Are you a Network Marketer stuck in the mud? Short on prospects to talk to about your business? You may be comforted to know that you are not the only one, millions of distributors across the world are facing the exact same problem.

No one can deny that this is the number 1 difficulty we face in this industry, I struggled with the very same problem for many years before finding the solution.

When you consider that lead poverty is the main cause of business collapse, it can be quite astounding that more people haven't figured out how to overcome the problem. If you've listened or read any of the training material from Mark Yarnell you will know that the magic number is 30. Expose thirty new folks to your products and opportunity each day if you want to make it big.

Many distributors, particularly if they are new, may turn to buying leads as a solution to their problem, honestly I'd stay away from this. These leads being sold by companies are mostly burned out and harvested from generic questionnaires on and off line. Don't buy leads!

Enough about the problem, let's get down to the business of solving it!

By using the internet we can easily solve the problem, there are just so many people searching online for ways that they can create wealth and a secure future for themselves and their family. It really is as easy as positioning yourself where you can be found.

I first got online to build my business 10 months ago and started building my business using free marketing methods (content marketing). Like a lot of people in our industry I was short on cash therefore I needed a strategy that wouldn't cost any money, I did however have time to put into my business.

Here is a brief outline of how this system works

First you need a sales funnel set up, this is an automated system that will provide you with a capture page where you will generate your leads. It will come complete with a following up process, an essential part of network marketing. Essentially you will drive traffic to the system and when they arrive at your page they will be offered something of value. This will usually be a training or a solution to their lack of network marketing success (the system provides this). This is the most effective way to create your own expert status to your potential prospects.

Next you need to produce a piece of content; this might be an article or maybe a video. The important thing is that whoever finds your content should get some real value from it, it should offer them a solution to a problem that they may be looking to solve. It's also vital that your content can be found by the right person, so make sure its properly optimized for the right keywords. Lets imagine that a network marketer is searching for the term 'generate free leads', if your article or video is about this subject, it's important that it shows up for this key phrase.

You then should syndicate your content to as many places as possible, this may be to article directories or maybe video hosting sites, plus also the social networking sites. Its a lot of work syndicating your articles and videos to hundreds of different sites but no fear, there are many different pieces of software (many free) that will do it all at a click of a button.

If you carry these steps out correctly on a consistent basis you can generate all the traffic and leads you want. You just need to learn how to put it all together and execute the strategy in the most efficient way possible.
