Thousands and thousands of savvy network marketers are now looking to the internet for generating network marketing leads. Those of you without a large advertising budget should absolutely be taking advantage of high ranking internet sites like Squidoo , Facebook, Myspace and Youtube. Most times, using these methods will not cost you anything, except time and effort.
For example, on Squidoo, you can create your own page, called a lense. Do some research for good keyword phrases in your industry, using Google's keyword tool, and start writing some content about network marketing, your specific company or some helpful tips. Squidoo will run Google ads on your page and for every person who clicks on an ad on your page you get a percentage of the revenues. More importantly, if you do the content correctly, you may get your page on the top ten organic listings in Google, Yahoo and other prominent search engines.
Encourage visitors and friends to drop by and rate your lense. Popularity helps a lot.
You can use Squidoo to sell your own products, promote your branded personal site or recommend products. If you have an eBay store or a Cafepress shop, then you can use Squidoo to get buyers. All you have to do is create a lens related to your online stores theme and add the eBay items that you wish to sell.
You might also create another income stream on Squidoo by promoting their affiliate program. You have to create your own account and get your own referral link. When people sign up under your affiliate link and their lense earns them their first $15, both you and that person will get an extra $5 in your accounts.
Another great site is Facebook. If you already have a business you can talk about it, learn other things about it from other people and advertise your business for free by making people visit your page. In my experience, Facebook seems to attract plenty of adult, business-minded people from all around the world. The account set up is fairly straightforward and simple, so it is a good place for social site beginners, in my opinion. nnnnYoutube videos are very exciting as a way to brand yourself and your network marketing business. Just make a video on a topic that other networkers will find helpful or informative. Don't forget to add the link to your web site and maybe your business telephone number. This is a powerful Attraction Marketing tool. When people see you and relate to you, they will want to work with you. Keep in mind, you do not even have to make your own video. Youtube allows you to use videos that have already been uploaded by other people. So just create a site about what topic you want and add the video code related to your topic.
Finally, there is Myspace. This internet community has millions and millions of visitors each and every day. There is no direct promotion allowed, or you will find that your site gets pulled down. Implement AdSense and offer space for advertising. Webmasters for all sorts of domains will be interested to have a link on a high-traffic profile. If yours is successful and brings those webmasters visitors, you may collect fees. The biggest key is getting friends...and LOTS of them. There are several good software programs and informational courses available to show you the specifics. MySpace is very effective for some people but it must be done correctly.
So that's a quick overview of how to use Squidoo, Facebook, Youtube and MySpace to generate network marketing leads. If you don't know where to begin, I suggest choosing just one of these ideas and implementing it. As you become comfortable, you can add the others to your marketing mix. Be patient with yourself. Your rewards will come in time.
