What marketing tools do you use regularly? Do you use them for 1) generating traffic? 2) SEO 3) emails 4) social media 5) forum activities, or 6) Others.
SEO (self explanatory) Social Media (focus on Google+ Twitter FaceBook) also user Reddit, Digg, Delicious, Stumble (use Sendible and Onlywire to autopost to my profiles and a social media syndication tool to autopost to hundreds of other peoples profiles.) Subscriber Email (only email my subscribers as minimum as possible) PPC (Bing ads 90% Google ads 10%) Forums (contribute and you can drive a lot of traffic)
Public Relations (PR) Customer Referral Programs Third Party Referral Programs Telemarketing Direct Mail SEO SEM Social Media Advertising (online and offline) Trade Shows These are the ten marketing methods for generating leads. I have listed them in descending order of quality of leads (not quantity) based upon my experience over the past 20 years in the business. Note that the three highest quality leads come from efforts that do not cost money, for the most part. However, please let me know if I have missed something as I am always open to new ways to generate quality prospects.
I use social media and forums the most. However, it's about time I stop procrastinating with making my website.
