Several days ago I received this question from one of my subscribers:
Hi Burke,
First of all thanks for offering to answer questions.
I think that it is great that you offer your
assistance. My question is What methods or advertising
do you find is most successful in getting targeted
traffic and converting that traffic into buyers? I
don’t mind investing in advertisement if I will get a
decent ROI.
Thanks,
Margaret G.
Thanks for the great question Margaret! As you know I am a big proponent of not spending a ton of money on advertising, until you have some revenue coming in. This is the biggest pitfall of most MLM’ers - they spend themselves right out of business.
So lets talk about getting free MLM leads. First I want to define what a “free” lead means to me. A “free” lead means that even if I have to spend money to generate the leads, I will at least break even - but preferrably generate a profit - from this lead even if they never join my primary business.
You have to have a way to monetize your leads or you will go broke before you even have a chance at success in this tough business. You can monetize your leads a number of ways from selling your own information product to sending them to other sites where you will generate commissions as an affiliate.
Now that we have that covered, I will share my favorite method with you that I use all the time. Please understand it is my favorite method “right now” - I am always looking and testing to find other streams of leads and traffic.
My favorite method right now is List Joe. When you sign up for List Joe you will be able to email other members of List Joe. You generate credits in the system by visiting the sites other people are promoting when you receive email from List Joe. You can then exchange these credits at a one to one ratio - which means if you have saved up 300 credits, you can email 300 random List Joe users.
If you really want to ramp it up, be sure and take advantage of the “one time offer” that is displayed when you first sign up. You only get one chance, so be sure you have your credit card handy when you sign up. I took this offer and it is worth every penny of the $197 that I paid for it! It allows you to send to 3,000 random List Joe members every 3 days. Plus you you can also earn additional credits by reading the emails as described above.
I can easily earn 700 to 1000 credits a week, so we are talking about some major reach by using this system. Everytime I send an email using List Joe I generate leads and make some cash!
If you have any questions about the system, be sure and leave me a comment below!

So its that time of year again for the annual Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. Both of my boys are active in Cub Scouts, so this will be our third year of racing. We have learned a ton over the last few years, and the boys want to go all out to win it big time this year.
Last night we sat down to plan our strategy for this year, as the race is a few weeks away. We opened the box the cars came in and began to study the raw blocks of wood, the axles (nails) and tires.
I started talking to them about the key factors that affect the speed of their cars. We discussed the role of friction and where friction is created in their cars. We came up with the following: wheels to axle, wheels to body, and wheels rubbing on the track rail.
If you wondering at this point how this relates to your network marketing business, hang on just a bit and I will bring it together.
Once we had identified the sources of friction we started talking about how we could reduce the friction at those points of contact. We decided to polish the axles, use graphite and be sure that the wheel to body contact point was very smooth and had a film of graphite on it as well.
After I tucked them in for the night, I began to reflect on friction in business, especially building a network marketing business on the internet.
For your business to succeed, there are a couple of big points of friction you need to “oil”:
Lead Generation - you need a constant flow of new leads or prospects coming into your system. Once you have this part mastered, life gets much easier. Imagine what 20 or 30 new leads a day would mean to your business!
Incoming Cash - Your business must have cash to survive - this is not negotiable. When generating leads online, you need a way to profit from those prospects even if they never join your primary business. You can do this simply by promoting other peoples products as an affiliate, or really explode your income and create your own product. You must pursue cash at all costs - it is one of the biggest points of friction and if you don’t your business will die.
Once you “oil” these two points of friction in your business - amazing things will begin to happen. You can begin to work from a point of power - the power that having lead abundance and positive cash flow will give you. People will be attracted to you, because of the solutions you can provide them.
So get out that oil can and get started turbo charging your Pinewood Derby Car - or business today!
Looking for a great way get started generating leads online? Check out Magnetic Sponsoring today - it will revolutionize your business!

