How Can I introduce 50 people per day to my MLM business ?

First and foremost, a day will come you'll probably realize that you don't have a business - MLM is a business model that exists partially because it makes people believe they have a business.

Secondly, just as in any real business, you need to identify who your best prospects are. Once you understand their needs and wants find out where you can find them.

Then let them know what your offer is and why they should choose what you give them over anything else.

The most important bit: those who will buy your products are not the same group who will sell your products. This means you need two separate campaigns - one to get people to join and one to get people to buy.

Do you not think it would have been a good idea to research this before you decided to join?

The biggest thing that will help you is to get away from a mindset of "making money" and move toward a mindset of "helping people" -- and I'm not presupposing that you're already in one mindset or the other (I can't tell from your short initial post).

Just focus on helping people; the money will come.

I agree with Michael.

You have to go with the mindset of HELPING people.

Now think carefully, what MLM business are you promoting, identify how this MLM product is going to benefit persons, and then point these benefits to your prospects. DONT SELL

Persons will be more willing to help you if you going to help them get rid of their problem.

If you are selling a health and wellness product then the products probably help or cure a certain problem with people. See if you can find a forum or other online area where people that need your product go. Maybe there is a Yahoo group, FB group and maybe even another forum.

50 per day is a pretty high target, especially if you are just getting started. Putting an ad on a forum that gets 50 visits per day isn't the same as introducing 50 people to your business. Introducing people to your business usually requires more discussion and/or effort to contact the people.

Can I ask a simple question, why would you want to do that?

What I mean by this is what your doing is promoting the business that in all likelihood you are not the owner, and most likely you will not receive the maximum benefit of your hard work.

Its just that I dont understand what the difference between working off line in an hourly job, (one that at least you get health care most of the time at least) and working for an online MLM program where you (might get paid)

But here is what I am curious about, what IF,

What if you promoted those 50 people into a list, of buyers, and you produced your own product, one that at least some of those 50 people would buy, then you would be in a position to profit from that work, as it is now, your not the boss, your working for someone else.

Just an observation, I realize that it can be easier to try to promote and work for someone else, to make a few bucks here and there and you know what most of us went down that road, but what we found out was that most of the time these MLM things do not pay out, and if you find that to be true, later on, "Chalk it up" to experience and find another way, but this time work for yourself not someone else, or better than that work with someone, I find that to be a very rewarding thing to do.

The most striking thing to me is that the MLM people you are working for should have all the answers for you and training to help you grow your business. If they cannot do this then you need to re-evaluate your choice. If you were already up and running and looking to further leverage what you have then it would be a different matter.

I'd recommend "qualifying" people seriously, and sponsoring only people who understand what a business is, have some start-up capital well above and beyond the joining-costs (yes, they will need it, even if the company says they won't), understand the concept of self-employed home-based businesses, are well motivated and serious, are not currently active in any other MLM company, and so on.

Spend your time only with "high probability prospects" who were already actively looking for a home-based business opportunity before you have contact with them. Never try to persuade people. It's easy to do, and you can sponsor many that way, but none of them will still be with you in a year's time, and you won't have built a business.

I had only a year's part-time experience of MLM (actually even a little less than that) but that was enough to convince me that it is not a "numbers game". It's about quality and retention of both distributors and customers. The easier it is to sign someone up, the easier it is to lose them to the "next opportunity" when someone else does the same next week or next month.

As usual... start a thread asking a legitimate question about a
legitimate business and all the anti-mlm people who know next to
nothing about the business jump in with their two cents worth... lol

I've been in this business for a long time... longer than probably
most of the other posters in this thread have been alive. I've enjoyed
a great deal of success... I tell you this hoping you might understand
the recommendation I'm going to give...

Scrap this idea immediately. Exposing your business to mass numbers
of people via the internet is not how a successful mlm business is built.

It's built by connecting... REALLY CONNECTING... with people on a one
to one basis who are, or will become, leaders who will duplicate a few
simple actions and perform them on a consistent daily basis.

