25+ free leads a day using craigslist

Craigslist garage sale or pot of gold?

 There's a question for you. For some craigslist is just that place they go to find used items for sale, for others it's a place to go to find their next job or business opportunity.

I personally use it to find leads for my business. That's right I've been generating 25+leads per day using craigslist. And I am about to show you how I do it.

First you have to set up 10 free email accounts I use google simply for it's capacity levels.

Once you have your email account's set up you want to go to craigslist and set up 1 account for each email account you have set up. This takes a little bit of time but once it's all set up it is well worth the effort. Plus once you set it all up it will only take about 25 to 30 minutes a day to post your ads.

Now that you've got everything Set up and your ready to start posting your ads you want to find the cities that allow you to post for free. There are plenty of cities that are free to post in.

When you decide on the city you want to post only 1 ad per, but you should post in 2 cities per email or craigslist account.

This is where you have to be creative your copy is what is going to get people to click through to your site. Depending on your offer you will want to find the right category to post your ads in.

I have a business opportunity but I don't post there I post in the jobs offered category. I post in the real estate and sales jobs as these two fields have been hit pretty hard over the last couple of years and folks in those arenas are open to new and exciting ideas.

And I have had some great success using this very same method for my lead generation.

This is just a quick run down of how to use this method if you would like even more details about how I generate leads feel free to leave a comment with a contact and I will surly get back at you to answer any questions you might have.

Hope you have as much success as I do with this enjoy.

Building your Brand

It's got to be solid.

Starting out in business on line can be very tricky at times. But there are steps that you can take that will ensure that you will be successful. The first step in this process is building your brand.
Building your brand may be the most important step to ensure your success. Okay so how do I build my brand from nothing?

First and foremost you have got to be sure of what you want your brand to say about you and or your business. Once you have this figured out the rest kind of comes naturally.

For instance you are an on line business coach and mentor you better be sure you can show someone that is looking for a coach or a mentor that you are that authority.

This lends to transparency if your are truly the authority in your field then you should have no problem being completely transparent. Being vague or deceptive will only chase your prospective clients away. Folks that are looking for certain products or services want to know that they are dealing with someone or a business that absolutely knows what they are talking about.

Testimonials are a great way to show your authority in your field find others in your field to look at what you have to offer and ask them for some type of an endorsement. If your providing quality content it shouldn't be hard to find others that like what you are sharing with them thus leading to the testimonials you are seeking. You can even offer to endorse them in exchange this is the win win situation both you and the individual you are asking will benefit from each others endorsements.

Today in marketing on line everything revolves around helping others achieve success so with that in mind you should be surrounding yourself with people that are in your same niche that will be sure to share with you what they have learned and pass this knowledge along to you so that you can pass it along to others that you will come in contact with.

These are just some of the basic principles of building your brand on line Over time continuing to add value and quality will increase you brands worth and value Rome was not built in one day and neither will your brand although Rome was built on a soild foundation and so should your brand.

I always encourage comments so leave one if you like.

Take Action Get Results

Get results through your actions.

 Are you getting the results you want through the actions that you take? There are several action steps you should be taking to get the desired results you wish to achieve. Your main objective with an on line business is always to drive traffic to your sites weather it is your landing page your blog page or where ever it is you want to get in front of your audience.
There are several methods you can use to do this. Like placing ads or writing blog posts like this one. At any rate you should be focused on driving as much traffic as you can to your site's. Now my Question to you is this are you doing all that you can to drive that traffic. Sure I knowits a lot of work, but don't you think that anything worth having is worth putting in the work to get?
The purposes of this post is to allow you the reader to be awear of some of the distractions that may be stealing your focus from the what I like to call RPA, which is revenue producing activities.
With the explosion of social media it has become more and more acceptable to get on facebook or myspace and to join groups of like minded folks that are in the same kind of business you are in. But is joining these groups generating leads for you? Don't get me wrong I think these groups are great and there are great people involved in them and you can learn from others things you may not have known. But is spending all your time on these groups producing revenue for you?
My point is don't allow yourself to be distracted by the things that are fun away from the things that are going to make you money.
Stay focused and diligent in your rpa's and you will get the results you desire.
