I used this tip to generate 7 leads in just 5 minutes of work.
Here is another great tip on using facebook to market your opportunity. This applies especially when you are targeting home business owners and in particular network marketers. You obviously are not going to hard sell them into your current company. Other networkers are won over to another company not because of a product or comp plan, but because of leaders that they build a relationship and feel that they offer enough value to warrant the change. Don’t get me wrong, the product and the comp plan play a role in the decision, but primarily we’ll be won over by the prospects of working with a leader.
Therefore, the best thing you can do is create a system that provides value to other networkers by teaching them how to prospect, recruit and generate leads. Then without being pushy offering them the opportunity to click on a link at the bottom of your email with a description, etc. If you provide enough value to them they will be attracted to you and the company that you are in.
Here are the steps you need to take to have value to offer.
1. Read books and go through training courses. Read them again and again and apply them again and again. Become an expert on something. It isn’t hard to do.
2. Offer the knowledge and value that you have acquired without any cost. Help as many people as you can without expecting anything in return.
3. Via auto-responder, a website, newsletter, etc. very carefully give them the opportunity to click on a link for your primary business. Add the link to your signature line with a promotional statement or put a link on your website.
One great way to do this is through Facebook groups. Here are the steps to take to build a substantial group.
1. Build a Friend list of likeminded home business owners of 500 to 2000.
2. Start a generic home business training group and invite each of them to join it.
3. 2 to 5 times a week post valuable information on it. Include a link somewhere to your website that gives them the opportunity to look deeper. Include a link to your generic industry training blog that then has a link to your primary business on it.

Below is the article in its entirety.
“Mike, At last–a voice of reason rising above the babble! I’ve been using these methods in the brick-and-mortar business world for years, and they work like magic! In fact, I work as a business growth consultant, helping people implement these concepts. However, when I talk to my upline (Quixtar) about integrating these strategies and tactics into my MLM business, you can almost see them reaching for the garlic necklaces and crosses to ward off such “evil thoughts!” How do you recommend that I go about finding a reputable company that won’t frown on (or outright forbid, as Quixtar does with many of these methods) these concepts?” - Dave That’s a great question Dave and I’m so glad to know that you already understand the power found in the strategies of Magnetic Sponsoring. It’s becoming harder and harder to advertise as a distributor in network marketing and that trend will only continue to grow in the coming years. Companies find themselves between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, they understand the importance of advertising, and want you to do as much as possible. Believe me… There’s nothing they’d like to see more than a market flooded with distributor placed ads promoting their products and opportunity. On the other hand, they’re handcuffed by attorney’s who are more than aware of the FTC sharks who are constantly circling, just waiting for someone to screw up so they can dive in for the feast. As the legal risks continue to rise, the more strict parent companies must get with their advertising policies. This is an inevitable outcome. Think about it… 95% of distributors in a network marketing company have no real experience as a business owner or professional advertiser. They have no idea what’s within the law and what’s not. Income Disclaimer? Terms Of Use? Privacy Policies? What are those? So you take an eager group of people with ZERO education and little sense of personal liability, and you let them loose onto the biggest communications platform in the history of mankind… The Internet. People end up placing stupid ads, and making insane claims, all in the name of their beloved parent company. The Gov shows up a few weeks later, knocks on their door, and says “clean up your act or we’ll shut you down”. And just like that, the ability for distributors to use advertisements with any information about the parent company at all is taken away. You can’t blame corporate. They’re just doing what they must in order to stay in business. This will only get worse and it’s a shame. Personally, I can’t stand government intervention into a capitalist market. They walk into a market under the excuse of protecting the “ignorant consumer” from the evil savvy marketers. “Your testimonials are too persuasive which caused Mary to spend her last $50 on your product and now she can’t pay her cable bill. You need to remove those testimonials and replace them with something stale, boring, and un-compelling”. Excuse my 3rd grade verbiage here, but that’s retarded. America is quickly becoming a country where no one takes personal responsibility for anything in their lives. If there’s a problem, you go crying to the government who will gladly take your side in exchange for a vote, or a hefty donation during election time. The weak whine the loudest, which is heard by the politicians who just want to keep their job, so policies are changed to cater to the whiners which means that this entire country is slowly turning into one big pile of finger-pointing meat puppets who cry for their bottle until the someone else sticks it in their mouth for them. Can you tell I’m a little jaded by this trend? So as far as your network marketing business is concerned, what are you going to do about it? Well that’s the million-dollar question isn’t it? I have to be honest. There is no right or wrong answer. You will define your own solution depending upon your personal views and opinions. I found mine two years ago, and though I’m probably biased, I believe it to be the strongest. Why? Well in less than two years it allowed me to go from waiting tables