You can generate leads through list building from Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. 

Nowadays, we cannot deny the fact that most businesses have websites and social media presence all over the world! 

Methods: 

•  Choose your preferred search engine. Ex: Google
•  Type the keywords of your target market. Ex: List of Boutique Shop in "Location", List of Art Galleries in "Location", List of Advertising Agencies in "Location", etc. (You can play any keywords you'd like to use). Be specific to narrow down your search.
• After the search result, you'll see websites from the top recommended on Google. 
• Visit all of the websites to check out if there are list of multiple websites relevant to your search or if the website itself is a type of shop, art galleries or agencies you are looking for, you can add them now to your own list. 
•  Now, go to about us/contact us section of each website.
•  Copy the email address.
• Paste on your own list. You can put them on Excel Sheet or Notepad. I prefer Excel Sheet.
• Go to each website to copy and paste on your list.
• Rinse. 
• Repeat.

When I tried this method, this is one of the easiest way to collect Email Address for a specific target leads. Although, some websites do not provide their email address, I just send them a message directly on their contact us page.

This method takes time. It depends on the niche. I used to collect 300-1,000 email address for 4 hours/day. 

2. Online Directories

Many businesses are also registered on Online Directories but not all business websites are registered on online directories.

So, this is also a great way to add more targeted leads on your list.

Methods:

• Choose your preferred Online Directories like Yelp, Google places and Yahoo.
• Search for your targeted leads. (Don’t be afraid to be playful on your keywords).
• List of websites will appear.
• Visit each website.
• Just like from the method above, Find the Email Address of the website then copy and paste on your list.
• Rinse.
• Repeat.

3. Craigslist

Craigslist has many ads on different industries and there are many crazy listings as well. I used craigslist when I was job hunting and sending e-mails for collaboration with companies from my previous client.

Methods:

• Choose your Industry.
• Choose Location.
• You can also optimize your search on the left side.
• Click all the ads that appeared related to your niche.
• Copy the Email on the “Send Email” Button on the right upper corner of the ad.
• Though, the email addresses appear in alternative way to protect people’s identity but you can collect them and it really works on Email Marketing.
• Rinse.
• Repeat.

4 Reasons You Should Know Why Facebook Groups are Powerful for Your Marketing Strategy

Why would you spend for thousands of dollars for the Facebook ads if you can reach thousands of targeted people for free?

Facebook is one of the most powerful ways to reach thousands of people organically through Facebook Groups Posting.

I still remember when I worked as a Virtual Assistant at Choki, nonprofit organization based in US. We’re always finding ways to reach people organically since it is a nonprofit. It was crazy promoting about what we do from different social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Email Marketing.

Facebook Groups are very interesting depending on the niche. In fact, I have 929 groups on Facebook from niches like Personal Development, Marketing, Jobs and Careers, Spirituality and other groups which members post random, fun, quotes, articles, promotions, etc. Sounds crazy, right?

But, how can Facebook Groups be a powerful tool to use for your business? Either you are promoting your brands, your services, or your products; you should add Facebook Group Posting in your Marketing Strategies. 

Here’s why you should use Facebook group posting to promote products or services: 

1. REACHING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN SPECIFIC NICHE.

I have around 200+ groups in Spirituality niche. I joined in those groups because Choki is about promoting higher consciousness, Buddhism, meditation, etc. The lowest members in 1 group that I have in my list is around 1,000 members and the highest members that I have in just another 1 group is around 150,000+ members.

In my other groups in Entertainment niche, we are 2 million members and counting. (I’m not an admin here).

Can you see how powerful a single post in just 1 group if it has thousands of members? Of course! They are targeted leads. Would they join in that niche if they weren’t interested?


2. YOU CAN REACH UP TO 100,000+ PEOPLE DAILY.

I have 929 groups on Facebook. Most of the groups I joined are 5,000+ members, 10,000+ members, 40,000+ members, and 100,000+ members but there are around 1,000+ members only. However, if you would add all of them, you already have millions of targeted leads, right? 

WARNING: YOU CAN’T JUST POST TO ALL OF YOUR GROUPS EVERYDAY. YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE BANNED OR BLOCKED TEMPORARILY OR WORST PERMANENTLY.

What are you going to do to avoid getting banned or blocked by Facebook? 

It’s better if you’re going to use your personal account to post on groups so that admins or other members won’t block you in the group and mark as spam. 

Here are the methods: 

• Join groups related to your niche ONLY.
• Join 30-50 groups per day with a minimum delay interval of 5 minutes for joining each group.
• Post on Groups related to your niche ONLY.
• Post on 30-50 groups per day with a minimum delay interval of 5 minutes each post.
• Rinse.
• Repeat.

