Free For All Sites: How They Can Actually Help Your Business
Anyone whose been marketing online knows that generating leads
can be a time consuming and expensive experience. It's something
that must be done however if you expect to make it in any
business. The money is in the list, as they say.
There are many different ways to generate leads. Some companies
will even give you leads for free when you join their
corporation. The problem with free leads like this is that they
can be old and possibly untargeted. I joined one network
marketing company that gave members free names and phone numbers
of people they said had requested information on working from
home. Of the hundreds of numbers I was given a large number were
disconnected or a wrong number, and even more had no idea where
I could have gotten their name from, and weren't the least bit
interested in working at home. Others still remembered
requesting information, a year ago! As you can imagine these
leads were no where near as great as they had been made out to
be.
If you want fresh leads, 1 to 2 days old max, you can pay for
them, but they're going to cost you. Some places charge a dollar
or more per lead, which can obviously add up very quickly. You'd
better have an amazing sales pitch and be prepared to follow up
with these leads if you expect to make your money back, and
hopefully a profit.
What if you don't have the money to purchase quality leads, and
don't want the hassel of trying to sell to people whose names,
numbers and email addresses have been given away for free all
over the place? At best they'll hang up on you, or delete your
email. At worst they'll be rude to you on the phone or report
your email as spam. There is an easier way to build you list,
that won't cost you a thing. In fact it has the potential to
make you money. Free for all sites. Now before you say these
sites are useless, and that no one ever sees your ads, let me
explain. Of course these sites are worthless if you're posting
to them, but what about the people hosting them? Not only do you
get the names and emails of people looking to make money on the
internet, but you can advertise to them as well. When they post
their ad on your FFA site, they're required to confirm their
post via email. You can put your ad in the signature line of
every email you send to people, and then follow up with them in
a day or two. Plus a lot of these FFA sites pay you when someone
gets their own site under you. Depending on your marketing, this
alone could bring you in a nice monthly income, on the side of
your primary business.
Every FFA site is a little different. Some cost more to own and
run, and some are only good for generating leads, but they won't
pay you. Usually you can sign up for free with an option to
upgrade. Depending on what benefits they offer pro members, this
can be a real advantage to have. You can upgrade at some sites
for under $20 per month. That's pretty cheap when you think
about everything you're getting in return. Finding these sites
isn't hard either, just do a search on your favorite search
engine for FFA's or Free For All, and start looking at what
different ones offer. If you're not comfortable paying right
away, sign up for free and get a feel for how the site works,
and then upgrade if you're satisfied.
