How to Get More Network Marketing Leads From Classified Ad Sites

Are you looking for a great way to generate leads for your network marketing business? Classified ad sites are a great way to accomplish this. Many have decided to leave classified ads behind, claiming they are not worth it anymore. I believe this is a BIG mistake.The benefits of placing classified ads online certainly outweigh the "supposed" detriments.What Are Classified Ad Sites?Classified advertising sites are essentially sites that allow you to post short classified ads. Some even allow you unlimited posting capabilities and give you the ability to use HTML in your ad.One of the most well known classified ad sites is Craigslist, which people commonly use to post items for sale, jobs, and opportunities. You can also use this site to post an ad for your business as long as you do not abuse it.Craigslist allows you to post your ad for free, and you are able to target your ad to a specific geographic area within the United States and other countries also. Craigslist allows you to post as many ads as you want to in as many different cities around the word that you wish.The trick is to stay on top of your ads and create a system of posting. Your ads will fall off the site quickly due to the massive posting going on. Craigslist is a very busy site.A word of warning: You may also see ads on Craigslist that will try and sell you automated posting software. I suggest you stay away from these services as Craigslist frowns upon this kind of software.If you post your ads manually and use Craigslist as it is intended to be used, you will be able to post as many ads as you wish without any problems. At least this has been my experience.Craigslist may be the most visited classified ad site online, but it is not the only big one. To find other classified ad sites, I suggest you go to Google and simply search for more. You will find thousands of different sites. Of course, you will not be able to use all of them and you also wouldn't want to, as some of them will be a total waste of your time.To better optimize your postings make sure you research the "usage" statistics of a classified ad site you are thinking of posting an ad on. If the classified ad site only looks to have about 50-100 visitors per day, it is probably not worth your time to post. However, if it draws 100,000 visitors a day, you have a great site on your hands.You can get traffic estimates for any website through alexa.com or quantcast.com. Just go to either of these sites and put in the URL of the classified ad site you wish to research.Quantcast is one of my favorite ways to research classified ad sites as they also give you demographic data.The Benefits of Classified Ad SitesWhen I first started out building my business online I did not have very much money to invest in advertising. I could barely afford my autoship for the company I was in! I used classified ads almost exclusively for awhile. I was able to use them because many are free or extremely low cost. This makes for a great and even almost guaranteed ROI.Additionally, the search engines give respect to many of the larger and more well-known classified ad sites because they are constantly generating new content with each ad being posted. Sometimes this can cause your ad to show up in the top of the search results for certain keywords. Extra traffic is always a plus!Also, because the search engines give respect to these sites, the links to your site (where you are capturing your leads), are considered to have more authority. You will be building backlinks to your site from sites that are seen as important and authoritative. This is great for SEO purposes and can only benefit your site.Creating a Classified AdCreating a classified ad is fairly easy, but you still need to do some planning. You are going to want to make sure the classified ad site has an audience that is right for your product or service. The best way to do that is to use quantcast.com, as I mentioned above. The demographic data that quantcast provides allows you to write a compelling and persuasive ad which will speak to the specific audience of that site.Also, make sure you read the Terms of Service of the site so you know what you can and cannot say. Some sites will not allow certain types of work at home ads.You will need to look at a few of the other classified ads that are already listed too. This will give you a good feel for what your ad will look like when you go to create it.The Purpose of Your Classified AdYou need to know what "action" you are seeking your visitor to take when they come to your ad. Yes, I know this sounds redundant, but unless you keep in mind what it is you want your visitor to do at all times, you won't craft an ad that works to your advantage.Advertising is all about tapping into the conversation your prospect is having with themselves at the time they are reading your ad. You need to enter into that conversation and capture their attention by providing an answer to the questions they have or a solution to their problem. You should be able to do this in less than 100 words. Of course, the answer to their question and the solution to their problem is to opt into your lead capture page.Before you start a classified ad campaign, it would be a good idea to study ads you find compelling and effective. Save emails you receive that catch your interest, and bookmark sales letters with headlines that pull you in. As you collect these types of ads you will be building for yourself what is known as a "Swipe File." You will be able to go to this swipe file and pull out ideas whenever you are looking to write a new ad.3 Tips For Maximizing Your Classified Ad StrategyThere are three essential tips you need to know before starting on your classified ad campaign.1) Make sure you write several ads so you are not always using the same ones on every site. It is best to write a minimum of 10 short ads that you feel will do well, and begin to post them. The main reason you want to do this is not to avoid duplicate content issues (which is mostly a myth) but so that you can see which ads are going to work better for your audience on any given site. This leads us into strategy #2...2) Make sure you are testing and tracking your ads. To do this you are going to need to have some sort of ad tracking software. Don't only track the amount of clicks to your site from the ad itself, although that is an important first step. What really matters most is how many leads your ad generates from that traffic.Clicks to your site does not make you any money. They need to opt-in to get your information first. You need to know what your conversion rate from visits to leads is. That is the most important number when you need to know which ad is most effective.3) This third strategy is a great strategy and takes very little time. Once you create a classified ad and post it, you should get a URL for your ad. Take this URL and submit it to social bookmarking sites. You can create awareness of your offer and reach many more people with your message with the same content.Classified ads are not new but they still work. If you use them correctly they can be very effective for you and provide a really solid ROI. If you focus on this strategy and follow my suggestions in this article you will see an increase in the number of leads you generate per day.If you can generate 50 leads per day, and put them through a good follow-up system that markets your business, you should be able to build a full-time income in ANY network marketing company.

