In finding the best MLM lead source, we examine how the Internet's social networking sites are affecting the network marketing industry. In particular, we wanted to know if these sites are useful for generating MLM leads. Also, what are the top sites to be involved with at this time? Finally, we show how attraction marketing brings all the pieces together.
The Internet is fundamentally changing the landscape for the network marketing industry. Unfortunately, most MLM distributors have yet to address how to build their business successfully using the Internet. Nearly all still depend on conventional recruiting methods and are creating most of their leads using the "3-foot rule," in which they approach individuals they encounter each day about the business. Although a minority, a number of network marketers have become successful using purchased leads generated online by "leads companies."

Now, as increasing numbers of MLM distributors are participating in social networks, a curiosity has developed in how to use attraction marketing and to leverage the social media websites for their MLM business. James Humphrey of the BlogView.com, and who is an attraction marketing consultant, specifically recommends concentrating on FaceBook, YouTube, Digg, and Twitter as the best MLM lead sources.
Of these, the best MLM lead source is currently Facebook, principally because of its popularity. Facebook has over 350 million active members (those who have returned to the site in the last 30 days). After establishing an attractive profile, participating in groups and making friends are the important activities that will produce results on Facebook.
Another critical social networking site is YouTube. Video marketing is currently the hottest worldwide trend on the Internet, and enormously important in attraction marketing. There are in excess of 1 billion videos on YouTube and various other websites, accounting for 60% of all Internet activity. At this time, videos are given high rankings and evaluated within minutes by the search engines. In addition to making valuable and inspirational videos yourself, you can recommend and/or contribute to others' content through your annotations and suggestions.
The third best MLM lead source is Digg. You may not have heard of this one if you're new to the "scene," but should be making friends and finding out about them on Digg, as with Facebook. Search out interesting articles on MLM (or your business area) and initiate or become a contributor to others' content "threads" in areas of similar interest.
Fourth and perhaps becoming best known to most is Twitter. You need a Twitter account, since the search engines rank your comments (or "tweets") here almost as highly as in videos. Use Twitter to support the previously mentioned social networking sites by "tweeting" your own and others' content that you find helpful.
The key to achievement as you participate in online social networking is establishing yourself as a contributor and adding value. As you become attractive to others, you accomplish "attraction marketing." Others are most attracted to you when you share yourself "from the heart" and your personality clearly resonates with them. When you follow these guidelines, you'll begin to receive back much more than you can possibly hope to contribute and as prospects select you as the best MLM leader for them.
