A major key to success in network marketing is being in a position where you have enough quality prospects checking out your opportunity daily. The so-called warm market, those people we know and come in contact with, can be one of the most effective ways to grow a business. Unfortunately, many networkers, especially those new to the industry flat out refuse to make a list of people they know to approach.

There are a number of companies that generate mlm leads and sell them to networkers. Unfortunately, the leads from most vendors have been of less quality than expected. Disappointing results can come from purchased leads being sold to many more networkers than expected, outdated (I've even received dead people on lists advertised as fresh leads), or prospects who are not even interested in network marketing. To top it off, for networkers on a limited budget, buying leads may not even be an option, even if they can find a reliable source.

We have had far better success training our team to generate their own quality mlm leads. New networkers need a system to follow. We teach proven methods that are fast and easy to use. The following are three free marketing methods you can implement to generate a daily supply of top-notch mlm leads.

Free Online Classified Advertising. While there are a large number of Internet websites offering free classifieds, I have had consistent results with only two, Craigslist and Backpage. They are a lot alike, and provide a large number of categories for ads in a large number of cities. Both have specific requirements for advertising content and the category a type of ad is run in.

Article Marketing. This has proven to be one of my favorite and most effective marketing methods. You write informative articles on subjects that you know well, and then submit them to article directories. Each article has a resource box which includes links to your website or blog. It's a great way to generate many mlm leads.

Video Marketing. You can record your own videos using a webcam or inexpensive video camera. You can also label a video with your web address or phone number. Then you submit your video to video sharing sites such as YouTube. YouTube is quickly becoming one of the highest traffic sites on the Internet. Making videos is an ideal way to build a relationship with prospects and drive traffic to your website.

Lack of quality prospects is a common cause of slow network marketing growth. Consistently implement these free business-building techniques and you will generate a flood of motivated mlm leads.
