Learning to generate traffic and leads is an important part of being in business. Most people take time to decide whether or not to make a purchase for a product or service. If you are able to build both content and offers around this decision cycle, then you are able to guide them to spending money with you personally.

There are many ways to generate leads, however a lead is considered someone who has expressed interests in a product or service. One simple yet very effective way to generate leads is offering an incentive, this can be a special free e-book, coupon, video course or anything else you can think of. If you are offering more value than your competitors most likely you'll get the leads.

Respect people's requests when it comes to privacy and opting out of your mailing list. Be certain you stay mindful of leads that chose against receiving your offers and incentives. You will not only waste your time contacting someone not interested in buying, but you should not send to anyone opting out for privacy's sake.

You can also generate leads offline. Look in the newspaper and online to find events you may be interested in where you can network and meet people in your niche or industry. You can also generate leads via referrals from previous customers and offer incentives to customers for referring people to your product or service. This is the oldest lead generating method there is but it's always effective.

A combination of techniques where you do both offline and online lead generation is the best thing you can do to grow your business. On the internet you can use video marketing, social networks and search engine optimization to generate leads but you should also be doing referral marketing, direct mail and local events to grow you business even faster. Keep in mind that things are always changing so try to stay updated with what's happening now to use technology and the many resources online to help you.