There is no path to long term mlm success in marketing to the masses via the internet.

You make advertise on social network such as facebook, myspace etc.

You can tell to the people you know.

First and foremost know about the product. whether it does what it says. if the product is for diabetes for example target diabetes patients and explain the plus of your product.write a blog about the product, connect in facebook and tell your friends about the product.Their relatives might be in need of such product.only if you connect with your customers you can sell. real concern has to be there.

Hahaha

Just one example. I had a client who was involved with a "reputable" MLM company that most people know. (cough.. uhm the herbalife people)

Here is the catch: she is not allowed to advertise the product in any way shape or form. So even if she wants to pay for a full page ad - she can't)

Another couldn't sell anywhere she wanted because the Avon manager decided to "give everyone their streets".

Why would you impose such restrictions on people who are adults and want to run a business? How can they make the most possible money if they are not free to use the best tools available?

If you don't sell people on joining, how to you get them to be part of the scheme?

Okay guys, I am not asking if MLM is right for you, or if it's flawed or not.

My question is very simple, which pretty much everyone of you have failed to answer.

How do I get people IN FRONT of my opportunity?

I am not asking for other advice.

Just that. I don't care if you believe in the model, if I am promoting someone else's business, if your grandmother didn't succeed in it, or any other opinion.

I just want to know, how do you introduce 50 people a day to my opportunity?

Thank you for those that don't come in here just to bash the MLM business. If you want to do that, then obviously you don't care about answering my question, so go somewhere else and ramble about your issues with MLM.

I am not asking you guys to join me, I simply asked a question!!

Heres a better idea. Focus your time doing something else. Anything else is better than MLM

With IM you will need to look at it as a business and business can take a while to pick up! Make sure you apply yourself and you lose the idea of just making money and adopt the concept of investing time to catering to people...

Tsnyder I am sending you a PM. Thank you for your help. Hopefully you can help me further.

The fastest way, which I'm not sure how ethical it is, would be to buy some good targeted leads. MLM businesses are not bad if it is a legitimate one. There is a difference between MLM and pyramid scheme in that MLM offers a legitimate product for sale.

No one can guarantee the exact amount of subscribers or buyers you can get everyday.

Its just like asking how to generate 50 sales a day from a retail store. The number of sales you are going to derive will certainly varies.

However, there are good ways to traffic drive and leads to your MLM.

1. PPC
2. SEO Organic Traffic
3. Traffic Exchange
4. Solo Ads
5. List building

Hope this helps.....

The only people who do well with MLM are the people who create it or are one of the first people in.

Other than that you just a pawn. You are basically someone else's slave. You do all the work for them selling their product for a lowly commission. You try and get your friends, family, and other people to join in so you can make commission off of what they sell.

It's a big waste of time considering you could be spending your time reaching millions of people online instead of driving around hawking $20 products in your city or posting ads on craigslist trying to convince people to work under you.

Tsnyder sits in here and talks about how great MLM is, but he won't tell you what product hes selling. Over the years he's convinced himself that what he does is helping people, but good luck trying to get him to talk about what he is actually promoting.

In any MLM opportunity these are your basic steps to success.

1. Identify who your target market of customers for your product are.
2. Create a system to attract your customers that others can copy.
3. Target opportunity seekers to join your MLM opportunity.
4. Create a system to attract or recruit people into your MLM.
5. Train those you recruit to copy your system.

You said you just joined !!
It is not easy to add 50 people daily ..
You have to for a couple of months , in my opinion ..

Guess you don't use logic much.

50 more people under my belt is a lot better than having 50 people under his belt if I were in the industry.

My net is wider the more people I have working under me. Depth is important, but you aren't going to make a lot of money if you sign up one guy and then help him get 50 people to sign up under him.

It's better to sign up 50 people under you and all they would have to do is sign up 1 person each themselves and you exactly where you would be instead of relying on one guy to signup 50 people.

