subject: How To Get Free Leads For Your Business Using The Internet! (part Ii) [print this page] Another way to generate free leads is to create a blog. This blog should be updated REGULARLY with useful advice that your target group will be interested in. This way, you will get a group of people who are interested in what YOU have to say, and are more likely to join your opportunity in future. You do not want to post things about your opportunity on your blog. Your blog should have an opt-in box for people to enter their email address in order to subscribe to your blog. These subscribers then become your free sales leads. This opt-in box will be linked to an autoresponder, so you can create a series of emails that will automatically be sent to these subscribers. If you like, you can reuse the ones you sent as your bribe for your capture page or you can make new ones. These are the people that you will try to sell your opportunity and products to in future. The aim is to gain their trust first and make them likely to be interested in what you have to say. So posts with tips and advice are a great idea!
Your blog should be specific to the interests of the target you are trying to attract! This will help to attract the right people easily.
Another way you can make money from your blog is through affiliate marketing, which involves including links to products that you think your target group may be interested in purchasing onto your blog and then if they buy the products using your link you get paid a commission!
This is your blog, so try to add your personality to it. People are more likely to follow you if they think you are genuine. Really, how you make your blog is up to you! Your blog posts should be of good quality and be ORIGINAL!
Before you create your blog you will need to purchase a domain and hosting account. There are many programs you can use to create your blog, a good one to use is Wordpress. If you are not internet savvy, you can purchase Wordpress hosting which will help to make your blogging experience easier. Once you have created your blog, the most important advice I can give you is to update it with high quality, original content regularly. The more content you create, the more free leads you will attract!
