For example, you can approach someone who is looking for some extra money as a prospective distributor for your down-line. They will probably consider it as it is a good source of passive income. Or, if you are selling makeup, you can approach salon and beauty parlor owners with your products and services as you are more likely to make a sale there.

Now, it is time for you to figure out your target audience. People who need more income like college students or stay at home parents looking for something productive to do are good prospective distributors. People who make use of the products you are selling, for example, parlor owners if you are selling makeup, are the good target audience for your products.

Now, you have to figure out where you can find the target audience. You can find college students on college campuses. You can find your other target audience in online groups, etc. No matter what strategies or methods you come up with, you should always keep your target audience and their needs and desires in mind and how you can help them.