A better way to put it is to think of it like a tree. would you rather have 1 big branch that has 50 smaller branches coming out of it or 50 big branches with the possibility of them producing 50 smaller branches each.

Are you being pressured into sponsoring a downline by your upline?

I joined a well known MLM business in the 80s. There seemed to be a lot of emphasis on enrolling a downline. Make a list of everyone you know. Dismiss anyone who is not interested in the opportunity and products as not being worthy of your company. It can get to a point where you can start alienating your friends and family if you keep "working on them". There was also emphasis on books and tapes and attending seminars (described by some as Rah Rah meetings). I recently read online that the top upline in this patricular business made a significant income from promoting the "positive mental attitude" material and seminars, that the recruiting methods they used in the 80s were state of the art in the 50s and not suitable for the present day.

I wish you luck in your venture, concentrate on the product rather than recruitment. You could enroll a massive downline, but if nobody sells anything...........

I normally avoid MLM threads like the plague,
but I did want to drop in on this one just long
enough to point out that there are many different
types of MLM compensation plans, from binary
to forced matrix with drop-off legs and everything
in-between.

So, the strategy that you use, whether signing
everyone up for yourself, or sharing with your
upline/downline, really depends on the structure
of the plan.

...There are also quite a few other, more emotional
matters involved in the equation, i.e. credibility
and enthusiasm vs. difficulty, but I'm going to stay
away from discussing those at the moment.

Good luck to the OP, who I'm sure can clearly see
who knows what they are talking about and
who does not.

Have a great day everyone, I hear sashimi calling me.

I am not looking for 50 people to sign up everyday, if I was looking for that, and someone had the answer to that, that would be worth millions of dollars.

I am looking for a way to put 50 in front of my business opportunity.

There has been some great suggestions.

The way to make money in mlm is to recruit, and to get customer

Before you get too deep into any MLM business, check out the tax returns filed by the LLC's and individuals involved in the MLM business.

You'll notice that 99.9998% of the people who get involved on any level don't even make enough money to be allowed to claim their expenses on their income tax forms and the average life span of an MLM-based LLC is 13 months - or just about enough time to try for a year and then have a CPA do your taxes and tell you that there's no way in hell to make money in MLM unless you actually own the company or have a list of 100,000 suckers.

Best tip is to get out of your mlm business while you can. It's a money sinkhole. Just stay for the (probably overpriced) products only.

Freelancing10,

I was involved with a couple of MLMs years ago. It was the start of my business life and since I knew nothing about business anything, I never made any money with it.

But that experience taught me that the "training" most MLM companies offer is not nearly enough. I swore after that that if I ever got involved with another MLM (not likely), I'd get proper training.

Dani Johnson (the featured millionaire on ABC's debut episode of "Secret Millionaire") made her first millions in MLM and now has a company which trains MLMers. Dani Johnson | Millionaire Secrets How To Make More Money Quickly is completely independent of any specific MLM company and so is free to do as they choose. I've gotten a few of her products and have been tremendously impressed.

If you're willing to buy leads (faster, easier and probably cheaper than running ads), try EarnProLeads.com.

But before you do, I'd suggest getting some training before investing in leads you may not be able to convert. Dani's Script Book and Script Book Supplemental show you exactly what to say. Her "Prospecting and Closing Millions" as well as "Dynamic Duplication" products will show you exactly how to recruit and sell.

I'm not in any MLM or affiliated with Dani in any way. I've just been where you are and know how dismal the support and training really is and want to share with you something from someone who really KNOWS what she's talking about and offers more than just Rah Rah hype.

Hope that helps!

Michelle

To the OP.

Here is what you need to do, regardless of which way you choose to go.

For the next 90 days(and thereafter) keep track of the following numbers

- Cost to acquire a lead
- Cost to acquire a customer
- Average customer value per 90 days ( you'll expand this number after about 180 days, and of course after one year you will have a better idea of how much a customer is worth to you over a longer period of time)

These are just basic numbers but probably the easiest to track. They will allow you to know how much profit you make as you invest time and money. This way you will also be able to plan ahead better, so you can make more money.

