I’ve written a lot about the importance of traffic generation, and creating a traffic funnel to your opportunity website. Most Network Marketers understand the simple concept that “generating more traffic will ultimately generate more leads and prospects.
That leads me into the discussion of “conversion†– or more specifically, [tag]how to convert traffic[/tag] to qualified prospects.
In this writing, there is no way I’ll be able to spell out all of the techniques I use to build a “[tag-tec]Targeted Prospect[/tag-tec]†funnel for my Network Marketing Opportunity. I am often asked how I convert my traffic into living, breathing, prospects who are truly interested in my opportunity.
First of all, I don’t have special “tricks†that I use to build a steady flow of [tag-ice]quality prospects[/tag-ice]. I hate sales hype, scams, and all the ridiculous superficial manipulation gimmicks that are often perpetuated by distributors who probably just don’t know any better. The [tag]MLM Industry[/tag] is a good industry, but certainly we have our share of problems that we need to clean up.
I use a very simple strategy to [tag]convert traffic to prospects[/tag]. It takes a little longer to build, but it works- and works well. It’s not necessarily a strategy, because it’s something I do naturally and is not fake. I will expound on in greater detail later in future writings, but will share a general foundation statement on what I do. (I share more specific training in my [tag]Easy Traffic 101[/tag] Course, and in my [tag]Traffic Report Newsletter[/tag].)
Basically, my web and blog sites are a reflection of who I am. I write on topics that are important and have meaning to me. By virtue of my interest I my topics, I generally am able to share a little passion that is personal, and real to me.
So the key for me is… I don’t necessarily try to convert my visitors with “slick talk†or hyped-up sales pitches. I break the ice with my visitors, and hopefully give them a good idea of who I am and perhaps – if they want to work with me in my opportunity.
Web 2.0 is all about building a community. I suggest that you write on things you like, and have some knowledge on the topic. If you write naturally and share your passion, you will be rewarded with prospects that feel comfortable with who you are – and will want to know more about your [tag]Network Marketing Opportunity[/tag].
