Below are further tips I expand on from the video above.

1. Email marketing

When done in the right way, this is one of the best online marketing techniques. By sending an email to people who have already shown interest in the goods or services provided by your online business, you will be getting leads. There are several ways of getting the email addresses to send people to but the catch comes in getting the email right so that the reader opens it and takes an action after reading it.

2. Advertisement

This can be both online and offline and involves a variety of options. Online advertisements include online banners, solo ads, classified ads, pay-per-click ads and social media ads. For offline advertising, the options include direct mail, leaflets, newspapers and magazines. You can test various methods and stick to the ones that work for you.

3. Social Media

Getting leads from social networking sites is very effective. There are a lot of groups that are relevant to your business and you can always join them in order to find out what is trending and the problems they may be facing. This way, you have a chance to offer the advice thus establishing yourself as an expert on the subject. Members will always come to you for more advice and you can make use of this chance to pitch your business to them individually.

4. Forums

There are a lot of internet forums for almost every topic under the sun. This provides a great avenue for talking and connecting with people who are already interested in what your online business has to offer. Just like with social media, you need to offer advice and helpful without blatantly advertising your product and ultimately members will come to you for more information.

Hopefully, the methods mentioned above can benefit you in one way or the other but the most important thing to remember is that getting lead is a gradual process and requires a lot of patience so never give up when it looks like its not working.
