As we discussed last time, getting prospects to your Network marketing opportunity is the lifeblood of your business. It is a numbers game – and those who get the most numbers, win. Traffic generation is a vital point in that process. Let’s discuss some other solutions to generating traffic to your opportunity.
Networking Swaps
In certain business networking circles, you are able to build a list of prospects and referrals even if you are in a different line of work. In reality, many business groups exist specifically for the networking. There are Business networking organizations like BNI (which is one of the biggest networking organization in the world) that are designed to facilitate this.
Of course, all this depends on the rapport and friendship between you and the other members. You certainly do not want to get involved and immediately start hammering people to join your gig. You need to build relationships first – and then share your opportunity. It’s the same strategy as social networking online.
Online Prospecting
In today’s marketplace, getting prospects can be an easy and automated. You still have to take massive action and follow-up with any leads you acquire, but the fact is you can build a strong prospecting funnel without spending a lot of money.
There are many ways you can acquire prospects online without spending a fortune on Google AdWords, or other ppc advertising. On the Network Marketing Traffic website, we have discussed multiple ways to generate traffic to your opportunity. “Virtual Prospecting” can be an excellent income building system, but you must understand some basic strategies. We’ll discuss a few here to round out this post, but you should also look over the site for a more indebth discussion of many of these methods.
You can drop by people’s blogs, go to forums or build a mailing list of prospects in order to build relationships and meet new people.
Social networking sites like MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, MyBlogLog, twitter, and many other sites are a great place to meet new people with similar interests and make friends with them.
You must be very careful of one thing, NEVER, NEVER EVER SPAM forums, blog comments or other people’s email. It is a very quick way to get a bad reputation or banned from those forums.
