How To Generate Leads For Your Network Marketing Business Using Social Media

In this post I discuss How To Generate Leads For Your Network Marketing Business Using Social Media

Here are the 4 steps you need.

  1. Choose your preferred social media platform. Facebook and LinkedIn are great examples.
  2. Learn and apply a lead generation technique that actually works.
  3. Commit for a specified period of time.
  4. Scale up by applying paid advertising strategies.

How To Generate Leads For Your Network Marketing Business Using Social Media is simple.

But it is not easy.

It is simple because you can learn one effective technique for example – and then repeat this technique over and over and over again. And get great results.

It is not easy because of this one thing: People focus on results, when they see little or no results, especially at the beginning, they QUIT.

Here’s the thing.

The first step is to generate the leads. I will show you how to do that in this post.

The next step is to CONVERT the leads. You will need to convert your new leads into either customers or distributors. Converting leads is not the same as GENERATING leads. I show you how to convert your network marketing leads in this post.

Generate leads first and then convert them later. Then you will see results. That is, some of your Leads will go on to become your customers or your new Distributors.

Ugo’s Top Tip : So long as you are using an effective strategy, always continue to focus on the activity. Not the result.

How To Generate Leads For Your Network Marketing Business Using Social Media.

PART 1

Step One – Choose your preferred platform.

Decide what social media platform you are going to use. I focus on Facebook and YouTube. You can do the same or you can use other social media platforms such as LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram or Twitter.

There are differences between the platforms. One obvious difference is the level of interaction required.

If you decide to use YouTube to generate leads, you will predominantly be delivering video content and responding to comments from your viewers / subscribers.

If you decide to use Facebook as your platform, you will predominantly be delivering content as well as responding to comments as well as responding to messages. In fact, the more interactive you are on Facebook, the better.

In you can, focus solely on one platform until you are happy with it. Focus on one platform until your are able to generate leads consistently from that platform and then you can consider moving on to another platform.

Step Two – Learn a technique

Learn a Technique to Generate leads on the platform that you have chosen to learn. The basic technique on most social media platforms is the same. I will use my CLAM Facebook technique as an example.

  1. Comment on a post that you find relevant.
  2. Like the post.
  3. Add the person posting to your Friends list by sending an invitation.
  4. Message them with a complement and a question in order to start a conversation and build rapport.

The 4 steps above are effective. I explain the above CLAM Facebook technique in more detail here.

Step 3 – Commit yourself

Commit to a period of consistency. We’re not talking short term here either.  Think 1 year or 18 months or 2 years as a minimum.

Most people on social media will not do business unless they know you, like you and trust you. So as you can see, it will take multiple contacts with the same person, possibly over several days before they transition to becoming your customer or joining you as a Distributor.

Add to this the fact that if you want to consistently add several customers to your business and if you want several Distributors to join your business, you will need to keep going consistently for several, several months.

PART 2

Step 4. Scaling Up

Generating leads online for your network marketing business has 2 significant advantages versus generating leads offline.

First, there are BILLIONS of people online so you have access to endless leads. No matter where you are in the world or what time of day or night it is, someone somewhere will have a conversation with you if both of you are willing. This is therefore a very flexible method of lead generation: the ability to generate leads anytime, anywhere.

The second is scalability. Not only can you generate leads at anytime and from anywhere, with an effective advertising campaign, you can reach thousands of prospective customers or prospective Distributors quickly. And if you train your Distributors to do the same, you could possibly have one of the fastest growing teams in your organisation.

To launch paid advertising strategy you need 2 things

  1. An advert
  2. A budget

Yes, it truly is that simple.

Copywriting is the art of writing good adverts (good copy) and I discuss good copywriting for network marketing here.

Never, ever think that you do not have a budget to advertise YOUR own business. Set you budget small at first if you must. Most people can afford $50 per year to get started building and promoting their Network Marketing business. You can do this too.

Then take a part time job to pay for more ads. As you make money in your network marketing business, invest your earnings back into your business. Scale up your advertising budget and scale up your business. Increase from $50 per year to $50 per month spent on advertising your network marketing business to $50 per week to $50 per day to $50 per hour spent on advertising.

Advertising your network marketing business on social media.

Advertising your network marketing business on social media can be easy as pie or it can be complicated as hell. I know because I’ve been there.

The simplest way to promote my network marketing business on social media that I have found is to use Facebook and create a FACEBOOK PAGE. Facebook pages are similar to a normal Facebook profile. The important difference is that posts on Facebook pages have a BOOST button next to them. This BOOST button is visible only to the page owner.

