Cheap MLM Leads: How to Get Them

In today’s post, I’d like to discuss how to get cheap MLM Leads.

I personally believe one of the primary reasons so many people quit (notice I didn’t say fail) our industry is because they don’t have enough leads to talk to, or they don’t have the required skills to talk to their leads effectively.

If every network marketer had a steady supply of leads, there is no doubt in my mind they would have much BETTER results in their business than they are currently getting.

Today, I’d like to solve your LEADS problem by teaching you different ways to get cheap MLM Leads. Keep in mind, it’s up to you to develop the skills and learn how to approach your leads. Talk with your successful upline to learn how to do that.

What is a Cheap MLM Lead?

In my opinion, a cheap MLM Lead is a lead that costs you less than 50 cents per lead, and ideally no more than a few cents per lead. Keep in mind, there are only two types of leads in network marketing: those you generate by spending your time and those you get by spending money.

In most cases, I’ve found that spending money is better than spending time, because you only have so much time in a day! Time is money.

I’d rather see you buy 100 leads for $10 and spend your time contacting them, than have you spend hundreds of hours to generate 100 leads on your own. Make sense?

Why Do You Want Cheap MLM Leads?

I am a big believer that quantity leads will lead you to quality leads. I have purchased expensive MLM Leads before, and not ONCE have they converted better than cheap leads.

You want cheap leads, so you have a lot of people to talk to about your products and business opportunity. This business is a numbers game. You must go through a LARGE amount of people to find the right people.

Plus, you want enough leads, so you have extras to share with your team members. Chances are, most of your team members are struggling with leads too. If you can help them solve their lead problem, your business will grow. And, retention will improve.

Another reason you want cheap leads is so you can stay within your marketing budget, and not go broke buying leads. I personally believe it’s smarter to buy 1,000 aged leads for $20 than it is to buy 50 fresh leads for $100.

If your contacting and phone skills are good, you can convert a decent number of prospects, whether they are fresh or aged leads. And, if your phone skills or contacting skills suck, it doesn’t matter whether you have fresh or aged leads; your results will not be good.

My # 1 Way to Get Cheap MLM Leads

My # 1 way to get cheap MLM Leads is to buy them. For example, I recently purchased 250,000 aged USA leads for $200 from a popular lead company. I divided them among many of my team members and give each team member free leads. This keeps everyone busy and helps keep their pipeline full.

There are several lead companies online you can shop from. They all sell aged leads. Many of these leads are 15 to 90 days old, which is perfect. Why? Many of them are still looking for an opportunity. Chances are, many of them were never contacted by anyone before you. You just need to smile and dial or send them a text or email.

If you don’t have $200, get twenty team members to each contribute $10 and then divide the leads equally. Or, purchase a smaller amount of aged leads that aligns with your budget.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, these are my thoughts on cheap MLM leads. The bottom line is you need a steady, fresh supply of leads to share your products and business opportunity with. There is not a right or wrong approach. You must figure out something that works for you and focus on that.

  1. Great tips and I love the auto-email tip. I am going to really apply this because it is all easy work that doesn’t take that long to get going. I don’t want to waste time here! Thanks for this. I will bookmark this page and come back.

  2. I enjoyed this article because I am a type A personality! I want to be in control – control of generating my own leads, handling things on my own, etc. With a capture page, auto responder, and a lot of hard work (training and motivation), I think it is possible to cut down on your lead cost. For anyone who wants to be in charge of gathering their own leads, this was a great post. Thanks for sharing!

    1. I can relate to you. I too am someone who like to control or at least have a say in all aspects of my business. So when it comes to generating leads, having the power to do that myself is quite appealing to me. And the fact that I don’t have to go broke in order to do so is even more attractive as somewhat of a newbie in the MLM world. It is great that there are tools out there for people like us that allow us to oversee what is happening but without doing exorbitant amounts of work.

      1. Generating your own leads is appealing..and also the fact that you can do it at low cost. I have been with another company where I had the option to buy leads, I did it every month and I can say it didn’t work out well. I would have rather used that money on another source. I believe generating the leads is the way to go.

  3. My experience with buying leads is that, even when the claim is they are qualified to be seeking your product or service, they weren’t, or the lead was really, really old. It seems to me that by generating them yourself through an autoresponder, you have already completed a pre-qualifying activity that makes the information already more valuable to you.

  4. I appreciate this step by step guide to purchasing and using MLM leads. I don’t think that I had a very strong understanding of the matter and thus I was not really looking into it. It is good that you have advised people that the cheapest isn’t generally worth the investment because it is lacking in quality. Yet also the idea that the most expensive is the best is also a good point to get across. Many people get fooled into paying more because they are under the perception that more money equates to the best. Thanks Charles.

  5. I am most happy you excluded buying genealogy lists from your ways to get good, cheap MLM leads. Like you said, you get no guarantees when buying leads and so generating your own is a much cheaper and safer way to do things. With that in mind, why people still bother to buy those lists at all is beyond me.

    1. People buy genealogy leads because they don’t know any better. In most cases, their sponsor or upline recommended it. I’v even bought some myself in the past, but never had much luck with them.

      Chuck
