This article is first in a series of articles designed to help the new or the seasoned network marketing distributor learn effective ways of filling their pipeline with qualified leads. If you are tired of approaching your friends, neighbors, and relatives about your opportunity and you do not want to waste time and money purchasing over-prospected leads lists, then it is probably time to learn something new. Time to find a system that is based on educating you on exactly how to market yourself and any business both online and offline. Time to develop skills that will serve you for the rest of your life.

Automated network marketing prospects- if you are a network marketer, these words could be music to you ears. But, if you or your upline is stuck in the "old school" ways of MLM, then your marketing plan probably just consists of "telling everyone you know" and by no means is it automated. This may be a good strategy for some, but for most people, it simply just turns them into one of the 97% that fail at MLM, which is a shame because the network marketing industry truly is a fantastic industry and it has so much to offer. It is not a scam and most often, you will find tremendous products within network marketing companies. The problem usually arises for people when they can't figure out how to find prospects and the idea of cold-calling is not only frightening, but it is also something that very few people can do well.

So how do we get automated network marketing prospects into your database? It all starts with something called a "Landing Page". This is a website where people go to see brief information about you or your opportunity. This is not a place for you to tell your entire story, but rather a spot where they can see a 3-4 minute video or read a paragraph or two (video usually proves to be most effective) and then they can "opt-in" if they want to learn more about you or your company. "Opt-in" simply means that they are giving you permission to contact them by providing you with their name and email address or phone number. You want to provide just enough information to get them curious about what you are doing. A "hook" if you will (yes, it's just like fishing). Take a look at http://www.onlineprofitstrategy.com

"Well," you say to me, "I already have a website for my opportunity." Ok, that's great, but does your website simply provide your prospect with a bunch of information and no way for you really link to the reader? Then it is up to you to try and figure out how to follow up with that person and you are left sitting there and wondering exactly what you should do next, right? You are not even sure if the prospect went to the site or is interested at all. Been there, done that and guess what- that system is probably not working too well for you.

Are you tired of handing out videos to people who say they will watch them but they never do? Isn't it frustrating trying to convince people you know or meet to actually take a look at your business? Do you ever think to yourself that there must be an easier way? Well, there is! The problem is that most people do not know about it and the vast majority of seasoned MLM veterans are afraid to try anything new. But, technology has changed, the economy has changed, and if you don't change right along with it then you will forever lose prospects to other network marketers and other opportunities.

Here's the best part... A landing page works for you 24/7. You can get qualified prospects while you sleep! That's the perfect leverage system. Now you ask, "How do I get people to go to my landing page?" An excellent question and one that I will answer in future articles. Remember, this is just part one in a series of articles designed to fill your pipeline. The landing page is just the beginning. My suggestion to you is to click on my profile and get on the email list to receive notifications when my future articles are released.
