There are a plethora of different methods of online lead generation for network marketers. Leads, after all, are the backbone of any network marketing business. Without a constant stream of quality, pre-qualified prospects coming to your virtual door, you’re never going to build your business. Lead generation strategies vary, and you may have to test out a few methods until you find the one(s) that work best for you. However, to get you started, here are some of the top methods of online lead generation for network marketers, as well as one particular method that you should NOT use.

Creating your own landing page with a contact capture form is one of the best ways to acquire leads. You’ll just place a short form on your page that asks for your visitors’ names and email addresses. This information will then go into your auto responder, and you can send the new prospect information via email, since the person will have agreed to receive this information. Of course, you can’t just ask for contact information without giving something in return. You should be offering extraordinary information on your website that the visitor has to “register” to see, or giving away an ebook or report that requires contact information for you to send it.

Today on the internet there are so many people wanting your email address that you must offer your visitors something valuable for them to sign up for your newletter. One of the best ways I have seen this done is to write a short ebook or a “special report”, which can consist of 4-10 pages of information related to what the visitor came to your site for. You can even hire someone to write it for you if you have the budget to do it.

A good way to get subscribers to you email list is to offer a report or an ebook with some valuable information in it, that they receive if they opt in to you email newletter. This is very effective and is a must in today’s online market if you intend on building a list of customers.

You can also partner with another network marketer to exchange leads, or to barter for access to the leads of the other marketer by providing that marketer with a service that’s beneficial to his business. The beauty of the internet is that you can do all of this online over email or through instant messaging, so the person you trade with can be literally anywhere in the world.

One thing you should NOT do is buy leads. Leads that you purchase are often of very poor quality, and usually out of date. It may sound great to be able to buy hundreds of thousands of names for just a few dollars, but it’s definitely not worth it. You’ll just end up wasting valuable resources in the long run.

One of the problems with buying leads from lead companies is that other network marketers will be sold the same list. So you won’t be the only ones calling them, maybe you will be the first or the fifth. Some program promote buying lists because they also have a downline and pay you for your referrals. That doesn’t make the list any better quality.

The Internet has made it possible for nearly anyone to achieve success as a network marketer. It’s not like the old days when you had to go approach strangers in the grocery store and annoy your family and friends with sales pitches. Today, you can find interested, qualified prospects anywhere in the world. Using the best techniques of online lead generation for network marketers, you should have no trouble taking your business to the next level of success.
