In any business; online, offline, MLM, retail or service - you need to have a system that allows you to both leverage your time, and provide easy training for new employees or associates. If your involved with MLM you understand that as your team grows, so does the amount of time you spend training your new associates. You need to have a system so that each new person receives exactly the same training in the same manner - whether you do it, or your downline does it.

So what does a MLM recruiting system look like if you are building your business on the internet? For my team I use a three step system that everyone plugs into, and the best part is that it is automated.

Step 1 - Traffic Generation

Without traffic going to your web site, your business will be dead in the water. The old saying "build it and they will come" simply does not apply to the internet. So the first step in my system is to teach my new team members how to generate traffic to our landing pages. At first I only teach them how to leverage Web 2.0 and generate buckets of free traffic. Once they start earning some income to cover advertising expenses we branch off to cover paid sources of traffic.

Step 2 - Viral Traffic Generation

In addition to the traditional traffic generation system like article marketing, MySpace, Facebook, etc. we also plug into Viral Traffic Generators. These type of systems give you credits or page views. You accumulate these credits as people sign up using your link and activate their own accounts. Do you see how well this fits into a MLM marketing plan? As you team grows, you get more credits which equals more traffic to your landing page.

Step 3 - The Funded Proposal

It is very important that your system include a funded proposal. A funded proposal system allows you new team members to be in a position to profit from their leads, even if the lead never joins your primary business. Making income outside of your MLM might be a new concept for many. However, as you know most MLM companies have a minimum monthly expense to keep active - in other words you must purchase something every month. This can quickly get expensive for the new associate, and if the financial pain threshold is hit, that new associate will disappear. However, if you are using a funded proposal, it will not be hard for you new associates to earn enough to cover their monthly MLM expenses. By allowing them to earn money quickly, you will help that new associate stay in the game long enough to enjoy the residual income that is offered by network marketing.

If you follow and implement these three steps for your own MLM recruiting system, you will soon find that you have more time, more new associates, and more money than you ever had before!
