Ways to Generate Leads with Inbound Marketing

We who sell want leads now. Remember cold calling is an interuptive waste of time.

Inbound marketing is actually earning people's interest, instead of buying it, or annoying them to try to get it.

One way to get leads is to create a blog. Make your blog lively, interesting, full of value, encourage comments, and at the end of the post, make a call to action - do you want the reader to contact you for more info on marketing, visit your youtube channel, sign up for your newsletter, or email you for a personal meeting?

Create interest using social media, and make an entry daily. Post your current project on Pinterest, use linked in to connect with a client, and tweet about your chamber's activities.

Last but not least, start using video. Video is the new facebook. Make a video a week, and promote it on the other social media sites. Encourage new and prospective clients to watch videos to learn how to get a discount on a project. Create quick videos with info about your industry, sharing bite size nuggets of info so that no one is bored or overwhelmed. Have fun watching your online world expand!