Once you have developed strategies to acquire leads, spend some time to see which medium is most effective - look at the ROI from each source of leads.

Then track how much you get from each person who decided to join the scheme - those you recruit. This will help you project future earning.

Considering the business you are in, it will take you about a year to get a full grasp of these, and other numbers. Nevertheless, you will have a greater chance of succeeding if you pay attention to them.

Recognize the product, try the product and see the result.
You are the real proof.
Start with your friends, family and you can even build a website to reach more people.

::cooks some popcorn::

this is quite an entertaining thread.

I'm with Tsnyder.

By the way, our company doesn't allow the sale of
"off the books" training material or tape of the month
type schemes designed to pad the bank accounts of
field leaders.

If you run across anyone in my business doing so please let me know.

To answer the question in the simplest way I can...

Here are some tips for you put your opportunity in front of that many people...

*BUILD A LIST of targeted leads who are already interested in MLM. These people are likely to be those who are already in MLM or searching about MLM and wonder if they can succeed or not. Offer them a free report that is useful to them (e.g I offer a free report as to why 97% of people in MLM fail while the top 3% continue to dominate, etc.). Give them as much value as possible to show them that you are an awesome leader. Build relations with them. Send out blog posts that teach them techniques and tell them about your successes/failures etc.

MLM is all about relationships. Product and company is just potential. You don't own them. The REAL asset you have in MLM is YOUR LIST of contacts and YOUR RELATIONSHIP with that list. Build relations with them by ADDING VALUE to them such as giving out freebies, teaching them about techniques, sharing with them your experiences - showcases why people want YOU to be their mentor.

You should look at sponsoring people as if you want to mentor them to succeed.

The best place to start is to target COMPANY TRAFFIC because these are where you get fresh new leads from who are most likely interested in succeeding in MLM in the first place.

So it's best to target keywords like '[your company] review', '[your company] scam' and so on...

This way, you build a list full of people who are ALREADY INTERESTED in your opportunity.

Have a well-crafted sales-funnel ready for them to buy AFFILIATE PRODUCTS that will help them learn techniques and strategies for them to build their businesses.

This is known as the FUNDED PROPOSAL CONCEPT as you may have heard from others. You make money even though people don't join you by offering them other products that will help them.

Then once you build a sizable list, you use the LAUNCH FORMULA which roughly involves you revealing your opportunity and giving a lot of exclusive BONUSES for your leads if they join YOU.

That is how the pros can sponsor dozens of people in a matter of days.

Because they build a list, then launch their opportunity while adding a s***load of bonuses so that the prospects cant possibly resist joining them.

But at the end of the day, your TOP priority is pretty much like what any other Internet Marketer must do which is to

BUILD

THAT

LIST

And the rest is history.



Anyway good luck! There's still much for me to cover, but I hope whatever I posted here helps!

I have been reading this thread with interest and one of the observations that were made was that if You were an MLM participant you were at the mercy of the MLM company. You were just a slave,etc,etc.
However in my limited experience in the IM field I have also seen that in IM you are also at the mercy of giant corporations . I.e
1 I have seen people´s businesses (and lives ) destroyed by payment processors like Paypal or others
2.- You are making thousands a month.Alomg comes Google and shuts down your adsense account or changes search engine algortms and blow you out of the water.
3 Ebay or Amazon shuts you down and destroy your business.

There are always risks in whatever you do

Well, IM is not so much a business as much as it is a method.

What I do is actually combine offline and online methods to grow MLM businesses.

Unless you own the product or business, every business has Multi Levels.

Somebody that buys a McDs franchise doesn't own the business, they own a "Level". All of the franchises on that level still have to send a % of the business "up the pyramid" to the actual McDs company.

