Generating Your Own Leads for Free…Using Classified Ads
There are many ways to generate your own leads by using free resources online, as well as offline. It’s simple enough to do, all it takes is time. When using free resources, it may take a little bit more effort on your part, but it will be well worth it in the end. When you generate your own leads, the prospect or person requesting information from you, has already been to your website or at the very least, has some sort of idea as to what you have to offer, and you can be sure that they are actively searching because they have contacted you.
I am going to cover different ways of generating your own leads. Each will have their own post. There is so much information and so many ways that I feel this would be the easiest to grasp.
The first way I am going to go over is…
Classified Ads online–There are many sites that allow you to post your ad for free. Do a simple search on google, and you will get thousands of listings. A few that I have used are…www.craigslist.org, www.inetgiant.com, www.usfreeads.com, www.AmericanClassifieds.com, www.Ablewise.com, and like I said, there are many, many others.
To get a decent response, you need to post to many different sites, and do so frequently. You can’t just post 1 ad and wait for the calls to start rolling in, it won’t work that way.
Post a simple ad that is relevant to what you offer. Think about what caught your attention, and what made you want to know more when you first learned of the company you are now a part of. I always put myself in the prospects shoes when I am writing an ad.
Include a link to your website. Hopefully you have a contact form for people to fill out when they want to know more about your opportunity or service, if not you will want to leave another way for people to contact you. If you do have the form on your site, be sure to tell them to fill out the request form if it is something of interest to them.
By using this method, you will also weed out those who are simply not interested in what you have to offer. The requests that you do receive, will be highly qualified & interested prospects beings that they already know what you do and just want to know more, or may have some questions.
Website Promotion
There are lots of ways to promote your website. You can submit your site to all the major search engines. You can add a link to your site in your Signature Line with all of your outgoing emails, as well as on any forum posts you make. One thing you need to understand if you are going to do this yourself is that it will take some time for it to really gain momentum and a constant flow of visitors.
However, there is something that I absolutely love, it gets you immediate visitors, as well as allowing others to review your site and let you know just what they thought of it, and whether or not any improvements could be made to make it better. It’s free, all it takes is about 30min to an hour each day for you to review other people’s sites in return. If you do this daily, you should average about 20-60 hits everyday. And we all know what that means…the more people that see your site, will lead to more people contacting you who are truly interested in what you have to offer.
You can check it out at LinkReferral.com Let me know if you join in, I would love to drop by and review your site.
Online Groups and Forums
Online forums and discussion groups are a really great way to market yourself and your business, or product & service. It’s simply you putting yourself out there in every way possible. You might be talking about your family and kids, or helping answer someones question that they have posted. It shouldn’t be about just “advertising” your business, there are classifieds for that. Add a link to your website in your signature line, that way those who are interested in what you have to offer will be able to request information from you instead.
You can do a google search to find different groups that are focused towards your personal interests. I will share some of the one’s that I use…
www.wahm.com/forum Here you will find a little bit of everything.
www.mywomanownedbusiness.com This is a rather new online social networking site for women business owners. (If you decide to join in, let me know and we can share together.)
www.cafemom.com Another mom site with lots of different groups to join in with.
www.mayasmom.com I really love this site. Not because it’s a great place to advertise, it’s more of a place to meet other moms, and a few dads, in fact there are only certain places that you can actually advertise your business and such. This is nice because you are not constantly hit up by people trying to sell you something. So if you are looking for a place to meet others online, and make some friends along the way, this one is great. (You can find me here by searching for my3lives)
So there you have it, just a few of my favorite places to network online. If anyone has others that they just absolutely love, please share.
Free Leads
Getting your business off the ground with little to no money to use for advertising and marketing purposes can be a bit difficult. There are many free resources and things that you can do online. It takes time and effort, but we do what we have to do, and hey it’s free.
Here are some of the lead resources that I have personally used. There are others, however these are the one’s that I have found I get better response from.
www.freeliveleads.com (10 free) These are actually really great leads from Cutting Edge Media
www.leadpower.com (10 free)
www.AdSponsors.com (20 free)
http://mhtleads.com (10 free)
www.freshinterviews.com (10 free)
www.empowerleads.com (10 free)
www.hbbleads.com (20 free) Or you can take $20 off on your first order. They also offer a Super Value Starter Pack. You get 660 leads for $34.20 (600 7-30 day surveyed leads with 60 0-24 hr. Short Form leads.
www.cemprospector.com (50 or 100 free) This one works a bit different. It’s $1 for a 30 day trial. You can get either 50 or 100 leads, depending on the system you decide to use for the trial period. (I suggest the larger one with 100 leads, you get more leads and it’s still only $1) This is a complete prospecting system, with lead capture pages, auto-responders, pretty much anything and everything all in one package. You can choose to continue after the 30 day trial, or simply cancel before then. I love this system because they import the leads for you, and whenever anyone opens an email you sent or clicks on any of the links, it tracks it, that way you know who is actually actively researching a home business opportunity.
I would love to hear your thoughts after trying any of the above resources. Also if you have any others that you have personally used and would like to share, leave a comment.
You should have plenty of people to talk to now, so “Happy Prospecting!” Make it a great week.
