How To Generate 50-100 Hungry Prospects A Day

By J. Walker, Biz Partner and Coach

The life blood of any business online is leads. A lead is simply someone who has trusted you enough to provide you with their name and email address.

They have done this because you have either promised to provide them with more information related to a product or service, or because they want to receive updates from you. No matter the reason, you have to understand that these people trusting you are more than just hungry prospects.

They are real people who deserve for you to come through and give them the quality content that they came to see. In the same token, you now have the responsibility to continue providing this valuable content and the ability to recommend products and services that you have found useful to you.

This is a win-win for both you and the prospect, as they get to learn from you for free and when they purchase something from a quality recommendation you make, you get to make money as well.

So how do you generate 50-100 leads a day?

Well, there are many different online strategies to do this effectively. Here are my three favorite. I have broken them down for you into categories.

1. Paid Advertising – This includes things like banner advertising, pay-per-click advertising, posting ads on ezines or online newsletters, classified advertising, and selling through auction sites.

I would recommend using one or two of these strategies to first start out, so that you do not exhaust your marketing budget too quickly and not get a good return on investment. After you have mastered a few and are making good money, then add a few more to your arsenal. The amount of leads you can generate here are only limited by your budget.

2. Free Content Advertising: – This includes things like writing press releases, articles, a blog, starting a squidoo lens, doing forum marketing, posting free classifieds, and doing video marketing.

I would recommend that start out by taking one of these activities at a time and learning how to first do it effectively. Once you have mastered one, then you can take on another. Keep building from one week to the next and in no time, you can be using all of these strategies for free and generate a massive weekly lead flow.

3. Social Media Personal Branding – This includes websites like twitter, youtube, myspace, facebook, and other not-so-popular sites that are just now starting to gain notoriety.

I would recommend creating an account with each website. Again, take one at a time and set yourself up, so you can start doing the daily tasks associated with growing your followers list. Once you have a good following, then you should be able to start generating a very good flow of daily leads.

So there you have it. These are the same online marketing strategies that I use on a daily basis to generate a minimum of 100 leads a day for my internet business! I hope you are able to put them to good use to grow your business.

The Price Of Negligence…

“Businesses never fail, people fail to run them properly.”

I read that statement the other day and it stopped me dead in my tracks.

So let’s elaborate…

I think what you’ll find here may open your eyes to what’s really going on out there. The article I’m about to expose you to was actually written to expose the real, hidden truth behind most business failures nowadays…

This article was made available to me by top marketing strategist and copywriter, Dan Kennedy, better known as “The Professor Of Harsh Reality.

Do read with caution. Here it is…

“Why People Fail”
A Series of ‘No B.S.’ Articles from Dan Kennedy

The Price of Negligence

In my relentless search for I don’t know what, I found an article in the December 1, 2008 edition of Nation’s Restaurant News, the trade journal of the restaurant industry, headlined : “Operators Bank On Profit And Loss Scrutiny To Stay Afloat.”   It made me laugh out loud. The article states that “maximizing the profit and loss statement has become a mantra for restaurant operators during the current economic downturn.”   This is then presented as some sort of horrific torture imposed on the owners by a vicious economy.  What is not said, but should be, is that maximizing profit shouldn’t be paid attention to only after dire economic conditions occur, to be given temporary priority, only until ‘things get better.’

It’s supposed to be what anybody responsible for operating a business does everyday. Including what’s then described in the article: ferreting out and cutting wasteful spending, controlling labor and administrative costs; creating products, offers and price propositions customers really want. Any business owner complaining about having to attend to these priorities because of a recession is a moron, and any trade-journal writer taking them seriously is dumber than a sandbox.

But this is why so many businesses fail. When you turn on the news to see insurance giants exposed as valueless houses of cards, venerable auto companies as manufacturers of nothing but debt, retail and restaurant chains announcing massive store closings, make no mistake: their managements can point their fingers at the recession all they like, but it’s a lie. All the tough economy has done is expose the failures of the people at the helms. Businesses never fail. People fail to run them profitably. Much of that is pure and simple negligence.

To be clear, negligence is, by definition, the failure to act with the care a prudent person would exercise. So, when Mort Zuckerman loses 30-million or 300-million of his charity’s dollars by having it all invested with Bernie Madoff for three years, claiming he didn’t even know the money was invested there by somebody he delegated its management to, he is obviously negligent. If you leave a rake pointy side up on your front porch steps, with the lights burnt out, and the pizza delivery guy steps on it and falls and breaks his leg, you are negligent, will be successfully sued, and see your insurance rates go up. There is a price for negligence, and there’s supposed to be.

In business, failure to closely and constantly monitor all the important numbers and benchmarks and predictive indicators (as detailed in Chapter 43 of my book ‘No B.S. Ruthless Management of People and Profits’) is negligence of the highest order. Its bill may go unnoticed in boom times when money flows easily and everyone does well, but when the warm breezes change to bitter cold wind, and the accumulated tab for such negligence is presented and payment demanded, much pain occurs, much hand-wringing and whining and crying about the mean ‘n nasty recession is heard, and fools commiserate with each other, sharing the misery of their own sins of negligence.

If you own a business, by gum, run the darned thing. Maximize profits every way you can, and never stop trying to find new and better ways to do so, from every valid source of input, ideas and information you can get your hands on or get connected with. At day’s end, ask: what do I know now (about maximizing profits) that I didn’t know this morning? And: what am I going to do tomorrow as a result of what I’ve learned?

Anything less is negligence.