The other day, after a tele-seminar I conducted I received this question:
“How do I get started using the Magnetic Sponsoring system? It looks like I have to purchase a book before I can use the system, is this correct? Could you give a quick review of the Magnetic Sponsoring Online system?”
This is a great question, and I will do my best to provide a comprehensive review of Magnetic Sponsoring. Before we get started I want to be sure you understand the basics behind why you would use a system like Magnetic Sponsoring to generate highly targeted MLM leads for your business.
As you are probably aware, most network marketing companies do not pay out a substantial amount of money when you sponsor a new associate, instead the real wealth from MLM comes two or three years down the road as the residual income and duplication from your team begins to really kick in and give you tremendous leverage.
Because of this you can feel like you are spending tons of money each month for autoship expenses, business building tools, etc. but your not actually making money - which is why you started your own business to begin with.
But there is another part to the equation other than generating income. The other part has to do with targeted leads. If you have been purchasing leads from a lead company, you know the quality you are getting, my experience is that they typically are terrible! Now imagine if you could generate targeted leads, leads that will spend money, leads that understand the hard work required to grow a business. Do you think this could change your business?
You bet! If you are plugging into Magnetic Sponsoring you need to be driving traffic to your landing page. The most targeted traffic you can drive to the page is people that are already involved in MLM or network marketing. They are looking for a solution, and you will provide that solution to them. When they purchase the Magnetic Sponsoring book, you will make a hefty $20 commission - and believe me the site converts really well (about 20% to 50% of signups will purchase the book). You can see how the money will add up fast with enough traffic.
Yes, you have to purchase the book before you can start using the system to generate your own leads. But don’t worry, I promise you it will be the best dollars you have ever spent on yourself! The book literally knocked my socks off when I first read it - and I have read it several times since then!
Once you have purchased the book, get plugged into the prospecting system. It is free to use, but the downside is that you get very little training on generating traffic - which makes sense because you are not paying a monthly fee for the system.
The biggest benefit is that you will instantly be perceived as a leader by your prospect. This helps greatly when you place a phone call to them or send them an email. In fact, get ready because you will have leads calling YOU! That is the power of a system like this.
I hope this quick review helps you understand the Magnetic Sponsoring system. Those that get the best results, simply dive in and get started. Remember, none of these systems are magic bullets, you have to still put in the effort to make them work!

I received a phone call today from one of my subscribers. We had a great conversation, but the core of the conversation centered around the feeling he had of being overwhelmed. This is a common problem when you are first getting started generating your own leads on the internet.
The problem is that there is so much information out there about list building and traffic building you can easily become overwhelmed and not have a clear picture of where to get started.
I will share with you exactly what I focus on and recommend that you focus on to get started and keep from getting distracted.
Step One: Get plugged into a generic lead generation system. The top two that I have used are:
- Power Prospecting System
- Magnetic Sponsoring
The best part of these systems is that you don’t have to design your own landing page, get web hosting and all those other things that take a big learning curve. This is all provided with these systems, and is actually one of their biggest benefits.
Step Two: Once you have your account set up with one of the generic systems noted above, it is time to focus on traffic generation. Your number on concern should be generating as much qualified traffic to your personalized landing page at these systems - more traffic = more leads = more money = more signups in your primary business.
All of these systems have a product or element that is offered for sale to your leads. When one of your leads purchases this product, you get a healthy commission - which puts money into your pocket.
I want to be sure and clarify one important aspect of these systems. You HAVE to purchase the product to be able to use the system, and some of the systems have monthly fees associated with them. It is very important that you understand the amount of time you will save by plugging into a premade generic lead generation system. Time is money after all.
All three of the systems I mentioned have also been thoroughly tested and tweaked to maximize the conversion rate of the products and signups. Bottom line, don’t be afraid to spend a couple of bucks to give yourself a jump start!
Simply eliminate your feelings of being overwhelmed and just get started with one of these simple systems!

