How to Use Forums For Low Cost Lead Generation
Assuming that you already have an auto-responder account, landing page, lead capture and management system setup, here is a low cost lead generation strategy that you can start using today.
Thousands of people visit the forums frequently to learn and share information on subjects that are important to them. Let me share with you a simple approach that you can use to get these people checking out your lead capture page.
If your product or site is targeting people who are interested in weight loss supplements, go join a few forums and use a keyword signature that relates to weight loss supplements. “Easy ways to Loose ten Ponds” for example. Your next step would be to search the forum for discussions related to that key-phrase the go ahead and make your contributions.
If the people in those conversations are talking about “Easy ways to Loose ten Ponds” do you think that they might be interested in clicking on a link that says “fastest Way to Loose Ten Pounds”? Now, if they go to your lead capture page and the content is about “fastest way to loose Ten Pounds, do you think a few of them might give their details to get the information. Forums are free to join. and makes it a low cost lead generation strategy. Success in marketing is a numbers game. Hence, the more forums you join and participate in, the greater your success ratio.
Though a very effective strategy and cost nothing from your pocket, it could take hours going from forum to forum. To reduce the time it take to complete this marketing task. I would suggest you search for and get the crazy browser. This browser has a feature which allows you to save a number of sites as a group and and reopen them with one click. Once all the sites are open you can just go from forum to forum making your contributions and the close the tab.

Having Difficulty Generating Leads For Your Business?
The world of the home based business opportunity reminds me of an ocean. In the ocean are many fish. On top of the ocean are many fisherman. The true expertise comes when the fish learn how to catch the fisherman. The problem today is many already network marketers do not know exactly what and how to do this. This is a huge problem in this industry today. Are you having the problem of not being able to recruit?
They are so many that are new to the waters of home based business. This rich kid knew nothing about fishing, but the fisherman did. Many have the choice to remain on the network marketing boat or jump off, the boy in this story did not have this choice. He was stuck on the boat until their journey was complete. Knowing how to fish or generate and recruit leads comes with staying on the boat.
Have you ever just felt so incredibly anxious to sponsor someone into your business opportunity? It will not happen if you advertise YOUR BUSINESS – Saying, “We have your answer”. It will not do the job. When you give value and solve some problems, then you will sponsor. None of us respond well to the shouts of JOIN ME, or YOU NEED OUR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
As the entrepreneur, educate yourself and then with your learning attract the market to you. Have something to offer that can benefit the seeker. Become what your prospects are fishing for. Those that want to be in business for themselves want to do so because of some major reason in their life. It will be your job to find out Why.
These fisherman are in the waters to make a business out of their time at sea. I know I am being metaphorical here, but, you see the point. You cannot just jump out of the water and say, “hook me, I am your answer!” If they hook you it is because you offered something to them that had value, and would fulfill their quest. Otherwise you will remain in the frustrated waters that do not generate leads.
Do you know that we are our own worst enemies? Do you want to scare away your future downline? If you sound like all the other scammers and spammers, they will avoid you. Become a sailing vessel for your prospect. Lead them through safe waters of good ads, good articles, return phone calls, and show them a leader at the helm they can trust.
Okay, so how do you become all this for your prospect, huh? I thought you just enroll people, and leave them to figure it out. Generating endless leads can become easy, but knowing what to do with them after, can be quite the challenge. Position yourself with a system about you that you can then given to your downline. One that teaches how to generate leads, how to recruit them afterward, and how to turn them into leaders.
