Introduction to List Building Strategy

In this video, I’m excited to share a step-by-step strategy that will help you create a massive list in no time. We’re diving into the concept of the list ladder, a powerful tool to accelerate your list-building efforts.

Building a massive list quickly is crucial for anyone looking to expand their reach and influence. Whether you’re a seasoned marketer or just starting out, understanding how to effectively grow your list can make all the difference.

So, buckle up as we explore my account and uncover the secrets to successful list building. Let’s get started!

Initial Results and Team Overview

Let me take you on a quick tour of the initial results I achieved in just over thirty days. Spoiler alert: it’s pretty exciting stuff! I managed to sign up a total of eighteen members—four of whom are paid, and fourteen are free.

I have signed up, eighteen eighteen members.

With this small but mighty team of less than twenty people, I was able to generate over two thousand leads. Yes, you heard that right!

With this very small team, less than twenty people, I was able to generate over two thousand leads.

Now, I must admit, some of these leads are duplicates, but hey, who’s counting? The key takeaway here is that even with a compact team, you can achieve significant results.

In this section, I’ll walk you through how you can replicate these results with your own team. So, buckle up and get ready to dive into the world of lead generation with a small but effective team!

Generating Leads and Verification Process

Generating leads is a crucial part of building a successful business, and I’ve managed to generate over 2,900 leads with a small team. Let me walk you through the process so you can do the same.

Steps to Generate Leads Effectively

Start Small and Test: Begin by testing your lead generation strategy. I started on December 4th and tested the process to ensure it worked. Testing is key to understanding what works and what doesn’t.
Track Your Progress: Keep an eye on the dates and the number of leads you’re generating. For instance, I started seeing results by December 8th, with five leads, and it grew from there.
Leverage Your Network: Once you start bringing in leads, encourage them to bring in others. This network effect can significantly boost your lead numbers.
Consistency is Key: By December 18th, I was consistently getting 100 leads every day. Consistency in your efforts will yield results.

Importance of Lead Verification

“These are verified leads, not junk leads.”

Verification is essential. Leads are only valuable if they are genuine. Ensure that each lead verifies their information, such as by confirming their email. This step prevents junk leads and ensures you’re working with real potential customers.

Examples of Lead Generation Success

From December 8th to January 6th, I saw a steady increase in leads, reaching a point where I was receiving a hundred leads daily. This success is replicable if you follow the outlined steps.

By following these steps, you can effectively generate and verify leads, ensuring that your efforts translate into real business opportunities.

Importance of Key Team Members

In the world of lead generation, having the right team members is like having the perfect ingredients for a recipe. You don’t need a lot, but you do need the right ones. As I always say, “You need to sign up key people who are gonna do the stuff that this it is critical.”

Take Matthew, for example. He didn’t just dip his toes in; he dove headfirst and signed up twenty-three people. This wasn’t just a number; it was a catalyst. Thanks to his efforts, I benefited from a whopping 115 indirect leads. This is the magic of a multi-level approach where leads pass up the chain, creating a ripple effect of growth.

Role of Key Team Members in Lead Generation

Key team members are the backbone of any successful lead generation strategy. They are the ones who take action, bring in new leads, and help expand the network. It’s not about signing up everyone; it’s about finding those who will actively contribute.

Identifying and Nurturing Key Individuals

Finding these key players involves identifying individuals who are motivated and ready to take action. Once identified, nurturing them with the right training and support is crucial. This ensures they are equipped to generate leads effectively.

Impact of Active Team Members on Lead Growth

The impact of having active team members is significant. With Matthew’s 23 direct sign-ups leading to 115 indirect leads, the potential for growth is exponential. Imagine if each of those 138 people generated just one lead a day – that’s 138 leads daily!

In conclusion, whether you’re getting zero leads or over a hundred a day, the strategy remains the same: focus on building a team of key players who are ready to make things happen.

Identifying and Targeting Key People

In the world of lead generation, finding the right people can make all the difference. If you learn to identify the key people, then you can have a team that helps you explode your leads relatively quickly. It’s not hard. You just have to know who to target, who to go after.

How to Identify Key People for Your Team

The first step in building a successful team is identifying those few key individuals who can bring in the numbers. Most people might not contribute much, but there are always a few who stand out. Look for those who are already bringing in 20 to 30 people, like the examples mentioned in the transcript. These are your potential stars.