I recently made a post about this on the blog I use to promote the Networking Business I am involved in (first link in sig).

Think about how something like a car lot operates. There is probably a Sales Team on one level, then probably the Sales Manager on the next level up, and then the owner or maybe a Regional Sales Manager. They all get paid from the sales generated by the Sales Team. Not to mention every other person that works there: admin, financing, janitorial and maybe even mechanics.

The problem I see (and it's my opinion) is when the company has to sell their items at too high of a price because they have to pay too many people. Or when the majority of the income comes from the joining fee and monthly purchases of your "downline" required to remain active. Eventually there will be a time when there won't be anyone left to join so the last person can't earn the income from that. They have to rely on product sales of a product that might be priced to high or hard to sell.

The main reason I joined mine is because it is free and there are no monthly purchases or quotas. I knew that I would be able to show it to my friends and family without asking them to fork over hundreds of dollars just to get started or make them have a large monthly autoship of over priced products they don't want or need. Plus, I really like the product, but it is actually more of a service.

I tell people that ask me about MLMs that there are actually 2 products in an MLM. One is the products or services you are selling to the customer and the other is the business opportunity you are selling to people that want to start a business. They both have to be great products for you to be successful.

Another thing I have never really agreed with is that you must like the product before you join the business. It definitely helps, but I don't think it is a requirement. There are plenty of people that make a lot of money, but don't like the product they are selling. Back to the McDs; do you think the franchise owners actually like burgers at McDs more than the restaurants they probably really go to.

If you find a product first and really like it, then you are in a perfect position if you have the chance to make money by introducing it to other people. Some of the most successful people in the company I am involved in started out as just customers.

@Tsnyder - the question was how really to find out how much recruits are taught to focus on numbers. Plus literature that teaches those things - I didn't ask for access to anyone's account.

Well, the same way MLM companies provide other training I thought they would also cover such business essentials.

I have seen many promotions for MLM related products, but I haven't come across anything that deals with numbers on the ground. I though maybe you could point me in the right direction...

I've been involved with MLM since I was about 18...I'm 25 now so not long, but I've been fairly successful up until this point. Here's some preliminary first:

1. People hate company replicated websites.
As some posters mentioned on this thread, you may want to develop a squeeze page/landing page with an autorespoder attached so that the leads you do create belong to you (and not the company). This will help to further introduce your prospects to you, and sell them on further products/companies at a later date.

2. People hate not understanding how the company operates/lack of support.
Please have personalized training for your team in place and a good way for members who join you to get their questions answered. Skype Groups or a forum is perfect.

3. People want a system to follow/ease of promoting
Just like you, people are always going to be looking to see how easy it is to promote your business and looking for ways to expose their business to others. Give them a system to follow. Maybe speak to someone about doing your own team website, where members who join you can use a copy of your replicated website that you've designed as well as autoresponder emails. It takes the thinking out of promoting and the success and retention rate are much higher.

Now onto how I would get my word out there.

1. Offline Marketing is QUEEN right now.

Since online marketing can be a bit daunting at times due to heavy competition, offline Marketing can create huge exposure fast.

Back to marketing A system. Develop postcard marketing systems for your team. I've just started getting into this and its working out great. I get "opportunity buyers" leads (lists.nextmark.com) which are those who have purchased mlm/network marketing based products in the past. This makes your job a lot easier as these buyers understand the basic principals of mlm and are not hard to train.

Newspaper marketing. Write out a few good ads and lead them to your personally designed website. I would focus on the Classified Section of course since these people may have recently lost jobs or are looking to further their income by picking up a second job. College campus' are also a good place to start...everyone in school could use a bit of extra cash. Check out

Magazine Ads: Make Money magazines will literally explode the exposure to your business. When you have the funds to do this, I would suggest looking at getting half page or full page ads in some or all of the magazines around.

2. Online Marketing
Online Marketing works as well. I've had several people join my list for my primary business because of this.