As often happens I received a call from a guy that wanted to “talk shop” about the network marketing industry. As typically happens, he immediately launched into a high pressure sales pitch to get me to join his network marketing business. I let him go on for a while, then I turned the tables on him and led him through a series of questions.
The first question I always ask this type of person is this: “Are you buying MLM leads?”
Invariably I get the same answer over and over. Yes, I buy 100, 200, or even 500 leads a month - the answer varies per person. However when I ask the next tough question, how many people have you sponsored and how long have you been cold calling these leads, the answer is almost always the same - ZERO! Sure there is the rare person that has sponsored people, that is if they are actually telling me the truth.
The cold hard fact is that most of us will never be able to sponsor enough people with purchased leads to grow a substantial organization before we run out of money. Even if we do sponsor people, how many of them will actually have the stomach to do what we have done? Not many!
In fact when I first got started I had spent thousands of dollars on leads, hours and hours on the phone and I was scared to death! I had no idea what I would do to help a new associate get started when I finally did sponsor someone. I felt physically sick when I realized that I was leading others down the same dead end path I was on.
You have doomed your MLM business to fail if you are purchasing MLM leads and only calling them one time - with no other way to make money if they don’t join your primary business.
This is exactly why I turned to the internet and put myself in a position of lead abundance and positive cash flow. No longer do I hang on each new lead and act from a position of desperation - the internet allows you to completely change your mindset.
Once you start generating your own leads, and stop buying expensive un-targeted MLM leads - you are now in charge of your destiny. The easiest way to do this is to plug into a generic prospecting system that does all the work for you.

Your upline is keeping a big secret from you. It is a secret that has the power to kill your business, but they don’t care.
What is the this powerful secret?
It is a secret that you will probably never learn, until it is too late. The secret is that there is an incredible revolving door in this industry - the MLM or Network Marketing industry. In other words as fast as people are joining your company, many are quickly leaving. Have you ever had a new associate just go missing in action? They simply disappear, never to be heard from again. That is the revolving door in action.
But you know what? It simply does not matter to your upline sponsor. You see he has hundreds of suckers like you spending hard earned cash to recruit just enough people that will stick around to give him tremendous leverage and massive growth.
So what typically kills the hopes and dreams of a new associate? Negative cash flow. Thats right, how long will someone want to stick around when they are literally bleeding cash for monthly autoshipments, buying expensive leads, buying CD’s and other promotional materials. Typically income in the MLM industry will come, but just not immediately - they entire industry is really set up for long term wealth building, but this does not help when you need cash now.
So how can you virtually guarantee that your new associate will stick around long enough to both help grow your Networking organization, but also to allow them to enjoy the residual income that we enjoy in this industry?
You put them in a position to start earning cold hard cash as soon as possible - even the very first day they are in business with you! How do you do this?
Simple…you generate massive qualified leads online, and then lead these prospects through a funnel that puts cash in your pocket whether they join your business or not. This is the massive leverage that we can enjoy when prospecting on the internet.

If you are just getting started coming to the realization that you will have to be online to generate the quantity of leads you need to grow your MLM business at a record pace - you are most likely completely overwhelmed. So much to learn about building web sites, getting web hosting, uploading pages - it can easily add up to so much to learn that you simply don’t make any progress.
Did you know that you can easily begin to generate leads even with no website? Here are two options:
1. Create a digital ebook or report that you can sell on Ebay. This does not have to be something elaborate - it could be as simple as interviewing someone successful in your upline or downline and recording the call. Share some tips on how to build your MLM business - be sure it is something that would be valuable to the buyer. Then simply set up auctions on Ebay to sell your digital product. I would recommend selling it for between .99 cents and $7.00 depending on the quality of the information. Once the auction ends you can simply email the product to the buyer - and then follow-up with them from there! This is a very simple formula for generating 5 to 10 hot MLM prospects a week.
2. The second way is to simply plug into one of the many prospecting systems available on the internet. These systems typically allow you to both generate MLM leads for yourself, but also make cold hard cash from these leads even if they never join your primary business. They do this by selling a product and giving you handsome commissions as an affiliate. I have written a free report that reveals exactly how I do this - grab your copy of “Rejection Free MLM Marketing Secrets” <==Click There!.
With a little research it is very easy to start generating prospects for your MLM business within just a couple of hours. You just need to find the system that meets your needs and automates the process for you. Be sure and get your copy that shows you one of the system I use to generate MLM leads everyday!

