Lead generation is a funny thing. It’s the lifeblood of any growing business, yet many approach it in a casual manner at best.Consistently generating leads for your business takes momentum and momentum takes energy.In my experience, lead generation energy is best created by effectively approaching your very well defined target market from several angles, advances and mediums.Your multi-pronged attack should come just short of making them feel that you and your business are everywhere they want to go.One way to accomplish this is through the carefree spending of bucket loads of money on advertising. It’s an approach that has actually worked for some, but I don’t recommend it for most small business owners.A more effective sm

When I started, I had no idea of what a business plan was. As many beginners I thought “well, I’ll make the pieces and people will come”, but that only led to frustration! I had no one to show my jewels to, and sales were low or none for months.Learning about marketing techniques is the best I’ve done for my business – in fact, before I learnt about marketing I did not have a business. I was just another person that made earrings and other sparkly items. Nothing of interest. I was losing time, losing money (that hurted the most!) and losing hope I could do that for a living.If you have a home-based business making a good business plan is absolutely necessary. The longer you procrastinate this fact, the harder it will be for you to succeed. You
You’ve created a great site with lots of great content and you have chosen your web host. So… big question… what’s next? Unless you are especially altruistic (and if you search the web, you’ll be surprised to see just how many people are), you’ll probably want to make some money out of your efforts. But how do you turn this stream of dots on a screen into a revenue stream? Here are a few pragmatic tips that might help… basic steps that will get you started and (hopefully) start you thinking.
How will people find my site?
Before you can make money from your site, people have to visit it - it’s as simple as that. Your first job then is to get people to visit your site. It doesn’t matter whether you have the best site in the world, if people can’t find it you are never going to get any visitors. Getting your site known means using search engines, and to get you started, that means submitting to a few of the key engines, particularly Google.
Luckily, there are a number of free web sites that help people to submit sites to search engines. The one I use is Addme.com. This has a very simple interface which guides you through submitting to a number of engines including Subjex, Alexa, Scrub The Web, FAST Search AllTheWeb, LookSeek, Jayde, InfoTiger, NerdWorld, Aeiwi, Walhello, LifeTips, ExactSeek, and EntireWeb. Most importantly, Addme.com gets you into Google. You might want to supplement this with a registration to MSN and Yahoo! (outside Google two of the biggest players) although I have never found registration to the latter particularly easy. Take a look around on the Internet - you might see others submission sites that I don’t know about that will help you out with Yahoo! In fact there are thousands of search engines you need to submit to, but for now, until the ball starts rolling, this will do. Don’t make the mistake many people do – don’t hit as many registration sites as possible in order to increase your chances of a good placing. It doesn’t work like that – submitting to the same engine many times actually does the opposite. In fact, it could get you completely banned from a search engine. And don’t submit specific pages of your web site as an alternative – it won’t help. The search engines are smart enough to recognize the similarities between www.yoursite.com and www.yoursite.com/page1.html!

If you don’t have a credit policy, everyone will want to buy from you. This can result in unpaid and past due invoices on your books.A new book explains how you can avoid and prevent this from happening to you and your business. “Become the Squeaky Wheel”, is a guide to create, set up or update your credit policy.“There wasn’t an easy to follow guide you could use to create, maintain or update your existing credit policy while maintaining customer relations, so I created one.” Says Michelle Dunn, the author of the new book “Become the Squeaky Wheel”. “It’s proven very useful to business owners or entrepreneurs starting a business who have never dealt with credit issues before but that have or might have slow or non-paying customers.”A

Look all over the World Wide Web and you will find affiliate marketing sites all over the place. You will also find that for the most part these programs will fall into two categories. You will find the sites that just have links to other sites that sell products. Most of the time its sites like this that come up in Google or Yahoo searches. The problem with these sites are that they really don’t have much content. Because of this it’s hard to look at these sites and see much use for them.The affiliate site that contains a lot of relevant content is the site you want to make money with. These sites still have all the same links as the other one but now you have introduced content into your site. So now you’re asking how to get content on your s

Ask anybody who has been in business for a long enough and they will tell you how newspaper advertisements have for decades helped to build countless small businesses.The advantages of a newspaper advertisement are many, but what has attracted small business entrepreneurs for decades is the speed at which a struggling entrepreneur (short of funds as many starting small businesses always are, and looking for customers fast) is able to get a very quick response.Many extremely successful businesses today started off booking tiny classified newspaper advertisements, grew into larger display advertisements (that were still very tiny) and today are multi million dollar enterprises commanding lots of respect.

With client expectations higher than ever before, and the gradual industry recovery ahead, consulting firms will need to focus more than ever on carefully identifying and serving the right clients.Based on a recent interview with Brad Smith, VP of Research at Kennedy Information Inc., industry growth data prove that this is a great time to “niche thyself” and capitalize on targeted industry opportunities.Consulting industry growth has been declining for three years, and more consolidation is ahead. According to Smith, “Systems integration and consulting industry growth is expected to grow only 1% in 2004, 3% in 2005, and 4% in 2006.”For now, the double-digit growth of the late 1990’s is a distant memory.

How will people even know my site exists?
OK – so search engines are going to direct people to your site, but that’s not the whole story. If you had a regular business, a ‘bricks and mortar’ business, you’d want to let as many people as possible know as quickly as possible that you have started operations, right? Why would an Internet business be any different? As soon as you are up and running, make sure you send out Press Releases. Fortunately, there are now countless Press Release sites on the Internet, most are free; some provide a much more expansive coverage for only a few dollars. Here are a few good ones: http://www.prweb.com http://businesswire.com http://www.prnewswire.com http://www.free-press-release.com http://www.free-press-release.com http://www.theopenpress.com http://www.prleap.com http://www.openpress.com http://www.pr.com http://openpr.com
Have a good look through these sites; many have articles on how to write a successful Press Release. A well written Press Release will significantly increase your chances of getting visitors to your site.
What about directories? Should I use them?
One of the other ways of getting people to your site is registering to directories. There is every possible type of directory on the Internet. They are comprised of lists of items related to a specific topic – travel directories, used car directories, etc. You will almost certainly find a directory to meet your needs. One good one is Craig’s List. This site gets hundreds of thousands of visitors a day and people who list their sites here can get up to 800 visitors a day immediately! Don’t stop there though. If you look around the Internet you can actually find services which, for a small fee, will find directories for you and place your details in them. Generally they are not too expensive.
Should I advertise?
Aside from press releases and directories, you can also pay for advertisements that link to your site. Of course that can be very expensive, but there are a number of cheap alternatives curr