to “millionaire” by the age of 29, and it is the only solution that is completely immune to any and all market changes. It is, in a word… “Timeless”. And it’s very simple really… You don’t just build an MLM or network marketing opportunity because there’s no real value or equity there. I hope you realize that. When you build a business opportunity, you’re not building a real business at all because you don’t own any part of it. You don’t own the product. You don’t own the company, and you don’t own your downline. You are an independent distributor that can be let go at the owner’s discretion. Building a business opportunity is fine, but it shouldn’t “BE” your business. It should only be a part of your business. It needs to be focused and centered around you and your name…. What I like to call, “You Inc”, because the equity you build in your name, your reputation, and your relationships is priceless because it can never be taken away from you. When you build a following of people, and a business around “you” instead of your company, your income will never be at the mercy of other distributors, market changes, competition, or company owners again. That’s the key to dealing with the growing limitations when it comes to advertising your company. You don’t advertise IT… You advertise YOU. Sponsoring distributors becomes effortless, building a downline can be done in days, and making $10,000, $20,000, or even $100,000 in a single day is as simple as writing an email. Now this strategy is straight-forward, but I found that 99% of homes business owners lacked the simple skills necessary to actually execute the marketing methods necessary to build a “You Inc” centered business. For example… · How do you generate leads online? · There are over 6 different types of leads you can generate. Which types should you pursue? · How do you market your business to them? · How do you market your product to them? · How to you get them to pursue you? · How do you monetize them if they don’t join your business? · Do you email them, call them, or mail a letter? How often? · How do you automate this process? · What should your emails, calls, or letters say? What should the headline be? · What should you ask them to do next? · How long should you keep in touch with them? You see, the ironic part about all of this is that in the end, we’re in an industry of marketing and promotion, pursued by people who have no idea how to market or promote… Especially online. Marketing is the life-blood of your business, but do you know HOW you’re going to keep marketing even when your company says you can’t use their name in your ads or websites any more? If that day hasn’t come for you yet, it will soon. Learning how to implement an effective “You Inc” based marketing campaign effectively online is not optional anymore. It’s required. Until you know how to market online, you don’t have a business, you have a dream. I realized this years ago and was fortunate enough to learn these simple skills from some of the best online marketers in the world and two very good friends of mine, Tim Erway and Tom Bell. Tom actually owned an MLM lead company for a few years, and by this point, all of us had built at least one significant downline. We knew for a fact that the button wearing, flier-posting days of the 90’s were over. The Internet age was here, and we didn’t hesitate to take advantage of it. Over the course of a year, we combined our skills to come up with what we now call, “The MLM Traffic Formula”, which has become THE definitive guide to building a successful “You Inc” centered home based business in the internet age. I’m not going to sit here today and try to sell it to you, but if you’ve been on my list for any amount of time, you’ve surely heard of it. Tim used the Formula to sponsor 1,732 reps in 31 days. Tom used it to make over $11,000,000 in five years. And I used it to generate 9,817 free leads in one month. The Traffic Formula allowed us to dominate the competition at will. It was pure power and the MLM industry became our playground. So what is it? Well it’s actually made of three different pieces or “phases”… Phase I is about building a 7-figure business that’s immune to attrition and competition by building a “You Inc” based business. If you want to learn how to market when your company doesn’t allow it, this is how it’s done… Phase II is about generating massive online traffic using blogs, Google Adwords, search engines, articles, press-releases, and CPA networks - And then turn that traffic into live, exclusive leads for you and your business. Phase III is about monetizing your leads and the 95% of your prospects who said, “no”, to your opportunity. I’ve used this strategy to make well over $1,000,000/yr in addition to the money made from my primary program. In the end, it amounts to a complete step-by-step system that allows anyone who uses it to: 1: Generate endless leads online.??2: Produce instant cash-flow.??3: And build a time-less, work-at-home empire that was completely protected against market changes, “no advertising” policies, company break-downs, downline attrition, and even competition. So Dave, you’re right… Distributors are faced with some big challenges these days, but we’ve been able to successfully adapt to them using The Formula.
There are many different ways to generate leads on the internet, but most people do not know the secret to doing so. So what do most networkers do? They purchase them from lead brokers who resell each lead several times at a decreasing rate for how fresh each one is. This method can be costly and range anywhere from $50 to $500 a month, maybe even more depending on how many leads you purchase and what type of leads they are.
For those who are on a budget, which most of you are, when you start out in your networking business you need something less costly that you can duplicate each month and that you can teach your team to do as well.
Thankfully there are dozens of ways to generate leads for absolutely free online. I want to talk about three of them today.
You can use article marketing in many different ways. You are going to need to learn how to write a good article. The best way to do that is to start reading good articles. The more you do so the better you will get at writing them.
