How Would I Start Generating Leads?

16 replies
Hello,

Here's my exact question, I make music videos and documentaries, I'm looking for ways to start generating leads and start building my list, I realize two things from this forum, it takes time, and be willing to spend the extra dollars..

So what would be the best ways to start generating leads and building my list?

So far i have written down:

Craigslist - Has generated some business for me, but now its dead lol
Soundcloud - Genereated a few leads, wasn't able to fully close
Email Marketing - I like to see the analytics
Adwords - No idea lol
Facebook Ads - Owe them 1.50 lol and an amateur at it
Solo Ads - No idea haha

I'm very confused at this point, and i figure it will all come together when i'm not looking...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS: I'm thinking of getting a 1 on 1 coach, any suggestions?

    From my experience, I prefer Google Adwords and Facebook Ads for generating leads. Craigslist work too depending on the niche.

    You can start a Youtube channel and maybe show the people how to make a music video ect ect, Youtube is a great free traffic source. You also can setup a blog, be crative.
    A 1 on 1 coach would be the A+ but i think its expensive and you also have to invest into drive traffic.

    Go the easier route of the 3 and develop a highly targeted audience with a FB ad campaign. Make an ad that targets who you think your buyers will be using audience insites - part of the FB ad platform.

    Think long an hard about who you are going to target your ads to EXPL Hispanic males 20-35, living in Texas. You can actually narrow it down much further than that. The more you narrow it down the the ideal person who should like you product - let the ad run.

    Nothing is more targeted than FB. And... You could test this out for less than $15. If the ad (due to your awesome targeting) is getting lots of clicks - your CPC will be quite low.

    Good Luck!

    I think Facebook Ads might be a good option. Very reasonable rates. And can be highly effective

    Of course, incorporate that with List Building and Email Marketing.

    Fan Pages are easy and quick to start

    I'll second the Facebook Fan Page, although it's not clear what you are trying to sell. You can also create YouTube videos (link them to your fan page) expanding on the topic.

    Would be helpful if you could give a little bit more info ,)

    Wow, thanks for the replies guys, Ill get to work on learning more about Facebook Ads, my next question, how should i set up the ad, and what should i send them too? a opt in page for my list, or a click here to send me an email, or click here to redeem this offer?

    Im thinking i should capture their emails and create leads at the same time, so that would look something like:

    AD
    click
    Redeem offer
    opt in

    something like that? I learn visually so its just easier for things to be mapped out simply for me lol

    And as far what i sell, I sell music videos, and documentaries, focusing on music videos though, the whole production from start to finish, thats my business

      As everyone says - people rarely buy on their first look at a product and it is so true.

      Send them to a squeeze page - get their info - maybe send them a sample then show them your offer. Use your auto-responder to followup with them and bring them back to the salespage. Easy peezie (sp?)

      Be careful and do not violate FB terms of service for ads. They can shut down your ad account and you will never be able to use it again. Tread lightly, make sure your ad image is good, your landing/optin/squeeze is good and you follow their guidelines (especially about landing pages.)

      Continue to read up on the subject before you run the ad. There is tons of info on Google about how to make FB ads. Just make sure you are reading something current.

      Good Luck!


      You can also use FB retargetting - but that is a whole nother matter.

    Facebook and bing are the winners in my opinion. But if you find high quality solo ads provider You can have great leads and traffic at the same time.

    I Have a question for you...

    Where does your target market hang out?

    * Do they hang out on Facebook?
    * What websites are they attracted to?
    * What content are they attracted to on youtube?

    If you know who your target market are and where they hang out then you want to start targeting them there.

    That would be the first thing I suggest to do.

    Now once you have established that... then you want to create an optin page/landing page and start building your list.

    If you need any help just send me a message and you can bounce some ideas off me

    My advice... Pick one strategy and stick with it. If you try to attack all the strategies you mentioned you will fail.. or take a long time to start seeing success. If you want a low cost option I would recommend YouTube marketing. You'd have to put in some time initially but on a channel I made 4 years ago for a site I don't even work on anymore I still get +25k views each month and add several hundred people to my list on autopilot No ad spend needed and it keeps working

      What is this list for exactly? What are you thinking to offer these people to get on your list? Why would I want to get on your list?

    You buy traffic while almost one comes to your website means you will lose money. Most of the people would just leave after they see there are no one and no interaction in your website.
