Online Forum Recruiting Strategies

MLM Lead Generation can be done a in many different ways. I've already mentioned a few in my previous posts. I've also mentioned that we can generate leads for MLM businesses online.

Today, I'd like to speak about a specific lead source. That is online forums. There are many different forums that you can join. MySpace is one, so is MLM.com, warriorforum.com and so many others.

Here's the thing. Most Network Marketers have no clue how to promote their company in these forums and they end up spamming links to their replicated business sites or even some lead capture pages.

If you try this, you will learn very quickly that this does not work. You will end up wasting a lot of time recreating accounts and deleting hate mail.

Here's why... There are hundreds of people who are doing the same and all of this spam looks the same. There is no differentiating factor to it. Everyone seems to have the "best opportunity" and everyone claims to be making money. The reality is that they are simply posting scripts given to them and they are trying to hit the numbers.

Let's say that they do recruit someone. What will the new recruit do? Probably the same thing and it will take hundreds of spam messages to recruit one person.

Here's a better way. Set up a profile for YOU and start to participate in discussion. You don't have to pretend you are anyone you are not. You just have to give value and learn from those who have experience.

If you already have success in the industry, then you will find that it is easier to recruit online than you thought. If you can answer questions and help people get through their objections and obstacles then you can certainly gain trust and build relationships. This can definitely lead to enrollments.

If you are new, that is ok too, because there are plenty of leaders in these forums that provide very good recruiting advice. The goal is to gather phone numbers and build relationships.