Strategies for Targeting and Engaging Key Individuals

Once you’ve identified potential key players, the next step is to engage them effectively. Talk to them about what interests them and how they can benefit from being part of your team. Make sure they understand the value they bring and how they can grow with you.

Importance of Targeting the Right People

Targeting the right people is crucial. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about finding those who are motivated and capable of bringing in others. By focusing on these individuals, you can create a ripple effect that significantly boosts your lead generation efforts.

By following these steps, you can build a team that not only supports your goals but also helps you achieve them faster. Let’s dive into the details and get started on this journey to success!

Finding potential leads on social media can be a game-changer for your business. The key is knowing who to target and where to find them. Once you have these two pieces of information, the process becomes much smoother.

Who to Target

Start by focusing on company products and the leaders within those companies. Think about products you use or know, especially those tied to affiliate marketing or MLM opportunities. Some well-known companies include ACN, Amway, Mary Kay, NowSite, and LiveGood. In affiliate marketing, programs like Legendary Marketer and Home Business Academy are popular choices.

Ask yourself:

Who do I know that is promoting a product or service with a business opportunity?
What products or services am I using that have an affiliate program?

Where to Find Them

Your phone is a great starting point. Scroll through your contacts and look for names that might be associated with a product or company. You don’t need a lot of people, just the right ones.

Go on your Facebook page. Click on your friends and start just looking through your friends.

Facebook and LinkedIn are also valuable resources. Check your friends and connections to see who might be involved in promoting products. This is the fastest way to expose people to your opportunity.

You can also explore Facebook groups, school groups, and LinkedIn groups to find potential leads. These platforms are essential for discovering what people are doing and how you can connect with them.

By leveraging these strategies, you can quickly identify and connect with potential leads, setting the stage for successful engagement.

Searching Facebook for Leads

Searching for leads on Facebook can be a game-changer if you know how to navigate it effectively. Let me walk you through the process, and I promise it’s easier than finding a needle in a haystack!

First, head over to the Facebook search bar, which is conveniently located in the top left corner. This is your gateway to discovering people who are promoting products you might have forgotten about.

“You’re gonna come over to Facebook search, which is the top left hand corner.”

Step-by-Step Guide

Make a List: Start by listing the names of companies or products you’re interested in. This will be your search foundation.
Search for Groups: Enter the name of a company or product into the search bar. For example, if you’re curious about ACN, type it in and hit search. Initially, Facebook will search everything—posts, people, photos, etc. But we’re interested in groups, so click on the ‘Groups’ tab.
Identify Common Friends: Once you’re in the groups section, look for any friends you have in common. This can be a great way to connect with people who are already in your network.
Join and Engage: If you find a group with common friends, consider joining. Check out who’s posting and who holds authority in the group. Befriend them and start a conversation.
Repeat the Process: Go through your list of affiliate products, like NowSite or Legacy Builder, and repeat the search process. Each time, remember to switch to the ‘Groups’ tab to find relevant communities.

Tips for Success

Leverage Existing Connections: It’s often easier to connect with people you already know, even if they’re just Facebook friends.
Engage with Authority Figures: Look for people who are active and have influence in the groups. They can be valuable connections.

By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to building a network of potential leads on Facebook. And remember, whether you know them well or they’re just a Facebook acquaintance, reaching out can open new doors.

Next, we’ll dive into how to engage with these groups and build meaningful connections. Stay tuned!

Engaging with Groups and Building Connections

Engaging with groups and building connections is a crucial part of expanding your network and finding potential leads. Here’s how you can effectively engage with groups and build meaningful connections.

Importance of Engaging with Groups

Joining groups that align with your interests or business goals can open doors to new opportunities. Whether you’re part of a group with familiar faces or diving into a new community, the key is to engage actively and thoughtfully.

Building Meaningful Connections in Groups

Start by identifying groups where you already have some connections. For instance, if you’re in a group like the Home Business Academy, check the members list. Begin with those you already know, like friends or acquaintances, and gradually expand your network.

“Join a few groups and start to look for who’s constantly posting on a regular.”

If you’re new and don’t have existing relationships, don’t worry! You can still make connections by joining groups related to your interests, such as affiliate marketing. Look for active members, especially those who post or comment frequently, and start building relationships with them.