Why you should have a delay for joining and posting on Facebook groups? My Facebook account was banned a lot of times and I had to email Facebook support to get back my account. Always keep your account safe! 

3. NETWORKING. 

Some admins will let you down by saying that your post isn’t allowed, etc. In this case, you must be friendly to admins. Add them on your Facebook friend’s list. Be their friends!

In this case, they will allow what you want to post but DO NOT BE TOO SALES-Y. It’s better if you post things that are valuable to the members and sales will follow.

You might also receive referrals through word of mouth which is still one of the most powerful marketing strategies of all time.

So, connect with them to gain and build trust for your business! 

4. MAKE IT EASIER TO REACH 100,000 PEOPLE DAILY.

From my #2 Post that you can reach 100,000 daily isn’t possible for a single account if you are posting to each group that has 100,000+ members. However, the tough part is that your niche might not have that huge number of members in the groups. 

So, here’s what you are going to do: 

• Create or Buy Profiles – if you’re going to post 50 groups daily in 1 account, you can reach more people if you have 10 Profiles. So, if you have 10 Profiles which can rotate post on different groups, you can share to 500 groups daily. 
• Message members in the group if you have to. (Just be personal and keep it short simple).
• Run a Contest and Post it in large groups. For ex. Like this post and get a chance to win a giveaway then share it on your timeline or tag your friends to win this giveaway, etc. In that case, you can reach more people beyond your groups.

CONCLUSION:

Persistence is the key! Many Online Marketers who promotes gadgets, gaming and even gambling site made $1,000-$5,000/month from their CPA and affiliate programs through Facebook Group Posting as their Marketing Strategy. So, if you have something to offer on your website, how much more you can make via Facebook Group Posting?

Image Source: shoptab 1. Post on Facebook Groups  Believe it or not. There are thousands, hundred thousand and even millions of members in a single group. You just have to: Use your Personal Account. Identify your niche. Use search tab button on Facebook to find groups related to your niche. Join only to groups that have already thousands of members. (Some groups may take some time for approval of admins, etc.) Join to 30-50 groups per day ONLY. Add 5-10 minutes of time delay before joining to each group. (To avoid getting banned or blocked). Once accepted in the groups, you can start sharing your post from your own Facebook Page.

Share to 30-50 groups per day ONLY. (To avoid getting banned or blocked). Rinse. Repeat. Watch how your organic reach post increase dramatically!  2. Post on Other Facebook Pages This method might seem a little bit spammy if you post directly on other Facebook pages without their permission. Instead of competing to your competitors, it's better if you would collaborate with them. So, here's what you should do:  Find Facebook Pages related to your niche. Contact them through "message tab" or find "email address” located to their "about us" and email them. Ask if it's okay to post on their page. Collaborate with them and ask if it's okay to share what you do on their Facebook page. Post on other Facebook pages using your own Facebook page.  Rinse. Repeat. 3. Facebook Commenting This method works pretty well on Personal Development Niche and other niche that has the most engaging followers. Find competitors. Check out their post if there are comments. The more comments, the better. Post a picture that you think people will like using your own Facebook page account instead of personal account. (It can also drive likes to your page and posts.) Rinse. Repeat. 4. Use Organic Targeting Facebook offers organic targeting to get Facebook fans based on age, location, gender, interests, hobbies, etc. Choose the specific target as much as possible to get higher increase in likes.  5. Post High Quality Content, Always This is the most important thing to get organic reach on Facebook. Make sure that you are posting high quality content.  Choose your picture wisely.  Write entertaining/interesting caption. Keep the caption short and simple. Make your headline interesting (make people curious) Post evergreen content Post emotionally compelling content. Think like an audience. (Does your post worth sharing to my Facebook friends?) 6. Post on Off-Peak or On-Peak Hours (Experiment)  Best suggested time to post on Facebook: 12:00-1:00 P.M on Saturdays & Sundays, 3:00-4:00 P.M. on Wednesdays, 1:00-4:00 P.M. on Thursday & Fridays.  Post once daily ONLY. (Posting more than that can lead to decrease engagements and likes). Try to post on Off-Peak hours sometimes like 11:00 P.M.  Experiment which best time you can gain more reach, engagements and likes. 7. Share on Other Social Network Share your post on other Social Networks like Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, LinkedIn Groups, etc.  CONCLUSION: To get thousands of organic reach, make sure that you are sharing your post on groups that have huge members with a minimum of 5,000 to 100,000+. To gain likes, always make sure that you are always sharing high quality content. Do not let your audience get bored. Keep doing it and you'll get thousands of organic reach, engagements, Facebook page likes and you can turn them into customers.
