Buying Leads is Wrong

quality leadsOne thing that never stops to amaze me is the fact that with all the available data and material on how to generate free quality leads online, people still make the same unforgiving mistake – they buy leads.

Buying leads is wrong! Spending money on leads is as stupid as blending that money into a cocktail. I would prefer to spend that money on buying a chocolate cake – at least I know I’ll enjoy eating it.

Buying leads usually leads to a huge frustration. Not only have you spent my chocolate cake money (urghhh) but also you have generated no sales because paid leads neither are responsive nor targeted.

What Are Quality Leads?

Many internet marketers don’t even have a clue what a quality lead looks like. Leads are more than a name, email and a phone number. Leads are people. They are as human as you and I. Leads have families, jobs, hobbies and needs.

Let’s reverse engineer this whole lead generation thing:

You’re a lead. Somehow, without your notice your email address was sold to someone who is running an email marketing campaign.

All of a sudden you start receiving emails from people you have never heard of, selling stuff you are not even interested in. What do you do? Mark it as SPAM and Trash it.

That’s exactly what happens when you buy leads. Your emails are marked as SPAM and thrown into the Trash. So, the money is long gone and you are yet to make a sale.

The reason why paid leads will never produce significant results is because they are not targeted, they do not want to see your offers and most important they have no clue about who you are and how did you get their contact information.

How To Generate Quality Leads?

The best quality leads are free leads. The reason those are effective is because they come to you, they find you and they need your help. They want to see what you have to offer. They opt in because they want to see more of what you’ve got and are probably willing to pay for it as well.

Below is the list of some of the Top Quality Lead Generation methods you can use to generate free quality leads:

  1. Social Networking. This is probably the most fun way to generate leads online. Networking with other like minded individuals who are most likely to respond to your offers.
  2. Forum Marketing. Forums are a great way to generate leads. There are forums on every topic imaginable, so no matter what niche you’re in – you can leverage forums to generate at least 10-15 leads a day.
  3. Pay Per Click Marketing. This is actually a paid method to generate leads but it is as targeted as it gets and you can generate plenty of leads even on a budget.
  4. Video Marketing. You can leverage the enormous popularity of video sharing sites and generate leads by recording 3-5 minute videos on any given topic in your niche.
  5. Article Marketing. Article Marketing happens to be one of the most “proven to work if done right” methods of quality lead generation.

Those are only 5 out of tens if not hundreds of quality lead generation methods you can adopt to generate 10-50 leads a day for FREE. And the leads you are going to generate will be targeted, responsive and interested in what you have to offer.

I couldn’t agree with you more! I can’t fathom why people buy leads when it’s so easy to generate your own, and on the plus side they would be far more targeted!

Well, it’s not necessarily easier, but
it is far more targeted than any bought lead ever will be.