How to Get Prospects to Pay You Even When They Don't Join Your Team

Have you heard of a funded proposal or self liquidating offer? They are basically the same thing and people who are building a home based business use them to generate leads and make money to use for advertising. This is a critical component of your marketing plan if you want to stay in the game long enough to see profits from your efforts.Basically it is the process of selling an inexpensive system or information on the front end so you can earn advertising money and qualify prospects for your primary opportunity. Anyone who does not have the money or is not serious enough about their business to invest in their education probably will not be able to succeed in your primary business anyway.There are five huge reasons you should use this strategy if you are serious about being an entrepreneur. Besides being the smart way to do business it also makes your job easier because you can be more productive as it gives you a way to leverage your time. Not only can you use it to make fast money but it will help you generate endless targeted leads for your business.1. The hottest products on the Internet are information related and you can tap into this to generate quick cash for operating expenses. (5% of all your contacts online or offline will never join your business and this gives you a way to make money off all the leads you generate online. Using this strategy can potentially give you many income streams because it gives you a chance to promote many different tools and services used in Internet marketing.2. If you get a prospect to purchase an inexpensive product or service from you it will be easier to sponsor them into your primary business because you have already helped them. If you position yourself where those looking for a solution can find you and you help them then they will have some trust in you from that. You are showing them proper marketing instead of fliers and meetings and they will like you since you have shown them how to start making money.3. When you approach strangers at the mall or even your friends and relatives and try to convince them they need your opportunity or product it is easy to be perceived as a pest but when your prospects find you after doing a search for something they want you are perceived as a leader or an expert. When those who find you this way also find a solution you provided they will respect you for helping them without trying to sell them another problem.4. If you promote tools and services that truly help prospects in their business building efforts you are really training them on how to use the system you use. This is very smart because it not only puts them into profit quickly which will improve yours and their retention rates but it also keeps them in your marketing funnel longer and they may become business partners with you one day.5. By showing your newest representatives how to get into a positive cash flow for their operating budget and helping retention rates you are also giving them a system they can duplicate which causes tremendous momentum in your team.This is how all the top income earners in network marketing are operating their business. Instead of throwing home parties and attending late night hotel meetings they market information and use a system that will generate leads and money for them 24 hours a day.

They join a leader - someone who can help them reach their goals.If you take time to study the most successful network marketers, you may notice most of them do not lead with their company's product when making first contact with a prospect. They do not lead with their opportunity. They do lead with a relationship - offering value, mentoring, support, and perhaps most importantly, leadership. What the greatest networkers also realize is that by sharing information and working together as a group, or "community," wealth creation becomes a viable opportunity for all involved.The network marketer of today has nearly limitless options for offering value to fellow marketers and for building valuable networking relationships.

Agel Review - Great Opportunity Or Not?

