Purchasing guaranteed sign ups for your MLM downline-building campaign seems simple enough. You search for “guaranteed sign ups” on Google, compare the prices for bulk guaranteed signups, and then make your purchase based on price, right?

Unfortunately, it isn’t quite this simple. If this is the approach you take to finding MLM guaranteed signups, you more than likely will be ripped off by scammers who advertise their bogus MLM leads through Adwords or other publisher networks.

It’s a sad fact, but there are many scammers and spammers masquerading as MLM lead sellers. For this reason, you will want to look out for the following things the next time you purchase MLM guaranteed signups for your next downline-building campaign:

1.Are the leads “geo-targeted” and is there any way in which you can verify that this is true? Many MLM lead services will sell you completely non geo-targeted leads if you don’t specify. This means none of the MLM guaranteed signups you receive will speak English. This is obviously a significant problem for a number of reasons. If you can’t verify that they are geo-targeted, you may want to move on to the next service.

2.Are the leads being co-registered for your program without their knowing about it? Again, this is quite a frequent problem with MLM lead services: they will co-register your leads by pre-checking a box, which, if not checked off, will automatically add them to your downline. Obviously, the quality of these leads will be poor.

3.How are these leads solicited? You will definitely want to figure his one out. If your leads are being solicited through email spam or other forms of spam, you will be liable if said leads report you to your MLM program. In most cases, your account will be terminated.

4.How long has this site been around? — Is there anyone YOU know who can vouch for the quality of the leads? Again, MLM-related services seem to attract a lot of scammers. You may find that some supposed lead-generation businesses actually only rail your site with a robot to generate page views or image views. You may find that others will take your money and never return your emails. Do yourself a favor: don’t get into one of these situations. Do your due diligence before you make any purchase.

5.How long will it take to deliver said MLM leads? Some lead generation companies are very unspecific about this. In some cases, they will slowly drag it out over the course of several months and then stop responding to you altogether. Make sure you have a clear agreement for the delivery date.

While the vast majority of Internet-based service and product sellers are completely legitimate, there are a few specific industries that suffer from a considerable amount of spamming and scamming. MLM and MLM lead generation definitely suffer from this problem.

If you’re worried about purchasing your next batch of MLM leads for this reason, do not despair. Simply look out for the finds outlined above. And, no matter what you do or don’t do, make sure that you ask a friend who has used such a service before. Find out what actually works, not what testimonials say will work. In many cases, scam sites will fake testimonials, too.
