Offer a free report or ebook

One of most frequently used search terms online contains word FREE in it! Everybody loves to receive something for nothing. But make sure that what you do offer is something they cannot get elsewhere. This can be done by either creating a 'Special Report' which is unavailable elsewhere or offering an existing product that is tailored to your visitors. For example you might offer business owners a free report or ebook which tells them how to create more traffic to their website. It also important to let them know value of 'free gift', for example 'FREE Report - $47 Value'

Create an opt-in newsletter

One of most effective ways of generating leads for your business is by offering a free subscription to your newsletter. As with free report or ebook, it is important when writing a newsletter that you write about something that is relevant to your subscribers.

Everybody has something that they can write about. What most people lack is time to write. Even if you publish a monthly newsletter, people will want to sign up if they feel that information has a high perceived value to them. Your opt-in list is like a goose that lays golden eggs. It is estimated that each subscriber to your newsletter is worth a least $1 per month to your business.

Write specialised articles

You do not necessarily need to be an expert in your chosen field. What is most important is that you are PASSIONATE about what you are writing about and that you have unique or specialised information which is unavailable elsewhere. After you have done this submit your articles to article submission sites and make sure to include a resource box at end which will direct people back to your website.

Employ these lead generating strategies and you will notice a significant increase in website traffic and an increase in leads generated. But don't stop there! Remember, you need to follow up with these leads and turn them into paying customers which is why preselling is an important factor.
