The internet is the best lead generation ever created. It will allow
you to target your market and open the whole world for you. If you are
not using the internet for your lead generation effort then you are
still fighting with a sword in 2006!
1) Make sure you send your visitors to a Webpage where they have the
option to get something for free so you will have to chance to contact
them by phone and follow-up with them automatically through auto
responders.
2) There are two major ways of getting visitors to your website: Paid and Free.
- It is going to cost you either money or time!
- You have to judge which one do you have more?
The following is what I have found to be productive for me over the years:- Forums: by visiting forums and getting involved in discussions, you
are allowed to have your signature file. If you help other people and
provide information then they want to know about you and they will
visit your website.
- Visiting blogs and commenting on them:
For example, if you comment on my blog you are allowed to have a link
to your website and you can get some of my website visitors to check
your website. You can visit multiple blogs easily and comment on the
posts.
Go to blogsearch.google.com or to any other blog
search engine and you will find plenty of blogs about your particular
interest.
If you are commenting on anyone's blog, be sure have a nice comment! ;-)
- Article writing: You can write articles about your product or your
opportunity and post it in the article directories and send it to ezine
publishers.
- Get a blog and start writing your
ideas about the products of your network marketing company or your
opportunity. You can have one for free if you are short on money; there
are plenty of places to make your free blog. Check www.blogger.com and
www.wordpress.com
-
Traffic exchanges such as
Traffic Swarm: this will allow you to click on other people’s
advertisements and you get credits and other people will see Beware of all the spy wares though. Time wasting
- Paid per click programs such as Google adwords, Overture and other minor ones. Paid per click advertisements are those advertisements on your right
side that you see in search engines under the ’sponsored links’. Paid
per click will allow you to bid on ‘keywords’ and the one who bid
higher he gets his website higher on the search engines ads.
* This
method will get you immediate traffic but may waste your money!- Newsletters advertisements: You find ezine or newsletters about
your topic of interest and you place an ad. You can use top sponsor ad
or a solo ad. Before you pay any ad for any ezine, subscribe to it so
you appreciate the quality and what type of people is reading it.
Again you test and evaluate!
- Press
releases: You can make a press release about your products or your
opportunity. There are free press releases but I found them ineffective
personally. When you pay like $80 then you get significant exposure.
One of the major press releases websites is
http://prweb.comAll in all.......marketing yourself online can be dome successfully in many ways. The above are merelt some suggestions based upon what has truly worked for me over the years.
The days of calling leads all day - trying to convince the person on the other end of then phone that you have the answer to their prayers are gone! (thank god!)
Have a blessed and productive day!
