One of the most common things I’m asked about these days is where a person can utilize free MLM advertising. The current economic situation has brought more and more people into network marketing; however, many of those coming in find themselves in a place of financial hardship. Their situation presents the challenge of building a profitable MLM business without the benefit of using paid methods of network marketing advertising, such as pay-per-click.

In the past, finding yourself in this situation would leave you with only friends, family and acquaintances to market to. Although this can be a warm market, this tends to be a very limited market. Fortunately in today’s world the avenues of onliine promotion are bountiful and offer great opportunity. Some of the top producers in the world of online MLM have built their businesses using nothing but free MLM advertising methods and strategies.

Today I want to give you three powerful forms of no cost advertising that will give you powerful leverage for building an online network marketing business. Just bear in mind that even though you are not investing money, you do need to invest some time and effort to make these things truly work for you.

The first free tool is an MLM blog. The blog should really become the nerve center of your online marketing. All other forms of marketing that you utilize should point back to your blog. The key to making an MLM blog work is content. That content needs to be regular and relevant to network marketers. Your blog is the place to present yourself as knowledgeable in your field, by providing content that is both helpful and beneficial. Content should be posted regularly to keep your readers coming back and to help in your search engine rankings. Each blog post should be guided by keywords that you have researched for their search demand. This research will help you to keep your content relevant to what people are searching for. The more you are able to give information on the topics being researched the more valuable your blog will become to the reader.

The second free MLM advertising tool to be utilized is article marketing . Article marketing involves creating content that is 300-700 words in length on a particular relevant topic. Again your keyword research will guide your articles. For the sake of working smarter, it is best to write 2-3 variations of each of your blog posts and utilize one of those variations for your article submissions. This effectively creates an entirely new piece of content. This article is then submitted to article directories, that are used by bloggers and ezine publishers who are looking for new content. The resource box of the article is the place for you to link the article back to the original blog post. This will aid in boosting the search engine ranking of your blog as it creates backlinks to your network marketing blog.

The final free source of network marketing advertising is social media. Social media is the meeting place of the 21st century. Through social media, relationships are built and fostered. At the very minimum a network marketer should have a Facebook page. Begin searching for others who share interests in the keywords related to MLM and make friend requests. Simply begin a dialogue with these individuals with a focus on being yourself. This is not a place to push your network marketing business or opportunity, but simply a place to nurture relationships. Your profile information should point people to your blog to learn more about you. You will also want to link to your latest blog posts on your profile.

When this three pronged strategy is used effectively, these methods of free MLM advertising can produce incredible results. The best part is they cost you nothing but a little time and effort. The other benefit of each of these methods is the lasting value of the content you create. The articles and blog posts you create will remain in cyberspace for years to come, directing prospects to you and your business.
