Generating leads should be your number one priority, even if you’re just starting out. In fact, if you’re not focused on lead generation in your business, new or old, you really won’t find the ultimate success you’re looking for. You won’t!
A lead generation system isn’t difficult to set up. You have no doubt already been introduced to squeeze pages, even if you’re brand new to the game. These web pages are vehicles by which the owner collects names and email addresses in exchange for some type of value. They’re building lists, which will be the most important asset that they can have.
Generating your own leads requires that you build a squeeze page, and to do that you’ll need an autoresponder and a hosting account. The autoresponder will allow you to create a web form so that you can collect the names and email addresses of people who are interested in your niche. It will also let you send email to the people on your list whenever you want to, or in a scheduled series of follow-up messages.
To be generating leads from your own squeeze page, you’ll need an HTML editor to build it, and a WYSIWYG version is probably best to start. That means “What You See is What You Get,” and they’re called that because by using them, you’ll be building your page much like you would work in a word processor. Free versions should do the trick, and a couple of them are Kompozer and Coffee Cup.
You may want to use what we call an “ethical bribe on your for generating leads faster. This is something of value that you give to people in exchange for their names and email addresses. You can use any media to deliver it, including audio, video, or written reports. It’s up to you.
Once you have that giveaway and the squeeze page built with the form you created at your autoresponder service, the last piece of the puzzle is uploading the squeeze page to your hosting account, and then, seinding traffic to it. Without traffic, nobody will see your squeeze page, and no one will opt into your list.
There are many free ways to drive traffic, which include article marketing, blogging, social marketing, podcasting, and teleseminars.
