How To Get Free Leads

Many network marketers whom I know actually pay for leads. As we are fully aware, without leads who are converted into prospects and finally into customers or business partners, a business cannot survive. Thus in order to boost their sales and profits, many resort to buying targeted leads in terms of sex, age, income, interest, etc... and this can be a costly campaign. Although this is an easy and popular way to get traffic to your website, if you are willing to put in some time and effort, you will be able to effectively get free MLM leads.

FREE??? And how, might you ask, is that possible?

In this day and age of the internet, we need not resort to the obsolete lead generating methods that were used in the 70s and 80s when free leads meant making friends with strangers at parties, networking events and motivational seminars. If you have never heard of free leads before today or have had problems trying to get these free mlm leads, let me share with you my top recommendations in getting these free mlm leads.

If you would like to find an effective way to build your list of leads who will turn into your prospects, you need to take full advantage of the internet and what it has to offer. This will help you generate a long list of qualified leads for your home based business. Basically, these leads are your leads and if you build a strong relationship with them, they will follow you even if you move on to other opportunities. The more value you offer them, the longer they will stay with you, the more willing they will be to listen to you and the easier they will part with their hard earned cash when you have a great suggestion or exciting opportunity for them.

Here are some of my recommendations showing you how you can generate your own list of your very own free leads:-

- Create a blog
A blog is basically a diary that you maintain. The exception being that it is published on a website and available for all to see if you so desire. If you niche is mlm, then start an mlm blog and become an expert authority in your field. Brand yourself on the internet as people basically follow leaders. Nobody wants to follow 'a follower'.

- Participate in forums
Again, the idea is to brand yourself and this is a good way of getting to know many people and making more friends. If you are in the mlm industry, then join the many mlm forums and contribute to the discussions that abound. Just remember not to spam. This is another good alternative to generating free leads.

- Make use of social networking media
Social networking platforms like Facebook and MySpace are some of the most visited sites on the internet with millions of visitors every single day. If you are able to tap into the massive traffic there and start an MLM community, you will always have free mlm leads pouring into your sales funnel.

- Article Marketing
No matter the niche you are in, if you can deliver attention grabbing and traffic pulling articles, you will be able to generate lots of free leads. You can drive traffic from article directories. Article marketing is also a great way to tap on the traffic from search engines as they tend to rank very well on Google.
