The Best Way To Generate Leads And Recruit People Into My Business On A Shoestring Budget

I get asked all the time what's the best way to generate leads and recruit people into my business on a shoestring budget, so today we're going to review the three most powerful ways to do just that.

1. Funded Proposal:
The best way to increase your probability of success in your business is to turn your little budget into a much larger one while generating leads and a profit in the process.

If you don't have much money to promote your business then the first thing you should think about is how to make your budget larger, not how to get by solely on free traffic.

Why?

Free traffic is great, but to win in the end you want to have the ability to generate traffic from as many different places as possible and well, most high yield advertising does cost money, so it's a reality to understand and overcome, not try to maneuver around.

A funded proposal gives you the opportunity to generate leads and have those leads pay for themselves through the sale of the products in your marketing system.

So the most important strategy is to think about how you can afford to pay more for advertising instead of trying to do everything free and using a funded proposal system is by far the most powerful way to do this.

2. Article Marketing:
After returning from an extremely informative seminar this weekend the power of article marketing has been reinforced in my mind in a big way. I personally have written some 100 plus articles that has lead to over 80,00 references to my name in Google. That's powerful.

This past weekend I listened to the strategies of an article marketing specialist and this method alone had yielded him over $12,000 a month all via free traffic. If those two things aren't proof enough that article marketing is powerful then I don't know what is.

It's free, it's viral, and produces the highest converting leads of all traffic sources I've tracked, so I suggest you use this strategy and use it in a big way.

An article a day keeps the J.O.B. away!

3. Blogging:
This one may surprise you, but blogging is not only a powerful tool to use in your prospecting efforts, but it's a highly targeted free traffic generator as well. In fact I was extremely surprised to see that one of my blogs that I use solely for prospecting and as a meeting place for my team after checking my server stats to this day generats over 200 unique visitors a month and all I do is write stuff and add it to the blog.

Don't expect blogging to bring you big traffic today or tomorrow, but six months down the line when you have over 100 post or so on your blog mark my words the search engines are going to be sending you some significant traffic just for you having put that content out there.

That's proof enough for me.

So that's it.

The last thing to say is this, don't think about using just one of these methods use them all together and you'll soon not only have high quality targeted free traffic and leads coming your way, but you'll find you have an ever growing marketing budget to go along with it.

Now all that's left do is get to work!
