Don't Be Stupid and Buy Leads

Many months ago I made a stupid mistake in buying leads for my network marketing business. I was very anxious to get started just like you may be but trust me, buying leads is the way to go. Take your money and invest it in another marketing strategy that will bring better results.

The biggest disadvantages in purchasing leads, is that you really don't know where they came from and you don't know what the individual was offered to become a lead. So, when you go to call the leads you bought, some of them are not looking for a business opportunity, some of them don't remember filling out a form, and some of them are really frustrated because you are the seventh person that called them about joining a business opportunity. Also, if you look at the cost of leads these days are pretty affordable and that alone should be a red flag because if they were all that the sellers say they are, they would cost a whole lot more.

Think about this, you have invested money in starting your business and have begun to work hard on developing your business; do you really want to talk to people about your opportunity that are not qualified to be a part of your team? When I say not qualified, I mean they are not business minded and most likely don't have the same vision as you do. Most of the leads that you will purchase will not be genuine leads but will be people that I call suspects; this was my experience when I made the mistake in buying leads.

The bottom line here is that you have to educate yourself and take the time out to generate your own network marketing leads. Not only do you generate them yourself, you can actually do this for free or at a very low cost. I know you may be thinking that I am pulling your leg here, but I'm not. I'm telling you the truth; FREE leads that you have generated yourself are the best kind of leads.

Here are some ways to generate free or low cost leads:
*Article Marketing
*Video Marketing
*An Effective Lead System
*$100 Bill Drop Cards
*Social Media, such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc.
*Blogging & Social Bookmarking
*Creating Lens on Squidoo
*Creating Hub Pages

All of the above mentioned resources are a great way to generate free or low-cost leads but keep in mind that it is very important that you know what to do with the leads once you have generated them and pitching your business is NOT what you should do right away.
