Hi Buzz,
The age old question. How to get more prospects?
Essentially, the methods people use to get more prospects are the same one's to bring visitors to your business site - with a few twists.
* There are a variety of "free" list building services - essentially involving exchanges of traffic, etc. - which you can join. The more people in your group - the more times your sign up box etc gets show.
* Listing in directories - there is some good software around to aid you in this process - and generally to help you build your list.
* Writing articles - again there are some excellent resources on how to do this - and were to post your articles.
* Ad swaps - I run your ad in my e-zine, you run my ad in yours.
* Link exchanges - to bring visitors to your web site.
* Setting up traffic portals - giving away stuff in exchange for a person's contact information with permission to follow up.
Use This To See An Example.
* Using co-registration services - essentially setting up a system to buy leads and then marketing to these leads.
* Listing in search engines and search engine traffic.
This is a short list. I am sure others can provide more techniques.
There are three resources I would recommend:
Depending on your skill level - Email for Newbies is helpful - you will find more information about this product at the
Newbie Club
The Amazing List Machine by Paul Myers is an excellent primer on the process of building a customer list.
Co-Reg-List-Building-Secrets System by Ed Thorpe is a first class resource.
(I admit having a bias as one of my products is a bonus to Ed's book. Despite this, I happen to feel it is an excellent resource on the topic.)
I trust this information is of some value.
Kind regards,
