18 Techniques to Build Your Network Marketing List aka Create MLM Leads for Your Business

• Technique #1 – Memory Jogger

A memory jogger is a tool to help you think of people that you know in your warm market beyond who comes to your mind naturally.  A good memory jogger will help you dig deep and beyond the obvious, and find people you know or have known in your life that might really want what you have and actually be great at it.  Perfect way to start building your network marketing list. [I’ve posted one at the bottom of this post for you to download and use if you like.]

• Technique #2 – Meetup.com

If you are not familiar with this site, go check it out immediately.  First of all, it’s free.  And, yes, it’s an online resource, BUT, it’s an online resource for meeting people OFFLINE.  This site has thousands of meetings in your local area on every possible topic, subject and commonality where you can find YOUR perfect prospect and connect LIVE.   How cool is that?  Here’s some great free training on how to use Meetup.com.

• Technique #3 – Call Realtor Signs

All those signs you pass by that have a house for sale in our neighborhood?  Well, they have a name and number on there and sometimes even a face of a person that’s a perfect prospect for any network marketing business – A Realtor.  They use the same skills that we do, are amazing networkers, and they’ve been hit hard by the economy…Perfect.  You are literally driving by names every day that you can call and add to your network marketing list.  If you really want to put this technique on steroids and build a massive business with endless great realtor leads, you can check out this free webinar by top trainer Todd Falcone has that tells you exactly how to do it here.

• Technique #4 –Referrals

I know that seems simple and you hear it all the time, but most people don’t do this and it’s a BIG mistake.  In fact, I recently sponsored a great real estate broker onto my team who brought 3 people onto her team in 5 days and guess what, she was a referral from someone in my warm market who said NO (FYI, I got him from using that memory jogger list).  How?  Because I asked.  Now, if you are like me and could never seem to get anyone to give you a name when you had the guts to ask, but are willing to ask again if you knew a better way check out this post I did on “How To Get Referrals Effortlessly After They’ve Said No”.

There are so many other ways to build your network marketing list offline that this post would be 20 pages long if I went into detail on them all here, so here’s a quick list of a few other ways to build your network and create endless amounts people to add to your network marketing list.

14 More Techniques To Build Your Network Marketing List

5.  Networking Events – Beyond meetup.com there are tons of networking events in your local area with people who are looking to network with you ON PURPOSE.  Check out your local Chamber of Commerce, BNI or other networking groups and go connect.

6.  Bandit Signs – My buddy Adam Chandler did a great training on exactly how this gets him 25 leads a day – You can watch it here.

7.  Drop Cards –  These are cards that look like money; you drop ‘em on the ground in high traffic areas.  When people pick them up and open them, it has your ad inside.

8.  Post It Notes – This is a great, practically free, strategy to get leads.  Stamp your ad on a post it not and stick ‘em in high traffic areas like gas pumps and ATMs.

9.  Flip a telemarketer who calls you – These folks are fearless when making calls and I guarantee they don’t make a fraction of what they could make if they knew about your network marketing business.

10.  Bulletin Boards – You see bulletin boards all the time with business cards on them.  Grab as many as you can and call them.  They actually put them there so people will call.  Give them what they want.

11.  Grab Biz Cards out of fish bowls – See bulletin boards above

12.  Hang Flyers – Do I need to explain this?

13.  Junk Mail – When people send you “junk mail”, they are actually business owners who are seeking out people to call them…great prospect!

14.  Give your product as a gift – If it’s a great product, people will ask you more about it.

15.  Business Card Contest Bowl – Ask local small businesses if you can put a fish bowl in their store to get business cards – give away a cool prize and people will put their business cards in there.  Call them!

16.  Magazine & Newspapers Ads – Self-explanatory

17.  Call Business Owners advertisements – See bulletin boards above

18.  Car Magnets – Yup, they do work.

Okay, that should give you a great running start to creating and expanding your warm market to build your network marketing list.  I dare you NOT to be successful if you truly employ some of those strategies.

In my last post Should You Make a Network Marketing List?…Or Is That Just Old School B.S.?, we discussed what the whole hoopla around making a network marketing list is and why you MUST have one.  Now the question is how.   There are two basic categories of list building — Online and Offline.  Today we will focus on how to build your network marketing list online, otherwise known as internet marketing or online network marketing.

First a caveat: If you think internet marketing is the be all and end all and it will free you from the old school “make your list” thing, think again.  Online network marketing IS nothing more than creating a warm market from scratch online instead of using an existing warm market offline and adding and expanding that list.  It’s just one of many ways to connect with people and create a network.