If you press the BOOST button located next to your post on your Facebook page, Facebook will take you through a simple process where for a small sum eg $7 or so, maybe more, maybe less,  you can allow Facebook to show your post to A LOT MORE PEOPLE than would otherwise have seen you post.

A Facebook BOOSTED post on a Facebook page is effectively an Ad shown to other Facebook users. Of course you can set your budget for boosting your posts according to your circumstances.

Now here’s another thing: You can choose who you want to see your Ad. If there are a lot of working mums in your network marketing opportunity then it makes sense to boost your post such that it is seen by thousands of working mums in your area. Does that make sense?

How To Build Your Network Marketing Business Without Fear

In this post I will discuss How To Build Your Network Marketing Business Without Fear.

Well done. You are reading this because you have ACCEPTED that you have some fears in your network marketing business.

And quite likely, you are worried that these fears may hold you back and limit the ability of your network marketing business to grow.

If you were in denial that you had any FEARS, I’m afraid that it would mean that you have a very, very long way to go in order to OVERCOME YOUR FEARS.

However, KNOWING and then ACCEPTING that you have a fear is called having INSIGHT. Having insight means the prognosis is good, very good indeed.

What are some of your fears in building your network marketing business?

Let’s look at some common fears that you may have whilst building your network marketing business. Note that having a fear can lead to even more fear. Don’t get caught in a fearsome vicious circle.

Fear of rejection leads to fear

Fear of failure leads to fear

Fear of success leads to fear

Lack of confidence leads to fear

Lack of technical knowledge (knowledge about the company, knowledge of the compensation plan, knowledge of the products, lack of any technical knowledge) leads to fear

I too have fears whilst building my network marketing business.

Ugo’s Top Tip: What I have found is that the easiest way to overcome my fears is to SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING.

If things are complex or confusing, fear and doubt inject themselves into our minds. And then things begin to spiral out of control. We begin to procrastinate. We avoid our daily tasks. Our productivity slides. We stop promoting. We stop finding new customers. We stop finding new distributors. We stop being successful.

Overthinking

Overthinking things is an easy way to change a simple idea into a complex one.

Overthinking things is an easy way to change a simple task into a complex one.

Ugo’s Top Tip: Stop overthinking things.

Network marketing is a simple business. We are not creating the next Amazon or the next Tesla or the next Space X or the next Microsoft. We are not sending a man to Mars. Not yet anyway.

We are simply doing 3 things:

  1. Talking to people.
  2. Listening to them for any problem issue or painful problem they may have.
  3. Offering them a possible solution.

That’s all we do. All day, every day.

Focus, focus, focus on these 3 simple things and you will never be bothered by fear in your network marketing business.

  1. Talking to people.
  2. Listening to them for any problem issue or painful problem they may have.
  3. Offering them a possible solution.

How To Build A Strong Organization In Your Network Marketing Business

In this post I discuss How To Build A Strong Organization In Your Network Marketing Business.

A strong organisation in network marketing is a growing network marketing business that is full of buying customers and active distributors.

Training

Training matters. The network marketing model is a simple one but it requires skills that need to be learned. You need to work and you need to market and you need to do these things correctly.

Submit yourself for training. Encourage every one of your team members to attend training. Training does not start nor does training end. Training must be ongoing throughout your network marketing career.

Training must always cover:

  • Product knowledge
  • Opportunity knowledge
  • How to Market / How to promote knowledge

Mentoring

Mentorship for your customers and for your distributors is essential.

Your customers can be easily mentored by adding them to an approved customer Facebook Group or other such support group. Plug them in. If no such support group exists, create one.

Your Network Marketing Mentor is a website specifically for mentoring network marketers. Share this website with your entire network marketing team.

Promote events

Network marketing events occur online and offline. Some events may be organised at corporate level. Some events may be organised by leaders in your network marketing company. YOU may organise events yourself.

Events include several items on the agenda such as product launches, important announcements, recognition of achievements, distributor awards and so on.

Events allow fellow network marketers to meet one another. Events can be both motivational and inspirational. Events can help build the network marketers vison. Events turn an ordinary network marketer into a fearless distributor.

Always promote events to your entire team.

How To Build A Strong Organization In Your Network Marketing Business.

Do these three things: Training, Mentoring, Promoting events and you will build a strong organisation in your network marketing business.
