Even if you are successful at recruiting new members to your Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) program, it is not enough. You need to be able to show your downline how to recruit, or you won't have a business. The most important thing you need to promote any MLM program online is a duplicatable system. A system is an organized, established prodcedure, which will produce consistant results, no matter who is using the system. Systems are duplicatable, while most people are not.

Most successful MLM recruiting systems have a few things in common, including:

Your own domain or presence on the internet. There is no easy way around it. You MUST have your own site if you are going to succeed easily, or you'll find yourself struggling like crazy just to break even, like over 90% of those without their own website are doing.

A lead capture, or "squeeze page". Lead capture pages focus specifically on capturing leads for a newsletter or making sales for a specific product ? and make no attempt to give visitors any other option. Usually you offer something of value to entice a potential downline member to sign up to your opt-in list. It can be an ebook, or perhaps a free report. Almost all successful internet marketers know the importance of having their own list. The best quality lead is always the one who specifically asked for your information. Build your own opt-in list, and you will get the best quality leads you could possibly get. All the money you'll ever make in this business will come from your list. It is the same for any other business. Their customers and potential customers are their most valued assets, because that's where the money comes from.

An autoresponder loaded with a series of follow ups. Over half of your members won't sign up on their first visit, but they might submit their name and email address to get free information. Studies have shown time after time that people will still be signing up after 7 or more contacts. Write a series of 7-10 followup messages to be sent automatically over a period of about a month for best results. With a good follow up system, you can convert several times more prospects into members rather than just one-time visitors.

You should advertise the marketing system that your team is using to achieve huge success. People will join you if they believe you have a workable system in place. If you advertise only your affiliate link you are losing out on a lot of potential money. Think about it for a moment . . . If you just advertise your referral page for the program you're promoting, what happens to the traffic you create? You are creating leads for the owners of the program you are promoting, and very often you won't even know it. They would have been your leads if you had sent them to your own website, instead of your referral page. Make sure to advertise generic recuiting information on your own website, and have a way to capture visitors information for YOU.

Find an existing system that works, or design your own system that combines these elements, and you will easily be able to build huge downlines in any MLM program you choose.