And now, back to our show…

There are so many different strategies to online network marketing to create MLM leads that it’s almost hard to list them all.  Here are some of the most popular ones.  I’ve grouped them into Free and Paid:

Free Online Network Marketing List Building Strategies:

• Facebook Marketing
• Twitter Marketing
• Linked In
• Forums
• Blogging
• Youtube/Video Marketing
• Article Marketing
• Free Classifieds

Paid Online Network Marketing List Building Strategies:

• Google Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
• Facebook PPC Ads
• Youtube PPC Ads
• Ezines/Solo Ads
• Banner Advertising
• Resume Database Advertising

If you choose to build a network marketing list online just know it takes time.

Learning how to do it RIGHT is like learning a language.  You don’t just run out and buy an Italian dictionary, read it and become fluent in Italian, right?  Same with online network marketing list building.  You learn it in layers.  First and foremost you must learn attraction marketing.  Understanding how to draw people to you who ask you about your business and ask you to join your team is powerful…and fun!

In order to build your MLM leads list using online network marketing, you must recognize that the second word in Network Marketing is MARKETING.  You must learn marketing.  Period.

The absolute best way I’ve ever seen to learn marketing online and to learn every single one of the strategies outlined above (and more) is with the #1 attraction marketing system on planet earth, My Lead System Pro.  Of course you can go out and learn all of those different strategies one at a time elsewhere, and get all the tools you’ll need here and there on the internet, but you’ll spend thousands of dollars and years of your life attempting it and you still won’t be able to get the value and training you’ll get with MLSP.

Remember though, this takes TIME…Have I said that?    So, if you want money in your pocket NOW, you will come back for  Part 3 in this series and learn how to create a warm market from scratch with people you haven’t even met yet and also to create a warm market list with people you DO know that you don’t realize you know… did you follow that?

Bottom line — every top earning Network Marketer has built their million dollar businesses with the strategies I’ll share in the next post “How To Build Your Network Marketing List Offline”…Be there!

Do I really need a Network Marketing LIST???

Okay, let’s break this down into bites.  In fact, once I started writing I realized that this information is really more than one blog post.  So, this will be the first in a 3-part series.  Make sure and come back for bite # 2 and bite #3.  In the meantime, let’s get started.

Bite #1:  “The Money is in the List” … Your network marketing List, that is.

Who hasn’t been slapped in the face with this quote?  So, why is the “money in the list”?  Well, let’s start with what makes up your network marketing list.  PEOPLE.  People make up your list.  Your Network Marketing business is a business of connecting with people.  In fact, this part is so important, it’s even in the title of our profession:  NETWORK marketing.  NETWORK.   A network of PEOPLE.  So, in order to connect and ultimately sponsor people and create customers, you must start with a list of people.

When I first learned attraction marketing, one of the first things I learned about a list is “Build a list.  Build a relationship with your list.  THEN, Monetize the list.   But, you know, in thinking about it right now, I realize that although those three steps are true, there’s really one missing.  It should be:  Build a list.  Build a relationship with your list.  QUALIFY your list.  Then Monetize your list.  In fact, I think that step is so important, it will be the entire subject of my next post after this series.  Stay tuned.

Back to the matter at hand.

You see how the monetization part comes last?

You can’t extract MONEY from your network marketing list if you don’t HAVE a list.

You can’t create money from a list if you don’t have a RELATIONSHIP with your list.  Getting money from your list means:  find people, connect with them and build a relationship, THEN you can see if they qualify and along comes the MONEY.

Ignoring the making of a list is somewhat like saying, you want to build a house.  You buy the beautiful, pristine, untouched plot of land.  Then you go out and buy curtains and try to hang them…But you forgot something…You forgot the foundation.  Oh, and the house.  You can’t hang curtains on an emply plot of land.  Your list is your foundation on which to build your business.

Now I know many of you are thinking…”Sure Amy, that’s great but just the thought of making a list gives me a queezy feeling in my stomach; I don’t even have a warm market, I don’t know anyone, the people I do know are total slugs and energy vampires, I’ve burnt my warm market with 11 other network marketing businesses, I live in a town of 312 people and they all hate network marketing, people run screaming when they see me coming, I’ve already called everyone on my list – now what?”

Does any of that sound familiar?  So, let’s get into it.  How do you build a network marketing list?   …Which brings me to Bite #2.

See you tomorrow for Part 2: Making a Network Marketing List ONLINE!
