How To Build A Downline
Building a downline is one of the ways you can earn a substantial income with direct sales. I tell all my new distributors is that teambuilding can be a fun, lucrative way to make money, but that does not come without a lot of work and a deep commitment to your new recruits. A support system is an absolute necessity for building a solid downline.
· Step 1
Find as many free advertising resources as you can. Look up free advertising in an internet search. Start a folder on your computer entitled "free advertising" so that you can put your favorite resources in there.
· Step 2
Look for safelists so that you can send emails that will not be labeled as spam. Join as many free safelists that you can find. Send an email out to these lists daily. Try to vary your ads so it will be something slightly different each day.
· Step 3
Start gathering email addresses by setting up your own subscription mailing list. Find something that you can give away as an incentive for customers to sign up for your mailing list.
· Step 4
Put the URL for your opportunity in your signature line of your email. This gives anyone the opportunity to click on it and see what your business is all about.
· Step 5
Find free classified ad sites and post ads in them as often as you are allowed. Try to appeal to what people are looking for that will satisfy their needs. Don't over exaggerate your opportunity. Surprisingly, people are more interested in a realistic opportunity rather than an inflated batch of unattainable promises.
· Step 6
Join forums and business networks. Talk about your opportunity without shoving it down anyone's throat. You might be surprised at how useful this can be. Although Joe Schmoe might not sign up for your opportunity, he can become a very valuable business associate that might help you in other ways. I have made quite a few of these.
· Step 7
Do some offline advertising as well. Have business cards made up and keep them handy. Place an ad in your local newspaper. Put up a sign at your grocery store at the community billboard. Make flyers and deliver them to mailboxes.
