So, you want to build a Network Marketing List Online?
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!
You DESERVE Success!
P.S. Building a network marketing list is useless unless you know how to approach them so they end up asking YOU about your business.
Great advise Amy. I think a lot of people think building online is easier than offline. They both have their own set of challenges and both requires work.
Your suggestions about MLSP are right on the money. I wish I read this post a couple of years ago Amy, I would have saved a lot of time.
Is there a favorite training on MLSP that you have gone through?
Terry
Great post Amy! I agree with everything you said here. Patience is key with online marketing. can’t wait for tomorrow’s post.
This is a really great post Amy, it’s so important that people understand that no matter which road they choose (online or offline) that both require work.
I think all too often people come online and think it is the “answer to their prayers”.
Well it takes a ton of skill and time needed to really understand and conquer internet marketing to grow your business. Thanks for always keeping it real and “roaring” with a ton of value !
Thanks for sharing these tips Amy.
Amy, I got into marketing online because it’s easier to do at 2am after working my day J.O.B. than offline marketing methods (although there may be someone out there who might beg to differ…I suppose you can write newspaper ads at 2am. lol). Anyway, I have learned that it IS a lot of work, and there is such a huge learning curve. In my opinion, MLSP is like going to an Internet Marketing University. My hope though is that they never catch on and start charging us that much for the value they provide! Great post.
I’m hoping to become proficient in at least two of the marketing methods you mentioned: article marketing and FB PPC before moving on to something else. What are your favorite ways to market?

Great post, Amy! I’m glad you brought up the fact that online marketing is not instant success.. It takes time and effort, but the rewards are long-lasting. MLSP is a superb system! Keep up the great work.
There really are a ton of ways to build your list as you have shown. One of the best things I like about MLSP is that because it is all in one place, it is much easier to test them out and see what works best for you.
Hey Amy, I do agree with Terry’s comment. It does take time both ways to build a list each with it’s own set of challenges and benefits!
You laid this out very well Amy, there is no secret or magic button to push we still have to learn how to network with our prospects.
What you said about creating a warm market online is right on. Take on.