You can post your articles on many different sites. Here are a few;
You can write a short “classified” ad and post it under any city and then under “small biz ads.” If you make multiple postings you will need to make sure your ad varies each time. You do not need to go in and set up an account.
You can basically take your articles that you have written and turn them into videos. You won’t want to read them verbatim, but use them as a script. Film them in interesting places or even just in your study. You can also interview people about network marketing or your specific product and post it online. Be creative because you are oicle. The best way to do that is to start reading good articles. The more you do so the better you will get at writing them.
For each of these tactics you will need to associate your ads, articles or videos with specific keywords. Pick them carefully in order to target the exact market you are looking for. With Craigslist make sure to include your keywords that you are targeting in the title and the ad itself.
I was so skeptical that I didn’t even read the sales letter nor did I look at your 10 day email series.
In fact, it took nearly a year before I really understood why none if it sparked my interest.
And it was really by a stroke of luck that I actually picked up a copy of what was to later become the most important course of my life. By a twist of fate, within the same day I had two different members of my Network Marketing upline ask me to take a look at the Magnetic Sponsoring website. On the second recommendation, I scrolled to the bottom of the sales letter, hit the order button and bought it. I figured for $37, I couldn’t go wrong.
When I received the book, I read it then shelved it. Frankly, at the time I didn’t like what you had to say. It hurt.
It conflicted so deeply with everything I was brainwashed by my company into believing about my own opportunity: its visionary founders, their oh-my-god so amazing vitamins, and their best-thing compensation plan.
Unlike others we hear from online, I’m very new to Network Marketing and have only ever represented the one company. So for 12 months I lost money in Network Marketing and my upline and company training had me convinced that it was because there was something wrong with me. After all, I was a postgrad computer geek who avoided human contact.
Magnetic Sponsoring sat on my bookshelf while I changed who I was. My aim was to become a social, networking, recruiting ANIMAL. I read books like How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes, Body Language by Allen and Barbara Pease, etc.
To cut a long story short, I did crazy things no one in their right mind would do and finally mastered how to recruit people at will. I made cheques for $1,000-$2,000 per week through active recruiting.
But as time passed, things didn’t get any easier…
Not one of the new distributors I recruited was willing to learn what I did and one by one they dropped off.
Frustrated and looking for a solution, I turned back to Magnetic Sponsoring. Before I even received Magnetic Sponsoring I bought the MLM Traffic Formula as well. And until this point, I hadn’t even listened to all the CDs.
After reading both courses back and forth a few times, I decided to start with Magnetic Sponsoring and “try it out”. My friend Steve who used to be in my upline–until he quit–suggested that I cancel my $250 monthly autoship and redirect that money toward my marketing training. His theory was that if I cracked the code, I could recruit and make money at will.
Rather than create my own system, I started out with Magnetic Sponsoring. It is a complete marketing machine in itself. All I had to do was master ONE skill. I knew that would appeal to the distributors that joined me. They would need to learn how to write short Google ads and the system does all the selling. It sounded nice in theory, but was it real?
The first month I set a budget of $50 and started promoting the Magnetic Sponsoring Boot Camp. Following some of the tips in the MLM Traffic Formula I was able to generate my first leads within exactly 13 minutes. In fact, the first lead came in while I was still setting up my advertising campaign–that’s why I remember.
To my surprise, I had my very first sale literally within 2 days! It wasn’t much, but the result was certainly encouraging because my business was in profit already. Over the next few days I continued to advertise and emailed each prospect manually with an introductory E-Mail as you instructed.
Inevitably, every time a prospect responded to my E-Mail, a sale was made.
At first the money came in trickles. I made between 7 to 10 leads per day which was certainly more than the 1-2 I use to talk to at the peak of my traditional Network Marketing. Soon after, I was making a steady income just from Magnetic Sponsoring affiliate sales.
Excited that I earned a regular profit, I started having something to write in my emails. I created an elaborate email campaign and intertwined affiliate offers into my work the same way the MLM Traffic Formula course taught me to do.
I really took to heart your advice on passive campaigning. My entire approach to email marketing became passive and affiliate offers were sold effortlessly. It didn’t take long for the multiple streams of income to compound on each other.
I listened to the Traffic Formula audio CDs literally every night on loop before I went to sleep and all day while working. Everything in there is a GEM. I learned and applied one by one the things I learned. Each time I took one piece of advice from your course, I earned a little more money.
I wasn’t worried that I hadn’t yet sponsored anyone into my primary business. I was making enough cashflow through Magnetic Sponsoring and affiliate sales that I didn’t need to recruit.
On the 22nd day of promoting Magnetic Sponsoring the phone rang.
This was to later become one of many excited prospects who were already educated on my business opportunity wanting to know how to join me. My upline big-shot leader was stunned at how I had people so excited they wanted to sell their personal belongings to start working with me. It wasn’t long before my company’s leaders and my own upline began stalking me online trying to get their hands on my secrets–which I shared openly!
