This is a good source to set up an automated funnel from cragslist. The only problem with this system is the mediocre quality of leads.

However, I'm generating an avg of 15-20 leads daily and I send them straight to my primary opportunity presentation. I always probe a prospect and get their temperature to see if they qualify before sending them to watch the presentation, but with the quality of leads it's beneficial for me to do it this way.

Out of the 15-20 leads only about 7-10 actually watch the full presentation. And I don't count those 7-10 people towards my "law of averages" because I've yet to sign anyone using this method.

But I've only used it for two weeks and i am getting leads and people are watching the presentation which is telling me if I tweak the system and spend more time tracking, I'm sure it'll work. I've also got them on my email list so I'll generate a sale one way or another.

I have to say social media is still hands down my best source of leads. It takes an incredible amount of discipline because it generally is not fast, but when you build a real relationship not just shoving links, you create relationships and real sign ups that stay!

That's a no no Angela, no affiliate links your comments. Please remove. Thanks.

for me, http://www.trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?1053401 is probably the biggest paid lead generator (you can sign up for a free account, but I don't have time to click all day) and the biggest free one is classified ads (get them placed in bulk with fiverr gigs) and my website with lead capture page.

Dear Harry,

That is not an affiliate link. It is a tutorial.

Thank you

You taking a shot at me Bozo? I mean Eric? Well, craigslist is pretty much crap for leads, and no offense, there so many bottom dwellers there to rip people off, or whatever, the police monitor Craigslist. Anyway Bozo, I mean Eric, thanks for the non-informative info.

P.S. Plus trying to get good leads from craigslist just seems desperate to say the least, and even if craiglist was the last place online to try and get leads from, I would rather market offline than stoop to that level. Craigslist is so way yesterday, and has been crap for years now, so I just don't get it? Really. Chaio. HF

Haha...No....I wasn't taking a shot at you...I signed off as bozo....just having fun! And yes, I do agree with you about the quality of leads. But I do think I'll get at least one signup if I pay more attention to it.

Ok Bozo, I mean Eric. Anyway, the page that is set up for it is professional at least, but again, if the cops are monitoring a site, it's probably not your best source of leads if you know what I mean.

True Story, lady finds a ipad online through craigslist and then meets the guys selling then cheap for around 99 bucks or some price like that, she gets what she thinks is an ipad (because it says ipad on what appears to be a machine in the box the guy shows her briefly) and then takes her money and takes off.

It was a piece of wood painted black exactly the same size and shape as an Ipad, and he took off, she opened the box all the way to find out she had "been had" as they say.

Another true story. This guy had an iphone he was selling and met some guy on craigslist who wanted to buy it He met the guy behind a gas station and the guy beat the crap out of him and just took it, so there you go. Moral of the story, don't go shopping on craigslist unless you want a beating or a piece of wood. LOL!

I could go on and on because there was so much crime going in with craigslist, they have to monitor it now for fraud and ripoff schemes going on constantly there.

So with that, have a great weekend Eric, and tell Bozo to go home.

Chris makes the most sense that I can see here. You are posting in areas where everybody and their brother are doing some bizop or 10 of then, or whatever so you get little or no response, because after all, their deal is the best since sliced bread and the wheel and nobody can tell them differently even though they haven't make a plug-nickle to speak of working for hours and hours and even months and months on end to work for free in their home based hobby.

I know what I do, but when I find something that really works, and it is all based on a lot of hours and consistent hard work, you don't really want to reveal details to people competing with you for the same kinds of prospects right? Anyway, it's knowing how to spot things and building successful business is based on leads converting to prospects, then to members of your team and customers as quickly as possible. Kinda like turning tables at a restaurant as quickly as possible to get to the meat and potatoes with minimum time and effort as hard as that may be.

Anyway anybody can get leads one way or another, but knowing how convert the leads is the skill that most lack, and the best leads are the ones that are looking for what you have possibly and you can get them eventually on the phone to speak with them or face to face ideally. And again, most "choke" so to speak with the pressure is on even a little and never make very many if any sales.

That's not me speaking, that's just reality, and the truth always hurts the most, and most people online are not living in reality, but a virtual reality they think will work, and are like the hamster on the wheel that is running hard and thinking they are going somewhere, but in reality, they are in denial and their little bizop is still their work from home for free hobby, and it never gets past that. Even worse, working for free and spending money and never measuring daily progress and results, and changing.

People get comfortable in a home based hobby, and never really want it bad enough to get uncomfortable on a daily basis to make things happen, they are just "posting and coasting" as I say and sharing their little tidbits of knowledge, and that may get them little traffic and some company for awhile, but if they are really looking for more than just socializing and really doing business, they are going to have to get a lot of "NO's" and the "NO" will be said many different ways, and they can't handle it, and handle following up, so therefore their business is dead from the "get go" and they don't even know it.

They don't know what they don't know, and it takes way more work and leads, following up, and consistency than most realize, and are willing to do to build teams and a real sustaining long term business, so therefore the attrition rates, and people just give in and give up instead of personally developing into the person that they need to be to do these things.

You can have the most simplest business in the world, but people will find a way to over complicate it, and not duplicate results. You can't necessarily duplicate people, but you can duplicate results, and most never figure this important "key" out.

Anyway, with all that being said. Onward....HF

Our best lead source is split between Facebook PPC and Blogging. Combined we get up to 60 leads a day but that didn't just happen overnight.

Now depending on what kind of leads you are looking for I would say solo ads can give you a ton of leads but again it all depends on what kind of leads you are looking for. Solo ads are great for list building so you can monetize your list at a later date with smaller offers.

If you are looking for quality leads for your MLM, then I would say go the blogging route or Facebook PPC route but don't advertise your MLM use a system that will target struggling network marketers looking for solutions. Then once they opt in you can recruit into your MLM.
