but just like article marketing, if you do not know what you're doing before you get started, you'll just be wasting your time. There's more to video marketing than throwing a small number videos of yourself up on YouTube and hoping people find them - but thats exactly how lots of marketers approach this strategy. If that is what you're doing, or planning to do, you're leaving some huge cash behind!
Forum Marketing
Forums can be a good spot to meet people, particularly one of your hottest target markets: other network marketers. It is vital though, that you do not join forums and just pitch your business. That is the quickest way to ruin your reputation on that forum.
Before engaging in forum marketing, make sure you have these guidelines firmly in mind:
1. Don't try and sell people on your business opportunity.
2. Take a moment to fill out whatever information you can on your profile. It helps people see you as a real person, and as such have faith in you more.
3. Do add an avatar if allowed.
4. Do join the conversation and contribute value.
5. Leave your links in your signature.
6. Make sure you use your signature file to link to personally branded blogs or capture pages - folks are on forums are generally interested in YOU, not your generic company page.
7. Realize that this requires time and effort. Patience and consistency are essential.
8. Join forums that are active and get a good quantity of traffic.
Social Media Marketing
Social media is HUGE. Sites like Twitter and Facebook (and many others) can offer substantial prospects for your business, if you go about it the appropriate way. Just like forums, don't make it a habit of pitching everyone you meet on your business. Establish relationships!
Visualize meeting someone for the very first time, and as soon as they've introduced themselves they start pushing some services or products on you. How likely do you think you'd be to continue talking to that person, much less do business with them? I'm guessing the answer is not very likely at all.
So, why do people do this on social media sites? Meet people, build relationships with them and again, provide value. Building these relationships fosters trust and respect with the people you meet online. As those relationships mature, your friends will seek you out for more information on what you do and how you do it - because they've already benefited from the value you've given them, they will naturally want more. Just don't send them to a generic company page here. These folks have an interest in YOU, and that's what they want more of!
From here you should be able to build a solid foundation for your marketing going forward! Just keep in mind these important points:
1. Patience and consistent effort are the keys to success with these tactics.
2. Attempting to master multiple marketing methods at the same time can be stressful and exhausting, so get good at one method at a time, implementing the others gradually as you develop each skill.
If you try to tackle them all at once, it will be overwhelming. It's better to devote more time to less tactics, than less time to more methods. Once you master each method, you can add a new one into your marketing plan!
Okay...time to go get marketing! Good Luck :)
