Best MLM Leads

This page lists strategies and resources for generating the best mlm leads for your home business use.

1) Free Advertising - I offer two ways to receive FREE Advertising for your personal distributor web site:

First, you can post news about your company to my MLM-News-Blog. In your post you can include links to your website. Click here for details.

Second, if you contribute information about your company to the MLM Companies Wiki, you may include up to three (3) links to your website(s). Details and complete instructions are on the MLM Companies Wiki home page (which includes an explanation of what the heck a "wiki" is). Contributing to the MLM Companies Wiki is a great way to generate some of the best mlm leads for your business.

2) Your Own Web Site - Developing your own web site is a great way to generate some of the best mlm leads. You build credibility, establish your knowledge of a relevant subject matter related to your business, and site visitors become customers and/or distributors in your organization.

The best web site builder by far is SiteBuildIt for Business, which is what I used to build this web site. Among many other features, the SiteBuildIt.BIZ program put my web site #1 in all the major search engines, including Google, for my primary keyword search phrase, "best mlm opportunities."

A lot of do-it-yourself web site builders provide you only with hosting and simple web building tools. They charge the same as SiteBuildIt.BIZ but skimp on all the information and tools you need to ensure that potential customers or prospects will find your site when they use a search engine. There's a great comprehensive comparison chart that shows how the big companies take you for a ride with expensive add-ons, which are included in SiteBuildIt.BIZ for free.

3) Your Own Lead Capture Page - What is a "lead capture page?" It's simply one web page specifically designed to "capture" a lead, i.e., to encourage the visitor to complete a form requesting additional information about your opportunity. You've probably seen lead capture pages before--they are the ones that ask you to fill out a form after some enticing text about earning a living from home. You see them fairly often because they often attract the best mlm leads.

Lead Capture Pages are also often more cost effective than paying for leads. In a sense you become your own lead company because you are doing exactly the same thing as the companies that sell leads: You are advertising lead capture pages on the Internet.

There are three ways to create a lead capture page--assuming you aren't a webmaster already:

a) Many distributors attempt to create such pages using free or cheap one-page web sites and a rudimentary knowledge of web design. This is usually a mistake because the end product looks amateurish and turn off would-be customers or prospects.

b) You can hire a professional web designer, which might be a good option for those who can afford it (see below).

c) A third option is to use pre-designed lead capture pages. I know of one company that specializes in designing lead capture pages for network marketing distributors that offers relatively inexpensive pre-designed pages, often specific to your company. Although these pages have already been professionally designed and written (the copywriting is actually more important than the aesthetics of the design) you also have the opportunity to "tweak" the pages by adding, taking away, or modifying the existing text.

In addition, the company provides everything in one package:

• Web hosting (you have to have a company "host" the page on the Internet)

• Email autoresponder

• Statistics on the total number of visitors and the number who filled out your form

• Software to build forms (which automatically email you when a new prospect completes the form),

• Software to add audio to your site

• Well-designed, short video tutorials that teach you how to set up and effectively use your lead capture page.

The owner of the company is available for consulting if you want assistance with ad placement, pay-per-click advertising, and general Internet marketing strategies.

The company's basic membership costs only about $8 per month paid annually, which is remarkable since hosting alone costs that much at even the less expensive hosting companies. Go to the Lead Capture web site now. Become your own best mlm leads generator.

4) Traffic Exchanges - The idea with traffic exchanges (also called "hit exchanges" or "click exchanges") is that in return for viewing other people's web sites, they view yours. While traffic exchanges are often derided as a "waste of time," that's only true if you don't know how to use them.

Fortunately, well-written guides exist that explain how to effectively use traffic exchanges. One of my favorites is the Free Viral Advertising Report. It lists the top-rated exchanges and details how to maximize your advertising effectiveness on each exchange (since each one is different).

There's also an independent rating service that conducts detailed research on the traffic exchanges and ranks them. Check out the Top 25 Traffic Exchange List.

By the way, if you can advertise using traditional 468x60 banners, note that many of the traffic exchanges include banner advertising. The exchange with the highest CTR (Click Through Rate) for banners is WebmasterQuest. I highly recommend WebmasterQuest not only for its effective banner advertising but because it is a great overall exchange.



And here's another favorite, Magnify Traffic, which enables you to earn extra credits in a variety of different ways:



Adland Pro is another great resource. It includes a traffic exchange, banner ads, classified ads, community forum and much more. It is one of the best free advertising sources on the 'Net:
