The first time I heard of LinkedIn I thought, what in the world is LinkedIn? If you’re reading this article then you thought the same thing I did. On the surface it is a social networking site where professionals can get together and exchange information and ideas. Deeper than that, it can become the lifeblood to your success.
The first time I ever saw LinkedIn I got an e-mail invitation from a friend of mine. I thought the e-mail was a mistake, I had never heard of LinkedIn. So I looked on the web for some more information. Wikipedia’s definition is: a business – oriented social networking site founded in December 2002 and launched in May 2003 mainly used for professional networking; as of October 2009, it had more than 48,000,000 registered users spanning more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. After reading that I decided it was reputable, so I joined and that was it. I did not understand what else to do, so I did not do any more and left my account as it was.
I became interested in a program called MLM Lead System Pro, an online marketing system that helps struggling network marketers finally get results by teaching marketing skills. We listened in on one of their weekly webinars as a guest. The guest speaker was Larry Beacham. Within moments my eyes were opened. In a few short months he began generating an average of 15 leads per day, 90% by using LinkedIn’s social network. He also assisted 94 other struggling network marketers from around the world using MLM Lead System Pro and 89 of them were from LinkedIn.
LinkedIn allows you to connect with other professionals whether it is in MLM Marketing, banking and many other specific companies and general categories. You choose what groups to belong to. This will help you to be more specific in the information you’re seeking and what you have to offer others. You do this by writing informative articles. Larry Beacham’s success came by writing good articles with informative content that other people found valuable and helpful. This allows you to become a problem solver; in being able to articulate what you have learned, helpful tips and reviews on what you’ve read you help other people find solutions to the problems they have been facing.
If the content of your articles is good enough people will leave comments. When they leave their comments they are placing value on what you have written. When they do this be sure to thank them for their thoughts and ask them to connect with you on the group. After connecting in the group, make sure to keep in contact by finding out more about their personal situation and how you can specifically help them. You can then base your future contact and helpful tips and information on what you’ve learned by connecting with them personally. Remember you are not promoting your business yet; you’re promoting yourself and what you have learned. You’re promoting what you have to offer people that can help them succeed. Others on LinkedIn are also putting out information about what they have learned; so don’t forget to read their work and comment on their articles as well.

Generating lots of leads seems a tough thing to do but with the right training, elbow grease and system it’s not as big a challenge as it seems. The biggest challenge of multilevel marketing is that 90% of MLM marketers don’t make any money. What if they were thinking about things the wrong way? What if by changing the way we think we could generate more leads than we ever thought possible?
The easiest way to start is by training yourself. Learn the ins and outs of each business you’re involved with. You may have more than one main business that you’re interested in promoting. Once you learn how to better market yourself you can teach others to do the same thing. You also want to learn about the programs, systems and tools available to make generating leads easier and more profitable. To generate these leads for almost nothing become an affiliate marketer. While you generate leads for your main businesses you can introduce products and tools that can help people build their businesses or live healthier lives.
MLM Lead System Pro is an automated marketing funnel, made for multilevel marketers by multilevel marketers, that is easy and fully customizable. It offers to teach you how to brand yourself, and build lists by using a personal auto responder (taking the burden off of your shoulders) and shows you how to provide cash flow while you build your business, most importantly it has an extensive section for training that includes, but does not stop at, everything from weekly webinars, training in Web 2.0, Adwords and generating leads to video marketing and capture pages. The point of the system is to help others fulfill their goals and succeed in their businesses, in doing so you will reach your goals. By offering helpful tips, free quality training and education, your personal time and energy and information on how to dominate SEO amongst other helpful tools, you become someone of value.
By becoming an affiliate marketer with multiple affiliate associations you can better use the MLM lead system to generate at least two opportunities to connect with your contact by offering products through your affiliates and then having an auto responder keep contact with those leads. Once you build a rapport with your lead by helping them to succeed, they will be more interested in what else you were working with. Then you may introduce your main business or businesses. If you produce quality products and education people will want to know about you and what you are doing; after you help them succeed only good things can come your way.
The right training and the right tools and MLM Lead System Pro’s automated system releases you and frees your time to stay in touch with your contacts and to spend time with your family. We got into this business to be able to spend more time with our family and to have control over our time. By being able to generate tons of leads per day, the right tools to connect with those leads and having the right frame of mind success is attainable.

