How to Generate Free Network Marketing Leads to Grow Your Business

What would be the best thing ever in network marking leads? Generate you own network marketing leads, without paying for them.

The old way of network marketing lead generation

Before the internet became so user friendly MLMers had many ways to generate leads. If someone had been successful in network marketing they had a big Rolodex of names they could call if they switched companies.

Most of us however did not have that advantage. So we tried to buy leads. I always heard the best leads were genealogy leads because these folks were already in network marketing. What a great choice they already know and love the business.

Well, I start calling these numbers and quickly started counting how many numbers I had dialed to only reach two or three people. 100 numbers, this has to be a bad list. Oh no, that’s how it works. I just did not have that much time in a day. This was not going to work for me.

Buy leads from the internet

This has become a huge industry on the internet. There are some companies that provide quality network marketing leads and some that provide lesser quality leads. As always in life, you get what you pay for.

These companies also provide services that range from training to calling leads for you. Some will give you scripts to read once you reach one of their leads on the phone. These scripts are provided to help you turn the warm leads into your downline.

My question is always; how many other folks have you sold these leads to. After all, you are a for profit company with expenses.

Hundreds of dollars can be spent buying network marketing leads. I think that’s one of the factors that contribute to the 95% failure rate of MLMers. They simply go broke before they establish their downlines.
