So how does giving away a free report work? Read on…

There is a saying that it is more blessed to give than to receive. This is true in lead generation. When you give away free and useful information, people trust you and believe in you. You get to brand yourself as a network marketing leader.

It is also a very good way to increase conversion rates when you are selling a network marketing related product.

One of the biggest reasons why it is so effective is that you get to send them emails over and over again. But when I say sending emails, I don’t mean spamming. Rather, you have placed them in your newsletter where you get to keep in touch with them regularly. You get to do a lot of follow ups with them – and you can do all this on autopilot, using scheduled mailings and settings on your autoresponder.

Here are a few useful tips on how you can craft your free report and get people to opt in to your newsletter.

• Find your target market. If you are giving away a free report about your network marketing product, make sure you target the right people. For example, if you are targeting people who are having energy problems, you can write a report that teaches you how to get more energy using Vitamin B complex.

• Write a report that contains useful information regarding your network marketing business opportunity or your network marketing product.

• CONSTANTLY DRIVE TRAFFIC! This is one of the most neglected steps when it comes to giving away free reports. Since you’ve already created a free report, make sure you drive more traffic.

• Write a powerful squeeze page. Make sure your squeeze page is benefit driven and it conveys the information to your prospects.

• Make sure your squeeze page contains a compelling headline as well. Check with your network marketing upline or your company on what the psychological triggers are for your target market.

• Look for sources that you can drive traffic - article marketing and classified advertising is particularly effective because you can use your bio box or squeeze page URL to capture leads.

• Make sure your follow up emails contains useful information as well.

Remember, your goal is to build a solid relationship with your prospects. Don’t focus too much on selling your business – your free report should be education driven, not sales driven. You can leave a link at the end of your free report – to soft sell your main network marketing product as well.

But just how useful is it? First, let’s look at the figures.

The Tell a Friend script gets installed on your opt-in form. Then, when someone register and opts-in, they will have the option to refer 3 or more friends to your lead capture page. These 3 referrals then get a chance to view your lead capture page and they can join your subscribers’ list – and this is achieved all by leveraging the efforts of other people.

So, you’re thinking this mean that you get up to 3 times the number of leads? You won’t believe it but you can get loads more than that!

If one person refers 3, those 3 might opt-in and get ANOTHER 3 each – making a total of 9 new subscribers! When those 9 then refer another three each, you will have 27 and then later 81 and so on! And on and on!

Of course, these figures are hypothetical – but even if you only succeeded a third of the time, you would still be managing to grow your subscription rate far more quickly than without Tell a Friend script.

This is the power of duplication on the Internet – just like in network marketing!

So what is the best way to use the power of the tell-a-friend script and watch your business grow? First, write a special report (usually about 10-15 pages long) about your company’s business opportunity to set the bait for getting prospects to opt in to your mailing list.

Next, give them the free report in exchange for their primary email address and a chance for them to collect another free gift (perhaps another free report) when they refer three of their friends to your landing page.

If you don’t want to write a free report yourself or don’t want to pay a ghostwriter to do the work for you, you can even obtain private the label rights to network marketing E-books and re-brand them with your own name as the author.

Where do you obtain Tell a Friend scripts? Look around for a good viral product – one product that is very popular is Mike Filsaime’s Viral Friend Generator.

With these tools, you can start driving huge traffic to your website – the key is to submit articles to article directories with your lead capture page or landing page in the author’s box. You can also get a lot of traffic from other people’s blogs by posting comments (useful comments… don’t spam) on their blogs or by exchanging links with them.

And as long as people find your free report useful, they will be more than willing to share it with their friends or even their downlines! This is the way to build up a great reputation as an expert, too.

Once you’ve set up your Tell a Friend system, you can start to divert all your traffic from blogs, articles and other sources to that page and watch as your leads and prospects increase. After all, network marketing is about word of mouth, and word of mouth works just as well online!