Using skills I learned from you Mike in the MLM Traffic Formula, your own marketing campaigns, and the incredible people you introduced me to such as Eben Pagan, Michael Fortin, Perry Marshall, and Yanik Silver, I created a sales letter for my business opportunity. I deliberately made it expensive to work with me in my primary business to avoid recruiting anyone. There was no rush; the money was coming either way.
My system was not complete yet and I felt I had much more skills to learn.
I was shocked because before 24 hours were up, the first applicant had submitted their details, requesting to work with me. I was forced to step up.
In no time, my sales letter was bringing me educated prospects who wanted to work with me. They had no idea what the name of my company was, nor what products I promoted, nor did I bother to explain our compensation plan. They were ready to join. That is I didn’t need to recruit, because people were enrolling themselves.
Today I have people from all around the world calling at all times and emailing to thank me for the value I provide. It gives me great pleasure to know that I have modelled you in being able to genuinely help struggling Network Marketers to reach success.
You may not realise it, but you have been an inspiration to me as a mentor. This is all thanks to the philosophies you have taught me. I have duplicated your high level of integrity, your genuine aim to provide value in all your products, and your ability to over-deliver.
Wholeheartedly I promote you and everything you produce. In an industry full of hype your products stand out as the REAL DEAL. It is a great debt of gratitude that I owe to you for all you have taught me. Thank you Mike.

Those Of The Top Lead Generation Companies…You See, Simply Having Access To “Leads”
Is Not The Answer To Your Problem…
They are part of the answer, but not a solution by themselves. What you do with your leads once you generate them is what really matters.
There are over 6 different types of leads you can generate. Which types should you pursue?
How do you market your business to them?
How do you market your product to them?
How to you get them to pursue you?
How do you monetize them if they don’t join your business?
Do you email them, call them, or mail a letter? How often?
How do you automate this process?
What should your emails, calls, or letters say? What should the headline be?
Are you frustrated with the progress of your business? Are you sick of paying for leads and not seeing the results that you desire?
Would you like to learn how to market yourself on Facebook? Are you interested in finding out the secrets to this Web 2.0 community?
Facebook is all the rage; there are people that rarely venture out of Facebook onto the rest of the internet. It has become their community and in fact many people use it as the main way to communicate themselves. In high school, college and even people out of college instead of the phone number they’ll ask for their Facebook ID.
Facebook offers internet marketers another “MILLION” dollar opportunity.
Here are five rules to marketing on Facebook.
1. Act like a “normal” user and not a marketer-add friends and use an intro message, interact with people, etc.
2. Facebook is a sale free zone - don’t market directly on your personal page
3. Don’t send out spammy messages marketing to your friends in mass emails on facebook
4. Do start a marketing page for your business after you have built a base of minimally 400 friends.
5. Do start a group so that people can interact and post questions and comments about your business
The normal user on Facebook looks for new friends on other friends sites. Don’t just add them to friends though. You must type a message of introduction of yourself and how you know them. If you don’t do that some will consider it spam.
Find old friends, join groups you are interested in and post on them. Interact with your friends, update what you are doing now, write on people’s wall, post videos and have fun with it.
Interacting with people on Facebook is similar to interacting with people in the real world. You aren’t going to just go up to your friends and start harassing them about your new pyramid business. You are going to fit it into the conversation in a casual way that interests them and leave it at that without pushing them. You will quickly give them the info to create interest and let them decide if they want to pursue it. Oh, that is if you are going to do it the right way instead of the old school begging, pleading and scolding for not joining your business.
The same thing applies with just sending out a mass Facebook email about your business. It’s spammy and people react very negatively to it on Facebook. They’ll report it as spam and you can lose your page.
Once you have a good base of friends I recommend you start a page for your business. Always present your business on your page with HOW it benefits others, with a HOW TO statement or a DISCOVER or a LEARN opening piece so that people that are intrigued with that subject would click through and learn about how you can help them and build value in their lives. Invite them to interact and discuss and ask questions. Keep things positive even if you get negative comments. People will see the discussion and find out you are a great person if you handle it correctly. They will want to do business with someone who is professional and they can see they handle objections and issues with fairness and kindness.
Finally start a group about your business that offers the opportunity for people to join it and start interacting as a group about your business.
The best thing to market on Facebook is you and the knowledge and the value you have to offer. It honestly won’t work the best to market your MLM company directly. Market your own personal capture page that offers a email boot camp or Magnetic Sponsoring or Building on a Budget. Keep it informational.
Know also that beyond simply giving you results directly on Facebook google and other search engines love Facebook so as they see your URL’s on it and interlinked on various sites within Facebook they will give you a higher search engine ranking!
Enjoy!