Agel Enterpises LLC, this multilevel marketing company has grown fast since its birth in March 2005 and they now operate in 53 countries. They've capitalized on the growing health & wellness industry, but what's in it for you?A Bit Of HistoryThe founder of this multilevel marketing company goes by the name of Glen Jensen who previously worked in other MLM companies such as Nu Skin Enterprises and Neways, he worked in this industry for 10 years before he began his own company called Agel along with Craig Bradley and it has grown from strength to strength.The ProductsAgel sells 9 different products 'gelceuticals' they call them. These 'gelceuticals are the first ever nutritional products that are suspended in a gel. Their unique selling point is that they don't have to be taken with water. The 9 different products are said to target specific ailments like joint pain, increase energy, reduce appetite and the like.The OpportunityTo become a distibutor you have to buy in to either the personal pack or the exutive kit and at the beginning their is an emphasis on recruiting others so you could start earning commissions. Agel is of course structured how it was meant to be, a multilevel marketing company with a two-leg commission model where you only make commissions off your weaker leg. commissions based on this model is 10%.The Compensation PlanThe founders of Agel have incorporated a compensation plan called quadra-plan. This plan pulls from some elements of compensation plans from some other companies but their is a very confusing twist.Agel sells it's products to you the reseller and you market the products in turn making a profit. The profit made off the lower priced $75 product gives you a 30% commission. Your upline will advise you to of course purchase the executive kit, which makes sense as this should in theory give you the potential to earn more money. The executive kit could range from $450-$600 a month and each executive kit sold will give you $200 as an affiliate.ConclusionAgel has a fantastic line-up of products a great reward structure afraid. But with any business it will take hard work and dedication. If you would like to explode your business then you will need 50 monthly renewals on the executive kit. Beware of anyone giving you over hyped promises, the retention rates in MLM are less than stellar and that holds true even for Agel.I haven't joined this opportunity, I think it could be difficult to build up residuals, however I'd still like to add that Agel could be successful for you if you know how to market. Your success is directly proportionate to how well you market. Get this right and you make it.

Why Network Marketing and Personal Development Go Hand in Hand

The average new distributor has very little business ownership experience and not much experience marketing themselves online. Most people have been employees for the better part of their lives, so they are used to someone telling them what to do every day and getting a paycheck just for showing up to work. Starting a network marketing business requires work, determination, a positive attitude, and willingness to learn new skills necessary for success, so personal development is a very important part of becoming a successful MLM business owner.The biggest problem facing people starting out online is getting out of the employee mentality. When you've been told what to do all of your life suddenly becoming a self starter isn't always easy. That's exactly why network marketing and personal development blend so well. Making big changes in your life requires a regimented change in the way you think in order to change the way you act which is why network marketing business owners use various mental exercises to develop a business owner's mindset and shift away from the employee mentalityPersonal Development has also been proven over time to help people make large positive changes in their lives by eliminating limiting beliefs through positive affirmations. Almost everyone has these mental blocks to success that have been engraved into their thought patterns over time. Long term societal conditioning has people in a mentality that they need to get an education, and get a good job in order to be successful in life. It is very difficult for a large percentage of the population to break out of that mold without a good deal of mental training. Affirmations, when practiced regularly, (5+ times per day) can drastically improve a person's chance of breaking out of the social norm and taking control of one's life.There are so many motivational speakers and coaches like Bob Proctor, Anthony Robbins, and Joe Vitale available today that focus on success mindset and breaking out of the corporate mold. Network marketing and personal development work so well together because of the steps people like this have taken to develop books, courses, and conferences designed to help people make the exact changes that this industry requires.

How to Optimize Your Website For Both the Search Engines and Human Readers

Keeping up with the search engines is something which every marketer tries to do, and many are very frustrated by their apparent failure. There is no doubt that search engine algorithms keep changing, and that sites which were once favorites you could rely on, have now become obsolete and wonders of the past.All of the search engines algorithms don't change the fact that web pages need to be designed first and foremost for human beings. All of the outdated search engine optimization (SEO) tactics such as meta tags may as well be followed, for the simple reason that there is no point in not following them, but stuffing web pages themselves with keywords will not achieve anything, except possibly attract the attention of the part of the algorithm which demotes sites for keyword stuffing.No matter what the content on your site is, you can use a link building campaign to enhance your SEO. This needs to be done extremely carefully, as the search engines do not like websites to have too many links too quickly. The most important factor of all is not to try and game the system, and buy links from bad neighborhoods. This can have an absolutely disastrous effect, confining your site to oblivion effectively forever.As a marketer, your primary target has to be humans. It is humans which get out their credit cards and buy your products. It is humans who log in to their PayPal accounts and buy your books, audio products and videos. Humans click on your contextual advertising. This is not to say that trying to please the engines is not an eminently sensible thing to do, it just has to be done in moderation. The good news is that the vast majority of search engine optimization is actually good for humans as well, as it involves supplying fresh relevant content to the web pages.The primary consideration when trying to rank in the search engines is the competition. How competitive are the keywords you are targeting? How well optimized is the site? How many backlinks do they have? All of these need to be considered when you are analyzing the possibility of attaining a top ranking on search engines.