In today’s age of global economies, internet marketing is becoming the one strategy that can make your business stand out. By building a business plan doing your market research and branding yourself you can generate tons of leads and build a relationship marketing foundation. By doing this you not only help yourself but more importantly you help others reach their goals. In doing this you build relationships and therefore foundations to help promote yourself in new and efficient ways. And while this might seem a daunting task it will allow you to generate more business in the days and years to come.
People connect with people not companies or opportunities. If you can give people what they need and what they are looking for and help them to achieve their goals you will reach yours. By giving educational software, research tools and other helpful items you ensure their success and provide a solution. Continue following up with these new leads through e-mail and phone calls never pushing your product but offering advice and solutions. Eventually you will build a rapport and be able to communicate freely back and forth with other educational offers and helpful tips. You’ve heard give and it will be given to you and it’s true. In the process of helping others to fulfill their dreams, your dreams become realized. Once a relationship is built they begin to tell their circle about the education and tools that you have given them to help them succeed in their business or businesses. By providing something of value for free they are encouraged to come back and see what else you have to offer; this is how you gain trust. Using this strategy will build your lead base and encourage retention of new users.
Branding yourself is another key strategy for Internet Marketing. People connect with people, people trust people, and people work with people, not so with businesses. Promoting yourself as someone of value by offering quality free education and other valuable tools you’ll be able to introduce your main business later on. By branding yourself I mean everyone has a unique quality they can offer to others; whether it be a talent for teaching, a talent for understanding how software works to how to educate yourself. By educating yourself you’ll be better able to teach others how to use the internet to generate leads, work software and other forms of the internet to make their business succeed. By branding yourself and being confident you will generate more attraction to your businesses. Branding yourself means instead of calling up friends and family to introduce them to your business you just hang out with them. When they ask what you do for living don’t tell them. Say, “If I told you I would not make as much money.” Soon their curiosity will get the best of them and you’ll be able to introduce them to what you have to offer. Not only will friends and family be curious about what you do for living you can also use that strategy on the Internet. By being someone of value and someone willing to help others more people will see what you have to offer and be more interested in your business opportunities.
By using an automated system you take the pressure off yourself. You can learn how to create massive traffic and exposure to your businesses on autopilot through simple internet technologies. By building relationships with people you can turn them on to the simple Internet Technologies and other people to help them build their businesses. This means you don’t have to pressure anyone and they will join because they want to because they see value in what you have to offer. Remember to be open with what you learn and be willing to teach others your strategies and techniques. Building relationships means being able to give.

I have been around multilevel marketing for the better part of my life. My parents are in the multilevel marketing business. They built quite a successful business and it was all done by building relationships first and then selling the product. In today’s world it is a little more difficult to do multilevel marketing the old style way. The old style way is great and has its uses but with the global internet community there is so much more opportunity to succeed.
The first thing to do is get into the right state of mind. Stop thinking about getting rich quick; no more thinking about getting just five more in your down line etc. Remember you want to build long-term relationships. You can achieve this by helping others reach their goals. Educate yourself on all the important tools and materials out there about your business and about what software is out there to help your business reach its full potential. Use your own circumstances as a teaching tool. Explain your struggles and what you have done and learned that helped you overcome them. Be confident, free and open with your advice.
Second, while the hours spent away from home prospecting and trying to generate leads are going to be gone you still need to remember that this is going to be work. You will need to spend time communicating with your leads over the internet, through e-mail and/or on the telephone. You will need to work generating lots of leads. You pick your pace and you pick your style and be confident in what you do and you will learn how to connect with people and build lasting relationships; the foundation of your business.
Third learn how to use the Internet. There are automated programs out there that can help you dominate the web and funnel more leads than you thought possible into your business. Use the internet to connect with people with sites such as linked in, facebook, my space and twitter. Setup a blog and start writing about your business. Write articles and post them to all relevant web sites. Set up a funnel that will allow you to introduce your affiliate web sites as well as your main business, in doing so you have two chances to generate leads times however many articles of information you have produced. Remember the more articles and information that you have out there the more sources you have pointing back to your main web site.
You can be successful. You can help others to succeed. You can educate yourself. You can be yourself and build relationships that will take you to the next level. Change your mind set, use the internet, educate yourself and be prepared to work hard. Once you set up your funnel you can spend more time connecting with new leads, building a business and spending time with your family. If you are having troubles finding leads for your business sign up for my free training and see the system I use. You will never be in lead poverty again!
