When you first enter into the world of network marketing or mlm one of the first stumbling blocks you will hit is how to generate a business opportunity lead. This is a person that is actively looking to get involved with your business or a similar business. Most companies will try to sell you on using they're replicated websites and buying pay per click ads on google and yahoo, but this in most cases will leave the new distributor broke and frustrated. I know this was the most difficult part for me. But there is a pretty easy solution for this problem. The only hard part about this solution is that it involves work. And for most over night riches seekers this is just not an option, but for you determined entrepreneurs out there I will give you a brief outline of what you need to do.



You need to start by becoming a student of the art of marketing and with the building of your first website. This is blown way out of proportion to the beginner. For the computer beginner you can also find a someone else to do it for you. You can find this service for about 200 dollars. Now you can go the more expensive way and purchase your website, which is fine just make sure it is done in a timely manner. Hey every one needs gas money these days. Regardless of whether you do it yourself or if you pay someone to do it your website needs to have a few key elements to generate leads. A good website includes an attention grabbing headline, visible opt in form and an autorespopnder series for the lead. Another main area of your website will be the sales copy. It's important to keep it simple and sell the benefits not the features.

After you have your website up and running you will need to drive qualified traffic to this site. If you are a novice marketer it is wise to stick with the free traffic sources before you venture into paid marketing like google adwords. Even though this will be free traffic the caliber of leads you will generate will be highly targeted and abundant if you stick to your plan and put a little sweat equity into it. The most effective free traffic sources are videos, articles, blogs and social marketing with sites like dig. The purpose of these methods is for direct traffic to your site as well as back links to your site to increase your rankings in the search engines organic rankings. With these avenues of marketing you need to take massive action and have a plan to follow so you don't get side tracked.

The last part of the lead generation cycle is qualifying the lead. All you need to do here is give your lead a survey that makes them answer questions you feel will help you gauge whether or not this prospect is qualified to work with you.
