Communicating to your real time leads how passionate you are about your MLM of choice is crucial. In order to be persuasive and gain their trust you need to have your heart in the business. But how do you find a MLM that you can truly be passionate about and enjoy promoting on a day to day basis?

Well, research is a biggie, but finding an MLM that will match your personality is the most important factor. You need to be able to get along with those in your company so finding an MLM that is comprised of likeminded individuals will be key.

Go where your heart leads you  and choose an MLM that makes sense with who you are. Do you feel passionately about the environment? Health and wellness? There are MLM’s to suit every individual and there is a surprising array of businesses out there form Christian to all mom groups.

Think about the features and the selling points that you are drawn to when choosing an MLM – if you can get into the mindset of someone who is shopping around then you will be able to understand firsthand what your leads are looking for when you call them to promote your business.

Once you have decided on a company that will fit your life and who you are, commit to this choice and stick with it for the long run! TAKE YOUR TIME CHOOSING! The worst thing that you can do in MLM is jump around from opportunity to opportunity.

Building a long history with a company is a much wiser financial decision and it shows your dedication to what you put your mind too as well as your passion for your company.

Good leads can be expensive, real time local leads, or exclusive leads can set you back hundreds. Unless you sell with passion and belief, it’s very difficult to get others to invest in you or your opportunity.

Ever thought you could generate a network marketing lead while playing around on Facebook? Looking for old high school pals is fun, so why not do your business a favor while you’re at it. It may come as a surprise, but more and more MLM pros are using social media to increase their business and recruit new members. Facebook has definitely shown a lot of us that our warm market is bigger than we ever imagined!

Network marketing lead generation through social media is a great way to bring in prospects while keeping to a budget. With myspace, youtube, facebook, blogs and other social media sites, you can get information about your great opportunity out to hundreds and thousands of people who may become fascinated by you and your story and approach you for more information!

You don’t need much, and I’m willing to guess you probably already have a facebook or myspace account, so use it do draw some interest from the people that you know or are simply acquainted with. Get your business and your story out there!

What makes the biggest impact? Video is really the best way to get your message out. People like to sit back and listen rather than read and video gives you a chance to make a warm and welcoming impression- which can be MUCH harder to do through text.

Having a good lead source is critical because you need to set time each day to make calls, but building a network through social media can help to support your business and it gives you some great places to direct your leads to! Your lead may not have time to talk, but you can always send them the link to your blog, befriend them on facebook or have them check out your myspace page.

Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose. Social media marketing is free and fun! Having a large network of followers and friends also shows your leads that you’re legit and others believe in you.

All business opportunity leads started out as people just like yourself. Many folks who are new to the MLM world over look one very big asset that they have access too at all times- you! Whether you’re starting out, or you have years of experience under your belt, you have a distinct advantage: your very own and unique viewpoint and your story.

Have you ever been inspired by another person? Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes. Maybe you were inspired by a picture in a magazine to change your home décor, or your hair style. Maybe inspirations effect was much bigger than that – maybe you were inspired to have children, or to take off and move to another city. Let’s face it, we take what we like from others and we incorporate it into our lives in mostly subtle but occasionally drastic ways.

By thinking about your life you can teach other people and you can relate your experiences to them and to your network marketing business. Although everyone has a story, there is another part to telling it, voice. To develop your voice and to become comfortable communicating your thoughts and your personal experience- set aside time each day to learn about MLM, the industry itself and how it works.

Knowing how MLM operates and knowing how to use the terminology and lingo will help you to speak and write more easily. Documenting your journey through MLM and in creating your own MLM business using a blog or Twitter will help others who are breaking into MLM, such as your leads, to look up to you. After all, you are, hopefully, just a few steps and a few experiences ahead of them.

If these leads or visitors are able to gain something from your story, then they will continue to invest their time and their trust in you. Inexperience in the industry does not mean that you are not interesting to others, or that you’re story will not appeal to them.

