One thing that every network marketer needs is leads for his or her business, and learning to generate free leads online could mean the difference between profit and failure.

If you are a marketer with any kind of business, new leads are the lifeblood of your business. You need to get people to your site, or through your door to make a sale.

It is obvious that business owners can pay for leads. They can actually buy them form a list vendor, or pay for advertising to generate the leads themselves. What many network marketers do not realize, is that getting free leads on the internet is easier than any other media.

One thing that can be done to get free leads is to write articles and place them in blogs and article directories. Another is to make videos and place them on any number of distribution sites. (YouTube is the largest.)

Network marketers can also generate leads for their MLM businesses by developing friends and followers on social media sites like Twitter, Face Book and MySpace.

For each of these options, different approaches are needed. It’s a great idea to get marketing training before diving in and wasting your time. Training can be as simple as searching online for various topics, or signing up for online courses, e-books. Some marketing systems come complete with excellent marketing training which can be used to generate leads for any MLM or business. One such system is PrimaryBusinesses.Net.

Many people have built sales and MLM/network marketing businesses completely by generating free leads online. They simply have learned how to market online, and then they implemented a marketing plan by taking massive action.

Twitter-Blindness Running Rampant

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Something is happening among my Twitter followers which is a bit more than upsetting.  I think the majority of them are going blind!  Of the past 1000 or so new followers who I contacted asking if they knew any good one line jokes, not a single one replied!  Not only that, almost all of them sent me a link to some sort of commercial message!

What opened my eyes to the seriousness of this situation is that a few of them sent messages which exactly matched what the others sent, links and all.

I think it is time to contact the Center for Disease Control, because these poor Twits are going blind.  There’s no other explanation I can think of.  They might still be able to see their keyboards, but some are obviously trying to hide their shortcomings by copying and pasting other people’s messages.  It’s sad and pathetic.

We who can still see need to raise awareness of this problem.  Send this message back to those whom you think may be going blind:

Stop it Before You Go Twitter-Blind!

And here’s something for those of you whose eyes are failing.  Copy this line and save it in a folder you can find easily on those days when your keyboard is darkest.  Then send it.

Help Stamp Out Twitter Blindness.

Social Media Marketing. Do I Have To?

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

The question is often “What is social media marketing all about, and do I have to go on MySpace, and do I have to make videos, and Twitter or whatever?”

The answer to all that is that it really helps if you do!

If you can get in front of a video camera, if you can get outside of your comfort zone and do that, you may find that it helps you immensely. It helps people get to know you a lot better.

There are several things you’ll have to do for marketing, to get your business up and going, and maybe being on Twitter and on FaceBook a couple of hours a day or maybe an hour a day might really take care of that for you.

The thing is—not to go overboard with it, unless it’s your only option. I use social media marketing as an adjunct to other kinds of marketing. It’s not my total focus, but I use it quite a bit and it has helped my business. You may choose to make social media marketing your main focus, as some marketers have done. They have become very successful at it.

Social media marketing is all about getting out there in front of people and engaging them in conversations and trying to get to know people as best you can.  Basically this kind of marketing is called “network marketing,” and the way to network online is to let people know about you!

Twitter: Full of Rabid Hungry Salespeople?

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

A few months ago I opened a twitter account due to peer pressure. I don’t like text messaging except for business, and thought that Twitter was a silly waste of time. But every marketer I admire was waxing poetic about how great Twitter is, and that MySpace was passé, and FaceBook was clunky. Click to continue »
