Leads Using Web 2.0
Social Networking is a huge, huge asset when it comes to generating free leads.
Generating Leads using web 2.0 strategies is a huge asset to your business.
How so?
The search engines love the social networking sites at this time. The only investment you have to make is time and you can’t go out there trying to market your product directly to them. You need to offer a service to help and assist people. The folks in social marketing do not tolerate being pitched on a product, but they love FREE help (and so do the search engines).
With that said, go set up a Facebook and MySpace site. Search for some friends on it and do your best to get several hundred of them as you look. You aren’t going to want to pitch them or spam them on your company or product.
Just get to know them and be a service to them in any way you can. When the opportunity comes that they ask you what you do don’t hesitate to let them know, but don’t sales pitch them on it. Just tell them about what you are doing, show them your website. You can even post a link to your blog or website that gives them an opportunity to go over to your website that you ultimately want to get them to.
Those of you out there that want to generate traffic to your website, but are having trouble doing so this will be a great resource for you. Of all the web 2.0 variances out there probably the best way to get search engine traffic is through a blog.
You want to be as discreet and give as little salespeak as possible.
Post some videos that are offering a service to network marketers. Present yourself as an expert that has something to offer to people and not as someone that is trying to SELL.
You have to be willing to give first before you can receive.
Another great web 2.0 lead generation tool is twitter.
Seriously, what the heck is twitter? Well, check it out. Twitter Oh, and make sure to set up an account and Follow Me on it. It’s similar to Facebook or Myspace where you update what you are doing at the time. It’s basically a way for people to stay in touch with each other, but in reality it is much more than that.
