A Marketers Guide To Online Business

Lead generation campaigns are so important that they really make or break a business. But how many of your favorite Internet gurus, selling the latest and greatest products, even mention that if you don’t have a list, it probably won’t work out so well for you?

None of them.

A few might, but you know what? It’s not their fault!

People who sell advanced programs just assume that you KNOW that, and if you’re just starting out, chances are that you don’t. Here are 13 more things they never tell you about lead generation campaigns:

1. After choosing a good niche, the very next thing you should do is put up a squeeze page.

2. Make sure that your squeeze page has a captivagting headline to attact attention.

3. Be sure to tell people what’s in it for them, if they sign up for your list.

4. Use a giveaway — an article, an ebook, a special report, or a video to entice people to join.

5. Keep your optin form simple. The more information you ask for, the fewer people will actually opt in.

6. All of your traffic, whether it’s from blogging, article marketing, or whatever should be sent to that squeeze page.

7. Having a good autoresponder service is an expense you cannot avoid.

8. Be sure that your lead generation campaigns are funning automatically, so that you’re collecting leads and selling products, even while you sleep.

9. Be sure that your autoresponder series is more than a collection of sales messages. Add relevant and good information that people can use.

10. Put an optin box wherever possible, as in social sites, for example.

11. Keep your list niche centric. 
12. Spend all of your time concentrating on lead generation campaigns.

13. Be sure to learn affiliate marketing and a sizable list before trying to create a product of your own.

Lead generation campaigns are the backbone of your business. Without a group of people who are interested in your niche to sell to, you have nothing. People just don’t shell our money for no good reason, especially in this economy. You need a group of folks that come to know, like, and trust you because you have given them good information. These are the people who will buy from you.
