In today mlm training I would like to teach you about one of the mlm secrets called the internet!

Presented to you by Mentoring For Free

The internet is the best lead generation ever created. It will allow you to target your market and open the whole world for you. If you are not using the internet for your lead generation effort then you are still fighting with a sword in 2006!

Anyway, one of the major questions I get is: How to drive traffic to a website?

I have plenty of tips in the post archives

I will remind you about the basics: (Look for the details in the post archives)

1) Make sure you send your visitors to a Webpage where they have the option to get something for free so you will have to chance to contact them by phone and follow-up with them automatically through auto responders.

For example, when you visit my blog here I offer you a free e-book MLM Success in 10 Steps for this reason

2) There are two major ways of getting visitors to your website: Paid and Free.

It is going to cost you either money or time!

You have to judge which one do you have more?

What are the Free ways of getting visitors to your website or lead capture pages

-Forums: by visiting forums and getting involved in discussions, you are allowed to have your signature file. If you help other people and provide information then they want to know about you and they will visit your website.

-Visiting blogs and commenting on them: For example, if you comment on my blog you are allowed to have a link to your website and you can get some of my website visitors to check your website. You can visit multiple blogs easily and comment on the posts.

Go to blogsearch.google.com or to any other blog search engine and you will find plenty of blogs about your particular interest.

If you are commenting on my blog, you better have a nice comment

-Article writing: You can write articles about your product or your opportunity and post it in the article directories and send it to ezine publishers.

-Get a blog like this one and start writing your ideas about the products of your network marketing company or your opportunity. You can have one for free if you are short on money; there are plenty of places to make your free blog. Check www.blogger.com and www.wordpress.com

-Traffic exchanges such as traffic swarm and instant buzz: this will allow you to click on other people’s advertisements and you get credits and other people will see your advertisements.
Beware of all the spy wares though. Time wasting

All these methods will cost you time.

What are the paid ways of getting traffic and visitors to your mlm company or better to your lead capture page

Whenever you want to pay for advertisement, you have to do some math (sorry).

You have to put a budget, for example you are going to pay $30, if you get 10 leads and no one signs up then you never repeat this process again. If you pay $30 and you get 3 leads but highly motivated people, one signs up and you make more than $30. Then you repeat again and again.

That’s what you call Return on Investment. Repeat what makes money for you and stop what waste your money. (Make sense but most people waste their money on repeating advertisements that do not work!)

That’s called testing in marketing: sometimes you have to waste money till you find the best formula for you. Expect it to happen and if you can not live with this idea then use the free ways till you make some money that you can use for testing.

-Paid per click programs such as Google adwords, overture and other minor ones.
Paid per click advertisements are those advertisements on your right side that you see in search engines under the ’sponsored links’. Paid per click will allow you to bid on ‘keywords’ and the one who bid higher he gets his website higher on the search engines ads. This method will get you immediate traffic but may waste your money! Check Perry Marshall 5 free email lessons before you get into pay per click deals.

- Newsletters advertisements: You find ezine or newsletters about your topic of interest and you place an ad. You can use top sponsor ad or a solo ad. Before you pay any ad for any ezine, subscribe to it so you appreciate the quality and what type of people is reading it.
Again you test and evaluate!

-Press releases: You can make a press release about your products or your opportunity. There are free press releases but I found them ineffective personally. When you pay like $80 then you get significant exposure. One of the major press releases websites is www.prweb.com

What do I use personally right now?

I use a blog and article writing and this is how you arrived here
I used forums, blog commenting and traffic exchanges but it wasted too much of my time.

I hope these would help you generate your leads.
Get a lead capture page if your mlm company website sucks, most of them do, including my own network marketing company, lol.

Feel free to comment and give me your opinion.
