Lead Capture Pages that Build Your Business

by Glenn Antoine on July 14, 2009

If you have spent any time searching the internet, building an online business or a network marketing business you probably have a pretty good idea of the purpose behind a lead capture page. Even if you are new to affiliate marketing or network marketing you probably have at least heard of lead capture pages.

The real questions are:

*Do you currently use lead capture pages?

*Do you know the importance of a lead capture page in building your business?

*Do you know how to properly setup your lead capture pages to be as effective as possible?

As a matter of providing a little background information on lead capture pages let me start with a few of the basics. Lead capture pages are simply one page websites that are designed to point out the important key factors of your product or service, maybe some testimonials on your product or service and then most importantly to move your lead to enter their contact information in the form on your page.  At this point you now have a good quality lead that you will want to follow up with as soon as possible. By taking the time review your lead capture page followed by a demonstrated interest in learning more about what you have to offer makes this person a highly qualified lead.

If you have been in business for yourself for any given amount of time, I am sure that you’ll agree that in order to succeed with any network marketing or MLM business you are going to need a steady supply of fresh targeted leads who are anxious to get started in a home based business opportunity. New to the industry; No problem, but you need to understand that new leads are the life blood of your business. Without them you don’t have a business.

Ask any lead vendor that you can and you will quickly find out that they all know the importance of leads to your business. That little piece of information is exactly why there are a large number of lead vendors and why they charge the prices they do for their leads.

Having a visitor to your lead capture page is great, but they will expect an immediate response once they have filled out your request for information. One of the most important components to your lead capture page is an autoresponder. The importance of having a good autoresponder is that now you have the ability to automatically follow up with someone who has requested information regardless of where you may be at the moment. While there are many autoresponder services available for you to choose from the two that most marketers use are Aweber and GetResponse. Personally I use Aweber for a number of reasons, but the important thing is that you have them available to you.

A few of the important characteristics that you will want to note about your newly generated leads from your lead capture page are:

*Quality – the overall quality of the leads that you generate verses the leads purchased from a lead vendor will be of a much higher quality.

*Cost – the total cost of generating your own leads will be substantially less than the cost of leads purchased from a vendor.

*Responsive – as a general rule leads that you capture yourself are much more responsive to your marketing efforts.

*Real Time – one of the things that lead vendors want to charge large sums of money for are fresh leads. When generating your own leads they are about as real time as you will ever get.

We have already addressed the importance of an autoresponder, but there are a couple of other components required to round out your lead capture page, so that it will be as effective as possible.

Ever heard the term “Content is King”?

Well, when it comes to your lead capture pages this phrase couldn’t be more applicable. However, not only must you have the content available, you must be sure that you are appealing to your target market. Understanding your target marketing, capturing their attention, getting them to understand exactly why they need your products or service and finally moving them to the point of providing you with their contact information is no minor task.

This is where having the ability to write good marketing and sales copy is a must. If you are not gifted with these skills you must either learn them or have access to someone that can provide this service for you.

Next you need to have an incentive that will entice people to fill out your lead capture form. What will be your incentive or bonus for filling out your lead capture form today?

Getting a visitor to your site to understand why they need your product or service and then moving them to the point of actually telling you that they want more information and would like a follow up call/email is the ultimate goal. However, for the largest majority of the people to visit your site, you will need to offer them something of value to fill out your form. And, as you can imagine people expect that they will receive that offer immediately or within a very reasonable amount of time.

About now many of you are looking at this information and agreeing that you need a system for generating leads, but to be honest the task seems to be a bit overwhelming. The GREAT news is that you don’t have to do it all by yourself.

What if I told you that you could accomplish all of the above and a lot more by simply leveraging the use of existing systems?

Would that make this task seem just a little easier to tackle? Well, you are in luck because that is exactly what I have done. While I was blessed to have been able to setup my own systems in years past they were not nearly as effective as I wanted. Imagine my surprise when I found that there was a way in which I could bypass all of the hassles, have a much more effective system in place and generate large numbers of leads daily.

If this is something that you missing in your business and would like more information on how you too can leverage the power of the internet to grow your network marketing or online business through lead capture pages, please feel free to contact me or check out this link to get more information: http://www.mlmbizmadeeasy.com/
