Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter and My Space, are fantastic places to generate leads for your MLM or home business opportunity.

They are free and there is a lot of traffic that is generated each day on those sites and they can be a powerful tool for your opportunity.

However most network marketers make fatal mistakes on these sites and end-up failing to generate any leads from social media because they do not know how to do it properly and end up being perceived as nothing more than spammers.

The one thing that has to be realized when using Social Media is that people are very sensitive to someone trying to sell them any MLM opportunity or product.

Twitter, Facebook and My Space is not a place where you promote your business opportunity it is where you promote yourself first, by branding yourself and building connections with people and never ever pushing your MLM business on any one you connect with unless they ask you about it and even then it should just be mentioned in a causal way just to create more interest and curiosity where they ask for a link to your site and put their name on your list.

You may ask yourself  “How am I supposed to promote my business if I can’t do it on Social Media?” The answer to this is us your blogs where you have lots of useful information that will interest people that click on your website links. Never ever send people directly from Twitter of Facebook to your capture or company page.  Send them to your blogs or YouTube channel.  On those websites you can have links to your business capture pages and other money making opportunities that you may be promoting.

Another thing to remember on Social Media sites, is that its mostly about branding yourself as an expert and a leader.  No one on those sites cares about your business, most of the people there have their own businesses and are trying to promote those.  You have to stand out of the crowd as a person of interest that has something of values to offer not just an MLM distributor that is trying to get his/her hand in their pockets.

You have to remember that people join you not the business, the business is just an avenue to make money.  Lets face it being up front and promoting your business opportunity doesn’t work on your friends and family why you think it would work on total strangers.  People do business with people they trust, that is why you first have to build connections and relationships with people on social medial networks.

If you want to promote your business upfront do it in classifieds where people are actually openly looking for MLM or home business opportunities.  That is expected on these sites and that’s what people are looking for, but not on Twitter or Facebook.  If you do promote your business openly on these sites using  DM’s or privet messages or tweets you will be seen as a spammer and lose your following of friends, that is a price you don’t want to pay because these are powerful lead generation tools if you do it right.

So remember become a person of value and brand yourself not your MLM home business, drive traffic form Twitter and Facebook to your blogs or YouTube channels that contain useful information and where people can get access to more information about you and that is where you want to have links to your capture pages.  This way you are less threatening, you will build trust and be branded as an expert and leader. 

That is when you will get more and more leads for your business and you will have prospects calling you with credit card in hand wanting to follow you, a leader, and join your business opportunity.

Here’s some ideas on how to increase you success rate.  You can actually start your entrepreneurship part time that way  you don’t  the security blanket a job.

Build up your business to a full time income, and to a point at which you actually make more money then at your current job.  This might sound like more work in the beginning but the rewards will be greater than if you worked hard for someone else.

Another way to increase you success rate is to go out and start learning anywhere you can.  You can find information in libraries, the Internet, you can find lots of free material on the Internet as well as some excellent paid resources and courses.

I do have to mention that the paid courses tend to be of better quality as you get what you pay for. Also find a mentor, someone who can show you what to do and  how to do it, someone you can learn form.  I  actually help people to be successful so that they can be profitable.  I measure my success through the success of the people I help.

Take control back in to your hands and start your own home business. The only thing that’s stopping you from being successful and realizing your full potential is you.  Yes you might hit a few road blocks in the beginning and you might not make those millions that first day, but if you persevere, and look for ways to overcome and surpass those obstacles, you will eventually hit the level of success in your business you desire.