Think of all the movies, books and sitcoms that start out with our main character in a new town, new job, new relationship! We as people are fascinated by change and beginning. It is exciting and scary, and fun but safe to indulge in change as an observer. Any weary business opportunity lead will start out this way.

Home based business leads are a cornerstone of any successful MLM businesses and learning how to reach your leads through email is an ESSENTIAL lesson to get under your belt early in the game! Email marketing can be completely overwhelming, but it’s very possible to make this task much easier to manage when you think of it in terms of steps.

The Planning Phase

Remember back to our previous article on copy writing tips. When a lead comes to your site they want to know immediately that they can find on your page what they are looking for!  In the planning stage of your email campaign, you need to consider what the client is looking for.

Brainstorm on this – why did they reach your site, what kind of salutations are the looking for? Financial solutions, stability, freedom from commuting, scheduling? Consider all that they may be looking for.

In the planning stage before you email your home based business leads, consider the following as well:

Will you use a template or create your own messages?

Will you use text messages or HTML emails?

Using email marketing soft ware will be essential if you’re dealing with a big list, auto responders – as they are referred to, will assist you to simply set up email campaigns and protect yourself from unwanted SPAM complaints.

Before you hit send, make sure your campaign is personalized. Include your name and your prospect’s name.  Nothing feels more impersonal than being addresses as “MLM Prospect” or “Potential Millionaire”, these are people just like you, they  will respond better to being called by their names. Include your name, email and always your website!

Perhaps the most important tip is to provide value in your emails! No one is going to read  a second message if they aren’t getting something from it, be that information, a good laugh, a compelling story – this is up to you to choose and to test!

Decide what info you can give and how you can deliver what the visitor was looking for when they filled out the form on the lead generation site, or on your own sales page.

The truth is that the best MLM Leads are not always sold to you from a lead vendor. No matter how good that lead vendor is!

In my last article I talked about using powerful copy to get through to the dream lead that is interested in your opportunity and practically generates itself through your sales page. This time I want to get into the fundamentals of good copy, the copy that you will use 24/7 to draw in additional leads without having to work for them! And in this case you won’t have to buy MLM leads.

When creating your lead generating sales page, it’s important to remember that speaking to someone on the internet is different than talking to someone in other mediums. When you see an ad on TV, in the newspaper or on the radio –the ad is a break or an interruption from another task that view has chosen to take part it, like reading an article.

The internet is a whole different story! You get to most pages through a link that you’ve saved, or through a search on the net, meaning that you have sought out the information you’ve reached.

This fact is crucial to remember when you’re writing for your visitor – they have come to you through their actions!

Why is this so important? As soon as your visitor lands on your page they’re going to be asking themselves one question – Is this the right place to find what I’m looking for? Can I complete my task here? Think about it – this is like walking into a corner store looking for light bulbs – you look around the shop and think – “hmmm, can I get what I’m looking for here?”

THIS is the time to tell them YES! with your headline. You’re headline should cause the reaction “YES! This is exactly what I need!” If your headline does not product this response, then your visitor is gone.

The best part about having a great sales page written is that you can send your Peak leads and any prospects that you come across to view it. We all know that some folks are better than others at having a phone conversation – some people simply are not comfortable on the phone or don’t want to open themselves up to future calls until they know what it is that you’re promoting, a great sales page lets you sell them without speaking to them on the phone.

That being said there are other tricks to think about aside from the headline. Another key factor is focus! Your sales page, the headline, images, layout should all serve one function, directing the visitor to action – the action that you are specifically hoping for is to fill out their name, email and number.

Start with a fantastic headline that reassures the visitor “Yes! This is where I want to be” and end with a bang as well. Use a movie or a song as an example! Start out strong to gain attention and finish with your best material – give it a blockbuster headline and a show stopping finish.

With these tools and considerations under your belt, take a look at the material that you have. Examine it critically – does it follow these rules of good copy? If not, you may not have to pitch it all out, but think about  how you can really make it shine and rise above all that other MLM copy out there!
