How Do You Get Business Opportunity Seekers Without Re-Mortgaging Your Home

- And That Are Interested In Your Offers?

If you're looking for business opportunity seekers, where do you start? In all things, you'll have most success if you 'look outside the box'.

Most programs suggest you start with your 'warm market'. This usually means harassing and alienating your friends and family with your business offers. The fact is, unless you're actually successful already, your friends and family won't even be mildly interested.

I've been doing online marketing for a few years now. Because I'm reasonably successful at it, a few friends and family have 'gotten the bug', and asked me for some advice on how to get started making money online. That's one of the reasons I decided to make this site - to provide an easy reference to all the different options out there, and how to go about it. In fact, when making this site I thought, wow, if I'd had all this information 'under one roof', when I started out, I would have avoided wasting so much money and time on pointless so-called opportunities and practices.

So, you can see that even with friends and family, by thinking outside the box, you can generate successes in that area. One caveat though - even in this scenario, your friends and family will probably do much better at other business endeavors, or types of online businesses, than the ones you're promoting.

So, how do you find business opportunity seekers, if you're just starting out? Or if you're friends and family are interested in other businesses?

You could either

• generate your own leads
• buy lists of business opportunity seekers
• use PPC (pay per click) to lead them to your website

The first scenario is the easiest. It involves putting up a website, doing keyword research (www.wordtracker.com is an excellent tool), and creating content around your theme. You would then use search engine optimization and traffic generation methods to drive traffic to your site in a very cost effective way. MPAM (the Massive Passive Cash Machine) has a lot of information and courses on how to do this. And they have a section for network marketers too. You can also check out some of the other articles on this site.

Buying lists of business opportunity seekers is one immediate way of getting leads. But it's important to understand that these are 'cold leads' - they are not responding to your business offer when they put up their hand to get information on making money online. And they are probably being bombarded with offers from a lot of other people. You'll probably need to call them to convert any significant number of these leads into signups for your business.

The good news is that these are generally targeted lists, in that you know they are interested in setting up a home business. That does make them better than harassing your friends and family! Just be aware you'll need to do more than plug them into an autoresponder to get them to join your opportunity.

Another option is to use pay per click advertising. This involves writing an ad, and bidding on keyword terms in contextual ad networks, such as google's Adwords program. This is not for the faint hearted, or newbie, although there are some excellent ebooks and courses out there to help you get started. You'll need to research the terms business opportunity seekers are most likely to search on in the search engines. This helps ensure you get targeted, relevant results for your ads.

And to avoid having to re-mortgage your home to be able to afford the amount you'll be paying per person clicking on your ad, you should find out the terms that have less people clicking on them, but also cost less. If you bid on enough of these terms, you will still be able to reach a large number of business opportunity seekers.