I would again start with the personally designed squeeze page. Make sure you optimize the site with your MLM primary business keywords. SEO is important. This will attract all of the people who are actually LOOKING for your business. This means they already have a working knowledge of your business which is great.

Banner Adverstising: This will take some skill, but there are plenty of sites where you can purchase ad space. If the site you advertise on has a targeted audience, you can literally get tons of exposure per day to your business.

Social Media: This also will take a bit of skill, but many here are dominating on sites like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest etc. Maybe those who are a bit more knowledgeable can expand on this.

I think getting 50 people per day to see your site can be relatively easy with the know how. Regardless of whether people agree with your business choice here or not. Promotion/Exposure is just that...Promotion/Exposure.

my 2 cents

Here is a start:

http://www.warriorforum.com/articles...a-secrets.html

will you generate your leads online or offline? Will you use a website or advertise in the newspapers? I call this your primary lead generation strategy. I think it's best to focus 100% of your efforts on one strategy at a time.

Find out who your Best Buyers are (the prospects that when they say "yes" will buy the most product and sell the most product). Focus 90% of your energy, marketing, money and time only on those people. It might be 10 times harder to get a Best Buyer to say yes, but when they do they will dramatically increase your sales/profits. Don't focus on broke people, focus on the best buyers! This strategy works not just for MLM but any business model.

Facebook ads!!

MLM; not a business? That's pretty funny. I'd like to see you try to tell that joke to the IRS come Tax time!

For those who insist that you can't easily profit in MLMs, or that it has to take years to do it I became profitable in my affiliateship in 4 days. It took work, but it wasn't digging ditches in the sun!

Let this young man has his chance. He just might find financial freedom and time freedom.

It seems to me that those who claim to know MLM, yet are hostile towards it, didn't know enough to succeed at it, perhaps have never tried it, (and therefore have no real experience), or were just in the wrong MLM vehicle.

first you have to hard working person.i think that MLM is good business.you have to go honest,mindset and sincere people.

Dude... make your own info product (that's related to your MLM) keep 100% of the profits to subsidize or eliminate your marketing costs so you can buy more traffic.. sell your existing customers your retail MLM product and other related affiliate products.

If you make good money and can prove it just repeat the same process to build your downline filled with people wanting to do what your doing.

Also by doing this you get to keep all the leads and customers for yourself and then pass them on to the MLM business.

Hope this helps... all I can tell you is to put your own product in front of the traffic before sending it off for commissions.

This is not something which happens overnight. Just start a blog, article submissions. Try paid solo ads and when you start having a little success just scale up your marketing efforts.

Nothing brings out my troll mode more than a needlessly resurrected thread .

Questions about MLM businesses always seems to bring out some "interesting" comments in this forum.

MLM is always promising a good income you can generate. me myself had been joined for five times with different MLM company,

There's no wrong with MLM, but be careful with business model & the product itself,
Good product with reasonable price is the key.

Now I stop my MLM business, it isn't because the product is bad or the business model is not good

I'm just too lazy to run MLM,

If you are new to this industry, First and foremost, Do your Research on anything you want to do before joining it.

The best way to start getting Leads to your program is through another program that offers value and by doing that you will be exposuring your primary program without selling it right into people faces.

You must brand Yourself instead of your business, people do not join MLM's, Opportunities, People Join People.

Offer something of value to people, people is looking for solutions, not to jump right into a business.
Also there is 2 crucial things for you to become successful.
1-You Will need a good mentor
2-You will need a system that funnels your prospects step by step
3-An autoresponder

Later you can build a blog(domain.hosting,autoresponder) wwhich will help you generate tons of leads for free.

This is a Long Journey and there is a lot of work involved, but depending on your efforts, it is very rewarding once you know what to do.

Starting out My suggestion for inmediate leads while you build your own list is
solo ads(There is some cost involved), by doing it you will have an inmediate list of prospects.

Wish you good luck at what ever you decide to do.
hope it helps