Strategies for Effective Group Engagement

Identify Key Members: Look for admins, group experts, and active participants. Building a rapport with these individuals can be beneficial.
Be Genuine: Avoid blind pitching. Instead, introduce yourself, express your interest in the group, and share valuable insights or resources.
Leverage Tools: Use tools like ChatGPT to generate helpful content or tips to share within the group.
Engage Consistently: Regularly participate in discussions, comment on posts, and offer help where needed. This consistent engagement will help you stand out.
Expand Beyond Facebook: Consider other platforms like LinkedIn or specialized forums where similar groups exist.

By following these strategies, you’ll be well on your way to building a robust network and uncovering new opportunities. Remember, it’s not about the quantity of groups you join, but the quality of connections you make.

Reaching Out to Potential Leads

Reaching out to potential leads can feel like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s a straightforward approach to make those connections without overthinking it.

First, start with a question. This is your icebreaker, and it doesn’t need to be complicated. For instance, you might ask, “What product or program are you promoting?” If you’re in a group where you know the focus, like ACN, you can tailor your question accordingly.

Once you’ve asked your initial question, it’s time to ask for permission to share. This is a simple one-two step: question, then share. You might say, “Would you be interested in being a beta tester for our viral leads platform?” This platform can help them get leads for their programs, making it an easy sell.

“You’re first gonna ask the question, and then you’re gonna ask permission to share.”

The beauty of this method is its simplicity. You don’t need to build rapport or dive into personal details. Just ask your question and then share your offer.

You can reach out through various channels—chat messages, text messages, or emails. The key is to use the same method you used to find them. If you’re unsure whether they’re still promoting something, just ask.

This approach is not only easy but also effective. If they’re interested, they’ll ask for more details. If not, you’ve still made a connection. Remember, it’s all about asking the question and then seeking permission to share.

Using the List Ladder to Promote Offers

Welcome to the FAQ section where we tackle the burning questions about our list building strategy. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty!

How does the whole thing work?

Ah, the million-dollar question! The list ladder is your trusty sidekick in promoting multiple offers, including your own. Think of it as a ladder of products where you can strategically place your core product alongside others. This approach taps into the idea of multiple income streams, which many find appealing but often don’t know how to execute. The list ladder simplifies this by providing a ready-made list of potential customers you can reach out to via email and other channels.

Can I use the list ladder to generate an email list quickly?

Absolutely! The list ladder is designed to help you build an email list swiftly, allowing you to promote your offers effectively. As you grow your list, you’ll find that it expands beyond your initial network, reaching people who may not even be aware of your program. This rapid growth is the magic of sharing leads.

What if the people I know are in the same program?

No worries! Initially, you might find that your contacts are part of the same program, but as they start promoting, the reach extends beyond, attracting individuals unfamiliar with your program. This is the beauty of the list ladder—it grows fast and broadens your audience.

How quickly can I grow my list?

Fast! Some have seen their lists grow to over two thousand people in just over thirty days. The initial contacts might know your program, but the new ones won’t, giving you a fresh audience for webinars or other promotions.

What do I get when I join?

In the world of social media, crafting the perfect post can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But fear not! Let’s dive into some effective strategies to make your posts stand out and attract those elusive leads.

One of the most effective techniques is the “two-step post.” This involves sharing a snippet of information and then engaging with those who respond. For example, you might post something like:

“Looking for traffic and leads? 🚀 I’m testing a NEW system, and it’s working like CRAZY… Over 1K leads in 21 days, Want to See?”

The idea is to spark curiosity and encourage interaction. Even if you haven’t generated a thousand leads yourself, you can still leverage the success of others as social proof. Just be honest about your experience. You can say, “I discovered a new system, and it’s working like crazy,” and use testimonials or videos as proof.

Creating Engaging Posts to Attract Leads

Engagement is key. In one of my posts, I had 67 comments, with about 30 people asking for more information. This allowed me to share links and further engage with potential leads. The trick is to keep the conversation going and provide value.

The screenshot below shows an example of a successful post. It’s all about sharing results and encouraging others to join in. As your list grows, take screenshots and share updates. This not only builds credibility but also keeps your audience engaged.

Remember, as your team grows, more people will share their results. Feel free to “swipe and deploy” these strategies, adapting them to fit your style and audience. Happy posting!
