5 Inspiring Lead Generation Examples You Can Learn
From – Part 2
4. Reconnect
When
generating sales leads, ideas should also include your old contacts. It’s easy
to lose touch with them given the pace of life. But they get that as much as
you do.
There’s
no harm in sending a “touching base”
email just to heat them back up as a prospect. Even if
they’re not ready to do business directly, they’ll be so flattered you thought
of them that it could lead to a nice referral.
5. Take an Active Role in Your Content
If you
really need leads, don’t farm out your content creation to a non-expert. No one
knows your business like you. So demonstrate it!
You can
do it by taking an active role in the ideation. You also want to offer
editorial oversight to any outside help if you don’t have the time to create
the content yourself.
These Lead Generation Examples Work
We’ve
tried a ton of lead generation examples over the years to varying effect. But
nothing works quite as well as the ones we’ve shared above.
They’re
flexible. They’re timeless. And they put the emphasis on creating value and
embracing the passion of your expertise.

5 Inspiring Lead Generation Examples You Can Learn
From – Part 1
There’s
no shortage of lead generation examples available online that promise to take
your business to new heights. But how do you adapt what others are doing and
make it work for your situation?
In the
following article, we’ll be discussing some simple but effective strategies to
inspire you. Best of all, they’re incredibly flexible. (Thus, easy for you to
incorporate into your current day-to-day.)
1. Connect with Real People from the Companies You
Love
One of
the best lead generation ideas we’ve found: focus on companies you love. More
specifically, target the individuals already working for them. How can this be
helpful?
Usually,
these are highly-talented individuals with their own ambitions. The Googles and
Amazons of the world wanted them because these candidates thought outside the
box and had entrepreneurial ambitions of their own. And where there’s a spirit
of entrepreneurship, there’s a lead looking to hire someone with your
particular skill set.
Pro tip:
look up a company you love on LinkedIn. Find the link telling you how many
employees working for that company are active on the site. Study profiles until
you connect with someone, build a short but tailored pitch and message them
privately.
2. Skim Top Competitors with a Local Eye
Great
content creates hot leads. Start investing more time in your content strategy.
Examine what top competitors are doing.
Do a
geo-search for your keywords in another local market. Visit blogs and websites
that come up first and see if you can’t craft an original spin on some of their
more popular topics.
But
remember: you’re after lead generation ideas, not content you can rip off. If
you can’t be original, then you have a lot of craft-honing to do.
3. Take Your Audience to School
Anyone
can throw 500 or 1,000 words into a blog post. Don’t settle for that.
Instead,
add real value to the consumer’s life. Then, think of the best ways to package
that knowledge to keep them engaged.
Many
thought leaders have moved away from regular blog schedules and are instead
creating dense, engaging courses that solve crucial problems for the consumer.
Social
media is a great vehicle for delivery. In fact, one seminar
marketing campaign was able to pull down over 1,300
signups from a six-week Facebook campaign. But the content has to be first.

Creating Wealth with Affiliate Programs: Getting
Rich with No Money Down – Part 1
By: Sean Gum
The question I am asked the most is, "How can I create additional
income streams if I don't have any money to get started?" This article is
going to teach you exactly that - how to create additional income streams using
the Internet - without requiring any money to get started...
If you search for Work-at-Home or Make Money Online, you will have
literally millions of websites to visit that promise you the next best way to
get rich... for a fee...
You can spend hundreds of dollars researching all of the business
opportunities on the Internet. But more times than not, the money you spend
only supplies information on everything else you need to buy to get started.
Well have no fear! I am going to show you some of the secrets I use to
creating income streams with no money down!
I realize that a lot of you are living paycheck to paycheck. Everything
coming in, quickly goes right back out. My intention of writing this article is
to help you break out of this cycle with Affiliate Programs.
What are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate Programs are used to promote a product or service through a
cost-per-action advertising model. Simply put, website owners will pay you a
commission for every person you send to their website that either buys their
product or service, or perform some other type of action such as filling out a
survey...
Amazon.com built a huge following by utilizing Affiliate Programs. A
website owner simply put a unique link on their website that Amazon.com
provided them. Every time someone clicked on their unique link and ordered a
book, the website owner would be paid a commission - usually a percentage of
sales.
Banner ads or text ads are used to drive the traffic to the affiliate
website. For example, one website might say "Click here to order Sean's
Latest Book." When someone clicks on the link, it will go to exactly where
they can order the book at Amazon.com.
High traffic websites benefit greatly by this business model since they
can drive a lot of people to the affiliate websites which results in a lot of
commissions being earned.
But what if I don't have a website?!
I know, you don't have a website, right? Or maybe you do, but you don't get a
lot of traffic? I have good news...
BLOGS = FREE TRAFFIC
Over the last couple years, a new type of website has come onto the scene. They
are called BLOGS. A blog is like a personal diary of articles that you post
that people can read and comment on.
A couple examples:
http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com
http://ulosefast.blogspot.com
You can use a BLOG to drive visitors to affiliate links without having
to have a website. If you look at the fortunedreams blog above, you will notice
that at the end of every article is a link that says "Click here for FREE
Information on Working at Home-FortuneDreams.com"
If you click on that link, it will go to an affiliate link which
redirects you to a free survey to fill out.
For every person that completes that free survey, I get paid $2.25. Not
too bad, eh?