If your still building your network marketing business using the tired old school methods that have been around since the 70’s - it is time to step up your game and get started with a network marketing internet system.
Most network marketing companies teach basically the same system. I am sure that if you are involved in MLM you will recognize a training system that teaches things like building your names list, purchasing leads, cold calling, the three foot rule, hotel meetings and a multitude of other tired techniques. Now I am not saying these don’t work, they do, but not for everybody.
If you have tried these and failed, or you simply don’t want to use these techniques you should really start looking into a internet based system for your network marketing business. If you do a search for such a system you will quickly be overwhelmed by the dozens of options available on the market.
Here are three things to look for in a network marketing internet system:
1. Generic Prospecting System - Unless you can find a top notch system that is prebuilt for your specific MLM business, you will want to look for a system that is generic. By being generic it will allow you to market any business that you may change to in the future - always something to consider, you must protect yourself and your business.
2. A Funded Proposal Opportunity - Since it can take a bit for you income to really kick in from your network marketing business, you need a way to generate income outside of your business. By generating quick income it will help both you and your future associates to be in a position of power and strength. This will allow you to stay in the game long enough to enjoy the benefits of the residual income that your network marketing business will provide.
3. Traffic Generation Training - If the system comes with a complete training system and team training, this will also be of benefit to you. You will not have to spend so much time training new associates, allowing you to continue to focus on your business.
By plugging into a great system it will also allow you to position yourself as a leader. People will join your team because they know, like and trust you OR you have a system in place that they can see themselves plugging into.
Now that you can see the benefits of plugging into a network marketing internet system, get out there and get busy growing your business using one of the top notch systems available!

In my book, there is no better way to build a network marketing business than to use the internet to literally attract new associates to you like a magnet. What I have seen is that people have a hard time getting started when they decide to build their business in this manner - there is simply to much information available and they wind up in paralysis by analysis and make not headway towards their goal.
If you want to generate 10 to 20 new leads a day into your marketing funnel, you need to focus on traffic generation to your landing page. Of course once the visitors lands on your page, you need to have the page carefully crafted to entice the person to hand over their email address and name so you can followup with them, but that is a subject for another day.
Traffic is the lifeblood of a internet mlm business, so lets take a look at two very simple ways that you can generate a flood of traffic to your pages.
Write Articles
I encourage all of my new team members to get started writing articles immediately. By writing quality articles and distributing them to the article distribution sites, they will benefit from instant traffic as they are published, and residual traffic over time as other sites pick up their articles and post them.
MySpace Marketing
Remember, network marketing is still based on relationships even if you are building your business on the internet. There is no better place to build relationships than many of the Web 2.0 sites that are popping. Of course the grand daddy of them all is MySpace. You don’t have to have any special web design skills to get your profile page set up and active. Get it made and then start making friends. Don’t hammer everyone with a heavy handed marketing approach - show value and people will be attracted to you naturally.
By using just these two simple techniques you will be able to start a regular flow of traffic to your landing pages. It is best not to get caught up in every new “traffic craze” that the gurus are trying to sell you on. Just stick to the basics and before you know it, you will have more leads than you have ever had and your team will be growing at a record pace!
Discover the revolutionary turn-key MLM prospecting system that builds your business on auto pilot! Generate hot exclusive leads, earn multiple streams of income, explode your traffic AND promote YOUR primary business for free.

If you are looking for simple ways to start generating leads and growing your MLM business on the internet you really need to take a second look at using MySpace to grow your business.
When I first heard about MySpace I always thought it was only used by the younger, teenage and college crowd and there was really no serious exchange of information. After all it seems that every time you hear about some whacko on the news, they always show their MySpace page as a part of the story.
I was completely wrong. When I started digging into MySpace as a way to generate leads and form relationships with like minded individuals, I realized that there is a ton of excellent information available, and strong friendships to be formed inside of MySpace.
Here are a two tips to help you get started using MySpace to grow you MLM business:
1. Reach out and get involved. The fastest way to get involved with others on MySpace is to join a group. There are groups for just about any area of interest, and there are dozens just in the “making money” and “network marketing” area. Join some groups and get involved in the discussions.
2. Start sending messages to those that interest you. There are some really interesting profiles that have been created. Find one of a like minded individual and get the conversation rolling. Don’t just pitch your business from the start, think about creating a friendship first and then go from there.
Marketing on MySpace is a very powerful approach, but you have to be careful. The best way is to have a very nice profile page, keep it focused on your business, but don’t be afraid to show your personality as well. Remember, this is a social environment, and you need to have some fun as well as conducting business.
