If You’re Using Social Media As An MLM Lead Generation Method And Not Combining SEO, You’re Missing The Boat

Anywhere you go on the inter -web lately, you can see people really talking up the power of social media platforms as an MLM lead generation haven. Until relatively recently, I have ignored these medians and am just now getting my feet wet. I am starting to see the true benefit of using these sites, but am amazed at the amount of people that are using this technique and ignoring how simple it would be to use SEO to capture residual traffic from the buzz they generate on the social media sites. Instead of just posting on one of these sites, you could create a blog and post the content there and then post a link on the social media site of your choice. By doing this, (assuming you have proper anchor text) you are in effect able to transfer the buzz from that site to your own, which can help you with the search engine rankings.

Great, I am already busy, you’re trying to get me to do what?

The way to get the number of MLM leads coming in you desire is to combine a multitude of marketing avenues. If you only post the article on the social media site, then that site is the only one that receives the benefit from the buzz. However, if you have it on your blog and then the social site, the benefits are passed to your site through the anchor text, which helps your SEO rankings.

Did You Know?

Did you realize that nearly one half of Google’s ranking formula comes from social media votes and relevancy? In the good old days, it was enough just to set up your site so your on page and off page items were correct. Doing this would get you ranked on the search engine. Now however, if you ignore the social media aspect of SEO, you will never ever see any results or leads coming from the search engines.

You Mean, I could already be getting rankings from what I am doing?

Capitalizing on the SEO benefits of social media are not really that hard. Instead of posting your great content directly on a social media site, you need to post it on something you control. A blog, Hub page, or Squidoo lense could be one these places. Put your info on there and then post a link back on the social media sites you are working. If you do this, you can capture the buzz your content is getting where it will directly help you the most.

What does all this mean?

A great portion of people are taking advantage of social media to generate MLM leads, but they are overlooking the fact that the work they are doing for social media could be capitalized on from an SEO standpoint with little additional work. Buzz on social media sites is short lived, but rankings on search engines will provide your business with a powerful MLM lead generator into the future.

2 reasons holding people back from using SEO are they think it is way to difficult to learn and most people want instant gratification. While the results aren’t instant, the benefits will pay dividends longer than any other free MLM lead generation source.
