Are You Struggling With Targeted Lead Generation?

Regular and effective targeted lead generation is what makes an online business successful. If only it was that simple, we would all be making pots of money. It’s finding a targeted lead generation method that works that’s the tricky bit and this seems to be the area that most people find the hardest to crack, if they only have free marketing techniques to rely on.

It’s a different story if you have a large marketing budget to play with, because then it is just a quesion of learning how to set up and operate ad campaigns on the various search engines.

However if you are in the home business arena, even this method is harder than it used to be. Up until about a year ago, Google was the number 1 choice to promote you home biz on and the returns if you picked the right keywords were very profitable, but now they have suspended 1000′s of accounts and continue to do so, in a bid to clean out anything associated with “get rich quick schemes”.

That still leaves plenty of options such as Yahoo, Bing and Facebook where you can set up PPC campaigns around you chosen niche and keywords. The price you’ll pay for each click very much depends on the keywords and the type of product you’re promoting, but what you have to remember is that on average it takes 100 clicks before you will get a sale, so you need to make sure the profit from each sale is greater than the cost of getting the leads.

So for instance, if your cost per click is $1, then 100 clicks would cost you $100, therefore the profit or commission on your sale should be greater than $100, otherwise you’re losing money, which is very common due to people expecting more returns from fewer clicks.

The safest option is to start with a very low budget and test the market first. Try spending only $5 per day for starters, test a few different ads and headlines to see which works best, then if the profit ratio is right, you can gradually ramp it up a bit as you rofits allow.

Generating free leads takes a lot longer and requires a lot more marketing skills to make it work successfully. If you are starting from scratch with your business, there is no way round it, you have to master these skills if you want traffic to your site.

You need to become an expert in 3 areas;

1- Keyword research
2- On page optimisation to make certain your titles, URL’s, tags and content are all search engine friendly.
3- Off page optimisation where you create all the backlinks to your site.

When these are all being done regularly and correctly, there is every chance that you will have a targeted lead generation system that will bring you traffic on a consistent basis.
